Strange Secret about GURU GUANOS

Sometime ago, when I was writing the first Review about The GURU GUANO screenplay, I remember I chewed my gum with a leaking nose, but I realized that to be a writer is just about how well you reveal secrets that people may desperately want to know about. Then I had to write again about the characters I assigned to the GURUS. What about my major character, ZAFANA?


Yes, she is a young girl but practically possessed by the mental strength of the GURUS. I’m sure you have consulted your dictionary once, at least about the word GURU. ZAFANA has that intelligence, and a raging ego that distinguished her from the gatherings of other young ladies of twenty six.


Slim, tall Fulani extract with a strong touch of Igbo tribal affluence. Such cultural unity that made a unique lady is the base of my GURU GUANO screenplay.


At the boundary area between Enugu state and Kogi state in Nigeria, where two culture and religions lavish in Unity. Languages were interchanged as children of different cultural/religious backgrounds swim together in the streams that gave the demarcations. If a place like that were not created with a little fragrance of unity. These present religious war in Africa would have resulted ninety years ago in a place like the Valley of OKUTU, Where the GURU GUANOS settled. ZAFANA rose from amongst these children too. Regarded as slaves of war, even with super crafts and intelligence, they remained as subordinates of the freeborn. Using cultural references of the Osu caste systems in Eastern Nigeria and the Mande of Cameroon.


Hey…who’s at my kitchen door? Let me check.

Screenplay Review ( "Back Gate")

 To those that visits my bakery, this is a backgate to the Screenplay review of my present story



Screenplay Review of my present project as the president International Youth Right (IYR) Nigeria. I appreciate the contributions of the president, IYR Worldwide. And the Uganda, South Africa IYR leaders, and of course encyclopedia for the research materials they supported me with. Thank you.

Having our 2011 objective in mind (achieving universal basic primary education)


I am establishing a story based on the effects of unrests on the major basins in Africa. Off course I am still made of the concepts that promote fictions, but other writers know I’m the lion king. Ruling over the fictions of African realities, a basic precaution not to offend the other Lions But sometimes I do precede the boundary of my own social habitat, I still lead my baby lions, my readers, I treat them preciously like babies.


The effects of social unrests in achieving universal basic primary education in Africa, It was during the wars, like the Nigeria Biafra War. My screenplay will dissolve the concepts of my dreams of fiction. But I think I will pick characters from some research findings I made. During my course of research, I visited University of Nigeria Nsukka, that’s in my Town and I knew the best private libraries. I visited Enekwe research center, center for basic space science UNN, Enugu state library also, I had fun and worked too. Visiting Enugu reminded me of my university days


TILA is my major character, with plenty of told stories on her head. My earlier scenes will come as flash backs of when she was born, how her father choosed to appreciate her twin brother who is a boy. 


 Horses were rode and the boats sailed her to her grandfather where she was told the stories of wars, at 8, she had a psychology that reflects the shots of violence. These are the major problems of primary education in Africa. Children have been given wrong training at the early ages of their elementary. They developed certain mentalities with reference to their background which TILA did. She was disorientated and denied her basic right of Education yet she had the courage to be a Leader. And her intelligence


I tried to develop stages in the scenes where she will steal away to see Princess AVILA who motivates her to be a woman in her spirit.


Then a voice over scenes was placed in-between, to explain how her Grandfather took her to several spiritual places, seeking for a solution to her psychology. Yet the concept of purity dwelled inside of her. She was discriminated.


Then she tried to break away traditions that created that discrimination between the male and the female gender, which keeps the male child at a high investment value to her female counterpart. To TILA, my screenplay developed her courage to break the boundary, so she ran away and enrolled in school.


Let there be equal platform for male and female child to compete in primary education. The screenplay suggested that too. TILA did well in her classes.


I may develop the story as the demand comes but the IYR demanded for a short documentary drama and this is the beginning though an end to this point.

Letter to Laurent Gbabgo of Cote D'ivoire

Unbehalf of African Youths, under strong influence of the peaceful objectives of different youth bodies I currently serve and those I have represented. I write to show concern over the present political crises that developed from the last Cote D’lvoire’s presidential election. We have listened to your appeals and that of Dramane Quatarra, we have reviewed the words of your counsel and your critiques.

With the virtue of democratic authority invested in the youths, I wish to plead that you must step down for the Sake of our continent Africa. Here in Africa, we do not wish to embrace only, the sciences and technologies of the developed nations rather, we also wish to adopt their democratic structure of governance to enable us attain the same level of development as they have done. Without doubt, the United Nations has recognized Quattara as the winner of the election. Judging from the conclusions of the UN and other internationally acclaimed democrats, we do wish that you will step down.

