LET'S WORK TOGETHER

After having watched this ongoing partnership between NAFDAC and CRS (Catholic Relief Service) I realised how open minded Muslims are. How dedicated they are to a shared vision of bettering Nigeria not minding whose idea it will take to push #Naija forward. 

This is what we need. Have Muslims and Christians work together to make things work for the greater good of all. 

However, I could not control being human_ a Nigerian for that matter. That bias, that prejudice, that proclivity to fault my neighbor, that inbuilt unwholesome ability to make my tent feel good at the detriment yours. You know!?  That tongue lashing superpower we tend to exude  as soon as we see those in the other camp taking giant strides towards developmental progress meant for the benefit of all. 

Recently in my hometown this CRS body provided my people with mosquito nets. As soon as this came through, Muslims sold and bought the trend via the use of public address systems in various Mosques to promote a CRS programme that will help forestall the devastating/adverse effects of malaria (an aftermath of mosquito bites). 

We the Muslims never cared about the source of this relief service. We saw the results and not the religious divide therein. 

This is the way to go. 
Not that moment when the other camp will initiate a beneficial initiative for all and someone will be shouting,  "they are trying to Islamize Nigeria"

No let #Islamophobia kill you. 

Salamun Alaikum wa Rahmatullah wa  barakatul.

I QUIT!

Image
At some point I figured out that I shouldn’t care too much as to owe you any explanation for quitting and what I’m quitting but then I’ve come to the acceptance that there’s a lot to learn from anybody’s story no matter how insane it may seem or sound. This is not me saying, it’s me doing. I quit! Yeah. It’s no joke buddy. It’s been a long time coming. Trust me. To My Employer; I’ve held the notion that you are always on my neck. You see to it that I must resume work early and close late, that I must not get emotional/personal when I perceive that my rights are being transgressed by clients/customers just so I don’t turn them away to competitors. That everything must be in perfectly working condition as well as meeting or beating deadlines set by all means. The thought of doing all these ‘for you’ stresses me and most times bring thoughts of exiting from your organization. I’m almost wrinkled from the frowns I wear when you make distasteful remarks either about me or my colleagues

THAT PILE OF SHIT IS YOUR BEST SHOT

We've all got tales to tell. You know, it's a gift to be able to tell tales because #DeadMenTellNoTales. However, these tales are in the past and not to be resided in but referenced. Someone once said, 'you'll never amount to no good' (but then, God is the Best and He is my Creator). Another told me, 'you can't even rhyme well and you want to do music?' (I did a couple of songs and when I stopped, same person begged to sponsor my music if I agreed to do more). Then again I started working out and another told me to stop wasting time,  'guy you go just grow veins full body. You never eat well you wan dey carry iron abi?' (now he, his cronies and a lot of other people want tips about healthy exercising from me). 'you can't even construct good English and you want to study journalism?' I once was told. (now I have a degree in mass communication and a blog same person reads from today). Have you ever been told, "I'm disappo

TEAR DROPS FROM A SLICED ONION

Love makes of man a worm that lurks in the shadows. Soon to be trampled, crushed or smitten. It is unsafe and walled by insecurity_ uncertain and grilled by fear. It is prey and left to the mercy or otherwise of a predator called time. Dim and deemed weak. It cannot fight nor even defend its existence. Those in whose hearts love thrive, live like hosts to recalcitrant viruses. Becoming retarded versions of a once unequivocal species who hitherto bathed in freedom_ now chained down by illusions of a blind mind which sees but nothing. Frail, feeble, fragile it is, yet it crawls and sometimes finds itself in rocky hearts almost with the speed of telepathy. Bringing kings, heroes and sometimes villains face down on muddy soils like steel chains holding still a log of wood to a moving truck. So it leads us like blindfolded grown ups being led by the fog while trusting and thrusting the self unto and into depths of a fatally irrevocable self inflicted accident. If anything, it does n
