This place focuses on what goes on everyday of the millions who strive to feed their belly, hustling day and night to meet-up with the far-reach existence the hand struggle to sustain. Passing through this “hustling quarter” when in the bus, or possibly exercising the limbs, eyes won’t deny look to see how boys, girls, mothers, fathers, the old of the same people from different tribes in Nigeria come every morning to dig the meaning of life from this meaningless society, where life already is always slaughter by the sword of the faces screen on television that chronically makes the poor bleed agony in experiences, and even psychologic

When we live under oppression and wanted to end it, we continue keeping the flame burning always no matter the cost. This has being the objective of many freedom fighters, who think oppression is a killer disease in an exploitative system of expropriation. . But how sustaineous can the flame continue burning even when things get tough and critical. The motive of this is because histories never abstract in event, as those acclaim freedom have quenched the flame with their hands, instead of sustaining it. And the result of such consequences is ideas walking into limbo. Why the flame shouldn’t be quenching? Is because, these revolutionaries called socialist in their long history of struggle of building the mass in ghetto, has proven steadfastness in theory and practical. They have shown that they had duty to humanity, to theirselves and also, changing world to better place. The screen portrayed and talks the very day the government Jonathan unleash an attack on the mass, when the oil

               When talk of the future it raises many thought that cling the heart. How will it look like? Will it be brighten? Will her dreams come to pass? How soon shall it be? Where does tomorrow going to trek? Which route is the possibility and probality? Is it going to be thorny? Will heart faint when eyes can’t b bear any longer? Who shall fingers point to?

Is it vision or system? Not to miss meaning to interpretation in material relativity is to clear definition. To think vision is a smooth road to the future speaks a falsification of reality. Vision to a great length of reasoning is narrow to collate the relativity of life and reality. This is the blink edge of saying, why vis

Living under oppression is what the heart can’t bear, the flesh wails against, and the words vomit the poison she swallowed because it kills. Oppression for generation, for centuries has lived in human society as a plague. Is all about one class dominating the other? Oppression never exists as a single entity. It exists juxtaposed with the means production. Talking of oppression is also talking of the superstructure system in various existed society. Every oppression long subsist have a modernize way of it, which go through the process of revolution as far the motive of, is to control the means of production. Why oppression is a plague, is because, the way the oppressed have been oppress by the controller of wealth, which brings to mind the struggle of thousand of workers and poor people to massively troop out to ‘vomit the poison she swallowed’. This struggle is a struggle that prove and test the strength of the might of oppressed, to confront a battle against oppression. What this

life on dirt The history of ghetto is life on dirt.   Is a life that picture how the colony of wretched faces live life? Also, is a direct explanation to expose the fallacy of government who says they are sanitizing the ghetto environment? In every part of this colony semblance of this picture tell more realistic story that the paupers’ “ live on dirt ” .   It never painted a world of beautification as the language appraisal has always goes-by by the profit government.
