TALES OF A BROKEN SOUL (Poem)

By -

In the midst of thousands
You can see her gloomy smile,
In her eyes, lays comfortably
The tears of melancholy,

Trapped within her own misfit,
Her mind wonders, while the soul shivers in glum,
In-between those smiles, the traces
To the scars of betrayal prostrate,

The choices of yesterday's happiness
Sores the heart into desolation,
Lamenting for the trust once given freely,
The soul is soaked in outdoorsy of fears,
There it lays hopelessly like a cadaver waiting for an autopsy.

In search for its peace,
The soul wonders faraway from home,
Miles away to the Eastland,
With hopes of erasing the past days of it's tribulations,
To find a temporal peace
Solacious to the mind, out of its grief
Just for a day of fortuitous marvel,

All through her vain ran the ocean
Of regrets, wondering when and how
It all went wrong, forwhy, all she bore
Were unmeasurable kindness and happiness,

All she could reap for these virtues,
Are moments of seeing her loved ones
In pain.
Although she was innocent,
She took the blames, covering herself in shame,
Shame too lame for the soul to tame

The beauty in her turned woeful,
She could only embrace the
Morose she had those moments and within,
She looked up with expectations,
That these experiences are just nightmares,
Indeed this soul is broken,
It's drowning in depression,
Desperately in need of a savior.

A Savior to restore felicity undeplorable,
A Savior to cloth her with fortune and strength,
A Savior to reawaken the crumbs of love left,
A Savior to fly her on an eagles wing back to where she belongs,
For all she thinks about is somewhere
Far away from here,
Somewhere so safe filled with love and laughter.
Somewhere but no where else than home.

NFCS IN HISTORY

By -

Nigeria Federation of Catholic Students (NFCS) is a body encompassing catholic students in all high institutions of learning. Its history can be traced back to 1920 when the idea of catholic students unionism came up; an internal catholic study union (ICSU) was created in swiss with George de Montenach as the president to deepen the urgency for reconciliation in a world torn apart by the first world war. During the late 1920s, the students society charged its President; Montenach, secretary; Max Gressly and father Tschunor to deepen the contacts with other student group, Dr. Gerald Brom, the then General Secretary of the Netherlands Catholic Association of Students responded quickly to this effort and a coalition of the students from three neutral countries during the war was created; Switzerland, Holland and Spain. Another chapter was created in early 1921 after a meeting between Max Gressly and Dr. Brom when it was decided to gather together the different associations of the student...

*The Untold Story Of what killed Samuel Okwaraji, the legendary Nigerian player who died while playing against India.* ⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽⚽ As I am writing this, I am struggling to plug a wall of emotions with a stoic face. General Kollington Ayinla’s Late Okwaraji which has filled my room with its sober and somber lines is not helping matters. Hmmm….there is no way one will tell the story of SAMUEL SOCHUKWUMA OKWARAJI without feeling the pain of the loss gnawing at your heart, and as your head swells with patriotic pride, your lacrimal glands conspire to betray you. For millions of Nigerians, the most fabled soccer player is none other than this gentleman. Many grew up listening to incredibly woven and mesmerizing story of how he gave up the ghost while Nigeria was playing against India. After Nigeria had defeated India by a world-record-breaking 99-0, and were on the verge of making it 100-0 and completing the humiliating defeat of t...
