Where is the Lie?

Image
D o you sometimes get that elated feeling that there's something superior about you? That maybe ...just maybe, you are somehow a demigod and the rest of the world is blind if they can't see it?  Now I am not talking about the "I know who I am" mentality, but that thin edge between humanity and borderline  Narcissism . Where the only voice that matters to you is yours and your overinflated mistake of self preference. Here's what your overblown ego wouldn't tell you: that we all see through you, that we know how far gone you are, but somehow still stay because contrary to what you think, we actually love you. You've heard it in passing. we've said it to your face, you've seen it in our eyes and by our actions, yet the paranoic personality you have turned yourself into has bewitched your sense of good judgement.  Here's a fun fact; we know, we understand and still don't love you any less, but ask yourself this: How much more can we really tak...

DILUTION

Image
Today it felt like I had mastered the trick. I believed that it was possible to care and not lose myself, it worked -- seemed to work for the shortest while, until he found the words I didn't want to hear. It was another sunset, like the many we've shared together. Another cool evening with the black soot in the air and the blaring horns of hurrying white-collar workers; tired of the days slaving at the office, permeating the air from the distance. We never cared about them, at least I didn't, and I doubt he ever did. I always looked forward to his calls every evening, and today wasn't any different. The phone barely rang when I hit the green button and closed my eyes to let his voice light up my entire being. It wasn't deep, nor did he have the baritone kind, his is soft and somewhat pitchy, yet he finds a way to sound so delicious that I taste him with my eyes firmly closed, and my lower lip in between my teeth.  "I'm at the gate..." his favourite wo...

LET'S HATE TOGETHER

Image
I know, some people are wicked… some deserve to be stabbed, while for a whole bunch of others, death will be too good for them. Now these guys don’t get it, they forget that we, who are victims to their selfish actions, are human too. They go about treating us like scum, like we we're foolish to have availed ourselves and our precious time to them. For some of them, we actually played a major role to their success stories today, and now they cannot stand the sight of us. take a moment and breathe So what do we do ? Hate them? Punish them? Find ways to do them wrong? Get the world to see them for the EVIL they are? Now, no matter what you choose from the list above… YOU WOULD BE WRONG. Understand me, okay? They are wrong, they deserve all that our sinister hearts wish them and more … but Would it make it any better? Would you get any bigger? YOU, AND YOU ALONE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR YOUR JOY Most of you now go the extra-mile creating family feuds that...

THE MAD SANE YOU

Image
Think about this, there really is something to appreciate when you see a  mad man ...for one thing he does not even recognize the fact that he is  MAD . If you would..., take a closer look and ask yourself this " who really is disturbed when your paths cross?" You or the supposed * mad man ? Now I will not glorify the insanity of those who took to ill-mannered lifestyles and ended up on the road side. My point is simple and I will state it as plainly as possible... A LITTLE MADNESS HELPS Okay, chill guys... don't spit me out yet...😓 Let's take a step back and really understand what madness means...I could easily sum it up and you all will agree when I say "MADNESS simply means NOT-NORMAL" I believe we all are on the same page now😀...now let's open our history books 👀, here's the task- When you find a page that tells the story of how history rewarded a normal man or woman, put a bookmark on it and SHOUT my name. We all would agree t...

FAMILY OVER EVERYTHING

Image
You know blood they say is thicker than water. Most of us will easily agree, but the point is simple. FAMILY IS VERY RELATIVE . People come into your life and most times make you wonder why they didn't come from your Mama's womb. There are obviously few exceptions where your closest pal is your sibling, your dad or maybe your mum...like I said, few exceptions.  Never let the notion of a blood tie stop you from enjoying the beauty of friendship. Now I am not in anyway trying to belittle or relegate blood to the background, but I speak the TRUTH. LET'S IDENTIFY A FEW EXAMPLES 1. You work out in a gym every morning and evening , obviously you'll have gym buddies who are also passionate about achieving their fitness goals just as you are. Before you know it , the relationship transcends just the gym and you'll start hanging out and attending functions together...watch what's happening...a tie as well as a niche is being carved. 6months down the line th...

TIME STOP

Image
Have you ever sat and pondered on how one day,  IT will all come to an end. Go on and think about it... even the day has a night, and your sweet sixteen shoes wouldn't fit in 5 years time.  WHAT VALUES... DO YOU HOLD DEAR? BECAUSE ONE THING IS SURE, "We must all give account someday."  Time as we know is only a pause in eternity. In other words we wouldn't be in this world forever, so we must make our time here count for God and good as we will all give account to our creator one of these days not too far from now, when time will eventually stop.                          This is a call to reach out to the lost in this world before it is too late. Before time stops, for time is limited on this plane of life. POET NESSYL TAKES IT DEEPER IN THIS PIECE,  WATCH SHARE COMMENT RESHARE But in all this, let this piece help you appreciate your time on earth better. ...

