NIGERIA OF MY DREAM

I weep in fear I feel so dim with drear Longing for a ray of light To make it come out bright It started with a fight Brought about great fright Children out of sight Parent gets the bite Eyes fading off Plans falling off War now our conclusion Killing now a profession Men can no longer trust Like metals hearts now rust The wealthy defend their pockets The masses move with empty buckets Education now a second order discipline Yet we call the youth leaders of tomorrow I cry for my dream I wish it wasn’t dim I pray it comes true After all what I have been through Days of starvation Days of stagnation I see a nation where the coat of arms means a lot Where the anthem is not sang for naught Where our currency will not be bought Where our flag will be without a blot Where our motto will calm down wrath Where our leaders will have us in thought I see citizens being equal Where parental connections won’t be the ticket I see men boasting of three square meal with good roads I see our graduates smile to their place of work I see all religious leaders eating from one bowl I see the green in our flag showing on our lands I see NIGERIA lending to nations I see education being everyone’s right I can’t wait to see this come true But I need you, you and you to see what I am seeing Let it come through in our time Innocents blood are tired of crying Animals are fed up of dying in disaster Children are tired of praying See NIGERIA like I do Love and Pray for NIGERIA And NIGERIA OF MY DREAM and OUR DREAM can come true

LESSON FROM THE STREETS

Image
So Yesterday afternoon. i was walking outside the Gate of the University of Benin Main Campus and i was amazed... On getting outside, i saw a large number of people screaming out loud and look at the sky.. Why they screamed i didn't know.. Guess i only have a clue till now (they say MARY)..... I did my best to stare and see who they were seeing but all i saw was the clouds moving in different directions.. from the same sky where they saw Mary... I felt it was just me but many others started but may be we didn't know enough as to seeing what they saw or something else.. Thats by the way... As i walked away i got a message from within saying:: Everyone has got their own view about everything. The fact that people don't see our dreams as bright as we do aren't being wicked.. We all cant just see things at same pace The fact that people don't see the future you see of you doesn't mean it does or doesn't exist.. If you believe id does keep firm to it and if y...

SHE NEVER LOVED US

We woke up as usual, storming the streets for our daily hustles and bustles for what to eat and drink.  Hi! Holla! was how we greeted with hands smashing against the other and laughers doing works on arts on our cheeks. Our kids will hurriedly run to jump on us whenever we found our ways to our places of abode. Our rumpled shirts from stink and sweat spoke with loud voices how our days handled us "fair or dark" but we never saw a crime in this adventure. No! Not even from the pressure of sleeping late and waking up early, growing as kids our dreams walked the streets with us so we even got used to having dreams without even laying our heads. Cos they lived rather in our minds and expressly grew in our lips. But then! We lost all of these when a foreign one came in, this one I haven't heard or seen before. Without a shape crept into our abode and metamorphosis led to its population increasing. Could this be God's new invention we pondered as we continued with our daily...

Lesson From Dads Desk

As a younger boy dad will always say TImothy go get me water, and as i start going, he will say before that get me something from the room, soon as i come from the second errand, he will send me on another making me forget the first errand... After series of this he will always give me a crazy slap which always made me cry and hate him... But at thisn point, i must attest that at this point it has been helpful.. When you get too involved in activities, you end up loosing focus on your dream and primary purpose.. Making you jack of all trade master of none. Its wiser when you do one at a time or if you have to do more, dont get yourself boxed up doing too many things that you loose focus...
