AS IT THEN WAS. By SamGeorgeH2o

Oh! thee rich and fertile land
Embellished with green pastures and milk
Languishing in the hands of the doom agents
Seeking aid from the pallbearer
Hoping to be revive from a massive holocaust.
Oh! thee which had been raped and battered
Stripped off her dignity and pride
In her prime when it ought to be salvaged
But led to the fortune of the framers
Sidelining the labourers and the land itself.
Oh! thee land striving to speak its own language
In disguise of paring the crops and the soil
In more than five decades of nepotism and tribalism
which makes the sky autonomy for its rain
And the soil holding conference on its nutrients.
Oh! thee rich and fertile land
Embellished with crops and crude oil
Languishing in the hands of bad leaders
Seeking aid from the imperialist
Hoping to be revive from her economic recession.

RIGHTS OF AN ACCUSED PERSON UNDER THE CONSTITUTION OF THE FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA

The constitution of federal republic of Nigeria, 1999 as amended, provides some measures for trial in criminal cases. These measures are in attempt to give constitutional sanctity, which is fair trial and natural justice.   However, the grundnorn by its special nature provides for pre-trial rights, trial rights as well as post trial rights [1] . These rights are very crucial in a trial both in civil and criminal proceedings. These rights include: Right to life [2]   The right to life is considered as one of the crucial human right as it is deemed the supreme human right and a foundation for other human rights, as none of the other rights would have any value or utility without it. If a man has no life, there is nothing left to human dignity, fair hearing, and the protection of human rights cannot be achieved without respect for the right to life. Thus, the protection of the life is therefore, an essential pre-requisite to the full enjoyment of all other human righ...

THE ISSUE OF REINCARNATION, AKUDAYA: A MYTH OR REALITY. By Sam George

The issue of Reincarnation, Akudaya: A Myth or a Reality? Iya ibeji was a popular Ewa Agoyin seller in the whole of Brown street. She got her fame in the street when she moved from selling ofada rice to Beans. No okada driver or bus driver would pass by iya Ibeji's shop without dashing to eat Ewa Agoyin and Bread. The customers in her shop are always massive just as if the shop is a praying ground. The rate at which the people in the locale patronises her shop is akin to how the pilgrims visit the Holy Land. After my secondary school education, I left Ekiti State to settle down in Lagos with our elderst brother. After my first week in Lagos, I decided to familiarize myself with my new environment. After walking a few miles, then I saw the shop of the infamous Iya ibeji. I dashed to the shop just to get my favorite food "Bread and Beans". On getting there, I saw iya Basira; a woman with three kids who died in an auto crash accident along with her husband some years ago. ...

DO THE SOOTHSAYER STILL FORESEE THE FUTURE OF A NEWLY BORN CHILD? “AKOSEJAYE” By Samson George

  I was so curious about this, when I saw Fatai. Fatai happens to be a child that was born in the mid-90s into the family that is not too rich and not too poor. His father works with Nestle while his mother sells food provisions in bulk. Thus I can only affiliate their standard to that of the middle class.   Fatai is the fourth child in the family of five. After the birth of Fatai, he was taken to the soothsayer for him to foretell his future. The soothsayer told his parents that Fatai would be great in life; he will be a leader among his peers, dominate them and rule them. The soothsayer went further by telling his father that the birth of Fatai would bring so many good things to the family, the he; the father would never lack anything good till the rest of his life. It was also foreseen that Fatai would be a man whom everyone will be looking up to. A lot of good things were said about Fatai that very day.   His naming ceremony was a big party, two cows was slau...
