BEING GAY, BIG DEAL? Good morning World. I am trying to understand what being gay is all about. I have strong feelings for the male folk, it would baffle me if there is any sexual inclination to this. When a child is being born with deformities, a quick surgical operation is being performed before he/she grows up at most times, reason being that, deformities are easiest to repair and manage from childhood... Well to me, being Homosexual "gay/lesbian" is another type of a deformity, why because, that specie was not meant to be that way... Below is how to control this form of deformity right from childhood. Why don't we introduce a Subject/Lesson/Course named Physical Appearance MF "MF stands for Male and Female respectively" where by this subject will teach kids on how to be their own sex, for example teach kids how to walk, talk, dress etc.. A well outlined teaching scheme of work can be worked on till the last grade of primary sc

FEAR OF FAILURE The fear of failure stays predominant in the mind of a certain Igbo man. The infinitesimal thought at the background of the mind nestling, cuddling, reeling... How productive am I? What have I achieved? Am I part of what I criticize in the world? How do these people on social media street see me?  ... Are they carried away by the shadows instead of the substance? Do they think I have gotten there, or am I seen as a work in progress? I'm thinking aloud this very morning because something inside me is yearning for attention.The emphasis we place on wanting friends. The good ones, the cantankerous type, the belligerent ones, inciting you to violence... on this platform I have everybody. But there is yet a lacuna, a void not even the influx of human can fill. The need to be different, distinct, great. The reverence the "common-man" give to the bourgeoisie. It is wanting to find yourself but getting lost to the conscious paradigms of l

MISPLACED PRIORITIES On his death bed, Alexander summoned his army generals and told them his three ultimate wishes: #1. The best  doctors should carry his coffin... #2. The wealth he has accumulated (money, gold, precious stones) should be scattered along the procession to the cemetery... #3. His hands should be let loose, so they hang outside the coffin for all to see!! One of his generals who was surprised by these unusual requests asked Alexander to explain. Here is what Alexander the Great had to say: #1. "I want the best doctors to carry my coffin to demonstrate that in the face of death, even the best doctors in the world have no power to heal .." #2. "I want the road to be covered with my treasure so that everybody sees that material wealth acquired on earth, will stay on earth..." #3. I want my hands to swing in the wind, so that people understand that we come to this world empty handed and we leave this world empty handed after
“True love knows when to say NO.”  -FEMI FRAGILE “The strangest happenings in life come with the most sincere intentions from familiar people, and such sincerity is what hurts us the most.” That was the consol ation I got from my friend, John, after the astonishing reply I got from Tutu earlier that day. I had asked her “will you marry me?” in a bar somewhere on Atican beach where we decided to celebrate her birthday. The ovation was high, it was a well packaged surprise; I invited few of our friends, including a saxophonist to usher in a romantic aura, and John even went out of his way to invite Wande Coal just to make it look extraordinary. “Forget it, this guy is the best male vocalist in Naija.” Tutu is also a big fan of his. The stage was set for me to shine, and I was quite confident she was going to say yes. I sipped on the wine I held in my left hand as the saxophonist set my heart ablaze with the melodic tune he played. Not quite after that, Wande Coal stepped forward; yo
AHMED'S PREDICAMENT You’ve probably read or heard about the 14 year old boy who made a digital clock and got arrested by the Police after his teacher mistook his homemade clock for a bomb. Awful, right? Now here’s the good part: The news got on social media and people from all over the world condemned the act and gave massive support to Ahmed for his ingenuity. But it didn’t end there. Ahmed got shout-outs from President Obama, presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg invited him to Facebook. Ahmed has also received invitations to work at Twitter and Reddit, been offered a seat at the Google science fair and a scholarship to NASA’s space camp – just to name a few. Thanks to his teacher! But what if Ahmed’s teacher had not called the Police on him? Ahmed’s clock and 13 other inventions by him may have gone unnoticed. The world may not have known there was a 14 year old genius somewhere in a Texas high school. MORAL OF THE STORY: When life

