Together at Sixty

 I can feel the warmth of the breeze from the North !

As it's echoes the beautiful sounds of the Kakaki down to the south !

Where the Udu and Sekéré  are resonating on a low key.

As Jubilation roars across the Niger area.

A new nation is born called Nigeria.


Sitting at the bank of River Niger and Benue 

I could hear silence from the confluence.

I took a deep breathe as I navigate through the length and breadth of the rivers.

As it's flows downward to form the Delta .


The journey to nationhood has been tough.

In the midst of chaos we had a reason to laugh.

That's d zeal to carry-on

In our hands is the crayon.

To paint a nation we can live on !


Looking back to our past, we had scars.

Looking up to the sky, it's brightens like a star.

A sign to keep our head high and forge ahead !


Together at sixty

Forever in unity 

Enjoying our similarities

Celebrating our differences

With sacrifice and determination !

A cause for celebration.


Together at Sixty !

Together we hold the vision !

Together we trust the process !

#AMOTEKUN IS CHEETAH NOT LEOPARD, FACT NOT FICTION !

Image
Following the recent launch of the Western Nigeria Security Network popularly known as “#AMOTEKUN” a security platform launched by the Governors of the western states to tackle the high level of insecurity facing the government of the day, the region aims at using the security force to oversee the area within its reach to curb criminal activities, although there were some forces opposing the idea, but from all indications now the security platform has come to stay. Another thing that bumps up after the launching is the animal in the emblem of the of the Security network, some says its Leopard, some says its cheetah. Some says “#Ekun” is tiger in #Yoruba some and therefore “Amotekun” is leopard and that is the animal in the emblem, the truth of the whole matter is in the whole of Africa there is no Tiger in the wild, the implications of this is that our Forefathers might have never come in contact with Tiger nevertheless having a name for it, which means “Ekun” is actua...
