LOOK BEYOND SELF

Image
Every day we live our lives and consume quotes from "celebrities" or motivational sites that tell us things like: It's my life so I live it like I please  It's okay to be a little selfish  If it's good by you, then keep at it ...the list could go on forever. Now while all these are not bad by themselves, you have to understand that fundamentally, no man is an island. Think about it, these words didn't fall from heaven and land on the page where you found them, someone, as a result of peculiar experiences they had, wrote them and maybe they had some cool sharing power or a social media account with followers that can lay a siege on your country, so a few retweets or shares brought it your way. We could argue that no one is perfect and I would win because even as you read this, you are aware of the very little imperfections that are only known to you and God. Your life is connected to a million others around you, this connection might not be tangib...

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...

Analysis Paralysis

Image
O.M.G   !!! * this virus is worse than EBOLA. THE FUNNIEST PART IS THAT MORE THAN HALF OF THE WORLD'S POPULATION HAS CONTRACTED IT ONE WAY OR ANOTHER. let me educate you on some of its symptoms: -Procrastination -low-self esteem -lack of self discipline amongst many others... Now before you start beating your chest and flying your flag of immunity to the virus, ask yourself this: How many times have you planned to do something and somehow ended at the planning stage? When last did you see something through irrespective of how intimidating the full picture looked? Whether you agree with me today or not,  GIVING UP  shows you lack control of  SELF RELAX GUYS... I am not saying it's wrong to plan something to the teeth, all I am saying is for you to be resolved to  DO  even before planning; or else the plan would be your greatest achievement as far that dream or project is concerned. Watch those you bring into you...

I MISSED YOUR BIRTHDAY

I have known you forever... I have known you for a lifetime We have been through the worst of them all As well as have conquered TROY together You are more than a brother More than a sister . . . So forgive me when I stand shocked to know that you have assumed an unforgiving stance, simply because I; for some reason which you deem inconsequential, somehow forgot to call you, send a message across, or be present that very day you added "1" to your age. How do you really measure friendship? I never knew our "FRIEND"-"SHIP" was still testing waters Now all those years of trust-building are gone !!! Was our foundation really that shaky? Or did we build with inferior materials TAKE A MINUTE... THINK ABOUT IT ... We have been friends since the beginning of time ... I missed your birthday and I careLESS... Had I called, would it infer that I careMORE? If you call me a friend, then I pray thee... let me bear my name devoid of ...

WHAT THE LADIES NEVER TELL YOU

Image
The day you understand that our female species always have something they never tell you but expect you to know, is the beginning of wisdom. Yes, they bite and scratch They yell and throw everything conceivable at you They insult you for everything you are worth Here is the truth: They expect you to understand that all that is because they LOVE and CARE for you. Funny how they choose to show it. As a guy, you have to do the extra, see the extra, feel the extra and say the extra too. You cannot really do too much, so why not go the extra mile. I mean, she's a lady bro. Get her bags when y'all are heading out Keep her on the safe side of the road if both of you are taking a stroll down the road Be the first to always say "sorry" Compliment her even when she doesn't feel she deserves it Understand this: It's the little things you do that eventually matter. So don't overshoot it by thinking that one heroic deed of yours will keep her hum...

GENDER OFF

Image
So you saw her cleavage, and maybe she even accentuated your spy game by leaning unintentionally towards you whilst having a conversation💋. Now you feel it's weird to have a normal relationship with her because your eyes cannot un-see😳 what it saw huh? Take a bow and feel good, YOU ARE A MAN 🙌 !!! ARE YOU FEELING MANLY ENOUGH YET? 💪 GOOD.  Now look down and see how you let stupidity get attached to you. 😒 For every hug, every smile, every casual hello, or even a nod she gives you at the office or wherever you met her, there must be some sensual pheromone-inspired call💑 attached to it which you think you owe it to your MANHOOD to answer. WOW!!! your case is definitely critical.  IS THERE STILL SPACE FOR SENSE TO BE TALKED INTO YOUR TESTOSTERONE FILLED HEAD? If yes? then please listen... It's not wrong to admire a lady😍, I for one can be faulted for that on several occasions🙈 . I mean God did a great job in crafting the female folk, we can all agree. Here is th...

