SKELETONS THAT WAVE GOODBYE

(A poem on the present situation in Nigeria)

By Ifemesia Iferenta (Furious Frank)

emilokan squats

and squeezes with ease

the very life

out of endangered skeletons

that rattle without synchrony

timidly aspiring

to humanhood claims

skeletons rattle across

the streets of chagrin

- skeletons that cringe from liberating laughters

skeletons that wear wizened masks

they deign to call “human faces”

yet the noose tightens

and tortures the fortitude

that now ebbs into a groan

squeezing out droplets of blood

that form little puddles

of muffled protests

at the calloused feet of emilokan

and many startled skeletons

wave goodbye

at the thresholds of eternity

and with sighs that seem to say

“it is finished, it is finished

Soludo: FROM "SOLUTION" TO "DISSOLUTION"

By Jude Ogechi Eze

This is actually a wrong time to author any write-up on executive Governor of Anambra state — His Excellency, Professor Chukwuma Soludo, since he's already enmeshed in a tussle, analogous to the ongoing Ukraine-Russia war, with the "Obidients." And so, it is necessary to raise a caveat, that this piece was formerly sketched to appraise Soludo's six months in office, before his needless assault on Peter Obi's probity and daylight disavowal of his presidential ambition.
