HUSTLE



The quest for a better life and a convenient way of livelihood is one that is innate. This concept can be seen over and again; illustrated on the pages of history. Evolutionary instinct has forced man to seek better means of living e.g. by developing better tools to hunt and farm and by building more robust shelter. All of these are attempts to improve the living condition.

 

This much needed instinct does not preclude the modern man. We all strive to make our lives better. This instinct in itself is admirable in that it forces us to harness the resources with which we are endowed to provide ease and comfort for us.

 

However, as admirable as this instinct is, some will stop at nothing to actualise their lofty dream of better living. This situation can be exploited by vices lurking with the subjects personality and within his/her society. The vices feed on social innuendos sponsored by poverty and illiteracy or both.

 

This situation has a wider playing field in our nation as the government has failed in many of its responsibilities. We now have people who justify internet fraud and scams; who see nothing wrong with this nefarious acts (as long as the victim is of the same skin colour as our colonial masters). This argument is both appalling and propesterous. We now have people who see nothing wrong with ritual killings; justifying themselves with sayings that mask the amber blink of their conscience.

 

More so, there are other less inimical and inconspicuous examples. A popuplar instance is the scourging effect of the dearth of the new naira note. Some POS merchants seized this opportunity to enrich their pockets by creating off-shoot black markets where they sell the new notes to citizens in dire need at highly inflated prices.

 

The effects of these mindset are far from transient; if nothing is done to address these vices that feed on greed, their effects will ripple far into the future. In all of our "hustle", we must protect our conscience against the strangling claws of greed.


… and for a better society, I will guard my heart against greed.

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...
