The wait

 THE 'WAIT'


We were told that to wait means never.
We were told that to wait means not part of it.
We were told that to wait means cannot have it.
We were told that to wait means doesn’t belong to it.

These are the interpretations of our 'Wait'.
When you are told it, it means one of those.
Wait or Never
Cannot be a part of what they have
Doesn’t belong to what they do
Cannot have what they have.
Our world of Safe play.

Tactical greed is played on 419 formations
By the coaches non-English but acquainted with English knowledge.
They have personified everything
And give us the scraps
Which were the 'wait' for their dogs.

It is time to interpret the interpretation of the things we ineterpret.
Bridge the 'wait'gap now or never
By being you
In the affairs of men.

When the men of light and wisdom
Occupied the centre stage of Philosophy,
The Aristotles, Platos, Shakespeares and the Worthwords...
They waited not
But plunged themselves into the wait button
And the never was an ever.

THE EROSION OF OUR IDENTITY: A CHANGING TREND OF BASIC PLEASANTLY PRACTICES AMONG THE ANUFƆ

THE EROSION OF OUR IDENTITY: A CHANGING TREND OF BASIC PLEASANTLY PRACTICES AMONG THE ANUFƆ Njakpien, ANUFƆ is your language. Whether you like it or not. LINGUISTICALLY, every language group, the world over, cherishes their basic drivers of their language such the forms of greeting (pleasantly exchanges), and home entry practices etc.  Njakpien,  The ANUFƆ have a rich, highly invaluable way of exchanging pleasantries. Very basic ones at that.  For instance, in the morning, a youngster deferring to an adult may greet squatting:  a) Nja ahin oo, Nbo ahin oo.  Elders may use:  b) Daa i nja, Daa i nbo.  Peers may use: c) Ya kɛrɛ daabiri daari sɛ? In the noon,  d) Nja awo oo, Nbo awo oo. Ya ni wiɛ kɛkɛrɛ n ti sɛ, juma fie ti sɛ, am tana fɛn di? etc. In the evening,  e) Nja ndo oo, Nbo ndo oo. Ya ni naasɔ di? Ya ni kɔnguɛ?  And several others. Very basic, very simplistic. Without ill- intention, we have relegated these forms of exchanges to th...

We are mortals but blessed with divine qualities

Njakpien, We are mortals but blessed with divine qualities.  Yesterday, the linguist of the acquatic realm. Mr. Crocodile, assembled all amphibians to a meeting to decide their new King.  In his usual signature back and forth trudging, he rung his adawuro, passing one settlement and another, both announcing and insulting. "Agoo, all idiots of the realm," he started. As you may be aware, the notorious old King is some few moons away from his grave. By way of preparing a successor, he has, by royal order, instructed me to announce to you of some thumbprint exercise on the seventh day of the seventh moon. Be warned that he will not go into his grave without this exercise being done. Before this time, some amphibians were in positions that the community of amphibians entrusted but they had not met the expectations of the community of amphibians because they elected to listen to a few favourite individuals. They were their all. I mean their all. Not the ones the community of amphi...
