Naija @ 50

Like a caterpillar , She broke out of her cocoon

Like a Chick, She cracked the shell & hatched

Nigeria, 50 yrs ago broke free from her shackles

She became liberated and tasted freedrom

Opening her eyez to the shocking reality that Life is not a bed of Roses

Made her feeble heart frail whilst trying to crawl

But against all odds she decided to stand

And with distorted but calculated strides she persevered

D journey so far has left her perspiring

While her vital organs are depleting fast

With the first Military coup hypnotizing the immature She

and the Civil unrest that followed crippling the young child

The immunization against poverty was not given to her by her Colonial Masters

So the affluence of the Baby Nigeria was compromised

But the Oil Boom came as our Messiah

Only to be caught up in the web of Corruption

D situation of things have troubled our minds

and made Nigeria a laughing stock in the global community

Why?, I wonder, would a country so rich be this poor,

Could it be the melanin in our skin...HELL NO

Where is the Obama of Nigeria?, come lead Her to her promise land

Who would start baking her National cake instead of devouring it?

Who would see leadership as a service rather than a right?

and I heard the voice echo....YOU!

Arise O compatriots, Nigeria's call obey,

Let's stop talking and start working

From Lagos to Sokoto, From Akwa Ibom to Maiduguri

Let Nigeria's over 150 million children take responsibility for a better Nigeria.

Can U imagine?

Sometimes it's gud 4 us 2 imagine some things....was just thinkin abt God and wrote dis down...ENJOY

If He could turn a fish's mouth to an ATM, can u imagine how many banks he owns?

If He said silver and Gold is His, why won't the streets of heaven be made of gold?

If He fed the Isrealites with manna from heaven, why cant He feed five thousand with five loaves and two fish

If He could transform an Olodo to an Otondo, can u imagine the depth of his knowledge?

If He uses the foolishness of this world to confound the wise, can u imagine how folish Einstein, Edison etc would look if they ever get to heaven?

If the earth had been revolvin round the sun for the past 4.6billion yrs, Can u imagine the Recursion He used (proli a 'for loop')?

if in his own math; 1+1=1 , can u imagine why x - 5million = y whr y > x(i.e. givers never lack.)

If the earth is His footstool, can u imagine how big his palms would be?

If He can see all things, can u imagine the nos of Sattelites, CCTVs and the massive Netwoking involved?

If He hears the prayers of 6Billion people(the gud,bad & ugly), can u imagine the nos of dedicated servers he runs?

If no 2 persons have the same fingerprint, can u imagine how identical an identical twins are really are?

If our dna is really unique, can u imagine the nos of hrs/days or mayb secs spent to maintain database integrity?

If it is almost impossible to explain calculus to a 3 yr old, can u imagine how difficult it would explaining God's awesomeness?

There are so many things to imagine and so many qns dt may remain unanswered

The Forbidden fruit

At last the hide and seek game ended on a sad note with the demise of the former president Nigeria, Alhaji Umar Musa Y'aradua. After about six months that the president was incommunicado, word came on the 5th of May, 2010 that 'Baba go slow' was Late.Not too good a news but not totally unexpected.Somehow the news didnt come as as surprise to many Nigerians including myself though some religious leaders( Islamic & Christain) allegedly claimed the former president was feeling better and would soon be out of bed what they didnt tell us was that it would be to his grave, between you and I, only God knows best o.

 I dont know if it is me o, or that the death of the president of Nigeria didnt shake Nigeria the way the demise of the CEO (Chief Executive Omo-Ita) did to Nigeria. It is surprising how thru music Barack O'Grin could touch so many people something the president couldnt do. Well as I said earlier its my opinion though, and it doesnt really matter(Except on ma blog ofcourse...lol)

To the rationale of the write up, the forbidden fruit, the fruit the snake purportedly gave Eve and likewise was served as dinner for Adam by Eve, that is the history of the fall of man in a sentence. Turai Yaradua was given the fruit by OBJ (i dunno if he is d snake here), she gave it to Umaru and we all know where dt story ended, though Turai schemed and ployed in order to keep the fruit in her coffers but somehow the snake or is it Kharma or Jonathan's goodluck that brought the fruit out again. 

Now the fruit is with Jonathan and Patience, will the snake repeat the same feat on Patience in 2011?, or would d 'Adams' of Nigerian Politics fight over the fruit. coz with IBB saying there is no youth worthy to be the president of Nigeria, Atiku deflecting back to PDP, Ogbuluafor in soup and PDP's boat hitting the rocks. It might be so difficult to predict, but it wont be much of a prediction or probability come 'MAY', 2011, we would have known wot's up. Till then let's keep our fingers crossed(I wonder who would make the change) and watch the unfolding drama of the FEDERAL REPUBLIC OF NIGERIA.

Long Live Nigeria, Long Live the forbidden fruit or not....lol

Changin times

Remember a time when a

A computer was something on TV 

from a science fiction show of note 
a window was something you hated to clean... 
And ram was the cousin of a goat.... 

