Olaniyan Kehinde writes a heartfelt poem.

THE NIGHT
In the reign of night
Time wears thick gloomy cloak
In a bid to mourn the death of day
And bid the glowing sun farewell

Sometimes we join the grievous elegy
Singing solemnly in melodious laments
Nursing the grudges of blind darkness
Which glue its veil on our radiant faces

In the reign of night 
When sleep softly sings it lullaby
Each grip of cold is beat
Every stroke of warmth is pleasure

Sometimes in the reign of night
As the snake creep into the hut
So the burglar may gently stride in
To raid, rape, and wreck the house

The night is but a coward
Whom the gentle moon can strip unclad
For the little ones to cluster like stars 
And enjoy series of elder’s tales


Even lovers employ the night reign
Dashing their shames against its scary face
As they wallow in the pool of pleasure
While the night watches like a slave

Night! Oh night!
Prepare ye therefore
For sooner the day shall rule

Everyone shall cry the night dirge away
When the florescent bulb smiles

Somebody said 'many undergraduates won't know they are not educated until they finish their first degree'. We suppose education to be a means to the end but it's the end in a country like Nigeria. A place where lecturers believe you cannot make it educationally if you don't come back for your secondary degree most especially when you don't study Medicine or Law. We will, therefore, consider our educational system if it's functional or dead one, formal or consistently informal, generative or destiny killer. It's in Nigeria that I see the educational Irony. You ask how. My lecturer will tell me our education is formal while I'm sitting on ground in their class fo...
