MY WORDS AND I

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

LIVING WITH THE END IN MIND

They say we leave this world just the way we came into it Naked and alone. So if we do leave with nothing, what then is the measure of a life? Is it define by the people we choose to love? Or is life simply measured by our accomplishments? What if we fail or we are never truly loved? What then? Can we measure up? I can't say I have all the answers but this much I know. 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

THE WAKE UP CALL

A great philosopher once said, "Man know thyself" you can be deceptive to others but you cannot decieve yourself You know your true identity, you know the kind of things you engage in behind close doors, You know when your heart is pure, you know your flaws Irrespective of who you are or the kind of life you live, there comes a time when you will have to decide on the type of person you want to become It happens, you wake up one morning and it's like your whole being is telling you to change, Your conscience is pricking you from the inside, and letting you know that you can become a better version of yourself You may try to shake off the feeling, but the more you try the more resilient it get, it bothers you, it keeps you up at night, that is Jesus, the master of the universe, He is the one knocking at your door, He so love you and he wants to get close to you, all you have to do is just let him in. He will take you on the best journey of your life, he will

HOW I SEE NIGERIA

 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...
