The Reorientators

  REPORIENTATION   IN MOTION   In motion, progress should be the bedrock whether slow or fast, it may not matter but we must move. When no movement is observed, death is suspected, for it is characteristic of living things to move. When terrorists begin to move faster than a state can imagine,  trouble is logging in, when bandits device better frameworks, problem is refreshing and when abductors have better security intelligence, the Window of "wahala" is just starting.  My saying is simple; our system is not effective. The priority of a working system is the security of its citizens alike- young and old. A bad system will see no wrong in insecurity because the ones in charge always walk in armour tanks.  We have better things to invest in and security is at the base of the list. We are as vulnerable as a roofless building. Oh! We are yet to settle within our walls, how do we add ornaments to our great walls? Do we have to wait till our gates are knocked wi...

  True Love There are many national ingredients and elements that make a country to grow to the desired taste of citizens. Part of those national ingredients and elements include - patriotism, love, mutual understanding, honesty, peaceful co-existence, contentment, respect, integrity and lots more. Like a country of our status and national assets we have many things to offer the global village. However, before we go to international stage to deliver any resourceful and purposeful results we need to go national and local first as a matter of seriousness on our parts. We cannot be desirous of mending the roof of our distant villages when our own roofs are equally leaking.  If our leaders are serious at all and truly desire to portray themselves as good ambassadors of the country then let it be that they demonstrate true love and concern for the citizens with their words, lifestyles and attitudes. It's an open secret that our leaders are living large at the expense of the citizen...

REPORIENTATION EMPOWERMENT A knapsack sprayer, #5,000 plus free lunch is enough empowerment for a constituency: nothing empowers better than a full tummy, I guess. Our feeble hands are raised by their free lunch and in less than five hours the clouds of hunger begins to gather. After making great sacrifices to the gods, so that we may bid poverty farewell, it keeps giving us warm welcome as it awaits us even before we get home, handling us cups of chilled juice for a fresh start. Maybe the gods are too busy to pacify poverty or we are not doing the rituals well. Surely, it is the latter.  What we do is pruning. We prune poverty to create more branches rather than uproot its entirety. What many government organizations and the NGOs in this country do is no bigger than a joke, since their concealed goal is to make a name for themselves and not really to empower. They only want to show power NOT to give power to the underprivileged members. A redefinition of goals is one major thing t...

  Our Survival He who will not fear the shedding of blood is not fit to lead his people; afterall upon whom shall he govern in the first place.  Nigeria today has become a theatre of war, violent killings, ethnic cleansing and unimaginable attacks against citizens of the country. If there's anything that is so dear to the citizens of the country at a time like this as when compared to air it is the ability to survive all the ordeals and enjoy lasting peace, harmony, acceptance and mutual understanding among all citizens of the country regardless of religion, tribe and cultures.  The country is heterogeneous in nature when it comes to ethnicities identification and so also the country is of various religious affiliations thereby known and addressed as a secular state. So it is of essence to understand that if the leaders in the country fail to give understanding to the fact that they are leading a country of multifaceted religions then the citizens must not fail as well to...

  REPORIENTATION NATIONAL EMBARASSMENT People in their mighty callousness, do what they know how to do best, wielding the sword of corruption and making a mess of our values. Our splendour they income; the kingdom they vendor, yet  they are more catholic than the Pope and more islamic than  Mohammed (S.A.W). Partial judgements torment us like the  EFCC even monarchs show their bicep muscles in the events. Their holiness fades with the setting of the sun and the moon comes with her spotlight on their atrocities. Yet, we take no step towards cleansing; politicians do their worst and seek refuge in the party at the top where immunity resides.  Why should we keep our flag flying when stain has added a third colour to it? Should we continue to embarrass our nation before the whole world when others are raising their flags higher? Let us settle for a rethink and wash with hyssop, our beloved characters. ... and for a better Nigeria, I will not be an embarassment to th...

  REPORIENTATION On Nigeria's Soil we stand The roles played by soil to the survival of any plant in agriculture is of immense quantities. Also, the roles of soil to sustaining the erection or establishment of a building on it is of crucial impacts.  As Nigerians we sleep and rise upon the soil of our beloved country and quite unfortunate myriads of the citizens of the country have lost hope, become anemic and thirsty on account of series of unpalatable events in the country.   "Woe unto us if we dare lose hope because life don't usually give us the straight line graph in solving our issues rather we are usually confronted with the many puzzles to solve to get the desired results.  Let it be known that Nigeria's Soil is still very fertile to support agricultural practices, to sustain vocational trainings, to aid the legal practices in businesses and commerce, to help the citizens survive economic hardships. Anyone that tells you that Nigeria's Soil isn't fertil...
