Many years ago and probably till a few months ago, I’d wished never to have anything to do with Nigerian national politics except if it had to do with international politics. I guess striving to change some things from outside begins to make obvious the futility of efforts except we can change from within. If I have to make a change, I must go back to undo that wish of mine and begin to nurse a desire to affect the Nation from within.

Often times, we need blessings and assurance,...

I woke up really refreshed
A sense of achievement
Can't see it, don't know it
Yet I feeeeeeeeeeeeel it!

Stay tuned...

The bereavement! Why all the consolation?
Now she has to care for all those little ones alone
Why is this happening to her?
Yes, she’ll go through it, she’ll be strong
It’s her cross and she’ll carry it…yes, she’ll be strong

Then we’re at the party, everyone having fun
Now I find myself outside with a little girl from nowhere
Not mine….her parents must be inside
But I held her hands
Playing and comforting her

Suddenly,...

Afogbon ologbo s'ogbon.....
(He who learns from another's experience.....)

Eni jin si koto.....
(He who falls in the pit, is a lesson.....)

Eshin iwaju.....
(The Horse ahead, is a ......)

Perhaps all these proverbs usually taught at primary ages and I'm almost certain in most, if not all, Nigerian Languages should adorn all civil service institutions.....perhaps, they will read it day in day out and it will become a part of them....

It's becoming very unsettling
that we can only sit here and talk...
And though we moan and groan from morning to night, day to day, weeks rolling into month and year on and on...all our talking fall on criminally deaf ears...

It's very unsettling
that we seem to have resigned easily to fate
And though we started out zealously...they have made us to believe...there is nothing we can do about it...it will only take an act of God to change our Nation......
