Òrekelewa: The paragon of beauty

Òrekelewa: The paragon of beauty.

Our love won't die; this is optimism

And I vow to check on your welfarism

I will accept your faults with stoicism

Because to you, there is no comparism

Òreke! I have searched the South

Before I traveled to the North

I did not find a bird like peacock

Until I found you at Babcock

I know it sounds pathetic

But I'm honestly being realistic

I know you will be ballistic

That's why I'm making my feelings poetic

Listen to my love with stethoscope

If you can't see it with microscope

I promise to take it to a wider scope

Just believe me and be full of hope

Òreke!

I want you to hug my mission

And please don't play on my emotion

As I'm ready to give you love concoction

Even at the time of tribulation

Òreke!

Everyday your love is driving me cracy

Like being in a state of plutocracy

Òrekelewa! This is not a conspiracy

But a demonstration of 'Loveyoucracy'

Can't you see your love all over my body?

Can't you see I'm dancing without a melody?

I'm captivated by your love!

Like a softly cooed dove.

Reject not my proposal

Well, I'm at your disposal

As daddy's love is doing mummy

That's how your love is doing my tummy.

DEDICATED TO ÒREKELEWA

Last year December, Members of the ASUU agreed to end a 9-month old strike after a resolution between the union and the federal government was reached. Last two weeks, the President of ASUU, Prof Emmanuel Osodeke, disclosed that there was every possibility to embark on another strike as the federal government had not met their demands agreed on in December 2020. Osodeke, in an interview with The PUNCH, accused the federal government of playing on lecturers. He reiterated the union's motive on opposing the use of Integrated Payroll and Personnel Information System (IPPIS). He had alleged that the use of IPPIS made it possible for some le...
