mikuz: 2go


There's one fact we all know/
About the social evil called 2go/
Is that never let the app/
Attract so much attention from your Nokia, Blackberry or Samsung tab/
Or just leave it alone/
And dont put it on your phone/
90% of Nigerian Juveniles/
Have it as one of their files/
They chat,type and flirt/
Until their fingers hurt/
Months back,we all saw with our eyes/
How a certain girl was raped by a group of guys/
They add,share and send/
All sort of pics,till it becomes addictive at the end/
Till they turn dumb and/
Daft with all the pathetic abbrievations and short hand/
We know it gives them the sense/
Of socialising and keeps them close to friends/
Each time the house gets boring/
They open it and log in/
But have you ever paused/
To review what disaster it has caused/
To sit and listen/
To how shallow the young ones now reason/
It kills dexterity and the ability/
To be creative and subsides the brain's agility/
It turns the smart to a blockhead/
And corrupts the innocent instead/
They waste away their youthful age/
Chatting away crap and garbage/
Before this monster was brought/
They used to read alot/
They used the school libraries and read and read and read/
Have you forgetten 'NO Longer at Ease and 'Sinzwe Banzi is Dead'/
They had shelves that glitter/
With books like 'Eze Goes to School' plus 'Chike and the River'/
We never took classes for a fluke/
When exams came,you hardly see us without a book/
We read plays and tales of all sort/
Tortoise and kings and the number of wives they got/
'Hamlet' and 'Tess of the Dubervilles' our study rooms had/
'Joys of 'Motherhood' and 'The Bottled Leopard'/
We also read 'Robinson Crusoe' ,then 'Abiku' was the poem/
What about Soyinka's 'Lion and the Jewel/
We read of 'Doctor Faustus' and Chinua's 'Arrow of God' was a treasure/
J.P Clark, Elechi Amadi educated, plus reading plays from Ola Rotimi was too much pleasure/
Haba !! Did you forget Obasanjo's 'My Command' ah!/
Back then in SS1 we all loved Gabriel Okara/
The younger read 'Ali and Simbi'/
'Jack and Jill' got us singing - simply/
We read about Abgo and Wakama/
'Violence', 'West African Verse','Without a Silver spoon' and 'Anthills of the Savannah'/
'Lamb Tales from Shakespear' was bought by a few/
But what lovely books back then we knew/
But it's so late, so start/
By deleting your 2go chat/
And use the space it took/
And install an e-book/
Download books,books,books,from pdfs to quotes from Aristotle/
You can get help from Amazon or google/
At first your peers will laugh at you/
But then give them a month or two/
They'll come back to seek/
How you managed to get to the peak/
They'll be so pained/
At the mass of knowlege they should have gained/
They'll see the darkness they've been in/
Having 2go on their phone sreen/

mikuz: True.
The advent of the so called 'socialization' and the incidence of mass failures that has been recorded in national exams in recent times no be coincedence. Imagine, NL is having a peotry contest and the thread is as dry as Cuddlemii

Title: You make me whole


You make me laugh when I feel like crying,
You make me live when I want to die,
You make me smile when I want to frown,
You make me see the bright side of life
Believe in me when no one else does
You’re my now, my is, my was.
You make me whole with your broad smile
I'm afraid Nlanders notice I need you so much.
When I'm with you my world moves faster.
It's like the present is the past.
I need you more than you can believe,
Your love make me believe in myself
Love you more than you can conceive.
Think about you every second of the day,
And hope my life can stay this way
I don't want it to be any other way.
Wish I can bring the moon and the sun to your doorstep to show Nlanders what you mean to me
There is no me without you,
'Cos you make me whole
