Poetry

Full Circle

We are here my love together again
Back where we should have always been
Back where we were meant to be
Together as one just you and me

While we were apart it seemed so wrong
I longed for you my whole life long
I ached to be with you so very much
To hear your voice to feel your touch

And now at last we've met once more
In love again as we were before
More in love than we could have ever supposed
Together again life's circle closed.

Pork scriptures

Pork: Scriptures, Symbolisms and Sicknesses!

The baseline is not how swines are being kept under strictly hygienic conditions in other parts of the world. The baseline is 

1. What do the major Scriptures say about swines?

2. The symbolic representation of swines in the society. How the swine does behave on its own?

3. What are the practical risks of consuming pork?

SCRIPTURES

The Bible:

“And the swine, because it divideth the hoof, yet cheweth not the cud, it is unclean unto you. Ye shall not eat of their flesh, nor touch their dead carcass.” [Deuteronomy 14:8]

2. I have stretched out My hands all day long to a rebellious people, Who walk in a way that is not good, According to their own thoughts; 3. A people who provoke Me to anger continually to My face; Who sacrifice in gardens, And burn incense on altars of brick; 4. Who sit among the graves, And spend the night in the tombs; Who eat swine’s flesh, And the broth of abominable things is in their vessels; [Isaiah 65:2-4]

"And the swine, though he divide the hoof, and be cloven-footed, yet he cheweth not the cud; he is unclean to you. Of their flesh shall ye not eat, and of their carcase shall ye not touch; they are unclean to you." Leviticus 11:7-8 KJV

The Quran:

Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked a name other than that of Allah. [Al-Qur’an 5:3] The above verses of the Holy Qur’an are sufficient to satisfy a Muslim as to why pork is forbidden.

The Qur’an prohibits the consumption of pork in no less than 4 different places. Its prohibited in 2:173, 5:3, 6:145 and 16:115.

SYMBOLISMS

The pig is a symbol of filth, greed and idiocy. It eats faeces and dead bodies, snouts gutter water, wallows in sheer sordidness and a shameless animal which will invite its mate for sex bout. Pork consuming friends and families do share wives as well. George Orwell's "Animal Farm" has a better symbolic representation of pigs (swines).

SICKNESSES

As a Science student I am wary that most farm animals are carriers/hosts/vectors of varying pathogens, parasites and diseases. Even beef, the widely untaboo meat is a good carrier of the deadly anthrax and tape worm. However, the pig is guilty of most known, unknown and emerging disease-causing processes.

99% of helminthiasis, worms infestations is caused by pork (you can debate me on that) including round worms (Ascaris), pinworms, hookworm and the most dangerous Taenia solinum (a type of tape worm).  Even, well cooked pork still carries viable worms that are injurious to the system. Eight out of ten is likely to be infested after consuming well-cooked pork.

Taenia solinum for instance has the destructive capability to migrate to any organ in the body:

·         In the brain, you lose your memory,

·         Blindness at the eyes,

·         Deadly at liver (the liver is the most important organ in the body with over 500 known functions),

·         In the heart, you can be rest assured of cardiovascular torments

The emergence of Swine flu was rippling and deadly and nearly almost half of the world’s pig population was decimated. According to the Pet Doc Chart of zoonotic diseases, the diseases from pigs are nearly double of that of goats, sheep and cattle combined.

Pork has large amounts of saturated lipids (fats). Every health science student understands that most heart, blood, blood-vessel diseases are importantly caused by animal fat. Notably among these diseases include hypertension, atherosclerosis, stroke and heart attack.

In countries where religion is practised like democracy with little or no food taboos, there is high prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. More than 50% percent of Americans have hypertension, the commonest cardiovascular disease. The CDC and America Heart Association have related this phenomenon to unrestrained consumption of “High-fat cuts of meat”. As a matter of fact, pork is richly generous with fat – no other meat can challenge pork in terms of fat.

Let's stop the needless diplomacy over pork and other technical jargons that sought to justify pork. This afore-expatiated trinity is enough of a reason!

Just trying to help you choose a healthy meat for your meals!

Inefficient power supply in Tamale Ghana

The inefficient power supply.

