The Reorientators

  REPORIENTATION THE NONSENSICAL CYCLE  And it happened that day, he ran from the Oaks to the palms, calling oak corrupt and selfish. He was not given enough space to reach the sun so he could photosynthesize.  He drifted and bade him good bye, moving to the palms for refuge.  The welcoming feast was like no other, second to none that has happened in history.  Soon, the culture he came with became epidemic.  He affected the palms and everyone around. Yes! They've become smarter than he is. He soon gathers 10,000 reasons to return to his vomit. He swallows his pride and gobble his words, then sail out back to his roots. A fresh beginning of the endless cycle.   They use the whole revenue to pay their own salaries. When the wallet is almost dry, they move for loan adorn it as though the Queen is paying us a visit.  A very beautiful story is cooked for us. We keep sharing until it becomes old and the product of the loan appears only on blueprints.  Our lethal roads are yet to receive

  REPORIENTATION APPRECIATION Appreciation gives meaning to life and brings great joy to many in their daily activities. It goes a long way extending the length of life as happiness could be responsible for wellness. Yes...   A good meal served by a lovable wife, enjoyed by the husband but  without the word for the moment, rather choosing to say "Next time I want swallow," is highly dishonourable. Remember, services rendered to you by a taxi driver/ motorcycle pilot you pay should end with the word. There might be more than you know happened on your way to the designated place you instructed.  The good services rendered by junior workers at your place of work should not be received with less care, use the word. Teachers do great job to educate your children yet you think your money does it all. In churches where you have godly worshippers and instrumentalists and every service seems great, forget not that it is human God use to make that day great, celebrate them. Are you the

  REPORIENTATION  PRAYERS Can our prayers do more for this country? Several things are, prayers will not do. Prayers will do its part when we play our roles in order to receive answers. We can pray for downpour of rain but cannot stop the flood it causes not to sweep our properties away if we cannot take the discipline to dispose properly. We can pray for good leadership but it will not happen if we do not discern to choose our leaders, as failure to do such will make prayers go void. We can pray for deflation of prices but it will not happen if we all inflate prices at any slight opportunity. We can pray for security but it will not happen if we suspect certain moves and do not report to the right authorities. As powerful as prayers is so are our actions. We cannot keep praying and not take actions that will make us see answers. Answers are received immediately prayers are said but we do not see them because of our actions. Little wonder, a disciple wrote in one of his letters that fa

  REPORIENTATION HUMANENESS Compassion is the missing piece of the Nigerian puzzle. Who can find it?  A university graduate is employed as a motorcycle rider, HND is become a requirement for gate keeping yet a single human sits on what can feed a million others with his face touching the skies. Ain't that  a very massive madness, when a sole man gobbles the sea sand that can create thousands of employment, into his little stomach? Second-hand goods have taken over every here and there. They have come to stay.  A great number of the  citizens cannot afford new things. Suffering has made this part of the world his dwelling place. We have assigned a royal seat for him. He dines and wines in plenteous just because someone has no compassion. The existence and struggles of others make no sense to him who is not compassionate. People are murdered and ordered out of their homes, properties are taken by force and gun, yet the country is peaceful is what they sing around. Massive  burial has

  REPORIENTATION Golden Ring Many may resort to complaints, another may run under the shed of excuses, but if you want to leap into the hall of fame, you must learn to soar above all barriers. Our nation seems to be like the black pot that produces white pap. Birthed upon our lands are manifold excellent seeds, like the plant of a seed coming out of the dark soil. These seeds sprouted out of darkness, clinching the golden light by their prevailing determination, despite the discouraging odds of the voted superiors. Until one's tenacity is able to defy the set mark, and break forth above the standard, one will forever be in oblivion. Hence! We'll no longer comfort ourselves with shades of grumbles. We'll continue to rejoice in the victories of our heroes' past and put our faith in the labours of heroes' to come even as each of us strive to reign on high in our various fields.   We'll continually fly the golden light! ...and to attain the height of the golden ring