iMOTIVATE 1. This morning, like he has every morning for the last decade, my 86-year-old grandfather picked a fresh wild flower on his morning walk and took it to my grandmother. This morning I decided to go with him to see her. And as he placed the flower on her gravestone, he looked at me and said, “I just wish I had picked her a fresh flower every morning when she was alive. She would have loved that.” 2. Today, on my 47th birthday, I re-read the suicide letter I wrote on my 27th birthday about two minutes before my girlfriend showed up at my apartment and told me, ‘I’m pregnant.’ She was honestly the only reason I didn’t follow through with it. Suddenly I felt I had something to live for. Today she’s my wife, and we’ve been happily married for 19 years. And my daughter, who is now a 21-year-old college student, has two younger brothers. I re-read my suicide letter every year on my birthday as a reminder to be thankful – I am thankful I got a second chance at life

ZERO TO HERO Good Evening World.    I am inspired to share one of the few deepness resident in my mind this evening, of course i understand that motivation and inspiration seem to be the least considered doctrine in today's world. the sudden despair and anguish that clutter the mind as we go through our daily activities leaves everyone deeply sated, beaten to near pulp. But just as the notable poet Syl Cheney Cooker would say, "we must learn again to fly" I share with you today, one profound story which was told by a friend of mine. of course this story stays too real as it was experienced first hand and is very verifiable.  One young lady who was working as a domestic help-hand received a call one morning from her employer. The boss said ,please don't come to work. I have found your replacement. She cried a lot. Because she knew that her family depended on her salary. After crying she was heard saying , the bible says , for I know the pl

AMEND IT. ...But It was their anniversary, and Funke was waiting for her husband Kunle to show up. Things had changed since their marriage, the once couldn't-live-without-each-other cute couple had turned bitter fighting over every little thing. Both didn't like the way things had changed. Funke was waiting to see if Kunle remembered it was their anniversary, Just as the door bell rang, she ran to find her husband wet and smiling with a bunch of flowers in his hand. The two started re-living the old days. Making up for fights, then was the plan for champagne, light music, - and it was raining! It was perfect timing, But the romantic moment was paused when the phone in the bedroom rang.  Funke went to pick the phone up and it was a man who spoke.  "Hello ma'am I'm calling from the police station. Is this Mr. Kunle Adeoye's number?" "Yes it is!" "I'm sorry ma'am; but there was an accident and a man died. We got thi

WE ARE ONE Happiness doesn’t come from having everything, but from making the best out of what you have, it’s all about how you see yourself. You were born in a first class clinic, I was delivered at home but we both survived. You went to a private school and I went to a "razz" government school, but we both ended in  the same varsity/college. Y ou woke up from the bed and I woke from the floor but we both had a peaceful night rest. You drank Hennessy & champagne & I drank four cousins wine but we both still got high. Your outfits are all expensive, mine are all simple and cheap but we both still cover our nakedness.   You ate fried rice and roasted chicken, I ate pap and Akara balls but we both still ate to our satisfaction.    You ride on Lexus jeep and I use public transport but we still got to our various destination. You may be reading this post from your Sony xperia, Q10, Iphone6+ and I typed it with my outda

  DRESSING: HOW DOES IT AFFECT OUR LIVES AND DISPOSITION?  Why have this daughters chosen to expose what should be hidden? Why do we abuse everything in the name of fashion and trends?  Recently, i was told of a meeting  where two young ladies arrived a Meeting wearing clothes that were quite revealing their body  parts. Here is what the Chairman told them,He took a good look at them a nd made them sit.Then he said something that, they might never forget in their life. He looked at them straight in the eyes and said; "ladies, everything that God made valuable in this world is well covered and hardly to see, find or get. 1. Where do you find diamonds? Deep down in the ground, covered and protected. 2. Where do you find pearls? Deep down at the bottom of the ocean, covered up and protected in a beautiful shell. 3. Where do you find gold? Way down in the mine, covered over with layers of rock and to get them, you have to work hard & dig deep down to get the

