51 AND STILL COUNTING

FOR HALF A CENTURY................

We have embarked on a journey
A voyage to write our own story
Blessed by the best of atmospheric conditions
We were forged in the best of moral traditions

We have stood as one despite our diversity
And shown the world, class in our simplicity
We have been made the nation of choice
For Africa’s trigger and her resounding voice

DEAR UNBORN CHILD

Its been like 7 whole months since I updated my blog, that feels like a life time. One would expect that after all this hibernation, I would come up with a bang or something bizarre. Soon, they'll come but I was going through my old stuff when I stumbled on something I wrote 8 years ago one lonely birthday evening....Now I'm smiling reading it.....Hope u enjoy it too.....And Expect more from this day on......

MY NIGERIA 50- GREAT SONGS----Since I was Born

Once again, I could n't help but think about Nigeria, our creativity over the years has been overwhelming especially in the last 5 years. The music industry has become a really money making sector and the competition keeps getting hotter. But we have a lot of the older folks to thank for that; who made music fun, educative and really entertaining. So I have put together my own little list of 50 songs I believe shook the Nigerian entertainment scene, since I was born. I know u may say how about this one and that one, I didn't forget them, I just had to stop at 50....You may agree or disagree, but one thing I am sure is that you will hum some tunes and smile and somewhere at the corner of ur mind; will be a little ounce of pride that you are a Nigerian.....

Catch ya......on the other side.

MY FAVORITE - 50 GREAT MEMORIES OF NIGERIA

Hi Out there, i knows really been a while since i wrote some thing for the internet audience, my apologies. Nigeria turns 50 in 2 days time, many media house will be running various documentaries and features on what makes Nigeria so great or the opposite. Anyways, in the spirit of the celebration, with a little push from the radio geeks at Keffi street, I have taken my mind on a magical journey of Nigeria and produced 50 of my greatest memories in Nigeria. Remember, its about how I feel, but feel free to reminisce and let me know your own memories; and if by any chance you don't find any memory what smiling, laughing, giggling, frowning or hissing about...then you are permitted to enjoy this flight as we fly Nigeria in the Ocharlyie mind airline.....Thanks.....

I'M A CHILD OF THE KING

My Father is rich in houses and lands;

He holdeth the wealth of the world in His hands!

Of rubies and diamonds, of silver and gold,

His coffers are full-He has riches untold.

WEAKER VESSELS STRONGER PORTS

How can a Woman be a weaker Vessel??

How can you call the carrier of the fetus for nine months weak

Do you describe the cleaner of a baby’s diaper as weak?

Do you call the one who brings a mighty man to his knees as weak?

The one who wakes up, when all are asleep

A SACRED DISH

A dish was prepared a long time ago

It’s purpose was well defined by it’s creator

It was to be served only on the tables of marriage

But it’s aroma found its way out

Into the world of wickedness and pain