It’s true that at your level of power and experience, you cannot compromise your rights and privileges but we do hope that your ego should be compromised for our sake. Over 250 people are dead already and poverty is returning to our land. If you cannot compromise the seat for the conclusion of the UN, then it must be for the sake of these poor citizens that are dying. We have your name labeled in the strong book of history of African leadership but do not wish to include it on the names of those that caused war and deaths of Africans

Moreover, I use this medium to plead to you and every other African leader, to embrace democracy and always consider the rights of the citizens first. We the upcoming leaders are regretting the fact that you people have not developed the platform of Equity and development for us but at one hand, we plead that everything maybe taken away before our regime but let peace be left for us.

With peace, we shall rebuild the broken empires of Africa,

With peace, we shall compete in technology and philosophy,

With peace, we  shall rise up, not just as people, but as a continent, to achieve our lasting victory, against war,terror, constant bridge in democracy and we shall remember that someone like you have compromised your feelings to see us rise

One love Africa

On behalf of African Youths

Yours sincerely

Climate Change In Nigeria

From desertification and drought in the north to gully erosion and flooding in the south, Nigerians are witnessing first hand effects of climate change on their socio-economic life.

Concern about food security is accentuated by knowledge that few countries in the world are less prepared for climate change than Nigeria. There is no adaptation plan, no government capacity to tap into international climate financing mechanisms, and very low public awareness of the risks.

The Nigerian people themselves face a geographical pincer threat from desertification in the north and coastal erosion in the south. Through a combination of overgrazing, abuse of woodland for fuel and increasingly unreliable rainfall, an estimated rate of 600 meters per annum. Over 55 million people in 10 northern states could be affected.

By contrast, rising sea levels threaten Nigeria’s coastal regions. The Niger Delta may be the source of oil wealth but its low-lying terrain crises-crossed with waterways makes it extremely vulnerable to flooding. 

The protective mangroves of this coastline have been largely lost to human intervention. Half of the 15 million population of the city of Lagos lives less than six feet above sea level, including the wealthiest areas of Victoria Island.

In the north, relatively modest techniques are likely to be appropriate to adapt to desertification. Such measures will include tree planting, the use of alternative fuels such as biogas, water harvesting and improved soil management.

 I am initiating an entrepreneurial adaptation Strategy and Plan of Action this initiative must stand though it is bound to take time to become fully operational. Why should we watch Nigeria tropical forest decimate by 97%,                                         

 Why should we allow our country’s broader forest which earlier covered over 12% in 2005, being depleted at a rate of 3.3% per annum? The main cause is the demand for wood fuel. In the absence of affordable alternatives, charcoal is popular even in the cities, boosting its uncontrolled production.

Nigeria, like other African nations which are at the receiving end of the effects of the global climate change, is counting its losses from the impact of the phenomenon.

Climate change has affected farming activities with loss of crops, farmlands and income as a result of either excessive rain which leads to flooding or harsh climatic condition,

Nigeria and other African countries must develop work able strategies for post Copenhagen challenges that would include developing appropriate technology to cope with effects of climate change.

Should we fold our hands and watch the Sahara take over the north, or the gully erosions devour our southern habitants?

'There has to be more efforts and policies towards adaptation, special areas of mitigation, technology and clean energy for industrialization. We need to do what is within our means, while at the same time look forward to what the West will offer. Let us be carefully, send in your views as we combat the return of Sahara and the bully gully.

2011, My first story

According to the Tradition of  Africa, Beauty starts from home, this solely applies to all issues of life.
 therefore, for writers, writing should start from our selves...what is it about me that you have not known yet?...all my told stories are different parts of me, Baking them for my people to read.. yet there is one great secret i will tell you today. it's about my friend...

My heart was my closest friend, always giving me directions that have made my world beautiful. Some of its wishes seemed weird but I achieved them all. Fighting to keep my best friend happy was a big challenge to me. Sometimes I wondered if devil had taken over the entire partitions of the inside, sometimes I felt God’s presence in the veins and arteries …only then, my heaviness and vengeance were dissolved into forgiveness and freedom.

The science of my spiritual man was what I could not comprehend. My actions were not determined by my conscious being. I had taken some risks that I would wish not to think of, I had dumped those things others envied of me. Sometimes it seems to me that I have another existence outside my physical. The stories I have heard about me were not my actions, sometimes I dream them and they come to pass. I knew then within me that I was a mystery.

Before I discovered the warrior that fought with me and against me, I was begging God to recreate. It was my early primary school days, earlier than that, I was supernaturally intelligent and did extremely well in school. I was the smartest amongst my friends and people envied my childhood wisdom, yet it was not me. My behaviors were the actions of the unknown. I was an audience of my words. And my victory gave me no joy. My teachers knew me by name, giving me the merits of someone’s actions. I knew it must not be so, and then I strived to understand.

I listened to stories my father told me, I discovered my ancestors were wise and famous. But that was not the answers to my problems.

