...Now

I will start the task;

can’t wait any longer,

not for the sun to rise

nor the sky be blue;

I will set out and do it.

I will be instant now;

can’t snooze anymore,

not for superfluous nap

nor for inept slumber;

I will act and now.

Why I'm still Single

A new friend, after a brief chat said “my regards to your wife and kids” as a parting shot.  Before I could explain to him in my modest words, another guy just cut in “it’ll make more sense if you send those regards to cockroaches and rats in his room because he neither has a wife nor a kid.” Yekpa!  All I left the scene with was a lame grin. I went back to my cockroaches and rats; after a thought for a while I see no reason why my decision should change so suddenly especially because someone who doesn’t care about what I think of marriage made a joke out of my bachelorhood.

The rate at which people ask me when I will be getting married these days is embarrassingly becoming a thing of concern to me.

President Goodluck Jonathan's Independence Day Speech 2012

“Beloved countrymen and women, on this day, fifty-two years ago, our founding fathers brought joy and hope to the hearts of our people when they won independence for our great country. Nigeria made a clean break with more than six decades of colonial rule, and emerged as a truly independent nation. That turning point was a new beginning for our nation.

Those who witnessed the lowering of the Union Jack and the emergence of the Green White Green flag continue to relish the memory, because that ceremony was not just about the destiny of a nation, but the future of a people.

That future is here; we are the inheritors of a great legacy that goes even much farther into the past.

The Wonders of Perspective

One day, the father of a very wealthy family took his son on a trip to the country with the express purpose of showing him how poor people live.

They spent a couple of days and nights on the farm of what would be considered a very poor family.

On their return from their trip, the father asked his son, "How was the trip?"

"It was great, Dad."

"Did you see how poor people live?" the father asked.

The first few words read: ‘As we celebrate our flag and shambolic autarky at 52…’ and that’s how I knew I was in for another laugh; please don’t ask me the content of what he is trying to say because I don’t know and won’t make serious attempts to know.

Nigeria At 52, Even In Chains...

It’s 1^st of October, marking Nigeria’s Independence. Yes, Nigeria is 52

Nigeria at 52

I woke up thinking of what to post on my blog, twitter, facebook, and all that but find it difficult to think straight. I felt, to wish Nigeria well is not enough due to the highhandedness of a politically and economically powerful few who can manipulate anything at anytime to suit their personal insatiable interest even to the detriment of the politically and economically powerless millions; and most pitiably our DEAR NIGERIA.

Tranformation In Nigerian Politics by Dayo Onibiyo

LEARNING is one of the most difficult things in the world, particularly when it requires change which is unfortunately fortunate to be the only constant thing globally…

The difficulty is not seeing the change or knowing the act of the change, but facing the reality that the end of the illicit gains from the old ways which are always unprogressive, selfish, impositional and back-door arrangements have come. Euphemistically, this is referred to as “shortcut”, which is not available in the dictionary and encyclopedia of success, for if attained through “shortcut” it will always be temporary, counter-productive and disastrous for the beneficiary, on who the wrought of God is inevitable.

Is There God? What a Debate.
