ABIKU by J.P Clarke
Coming and going these several seasons,
Do stay out of the baobab tree,
Follow where you please your kindred spirits,

ABIKU by Wole Soyinka
In vain your bangles cast,
Charmed circles at my feet;
I am Abiku, calling for the first,
And the repeated time.
Must I weep for goats and cowries,
For palm oil and the sprinkled ash?
Yams do not sprout in amulets,
To earth Abiku's limbs.

Ladi Kwali by Seun Lari Williams
Ladi Kwali was a potter,
In case you do not know this,
She’s on the twenty naira note,
In case you never noticed.
In case you do not know this,
She’s on the twenty naira note,
In case you never noticed.

Suli Breaks - I Will Not Let An Exam Result Decide My Fate
Right
now,
There
is a kid finishing parents' evening in a heated discussion with his mother.
Saying,
why does he have to study subjects he will never ever use in his life?
And
she will look at him blank eyed, stifle a sigh, think for a second and then lie.
SULI BREAKS - Why I Hate School But Love Education
So you want to get a degree. Why?
Let me tell you what society will tell you:
“It increases your chances of getting a job.
Provides you with an opportunity of being successful.
Your life will be a lot less stressful, education, is the key.”
“It increases your chances of getting a job.
Provides you with an opportunity of being successful.
Your life will be a lot less stressful, education, is the key.”

Our First Kiss by Blessing Iyamadiken
I turn away,
I want to tell him,
Everything,
About how he makes me shy,
How he leaves me breathless,
Holding my hands,
He draws me in,
