My Pen by Hamza Wankari

My pen lying in my hand

In between my finger and thumb

Dancing day and night

Bleeding on paper

Creating link between thoughts and words

When I had learnt to stay in a bookish cage

There's power in you, my pen

My translator of feelings

Letting you flow and flood

One day you will run dry like a stream

A Waist Without Beads by Hamza Wankari

 

A waist without beads

Is a waist without worth  

Cool-blooded like a piece of meat

In a waste bin for a weevil

Waddling in confines unashamedly

Which cannot waggle a man

To a warfare against his own will

Knowing such cannot whet appetite

A waist without beads 

Is which cannot drive man to wetland

For which he cannot warble

Nor worship nor warp

Like a hot metal out of fire

Wary of weighty matters 

Amidst the warmth of the night

Like a coin which cannot whimper

At gentle touch

To bend a man to whim

But whacking the fold unperturbed

BREAKING NEWS: His Excellency Governor Ahmadu Umaru Fintiri to Begin Construction of Flyovers in the State

  His Excellency Governor Ahmadu Fintiri

               

                Writer: Hamza Wankari

Adamawa State Government has broken silence over the long announced flyover projects in the state. The state government has today shone green light to embark on the long awaited infrastructural developmental project in Jimeta Local Government Area of the State.

The development was disclosed by the Commissioner of Works and Energy Development, Alh. Adamu Atiku Abubakar, who described the earlier romoured news that the planned flyovers  would remain  utopian projects,   as handiwork of mischief makers, buffoons, who do not want to see the progress of the state in all ramifications.

It could be recalled that the Fintiri's administration announced its intension to abate infrastructural challenges to the minimum across the state about six months ago. Subsequently, this has given rise to doubt to the credibility of his ( governor) claim.

Alh. Adamu Atiku Abubakar, the Commissioner of Works and Energy Development, further added that the planned areas on the blueprint include Police roundabout, Mubi roundabout, Pz roundabout and Total.  These areas are believed to face worse congestion than any other area in the metropolis.

He also confirmed to the      DAILYSTORIESUPDATE that the move to secure 17billion naira loan was part of the committed effort to ensure the success of the flyover projects. He enjoined the citizens of the state to sustain faith in their experienced style of government. 

As of the time of interview, it was gathered that Adamawa State House of Assembly (ADHA) has put pen to paper in the affirmative to the governor's 17billion naira loan request from the financial market. The funds are to partly be used for the erecting of flyover bridges.

BREAKING NEWS: T-first Movement of Nigeria to Resume Campaign Nationwide - dailystoriesupdate

         
             

Writer: Hamza Wankari

.

T-first, a movement not affiliated to any political party or movement or to any religious organization or interest group. It is a think-tank devoted to the analysis of teachers' challenges and of the ways to restore their lost glory in Nigeria.

For a few months, the movement's campaign has come to a  stop nationwide. The decision came following a short meeting, held among the stakeholders of the organization.

The T-first founder, Omar Muaz, on 8th June, confirmed that the movement would resume its campaign soon in full gear across the country.

He, on the T-first official page, wrote, "In these tough days of Coronavirus pandemic, teachers, more especially in private schools experience a lot of payment challenges. For months, a great percentage of them have not seen notifications of alert from their respective employers"

 "He added, "There  are states in Nigeria, where teachers' salaries are cut down by a certain percent, according to their pays. This inhumane, self-centered, callous act shouldn't be done to our future builders, teachers. We strictly condemn this act in strong terms and we call on the government to do justice."

The founder continued, "Therefore, soon, Teachers First Movement of Nigeria (T-first) will resume its campaign on her page. Member of the movement should note, however, that resumption date will be communicated via the same medium, as well as the campaign, now E-campaign as a result of COVID-19.

He pulled the knob, finally, by enjoining his members to come back to service in high spirits for the difficult task ahead.

LUSTFUL AND LONELY

- Umar Al-farouk-

She took him in her mouth, not because she had to, but because she wanted to. It had been so long since she’d tasted him… smelled him… felt him. She needed to have him inside of her in every way possible.
She moved down in the bed and closed her eyes as her lips moved up and down his sizeable thick shaft. He was already hard, as hard as rock.  She could feel every inch of his rippled texture under her tongue as she licked him up and down, to and fro. He groaned of pleasure, his hands ran down the backs of her thighs. Her head bobbed up and down more rapidly as she sucked him between her lips. He tasted so good… just as good as she remembered.

It had been only weeks, but it felt like months, or even years. He had traveled away for business and her bed had immediately turned into a desolate landscape of aching wanting. The miles that separated her from her lover were difficult to endure. Although they could talk on the phone, she could not reach out in the middle of the night to seek his comfort when she woke up . She could not feel the warmth of his body next to her. She could not run her hands over and through the thick hair on his chest and head. She couldn't do any of these things while he was away. The only thing possible for her was touching herself, and imagining that he was there with her.

