  • The Power Of Words

    The Power Of Words

    The quest to conquer

    A sole element of human destruction

    An insatiable appetite to remain relevant

    It often sprout from failure to remain united

    Enemies creep in to explore the loophole

    Sanity goes into disarray…

    The sounds of the gong,

    Joyful chattering

    Incessant cry of the children,

    Chatters of adult,

    Men and women tranquility.

    Boom!Boom!!Boom!!!

    All lost,

    Wailing in the market place

    The children are excruciatingly helpless

    And the women and elders mourn,

    The feeble are left behind

    The wise one are far away in strange land

    Captured into captive

    The women and children, rendered homeless

    The elders, living a life far worse than death

    The one with father becomes fatherless

    The one with mother, motherless

    The land, Desolate and Deserted

    Every single war ever fought started with a logical dialogue

    Words they say is mightier than sword,

    Capable to rebuild and destroy,

    A peaceful dialogue saves nation,

    Our children happy

    Our youth untainted

    Our women chattering

    Our men productive

    Our talent useful and usable,

    And our land prosperous.

  • Emptiness

    Emptiness

    Life is sweet in it fullnesss
    The assumption of it is oblivion
    The past we can’t nevertheless change
    The present we accept
    But the future we never know
    We move with the wave of time
    We assume,we make predictions
    But the full knowledge we never have
    We live life in a void

    A kind of emptiness we feel everyday
    The next step in journey of life
    We never know .
    At times you struggle hard to do something
    It fails
    But many a time, you get it easily done without delay
    At times you struggle hard to get it.

    You feel like doing something great
    But you don’t know how or
    Where to start and begin
    The choice is yours either to sit down
    Or build yourselves to a greater person
    And allow time to take charge
    Human struggle is nothing
    Without God..
    At the edge of every human success is God.

  • Plane: A symbol for success or A mere means of transportation?

    Plane: A symbol for success or A mere means of transportation?

    In 1903, the Wright brothers invented and flew the first airplane, this was recognized as “the first sustained and controlled heavier-than-air powered flight”. 

    Why was plane invented?

    Airplanes are important because they are capable of transporting parcels as well as people to the other side of the world in less than a day. Airplanes deliver quick supplies to remote locations in emergency situations and restock military operations. Airplanes also improve medical care by quickly moving patients from rural areas to large medical centres and transporting organs to distant locations for transplants. Before the advent of safe and convenient travel by airplane, journeys took much longer and were more difficult. That’s why invention of airplanes was considered important.

    Now to the main gist….

    A plane is simply a means of transportation.

    Dear Africans, 24 hours in Ukraine, United States of America, United Kingdom is same as 24hours in Nigeria, Ghana, we only experience time difference, please stop putting pressure on your brothers and sisters in diaspora. Depression is real. (more…)

  • The invisible hand

    The invisible hand

    The universe is full of wonders, some are obvious at sight, some are conceived in our minds, some as a result of unresolved puzzle of mysteries, some by eventualities of dreadful events. The wisdom and knowledge of our sages and scholars are sometimes embarrassed which makes it more traumatizing for people with faith to wonder why some would come to conclusion that, ” arguably, there’s God ”.

    But alas! Humans have the freedom and right to choose whatever he believes in. There is scientific explanation for almost every occurrence that is there to think about; like what keeps the oceans at its banks, what orchestrated the various landscape we have, the funny slopes of some mountains, the lightning, the thunder, the rain, the sun, the stars, the absence of some of them sometimes, and what regulate them.

    The debate of God’s existence or not is a typical one that may not be won on either side. Nevertheless, there’s one essential factor we all trivialize despite knowing its importance and ability to change the mentality of any mortal being when its wall collapsed our health. It’s never a big deal when intact, a man can vow, vouch, threaten, prove, demonstrate and convince several thousand even millions to think from his perspective to accept a policy, a doctrine, a religion, a thesis or even a judgment. But the moment his health fails, nothing else in the entire world matters much to him anymore, as they are secondary to his real need. 

    At some point, a sick person irrespective of his belief in God, questions the supposed Supreme being, questions the universe, questions their own subconscious being, seek spiritual aid and hopes for a miracle. The expertise of the doctors means nothing to the patients at those points… Their wealth, achievements and past glory hold no water. Even the poorest of all men who had lived a life full of hardship would still hope for this miracle and hang on to life. But does that make health the so-called God? Oh NO! What about the miracle in quote? 

    Why are humans always submissive at the loss of their health? Why do they shift grounds at those moments? Why do they tend to give room for more love and affection with their family members and friends at those critical moments? Of all questions, that is valid, ” Is there God ” should never have been one of those but if you ask me if God is an entity, I wouldn’t have an answer to give you because, in every single thing around you, there’s always one thing beyond your explanation, understanding or description. 

    LOVE OTHERS WHEN YOU STILL CAN. 

  • Let’s talk about Skin Bleaching.

    Let’s talk about Skin Bleaching.

    Black is beautiful,

    Black don’t crack, 

    Love your skin, it’s your glow.

    You are perfect.

    About five years ago, I wrote an end of thesis that was focused on “Reading Images and the representatoion of black people in text books and Encylopedias ” It focused on beauty and the way people do everything possible to enhance themselves  to look fairer and whiter, unfortunately, it is still the case as of today with more sophisticated products.
