Prince UMO: A big thanks for answering all our ten questions, House/audience is over to you to ask our guest questions, we will accept the first five questions.

THE AUDIENCE QUESTIONS

QUESTION 1
Vabec: Why did you choose to be a complicated and complex entity?

ANSWER
I didn't choose to be complex. It just happens that people find it hard to understand me. I am not exactly complicated, but people find me so complicated. So I looked at the whole thing and realized that I am complicated complexity in the presence of many. Some sort of an enigma mostly because of my ideologies that people considers out of normal.


QUESTION 2
Ayobami: Soul’e, I have seen many articles of yours on religion, some of which blast "religious bigot" as you would always put it.pls can u give the whole house your exact stance on religion...... or is that you are an atheist?

ANSWER
Soul’e Rhymez: That is a thoughtful one and also an intelligent one too. I know many of us have this in mind and I will provide answer to it.
Truly, I have heard people call me atheist. As if that's not enough, a lady once called me Satan and all I did was to smile at her ignorance.
Even in my church, I was recently tagged a borderline atheist and I wonder if these people actually know God.
Now, I used religious bigot because it is what it is. Who is a bigot? Is it not someone who believe things without verifying? If anyone believes what he's been told in his religion without verifying, then the person is fit to be called what?
Read HOW TO UNDERSTAND THE SCRIPTURES on soulerhymez.blogspot.com to learn more on this.
On my stance on religion, though I was born into a devoted Christian family, I chose to see beyond the religion and this is why I stated in the poem THE FRUSTRATIONS OF A TROUBADOUR
"we are of the same root,
but I chose my own foot."
I was actually referring to religion and my deviation from it. It is simple. I believe in Jesus Christ as my Lord and saviour, but I am not a Christian.
I have no religion.


QUESTION 3
A. Mary: Aside poetry what else do you engage in sir?

ANSWER
Soul'e Rhymez: I am an essayist, a motivational speaker, born psychologist and a relationship counselor. I am also an aspiring entrepreneur.

QUESRION 4
Prayer: Please Soul’e behind every successful man there is a woman. Please who is she behind you?

ANSWER
Soul’e Rhymez: I am succeeding, but not successful yet, so I will answer the question when I consider myself successful.


QUESTION 5
Jeoman: In poetry, is it necessary to involve any or make the poem more of dramatic?

ANSWER
Yes, it is possible, it makes it better; it is pure creativity. However, you have to put it in mind that it is poem you are writing and not a drama. Don’t forget to employ the poetic devises needed.

I Guess I am free to go now, having provided answers to all the questions?

Princess Shirly: Thank you all for your cooperation, may God bless you. Let’s meet here on Saturday next week same time.

Viggy: Congrats Soul'e

SOUL'E RHYMEZ POETRY COMPETITION SEASON1

POEM 1 And Divinity Wept Love I marvel how Divinity could ever demonstrate love A love for humanity so pure as pure as a dove: In his love was love and a love void of lust, For on the cross he bled and suffered to save the lost. He considered not the affliction and pain For with his suffering comes great gain; With his blood the sin of mankind was cleansed As perfect redemption was made that heavens may be appeased. He was the precious lamb sent to save the world, And redeem man from a life of mod; His love was divine and so he died for man to find peace; That by his death man's suffering may cease. His death brought freedom and gave man hope Of eternity and a hope for a heavenly robe, Though his suffering and agony was grave Yet he loved man so much that his life he gave. His heart of love made him endure the cross, For he died that he may redeem man from loss; Being divine his blood made man as pure as a dove Even in death, still in his heart was love.

THE RUDIMENTS OF EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION

Let ’ s start by knowing what we call Communication. COMMUNICATION As food and water is crucial to human survival, so does Communication. Communication pervades every human activity, man cannot do without it. We are engrossed in it from the time we wake up in the morning until we go back to bed in the night; from birth to death we are in perpetual state of communication. It is a phenomenon that cuts across the daily activities of human beings.

Talking about virginity to some people, you are indirectly talking about holiness, but have we ever tried to ask what the differences are? Does virginity have anything to do with holiness? Maybe we just don’t define them rightly. Now let’s define them. According to Oxford Dictionary, holy from which holiness is derived are defined as follows: 1. Morally and spiritually excellent or perfect, and to be revered. 2. Belonging to or devoted to God. 3. consecrated, sacred. [Old English: related to *whole] Let’s talk the meaning of virginity just as well. Virginity means remaining a virgin and according to Oxford Dictionary virgin is defined as follows: 1. Person who has never had sexual intercourse. 2. (The Virgin) Christ's mother Mary. 3. (The Virgin) sign or constellation Virgo. —adj. 1 not yet used etc. 2. Virginal. [Latin virgo -gin-] All the above definitions of virgin points to one thing: natural state of something; a state of not being utilized.
