Happy Birthday: An Ode To A Brother Like No Other



There are some thoughts 
I'm glad life never made me ponder
It's the trajectory my life 
Would have taken without you in it.

You are a treasure 
That fills our heart with so much delight 
And cause our hearts to skip for joy.
The seas that cover the ends of the earth 
Cannot measure the happiness 
that floods the navels of our souls.





Your presence in this utopia 
Fills a void no one can attempt.
Cause your worth is immeasurable 
And you are a priceless gift 
that God designed to make this day whole.

On this special day,
Don't laugh at these skinny girls.
Tell your fathers not to walk like a crab 
Even though funny men cannot be trusted,
You have earned our trust.

Your creativity will continue to melt 
the crust of the earth 
Cause you melt our hearts in a manner
The sun cannot replicate.
You shape our lives with soothing words
In a manner the stars will stare in envy.

The stage is set and the dancers are ready.
Let the drums fill up the streets.
It's time for the orchestra to ring loud
With a sound of rejoicings that deafen ears.







For it is not a coincidence 
That it pleased the creative God 
To exercise his creativity to creatively create
And carve this creative genius 
To bless the world with his creativity.

If I had all the options in the world,
I will never swap a brother like you for another.
You are one of a kind whose presence has thought me
Many life invaluable lessons.

Who could forget your ingenuity 
From creatively designing a flute
With a pawpaw stalk
To those days you would save your pocket money 
Just to have a whole fish to yourself.




What beautiful memories
The words are inadequate to convey.
Why are we so blest is all I'll ask
To have you as gift for the world.


I pray that on this day,
You will continue to walk in purpose.
You will run and never get tired;
Walk and not get weary. 
May the wisdom God has graced you increase exponentially.

May you be secured under the shadows of his wings,
Continue to nestle in the hollows of his palms.
May you reside in his strong tower all your days,
And may your vision never be silenced.

Poetry:The Altar of Matrimony

I have waited,  I have really waited For many days and nights Through many sunrise and sunsets  That I have lost pace with. I have always wondered And found myself lost In the world of my thoughts I have been shamed I have been mocked I have been chided All because I chose To wait for you And dance to the rhythm That we have been instructed. This day Seemed never to arrive Out of impatience People have broken themselves Into different souls And meshed with different bodies. I am so proud I waited for you I am so proud I am not a coward For pinning values on you That I refuse myself. This night We will teach ourselves The rhythm of love And move at our own pace Tonight I see not used good But a beautiful treasure. I see not an art in a hurry to act but an art whose beauty ages  like a fine wine. Ton...

My Experience With Concussion (25/11/18)

Last night I found myself dazed, bruised, disillusioned and ultimately concussed after I had a supposed collision with a striker on the football field which I had no recollection of. The events that succeeded the occurrence is such which was grey and mind boggling as I tried to reconcile what really happened to me. I found myself on the sideline without knowing when and how I found myself there with people asking if I knew what really happened to me and I kept telling them I didn't know.... I kept wondering what could have happened to me until I realized  I was manifesting the symptoms of a concussion without the memory of it. The very same one that almost made Petr Cech lose his life playing for Chelsea against Reading in 2005 when an opposing player; Kevin Hunt clashed into his head and ever since has seen him wearing a head mask to protect himself as well as the recent case of concussion suffered by the loaned out Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius in the champion...
