The Reorientators

REPORIENTATION EMPTY PROMISES As a country, we are at a crucial moment. As the days roll by, the inevitability of selecting new representatives to pilot the hem of affairs of the government dawns brighter on us.  We're constantly fed with various information ranging from messages of hope and motivation to pompous harangues by individuals with myriads of intentions. An underlining factor common to these individuals; both well-meaning and the ones who belie their true motives is a cloak of promises they wear in their campaigns and admonitions.  No doubt, words are very important as they help to convey intentions and meanings from one person to another but If we're to judge people solely on what they say, we would almost certainly be wrong and remiss especially because people do not always mean what they say and they do not always do what the say.   Thus, measurement can be tipped from mere words to credible evidence as shown in the persona's history and record. Undoubt...

REPORIENTATION UNTARRED LIFE Each morning rises with crates of unthoughtfulness. All our hearts can conceive is 'me.' We dine and wine with hatred for one another. Yet we laugh and sing "all is well' in fellowship. Sense fatigue jumps from one branch of government to another.Indiscipline resting its head on the laps of luxury. Oh, it's got a territory even amidst us! Illegal parking on the shoulders of the roads by truck and smaller vehicle drivers has become tradition. Indicators are no essential part of our vehicles, they have become luxury. Head light and mirrors are absent in the assemblage of many vehicles flying on our roads.  I laugh...have you not seen crabs plying our blessed roads? They face North with their heads while their tails face east. I don't know if we no longer have FRSC and VIO on our roads anymore. Who needs be told every time that red means stop and green means go, save a man that lacks discipline? He beats the traffic light at the peril ...

  REPORIENTATION IMMORALITY Immorality spreads her wings wide in a glamourous flight. Flying high with less struggle over a defenseless society as ours. Although poverty and hardship may be the claim of many, it makes less than common sense to declare that a good reason for such unwise actions.  In yesteryears, who could confidently commit bestiality and reveal his/ her identity unashamedly? It is now worth being proud of. Craziness is very synonymous with the recent ongoing in our society.  The love of money has become cataract in the eyes of many and the sense to discern good from evil has ceased to be available. Everyone is chasing a good life, since the country is not doing enough to ensure that.  "To your tents O Nigerians!"  If nobody would give us a comfortable life, we have to find it ourselves by our own means. That is the music of the season!  Everyone is now a suspect to someone else. Looks no longer  say enough about the bearers, only prope...

  REPORIENTATION WORD OUR WORLD Ain't our definition what we do and what we say? A giant YES! We are simply what comes out of our mouths and what we do.  A number of us just wake up on a good morning and say nothing positive about our country. Many just curse our leaders and curse the nation. They see themselves as the only good ones even  when they don't do better as followers. Our trucks of prayers are yet to wrought miracles and some people are getting joy from the showers of curses here and there. Don't forget that some people bless their country daily and blessings flow from top to bottom in their society. No one professes evil and see good things happen neither does anyone professes evil and does good. Declare something good, do good and see good things happen to you.  Our words matter and they leave prints for us to trail. Words are accomplished by actions and both should be good if a better Nigeria would happen. Our words influence our actions. We soon begin ...

  REPORIENTATION My Beloved I sat at my balcony ruminating over matters; matters that concern my beloved. What a great change has happened to him! Who has caused these alarming changes ? I decided not to find faults, but looking for the who and how my beloved has been able to embrace these changes without thinking twice. I wondered how my beloved has grown so heartless that he prefers to watch things go worse and people die in his presence rather than saving the situation. I wondered how my beloved prefers to pay people to support his greedy ambitions. I wondered how my beloved could have allowed all his systems cripple under his own watch without making attempt to seek for their healing. Now, I wonder how my beloved expects to live a peaceful and meaningful life when all his systems are down. He has become more than numb. Meditating on what has befallen my beloved...phew, something popped up in my mind. The mind of my beloved has been affected by his choices. My beloved has chosen...

  REPORIENTATION HOW SICK IS NIGERIA 🇳🇬? Nigeria supplies electricity to the Republic of Benin, Togo, and Niger, yet we have a very bad supply of electricity within the country. The Nigerian government donates $1m to Afghanistan in 2022 and our ASUU they say, are unreasonable with their demand. Triviality is indeed  our mandate. Multimillion dollar rail project was done in the heart of insurgency and the beloved nigerian government said security should not be provided for the tracks. After two bombings, they are calling on the same security agencies. Burning resources is our hobby. We have one of the highest rates of skilled medical personnel in Africa, yet our medical sector is doing worse than suffering. How do we have a healthy nation?  "Ko ye mi o." We have Innoson motors, yet the Lagos state government went ahead to get 1000 GAC motors to run Lagos private transport which I  refer to as Lagos Uber. Who should then patronize the company? Unemployment spreads l...