Many times she touched herself during those long weeks as she awaited his return. She stripped her body completely naked and stretched her long, slender legs out on her bed. She ran her hands over her large, full breasts, pulling sharply on her nipples until they stiffened under her touch. She moved her hands between her legs, cupping her soft mound and sliding her fingers between her slick, wet folds. Many times she brought herself to orgasm in those long, lonely weeks, yet it was not enough—it could never be enough. She needed him. She needed to feel his thick, hard cock penetrating her. She needed to feel his warm, muscled torso pressed against her body. She needed his lips on hers, kissing her, tasting her, wanting her as much as she did.

He had returned in the middle of the night and slipped into her bed. It had was like a dream. Now it was morning, and finally she could have him again.
Her tongue moved languidly up and down his shaft as she took him deeper inside her mouth. Her head followed the movements of her hand that was sliding back and forth on his cock, her fingers wrapped tightly around his pulsing member. She was excellent at giving oral pleasure, and truth be told it turned her on to do so—it turned her on so much that she moved her other hand down between her legs and began to tease herself.
He let out a quiet groan, just to let her know he enjoyed what she was doing. She smiled. It was dawn already, and there was no need for noise. They could fuck wildly all afternoon and all night, but for now, their tender reconnecting was one of soft gasps and quiet whispers. That was enough.
His hands roamed her body, grabbing mounds of her breasts through her small cotton tank top. He cupped her smooth buttocks, squeezing them in his powerful hands, demonstrating to her how much he, too, had missed her.
She released him from her mouth and moved up and kissed him. She pressed her body against his, her hips moving in little circles, showing him how desperately she wanted him. His hand moved down between her legs. His finger slipped between her soft folds. He found her clit and flicked it rapidly, arousing her desires to even greater highs. She cried out softly. She couldn’t last much longer. She needed him inside her.
Moving quickly she rolled over and faced away from him. He raised her leg and pushed his hips between her thighs. She felt his cock at her wet entrance. Slowly he eased into her. She could feel her inner walls opening, taking him deep inside her. She gasped as he pulled back out then thrust into hher.Her mind went blank. A deep heat began to burn in her loins. He spread her thighs open and began to thrust into her more forcefully. Her breasts heaved up and down. His tongue devoured her mouth. They were reconnecting in the way she had so desperately yearned for all these weeks.

Her painted toes danced in the air as he thrust into her. Over and over again their bodies crushed together, his powerful thighs slapping against her soft skin.
He slowed down, then sped up, then slowed down then sped up again. His tempo kept her on the edge. Once again her hand found her clit. She cried out as he drove into her deeper and deeper. Then he stopped, and slid off the bed. His head moved between her legs, his lips finding her soft folds. She moaned as he held her hips in his hands and licked her furiously. She dragged her fingers through his hair, pressing him to her. She could feel herself growing wetter and wetter. His tongue was relentless. Her heels pressed against his shoulders, digging into him. She needed him so badly. His hand moved up her belly, pressing her down into the soft bed as he continued to lick her. The teasing was simply too much to bear. She pulled him toward her, begging with her eyes for him to enter her again with his cock.

He did not need to be asked twice.
Pinning her down onto the bed he drove his cock back into her as deeply as he could. Her body shook as he worked his long shaft into her. She moaned with the delicious pleasure, yet still she needed him in her even deeper. She pushed herself up and turned around, then offered her back side to him. He took hold of her hips and drove his cock into her from behind, hitting her so deeply she could only gasp. He pulled her toward him then reached around and cupped her breasts. He held her to him, her back pressed against his chest as he remained deep inside her. They paused, taking a moment to breathe.
He let her go. She returned to all fours, this time ready to climax. He drove into her with everything he had and she pushed back against him with equal force. Their bodies glistened in sweat. Their primal cries grew louder and louder. The bed shook. The morning was no longer quiet. The bedroom walls barely contained their passion as she grew closer and closer to a final moment of pleasure. Then, it was upon her. She cried out as she came, her insides exploding in a sensation of pure bliss and electrified pleasure.

Now it was his turn. She moved over and once again took him in her mouth. She could feel his tension, his need to release. She sucked him harder and harder until he was so close she could feel it, then quickly climbed on top of him and straddled his leg. She faced away from him and held his cock tightly between her legs. She pumped him hard until she felt him explode in her hand, his body jerked noiselessly underneath her. She leaned back and collapsed onto his body.
They kissed deeply again, unable to keep from smiling at each other. Both knew the mind of the other… it was certainly worth the waiting. Another thought was also ran through her head: it was only morning, they still had the entire day to do it all again.
