THE OTHER CARE

Not everything
without which
Our son couldn't do was ready
For which reason I sometimes worried
For which my nights were sleepless,
'N for which I sometimes was sad
And how else ? I am father:
Who says otherwise lies.

But, if not today,tomorrow,someday,
We shall have all necessity-
wood,bowl,stove,
dresses,nappies.....

'Tis something else agitates my mind.
It is other care shakes my inside:
That money cannot buy all.

This truth holds me entrapped
And on me is heaped the question
That when our son matures
Aside from dresses, milk and bread,
Will I from this our age
Give him that as well
That will make him a man?
-Pen'o Penev

I join BBCGlobalMinds

I joined BBCGlobalminds a few moments ago.

I can say I knew in precise terms what to expect. I certainly did not reckon on the survey I had to pass through to join, but neither was I surprised or disappointed.

I welcome it wholeheartedly as an opportunity to participate in World Debate, especially as ,in the words of Martin Luther King, I see myself as a World Citizen

I am posting this from Multiply and it is wonderful to see that I can copy it to Facebook and Twitter and I can cross-post it to any or all of my blogger posts. So,why would you not join me on Multiply?

Oh yes, I tweet !

Tweet, for those who may not know, is a way of keeping contact with people online by saying in no more than 140 letters what you are doing at any moment.

It is immediately broadcast to all your tweeter contacts and now there are many sites from which you may post your tweeter comments including from your mailbox.

Tweeter has become a powerful tool for spreading and exchanging ideas.

Oh yes, I tweet. Here is the tool I use to get tweeter followers.

An experiment in co-operative production !

I just went into a partnership with some friends to co-operatively produce a film.This, as far as I know, is innovative in Nollywood.

We would however be rendering it one of the traditional languages of the state of my residence- Akwa Ibom State- Ibibio.

Actually, we are already on location and ought to have had it wrapped today but are surely going to overshoot by a day or two. That is additional cost.

We are not very well placed in terms of cashflow, but our local nollywood community is excited about the whole experiment.

I will keep you posted as we go.
