FACE THE PROBLEM 

 



A Yoruba adage says "Ma fi ete le pa lapalapa" - Don't treat ringworm instead of leprosy. 

As I sat on a bench in my balcony one afternoon, I saw an eagle struggling to fly and wondered what was wrong. It landed on the railings in my balcony and this afforded me the opportunity to give it a close examination. Guess what I discovered! It had a very bad sight and this affected every of its activities. After my discovery, I was supposed to find a way to help its sight but I focused on strengthening its wings, beak and feet so that it would fly and feed well.

It is disturbing and baffling to see the root of a problem and decide to treat the effects with all zealousness but leaving the cause.

This is what our beloved country has turned into. We let the real deal slide or leave it uncared for to pursue matters that are not important. Rather than proffer solutions to cogent matters that affect us, we become minders of others.

Wisdom speaks that we tackle root problems before we become the shadow of ourselves 


... and for a better Nigeria, I'll face the problem and not become the shadow of myself.

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...
