BETWEEN AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL AND DEATH PENALTY

No electricity, no petrol, no good roads, no conducive environment, no good welfare system, no regard for the masses, no payment of salaries/pension in/on time, no respect for the electorates.

Meanwhile, there's massive looting, embezzling, corrupt practices, killing of the economy/recession, heightened inflation, massive retrenchment, unemployment cum other numerous maladies borne out of maladministration and these have pushed a lot of people into crimes like kidnapping, trafficking of humans, assassination, armed robbery and the likes. The aforementioned have contributed in no small measure to practices that bring about depression/mental illnesses, divorce (from inability to cope with bills and other miscellaneous), heightened spread of STIs/STDs (from prostitution_ as our young girls take to the profession to make ends meet), proliferation of illegal drugs as well as the abuse inherent therein.

The list is inexhaustible with adverse effects.

What's new?

Amnesty International has come up with a movement against 'Death Penalty' punishment as it is deemed inhuman and an infringement on the Right to Life.

Go back and read this post from the top and tell me if those who have contributed immensely to the drastic nosedive of our once Noble Nation's economy from its once-upon-a-time glorious bloom to this present gory doom deserve to draw breath.
Tell me if those who looted funds meant for tackling of insurgency in the North-East deserve to live.
Tell me if those who have continued to embezzle monies meant for the repairs of roads that have continued to claim precious lives and properties deserve to live.
Tell me if those who have brought our economy to its knees and have caused us untold pains through retrenchments and unemployment deserve to see another day.
Tell me if those who open their eyes and watch how those under their care are massacred whilst they do nothing (if not enjoy the scene) deserve to live.
Tell me if those who have pushed our youths into slavery in other parts of the world deserve to live.
Tell me if those who care less for the development, security of the girl child deserve to live.

Do they?
I leave you to your thoughts.

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
