A GIRL FROM LAGOS She is not beautiful, She’s beyond it, She is wonderful, In beauty, other girls suffer defeat. That’s a lassie from Lagos, Thick lip-gloss With lips sweeter than honey, So let me call her “Honey”. Tho’ she is after money, I don’t care about the advice of mommy, Because she’s caught me. Her beauty is spell, And unto her kiss, I fell. She’s a girl from Lagos. TEMI, she’s a girl from Lagos, I careless about what bonds us, Love or lust I may be lost, But she’s the lassie that makes a man’s pride rust. Her smile captures like wildfire She's a kings’ desire, I don’t need pension when I retire. She powers me like live wires. Dressed to kill She still smiles to heal. Lord I am on my knees, Give me a lassie from Lagos. PRECIOUS, she’s a damsel from Lagos, She’s all spices and Indian onion, Her fragrance reaches a thousand miles She blew up my pride like landmines, And commands humility to duty I will...

She is abiku, the market chatters That heartless child who cackle at her mother's tears, But whose fault is this pathetic story, A twist of fate and faith ? Bejide is the betrothed from the moulder, But who weds a lass who goes to yonder on her marriage eve ? Isn't this fate heinous than that of Odewale, That cursed heir who slew h...

WHY YOU SHOULD TASTE WEED. "Last week a 21 walked out of his head He was blank and his knowledge Holden He could barely see his death ahead, It came as took the road" That’s what I read in the paper this morning, I couldn’t help laughing, seriously ‘Twas funny. But the question is "WHY?" "Why taste weeds when cigarettes make you die? Young, if a pin could kill you What do you think a nail would do?" Seriously I'm not here to teach anyone anything, I’m not one of those that says "DONT this, don’t that," like there's something bad about everything. Seriously, I'm from a new age, I can’t walk old ways. WHEN you're useless to live, Your existence is a minus, it doesn't count. Something’s in your heart screws, and you want to grab a knife, You see death, and you're ready like a scout. Then you should taste weeds. IF you are looking for something that would knock you off yourself. And lock you in a world ...
