Journal Of A Corper



Journal of a Corper
Once again
Our sickness of 4 years
Leads us to the queue
Even as we await our turn
Under hot creeky weather
We wait in vain
Our lives unknown to us in danger
Creek boys are at it again

Influencing our right and choice
But face to face with AK47
Wont you do same?
Line up where they want you to
Thumb print where they ask you to

“Our man must lead again”
They chorus
Determination lined up their faceless faces
The machines look very light in their hands
You must join the chorus or else…………


Serving father land was fun
Attending to them on queue was deadly
“Hey you! Carry the box and paper and follow us”
“To where” I heard me say
Only to notice my legs were off the floor
Besides me stood two heftys
Roughs and Toughs at my left and right

Finally I saw light
For through the journey, it was night
I sat in a large room with mates
All busy doing the work of the queue
Around stood the roughs and toughs with deadly weapons
My Faith failed me
And in minutes I had soiled some choices of the queue

“Hurray, finally a change!”
The jubilation spreads like fire
Not for him but for him
Whatever and how ever
I await my pay

Odunlade Kolade....marriage in trouble

To many lovers of Yoruba movie industry, the name Odunlade Adekola is like what Omotola Jalade Ekeinde or Genevieve Nnaji mean to Nollywood. No wonder he is one of the highest paid actors in that sector of the Nigerian film industry. Apart from being an actor, Odun, as he is well known by fans, is also a Glo ambassador. He has also had his share of romantic scandals since gaining fame some years ago. Not too many people know that the Abeokuta, Ogun State-based actor is married with kids.

Top 25 Words NigeriansCommonly Mispronounce

Some weeks back we started some articles aimed at exposing 25 Commonly mispronounced words. Here is the concluding part  16. Curse/cause/course. Many Nigerians have a hard time distinctly pronouncing the words “cause,” “course,” and “curse.” They are all pronounced “kos.” British English speakers pronounce “curse” like “kes,” except that the “e” sound (which is kind of like the “e” sound in “met”) is long. Americans pronounce it “keRs,” also with a long “e” sound. “Cause” is pronounced “koz” with a short “o” sound (which is close to the “o” sound in “all”), and “course” is pronounced “kos” with a long “o” sound. In American pronunciation, the “r” in “course” is, of course, articulated to have something like “koRs.” 17. Debris . A lot of Nigerians I know pronounce the last letter in this word and render the “i” sound like it’s a short one. But native speakers pronounce it like “debree.” That means the last “s” is never sounded and the “i” sound is long. But there are v
