This long and crooked path,
Life’s labyrinth,
Stretching out the petals of intrigues
cocooning Minotaur, son of Pasiphaë,
is to Labinnah just a thorny road to glory.
Are you Theseus, Labinnah,
That strong and mighty soldier? Continue reading LABINNAH’S LEGEND by ‘Lakunle Jaiyesimi
Dear Hannibal,
“Inspiring scenes of people taking the future of their countries into their own hands will ignite greater demands for good governance and political reform elsewhere in the world, including in Asia and in Africa.” – William Hague.
While the statement above is true, so much needs be done by the people of Nigeria, Continue reading LETTER FROM THE SON OF MAN vol. 4 by ‘Lakunle Jaiyesimi
Dear, Son of Man.
I am excited as ever to get your timely correspondence. It was a timely balm that soothes the strained joints of our daily struggles.

My conscience actually bleeds because I belong to a nation that has lost its soul. The irredeemable path taken by us as a nation had revealed our recidivism and only a soulful diagnosis and conscientious surgery of the root cause can redirect us from this annihilating path that leads to nothing but perdition.
