WHAT NOW?

They was a storm building outside literally, but the mystery was that they was a ferocious burning storm building in her being, it was finally Graduation day and everyone was over the moon about the fact. We had finished and dusted college life. She was overwhelmed by the fact that everyone kept chanting how now the future was in our hands. Lola, that was her name, she looked down at her placid hands, and imagined working on the “FUTURE” that was now in her hands. What Now? Life was just beginning for her. A college graduate, the first of her kind in all of her maternal family. A graduate of the world renowned Limkokwing University of Creative Technology. “It is a mindset that separates quality from mediocre,” said Tan Sri Dato’ Sri Paduka Dr Limkokwing, founder and president of Limkokwing University. This was the time to challenge her mind, for she knew that it had so much power it could make or break her very being. The mindset is all that matters on your way to greatnes...

THE ROLLER COASTER THEY CALL THE 20'S

The Glorious 20's, you either have been here, or you're here or you are looking forward to being here. Am here, the decisions I make makes everyone turn and stare, those that claim they care for me or those that just like minding my business. The 20's are exhilarating especially if your teens where dull like yesterdays pizza. Your relationships with Family and friends are either getting stronger or they are losing their momentum and fast. You change boys and girlfriends like underwear. You are probably finding yourself wondering if whether your Gay, Lesbian, Transgender or a plain classic Heterosexual. Going through this stages is trying for some if not all while for other its just a breeze through, either because they have support from friends and family or they just don't care who thinks what. You probably have your firstborn or you know a friend or a friend of a friend who is currently at the maternity ward at the nearest hospital pushing new life into existenc...

"THIS IS THE WAY TO INDEPENDENCE" SAID A LITTLE BIRDY

Sometimes like right now i will be seating there wondering where I am going to be in ten years time, will I be the same Amo i am right now? Or something magnificent will have happened to make me into a better me. Then it hit me that the probability is high that i wont like the things i don't like right now. Someone told me what they thought of what i was doing. See i volunteer at this clinic in town, now is that a good thing or bad thing, the person noted how i was working for peanuts in a place that people probably make more than i can fathom. But the reason i got this rude awakening if at all i was sleeping was because to this beautiful person I am an unwanted red blip to their perfect score of changing lives. I am that one person who refused to change even though i was given every opportunity to do so. Now was the person right in thinking i should probably do what they do? I could probably make money if i put my heart into it, but that was the problem my heart wasn'...

A LETTER TO MYSELF

We almost always know when we are doing something that is wrong but we go on and do it any way. I wonder why this is, because am one of the people who do this, its wrong. Just recently, i defied what is right just because i wanted to be like everyone, this meaning that, you know they are those people who glorify the land you walk in because they believe you will be their savior of something. Jesus has already died for everyone, though they still put this weight on you, but then again this is not an excuse to sin, but yes we still do it anyway. Humans still continue to look to people for salvation and substance when God, Abba Father promised them he will take care of them, all they are to do is look to him. Still they are looking to that one person, organisation [government], and or that quick fix really, that they believe will be the answer to all their struggles. Thats is temporary. This is a letter to myself, reminding me that though am human and will fall short of his glory, ...

Finalement vous tomber du wagon.

She always looked put together, It might not have been fashion wise, but she was always clean and presentable, or at least she tried. Ooh she is very beautiful, she didn't need anyone who does not matter to tell her other wise. She has faith, she believes. She is just like extraordinary folk, but one day it happened. The very unexpected of her by the the people around and herself happened. She fell off the wagon. No one could believe it. She couldn't believe it.  It had happened, what did this mean for the supposed "perfect" little lady? Was she now supposed to wallow in shame and think she was not worth what she has been aspiring to be, the very thing that has driven her to where she is at the moment. Thank God she still had some sense in her, she sought some council. She had an older wise friend, who knew more than she did, he told her. "The best thing to do is to accept the position you are in now and decide what to do now that you are in this positio...

TIME MAGAZINE CALLED IT BACK IN JANUARY, 2016

Will america be great again?? Time Magazine cover published on January 7th, 2016 It seemed like a joke when i learnt that, one of the things i thought will never see success in the light of day had happened. Trump had won the USA presidency,  and He will go on and be the next President of the free world in a little less than 40 Days 977 Hours. USA politics has now become to look like a very Dramatic reality show from hell. Well the unthinkable happened and that is that. What now is left for those in America and the whole world is to hope that he doesn't mess it up, especially for those who backed him up, when it seemed to the world he was just in thrill ride that was safe and eventually everything will go back to normal, by any other presidential candidate who has been in the business of politics won the presidency. To tell the truth He shut me up. He has since made me believe that indeed crazy things can happen in this crazy world of ours. I used to tell people how ...

ON THE CONVERSE

CONVERSE,  What comes to mind when i hear this words? first i thought of the popular sneakers worn by youth all over the world, or better yet engaging in a conversation or even the cloth used by painters to paint on, which is spelled  differently of course, but what the hell. But what particularly comes to minds when i think about this word, is the journey we are on and the different types of converses (thus in the form of shoes/shields) each  and every one of us have to wear to maneuver in this journey called life. we are born in different environment all of us and everyone is given each according to their ability, so the type of converse am wearing at a given time should be strong enough to get me through the times i will be in at that moment. But this is not what runs through many people's minds when situations in this life are tiresome or just plain terrible. Often we think we have been dealt a fuller cup than we can hold, even if in some cases we w...