Since 3 days back, lights have been going off frequently. Say from 7:00 in the morning to 5:00 in the evening. Reasons stated are not clear. These power outages have caused nothing but great distress from all corners of the country. A lot of chaos is arising everywhere. People can no longer turn on fridges or other stuffs. People wake up from their sleeps covered in sweat like they never bathed.

These power outages are becoming outrageous and if nothing fast is done about it, we will all break down. Machines have broken down and so many other things are happening. Some serious deliberations should be done in other to avoid serious deadly consequences.   

How an owl sees at night

Of all an Owl's features, perhaps the most striking is its eyes. Large and forward facing, they may account for one to five percent of the Owl's body weight, depending on species. The forward facing aspect of the eyes that give an Owl its "wise" appearance, also give it a wide range of "binocular" vision (seeing an object with both eyes at the same time). This means the owl can see objects in 3 dimensions (height, width, and depth), and can judge distances in a similar way to humans. The field of view for an owl is about 110 degrees, with about 70 degrees being binocular vision.

By comparison, humans have a field of view that covers 180 degrees, with 140 degrees being binocular. A woodcock has an amazing 360 degree field of view, because its eyes are on the side of its head. However, less than 10 degrees of this is binocular.

An Owl's eyes are large in order to improve their efficiency, especially under low light conditions. In fact, the eyes are so well developed, that they are not eye balls as such, but elongated tubes. They are held in place by bony structures in the skull called Sclerotic rings. For this reason, an Owl cannot "roll" or move its eyes - that is, it can only look straight ahead!
The Owl more than makes up for this by being able to turn its head up to 270 degrees left or right from the forward facing position, and almost upside down. There are several adaptations that allow this, outlined in the Owl Skeletal system article.

Cross-section of an Owl's Eye

As most owls are active at night, their eyes must be very efficient at collecting and processing light. This starts with a largecornea (the transparent outer coating of the eye) and pupil (the opening at the centre of the eye). The pupil's size is controlled by the iris (the coloured membrane suspended between the cornea and lens). When the pupil is larger, more light passes through the lens and onto the large retina (light sensitive tissue on which the image is formed).
The retina of an owl's eye has an abundance of light-sensitive, rod-shaped cells appropriately called "rod" cells. Although these cells are very sensitive to light and movement, they do not react well to colour. Cells that do react to colour are called "cone" cells (shaped like a cone), and an Owl's eye possesses few of these, so most Owls see in limited colour or in monochrome.
Since Owls have extraordinary night vision, it is often thought that they are blind in strong light. This is not true, because their pupils have a wide range of adjustment, allowing the right amount of light to strike the retina. Some species of Owls can actually see better than humans in bright light.

To protect their eyes, Owls are equipped with 3 eyelids. They have a normal upper and lower eyelid, the upper closing when the owl blinks, and the lower closing up when the Owl is asleep. The third eyelid is called a nictitating membrane, and is a thin layer of tissue that closes diagonally across the eye, from the inside to the outside. This cleans and protects the surface of the eye.

During a teacher's class. This is what the teacher(confidence) endures

In the course of my speech, a term eludes me and I used the word "whatchamacallit". Everyone burst into laughter whiles repeating the word "whatchamacallit". I knew what they thought. I asked, "where from the laughter?". "Whatchamacallit", one of them in uncontrollable laughter repeated the word again! I waited patiently for the outburst to wane.

I requested for a dictionary. I was handed one of the thumb index series. In a split of a second I was there: WHATCHAMACALLIT. I gave it to one of them to read. It reads: 

"Whatchamacallit - used to refer to a person or thing whose name one cannot recall, does not know, or does not wish to specify." 

Examples: 
1. John and whatchamacallit were here for dinner. (The second person's name cannot be recalled or forgotten). 
2. You left your whatchamacallit on the table. (The speaker may not know the name of the item). 
3. The leader of the opposition party, whatchamacallit lost the elections convincingly. (The speaker does not want to specify the name). 

The word sounds funny and appears more like a tongue-twister. So, pardon listeners if they burst into laughter in the course of using WHATCHAMACALLIT. It synonyms sound funny as well: They include dingus, thingamabob, thingamajig etc

Barack Obama's Victory Speech 2012


Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. (Sustained cheers, applause.)

