Dr Fixit (Africa's Longest Poem - Volume One) QUOTES

1 " I said initially
The super spy didn't get
Embroiled in any fight?
Yes, frivolously I meant
But when anyone aims
For your life, defending
Yourself becomes your right. "

― Godwin Inyang , Dr Fixit (Africa's Longest Poem - Volume One)

2 " I have realized in
Every struggle to achieve
A good thing in life,
You'll meet opposition.
Don't be daunted,
Stay determined and focussed
And somehow you'd get
To your destination.
Obstructions are only
Artificial walls that
Are hammered down
By your doggedness.
You have to prove
You have resilience
Before you finally
Can cruise to success.
And don't be surprised
That success brings
Everyone wanting
To hop into your bus –
They would hug, hail
And cheer; everyone would
Celebrate you, of course.
Everything you do,
Do it well and this
Would bring you every
Single friend and fan.
In everyone is the streak of
A champion: we step out
With our talent to further
Our fabulous plan. "

― Godwin Inyang , Dr Fixit (Africa's Longest Poem - Volume One)

3 " To be big is good
But big is not absolutely
Everything in life there is.
Common sense more often
Than strength and might
Wins the ultimate life’s race.
In life, it does not
Matter what are
Your endowments or age.
Just pray for the nous
To use what you have got
To your greatest advantage. "

― Godwin Inyang , Dr Fixit (Africa's Longest Poem - Volume One)

4 " If you think rules, laws,
Doctrines and ideals are
Meant to order humans;
The chaos they cause
Shows they are nothing more
Than a bunch of nuisance.
Or rather, the human is
So stiff-necked, he's always
Kicking against the rule.
Yes also, the human is
So self-centred, she's always
Cornering the common pool. "

― Godwin Inyang , Dr Fixit (Africa's Longest Poem - Volume One)

5 " Of course, mission aborted
Is what happens
To a spy who goes
Chasing some fry.
The super spy must
Keep constantly
The big picture
Before his very eye.
Quarrels or fights
Or romance should
Not move the spy.
The super spy
Must always play
The real tough guy. "
