(Article) THE FATHER LAND by ISRAEL NELSON




Recession!
Starvation!
What of corruption?
Hang on a second!
What about the innocent killings and now the Academic strike?
WHY ALL THESE?


The leaders blinded by their selfish want

The Government undefined

Plot of evils on their minds

The former agenda an enemy to the present

"Another government set to fail"

Men lay in wait to shed blood

Each haunting his brother

Both hands skilled in doing evil

The rulers demand gifts

The judges accept bribes

Agendas unfinished

Plans still yet to be carried out

Promises not fulfilled

Cities unkept

Lives in insecurity

Investment in another father's land

Money converted seize with no account


The school system not fix to help the Nation's operation

So they send their children abroad

We are one they say

But brothers against brothers

Tribe against tribe

A Governor today senator tomorrow

We are leaders of tomorrow with no path to follow

No wonder many are unable to further

Some tired of the education

"let just finish and see what await us out there" they say

Another touts unleashed

Youth grumbling hates for the leaders

Some future might have been shifted

Students left confused and desolate

Civil rights denied

Homes set apart

Plans left void

Youth with uncertain future

The powerful dictate power

They all conspire together

The solution to this present political uncertainty who can tell?
     

       Guard our leaders right
   Help our youth the truth to know
    With love and honesty to grow
      And live in just and truth
      Great lofty height attained
   Where peace and justice shall reign



Do not gloat over me
Though have fallen I will rise
The day for building my walls will come
     
Enough of the recession
Provide food
Put an end to the corruption
Stop the killing
Call the strike off


Nigerians please guard your vote diligently.
God bless Nigeria

Provoked Love I am in love Yes I mean Love But I never started, your love stired up my own love You loved me even in my rejected state Everyone deserted me but you still came to me In the quietness of my soul, you are still there The sky reminds me of how limitless you are The flowers of your beauty A look at me tells me how skilful and creative you are Oh my wonderful lover Am in love with the lover of my soul ©Livingman Follow on: IG @livinggman Fb: Livinus Shekwolo Luka

JAPANESE ENGINEER DEVELOPS REAL-LIFE TRANSFORMER CAR

Japanese engineers develop real-life transformer car 2018/04/29 Japanese engineers have developed a real-life transforming car robot which can actually transform with people inside. Standing 3.7-meters tall, the two-seater robot, dubbed “J-deite RIDE”, can transform from car to robot in 1-minute, and walk at a speed of 100 metres per hour or drive on its four wheels. “The robots I’ve seen in animation movies since childhood all had this kind of look and they transform into or combined with each other to become something else with people on board. So I grew up believing that robots had to be capable of such things, which became my motivation to develop this robot,” said Brave Robotics chief executive officer Kenji Ishida, who initiated the co-project with Asratec. The new development is expected to get many car freaks excited especially with the fact that the car can transform with people inside it.
