Fat turds float on top
of the water well
in 9ja social waters
dressed to look like fishes:
they are not
the ones you seek,
Far below the layers of turds
you will find spring waters
Stage One
I have divided the canvas into 256 rectangles.
Next stage? To insert the alphabets of Ifa in each of the rectangles.

They thought Nigerians won no gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics that ended last week.
They don’t know what they are talking about.
How many gold medals did Nigerians win in the last Olympics?
Lots and lots of gold medals.
The creative process can be quite fun, walahi.
You give it what it takes.
Here I am making a new picture.
Olodumare laughed when the Nigerian contingents
Stood up to present their case
before the throne of the Most High.
Olodumare said, “Active and passive
are equal and opposite
to effect the law of balance.
In the beginning
I created the most talented people
In a landscape mischievously named Nigeria.
