WHY THE QUEEN ELIZABETH II OF UNITED KINGDOM INHERITED THE THRONE INSTEAD OF A "KING" AS CEREMONIAL HEAD ?

By Ganiyu Ayanniyi M. The story of Rulership or Princeship in the UK has always spat arguments between people interested in knowing history. Some Kings ruled as well as some Queens. Some got abdicated as the case of Edit Edward VIII, later Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor. But, what is the case of Queen Elizabeth II ? The Queen Elizabeth II of UK was born in 21 April 1926 by King George VI of UK and queen Elizabeth Bowes-Lyo. Queen Elizabeth II is the eldest daughter of her parents who only had two daughters. Her younger sister is named Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. She is married to Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh (a Prince from Greek descent).

BECAUSE I AM A LADY

(A dedication to all beings with the feminine gender clamouring for their rights) By GANIYU AYANNIYI M. Being beautifully made, It is a crime. Walking alone on special purpose, Is forbidden every time. Because I am a lady! My thoughts are tested, Through sexual harassment. My body is seen,  As object of pleasure. Because I am a lady. My movements are restricted, Because I am not safe. Yes! In the lands of my forefathers, Not even safe in the house of God. Because I am a lady. I wear hijab or niqaab, They say I am not holy. I wear skirt or trouser. They say, I am a prostitute. Because I am a lady. From birth till now, I have always been a device of assault. I have long been confined, Even before these pandemic situations. They rape me: physically and spiritually, the beasts. I am now in thrust, Where I trust no one. Hmm! To love, I find it hard. Because no one knows me within. Oh! I have been raped, mentally. Because I am a lady, Nobody tries to listen to me. Ah! I am always at fault, t

Buhari, Nigeria and the Nigerians of today.

By Ganiyu Ayanniyi M. Nigeria is regarded as one of the Africa great nations which is expected to lead other fellow African and non African countries by examples. But, is the nation showing her great resourceful prowess by leading herself and other nations ? That is what many people ask "Where does the greatness of Nigeria now lies ?" Nigeria under President Muhammadu Buhari had faced and still going through a lot of criticism both at home and abroad in which some lead to appraisals or condemnations that fuel to being "hate speech" when turnout hot. Buhari's policy is seen as many as being silent through voice but louder through action. This is to say that Buhari is a man of few words but full of actions which might be positive or negative. BUHARI'S NEW KYARI, PROF. GAMBARI. It is no longer breaking that Prof. Agboola Gambari, a native of Ilorin in Kwara state, is the new Chief of staff of President Muhammadu Buhari. The new chief of staff, who is in his sev

REFLECTION: a limitless journey Here comes a day Yeah, the one one can't say Who knows how it's going to be ? Hmm, sightless as none could ever see. Seen is the picture of the unknown. Hmm, a trip to the unknown clown. And, if it was to be a 'yes' scene. Prefer a teen with or less nineteen. Thought to the right, But still meditating on a night. Yeah, when everything will be no more. Nonsense, hate it to the core. Stay there lifeless, All of all is meaningless. Stay bright, Your life is more than something light. Why can't you think without destinations? Maybe like that you can detect a solution... Just there being people's toy Well, is that a success ploy ? What is all this being typed ? Nothing, but a limitless reflexion. Why letting you being hyped ? Life continues after one's ascension! By: G.A.M. (TheLucky)  A dedication to all lovers of poetry and to those who are being loved but 'still thinking about it...

New story: ESCAPE ROUTE

By Wínlàdé Their friendship with the corridor of power is the curse that drives us towards the escape route, which leads to any land behind the ocean.  -WOBB In our place, we heard the story of how our forefathers fell in love with Westerners and adopted their faith and education. The epic narration of how they fought the fight of faith and brought down the altar of Babel at the expense of sojourning in the heart of the forest far away from the sight of their fathers and relatives’ wrath remains the pride of those who have acknowledged the call of God over their life. We grew up with a sense of belonging to education. In our schools with perforated roof and doorless entrance, we exuded pride in the euphoria of the world of intellectualism our scholarly fathers’ exploits painted in our memory. The tale of how professor Lapade and emeritus professor Gbenro played football with Barrister Akinwumi on the pitch in the compound of Baptist Primary School in the year 1935 was  our inspir
