This is all about my school.

Entering FEGO was the happiest thing
Coping with FEGO was the hardest thing
Most especially as a J.S 1 boy
Waking up by 5:30 every morning
Runining to the borehole immediately after classes
Feeling home-sick after every browbeat
Eating a meal what Yorubas call Pade mi ni igunpa
Every Saturday inspection was a hell for boys
Subsequent inspection was a time of reckoning for officials
Descending on the junior ones by officials was a Sunday affair
I know that one day
One day I shall leave FEGO
Was the junior boys’ slogan
Holidays should never come because I’m enjoying school
Was the senior ones’ prayer
Every valedictory was a crying day for boys
Because every chicksing up has ended
Every escapades has finished
Seniority terminated
Lambasting from masters wound up
Every extortion, closed
Monday and Friday assemblies have all come to an end
Every FEGO life has ended
In my last days I shall shout
Great FEGO I shall shout
FEGO has really comported me
Great FEGO! Great
Great FEGO!! Great
Great!!! Great FEGO

In the Whirlwind by Tichaona Chinyelu

In the Whirlwind is a poetic storm that frees history from the cages of corruption and puts it in the hands of everyday people. Words are weaved into a new fashion statement that has nothing to do with runways but everything to do with projects!
