The Session That Ended 2013!

Marking the last session of the year 2013 was rather an event than a weekly session. People showed up in high-spirits and non was disappointed with the entire show and presentations.

When you come for the session you get prepared to ‘think’. The entire room attempted composing a poem with one line contributions from any who desired and if your muse is not in touch with you, just place your hand against your chest to be skipped. Exciting lines reeled out, then the discussion began with the topic: ‘You don’t teach a person in love with you how to love you’. Usual of the discussions is a trashing of the topic to a rational end. However the conclusion was both satisfying and encouraging.

The topic was one out of three suggested and after being most voted for. The other topics were ‘talent is not enough’ and the third which was later stated by the person who asked to have no actual conclusion was ‘what is the purpose of meaning’?

The major guest was a spoken word poet all the way from Abuja; Bashiru ‘Bash’ Amuneni. Bash opened the evening with a thunderous presentation that set the evening’s pace. There was surely going to be no dull moment. Su’eddie Agema author of the poetry collection Bring Our Casket Home: tales one shouldn’t tell’ did a short story smoothly. The story; engaging and vividly easy-to-connect piece was a great piece to listen to in a beautiful narrative he did.

PurpleSilver’s spoken word poet and rapper Orgem ‘Urge’ Abanyi did one his hiphop like presentations that bound all to their seats to see the end of the show by all means.

Urge has a unique way of delivery; we should have a video of his presentations online soon.

Bash came up again to give a thrill of spoken word, the popular ‘Don’t Ask Me Why’ but not before enticing everyone with ‘Isi-ewu’; a spoken-word product of experience.

Bash had about five presentations and each was both welcome and ones never to forget.

The final presentation for the evening was PurpleSilver’s rock artiste and Thirdlead band leader Robert Gar who presented two great songs.

Unwillingly it was ‘time to let go’; of the evening’s session like the title of one Robert’s songs that he did wonderfully on the guitar and we left to convene to a greater session marking the first in the year 2014 which would hold at the same venue on KM 3 Gboko Road, opposite BSU Teaching Hospital, Aper aku House at 4:30pm. Don’t miss this next!!
