Poem

I come from the race of the black people
Black culture
Black ancestry
Prominent people; Dangote, Obama, Ali, Nkrumah, Mandela
The tales of our forefathers
Gives us a sense of belonging
Our skin colour gives us away
Our hair so black and beautiful
And the beating of the talking drum
Makes us move with our waist, hands and legs in sink
We are bold and beautiful
Ambitious and determined
Powerful and Opinionated
Hardworking and Focused
Nothing can deter us
From slavery to bondage
We are still stronger than ever
Paving way for the younger generation
My oh my
Nothing compares to our tasty delicacies
From jollof rice to banku
From Egusi to ob)no
From sadza to Vegetable soup
MMMM......DELISH!!!!!!
Africa a spice of life
Africa a place of versatility 
Africa a place I call home
Thanks so much for the support and love.....I really appreciate
Sorry for not posting in awhile


 Have a nice day guys......Peace!!! Shalom!!!

The form One XpeRienCe (Senior High) Part 2

  I was told the prep was going to be held at the dining hall since we haven't been given classes yet. I joined a batch of girls at the table and I opened a book to read. Some girls were just talking about what they did after they graduated from Junior high school and some were talking about trending things going on. I was just tired to even talk to anyone by the time I realized I was fast asleep. I don't know how fast the time went. After a while, I heard the siren and that immediately told me prep was over. I took my book and headed for the dormitory but first house prayers were made before we were allowed to enter into our dorms. I got in so exhausted. Immediately, I started packing my things because I didn't want to wait for tomorrow.  I didn't like where I was sleeping. My bed was right beside the door but hey there was nothing I could do since I came late.  Fortunately or unfortunately for me I ended up getting two school mothers; one was in form 3 and the other w...

The Form One XpeRienCe part 3

 We got down and stood infront of them. I was told to go to bed since I just came today. The seniors told them to showcase their talents right infront of them. One of them sang a Jordan Sparks song titled 'No Air', another sang a gospel song and one senior said who could sing Brick and lace song 'Love is wicked'. At the time, that song was reigning and was the ish. They were just standing there, no one came forward. I was just lying on my bed and I was singing that song. I didn't know they were listening because I thought I wasn't that loud so when I stopped I realized the place was super quiet. The next thing I heard was 'form one girl get down' . I got up from my bed and stood infront of them then I was asked to sing the song I was singing. I did when I was done, I was asked to go back to bed and that was it. The next day was Saturday and I didn't know what to expect. I got to the bathroom to take my bath and I realized that the bathroom was an ope...

The form One XpeRienCe part 5

  Class was indeed interesting but I didn't like where I was sitting. My sitting partner was something else. The way she spoke to me I didn't like it at all. French was also boring for me at the time but I did enjoy it when I was in junior high. Wednesdays we had general assembly where all the teachers, the students and the headmistress would meet to discuss about certain things going on in the school. Saturdays was for entertainment and some times visiting. During my time, visiting happened twice in one month and it was nice. You get to eat proper home cooked meal or proper meal from a restaurant and that period was really cherished. That is the time you see different kinds of foods, drinks and snacks. It was really a time for sharing.  Sundays were church days and work days. The church is mostly held at the Asibey Hall in the morning and sometimes we would go to the presbyterian church in the town to join the community members there for service. This was done from class to c...