Tonight, more than 200 years after a former colony won the right to determine its own destiny, the task of perfecting our union moves forward. (Cheers, applause.)

It moves forward because of you. It moves forward because you reaffirmed the spirit that has triumphed over war and depression, the spirit that has lifted this country from the depths of despair to the great heights of hope, the belief that while each of us will pursue our own individual dreams, we are an American family, and we rise or fall together as one nation and as one people. (Cheers, applause.)

Tonight, in this election, you, the American people, reminded us that while our road has been hard, while our journey has been long, we have picked ourselves up, we have fought our way back, and we know in our hearts that for the United States of America, the best is yet to come.

(Cheers, applause.) I want to thank every American who participated in this election. (Cheers, applause.) Whether you voted for the very first time (cheers) or waited in line for a very long time (cheers) – by the way, we have to fix that – (cheers, applause) – whether you pounded the pavement or picked up the phone (cheers, applause), whether you held an Obama sign or a Romney sign, you made your voice heard and you made a difference. (Cheers, applause.)

I just spoke with Governor Romney and I congratulated him and Paul Ryan on a hard-fought campaign. (Cheers, applause.) We may have battled fiercely, but it's only because we love this country deeply and we care so strongly about its future. From George to Lenore to their son Mitt, the Romney family has chosen to give back to America through public service. And that is a legacy that we honour and applaud tonight. (Cheers, applause.) In the weeks ahead, I also look forward to sitting down with Governor Romney to talk about where we can work together to move this country forward.

(Cheers, applause.)

I want to thank my friend and partner of the last four years, America's happy warrior, the best vice-president anybody could ever hope for, Joe Biden. (Cheers, applause.)

And I wouldn't be the man I am today without the woman who agreed to marry me 20 years ago. (Cheers, applause.) Let me say this publicly. Michelle, I have never loved you more. (Cheers, applause.) I have never been prouder to watch the rest of America fall in love with you too as our nation's first lady. (Cheers, applause.)

Sasha and Malia – (cheers, applause) – before our very eyes, you're growing up to become two strong, smart, beautiful young women, just like your mom. (Cheers, applause.) And I am so proud of you guys. But I will say that, for now, one dog's probably enough. (Laughter.)

To the best campaign team and volunteers in the history of politics – (cheers, applause) – the best – the best ever – (cheers, applause) – some of you were new this time around, and some of you have been at my side since the very beginning.

(Cheers, applause.) But all of you are family. No matter what you do or where you go from here, you will carry the memory of the history we made together. (Cheers, applause.) And you will have the lifelong appreciation of a grateful president. Thank you for believing all the way – (cheers, applause) – to every hill, to every valley. (Cheers, applause.) You lifted me up the whole day, and I will always be grateful for everything that you've done and all the incredible work that you've put in. (Cheers, applause.)

I know that political campaigns can sometimes seem small, even silly. And that provides plenty of fodder for the cynics who tell us that politics is nothing more than a contest of egos or the domain of special interests. But if you ever get the chance to talk to folks who turned out at our rallies and crowded along a rope line in a high school gym or – or saw folks working late at a campaign office in some tiny county far away from home, you'll discover something else.

You'll hear the determination in the voice of a young field organiser who's working his way through college and wants to make sure every child has that same opportunity. (Cheers, applause.) You'll hear the pride in the voice of a volunteer who's going door to door because her brother was finally hired when the local auto plant added another shift. (Cheers, applause.)

You'll hear the deep patriotism in the voice of a military spouse who's working the phones late at night to make sure that no one who fights for this country ever has to fight for a job or a roof over their head when they come home. (Cheers, applause.)

That's why we do this. That's what politics can be. That's why elections matter. It's not small, it's big. It's important. Democracy in a nation of 300 million can be noisy and messy and complicated. We have our own opinions. Each of us has deeply held beliefs. And when we go through tough times, when we make big decisions as a country, it necessarily stirs passions, stirs up controversy. That won't change after tonight. And it shouldn't. These arguments we have are a mark of our liberty, and we can never forget that as we speak, people in distant nations are risking their lives right now just for a chance to argue about the issues that matter – (cheers, applause) – the chance to cast their ballots like we did today.

