J'arrive




                                                   J'arrive


 I met a man
Who was given another identity
He didn't say "no" neither did he say "yes"
He left home

 So that he can use his new identity
He started searching for a green pasture
Motherland called for him
He said  "J'arrive"( I'm coming)

 He never gave up looking for the green pasture
Motherland called again
He said "J'arrive" (I'm coming)
Motherland was waiting

 He said to motherland 
" I will be back as soon as I find the green pasture"
Motherland was waiting
He found the green pasture

 He said to motherland
 " I will be back as soon as I gather enough harvest"
Motherland was waiting
He became too comfortable in the green pasture

 Motherland became a probability
The second choice
Time passed, things changed
Motherland was fading away
Yet there was no sign of his return

Ambitions

   Almost everyone dreams of something while growing up. We all have ambitions when we are little, which change as we grow up. Ambitions lead us to a definite aim in life. Furthermore, they help us focus on our goal no matter the cost. It drives us to do better in life and aim for the Stars . Ambitions differ from one person to another.    However, one common thing that we usually face is that over time, people switch their ambition to something else than that which they wished to be when they are little. We have many people in the medical field who wanted to be dancers. Similarly, some of the greatest politicians wanted to be artists. So we see how easily one gives up on their dreams to adapt to the society and to meet up to our reality  By Josué ✍🏽

Everyday Corona stories

Patrice ! Ade is sick o ! He’s having cough. Are you serious! replied another voice. Ade ! don’t touch me ! I said don’t touch me pls ! The sound mixed with fear and anger could not let me concentrate on writing the essay I needed for my summer internship.      On the morning of that same day, the 20th of March 2020, we were mandated to attend  the orientation of Coronavirus organized by village du Benin Togo. And also one must wash his hands with the provided soap and water in the school compound  before you can be allowed in class. The orientation was held in the hall with not more than 100 students per barge. The first barge ended with the installation of fear and extra carefulness in us and we washed our hands according to what we were taught in the hall by the school nurse before we left the school environment.       I was still on the summer internship application when news was brought to us that school has shutdown till further notice...

                                        EVERYDAY UNN EXPERIENCE                     Waking up with noise is now a culture in my hostel. It's either from the preachers or the students struggling for water or the prayers from the mosque ,  all these has become part of being a being a UNN student. scarcity of water, lack  of provision of light, lack of healthy classrooms and environment. Studying in University of Nigeria Nsuuka should be a privilege but I don't know if I'm allowed to say otherwise                                       On  30th August 2019, I woke up with a splitting headache and the sharp noise of students searching for where to fetch water. that was when I realised that I will soon join the queue because I had ...