MY TEMPER AND I

Image
It's okay to be angry. I mean come to think of it, people most times don't get it till your face turns red😡 and the steam pushes out your ears😤.  Here's what they don't tell you, these folks actually enjoy the train ride. They have mastered your MO , so all they do is get on board, load the coal and watch you take care of the rest. Quick question... Who let them in? Who let them stay? Why in heavens name do you need coal in the 21st century?👀 Now, like I said earlier, it's fine to loose your cool.  Turn off the air conditioner once in a while,  BUT telling me that someone else is responsible for you sweating, is a big joke. 😏  I mean, did you forget where the switch is ? Are your legs paining you? Don't you still have the remote controller? Get your act together and take charge of your atmosphere. Imagine a world without annoying people 😂, quite boring right? They are there to remind you of how you aced the SELF-CONTROL class. ...

THE BLAME GAME

Image
Human beings are to an extent, quite predictable, so little wonder why you should be the same right? I mean, someone has to be responsible for everything that goes south in your life. Why should you be at fault? Are they blind? Can they not see that you are the victim? Do they need to be reminded that you were the one who: lost your job got divorced  lost money got fat has cancer failed the exam (scratch that, was failed in an exam😏) is broke and poor The list goes on. Have you even paused to see the kind of person you are becoming? Your life is now being run by CEOs you don't remember employing. Really, is that how you want to be remembered ? That man/woman, boy/girl that had no say in the happenings of his/her life? How much longer before they hold a vote of no confidence and decide whether you should live or die? You need to understand that YOUR life is YOURS . This means you are responsible for wherever you find yourself today. Ever since you started holding ...

THE TRUTH ABOUT MONEY

Image
There is actually no polite way to say write this, truth is,  MONEY DOESN'T EXIST . Okay...calm your nerves down and take a minute to just read till the end. You could say that I am entitled to my opinion...I wouldn't argue with you, trust me when I say that even life proves my point. MONEY ONLY EXISTS IN THE MIND OF THE POOR Again, I do not point fingers😃 .                                                                      CASE 1 When I was much younger, my friends and I will often say that we should always carry extra money in our pocket for miscellaneous purposes. That sounds responsible I believe...but here was the issue with our train of thoughts: we believed that it could be possible to be walking on the road and accidentally push someone's egg crate to the floor, and when that happen...

MUSIC SERIES: THE MEANING IN WORDS

Image
I have often heard people say that they preferred someone hit them to the person using words that "hurt" on them. They can relate to the very sharp and piercing nature of words. You should understand that apart from just hurting someone, words move in currents; currents that could carry someone even whilst the person is not conscious of it. My point... simple... most people now find it very easy to pass hate messages through music. Some others encourage violence and immorality through their songs such that you find yourself dancing off to the beat without knowing that those words are sinking into your subconsciousness. In places like AFRICA, they do not even say anything these days, they just make beats and people dance to their emptyness. When you write songs, do it purposefully. Music can be constructively used for good, Let us will the power of MUSIC and change the fate of the world we live in, and it starts with YOU. TO EVERY: nigerian african canadian artist ...

STEREOTYPE

It's funny how we get offended when people have certain views about us.  Are we always the victims? NO !!!  We also serve our own fair share to those around us. Now, I am not saying it is your fault...Our society has just shaped our minds that way. You have just grown up with all the wrong information , and our parents are kings in the art;  Mum tells you "Boys are evil, they only want to get into your pants."  Now you have this very single shallow view of every male that comes your way. "Nigerians are thieves" therefore every black man you come into contact with, whether kenyan or probably a black american; who has no idea how to spell nigeria, is a criminal . When you allow such single views cloud your mind about things and people, you stop yourself from experiencing the beauty life has to offer. PEOPLE ARE DIFFERENT. THINGS CHANGE, PEOPLE DO TOO. TRY TO HAVE AN OPEN MIND ABOUT THE WORLD.               ...

INTERDEPENDENCE

Everybody wants to become successful .  Everybody wants to stand ou t.  These days people go on about how proud they are to be independent , and how independence pays off . What they fail to realize is the fact that no man is an island . You cannot become successful without people .  WE ALL NEED EACH OTHER !!!! No matter how great an architect you are, you still need an expert " independent " mechanic to fix your car when it gets bad. Even the President of the country needs an expert " independent " hairstylist/hairdresser to cut/style his/her hair. I know some people have a do it yourself policy . That's okay, but how long would they last. If we really learn to work with people, our INDEPENDENT stories would be beautiful. #onelookatyou

I QUIT :(

Okay, I get it :( ... you tried. You actually even surpassed your "pushing capacity." ... FANTASTIC QUESTION: WHAT CHANGED ?   NOTHING. Truth is, giving up never really made anyone or anything better. All it does is to push the " worry-date" to LATER .   People say "you win or learn" , and I agree, BUT there is an underlying factor in this statement that many fail to see. NOW YOU ARE ASKING THE RIGHT QUESTION... ;)   WHAT? very simple... CHOICE Before you start any task, be conscious of the fact that your mind already has been conditioned on what to expect as an end result, and whether to interpret it as a WIN or a LOSS . And even it did not go according to plan it is still in your hands to CHOOSE to  LEARN   from  the  experience.  Remember the only person that can limit you is the guy at the other end of your mirror.
