When the wind of change becomes too much for the umbrella!

Way back in april I wrote an article titled ‘the beginning of the end for PDP’ little did I know that the end was at the corner..with the recent chaos in the party.! The creation of another factional PDP,the protest of the election of the national working committee of the party, the recent court cases against the party by some states.you do not need a prophet or an imam to tell you that the end of PDP is coming sooner than expected and the long awaited change is coming..but there 14 years of failure will forever be remembered!

My Senators have lost there minds to sentiments and Money!

What’s happening in the Nigerian legislature today is an evidence that people no longer use their brain to think but there pockets and personal sentiments..a senator votes for a bill when promised some amount of money by a fellow senator sponsoring the said bill or he or she decides to vote for the bill based on the fact that the senator sponsoring the bill is from my region (north,south,or east) or he or she is from my religion..its so pathetic that some people have lost their sense of reasoning and says yes to whatever nonsense once money is involved,or once they will please their religion or region..please help me tell the so called senators who vote for the bill approving teenage marriages to use their brain for once in there life time or if they still find it difficult to see the effects of what they are voting for,they should please give me their 13 years old daughters or sisters and watch the pain the will go through while I have sex with them. maybe they will change their mind..

state of emergency

Well its another evidence that when two elephants are fighting its the grass that suffers,the ongoing security tussle has inflicted so much pain on the life of ordinary Nigerians, not to mention my sweet home “Adamawa” where the infliction is from two phases .
Phase 1.being the fight between the Boko Haram sect and the security forces which has led to the killing of many innocent citizens
Phase 2.the fight for power in the ruling party (PDP),which has caused another threat to the security of the state,as even the presidency could not handle the issue because the governors forum are solemnly backing the state governor while the presidency backing the national chairman.
The second phase mentioned above is rumoured to be the cause of the state of emergency,in order to discipline the state governor for his stubbornness to the party(PDP),
But left for me what ever the cause of the state of emergency is,we don’t deserve to be grounded,can’t believe a 6pm to 6am curfew has been enforced,talk about the various checkpoint. the brutality at the slightest mistake..we don’t even know which one is better, the fear of Boko Haram or the fear of the soldiers,we hope this ends soon!!

A call for revolt

The saying that when two elephants are fighting its the grass that suffers has been proved in the ongoing fight between the Boko Haram and the JTF in Borno state,at first it was at Baga where the JTF launched what I called a “Massacre” which let to the killing of hundreds of innocent people,which upto today no true number of casualties have been established but am 100% convinced it was a genocide..to add more salt to the wounds the Oga’s at the top(clueless FG) has not taken any drastic action nor have they sympathize with the people whose houses had been burned and families and friends massacred,they only sent relief material(one thing they are good at),people like me that care about the life of others have not recovered from the trauma of the massacre,then another shocker in Bama,in what is said to be a vengeance attack to retaliate the killings of Boko haram sect members during the Baga massacre,hundreds of other innocent souls were killed..with what’s happening you don’t need to consult a Pastor or an Imam to tell you that a genocide is going on in Borno..and all we do is turn on our radios,TV,connect to internet to see,read or hear where the days attack took place. well I most assure you keep reading,watching and hearing and the next thing you will hear and see is gunshots and blast in your area(God forbid).we the masses are the majority and we are always the victims of clash of interest between the greedy,selfish and ignorants,we have been grasses for so long its time we become poisonous thorns to this elephants.

My heart bleeds for Nigeria

Out of a population of about 150 million can’t figure out why the burdens of this country affects me a lot to the extent of shading tears sometimes,I want to be like the ordinary Nigerian who is satisfied by the chicken change he collects as salary,who is happy when he gets just an hour of electricity to charge his phone and iron his clothes,who is Okay if he can get fuel at 97 naira in the filling station compared to 150 in the black market,but I just can’t be that ordinary Nigerian as it bothers me a lot when I see the sufferings of other people,when I know they were meant to benefits from some of the large amount of money being embezzled by the leadership of this nation,just imagine the recent findings by the senate that about 1.5 trillion has be stolen from the federation account by the past three presidents,just imagine how far it will have been if this money was invested in the live of the poor masses,how many life will have been taken out of the streets?,how people will have been given a cause to smile?..millions!!!…
The discovery that the house of my Governor runs a 1000 KVA generator which consume about a drum in 2 hours angered my spirit,why should a house of just one person operate a generator capable of supplying electricity to the whole of my neighborhood,or is it because it gives them pleasure spending millions of naira monthly on purchase of gasoline,I just can’t see the wisdom in that..we need change in Nigeria and we better do something fast if not our children will die even before they are being born..am an optimist and I see light at the end of the tunnel..soon!!

POSSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE

It is not the critic who counts,not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled,or where the doer of deeds could have done them better,the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,whose face is marred by dust,sweat and blood,who strives valiantly,who errs and comes short again and again,who knows the great enthusiasms,the great devotions,who spends himself in a worthy cause,who at the best,knows in the end the triumph of high achievements and who at the worst if he fails atleast fails while daring greatly,so that his place shall not be with those timid souls who knows neither victory nor defeat

The beggining of the end for PDP

Am a big fan of the saying “what ever has a beginning has an end”,and there is this hausa proverbs I love a lot “komai nisan jifa,kasa za ta dawo” meaning no matter how high you throw a stone it will surely come down..these does not only happen with stones it also happens in achievements and accomplishments..as there is a peak when attained in a profession or career the only option left is to start coming down,we have seen that in the life of Michael Jackson,Maradona,Pele, and many other achievers of note..
So am not surprised with what’s happening in the PDP..as their fate is same..You cant always be the biggest so called Party in Africa and continue to be there forever..without proving you deserve to be there..the recent chaos going on in the Party has not only shown that you are falling as a party but its a knock on the head for you people to remind you,that you have failed Nigeria as a country and Nigerians as a people..Over the past 14 years of your leadership..
Am not a prophet neither am I a sootsayer both I have this believe that the beginning of the end is here!!

leaders of tomorrow

they say we are the leaders of tomorrow,but for how long shall we continue to wait for the tomorrow to come while we can start making change today.lets brace up and think of how we can make changes in the environment and society today.

A tribute to my boss.

Engineer! Engineer!!.that’s what alot of people call me..yes I have spent five years in the university studying civil engineering as a profession,but what I learnt under him is far beyond what you can learn in school.he thought me the real engineering,gave me my first tape,thought me how to do setting out,thought me how to be in charge on site,thought me never to be scared of transferring my ideas into realities..
Talking about financial aspect! He gave me ma first 100k,and by the grace of God will give me ma first million and billion..he thought me#loyalty#dedication#determination#.and above all he thought what I wasn’t born with #the hustling spirit#..in him I have a mentor,a friend,a brother..lord I pray you keep and prosper him for me.

The friend i never meet.

Have you ever missed someone you have not yet met??..well i did and am still missing her..though we have not meet she has become and integral part of me…people often talk about guardian angels,is she my guardian angel?..if she is not.how comes she always knows how i feel,i feel peace when ever i talk to her,when i share my problems with her,I just feel as if they are already solved..lord thank you for this lady..i pray one day I see her in person to know if she is an angel or just a human with a large heart.
(dedicated to lady J)

A call for revolt

A call for revolt.

the Nigeria of my dream!!

Nigeria my home,my nation,my pride..a land filled with honey and milk yet its citizens continuously die of hunger,a land blessed with countless mineral resources,the largest producer of crude oil,the land which sells crude amounting to billions daily yet remains amongst the poorest nations,a land blessed with human resources yet employs foreign company with hundreds of workers to do all their construction works,a land with hundreds of universities that graduates thousands of graduates annually but only for its level of education to keep on falling and rate of unemployment to keep on rising..a land with one of the best land army,one of the largest police system yet remains unsecured,this is the ugly picture of my country..but the Nigeria of my dream is similar to that which Mamman Gaddafi built in Libya…a land where there will be steady electricity supply for all its citizens for free,a land where all the graduates that couldt get Jobs after graduation will be compensated with small monthly income from the government until they are able to find a more lucrative job,a land where all the government workers will receive an extra bonus once in a while from money obtained from excess crude,a land with universities that will graduate knowledgeable graduates that will come up with ideas and initiatives,a land that will be sovereign,a land where maximum security of life and properties will be ensured,a land with a strong justice system to execute and sentence corrupt leaders,rendering justice..a land with a corrupt free leadership,leaders with ideas and plans like the crowned prince of Saudi..leaders that are willing to serve and not to be served..that’s the Nigeria of my dreams..
Call me a day dreamer,but I see this dream of mine coming to past in just few years to come. am an optimist I believe we can all change the destiny of our dear land..and I see light at the end of the tunnel.
