TRIBUTE TO MY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND STREET BROTHERS WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY

 TRIBUTE TO MY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND STREET BROTHERS WHO HAVE PASSED AWAY. Some memories cannot be easily forgotten; I dearly miss the good times I had with wonderful people who are now laid to rest. Truly, death is inevitable, but why does Alimitu (death) fail to recognize the impact of good people and spare them to live longer? Growing up in Ejigbo town some years ago, I felt like the good people I was surrounded by would live on forever.  However, many of them have departed from this world, and death has not granted my plea on their behalf. Sadly, most of my street brothers in Lagos State have also fallen victim to this relentless force of death.  Nevertheless, we cannot evade mortality. Looking back, I remember these individuals for their contributions to my personal growth. I thank you all; you are legends and will forever be remembered. May your souls rest in peace.

The Attorney General of The Planet (1)

By: Abidoye Ayobami The Journey has started, people are ready and alert to learn about the "Attorney General of the Planet”. I take a bow and invite untampered recognition to the source and the elders. The journey will be littered with drama, it will awaken your conscience with truth. The bomb is going to explode while the judges prepare the case file. The iconic scenario now galvanized to unveil 'oga patapata' meaning the main act of the show. It’s a public disgrace to grow without career, ambitions, focus, mission, and dreams. I ask you, "Why do you live?” When the words "Advanced World" hit me, I will begin to cry like an eight-month old child looking for the breast milk to suck, maybe that will heal the emotions at this point in time. Low and behold! It was just a stressful night for me, dancing like a happy antelope "eworo”. The opportunity to know the biggest city has come. I think Lagos is not part of the Zoo where we reside today. "Enu mi a
