LIFE OF A LEADER
Head is head
Let tail not call unto his tailness
The mighty names of the Prestigious leading head
...
TALE OF A LOVER
This i must write to wipe off a
Tear off my thousand tears
To tell the world the the tale
...
Ajoke,
Sise Sise Was said to be Ilakose's
Ekuro was said to be the Alabaku of Ewa,
...
WHEN OF A NATION
When shall we smile again?
When shall tears cease rolling
in torrent down our face?
...
POISONED AFFECTION
For when the heart is
broken pieces it is
Hath thou suddenly forget thy promise?
...
BLEEDING HEART
Whose blood is this that waste
Like the water from a mistaken
Open tap?
...
THERE WAS A TIME
There was a time I fought the sun,
I looked unto it's face and spat on it
...
LOST IN HER WORLD
Besmirch my pride!
For we are lovebirds that shine.
...
OMOTOLANI
I have missed you before the moon,
The elegy of my Agbada fades after the noon.

ABIKE
Abike,
Aiyederu Ife was what Oko-ilu presumed
Wooing Aduuni alongside Modupe.
Orunmila evoked the spirit of asunder,
And matched us a perfect duo
For our love is the ordained Etutu
To restore peace in the land of Aboru.
Abike,
I have told Maami
Of how your love stung venom in my heart.
I told her the tales of Eleye-ile,
Of how Adaba lamented over his lost lover.
Let our love be the jealousy of the moon.
Abike,
Let play love for the ridicule of Akaani,
Let Amoke regret loosing me as her man,
Let the sun emit shame on Lalonpe,
Let Amope, Mo wipe Okunrin ni mi.
Tell it to the son of man,
Not to dare put asunder in our love.
Abike,
Iyami promised me a disown,
If I dare not wed you within Osupa-meta.
Baami promised to send me to Aba-apena,
If only you weren't there for me.
Abike,
Bless me with Isun and Iwale,
Nurture Omotaye with love
I will nurture Omokehinde with purity.
Let them grow to be Akinkaju,
For no Omo-akin will be a coward.
Abike,
Omo akulowuro ji lojolale,
Omo okin oloja eiye,
Omo o kan ilekun ba o ni ile ja,
Omo Oriade ti n sunkun ate.
Abike, Ife lakoda ofin,
Ife re womi lorun bi ewu,
Ife re n pami bi oti elemi meje,
Emi ni Alayinla re too to.
(To Abike With Love)

It dosen't matter who help you, What matter is who you help? ?
Realers Never Fake Fakers Are Never Real
If someone do you good for once, And he offends you three times, Dont be angerd, Look unto the good he did to you.
You are nothing if you are not up to anything
Most valuable things in life are visible
Help is assistance you get when you need it
If you don't come well you won't be welcome
Life Is A Loan We All Must Refund
Mistake Is A Teacher
All write are all right
Never Make Jest Of The Dead You Don't Know When And How Yur Death Will Come.
