Lost Boys by Bamigbola Silas
₦0.00
₦0.00Of recent, there has been a proliferation of themes associated with “boys”. From dissent about boys who suffered rape to argument bordering on the neglect of the male child, and the discourse regarding whether boys should cry or not; there is an ongoing concern about the need to turn attention to the male child, without neglecting the female child, of course!
There is some element of legitimacy here. There is an overt acceptance that the male child should know better, while the female child becomes the attention of society, with such attention overbearing and excessively protective. Since the existence of the male child is built on assumptions, society is left to deal with the consequences of his actions.
This laxity on society’s part becomes the central focus of Silas Bamgbola’s experimental incursion in Lost Boys.

Testament of a Mad Man by Samuel Amazing Ayoade
₦0.00
₦0.00Once upon a poet, there gleamed a wordblazer.
“Testament of a mad man” is the trail of fire that his poetry aims at tracing in his readers’ minds to burn them clean.
Samuel Ayoade’s collection commences with fits of fiery passion to rise crescendo to a pyre which turns out to be a bonfire. Beginning with an extended metaphor on the David versus Goliath theme, the author then offers five ardent love poems, before spreading into thirteen short pieces on a paradox called Nigeria and culminating in sixteen longer satires on the present demise of his country.
The poet flares up in flamboyant flames of poetic indignation to expose what he defines as madness. But whose madness constitutes the central question.
“Life is a dead zone”, he states. “Death lives in our veins.” The scorching violence rampant all around him feeds his most sarcastic lines, as many scorching assessments of the situation. Poems such as Cashivorus, Polimatics or Evolution of Snakes denounce poverty, inequality or corruption in a mock scientific way whose causticity feels utterly enjoyable…

Flames of Love, A collection of Poems by Olaniyi Ololade Moses
₦0.00 Buy product
₦0.00Buy productLove is a complex subject. Its eclectic nature makes it an integral theme in philosophy, religion, social and nationalistic allegiances and interpersonal relationships. Oftentimes, it is difficult to differentiate between love and lust, between love for one’s race and hatred for others. This polarity gives room for debate, thus opening acceptable views of love to questioning. For instance, central to the Christian faith is the concept of love, a sacrificial love for a noble idea. Shakespeare’s famous epic love story, Romeo and Juliet, is a celebration of romantic love, while Soyinka’s Elesin Oba, is a dichotomy between self-love and duty – a suicidal undertaking for communal bliss. In Romeo and Juliet, love is treated as infatuation, a cause of mental illness and ultimately death. For love, Romeo was willing to kill and to die, a sharp contrast with Elesin Oba, whose love for life and pleasure makes him question the honor of his family in dying to preserve the throne.
