To Femi; a Poem to a Bloody Blogger

inset Efemena Adagama in an Art Class.

I appreciate the poem written to me by Efemena Adagama but I do not consider myself as intelligent. In fact, I have never deemed it fit to add "intelligent" to my profile. I am just myself. Creative at least.I and Efemena met on facebook and he happens to be one of the poets that I respect a lot. I have read some of his poems and have encouraged him to publish.

TO FEMI

He who meets you meets a white-haired professor
He who meets you feels the charming wisdom of OAU
And he who knows you has known literature
Is Ife not known for its intellectual rascality
and its intellectual tower of bookism spanning years
Are you not the iroko of letters and letters of ink
that have been used by us in defining its name
I spread my books on the floor - walk on
I spread my pen on the floor - walk on
He who meets you meets a white-haired professor
And I have met a white-haired professor here

So far...The Book Reviews are coming

The oxymoronic title of the pint-sized collection of poems largely ignites the socio-political satire intended by the promising poet. Armed with a simple language couched in metaphorical expressions.

The Sun

Morgan uses his lines to abhor injustice, poverty,lawlessness and ignorance. His poems evoked emotions, sympathy and regret . It is a voice from the clandestine world calling mortals to stand up and face their future, and that no excuses sufficed to remain in deplorable conditions.
The Nation

The book expresses Oluwafemi's candid view of the ( Nigerian) society in which he lives.
Tell Magazine

Via satiric pieces, the author questions the lack of progress caused by recalcitrance etched in the hearts of those at the helm of affairs. And if you don't agree with his angst rhymes and endless fatalism, you will be subdued by the veracity akin to them.
ThisDay
Politically blunt and an outpouring of a fearless pen handled by a filled skull; the book provides a graphic perspective on variegated happenstances shaping the metaphoric thinking of the motley occupant of the Nigerian landscape. It is more than just a collection of poems.
Ayodele Obajeun
Scribbler and maker of travelogues

This collection is a brewery of the pains of the societal squalor . The music
of silence is betrayed by the dialectics of drummings, using laughter and dance to liven the rhythm of mass resistance...the poet has made a clear stand.
Kunle Ajayi
Author, I Will Write a Poem

The title, Silent Drummings may be taken to mean the quiet or gentle pangs of the oppressed, the disposed, the poor and the suffering masses of the Nigerian/African society. The work is set in a post-colonial era, exposing the horrors of tyranny...
