Nigeria-In-Dependence

about which poem Cristina Deptula wrote that he does 'create a... musical feeling in his piece, “Nigeria In-Dependence”. He uses punctuation, and short, pointed sentence fragments to call attention to disease, poverty and violence within his home country.'

About him, Cristina Deptula, Editor of the international webzine, Synchaos wrote,
'We can also reach greater levels of understanding when we go beyond surface impressions, ideas and criticisms, as Nigerian author and social critic Ayk Adelayok does through his columns. Adelayok’s The One Whose Face is Veiled, My Oga at the Top and Ours is a Nation urge people to look beyond the promises and style of those in power to challenge their corruption, and not to dismiss as ineffective those who are actually taking the required time for critical analysis. ‘Oga’ goes beyond the political, encouraging readers to examine their own personal and intellectual foibles before making fun of politicians or blaming the system for their unemployment.'

A FEW TESTIMONIES:
'U av contributed immensly to my book. I do appreciate and salute ur intelligence. Tnk U friend. Peace.'
- KALE FEMI. Author, FROM CAMPUS TO CAMP.
'Just as Warren Buffet said he was wired at birth to allocate capital, my humble submission is that Ayk's genome is configured to examine and edit manuscripts in a grand style. His ability to fish out any culprit in a crowd of sentences is unparalleled. As for BLUEFOOT, he worked as an FBI agent and the accolades I received from its readers consolidates my assertion.'
Victor Jide Animasahun
Author, BLUEFOOT: Blueprint for a Successful Career
'Never you underestimate the power of a good piece of writing. Ayk's editing prowess brought into my book an indelible mark of meaning.'
Jimisayo Osinaike.
Author, THE RUNNING MAN.
A - Accurate
Y - Youthful
K - Knowledgeable
Ayk's accuracy as an editor is first among equals. his youthfulness compared to his knowledge as a top editor humbles me. when Ayk adds his magical touch to your book, your book will definitely go beyond borders.
AND MONTHS LATER,
Ayk is the man with the magical touch. With his impeccable editing, one of my books, Life Is Short But It's Really Worth It, travels beyond boarders and is available all over the world. even on Amazon.

At the time when hope was lost
Very near to The Point of No Return
Well beyond faith being forced
I was well tired- and worn
...
It started as a joke
But into love, my nose I did poke
To love I always knew I'd bow
But never thought the time was now
...
Forty-four years before today
You came from above
You brought us forth without delay
And now you are our love
...
I thought it was love
That from above
That was too big to be held in a clove
That couldn't be hidden in a glove
...
