  by Emmanuel Akinwale The UI Research foundation arranged medical examinations for adolescent students of the University of Ibadan from December 11th to December 13th.  As of the time this report was compiled, the medical test took place in the Faculty of the Social Sciences pako lounge. The medical examination, as stated by one of the health officials, is intended to determine the haemoglobin level in adolescents.

POEM: Money, The fleeting Visitor

by Nwaka Esther Money, The fleeting Visitor    Where did you go?    Why did you leave so fast?   This is the tale of every hands that this visitor has touched.   Money is a fleeting visitor ,   Too quickly it leaves , Too quickly it runs out .     Money is a fleeting visitor   So, stay ready , when it visits, your house must be steady ,   Let your head be p regnant with plans and ambitions,   That’s how you plan an ambush waiting to devour this visito r.   Because i f you don't have yourself ready, you wouldn't notice when it leaves.     The advice is to prepare a welcome party but have a lasting plan too ,   Sometimes, if this visitor isn't welcomed properly, he would run away in a blink   But when received dearly, he stays long enough to resent you .   He'd feel too used for the right reasons ,   He ’d feel exchanged for investments that would yield more of him in the future.   T...

SATIRE: OGA AT THE TOP

Image
by John Bukunmi   They were here last week, sheltered their butchered silence underneath their sleeve, they would roll their flowing agbada like the French omelette, from afar, we could hear them mumbling of their fantasy future. They were here last week, forgetting that, the night can be so sad to bring stars. Day can be grumpy to give the lonely sun it's utterances..... we would listened to their parodies with our paradoxical soul. They were here last week. "Officer"........ Welcome......  How is oga at the top? Their consuming laughter would spread like lines with lies......... Oga is fine they whispered,  when they knew we are unschooled in Oga's chameleon talent. Spray money in the dawn, Slay bullets in the dusk. They were here last week. Greased our hands and fed our minds, telling us to hold firm our brooms and despise our umbrellas.  Our unwary hearts was wounded with hollow promises.