But despite all our differences, most of us share certain hopes for America's future.

We want our kids to grow up in a country where they have access to the best schools and the best teachers – (cheers, applause) – a country that lives up to its legacy as the global leader in technology and discovery and innovation – (scattered cheers, applause) – with all of the good jobs and new businesses that follow.

We want our children to live in an America that isn't burdened by debt, that isn't weakened up by inequality, that isn't threatened by the destructive power of a warming planet. (Cheers, applause.)

We want to pass on a country that's safe and respected and admired around the world, a nation that is defended by the strongest military on Earth and the best troops this – this world has ever known – (cheers, applause) – but also a country that moves with confidence beyond this time of war to shape a peace that is built on the promise of freedom and dignity for every human being.

We believe in a generous America, in a compassionate America, in a tolerant America open to the dreams of an immigrant's daughter who studies in our schools and pledges to our flag – (cheers, applause) – to the young boy on the south side of Chicago who sees a life beyond the nearest street corner – (cheers, applause) – to the furniture worker's child in North Carolina who wants to become a doctor or a scientist, an engineer or an entrepreneur, a diplomat or even a president.

That's the – (cheers, applause) – that's the future we hope for.

(Cheers, applause.) That's the vision we share. That's where we need to go – forward. (Cheers, applause.) That's where we need to go. (Cheers, applause.)

Now, we will disagree, sometimes fiercely, about how to get there. As it has for more than two centuries, progress will come in fits and starts. It's not always a straight line. It's not always a smooth path. By itself, the recognition that we have common hopes and dreams won't end all the gridlock, resolve all our problems or substitute for the painstaking work of building consensus and making the difficult compromises needed to move this country forward.

But that common bond is where we must begin. Our economy is recovering. A decade of war is ending. (Cheers, applause.) A long campaign is now over. (Cheers, applause.) And whether I earned your vote or not, I have listened to you. I have learned from you. And you've made me a better president. And with your stories and your struggles, I return to the White House more determined and more inspired than ever about the work there is to do and the future that lies ahead. (Cheers, applause.)

Tonight you voted for action, not politics as usual. (Cheers, applause.) You elected us to focus on your jobs, not ours.

And in the coming weeks and months, I am looking forward to reaching out and working with leaders of both parties to meet the challenges we can only solve together – reducing our deficit, reforming our tax code, fixing our immigration system, freeing ourselves from foreign oil. We've got more work to do. (Cheers, applause.)

But that doesn't mean your work is done. The role of citizens in our democracy does not end with your vote. America's never been about what can be done for us; it's about what can be done by us together, through the hard and frustrating but necessary work of self-government. (Cheers, applause.) That's the principle we were founded on.

This country has more wealth than any nation, but that's not what makes us rich. We have the most powerful military in history, but that's not what makes us strong. Our university, our culture are all the envy of the world, but that's not what keeps the world coming to our shores. What makes America exceptional are the bonds that hold together the most diverse nation on Earth, the belief that our destiny is shared – (cheers, applause) – that this country only works when we accept certain obligations to one another and to future generations, so that the freedom which so many Americans have fought for and died for come with responsibilities as well as rights, and among those are love and charity and duty and patriotism. That's what makes America great. (Cheers, applause.)

I am hopeful tonight because I have seen this spirit at work in America. I've seen it in the family business whose owners would rather cut their own pay than lay off their neighbours and in the workers who would rather cut back their hours than see a friend lose a job. I've seen it in the soldiers who re-enlist after losing a limb and in those Seals who charged up the stairs into darkness and danger because they knew there was a buddy behind them watching their back. (Cheers, applause.) I've seen it on the shores of New Jersey and New York, where leaders from every party and level of government have swept aside their differences to help a community rebuild from the wreckage of a terrible storm. (Cheers, applause.)

And I saw it just the other day in Mentor, Ohio, where a father told the story of his eight-year-old daughter whose long battle with leukaemia nearly cost their family everything had it not been for healthcare reform passing just a few months before the insurance company was about to stop paying for her care. (Cheers, applause.) I had an opportunity to not just talk to the father but meet this incredible daughter of his. And when he spoke to the crowd, listening to that father's story, every parent in that room had tears in their eyes because we knew that little girl could be our own.

