HAIKU Day twinkle bowl of memories beside a boy Rusty walls Grey blocks gone with time Boy lives life Hands hold head in
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS: THE NGIGA PRIZE FOR HUMOR WRITING IN HONOR OF LATE ACTOR JOHN OKAFOR
Over three hundred Nollywood movies later, Mr. Ibu’s legacy is etched in laughter. He’s the goofy neighbour, the lovable rogue, the underdog who always finds a way. His characters, often eccentric and full of heart, became mirrors reflecting the realities and humour of everyday Nigerian life.
Three Poems by Joshua Omeke
For in the Safari Serenade, we find a blend,
Of wonder, discovery, and lessons to mend.
So let us honor the spirit of those who came,
Acknowledging the impact, both fortune and shame.
In the tapestry of history, their story resides,
The European expedition to Africa, where worlds collide.
