SMALL MATTERS LIKE RELIGION The most potent force religion has used to cage people is the "Fear of the Unknown" - the fear of death and after-life. It is much more potent than the promise of prosperity. The idea of death is terrifying. Is there another life beyond this earthly life? Or are we going to end up as dust and evaporate into oblivion? Religion attempts to provide a cushioning effect to this terrifying reality of death. Each religion creates beautiful fantasies - different versions of paradises; of sexual orgies with virgins, of exotic wines, of everlasting life, of gold-plated streets and singing hallelujah to some god. Each of these paradises reflects the mindset of the people who created them. And along with these eternal paradises are their corresponding eternal damnation. Of course the religious leaders decide who go to where. The first step in breaking away from the shackles of religion is overcoming this fear of after-life. It is this fear that had ma

SHOTS ON SHOTS: NIGERIAN UNIVERSITIES "80 percent of what is taught in the Universities in Nigeria is not relevant in today's world. I attended and graduated from the only University in Nigeria. The University of Nigeria, and I can tell you without doubt or mincing words that all that was taught were theories. From the day you graduate from the university, you use less and less of what is learnt in school. These theories are obsolete and in applicable, which is why people have a valid point when they go for the jugular of Nigerian graduates. The system is decadent and grossly polluted" SOLUTION: The government should be creative enough to invest in technical schools as against the theories learnt in the polytechnics and Universities.

"If I lose weight,I am on drugs and probably smoke "wee wee". If I dress nicely, I'm stuck up, very proud and arrogant. If I say what I think, I'm disrespectful and disgustingly opinionated. If I don't say anything, I am boring and so in trendy and not in vogue. If I cry,I'm a big sissy and not man enough. If I have female friends, I am a flirt and very suggestive. If I defend myself, I am problematic and unbearable." NB: These days we can't do anything without being criticized, They stop talking only when jollof rice is inside their mouth. Who go cook jollof rice for these people today?

SHOTS ON SHOTS -- On superstitious beliefs and all sorts of fetishistic ventures. Few years ago, In my village in Anambra state, That fateful day in the company of my grandmother,the plan was to show me landed property owned by my father within the state. At the entrance of the house which joins three roads seductively lies deliberately placed a sacrifice pot containing edibles and all sorts of concoctions, disgusting pieces of meat and some other things I cannot recall now . I was naive. I kicked it hard away from the entrance to my house even to the dismay of my grandmother. I am that way, I feel these things don't subsist, They are powerless. I have not stop thinking that way. Although I agree entirely that there exist dark powers and constant manipulation of the physical kingdom where you and I abide right now by the spiritual. Those that suck the blood and fly in the night. The occultist and those of the Rosicrucian order can relate better, They know this fort t

SILENT REVERIE Born in April 4th 1988 to this world of sin and chaos. As soon as I turn 18, I will do this and do that. The notebook I wrote some of those "I will" is intact, kept faraway where I wouldn't see it as the contrast and the irony of the situation hit me like lethal jabs to the face. I saw it yesterday as I was looking for some important documents, then I was m oved for the umpteenth time to tears. The cobwebs and shadows have grown on it. Do you know how hard it is becomi ng successfully exceptional in this part of the world? To worsen my case afterwards, I went through a comprehensive list of few Nigerian youths who have made their voice(s) heard in the world via Google, typing random names in. Oh Church, they went far away from this part of the world. Far, far away. The vibes dished out here is encompassed with negativity. I also observed and reckon that the older you get the more time conscious we become. It is worrisome. It is natural but it
