POETRY CORNER – [ origins ], WRITTEN BY ABEIKU ARHIN TSIWAH FROM GHANA

[ origins ]

😐
some bodies survive under water
when a heart breaks 
and tears form a castle

good things happen effortlessly
like finding love in a wand
in the middle of a terrorist attack

ugly things do not survive day light
they are like alphabets
breaking into sentences in darkness

beautiful things are not always beautiful
sometimes it is just the music in their rigid bodies
that attract our feet in the sand

someone next door died a night ago
and our neighbour’s dog came wailing
like it had mistaken a stone for a bone

but you see – not everything makes sense to all men
while some are smokeless cigarettes
others are mayhem writing crustal bodies in the sand

my mother isn’t dead yet
but i cry as much as a child
whose mother died on a moon a night ago

not everyone is a product of the earth
some are dead bodies
resurrected in poems & silicon chips

on every wednesday
i want to be like a god with bones & heart
that can be broken by the hand of love

but you see – i’m no god
& i’m no spirit but biology
finding a woman to breathe life into
😐

ROLE MODEL OF THE WEEK – NKECHI UGOCHUKWU, FOUNDER OF CENTER FOR GIRL CHILD RESEARCH

Leave a reply
Nkechi Ugochukwu was born in May 19th, 1993 at Osina Community Hospital, Ideato North Local Government Area, Imo State. She is the second child of Mr and Mrs Emmanuel Ugochukwu from Eziokwu Ozuakoli Urualla in Ideato North Local Government. Urualla is one of the rural communities in the state in which its inhabitants specializes mostly in Agriculture and Small Scale businesses.
As a young girl, Nkechi was born with a physical leg condition caused by lack of vitamin D which brought series of psychological abuses and rejections from peers, family members and teachers who called her ugly and told her she will not be getting married. These abuses led to her suffering of  severe low self esteem and lack of self confidence.
 “Based on the saying that every disappointment is a blessing in disguise”, Nkechi buried her time in reading. Books and movies became her best friends and with the knowledge acquired, she conquered low self esteem by confronting the circumstances that tends to pull her down.
 At 19, she tried running an NGO that aims to help young girls overcome low self esteem, it failed due to lack of leadership qualities. Two years later, she cofounded an organization called Mind Miners Initiative into motivating young girls to become whom they really want to be. She has worked as volunteer in different local and international organizations where she focused on helping communities and individuals become the best part of them.
As a passionate girl child advocate with the goal of becoming an international girl child advocate and research consultant, Nkechi founded Center For Girl Child Research And Advocacy where she focuses on helping individuals and organizations working around gender by providing appropriate verifiable qualitative and quantitative data and also help to develop effective intervention strategies on these issues. This is aimed at eradicating gender harmful practices and abuse globally.
She hope to continue her work as a community developer with a focus on women and Girls.