And I know that every American wants her future to be just as bright. That's who we are. That's the country I'm so proud to lead as your president. (Cheers, applause.)

And tonight, despite all the hardship we've been through, despite all the frustrations of Washington, I've never been more hopeful about our future. (Cheers, applause.) I have never been more hopeful about America. And I ask you to sustain that hope.

[Audience member: "We got your back, Mr President!"]

I'm not talking about blind optimism, the kind of hope that just ignores the enormity of the tasks ahead or the road blocks that stand in our path. I'm not talking about the wishful idealism that allows us to just sit on the sidelines or shirk from a fight. I have always believed that hope is that stubborn thing inside us that insists, despite all the evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us so long as we have the courage to keep reaching, to keep working, to keep fighting. (Cheers, applause.)

America, I believe we can build on the progress we've made and continue to fight for new jobs and new opportunities and new security for the middle class. I believe we can keep the promise of our founding, the idea that if you're willing to work hard, it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from or what you look like or where you love. It doesn't matter whether you're black or white or Hispanic or Asian or Native American or young or old or rich or poor, abled, disabled, gay or straight. (Cheers, applause.) You can make it here in America if you're willing to try.

(Cheers, applause.)

I believe we can seize this future together because we are not as divided as our politics suggests. We're not as cynical as the pundits believe. We are greater than the sum of our individual ambitions and we remain more than a collection of red states and blue states. We are, and forever will be, the United States of America. (Cheers, applause.)

And together, with your help and God's grace, we will continue our journey forward and remind the world just why it is that we live in the greatest nation on earth. (Cheers, applause.) Thank you, America. (Cheers, applause.) God bless you. God bless these United States. (Cheers, applause.)

Increased carnage

Increased carnage on roads in recent times.

Road carnage can also be referred to as road accidents. They are a great cause of worry in our societies. The deplorable nature of the road has caused a lot of catastrophes and chaos everywhere. So many things cause road carnages. Some of which include portholes, unclear road signs, neglecting of law etc.

            Portholes destroys roads. Portholes are said to be a major factor as to why roads get covered in blood. The holes cause a disruption in the rider’s path which causes too much damage. Portholes are caused by fatigue on road surfaces.  They exacerbate motion on road and cause a lot of damage.

            Also, the marks on the roads which divide the road into two as well as the road from the pedestrian’s lane is depleting. The mark can no longer be seen clearly. Some people ride or drive without knowing whether they are on the right path or not. The inadequacy of road signs and markings all make a head way in accident causing.

            In addition to the previous causes, disregard for the norms of riding and driving also cause major collisions. Riding without helmets, careless overtaking and over speeding cause carnages.

            Some effects of these carnages include loss of property and most feared- loss of death.

In addressing this issue, we must take the best and safest methods required to rid us of this curse of death.

            Methods such as enforcing law and order in societies, re-marking the roads, and motivating youth to help fill portholes around.

At Confidence's House

AT CONFIDENCE’S HOUSE ON SUNDAY

As one of plans I was able to meet it. My visit to the wicked man’s house was ok. He never gave us any drinks but it was ok. I had a big heart. We basked in enjoyment due to our usage of complicated gadgets at our disposal. I was accompanied by a friend nicknamed “LOUSY” and we did a lot of stuff. Even though he is wicked, at his home he is a little bit stable as a result of the leash I put around his neck.

My journey with Grandpa

Volume 1.

MY JOURNEY WITH GRANDPA

Today the 23^rd of February 2013 was a very tiring and fagged. Everything went well and smoothly. At school getting to the end of the day Grandpa my BDT teacher took me along with a few of my friends. We helped him with everything. It was fun. We enjoyed conversations whilst working and I learnt about a new place. The day was ok and my journey with him was an eye-opener.  

