I HAVE KNOWN GIRLS

I have known girls from the hood
Like the back of my palms.
Short and tall girls with bowl legs,
Skimpy and calm girls with pink lips.
Those that have fears and those that
have no fear in their eyes for men.

I have seen girl from the hood
Like I see my nakedness at morn.
Hot girls and cold girls I have known
Those that kill men, those we tickled
and they laughed away their life in joy.
These girls made us who we are.

I have dated girls from the hood
Those that have steps to every beat,
Atilogwo, bata, Gelede, and bolojo.
I have known girls and their nagging lips,
Sending the beat of madness into the
Memories of teenagers in the abyss of grave.

I have kissed girls from the hood,
Black and pink lips girls from the hood.
When you see the images of those honeyed
Damsels, they make men shy away
From their beautiful sinful faces.

Girls are sweet sin in the eyes of men.
I have known girls of lust and shame,
Those that wake up with stretch mark
On the corner of their lips and those with no fault,
Those that are wife material and those that are not,
Those that beat men and those that love men;
I have known girls from the hood.

THE MASCULINE QUEST FOR GENDER EQUALITY BY MUNIR ISHAQ

Whether it is sheer societal inclinations, or rather my singular perception of happenings, I must admit that the feminists agitation for gender equality should not be justified from all spheres, in the sense that, while it may be justified on the basis of the barbaric treatment women are been subjected to by some inhumane customary rules, however such injustice should not be advanced as covering all spheres of life, for the reverse is indeed the case. As such I propose it is high time the male gender also clamour for gender equality, largely due to the one sided treatment meted out to males at the expense of females as obtained in practice. Speaking from my own personal experience, I attended a program few days back, when it was time for contributions, I raised my hand as did some ladies present, the master of ceremony however refused to point me and proceeded to point all the ladies seated round me. I had to stand up, clearly and visibly showing myself to the MC before he granted me...

BREWED CHEMISTRY

From unwary jokes And banters With eyes fixated on another I saw you as just a funny friend Then chemistry set in Unconsciously so, Whirlwinds of passion swept by Here I am with you. I lived in denial She did too No, she is my friend! I whined! No, nothing would brew! She exclaimed! Then came the flame which illuminated our synch Lost my defense Her wall threw open My innate self wanted a friend A gist partner Someone to bring out my talkative self Fantasing playground jumps With our offsprings Whence they see Dad and Mum As troublesome lovers Our affection grew From chatters and laughs Half-speaking, half-singing Then love painted the scene For our fairy tale Here we are, Helplessly in love Like we've got wings to fly Up there to paradise... Babe, its not over With the sweet, There is the bitter With the laugh, There is the cry A new horizon set With storms coming Before the final lap of professing "I do" We ve go...

ARIYIKE

Arike One day, I will gather our kids and take them far away on a beautiful tale of how love held me sway on it's adventurous sails I will serenade them with stories from yore days about how unwary jokes morphed into flames of amorous desires I know they will laugh hearts out when I tell them about the timeless times I rehearsed fine lines hoping to sweep you off your feet and make brightly-coloured, winged things swirl and tumble in your innards. The very lines that fell in beautiful places in my head always flew away like freed birds when i needed them And then I will look away sheepishly like the fool I was First, it was a tingling then I got a feeling even caught my heart singing And you were the lyrics I dilly dallied but this feelings tarried Till my heartbeats synced in melody with yours When I wasn't looking love fell on my heart And when my heart was in faraway lands love came knocking Olarike You are more than wha...
