Sissy:

Prestige, my sweetness

You are not just a man

You are a superman 💪

Tougher and stronger than the glorified superman!

Perhaps to him, you are the superior one.

Prestige:

If I am superior to super man

Then it's because I got a strong woman

Fusing me with Energy, Truth and Love.

You do it with ease

But I know it's no tease

Your words are sweet like manna

It spurs me to embrace good manners

Sissy:

Nurtured and cuddled in catapulted words!

That has elevated me to my essence' core

Prestige:

You flow like LAUREN's stream from up the HILL

Killing me softly with this love that I feel🎶

You are everyone's sweet lady but MY WOMAN💃

Warming my heart with music, with a hot ONE DAY COAL

Sissy:

I hear you call me your woman! 😍

And my heart bounces @ the thought of you my man!

Though you eulogize me as Sugar!

I confess that you are sweeter

Prestige:

Sweet sweeter sweetest

Honey is sweet 🐝

Prestige is sweeter

Sissy is the sweetest

‘Honey Prestiger Sissiest’

Sissy:

More, much, most

Sissy loves all, but Prestige more!

Prestige loves Sissy as much,

And sissy loves him most

Prestige:

Let's go to the desert

And quench our thirst with kisses

Let's go to the garden

And play naked like Adam and Eve

Sissy:

Let's hold hands together,👫

Basking in our union like there is no other!

Let's mingle and tangle

After all, it takes two to Tango.

Delve into me as you would lick Mango

Hold me close and don't let go

Prestige:

I will squeeze you like orange 🍋

Wipe your ripe mangoes with my wet towel

Cover your thighs with kisses👄

And your river will never run dry

Sissy:

Oh my darling!

Envelope me in your Bosom,

Fill my river with your magic rod!

Fuel me with sizzling sparks and redeem my weary heart

Dice me and Spice me into a story!

Take me to Paradise and tame me!

I command and also beg thee,

to love me forever beyond the reach of time⏰

Prestige:

Sissy Love, my beautiful dove

Please shun all worries about loving you forever

Cos’ on the very first day I fell in love with you💛

I brutally amputated the hands of time😕🔪

Sissy:

My heart beats faster,

I have suddenly grown taller and bigger!

Hearing the words I so desire,

Spring out from your sincere lips!

I love you deeply,

Truly and wholeheartedly too💋

SAMURAI SECRETLY PREPARES AN ANT'S RACE ON "THIS WAR"

OLAYINKA SAMSON AREMU (SAMURAI) is  a renowned "WORDiator" as popularly chanted in  the poetry/spoken word parlance in Nigeria. He is a Spoken Word Poet whose lines tickles the fantasies of the hardest of hearts. He is uniquely known for fighting with invisible swords on stage, little wonder he is a SAMURAI.

He was the 1st Runner-Up at the biggest poetry slam in Nigeria (War of Words Season 4, 2014), twice 2nd runner-Up at Abuja Poetry Slam 2015).  He has performed on countless platforms from university campuses, radio and television shows, poetry and soul music events in almost all the commercial nerve centers of the country.


Here, we bring to your mind's eyes, 'an open secret' on Samurai's latest move to produce two of his awe-inspiring spoken word videos, "This War" and "Ants' Race" that promises to  send romantic messages like archers into the heart of men previously-perfectly kissed by arrows.

You can't afford to miss the videos of those two multiple award-winning poems...hence you "WASH OUT"


THIS WAR
"""""""""""""

This war is not to be fought on the battlefield
Where swords clang with the shield,
Where archers send romantic messages through bows
And the chests of men are kissed by arrows,
Where war-lords wield warriors
To fight, to surmount and to be victorious.
But this war started it all after all.

Haven't you heard of WET E, AGBEKOYA and ADO ODO PANKERE wars,
Where dangerous lions were unarmed of their paws
as the essence of their hearts pour
They never were apprehended with the fear of armed corps.
But of course,
This war started it all after all.

The kaboom Kaboom Of Gaza rockets,
That dismantled bricks, body, bones, ball and sockets;
Cases that can't stand on the legal docket
It emerged from "this war's pockets
This war started it all after all.

