Meeting Seno, some years back in University of Uyo, I didn’t observe she had an enterprising mindset. Smart and taciturn, I… Continue reading Creative Baking: Senocreme
Tag: Uyo
There is a land full of life
Bubbling with greens and love
Swooshing trees thro the forests
To the foaming sea with its broth
A land filled with hills and valleys
With streams and the streams
There are blue clouds
And the birds surf the wind
Uyo cares, loves and welcomes
She is beautiful like Jerusalem
In the coldest and darkest of nights
A stream of neon lamps comes to sight
The ancient city of Ikot Ekpene
Standing on green fields, serene
The stars glitter quietly
The home of tranquility
There are smiling faces
Home with the days wage
And those nights of May
The love we see, we say
The nights are cold most times
The sea comes to woo her bride
They call here with Gods name
Akwa Abasi Ibom!
And at the end of each long day
The Sun travels on her way

This piece I dedicate to all my friends from Akwa Ibom state of Nigeria on the celebration of the 28th year of their states existence. Happy birthday Akwa Ibom state.
Abasi in the local dialect means God
Sharing is caring!
Thundering, Heavens clap
In might and strange call
We tremble, we watch
The crystal drops fall
Freezing winds flush about
The rain falls, uncaring The Heavens light, thunders nephew
Show his face, now and then
Sending chills down our spines
Everyone clasping their cheeks
Some minding not the dripping saliva
All waiting and watching With some enjoying the cold
Dreading the fearsome duo; the lightning and his
nephew
Sharing is caring!
