The Challenge
In as much as I detest Candy Crush requests I will accept. . . But You sending me a challenge of the ice bucket Makes me wonder if you not suffering from Fracture of the eye socket/ The truth is, from the on set, I knew you would stray from the main goal The moment i heard you talk trash on set/ Celeberties in Europe and America came together for a cause/ To raise funds and awareness about the ALS…

I’ve been nominated for Future Africa Awards
My friends. . .my well wishers. . .I have been nominated for the Future African Awards in the Excellence in Public Service category. This is a huge mile stone for me and my team at the African Union Commission and the GIZ-AU office. Whether I win it or not is not the question but the fact that the work of me and my team is being monitored closely from around the continent is heart warming. This is to thank everyone that has…

I’ve Been There…!
I see you with hands in chin/ In thoughts deeper than wells of Beijing/ I see you constantly run your fingers through your hair, like you now live in a world whose problems you no longer can bear/ I hear you deep sighing/ Shaking your head and clapping your hands. . .well I know what you’re implying/ That you’ve been to hell and back/ Or that you feel betrayed and no one’s got your back/ Listen, I’ve been there. .…

Reality of Illusion
A samurai with two swords A poet with mean words A prisoner with freedom thoughts A King and his subjects A queen and her maidens A student of knowledge A pregnant nun All searching for the reality beyond time and space Have you ever wondered why Oliver asked for more? Or why you are never satisfied with the iPhone you just bought? Have we ever questioned the illusion we discard and the reality we believe? Like separating wanted and unwanted…

Love Trapped in Hate
Remember when our Relationship was like the game of Tennis/ When love meant nothing When every hello or hi said was enough When I never cared if you had a cold or cough And when you were so comfortable calling the bluff Remember the days you will pass me by like you never cared/ And I would bow down my head in fear rubbing my beard/ Praying upon the moon/ Wishing upon the stars/ That the lord will reveal to…

Pay Attention…!
Like an alcoholic confessing his sins to a toilet bowl I’m ready to let it all out And Run my mouth like Mohammed Ali would run commentary for the Super bowl And Be rest assured that Truth will be told Be it in the scorching afternoon on the streets of UTANGA Or on Obudu mountain’s evening cold I/ Stand before you here as a thief Ready to rob you off the prejudices and misconceptions You hold dear to your heart/…

Death of Blackberry – A Case for Cross Platform Mobile App Development Paradigm
Just like the desktop and web development ecosystem, the mobile application development world is typified with different frameworks for writing native and non-native apps. For the iOS operating systems, there is very limited choice as Apple restricts developers to writing iPhone applications in Objective-C, C, C++ or JavaScript as executed by the iPhone OS WebKit engine. Apps must be originally written in one of these languages and may only use Documented APIs in a manner prescribed by Apple. Only code…

Vacation 2013: The Gambian Experience
So here I am. . .after over a year of not blogging. Not that I haven’t been writing or lacked what to talk about, as it is the case with most wanna-be bloggers like myself, you should expect flaws like this one, as many times in one year. Though I have written articles (technical and non technical) I thought are not worthy of publishing, written poems I am too scared to post (Cold, I’ve been there, Broken Pot, As I…

Away
I could decide to pick a prostitute and “sex” it away I could decide to get a wrap of ganja and smoke it away… Or visit a “pharmacist” to sniff it away I could decide to spend all day and night in a bar drinking it away At least I know, like my friends say The bottle doesn’t betray Better still Without much delay, I could go to a karaoke bar and sing it away Or attend a comedy show…