"BOKO ARE RAMS" slaughters men like Ileya rams
Bombings that surpass and supersede scams.
It all started with slams.
This war started it all after all .

You have heard about the war of Troy,
Where armies trample, invade and destroy.
Like little children playing with toys
They were unaware of the moment when war walked in to whisk away their joy
and all what they enjoy
Their plenteous pretties and beauteous booties were destroyed
This war serves several serenades of decoy.
This war started it all after all .

There's been so many religious conflicts,
When our founding father's fading faith contradict
When holy heathens and believing infidels refuse to mix
When religious leaders wore the robe of convicts
The Holy books and this war intermix.
This war started it all after all.

When Husbands and wives divorce
When men were riding and hitting their wives like horse
When women hearken not to their hubby's voice
When they have to part paths by force,
This war is the source.
This war started it all after all.

This war is fun for some,
For those that are troublesome.
This war is sorrow in the hearts of others
That love all as their brothers.

This war like every other war starts with a war song
This war is a fight for rights against the wrongs
This war is a dialogue-dictating epilogue
This war takes the shape of your tongue
This war started it all  after all

This war is always around us
This war lives on the insides of us.
It processes its process in our brains and follows the furrowed flows in our vocal cords
It works innately and with us in accord.
This war begins and ends every other war
This war travels farther than birds.
This war is the war of words.

TAADEWRITES

When Manuel D’Poet got ‘Consumed by words’…He wrote for ‘TAADEWRITES’, an acrostic poem. Feel his cravings here....



 Took me a while to notice you, still wishing to hold and behold you
Allowing myself get consumed by the words you spoke to me on that slow queue
Although we remain friends but getting closer to you by admiring your hair-do was all I seem to do.
Don't say a word, just listen to my few new words, love is what I pursue.
Everything I ever dreamt of abounds and can be found in you.
   
Will you let me feel this love all alone? Please ”jor” come to my throne
React to my feelings and emotions cause it’s eating me up in my bones.
Infact let me just call you now, where is my phone?
Then I found out that I've been sleeping and dreaming since
Experiment is over    
Time for hypothesis and result of over-eating beans
Sorry for the joke though, wanted talking to you and it’s like this was the only means…

“Joor” is a Nigerian slang word for “please”

Men, Not gods

Adetimehin Victor ‘Vic’Adex’ is becoming increasingly popular by the day with his “Men, not gods” piece performed at War of Words Season 5 (August, 2015). Below is another version of the poem, crafted by a freelance writer, Olabanji Issa Usman (BusyBrain), titled still as “Men, Not gods"

Those we repose our trust

and verily craving for a lust

while their citizens hustling in a dust

O! they are the looters

They are men not gods

Through party manifestos they create

and we follow and voted them with faith

Now they are marring myriad fate

Who are they making us irate ?

O! They are Men not gods

Behold poly and varsities with corruption

as they rule with bad reputation

lecturers and there irritable method of extortion

extorting to build mansion

verily, they are men not gods.

Where are your particulars by the road side ?

claiming protection and cannot chide evil tide

Twenty Naira as daily bread from motorists in their ride

Taking bribe stylishly in a glide

O! they are Men not gods

“Allahu Akbar” after slaughtering

Claiming true servants after bombing

O! God those things are done in your name even raping

Alas! Are the gods vexing?

No, they are Men not gods

Those aborted pregnancy

by the girls at their infancy

who are  the owners and the terminator of terminated pregnancy

O! they are Men not gods

Men are the evil doers

as evil tide in Nigeria is building towers

Nursing murderers with kleptomaniac fingers

Men are the looters

Men are the destroyers

Men are the bombers

Men are the robbers

The evil tide perpetrators

are the MEN and  Not gods

Yes! Men not gods

“Allahu Akbar” in Arabic language depicts “God is the greatest”

LINES&LYRICS INTERVIEW WITH AN ENIGMA…

‘Enigmatic’ Olumide Bisiriyu is a poet, spoken word artist, movie producer, poetry promoter and Founder/CEO, EGC Media & Properties Company. In this exclusive interview with BankHALL of LinesNLyrics, he speaks of his background, marriage, career and his trending spoken word video, "I COUNT" unleashed on Tuesday, September 1st, 2015. 

