2024 Elections And the Rise POPULISM.

In Europe and America, the rise of POPULISM is spreading like wildfire. President Trump rode on this wave to get him elected in 2016, constantly attacking the establishment and feeding off widespread discontent of the people, the high level of unemployment, high immigration rates, and the dislike of the ruling establishment.  These issues formed the central theme and the policies on which he ran his campaign in 2016, promising his base big changes in these areas, some of which were his obsession with erecting a wall over the Mexican border,  his constant attack on Obamacare, the Paris climate accord, and the Iran deal.... And he didn't renege on those promises.  In his first week in the Oval Office, he pulled the U.S. out of the Iran deal, successfully dismantled key parts of Obamacare, and withdrew the U.S. from the Paris climate accord with 150 signatory countries. Just like President Trump, in 2015  President Buhari rode on the same wave of POPULISM to get him...

Africa: A POEM

Africa, so replete with many Yet so poor. For so long, those whose chains bound her have long left her shores But yet in chains she bind herself. Those chosen to represent her now eat Alone in a bowl  in cliques. Her leaders intoxicated by power never let go Sniffing lives out of any who dare oppose And so the people became slaves in their homes. Africa for once we all pointed fingers at the colonials.. Saying in one accord let them leave. Gone they all left But now we are worst than they left us In colonialism our children had jobs, Now with power our children are jobless For isn't power more useful in the hands of the Oppressor? Why do we chose to betray the very tenant which we fought to be free Sadly, like the Israelites in the wilderness We ask our moses why has thou brought us out of Egypt to die in the wilderness??        With so much, yet very little to eat         Africa her people, her ...

Sleep

In your palm I rest For safe you keep Away from my troubles In your abode my worries lay dead till I wake of course. My anguish vague in your presence Like an octopus, in safety your tentacles wraps me, so assured. Daze and Dazzle I rest in your fantasy Away from blaring horn of cars, Hordes of foot steps, my ears becomes deaf in pleasure.. Sleep, carries  me like a child in her mother's womb, protected from the world. But eager to deliver me to world For perhaps we are only guest in sleep home, for any delay  stay leads to death. You bring comfort when weary, In your palace everyone is a king, Free to dream no limit no obstacles For even Kings and laird can become servants and the other master in sleep For the poor can ride on horse's The limped can run, The crippled can walk.

"lessiful"

The privileged few sits, merry With fist clinched, mouth's filled. They Held on tight to plenty . Devoid of provident The poor Loafers Soonest Mirth turned sorrow But the early morning sun rose Bringing gay and brisk and soon, gaiety returned But the dark nights still harbours, vague terror One that overshadows the moonlight. From cock crow to dusk, They till the soil, but sadly during harvest they reap nothing. For a weakening soil those not reap well Neither does a lazy man reap bountiful But those who sow yam at the first rain, And weed at its tendrils reaps well, In grim the lazy struggle, small they reap. Alas!! The hunter as returned Sadly though empty handed For even his tricks doesn't lay sway the animals knoweth it all.
