When the chips are down When my dreams drown When all is unwell When life is a living hell When there's none to call When the sun seem to fall when my strength breaks When all my fears seem to wake When no one sees me When even I disbelieve me when my sins begin to kill me When my kin won't lift me When life seem a lie When death is a sure route to take When I'm jeered at for a good laugh when it seem like too much to take I remember I remember I remember that I've chosen the wrong side That I've lived in self pity That for too long have I craved for sympathy That now as always I can decide which side to take I tell myself to not let the man in mirror Sulk and wallow in pains Never to feel inferior For I must choose between pity and gains. __ Jeremiah Enaholo A.

Call me insatiable, I'll agree. But you too must agree it's a sentiment we all share_ as humans. NLC and her sister organizations have done well abi? I don't think so! To me, I smell the 'Oshio' game on display. What is Oshio game? It is an effective method of gaining political relevance in the guise that you are fighting for the people's course. Yes! Na me talk am. The leadership of NLC must prove me wrong. How? Let's put in perspective who a worker is_ one who does a job and is entitled to his/her wage on a certain agreed date/time. By this, everyone who earns salary/allowances at the end of the month (in Nigeria) falls under the umbrella of the term in view. Oga Ayuba should now push further and make moves to help facilitate a motion for a wholistic review of the wage system of our country. As an ordinary Nigerian, there are some questions I'd like to put forward: 1. Who determines what Presidents, Governors, Senators, Reps, Governors, LG c

I've seen man swear (hands on Holy Books) that by the Grace of God he'll lead men aright according to their (developmental) yearnings. I've seen men jubilate (carried away by the euphoria of the moment). So sure the Messiah has come. I've seen man vilify men for making sinister remarks about the aforementioned, saying, "he is not like your hero who plundered the treasury from boom to doom!" I've seen man hate, fight, destroy, kill for men who have sworn to protect all men. Yes! And yet fend for the man who kills to ensure their continuity in a stagnant change. I've seen change remain unchanged. I've seen the circle again and again as nothing really is changing for the man who stands under the sun (and in the rain) to empower another (via thumbs on papers). I've seen same man loss sources of livelihood to recession and retrenchment, loss loved ones to ill-health and insecurity, loss his dignity and senses. I've seen man je

Now am beginning to feel irritated by those who for no just course have decided to not use their real names (or names I can relate with)  here on fb. Do you know how much work mum and dad had to put into having you? Do you know how happy they were to have decided to bless you with names like Rukevwe, Oshione, Chigozie, Gorokwe, Onokpemuemuemu, Oluwatosin, Ibukun, Enaholo, Njokwu, Aisha, Elizabeth and the likes of other names you are now too shy to identify with? No!  You have no idea at all. Rather, You have become so enmeshed in your daily romance with the new media that though you can't speak like the Britons and Americans (no matter how hard you try) because your Udaba accent has a way of screaming 'I'm from Ekperi' you've decided to take on their names plus other numerous nonsense and relegate your identity to trash. When will you learn to copy sense from these people you've chosen to identify with? Never! You'd rather copy trash like how best to

“How fortunate for our leaders that man does not think” I once read. This to me is not completely true. Our leaders are more than fortunate but man is constantly thinking_ fact! Man will keep the thought process on for as long as there is grey matter enclosed within his cranial walls. However, the quality of his thought processes differ in different parts of the world. While some prosper by thinking their way through to developmental advancements, many of us have resorted to think things would get better as long as we are praying in patience and so we take important issues lightly and even make jokes out of issues that are threats to national interest in the process. Let me state emphatically that in the course of this discourse you may have reasons to disagree with me but I will respect that you have a right to your opinions whether contrary or otherwise. I again hope that at the end we shall find a common ground to pitch tents. Once upon a time we were held spe

And so a loud silence pierced the marrows of every red blooded Nigerian that was watching. Yes, for the first time we all agreed to unanimously maintain a fierce quietude cum raised eyelids. Wishing in unison that the referee would blow in our favour despite the obvious foul committed by our very own. So, the replay came on and on until we were all certain the ref's verdict, though just, would be detrimental to a day's win we never even anticipated in the first place. Yes. None of us saw it coming. But then we weren't deterred. As the ice man positioned the ball, I felt a chill but the beat of my heart was hell bent on warming up the rush that filled my pulse. We all were literally in this together _no tribe, religion, political party, boy, man, girl, woman, elder, youth, civil servant, force man/woman and what have you. The only bias was this, Nigeria should not concede a goal and even if, Nigeria should win. Yes Win! Winning was the goal! And disc
