On& On




On Tales by Olola today, we took a visit to Olabusola Olorunnowo's poem Library and here is what we have for you. I remain your loyal writer Olabusola Olorunnowo.



On & On 
I have gained some weight
But when I shed my weight
Its like a rainfall
It drops like snow balls
On it some learn
On it some thread
Like a tree my leaves are renewed
And ever green are mine
I live on and on in you
In Christ Jesus I live

 Yes Death
Why hate death
Why rate who should die
And when to die
Even I  
"Oh she’s too young to die"
Is there a time to die
Yes there is a hidden clock 
Ticking and ticking and ticking
with veiled time 
Die at dawn or at dusk
All will go right
But death speaks to us
With crying light
It warns us
Not to hate it
But prepare for it

 Same time
More and more are they
Who birth them
And who bath them
With same trait
At a high rate
They are there and here
Breeding strength from the stream
Of streets their seat of power
With auction to function
Fearless and desperate
With their scepter
Daily they rule treasury
And we say they are
“Touts, Agberos”
Yes our culture is not their culture
Yet they work hard at it.
Same 24 hours is allotted to us all but how we use ours matter...

HOW TO TEACH A TODDLER HOW PARENTS EARN MONEY

Image
Children often feel bad when they approach us, as parents for something they want to buy and we tell them there is no money or we can't buy it now. To some of them: " Daddy don't just want to buy it " or " mummy is just being difficult ".  It forms a bad pattern when children get used to the culture of " there is no money", "No you can not have it", "We can not buy it now", "Stop wasting my money", "Monies are not plucked on trees", "do you think I steal money" and much more. Many children make a request because they know and believe it is Daddy and mummy's responsibility to provide everything and whenever this fails to happen, they feel less loved. It might be just best to enlighten them about how people earn money or income and how money circulates. When children are made to understand how salaries are being paid then they would be more considerate rather than being wasteful or un...

Apenuwa Temitope Daniel

Image
  Apenuwa Temitope Daniel is a remarkable individual whose intelligence and determination make him stand out. He is not just ambitious but also a relentless goal-getter. I recall him once expressing his academic standard, saying he must not see a "C" in his results again. For him, even a "B" signifies failure because an "A" is his true grade. Our friendship deepened as we discovered both similarities and differences in our personalities and preferences. We shared the distinction of earning "A"s in Directing Practical Exams, not just once but repeatedly, confirming our shared dedication to excellence. However, our creative inclinations differed—Apenuwa leaned toward modern, foreign plays, while I had a deep affinity for local and traditional themes. This contrast enriched our perspectives and strengthened our bond. Fate brought us together in a memorable project group during our undergraduate years in 2006, alongside Faturoti Tayo, Latifat Suleima...
