 Here I am at this very moment taking in all of the beauty that Nigeria has provided us with, the beauty that is concealed in all of the rush and pandemonium, if we could just stop for a moment and view Nigeria from above we will see that she is truly amazing, she is a country that weave together people of diverse culture, a land that is smiled upon by nature, and filled with people that has great and innovative ideas and the will to bring them  to life,  But the truth is you can hardly see her beauty now because her eyes are clouded by the smoke of corruption and her heart darken with greed. Her morals are diluted,  her beliefs are exploited, Her children are suffering...

I know that from the moment we are born into this world our clock start ticking We start measuring our life from the moment we are able to distinguish Good from evil, We shape our lives by the decisions we take, and by the company we keep. Somebody said that the choices we make, make us, failure or success is a choice So if we live our lives knowing that we can't take anything with us when we die I will advice that we should learn to do good We should learn to show love, it's free. We should try to put smile on people's faces or help dry their tears We should learn to give our t

When am happy they become my Melody, When am sad, they lead me to my diary My words are my companion they follow me wherever I go, They are my inner glow They are like food to my soul They are my building blocks When am on the ladder of words, I can see the whole world I thought I can change the world with them but somehow I  ended up changing myself and that's ok, for a man to move a mountain he must first learn how to move himself So I learn to always speak well firstly to myself and then to others And in so doing am shaping the world I want my children to grow in with enriching words let your word build up and not break down let it be calm and soothing let it be wise © Emurotu Akpowevwe Roy
