TAP




"It takes two eyes to reproduce but takes two hundred eyes to raise the child." That is the Yoruba saying that explains this theme clearly. The existence of the taps tagged public is becoming history in our society. Although, the recent generation may have no experience of such, the older generations will always smile at a flash of its memories. 


The public taps are open classrooms in the communities in which they are errected. These classrooms are meant to raise loving and disciplined children. Children play and learn from one another and from the elders. They are trained up in the culture of the society which sticks with them eternally.Youths are taught the way up. The good are encouraged here while the bad and the ugly are corrected and remanded. Everyone get their character moulded in the presence of great role models. Battles and parties; wars and friendships are regular shows at the station. Trucks of information and invitations travel quickly without a logistic officer.


Then, tragedies receded in the presence of empathy and encouragement offered freely by other members of the community. No one lived alone, as to avoid water is to avoid life. Togetherness knitted their hems, one to another as they lived for one another and not for themselves solely.


The government do not see that not providing the adequate water needed is less a problem to the people than the  challenge created by the government  having a hand in the incessant death of communalism. No one gathers for no reason, since the reason for the gathering is becoming extinct, of what need will it be, meeting? This particular part of communal living should be revived.


When the values and the beliefs we share can no longer be taught to the coming generations by the community, how are  we not making things toxic already? Fencing, discrimination and all other factors are tearing us apart speedily. Peace is being butchered right in the market square. Terrorists, swindlers and great thieves are ignorantly being raised without caution. 


It's time to have a rethink and do the needful to have a great future. Nothing sounds better than living together in unity. The communal system does wonders, making the future good for us and having little worries about our peace in the future, as honourables are raised.


...and for a better life, I will take my community seriously!

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...
