THE GREATEST OF MINDS THINK ALIKE

The greatest of minds think alike
I dedicate this to a think-tank
Blessed & dressed with a great mind
One I greatly envy

Speciality about great minds
Bravery & greatness
Loud & proud
but wrapped modestly in honour

Compassionate & cheerful
Words boldly written in their hearts
thick as slogans
& as scriptures carved on ancient stones

TO FINALLY BE BLESSED

In this world of unrest
Clouded by protest
Blinded by contests
Obsessed, depressed & oppressed
Caged in a little nest

Afraid of distress
Just to be at rest

A blessed one came to impress
God!!! She's really blessed
She became my chest
One I could confide in

WHAT EVER HAS A BEGINNING HAS AN END

My heart weeps for the innocent and departed souls in Maiduguri and Yobe, the pain and sympathy goes beyond the four square walls of Nigeria, but also to each innocent soul killed without a reason.

Living in fear sucks, YES it does!!!
The leaders are clueless!!
The masses are confused!!!
The bereaved are in enigma and confusion!!!

WE ARE THE CHANGE THAT WE SEEK

Whenever things go wrong we are quick to point fingers at the persons in authority. I am yet to see a man or woman who is flawless. We are all imperfect; we make mistakes and wrong decisions at some point in our lives. So rather than being quick to judge whoever may be on the hot seat, why don’t we encourage them bearing in mind they are humans like us and are prone to flaws.

WHEN LOOKING BACK IS NECESSARY

A lot of times, we have been in situations where we were clueless as to what to do next. We behave uniquely in times like this, and this is due to our orientation, or as a hippy guy would say “OT”.
Most people would panic, others would freeze, and a few others might act out of proportion only to regret afterwards.

There is a school of thought that says,“If you can’t fly, run. If you can’t run, walk. If you can’t walk, crawl but just keep moving.”
I am in no way saying that this idea is bad, but it is definitely overused.
I call it overused because I want to believe that sometimes we should look back at what we have done in the past and assess it in order to know if there are aspects of our lives that need fine-tuning.

JUST DON’T SAY IT

For a little over 7 months I've struggled with my looks. I haven't exactly liked looking at myself in the mirror and the word 'diet' has probably become my 2nd most used word. My friend and sis, Eva, is certainly tired of my bants.
Have I put on weight? Yes? Did I change the quantity of food I used to eat? No. But somehow every other person has managed to stay the same. So what happened to me? :(
Yeah these were the stuff that clouded my mind... But instead of wallowing in self pity, I decided to exercise and apply the 80/20 rule to what I eat. Meaning 80% of the time I'm eating fruits and vegetables, drinking lemon and water and well once in a while, I indulge.

STAYING FRIENDS WITH AN EX

Though some people are more than comfortable with the idea of being buddies with an ex, others and when I say others, I mean a vast majority, believe it to be wrong and inadvisable to stay friend with an ex, at least not immediately after a break-up.

SOME FACTS ABOUT LIFE

Growing up feels like forever. But the truth is, we all have to grow old someday. I have come to accept the feeling of not knowing where I am going, but gradually as u take a step it unfolds. Keep striving hard, be determined, and success is all yours. Some say: the sky is the limit, I say no. it's only the starting point. With hard work + determination=success.
