The Portrait of the Foolish: Of Foolishness and where WE stand in the GAP

By Anonymous -



“Go from the presence of a foolish man, when thou perceivest not in him the lips of knowledge.”
--Proverbs 4:7 (KJV)

Do you know foolishness can be a compliment?
Yes, foolishness may not be an insult!
When I called you foolish (please pardon me, I'm probably foolish in your own eyes too. Thus, foolishness is relative and can be seen in the eyes of the beholder!)
I probably spot an act of foolishness!
It is a state of existence;
A kowtow to a customary conduct!
The fool and his cohort need some behavioural modification!
Many are foolish and still fooling around with their 50-50 shoulder pad!
Fooling themselves and others around!
Your 'gali gali' and 'na only you waka come' quack mentality will get u nowhere!

Unfortunately, and justifiably so, majority of the world’s population regardless of their status, race, and colour, height and shape, are in this gap…

Foolishness is no respecter of persons, be you black or white, your socio-economic background notwithstanding, if you are foolish, you are foolish!

Know your status and ignore it or do something about it!

Mind your folks- foolishness is contagious!
Like the Ebola Virus and HIV, it can be transmitted from merely interacting and engaging with the company of fools!
One wise man in the jungle co-mingled by fools is otherwise the King of fools!
Should me your friEND and I will predict your END!
Should me your buddies and I'll tell you who you are!
Let me hear you talk and I will weigh your depth!
Show me your associates and I'll know what you’ve been assimilating!
What does your mind capture? It's a pointer and a predictor of your future!

A fool and his money is one big party!
He lacks plan and does not understand purpose!
He is a sufferer of the disease called 'purposepose'!
He is oblivious of the fact that strategy is far superior to energy!
He is so impoverished all his has is a lot of money in his numerous bank accounts!
The majority are foolish, following the mob with due diligence!
Assiduously en route on the path of obliteration with dire cluelessness, crass stupidity, confident ignorance, boisterous arrogance, and assertive audaciousness!
Hoping against hope, nay, he is annulled of patience and logical thinking!
Only hears GO! Like the soldier man at the war front without any attempt to query, scrutinize, constructively critique, compromise and conclude!

Only a minority few are wise, others otherwise called the weak majority are otherwise!
Only a big fool going nowhere to happen can minor on the major and major on the minor!
There are beautiful and gorgeously dressed fools, handsome-looking, broad-chested, pocket-loaded dudes, foolish all the same!
We have Mushin-living, Lekki-living, Estate-living, Pack view, Ghetto, Slum and Sub-hub living fool proofs!
What of some politicians, religious and community leaders with over-bloated ego and their idiosyncrasies? They are not off record!

Really, foolishness is no respecter of persons!
Some graduates, irrespective of the level of their education and the schools they graduated from- private, federal, state or roadside universities or polytechnics, are more stupid than the hitherto primitively antiquated illiterates!

Maybe I'm making sense or not. Only discerners can tell!
But then, there is nonsense in my sense and sense in my nonsense!

What brought about this ‘foolish’ piece self?
Well, the thoughts, like a mighty rushing wind flew into my medulla oblongata, disturbing my sleep after engaging in a long chat with my girlfriend from 10pm- 1:15am, disallowing me of sweet sleep until I decided to capture them with my punching keypad!
Now, I understand that ideas are intangibles looking for tangibles to engulf!
They are abstracts looking for who will concretize them!
Ideas are economic propositions in search for bodies to host them-be a host to your ideas!
Until it keeps you awake and wakes you early, ignore it-na bad market!

How did I even get to IDEAS self? Maybe it's a commercial for somebody so special!

Now, back to my 'foolish' nuggets...

A fool is wise only in his own eye!
With the concept of blind prejudices, he is absolutely unaware of his own bananas!
Indeed, idiocy is the nature of idiots!
Folly is the character of the slothful!
Hyper-tension resides in the belly of the timid!
Cowardice is charactized by the insecure!
Lunacy or call it insanity or kolomental is in the nature of a superior lunatic!
Commonsensical knowledge is not a commonality to a common man, as common sense is not really common to him-it’s such an expensive commodity in his eyes!
Ignorance at every point in time ‘t’ is obviously the fool’s arrogance!
Only a fool is expect in playing the blame-game!
Never accepting responsibility, always giving excuses!
Don't be dismayed, he that works with the wise shall be wise but the companion of fools shall be utterly destroyed!

A fool will perish and never replenish!
He lacks knowledge and so shall be destroyed eventually!
The slack and lack of knowledge is the cause of his lack and the reason he is being smacked and denigrated to the back!
In the company of fools, wisdom is a rarity, a scarce commodity, an infeasible province and a no-go area!
In words and in deeds, he lacks prowess!
At work, he lacks the requisite skill to deliver!
God at decreeing but lack delivery skills!
Bad-mouthed, sugar-coated, loquacious, eye-servicing, always gossiping, void of ideas and originality, empty headed, slothful, lazy, indolent, expert in giving excuses and casting of blame…that’s him!
Full of potentials but lacks the potency to proof his capability!

Blessed is that man that is wise for he shall reap the fruit thereof.

May you not be foolish or cut in the act of foolishness this day and beyond!

It still M.E.
Mr. Exponent,
Primus inter pares...first amongst equals

But wait; does this piece really making sense at all or...?

    What amazes me more is d fact that d world in their folly decide 2 dedicate a day (April 1st of every yr) to celebrating their folly.

    But in d words of d erudite Prof. Wole Shoyinka, " d antics of a buffoon (d foolish) makes a comic relief in d market place, but no one pray 2 have him as a child".

    Great one sir, more power 2 ur writing elbow.

      Lol. Even a day of the year is reserved to celebrate buffons. Indeed, April Fool's day is the world's day to recognised the fools that dwell amongst them!

      Just like the God idea that the poor will never seize in the Land. The continual presence of the foolish amongst us is the reason wisdom will continually be a rarity. Therefore, the wise shall rule the fool.

      Amen to your prayers bro. Cheers.

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...

On Tuesday, April 10, 2018, Guest Minister, Bishop David Oyedepo of Living Faith Tabernacle, at the Day 3 Word Explosion Conference 2018, shares powerful and instructive insights on understanding the covenant. Defining the word Covenant, the Bishop said “Covenant is a deal enacted by God on a clear terms and sealed by an oath. It is a spiritual transaction we commit God to make good His promise”.   Speaking on revelation as it relates to our understanding of the covenant, he said “Every revelation produces to the level of our understanding of it. Our covenant mentality is key to fulfilling our glorious destiny. Covenant mentality will deliver on too many days of fasting”. Referencing the following scripture verses Matt 13:33, 2Cor. 5:17-20, Joshua 11:45, Luke 19:17-19, Psalm 89:34, 2Cor. 11:3, Jere. 33:21-26, Prov. 14:28, John 15:16, Daniel 12:3, Prov. 11:30; 13:17, 1Tim. 2:4, Psa. 73: 17, Matthew 6:33 and 2Chro. 15:12, He expressed that as believers, we have a growin...