I listened to my mother’s own stories, I discovered that my great grand parents had the power to turn to life lions, and our generations could have inherited it, it’s weird though but that was not my problem either.

My problem is to discover this entity that leaves my life for me. If it’s a man, he says my words for me, he takes great actions for me and he wrote my exams without my contribution. If it’s a woman, she makes me popular and wise but I needed to know.

At the age of eight, I set out on this journey, with patience and a burning urge that I could not quench. I looked around for a friend to tell my problems but no one seemed right. My father could be the right person but I did not want to scare him, then I could only find my heart very close to me, so I made it my close friend.

I set out to the remote parts of my village, where no one was at sight, sometimes I climbed trees and hid amongst the green leaves, and then we discussed my situations.

The first day I had a formal meeting with my heart was on the 16^th of March 1990. I sat under a tree, in a forest, a few kilometers away from my father’s house. Where should I start, I exploded in tears, sobbing with passion and grieve, then my heart pleaded on me to stop, promising to be my friend, and to share with me, every secret that worries me. Why was I created like this, not being able to have absolute control of my actions, why was I created like this, doing things I did not know about? Then my friend laughed, welcoming me into the realm of supernatural consciousness. He said I was a wise man, that I will be celebrated all around the world, that I shall be a counsel to kings. He spoke like an old man, and I asked him how old he was, he laughed again and told me that age is a success of vanity, counting originated in the world and he is not of the world. Where are you my friend?, he answered that he was far from me, that even my death does not alter him. Then you must help me my friend. I do not wish to be great for those actions I am not in control of. I do not want to be heard, speaking words that did not come from my own mouth. I want to be celebrated for the integrity of my virgin concepts, my actions. You must come very close to me my friend. I have a place for you beneath my chest, secured with the toughest bones in my body. I think it will be safe for you in there.

There was a brief silence, but I broke it with tears, please accept my request I pleaded. And he said he had conditions to make

What other condition will I compromise, when I have been tortured by the unconsciousness of my own actions? Living in vengeance and regrets

He told me something about the place I prepared for him, it would have been a nice place to be, but there is a single bone there that was removed to be recreated. It’s in the hands of the great molder he told Me., but very soon it shall come back, with jealousy it will occupy the space, never wanting to share any bit of it with anybody, not even my closest friend.

That was a sad story to me, and I argued immediately, pleading on my friend, then he said to me that he would come and stay at the tips of my hair, but oh no, I knew the story of Samson and Delilah, my hairs may not be the best place........(to be continued) if you have interest in publishing my work, getting it transformed into a video documentary or short film, write me and it's done.

Happy New Year !

Children & Youths Cry for Educational rights in West Africa

Almighty sun has the right to shine by day, but it gives way to the moon at Night, Little birds has the right to sing the songs of their life, and fishes own the oceans, but here in West Africa, the basic educational rights of youths and children has been denied. The average and poor ones will never feel the four walls of a class room, their dreams die with them, and their world roasts in agony.
We are crying aloud from West Africa, and we want the world to hear our voices...
The education system  in West Africa is facing monumental challenges. Reflecting resource inefficiencies and misallocations in the composition of public spending across educational levels, and poor quality of schooling from elementary to higher education, gross enrollment rates both at the primary and secondary levels are
low, even when compared with the averages for Sub Saharan Africa. Grade repetition and dropping out of primary school before completion are serious problems. Few children proceed to lower secondary school. For those who do make it to secondary school, repetition continues to be a problem. Girls are at a particular disadvantage. Across all grades, repetition and dropout rates are systematically higher for girls than for boys.
What do we do to control all these, without sound education, our people shall remain in abject poverty. we must not let them ruin us..yes...yes...my bakery is sober...i shall bake this story for the world to read
When the issue of West Africa educational system today is raised, the first sets of thoughts that comes to my mind are: decline in standard, deterioration of facilities, examination malpractices, mass promotion syndrome and the like before any other thing else. This calls for an in-depth study and analysis aimed at tutoring each and every stakeholders in the education system on how their actions and inactions have individually and collectively contributed to the collapsing state of education in West Africa
Among children that do progress through schools, there is considerable concern about the extent of learning and cognitive outcomes. Issues of quality of teachers, characteristics of school infrastructure, supplies and equipment, the home environment and parental background, all represent concerns over the value added of going to school, and may depress demand among parents
Going by these explanation as to what education is, in relation to the state of education and its process in our region today as well as the attitude of its providers-Government at all levels and private investors; one with interest will be compelled to ask such questions as what has actually gone wrong considering the enormity of its effect on the output. We shall wait no more, i call upon my fellow youths, children and those parents that has our love in their heart, let us arise and let the world hear our tears....Arise my people, let us embrace our Educational rights...Join Our Cry for Educational reforms in West Africa.
