EMPTY PROMISES Today, I discuss empty promises. I grew up in a family that was very business inclined and as such there were no role model to follow as regards education. Apart from my generation, (born in the 90's)° Those before us were artisan, business men and women and all that. Everyone was talking money and bank tellers, you speak too much English, you are easily done away with until it changed gradually and formal education began to hold sway. Education was priority only to an extent, only to show off. If you were opportune to be going to school, then your father got some "cheddah". My father especially felt going to school was expedient only because he did not go. It was a matter of let me prove a point, since I was not there, my children must be there. I respected him for that. It makes perfect sense to me many years after. It was a hell of a ride back then, I recall some dark memories and tears trickle down navigating its way through dry, coars...

HURTFUL TRUTH Most often than not, The grass is greener on the other side because it is fake. abstract. Utopian and non- existent. phantom. A mirage. farce. A tiny,self assuring thought niggling at the back of the mind; Inside the head that there is a better place somewhere not entirely where we are right now.Of course this doesn't put down the place of modest aspiration and goal setting in any man's life which is not what i am talking about in this respect. You ever gotten to a level of a supposed successful target only to look back on all the pain and suffering /dissipated strength it took to get there and there is no satisfaction. no fulfillment. bland empty feeling. It is so lonely at the top. Sometimes. which depends on what your supposed 'top' is. What is that dream we see even when our eyes aren't shut? These affluent persons wouldn't tell you the part of the story i seek to share on this medium today. You want them to tell you how they can...

This is a man. It is 14 years jail term in my country to crush on a man. The truth behind this post is that I have couple of similar pictures of this man. Dancing, sports,making small cliches and caricature of musicians and crack heads of which he is one anyway. Google up that fact if you doubt me. The point behind this post is that there is none. I love him. i envy his wife. How do you make love to the most powerful man on earth and not tremble? Well, Something is changing inside me. I have fallen in love with this man. His dance steps. I guess he was about to do the Shoki dance move before this clip was taken. At what point is a man considered Homo? Answer me. I am searching for more of his pictures by the way especially the one taken with Michelle in the confines of his bedroom. Don't tell me i am not normal. That is stale. There is something about strong men. It would be nice to leave earth as a strong man, Don't you think so?

A MAN'S AMBITION. The fear of failure stays predominant in the mind of a certain Igbo man. 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, 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 life: the third-degree pathway. It is wanting to be alone but not wanting to be lonely... It is caring about everything but caring about nothing actually... It is feeling everything deeply but being paralyzing numb to the bullshit sold on the Lagos streets each day. It is the fear of failure. I am afraid to go down without a fight. Now, do I have...

AN OLD SOUL What is an old soul? An old soul is often characterized as being someone who finds themselves alone and isolated to some extent.They’re wizened beyond their years seemingly from birth. But being an old soul comes with its own set of challenges. 1. People label you incorrectly. People are obsessed with labels. Are you a hippie? A hipster? Are you new age? Come on, you have to be something, right? Old souls are the hardest people to peg as belonging to a larger group because they tend to be unique. It’s like they’re above labels. 2. You feel like the black sheep. Old souls are great at building strong, meaningful relationships with people. They have this keen ability to appeal to a person’s heart. But there are a lot of superficial people in the world and many don’t want those kinds of relationships. It can make you feel isolated. 3. You’re easily drained emotionally. Old souls are the types who have seen it all and all they wa...

ENJOY WHERE YOU ARE There is nothing which is intrinsically enjoyable. What one person enjoys, another person despise. Enjoyment is an abstract word as it means different things to different people. It comes from your attitude toward a particular situation, not the situation itself.Too many people search in vain for enjoyable activities, enjoyable relationships, enjoyable environments, enjoyable entertainment. A much more successful strategy would be to stop searching and start enjoying. Get yourself up to little things that really brings the smile to your face. The enjoyment in itself is not in the activity. The enjoyment is in you. your very core. yourself. It is best apt to put it this way, Be your own best friend and find happiness in yourself. Wherever you are, whatever you’re doing, find a way to enjoy it. Sure, it’s great when you aspire to bigger and better things. But don’t fool yourself into thinking that they’ll come pre-packaged with their own enjoy...
