The Eagle That Once Flew




O God of creation

Direct our noble cause

Guide our leaders right

Help our youth the truth to know

In love and honesty to grow

And living just and true

Great lofty heights attain

To build a nation where peace and justice reign  


I look back each passing day at the times we all recite the anthem every morning in school with all form of delight and a bigger picture of graduating someday from the university, getting a government job and an official car. Today I ask myself, ‘what happened to that eagle?' 

A country with a lot of bright young productive minds now has one of the highest rates of unemployment and insecurity with no productivity. A country whose citizens and leaders were once respected for who they are all over the world, now have to deny their citizenship just to get a free passage to another country. A country whose diverse culture and tradition once landed her on the list of every nation as a tourist site now  has the same culture and tradition dividing her and leading to her downfall. A country which was said to be one of the  booming and developing economy in Africa and one to reckon with around the world is now one of the crashing economy one can think of with almost the highest level of poverty in the world. 

A country whose growth and development once rested mainly on agricultural produce such as cocoa, millet, cassava and groundnut can’t even recognize the road to the farm. One of the top crude oil producing states in the world now has to pay for her refined crude and her residents fights just to get the same fuel. A country that supplies electricity to other countries can’t boast of 24hours of uninterrupted power supply. Her petroleum sector that takes a large portion of her budget now contributes nothing to her GDP. Her health sector is crying for help.Her educational sector is being washed away by the erosion of strikes and inadequate facilities. Her elections is around the corner and her leaders are saying the demand of her labor force is unreasonable but find it reasonable to spend millions to get delegates to vote for them. 


What has happened to the eagle?

Can the eagle still fly?

Has she lost her wings?

Has she lost her crown?

Has the giant fallen?

Do eagles still fly?


Only time can tell.


God bless the federal republic of Nigeria. Nigeria is great!

Faulty Rule: Healing the Process

  REPORIENTATION Faulty Rule: Healing the Process If the rule be faulty, what will the patriots do? Run to a safe haven or repair the rule? Day by day, the chaotic currents nip the life out of the people, causing a fearful disorder in others to swim out of the country hastily. Hmm, in my father's house, the rooms are becoming empty shells, because the occupants are being betrayed by the very structures put in place by the landlords. The question bothering me is that, if all the patriots fled, won't the beasts become the proper land owners and occupants? If so, what would be the fate of the building? In order to stop this invading danger, we must resist our fear to flee and not our voices, let all hands be united to combat this mean forces. We shall then be in the process of repairing the rule and healing the process. ...and for a better and secured Nigeria, we arise to unite, being faithful to rebuild again!

Today for you, tomorrow for me.

  REPORIENTATION   Today for you, tomorrow for me. As the world dances to the tune of the motion of time, not subjected to the forces of pauses and stops, it rolls into our path opportunities to be a channel of blessing to another. Today for you, tomorrow for me, this is a picture of sacrifice, a painting of selfless living. To live for others today is  your sustenance tomorrow. To sacrifice your time and resources today and help your fellow human without any desire of "immediate gratification" is an essential life quality. Once you refuse to help because the other person can't give immediate reward today, you increase your chances of being denied help tomorrow. Everyone has their own season of being ushered into limelight, be a catalyst in the process of their manifestation. You're trying to shine today, I'll help you harvest stars from the skies, who knows, tomorrow, I might need a light to illuminate my path. Time and tide wait for no one, but it will eventuall...

Fanning the Flame into Fire with a Mouthful of Salty Water

    How can I fan into fire, the saturating flame of hope before me? Can a mouth filled with water cause a glow or make a close? How can I save the world, the whole generations of man? Shall I hold the water in my gutter and still speak up my pains?   Who will find a sustainable solution to my dilemma? Shall I change the game and vote a change, saying NO to craze? Who will brighten our hope of a peaceful world? Will he also add some flavor of equity?   The golden rule will do Taking me on a journey; the journey into a “happy ever after” The beginnings of unending smiles and joy unspeakable I forgot the salinity of my pride and swallowed it up Making a run way for my organic bellow to perform its voluntary duty   Glowing hope is all my optical heart can courier; trailing the smoke of care Hope of a better living in an expensive world of love, I recognized Eureka! The song of discovery I could not jettison but ampli...
