Maureen Alikor: Smile that conquers the storm


Many days and nights I have wondered how you conquered the storm,
And the reason why you glow so bright and mask the shine of the sun,
Under the troubadour you traversed cause your heart is full of beauty and love,
Reminding us that we reshape and reconstruct our story not our scars,
Every passing moment and changing phases of life, may you be a beacon of hope,,
Effervescent, extraordinary, priceless, valuable, bold and beautiful like fine pottery
Nurtured, natured, creatively shaped and designed by a masterful artistry.



A life without you being present would have caused a ripple and cataclysmic rumble,
Like a Tsunami, there would have been a great wave of violent tremor and disaster,
Indefatigable, irreplaceable and unfathomable is your worth to this existence,
Knocking down doors and conquering territories, breaking forth with a spring in your step,
Oh, I pray your life endlessness; of peace, joy, happiness and longevity of life,
Realizing that your vision and purpose is to revitalize the drowning soul as a shining star.


Happy birthday Maureen Alikor; The beautiful and trailblazing you blessed with a smile that conquers the storm.

Thank you for taking out time to celebrate me and for penning such words to honour me a mere mortal.

In my life, every positive fruit and result you see is the handwork of God. He had been a true Father and a true King who reigns. My entire life is dedicated to birthing fruits that represent God's kingdom.

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...

Burning Coles (Pt. 2) - Emmanuela Evbuoma

‘My leg my leg’ Seyi who now was sitting on the floor cried. ‘Oh my God’ Mrs Cole exclaimed as she saw the oil stain on her daughter’s sky blue jean trousers. She quickly turned off the gas cooker and helped Seyi remove her trouser as she called on top of her voice to Mr Cole, who was hearing all that was going on but showed no interest. Mr Cole staggered into the kitchen ‘what is it? Why you shouting my name like they are chasing you?’ he asked, obviously drunk. ‘Hot oil poured on your daughter’s thighs and that’s all you can say?’ she asked as she poured cool water on Seyi’s thighs. ‘So what do you now want me to do?’ he asked annoyingly ‘better take her to the hospital and don’t disturb me’ he said and turned around to leave. ‘Ha is that all you have to say?’ Mrs Cole was fed up of her husband’s lackadaisical attitude. She lifted Seyi up from the floor and supported her as they walked out of the kitchen to the main door. She shouted on top of her voice ‘Bimbo b...