THE JOURNEY THROUGH ME-VILLE.

Image
It is funny how you look at YOU . Every morning you wake up and stare in front of the mirror, a sense of dissatisfaction envelops you...😞why? Your nose is too big and ugly You are almost going bald Your front teeth is missing  You are too fat You are, in your eyes ugly You have just one functional leg Your skin is scarred terribly You are short You farm pimples on your face You are too hairy (not that it is a sin to be ) Let's put your physical appearance aside... maybe  You are a shy person (in your head) You seem not to have much friends  People don't seem to like you a lot You stutter You are an orphan You get scared easily  You are impatient Trust me, this list could go on forever. The funniest part is that one person could be a victim of all. Yea, i know... suicide seems like paradise at this point. Really? Is it that bad? Keep the answer to yourself. Why do you easily look for and acknowledge every negative thing in your life? Ta...

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 ...

MUSIC SERIES: DO ME A SONG

Image
The ladies will probably understand this and relate with it more. The world of ROMANCE has made it very cute and romantic to have a guy do a song for a lady. I wouldn't say I am innocent of that crime though 😜 . My point? Simple... Everyone appreciates being idolized, even when they do not really ask for it or even need it, be it a man, woman , boy or girl. We all have a god-like side that needs a little polishing every now and then. First off, when you take time to write or compose even just 4lines of a song for someone, it makes the receiver of the song feel: loved important worthy, amongst many others. Now like i said initially, the person most times, never asked for it nor desired such, but the memory stays; if it is a voice-note you sent he/she will probably keep it stored for a long time to come. Now, you mustn't be an award winning songwriter to pull this off. You could simply look out for songs that convey the message to the person you intend doing it for, and...

MUSIC SERIES: THE DANCER IN YOU

Image
Why do you think it is impossible for you to move your body? Now don't quickly blame it on your lack of skill . Relax. Now tell me, what would it cost you to : nod your head when you hear good music shake your somewhat rigid waist to the rhythm of the bass guitar tap your very lovely looking foot inside your shoe;where you have decided to hide it , when YOUR favorite song is played My point ? Simple... Dancing is not a crime nor a sin. and you are not taken less serious when you dance. No matter how uptight you think life has got you looking,   DO NOT let it take the rhythm out of life for you.  Take 5min everyday to listen to some very lovely music and dance your mind to freedom, remember it's more about the process than the steps. DANCE: in the shower while taking out the trash while doing the dishes in the supermarket  when you hear something that makes you smile  EVERYWHERE and with Every opportunity SHOW YOU THE DANCER WITHIN and shak...

COMPLACENCY - THE PERFECT HITMAN

Image
Some dreams never see the light of the day. Some, without will-power of their own, follow one to the grave. If ideas could talk.... If plans could work themselves.... TAKE A MINUTE I know it is good to lead a lovely comfortable life. My issue with this is doing it(being comfy) at the expense of the greatness within you. People try and when they "taste"  success and face a "little" challenge, they fold , hang their boots, and decide to plough through life with the memory of "I once had" "I once was." They become COMFORTABLE !!! My advice to you : Whenever you get comfortable in a place or at a thing, always look out for what more you can do to further task yourself. It will bring out the best in you and most of all bring you JOY. FOOD FOR THOUGHT : You did something and it turned out BEAUTIFUL. Ever wondered what would happen if you put in a teeny-weeny bit of effort to the INITIAL and see of a truth that there are many SHADES ...

THE DAY AFTER

Why do tomorrow , what you can do today. PROCRASTINATION REALLY NEVER HELPED ANYONE. This " not-today-mentality " has made many face life-time opportunities,  ill-prepared .  They are blinded by false hope; Hope not founded on solid truth. Tomorrow really never comes .  Think about it.... by tomorrow, it would be TODAY, and you would be looking forward to another bleak future you have no hold on, simply because you let the present pass. STAND UP AND ACT while daylight still lingers because by midnight tomorrow ends and today begins. Why put the PRO in procrastinate? NOW IS THE BEST TIME TO BE ALIVE. SEIZE TODAY AND CONTROL TOMORROW. #onelookatyou

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.               ...
