THE IGBO RACE.

         Their sons and daughters are scattered all over the surface of the earth! They are industrious and focused; strong and enterprising. They are religious and spiritual- divine or traditional. They are the most envied tribe!     They say we corrupt them, some say we cheat them while others say we influence them but I say we motivate them without them knowing it! I wonder what they would have said if Osama was Igbo. Or even Charles Taylor! If my country is corrupt, have you tried my tribe as its president? Oh how come Philip Emeagwali is not Efik, I hear Chike Obi is Ibibio and that Achebe is calabar. Lol The igbo tribe! This tribe thrives because it's unique! Is it beauty? I'd suggest you visit Anambra!          Intelligence? Try IMO          Hardworking? Try Ebonyi           Industrous? Try aba            Entertainment? Try Enugu!      Would you say less of a quality of the Glo advert where Flavour capped it up with "oyorima"...? Malays
  ORCHARD OF MEMORIES          I allowed his 'success' affect my mentality. I wanted, by all means to be just like him. He looped me into his cocaine business which was his major source of income. On my first trip to SA, I was caught and jailed for 12years. I spent nearly one-fifth of my life serving my terms but now I'm free. I decided to hunt for a job but it seems I was too old to get an honest one. No capital to start a business. I struggled further for another 14 years but I couldn't boast of any fortune. "Should I return to my old ways?, I thought.  Actually it was my only option.  My first night on the highway was a nightmare. I was the only one shot amongst the other 12 criminals. I was admitted to the hospital and was hospitalized for close to 3years, the doctors were kind enough to treat me but not to let me go. I did some manual labor and was set free on completion. I had no where to go, no one to run to. The churches didn't se
JUST A GLASS OF MILK       One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so brought him a large glass of milk.  He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” “You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness.” He said….. “Then I thank you from my heart.” As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also.  He had been ready to give up and quit.          Years later that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the big city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. H
  ILLUSION    Your world is an illusion. From the day you were born, you have been conditioned. Your schools taught you to be quiet, neutral and numb. Your media desensitized you to the suffering of your fellow human beings and the system slowly isolated you until it somehow felt normal to feel alone on a planet with 8 billion other people on it. You worked hard for the future with your reward always just around the next corner or just up the next step. Everything was tomorrow but tomorrow never came. And you realized too late that you had never lived at all. Something was missing and no matter how much you worked, partied or paid you could not disguise it. You accepted it as natural for one to be wealthy whilst another is poor, or the absurd notion that we must pay back the debt of our own existence. We traded community culture for corporate comfort and our most precious resource, our time, as a commodity. We need to move beyond revolution and into the next

A WALK WITH MR. PRESIDENT Dear Mr. President, Come take a walk with me. Let's pretend we're just two people and You're not better than me. I'd like to ask you some questions if we can speak honestly. What do you feel when you see all the homeless on the street? Who do you pray for at night before you go to sleep?? What do you feel when you look in the mirror?? Are you proud?? How do you sleep while the rest of us cry? How do you dream when a mother has no chance to say goodbye? How do you walk with your head held high? Can you even look me in the eye And tell me why? Dear Mr. President, Were you a lonely boy? Are you a lonely boy? Are you a lonely boy? How can you say No child is left behind? We're not dumb and we're not blind. They're all sitting in your cells While you pave the road to hell. What kind of father would take his own daughter's rights away? And what kind of father might hate his own daughter if she were gay?
WASTED REMINISCE CHAPTER ONE    'His eyes where bloodshot, very red and very still, he clung on to the piece of wood for a survival instinct that came into his head in trickles, he could only remember to breathe and be alive…. As he breathed, the “hands above” seems to hold him down, pushing… wanting him to drown…yes! Wanting him to die…. And he was drowning; his fingers touched a metallic substance, almost immediately the taste of raw bile taste of death filled his tongue, his lungs contracted rapidly…He was sure going to die… Marcos awoke with a start, the shock of this nightmare was excruciating, he could not fathom the essence of this dream, his stoic manliness was suddenly inept, cowered as he went for a cup of hot tea mixed with caffeine, ...Anyway ‘Dreams’ were figment-derisive representation of thoughts from the mind he recalled the words of his mentor IDI ‘AMIN With renewed sense of vigor and optimism, he
ANGER AND CONTROL: A SHORT STORY     Once upon a time there was a little boy who was talented, creative, handsome, and extremely bright. A natural leader. The kind of person everyone would normally have wanted on their team or project. But he was also self-centered and had a very bad temper. When he got angry, he usually said, and often did, some very hurtful things. In fact, he seemed to have little regard for those around him. Even friends. So, naturally, he had few. “But,” he told himself, “that just shows how stupid most people are!”     As he grew, his parents became concerned about this personality flaw, and pondered long and hard about what they should do. Finally, the father had an idea. And he struck a bargain with his son. He gave him a bag of nails, and a BIG hammer. “Whenever you lose your temper,” he told the boy, “I want you to really let it out. Just take a nail and drive it into the oak boards of that old fence out back. Hit that nail as hard as you c
DARKNESS! It was Ada’s usual way of thinking. When she thought, she imagined the words floating around in her head. Strings of white graphic, struggling to find space in a black planet. She dreamt in white and black. She had heard people say they dreamt in colored. She could not just imagine it. Once your eyes closed, it was darkness, how could anybody dream in colored. She was sitting across the table from her man. Watching him gallop down a glass of chilled Guinness stout, her glass of smirn off ice untouched. He was trying to make light conversation with her, and she had lost her voice because there was so much darkness in her head. She just watched him and thought darkness! The waiter came and started to take away the bottle he had drained. She stopped watching her man for a moment, and watched, the waiter. She was sexy, the waiter, but not in a way that made her jealous. Her figure was like a coke bottle, the waiter, and she had this arse that went, lef

POETIC JUSTICE

POETIC JUSTICE And so we talked all night about the rest of our lives Where we're gonna be when we turn 25 I keep thinking times will never change Keep on thinking things will always be the same But when we leave this year we won't be coming back No more hanging out cause we're on a different track And if you got something that you need to say You better say it right now ?cause you don't have another day ?Cause we're moving on and we can't slow down These memories are playing like a film without sound And I keep thinking of that night in June I didn't know much of love, but it came too soon And there was me and you, and then we got real glued Stay at home talking on the telephone with me We'd get so excited, and we'd get so scared Laughing at ourselves thinking life's not fair And this is how it feels As we go on, we remember All the times we had together And as our lives change, come whatever We will still be friends
WHY DO  LADIES TAKE RELATIONSHIPS TOO  PERSONAL??    1.You fail to call before bed; they also never call to check on you. 2.You call to say good morning,they suspiciously askyou jamb questions why you didn’t call last night.  3.You change your Facebook relationship status it becomes trouble. 4.If u have a low battery and they can’t reach your phone,they assume your with some other girl either bonking.   5.If you comment any nice words like sexy, pretty,nice figure, beautiful… on another girl's Facebook photo, she quickly views her profile and she can even send her a friend request. And if you tag her in your pictures that also becomes a problem.  6.You take long to spend some time together, maybe when you’re so busy Monday-Monday, because of distance or you’re not well off, she says you’re avoiding her or you’re too busy with other girls.  7.You answer her call; the first thing she says is *Where are you?* 'where are you?'yet its Sunday morning and yo
