Wonderfully Made By Odey Goodness Ogeyi and Afolabi Kayode




Walking through this perfect night
Sniffing this perfect breeze
Feeling this perfect grass
Illuminated by God's perfect stars

I can’t but revered in the solitude
The sway of the breeze brings serenity to my soul
The peace of the night
Which stitch my broken heart.

In the splendor of these waters
l forever breathe life
Crystal clear it is
Depicting my eternal awe
ohhhh what's wonder of MY GOD

Watching the flow of the sea
Its source my eyes cannot the see
Unrestricted by nothing
The movement keeps drawing me
Take off my cloth and swim away with the current

Wonderfully made
Beautifully carved
Awesome in all creation
Who can compare with d moon's beauty
Who can claim fairer than the Sun
Who? Who? Who?

I gaze upon my garden
Beautify by flowers
Which brings smile upon my face
The smell takes my breath away
a wonderful creation of God

O thou creation
I plea this day
Forever l be thy slave
Till the creator bells call

Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...

Do you say 'talk more of' or 'talk less of'? Also, how to pronounce 'parliament'

My beautiful KIB students, today,  you will be happy learning the correct way to express yourselves. Nigerians have a way of changing typical English expressions to suit them. Someone still had to argue with me that the English expression 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't "  is so wrong and does not make sense.  He opines that angel should be there.  He forgets that English can be quite illogical to our Nigerian minds. Lol. People say things like. 'He has not even proposed talk more of walking down the aisle with me' 'He does not have a car,  talk less a house" Well these two expressions or collocations are not common in British and American English. Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned.
