Inducting


Today I get my MBBS
After studying for years
Amidst many sleepless nights
And late night hunger cramps
For a 270 units medical course

Anatomy taught us bones structure
Physiology emphasis on body function
Medicine is a course of high honour
After going through some hard torture
With no rest like a day old fetus

My colleagues will be my family
Our struggles will be my memory
Which are well carved in my diary
Our love to heal is till eternity
Caring for ourselves with no hard feelings

We place our teachers in high esteem
Who took us as child and not as apprentices
From class to personal life teachings
To be doctors with good clinical skills
In px management and not just history taking

All of the teachings we highly appreciate
May we never be an ingrate
May we observe the teachings of hippocrates
Our fore father in medicine who is late
May you go higher without delay

My heart sober
My brain tells it not to bother
My colleagues who we ain't now together
Pls keep fighting cos you are soldier
We pray you all ace in life endeavours

Unilorin is now my alma mater
Since I joined the association of alumni
Of a school that is better by far
That taught us learning and character
Like salt in stew, it makes our life better

May my legs lead me home
When I get lost abode
On the journey of no return
Under circumstances with zero reform
It's not byebye but see you again.

APONBEPORE...an encounter

Episode One - By Acetyl APONBEPORE is a yoruba pynegyry which literally means a lady whose complexion looks like the colour of palm oil; mostly used for a beauty. Left to me and some other active guys, our sense of visions are used in stylishly assessing the beauty of anything that passes satisfying our limbic system of emotions. It was on a very busy Monday morning when the school just began a new academic session. As freshers, we were seated calmly at the 200- seater geology lecture theatre (GLT) awaiting the arrival of Mrs Okorie - an old, persuasive, English lecturer in her late 50s who always used half of the time to call attendance and the other half to make us read from the GNS textbook. After few minutes before the arrival of the lecturer, a young lady in her 20s walked in through the main door which was just at my 10 o' clock. What a beauty to be amazed, it left me looking skeptical wondering if such being had ever been created. She represented a perfect icon ...

NOTHING SPOIL...

They beef while I smile When I laugh, they bleed At the end of it Nothing spoil My presence, an headache  My movement, a migraine  When I joke,  they cry  Nothing spoil In a corner, they meet To gist and backbite About why I progress  But nothing spoil  When you hate, I know Even if it doesn't show Pls don't stop hating  Cos I get motivated  I may not be handsome But I'm cool I may not be gentle  But I'm caring I may not be stuffy  But very well loaded I mean very well Cos nothing spoil I'm not bothered but bored That's why I put down some words In case it may serve as record                            After all nothing spoil

Ìlorin Ni

Ìlorin Ni The age long emirate dynasty Founded on a land sparse and arid By Ojo, a renowned blacksmith With few houses and lovely people Ìlorin Ni Emirate is our kinsghip title Al Qur'an is our foremost treasury  Studying and committing it to memory And Tirahs with different life meanings Ìlorin Ni A place not too close to the desert But the sun scotch and hit us hard A place not too close to the water beds But when it rains, it brings blessings forth Ìlorin Ni Our ancient houses are made of mud From little water mixed with mother earth As defence against intruders' gun shots During inter racial conflicts and several wars Ìlorin Ni Where everyone lives as one family We are not just nice, but very lovely With strangers finding us very accommodating Our women are nice and our foods are treaty Ìlorin Ni Our last kobo can be spent on party  Every weekend, someone must get married This, we value and keep its sweet memory As one of the few treasures which we cherish Ìlor...
