ELO FOKAN BALE

Image
REPORIENTATION Elo Fokan Bale The best song to sing this season is Elo Fokan Bale. Even when prices of commodities are triple - Elo Fokan Bale. And when ritual killings have become the order of the day - Elo Fokan Bale.  The safety of both high and lowly is not guaranteed due to kidnapping- Elo Fokan Bale. The rate of suicide increases on a daily basis - Elo Fokan Bale. Children now become orphans because parents kill themselves over a pot of soup - Elo Fokan Bale. Promiscuity has become a means of escape from hunger - Elo Fokan Bale. We can go on and on to mention the ills this country is facing presently but in all we have to truly Fokan Bale with the hope that this too will pass. We need to be intentional about our lives so that this season won't turn us to monsters and make us do the regrettable like the ones whose hearts have been seared with hot iron.  ... and for a better Nigeria, I am intentional about my deeds THE REORIENTATORS ✓0301 Facebook: REPORIENTATION X:TEAM RE...

MY AGRICULTURAL JOURNEY 1

Image
        MY AGRICULTURAL JOURNEY 1 My first agricultural journey was one I took as led( nooooo, don't ask me who led me). It was days away from my Passing out Parade from National Service when the battle started in me,  "what will you do, thence?"  I knew not what the next step should be, obviously. The NCCF Ekiti state conference brought me to the table with Pastor Adetunji Aribasoye a farming farmer, the great CEO of LAWRAC FARMS ADO-EKITI. Just as he was taking his part of the programme, my spirit was trumpeting, "the man is here and the  time is now." Though, I was behind the camera during the programme as one of the members of the media team, it didn't stop me from jumping out of the hall after his teaching to say, "God bless you, sir." Did I say that? I am sure I didn't, it was my prayer request I brought before him. The great man was excited to grant my prayer request of being an intern on his farm and gave me his contact address. I never...

ÒTÈ

REPORIENTATION ÒTÈ The humming of bees is all that creeps into the ears They erect their abode just behind the walls And great shall be the shape of the rubble on their scalps The fall of the skies won't be a danger to just one Shhhhhh, two will not just inherit the pains for all The soup is cooked with the mouth of two and the feast sponsored by three They said the eyes of "Lagbaja" was found in the mouth of "Tamedo" Boom! It becomes pandemic, peace thus become a topic for historians "Egbìnrìn òtè" The end of which is non-existent Family against family Wounds that never heal It becomes the games of generations Purposes and destinies receive torture And gbam!  Glories with fortunes are murdered A mouth that doesn't rest sets the world on fire And explanations without evidence can never be short No one hoes fault towards themselves They only plan and spread the shame like wildfire Boo! They dash him away unto solitude He enters reservation mode and ...

TAP

Image
  REPORIENTATION TAP "It takes two eyes to reproduce but takes two hundred eyes to raise the child." That is the Yoruba saying that explains this theme clearly. The existence of the taps tagged public is becoming history in our society. Although, the recent generation may have no experience of such, the older generations will always smile at a flash of its memories.  The public taps are open classrooms in the communities in which they are errected. These classrooms are meant to raise loving and disciplined children. Children play and learn from one another and from the elders. They are trained up in the culture of the society which sticks with them eternally.Youths are taught the way up. The good are encouraged here while the bad and the ugly are corrected and remanded. Everyone get their character moulded in the presence of great role models. Battles and parties; wars and friendships are regular shows at the station. Trucks of information and invitations travel quickly witho...

OUR HEAD

Image
REPORIENTATION OUR HEAD Like the proverbial statement in South Western Nigeria, "The head must never be misplaced for walking as the feet." In Nigeria today, it's quite obvious that several of the social ills we are battling with are a result of leadership crisis. One cannot but ask that, what is the chief problem constituting nuisance to the progress and development of our dear country? Is it about the people in leadership or the nature of followership.  One thing that stands sure is that we all are Nigerians before anybody assumes any role, serving in the interest of the country. The head is to provide direction, coordination, reasoning, support, insights, wisdom and lots more for the overall successful positioning and advancement of the body. Without the head, the entire body would be useless and unproductive.  The situation of things is getting rougher on a daily basis because we've lost touch between our head and body due to many natural and artificial factors li...

JUST BEFORE THE COUP D'ÉTAT

Image
 REPORIENTATION JUST BEFORE THE COUP D'ÉTAT We are better may just be at speech; being better is best shown in actions. Taking what's not yours is nothing but a cloaked theft just as colonization is but a planned robbery. A group of terrorists agreed to oppress the helpless in disguise. They carefully chose their baits to get their victims because they see the value and aesthetics they can't match. Only desperate people organize a coup, their greed fuel the revolution and the end there of is worse than the beginning. Taking by force what belongs to others is simply encouraging chaos on a canoe offshore. A great robber can not make life easy for all, he will never give up his business.  Who chases a rat away and makes a cat oversee a plate of fried fish and laughs last? The coup may not always produce good leadership, things become even worse under their administration. But just before executing the coup, consider your ways carefully. A good life can never be attained via an...

SAME WAVELENGTHS

Image
REPORIENTATION     SAME WAVELENGTHS The world is busy, yes, it really is. The business of futility is what delights her, she moves about a point without rest like the hand reading seconds on grandfather's clock. Who will rescue who? No one shows up when their enemy is in agony. When the saviour can't rescue the oppressed being oppressed right before his very eyes with his over ability, it effortlessly explains that he gave the whip to the oppressor in the beginning of times and seasons. Let somebody stop acting green as though they were  saints! Our cattle dogs would not even move an inch, all they want is to shine and be fine. No rush to brush, you only live once. Just once and you are planning to empty the treasury full throttle. Who doesn't want solace when we all are getting depressed by association? But remember that offices abide till the end of age but their managers change from time to time which implies that history never ends. Whatever you do will always be engr...
