Here is our number-five selection from Dr. Jerry Agada’s labor of love, 500 Nigerian Poets. This Aboki Publishers volume, shipping from 43 New Bridge (Otukpo) Road in Makurdi, Benue State, sings with diversity. It remains a rich tapestry of creative vision.

E.A. Ameh is an Associated Professor of Language Education. He is a member of the Association of Nigerian Authors of Benue State.

Since he wasn’t the first and won’t be the last president to address the nation’s youth, it’s peculiar that claims and fears circulated that Barack Obama would somehow “indoctrinate” children during his recent back-to-school address. After all, everyone knows that America is a free country, while indoctrination only happens in foreign countries like North Korea… Right?

I started blogging effectively about food in 2009. This collection compiles 11 articles over the year, recording my quest for health, micro-activism and miniature protests against the evil effects of American agribusiness.

So I have mentioned food on my Blog well before 2009—but a 2007 article like “The Odwalla Shake Luxury” is just plain wrong. My intention here is to save what I consider ‘healthy’ writing about food instead of historical moments featuring foods that are not healthy over the long term.
