The World As it Spins

Before I walk away, I wrote this on New Year’s Day. Can’t really recall what triggered it though. It’s just somber and sad. It’s from way back, when I wrote a lot. Before I walk away, I shall speak my mind How does something so sure never come to be? How come you and I never became? How? I don’t beat up myself because of us anymore Like the pulp that was beat up to birth the gray paper on which I imprint my thoughts I don’t Before I walk away, I should say I don’t feel hurt that you walked away into the sunset All things work together for good It is for good I believe we don’t walk together anymore I loved you, I guess you loved me too Before I walk away, let this note stand forever A testament to a love that may have grown old Let this note spring forth other notes uniting and giving me sad music That will accompany me as I walk away Before I walk away, let it be known that I am not sad I never regret the moments we had However, you my

Here is a Crazy To-Do list my friends and I compiled. Most of them are low risk, try them out and give me feedback. 1. Talk About The super Eagles To the next driver at a red light Recently, I was in a taxi in Garki Abuja (that was the day Nigeria was drawn against Ethiopia in the world cup knock out qualifiers). Our taxi driver, a boisterous happy man wasn’t satisfied with the dry company we the sullen passengers provided (I was the most sullen). So he did it. At the next red light he looked to the next driver and began. “Oga them don fix us with Ethiopia oh, sha I believe with God’s help we go win them” The stupefied look on the other driver’s face was priceless. I couldn’t help but laugh out loud. When next I drive, I will try this out, only that I’ll break the latest news in Sub atomic Physics to the driver beside me. I’ll be like “Bros did you hear that a new subatomic particle has been discovered? Do you know what this means for science?!!!” Then I will go ahead to throw

Phewww. It is Tuesday afternoon and here am I writing Monday's post. What can I say? I sincerely apologize for the delay. First things first. My heart goes out to kenya as they go through these trying moments as a nation. Evil people are everywhere but good will eventually overcome. The Westgate incidence has left me with some sort of phobia for Shopping centres. I see my monthly window shopping pilgrimage to Shoprite coming to a slow end. I think I will make do with shopping online for now. In other news, today being 24th September I'd be attending the Social Good Summit. Every muscle in my body is reluctant, but since I know a whole lot of good is going to happen there, I'd be there. On second thought, we shouldn't give terrorists a chance to infuse fear in us. I think my window shopping pilgrimages will recieve a boost. Infact I'll extend it to Silverbird Galleria.

Hey Guys. Here is a poem I wrote some months back about the universities being "theatres of spilt dreams". How prophetic! With the ASUU strike on inching towards the 90 day mark with no hope in sight, a lot of dreams are getting spilt. Read and mourn with me. :-( Theatres of Spilt Dreams Beyond the sphere of thoughts Men dream Yet the dreams of men have sunk beneath the black earth Spilt by the crushing weight of brick walls Wail ye, wail ye The dreamer is emasculated Where shall I sow my seed dreams? The tower of ivory is a theatre of spilt dreams 

I don’t know if this is even newsworthy; this blog crossed the 600 page view mark this weekend. Hurray!!! I feel very pleased, pleased that people are reading my stuff. This weekend I carried a nasty head ache from Friday to Sunday, thank God for church. I was healed! Can I get an Amen? Aside the headaches and the 600 times my blog was viewed, other things sat in my head in random order. Like the future, my visions and dreams. I want to be a lot of things some of which are written here . However here are some of my other dreams which I will like to share with you. Being a writer is something I have always dreamed of, writing interesting books that are subsequently made into movies. Before these books turn into movies they develop into comics so that I start seeing characters I create on t shirts, mugs, in shoprite, and on the schoolbags of Abuja school kids. One more thing, I dream of owning the t shirt company. It wouldn’t hurt to own a mall, to this end I found time to l

I watched the film The Lorax last weekend and I must admit: I was touched. In the film there is a town where the air is polluted so people have to buy clean air and there were no trees. It takes the determination of a little boy to convince the town’s folk to let him plant a tree and let it grow. The environment is continuously damaged by human activities. It is so bad that some Chinese fear the air they breathe. Cancer is one of the leading killer diseases there. Their problem we may say, but environmental issues are not always like that. The mess is made in one country; the effect is felt in more than one country. For instance some of the air pollutants in Los Angeles USA originate from China. The floods we had in Nigeria last year were due to release of excess water in Cameroun! Environmental issues have been largely ignored in our society, until the floods of October last year came. Climate change is for real and the time to act is now, we do not need to consult any Ma

V              Perhaps you think every road user has equal rights to the road, think twice  my friend . There is an unwritten law that many road users adhere to, albeit unbeknownst to them. This constitution places pedestrians at the lowest rungs of the ladder when importance on the road is concerned the President sits at the top (see table below). At the higher echelons there are bullion vans, police vans, Fire trucks, vehicles belonging to the military and official convoys. Truth is you may overtake some vehicles but some cars should never be overtaken. Take for instance a General’s official car with a General inside, for safety reasons don’t overtake. No matter how slow they are driving, just endure driving at a healthy distance behind or change route. Hitting a military ride is a big No No. And unless you want to be flogged or driven off the road or maybe shot at on suspicion of being a terrorist don’t overtake any governor’s convoy. You would definitely be killed if you ove
