Ogunu Diaries

Eii,eii, is it my own Ogunu you are talking about.
The bravest of the brave.
Ogunu whose mothers labour pains started at the first cry of thunder on the sacred market day
Born to the most beautiful maiden, fourth wife of Ayite the hunter
I have seen Ogunu and you have heard the stories
The boy had a way with women even at a tender age
I have seen Ogunu
Bathing in the Ikeja river and I can speak of his manhood
One that makes the gods proud.
Amina I heard told Nazab that Ogunu was too much of a man for her
Nazab and Ayina confessed the same
I suspect his prowess is fading
Aku and Sanem were not moved by their sessions
Ogunu whose first cry was heard at the beginning of the rain storm.
He must be brought forward.
He must show us he his still a man without fermented palm wine
He must show the gods still favour him
Ogunu,Ogunu...
Show your face

  Indulge me; we all believe the creation story; well those of us who do. Have you taken time to analyze it. 2 separate '' humans '' created, well... Some say 1 but I say 2. 2 trees in the middle of the garden, with 4 rivers. Who won't be tempted?  Beauty is a sight for sore eyes they say. And God saw that it was good. Isn't that interesting... God really isn't the poster boy for certainty amidst the choices he gives us, but one would think he knows; at least what is good.  The earth they say was without form and was filled with darkenes... Hmmm....  Again how do you identify darkness. You see I think the concept of day and night derived from the nonexistent of light where darkness was indenfied makes creationism interesting.  Back on the topic of the humans, wait let's do the tress first.  1 tree on life, how interesting that's tree number 1. 2 tree of good and evil !?.. No wait.. Tree of Knowledge of good and evil and some how a reptile that what i

Sinner's Prayer

Dear heavenly father, I come to you completely with full acknowledgment that I am a sinner. I believe am a child if God, your child,but am not sure. Well... Because I continue to sin.  Though the guilt after kills me and I feel ashamed all the time. Father, I know of you. I want to be good, cos your word teaches us that. But for the most part, I think am good but for this one sin. Then again I know that there is nothing like one sin. Father, I am ashamed, ashamed now to ask for forgiveness. That prodigal son, most times he's on my mind. But even he repented. Me?! .. Am still repenting. Am afraid, sometimes even sure you won't take me back Sometimes I think you will What is the verdict?? Tell me please I shed tears only you and my pillow know. I try to not sin too much, That one koraa, Do I know which one is too less ? Paapa, Right now dier, Tears and wailing don't even move myself any longer Well... They have their moments Still I really want to c

ME

Hello Me; Today was like any other day. I tried like I always do, To be strong. But even the smile started to fade. You know; I heard it called depression. That I do not agree with. I don't feel inadequate Is that a lie? Don't I pride myself of being a pessimist? Well, I guess one without the other is an incomplete analysis. Wow..... Am tired already Just thinking about that. Anyway, all I wanted to say is, I don't feel like ME today. Am allowed ain't I? To be weak Cry Feel like I need love Like I need desperately to be held. Me. You know, we don't owe anyone our Strength Beauty, Togetherness, Toughness and or Assertiveness. Those care free days Where vulnerability is seen as a weakness A disability even Those are not cries for help!! We all need to recharge before a shutdown.