BankHALL: Good day Sir Enigmatic 

Enigmatic: Good day BankHall. 

BankHALL: We heard of your trending video going viral on the internet now, tell us about it...

Enigmatic: I Count is a spoken word Poetry video about mother Nigeria and her children.

BankHALL: How did you come about the title "I COUNT" ?

Enigmatic: It's a product of many thinking, about the many mistakes we make as Nigerians that has been taking us backwards since independence till now, about the many bombings of Boko Haram, the many petty thieves who get jailed Or killed for stealing small money, the many big thieves in politics who steal big money and still go scot-free, the many injustice, and the many ways we enjoy suffering as individuals without actually wanting to change. 

BankHALL: What’s the primary message you intend to pass with the video?

Enigmatic: The change we were looking for is finally knocking on our doors, but it’s not government that will bring about the change, its understanding of the power of the masses over the government. 

BankHALL: Did you encounter any challenge producing the video? 

Enigmatic: Not really, because i am a cinematographer and I prepared before hand for likely challenges.. The only challenge may be during recording as the producer /engineer couldn’t get what I wanted on time and I kept going back to record till they got it. 

BankHALL: Was it your first time? 

Enigmatic: No. I have one or two short films that I kept away from the public. But it’s my first Poetry video. 

BankHALL: How do you feel doing what you do in a country where poetry is still growing, unlike music and movies? 

Enigmatic: I think it’s a privilege to be among those doing Poetry before it became popular. It’s just a matter of time and consistency before Poetry gets her place in mainstream entertainment. But we poets need to work more together if we are to get there faster. 

BankHALL: Can you give us a brief of your background and upbringing?

Enigmatic: Well, I was born in Ajegunle area of Lagos. Second Son, of five kids from my Mum. I later lived in Ikeja GRA for about 11 years. Then I went to school in Ibadan. Then went to Katsina State. And then back to Ajah in Lagos to work and now I shuffle Ibadan and Lagos.

BankHALL: Did poetry have anything to do with your choice of a life partner?

Enigmatic: Perhaps... Though I have known my wife for about 10 years before we got married. We lost touch and only reconnected when she started making comments on my poems on facebook wall (I used to post poems on facebook you know).

BankHALL: Tel us about your journey into poetry performance and promotion 

Enigmatic: I started writing Poetry in around 1994, but I didn’t know it was Poetry because I sing then. In 2004 I made a 7 tracks album that has one Yoruba “ewi” (traditional poetry) and a pure spoken word Poetry . I took it to some professionals for critique and fell more in love with Poetry because they loved the poems more. I actually started performance Poetry in concerts just before then. I eventually started Poetry Promotion when I met more poets in events around 2010, having realised that if we do not promote one another our dreams of creating a vibrant spoken Poetry industry may just be a mirage.

BankHALL: How do you merge Property Management, Poetry Promotion, Talent Management and Movie Production?

Enigmatic: I actually can’t explain that. I think it’s in the blood.

BankHALL: Where do you see poetry writing and performance in the next 10 years in Nigeria?

Enigmatic: I see it becoming a big deal. Even the musicians and actors will want to switch to poetry, Or at least do Poetry once in a while.

BankHALL: What do you think you or other Poets/Spoken Word Artists can do to get poetry the place where music is today? 

Enigmatic: Supporting the works of one another and promoting them. We should learn from how comedy industry blew up. They were always there for one another. We should avoid cliques, sentimentality, and everything that separates us. And most of all, we should keep doing what we are doing and don't stop.

BankHALL: What’s your advice to newbies who have passion for written /performance poetry, who may be looking up to you as a Role Model and/or Mentor?

Enigmatic: A portion of the scripture says the glory of the latter House shall be greater. You have every opportunity to achieve that. Learn from those before you. Be better than them but respect and don't look down on them. Most importantly, be consistent. Know your style, message, and stick to it.


BankHALL: Thanks for your time, Enigmatic.

Enigmatic: Thank you.
