TINSEL TOWN

There is an area of the Niger called tinsel town

Where many are uplifted by putting others down

In this town poverty is more abound

Despite riches seen all around

As the poor folks wonder for how long will the gari soak

Just because they are dead broke,

The rich ones lavishly transform from cloak to cloak

As if being less privileged is a complete joke

Thus, the poor now accepts life as the most unfortunate sequel

Where all fingers are truly not equal

But for change sake they’ll never cease to try and try

For who knows, one day the rich may also cry

Quote to Ponder

“We should never allow the tide of hopelessness to drawn the poor,

While the rich are safe and sound on shore.”-D.C

 

Verse to Consider

Proverbs 22:2

BITTER SWEET

It is true that the taste of adversity is bitter, but ironically it contains essential ingredients that make the taste of prosperity so much better. 

Moreover, if you really look deep into all the days of your life, you will surely see that the laughter of tomorrow is usually inherent in today's sorrow. You will also find out that there is no peace that comes with ease, and there is no happiness that is gained without distress.

Therefore, challenges of life are not meant to break you, because in truth they are simply the changes you must go through or the price you must pay for your desired breakthrough.

Quote to Ponder

 "Adversity gives us the opportunity to really appreciate prosperity."

Verse to Consider

OUR NATIONAL BUCKET

The concept of removing fuel subsidy without a sustainable remedy such as designing and implementing a master blueprint for either the establishment of new refineries or the refurbishment of old ones to the extent that they are able to successfully operate and produce at maximum capacity; is like having a leaking bucket that each time you pour water into it, water spurts out all the holes causing a lot of wastage. You can keep adding more and more water to the bucket, or you can patch up the holes.

Clearly patching up the holes or even acquiring another bucket makes much better sense as a lasting and directional solution.

In other words, our so-called leaders will most certainly create a delightful experience for us by either patching up our old national buckets (refineries) or providing us with new ones. Given that eventually, water will fill all the buckets in our possession until we begin to experience an overflow… But this just my own opinion, please let me know yours.

DARE TO BE DISTINCT

"Unfortunately we are living in a world where most people are 'disciples of the norm'. And since it is only normal for you to come in contact with such people, try to distinguish yourself by making a conscious effort to 'stand out' instead of just 'blending in'. Moreover, you must be adequately informed and in your best form to perform way beyond the norm. In any case dare to be distinct (one of a kind) in every situation because uniqueness is  indeed a major part of God's creation."

Point to Ponder

You must be adequately informed and in your best form in order to perform way beyond the norm.

CLICK AND GROW

"The democratizing and dynamic nature of the 'New Internet Economy' has created an enabling environment for all by leveling the playing fields for both big and small institutions/individuals to establish as well as showcase themselves adequately and globally. Therefore it is fundamentally critical and essential to know that in the 'New Internet Economy of the Whole Web World',you are always 'one click' away from success."

LET US OCCUPY UNTIL THEY COMPLY!!!

 "Nigeria is a sick country where patients are the ones running her hospitals.May God continue to heal us until we find good doctors. But in the main time, let us OCCUPY UNTIL THEY COMPLY!!!"

PATRIOTIC RESPONSE-ABILITY

These so-called leaders with their undying love for money

Are not only draining our economy of its milk & honey

But are also reducing our rich and fertile lands

To mere crumbs of fruitless sands

See how they change and treat our constitutions like prostitutes

In order to suite their self-fish pursuits

And without regard for the people’s need

Their corrupt deeds breeds greed

Now all over the world ours is a sad story

Because they’ve chosen to celebrate and compensate vain glory

Indeed it’s really painful to know that they derive pleasure

From looting all that we truly treasure

Therefore time is ripe enough for an inspirational revolution

And rather than just complaining I will become a solution

By empowering many people through my intellectual capacity and capability

Despite being deprived of enabling platforms to showcase my patriotic responsibility

Quote to Ponder

“A leader’s personality and authority are greatly diminished when he fails to realize that the main reason why he is a person of authority is because he was called upon and authorized by his people not only to lead but also to serve them.”- D.C
