Muwonleru

Thought I should explain why I chose the word/name/phrase 'Muwonleru' as the blog address.
Those that are familiar with the Yoruba tv series made movie AGBARA NLA (ultimate power) would wonder if this is wise...... relating to the fact that 'muwonleru' was as set in the series a remote village with its people under spiritual bondage.....bondage being the key word and as Nigerians aren’t we all worried about our spiritual welfare regardless of what faith we have chosen be it Christianity, Islam or even the  Traditional practices
Well back to the point of discussion, why did I choose muwonleru? I choose to refer to this word or phrase as a literal representation of being trapped, enslaved if you may by words. Those of whom at the tip of their tongues or pens could blindfold the mind of many if minds were to have eyes of course. An untrained mind would unwillingly let their mind wonder and stray because of spoken or written ABC.....
Frankly, I love these people and I have therefore, committed my free time (call me jobless) to writing perhaps you too would be marvelled by words.... permit me to waste your time have a little read of what I have to say .
PS I shall also include things that are enraging my mind so endure my prolonged hogwash....
Welcome to drum roll please......... MUWONLERU

Teach me to write

Though I wrote,
my words were not clear.
You held my hand,
still my words were crooked,
still you never let go and spoke the words to me.
You not only taught me to write.
Your care gave me inspiration.
