Mr Alhassan Rabiu Digs Deep into the word '' LEGACY ''

By -
Many will say, Poetry is a form of literature that uses aesthetic and rhythmic qualities of language such as phonaesthetics, sound symbolism, and metre to evoke meanings in addition to, or in place of, the prosaic ostensible meaning, others will say its an art form in which human language is used for its aesthetic qualities in addition to, or instead of, its notional and semantic content, either way Mr Alhassan Rabiu has a special way of captivating his readers and pulling their memories back and forward, east and west, up and down, and guest what, readers enjoy this ride of his. Here is Mr Rabiu latest poem.  
LEGACY
When the rivers 
of sorrow dry
and the streams
of joy filled to the brim
we shall recount
the stories of yesterday 
and guide our steps
by the very humble past
We shall stand 
on the banks of the streams
and pull the hands
of they that live 
our gruesome past
we shall strive 
to create us among them 
in this hour of extending hands
When the evenings 
come with the inevitable 
and the dawns
come with news 
of our irresistible voyage 
we shall have had
our names shall be sung
in every line of the dirges
and our stories read
in every book of legacies 
for our bones and souls
shall find peace to rest
knowing we could not 
walk the paths of perfection 
but led lives worthy...
yes, lives worthy of 
the songs and stories

(Alhassan Rabiu)

Professor Hans-Heinrich Reckeweg on PORK Biological Therapy

By -

In World War II, soldiers in North Africa were taken ill in ever increasing numbers. They were suffering from abscesses of the lower part of the leg called “tropical ulcers”. These ulcerations left the soldiers unfit to fight and necessitated lengthy hospital confinement, often requiring their removal to more temperate climates. Every possible form of treatment as well as chemical therapy was exhausted without positive results. It was then suggested that these leg ulcers could possibly be connected with the soldiers’ eating habits, as the natives showed no signs of this disease. Rations to the soldiers were then based on a diet free from pork, much like that eaten by the Islamic population. This resulted in the immediate relief of the leg ulcer syndrome. During the lean years of the war and especially those after the war, the health of the population was, practically speaking, good. Few people could ...