WHEN YOU COME TO THE END OF YOURSELF  YOU FIND THE BEGINNING OF GOD The only survivor of a shipwreck washed up on a small uninhabited island.  He prayed feverishly for God to rescue him, everyday he scanned the horizon for help but non seem forthcoming. Exhausted, he managed to build a little hut out of driftwood to protect him from the elements and to store his few possessions.  But then one day, while he was scavenging for food, he arrived home to find his little hut in flames, the smoke rolling up the sky.  The worst had happened, everything was lost.  He was stung with grief and anger, “God! How could you do this to me?“ he cried. Early the next day, he was awaken by the sound of a ship that was approaching the island. It had come to rescue him. “How did you know that i was here?“ asked the weary man of his rescuers.  "We saw your smoke signal" they replied.   NOTE:  It‘s easy to get discourage when things a
DON'T BE TOO FORWARD At the interview to fill the vacancy of a Field Engineer in a multinational oil company, two competent and qualified Engineers were shortlisted and the company was to decide on who to retain and who to show the red card. They asked them If they could drive and they both answered in the affirmative even though ... only one of them could drive. The Head of the Human Resources spearheading the interview cum pruning session then handed his car keys to them to prove their driving skills within the premises. The over-confident applicant collected the car key, opened the car, switched on the ignition, lighted it up, sped off, swirled, swerved and made some stunts on wheels before parking the car on the same spot to the seeming rousing applause and mischievously knowing smile of the interviewers. The other applicant who could not drive collected the key all the same, opened the car, opened the bonnet, checked the engine oil level, the brake fl
CONSCIOUS LIFESTYLE  HIGHER PERSPECTIVE:  THIRD-DEGREE PATHWAY Why is it "weird" to talk about the universe or question our existence? Are you really so ... sure of everything around you? Why do we have to put on a front when we talk to people? Why do we always have fake conversations? Why are we so afraid to connect? I believe a lot of society's problems are caused by a fear to open up - opening our hearts, opening our minds, opening our spirits and opening our eyes (all 3 of them) We live in a society with televisions broadcasting in every house and nearly every public building in every city, telling you what to do, what to wear, and what to think. All controlled by a few top media companies that are owned by big corporations, the same corporations that buy out all the politicians and control all of the public education! They control everything and they tell you how to live your life. Its all a game where the ones at the top steal from the ones at that bot
I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY. Poor people think rich folks have no problems. Rich people actually have more problems than poor people. No, cross that, rich people have the biggest problems. And that is the truth. . . Poor people only want to meet the basics: eat, pay bills, sleep under a good roof, marry, born and die. . . Rich people want to rule the world. Rich people want to live forever. . . Rich people want to buy the whole of your street and that is HARD WORK. Rich people want to make ten billion dollars a month. And the hustle needed for that is insane. It is backbreaking. . Poor people with their petty problems will be beefing the rich people in their lives. 'Una no see the big house him get for Ajah, de jeep and hummer e dey drive? See how him wife and pikin fat? But to borrow me two million dey hard am. He's not gonna borrow you two million because he won't get it back. Ever. .. I have found out people are more willing to help me when I am doing som

RE-EVALUATE  YOUR CORE VALUES. 1. No matter who you are, how experienced or knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgment. 2. Give others the privilege to explain themselves. 3. What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others. 4. Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first. 5. Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money. 6. Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility. 7. Those who apologizes first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them. 8.Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you any thing but because they see you as a true friend. 9. Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you a
DID GOD CREATE EVIL ? The University professor challenged his students with this question. “Did God create everything that exists?” A student bravely replied, “Yes he did!” “God created everything?” The professor asked. “Yes sir”, the student replied. The professor answered, “If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are, then God is evil.” The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor, quite pleased with himself, boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth. Another student raised his hand and said, “Can I ask you a question professor?” “Of course”, replied the professor. The student stood up and asked, “Professor does cold exist?” “What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?” The students snickered at the young man’s question. The young man replied, “In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the l
