Piary is a collection of poems that shows the dynamic nature of a young man whose identity takes not a spell when it comes to unanswered questions in the society and unsaid beaut of nature. This book of poems features an ancient poetic form which is on its own beautiful when used properly. It is called ACROSTIC POETRY.

It also gives an account of what the world has turned into as it talks about sex, identity, culture, religion, feminism, fame and other vices the poet faced. The word 'Piary' was coined from 'poems' and 'diary' by the poet. If you ask the poet what 'Piary' means, he will tell you it means 'a poetic diary'.

Piary: Diary of a Pensive Poet


In the play, Igala Women, little regard is given to women from what is perceived to be the acceptable demeanor of a man in the heart of a village in the Northern Parts of Nigerian. Aduke, Ajifa, and Iye Rekiye who represents a chunk of women who desire freedom from silence, domestic violence, emotional trauma and abuse, fight dearly for it after discovering that all they had believed to be true culture may as well as be regarded as untrue and fake.

This comes to them after weighing what they had to suffer and bear just so they will not be punished by the gods of the land. They are angry. They want freedom from it all and the only way this can be achieved is by taking the bull by its dreary horn without looking back.