Goddess Of Goddesses

Goddess Of Goddesses

The king of emotions in anguish
Staggers soberly pass deities
On never-ending voyage of despair
Chance upon a pearl of immortal
Yonder a kapok
Gleaming like a crescent
Exuding with maddening glamour
Rich of benign stares
A doyenne of melting smile
With pots of blossoming comfort
The king murmured in relief
The truest in sight
The Goddess of goddesses


The king eyes twinkle in alacrity
The heart pledges fidelity
The mind enslaved in eternity
The soul in tsunami of emotionality
The body shivers in diffidence
Oblivious of the providence
Thou goddess abounds in evidence
The truest in sight
The Goddess of goddesses

Hmm… thou crescent’s name
Name
Treasured for ululation
Name
Aliment to the heart
As thou goddess is behold in face
The mouth is gagged
The heart daringly whispering
An epitome of love
An emblem of dove
A template of finest creature
A lifeblood of nature
A paragon of comfort
A companion of fort
The truest in sight
The Goddess of goddesses

In veneration I bow
Seeking your benign mercies
Sighing in relief
To an end of a hapless
Journey

Epic

Epic

[Intro]

 How’s everybody doing tonight?

 I want to see your hands up in the

air right now

 And want you to put it together

for me, like this

 One time, lets go

 ????

 Alright, listen,

 I got my brother Praise in the

house tonight to do this song with

me

 It’s called Epic

 Are you ready?

 [Chorus: Praise]

 Sometimes when I think about

the troubles I’ve seen

 Sometimes when I reminisce the

places I’ve been

 Sometimes when I look around

the faces around me

 I realize, there’s only one option

 And that’s when…

 

 [Verse 1: M.I]

 And that’s when I realize I’m

epic

 Some people live in sweet, my

life is diabetic

 I got an epilepsy; I need to find

a medic

 But there’s no-one to call, and

plus I got no credit

 I feel the doubt is creeping in,

I know I shouldn’t let it

 Plus I’ve been see what they wrote,

I wish I hadn’t read it

 But maybe I could pick ‘em sheet

I wish that I could edit

 I wish the wishes are the bases

of pouring some merit

 The Hate is this life and she’s

a cruel wife

 And though she do me wrong, I gotta

treat her right

 I leave the fucking NEPA, I gotta

be the light

 A short black boy baby, I gotta

reach the heights

 Nothing is given freely

 If we can lay by daily, then I can

wish away my stress because I met

with Djinee

 And everything will work but

that’s just wishful willing

 So I’m fighting to the death for

my men to see the

 Epic y’all

 Epic y’all

 I’m epic y’all

 I’m feeling epic y’all

 I know I’m epic y’all

 I’m epic y’all

 Yeah

 [Repeat chorus]

 [Verse 2]

 And that’s when, I realize

I’m epic

 So go tell the oppressor

 Tell them M. Higher said it

 Send them an email, send a fax,

send it by a fedex

 We are our own tomorrow, we cant

be ruled by relics

 It’s time for our heroes; it’s

time for we the stars

 It’s time for M.I to return back

to his weekly brawls

 This is our dilemma, ???? still

the odds

 The ship sinking faster, hey

we battle through the odds

 If we don’t be the change, it’ll

stay the way it is

 They say we’re scared to die,

we’re really scared to live

 If this is battle time, so all

you are prepared to game

 And we are not alone, destiny

is coming with

 Nothing is given freely

 If we can lay by daily

 I will escape my present state,

I will become a ????

 If life will tell me genie, have

all my powers free me

 I hear the battle cry for; I guess

it’s time to be me

 Epic, epic y’all

 Epic y’all

 I swear I’m epic y’all

 Yeah, epic y’all

 [Repeat chorus]

 [Verse 3: M.I]

 And that’s when I realize we

came to play a great part

 Even Brave-heart had a late start

 Even great art is made fake art

 Until they realize just who they

are

 We are movie stars but we are not

aware

 Of the who, or the what or the why

we’re here

  Looking up into the sky tryna

dry a tear

 Waiting on a hero and deny a peer

 And what my message is, is that

it’s really you

 Meant to change the drama baby,

that you’re going through

 You’re the change, you’re the

hope, you’re the miracle

 You are all the strength you need

in times unbearable

 Nothing is giving freely, but

if we can lay by daily

 If we can seize the moment and

only be the proponent

 It took a moment, but now I get

it

 The world been waiting on me mehn,

I’m fucking epic
