On #BringBackOurGirls

By Anonymous -


365 days on
The nation moved on
Our girls are yet to return
...
Their abduction our leaders failed to upturn
The enemies' camp their army could not burn
Our leaders were busy vying for positions and seeking elective offices to run
Whilst about 276 girls laid in the rain as unlucky hostages to some earth's scum at the eye of gun
Our anger subsided from rain to the sun
Our lip service waned before the advent of dawn
Some ‪#‎Bringbackourgirls‬ crusaders made fame and turned the parade to charade and fun
Boko Haram won; Yes! Insurgents won...
In this insecurity warfare, they are the Don
They successfully kept the faith in year one...
Another year ticking away as the life of girls wither one by one...
With a year in the den of cannibals, are those girls still the same one?
Their will must have been broken and their hearts turned to bone!
Their bodies must have been mangled, defiled, abused, shattered, torn and gone...
It only takes sustained contact with chronic evil for a good teenager to become its clone!
We can monitor elections with drones but to sambisa forest we can't deploy a single drone!
The capture and continued disappearance of our girls was sufficient to make winning a Presidential election an impossibility stone...
Since these conquered spoils have served a yearly turn in anguish and pain, will Shekau please leave them alone?
Let's all remember that for every act on earth at Judgement day we will all atone!

OF LINDA IKEJI AND HER NEWLY BOUGHT MANSION: THE RETURN BENEFIT OF CONSISTENT HARDWORK

By Anonymous -

"You will get there, if you do not stop here" -- Exponent Samuel Adu The good book is complete on the subject of diligence. “Seeth thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before Kings and not mean men” (Proverbs 22:29). Whoever says hard work is a waste of time is to me a big fool! Hard work pays. And to be precise, it’s one of the surest ways to escape hard life. Diligent, indeed, is God’s delight. When you are consistent with what you do (good or bad), you will get the result someday. That is the secret behind Linda Ikeji’s success story. Know that if you are poor, if you are not living your dreams, if all you do is to settle for less and accept that as your fate, if all you do is compare yourself to others in the bid to play the blame game, if all you do is criticise others who are making it big doing the same things or business you do, if all you do is explain your pain to no gain, and what have view, you are living a lie! Life is an individual

Of Covid-19 And The New World Order

It’s a brand-new era, an emergence of a new world order. We are in a season of spontaneous change, a dispensation of increase and newness. New vistas, new frontiers, new powers, globalization… A fresh dawn is right here for our lawn, scaring and starring at us. Like the breath of a fresh air, post Covid is here. All is come for our restart, replan and restrategy. To rethink and look back at our times of yore. Our struggles, pains, successes and failures. The ups and down, the conquest…and now the crown… Covid-19 came to obstruct, distruct, destruct, distract and distort our plans and programmes. We were all perplexed and swept under our feet without our consent. The entire world stood still and helpless at the face of a pandemic. The rich, the middle class, the poor and the proper paupers, the rich and advanced nations, the 3 rd world countries, the whites and the men of colour all in awe at the accompanied bedeviling nature of a pandemic. Suddenly, social-strata or call

We are citizens of this great country called Nigeria. Nigeria is our fatherland! No matter where we are outside her shores, we are still Nigerians! She cannot be great without our input, without our collective efforts, without our corporate social responsibility! Nigeria: Good people, Great Nation. Hmmm, I'm thinking...well, if Americans can be saying "God Bless America" despite all of their crazy laws validating same sex marriage etal, why can't Nigerians too be saying "God Bless Nigeria?”. We need to change our mentality in this country o. We need to start celebrating ourselves so that the world at large will celebrate us. We need to believe in the new Nigerian State where the true ideals of democracy will manifest. We need to speak PEACE into our Jerusalem—Nigeria so that our children will work and walk freely on our streets without any fear or terror. We cannot ALL just the praying and fasting for our land that corruption should b
