WHEN WILL SHE MARRY?

Image
Saeed Kamalu Bako Where is she going? Time is quite fast and she is becoming older by the day. Religion and tradition have inclined their dictates on her. She is now 20+ but still  flirting with them, knowing that they are "Yan amore". When will she fulfil the obligation designed on her by both religion and culture. Who will then propose, since she has eliminate focus? But the question that remain vague is when is she going to settle down? Her dream seems uncertain. Having a handsome and God fearing husband, living in a good and mighty mansion, surrounded by little adorable kids, living a happier and worth siting example life... But can't she see that she is now turning to sugar Mummy? What of the dream of loving to be called with all the "honey like" names? At last, she preached to herself, and the last was to be good. Let her have him, let the love of her life come to her before it becomes too late. Let her be herself, so as to actualize her drea...

I am the north not the North

Image
I am the north whose daily headlines are casted with blood I no more answered the peaceful north of  Sardauna and Tafawa Balewa I am the helpless whose leaders forsake for long And allow me heal my wounds alone I am the north with numbers for winning elections And targeted to be reduced after elections. I am the north of Mass burials Whose corpses are fleshes scattered I am the north, the epicenter of the N In me, Sporadic gunshots becomes normal. I am the north not the North I am the north who lives in Nigeria A place that mourns for a foreign corpse and pretend not to see mine I am the north with no means of communication to portray my reputation I am killed with my son at the Roof top unshaken The bleeds of the north is the bleeds of the North And the bleeds of the North is my bleeds #kamsonality #NortthernLivesMatter

Why we need better husbands in our societies.

Image
Saeed kamalu Bako Family as an agent of socialization has helped a lot in nurturing better wives for there Husbands but has also failed mostly in creating better husbands in our society. Family attached too much importance in bringing up better wife than a Husband. You will here things like " gwara ki koya girki Dan gidan wani zaki" , " haka zakiyi in kinje gidan mutane ko" , " kefa uwar wasu ce nan bada dadewa ba" the parents must especially mother try by all means to teach her on how to be good , forgetting that she has a boy that will one day equally turn to be a husband. Why won't she then taught him how he can handle someone's daughter?  Culture make it to be the responsibility of the father, what then do you expect from someone who was not taught on how to do it to teach someone how to do it?  Why should I talk on this ? Through out the week i heard cases that has to do with domestic violence but most of them were the fault of the Husbands . ...

Where I live

Image
By Saeed kamalu Bako Below us is aggression above us is oppression below the low is temptation above the top is mutilation. We live in a den with lions  where humans eat humans it seems to be in a nest with no egg but feathers of different colours. We are here and yet still there they search us where we are not but we saw them when they arrived. We've seen us while we were away but still in us is we fully aware of the death tomorrow and yesterday is for them today is ours and we chose to live it for good.

I am the 21st century journalist

Image
By Saeed Kamalu Bako I am the 21st century journalist I want to write with my heart not my hands I want to write with my heart not my brain For heart can be sympathetic And my hands could be influenced by subjectivity My brain could be influenced by pride. I want to write in a stream of consciousness My pen to put down a policy inclusive The piece will then touch all and not faulty Let me  proffer solution to all I see which is a menace Let me be the mouthpiece of the voiceless. They call me journalist of the 21st century That who is known for lies and subjectivity The harbinger of fake news so they named me With me they feel unsecured and unprotected. Is this me? So I asked uncountably I, I mean we are much more than a ready to change the narrative We will shape the  narrative that will change the media That media which at the end will change minds and then change the society And then freedom of speech will precede the well being of my hearthstone. I pledge to be the bringer ...

My valentine twilight

Image
 Was that the era of psyche reorientation? The past was my era of uncertain promiscuity Asking question on who was she  And when will she come to the fore? Was there something fishy when I shunned that fantasy? I saw myself in a Bermuda triangle, Protected by tri giant walls Behind those giant walls lies the ice princess I felt like dancing into the atmosphere Where I can get courage from the Angels  The ones i perceived they can be of help. Was it the theory of magic or luck?  So I asked myself. When I approached her I asked of my timidity Which seemed bio ethical. I feel like dancing into the atmosphere But still I made the man in me And recalled that everything is fair in love and war. The wind echoed her voice With it right hand  My ears was no longer in a vacuum state As it breaks the shield between me and my dream She was the star in my dream But I couldn't figure out the presence of a tale as in those dreams  So I named it my era of romance. Surround...
