THEME: AFRICAN FASHION

HUSSANI ABDULRAHIM

TITLE: NORTHERN LADY 

Just stay there looking all pretty, 

Sunlight gliding between fingers of leaves. 

You stay there looking pretty, 

Wrapped in ankara ferried from Dakar, 

Made from the oldest of indigo dye pits. 

Stay there looking all like a queen, 

With the red gloss on your sultry lips, 

And the magic of cocoa butter enslaving your skin. 

Stay there shining all bright; 

Henna patterns creeping up your hands, 

Dancing on the fringes of your toes. 

Northern lady, glowing brighter than the sun, 

Keep the kohl embracing your eyes, 

Let this beauty be preserved in your heart.

KOLADE OLAWALE

TITLE; Title  : Who are you

.

.

To the king is the crown, the staff

and beautiful robe speaking of royalty.

to the Chief is the IYUN   bead.

to a man with birth rite is SOKOTO and   BUBA

and not suit and tie like one

from a white man land.

.

to a lady is nakedness

when she wears jumping clothes

like that of a doll.

but for my beautiful ASAKE

shall I buy IRO and BUBA,

galvanized with GELE and IPELE.

for my undying love for ADUNNI

I will buy her OOSUN and LAALI

to sprinkle out her killer beauty.

the beauty that stole my heart from my chest.

.

to sorrow shall   be darkness

wrapped in   black clothes,

to the wise one of the land

shall I send white clothes,

cause to him is purity and divinity of the land.

.

In my father's house,

I need not to speak before you know who I am.