Meg was the name of my girlfriend 
and gig was a job for the nights 
now they all mean different things 
and that really mega bytes 

An application was for employment 
a program was a TV show 
a cursor used profanity 
a keyboard was a piano 

Memory was something that you lost with age 
a cd was a bank account 
and if you had a 3 1/2" floppy 
you hoped nobody found out 

Compress was something you did to the garbage 
not something you did to a file 
and if you unzipped anything in public 
you'd be in jail for a while 

Log on was adding wood to the fire 
hard drive was a long trip on the road 
a mouse pad was where a mouse lived 
and a backup happened to your commode 

Cut you did with a pocket knife 
paste you did with glue 
a web was a spider's home 
and a virus was the flu 

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper 
and the memory in my head 
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash 
but when it happens they wish they were dead

Variety

Men....It's not easy o...I have been so busy...unfortunately doin nothing....lwkmd

Friday was a hell of a day...damn....I was on my feet for close 2 five hours, for something I could do in thirty minutes.

Was just thinking sha...how easy would life be without some people...4 me I think it would b so predictable and boring.

Some people were commissioned from Heaven to frustrate u, so u can always find ur bearing. Somebody recently asked who will you prefer "an irritating fellow", "an annoying fellow" or "a frustrating fellow"...Imagine the options given.

But I think u need them in varieties to make life beautiful

BOTTOM LINE...man shall not live with gud ppl alone

A REASON TO LIVE

Lagos!, Lagos!, two more yansh or is it chance he said...lol, We entered the bus only to discover we were the second set of people, we were still left with 4 'yanshes'. After a while the driver decided to start the journey with the remaining four seats vacant. The journey from Umuahia, Abia State to Ife, Osun State no doubt was going to be a long one but my mom, my sisters and I couldn't all wait to get home.

In no time we were at the boundary of God's own state and Imo, then from Imo we were in Anambra. I almost burst with excitement when we crossed the Niger, then I dozed off as we went by Delta and Edo State.I was jolted back to life when we had to alight at ore, to board a bus to Ife. Afterlike two hours, we were like thirty minutes away from home . My mom in her usual da Vinci mode was drawing time table already for our chores when we get home.You will do this and you would do that. Suddenly, I heard a thud, I found myself in the booth of the vehicle, with my blood all over my palms I wriggled out tryin to figure out what happened.

It's eight years today since I had a ghastly motor accident on the Ondo-Ife Road, that claimed the lives of 5 people on the spot,I dunno about the others that were rushed to the hospital. My family and I escaped with bruises here and there whilst some skulls were smashed on the tarred road. After I came back to my senses the only thing I could think of was a song

"O mu mi wa laye, O seun o, //U kept me Alive, I thank you
O mu mi wa laye o seun", //U kept me Alive, I thank you
Opo lo fe di ojo oni to je wipe //So many wished they could make it
Ohun t'aye sope ko toun kan lo mu wan lo" //but What ppl considered as trivial was what took their life

Life is such a cruel teacher, I could have learnt all those lessons in a class but I was given a first hand class in REALITY 101. How did I survive the accident?, I dont know, Why am i not the one lying lifeless on the road, am still flabberwhelmed.Why did accident happen when we were less than thirty minutes to the end of the journey after travelling for close to six hours!. The Irony of every thing was that I was stuck in the booth I found myself for quite a while, if any other vehicle was coming from the back, I was most definitely going to be a dead meat. Am still amazed the reason why no other vehicle came along the busy road whilst I was struggling to get out of the booth.


It was not up to 2 mins after the accident that rain started, as if the heavens were crying with me for joy for God giving me another chance or they were mourning the demise of five people am not sure. But solace came as the next vehicle that came by was a road safety truck, the badly injured were rushed back to ondo. My Mom, my three sisters and I were all in the bus but somehow the angel of death refused to take us coz d Lord chose to keep us. But why did a road safety vehicle surface at Ijebu Igbo(dt's the village closest to the scene), till today I dont still have a clue.

I am eternally grateful to the almighty, i dont know how to stop thanking him for sparing my Life on the 20th of April, 2002. That was one of my close brushes with death but that was the only one with a constant reminder that I am a CHOSEN. I have a bad black scar on my right palm that always jog my memory back to the fact that I am alive for a reason.

That 'small' incident gave me a reason to live, a reason to appreciate one minute, a reason to be constantly prepared for the worst, a reason to Love, a reason to be me. For those who know me well, it's common thing for them to tell me am not serious coz I learnt the hard way not to take life too seriously. Though I still travel at night and still take some risky risks the scar always remind me I have to fulfil my purpose here on earth before I go back to the great beyond and that no weapon fashioned against me will ever prosper. That's my LIFE...i LIVE IT FOR EVERYBODY (LIFE)

I dont have any idea why I wrote this o, or why it is here on the internet but what I do know is that it is teaching someone the lesson I learnt the hard way.
P.S. I have to do the work of He who sent me while it's day coz the night cometh when no man can work
