Yes!

The life of another is important as yours. Never put another man down. It's against the whole essence of creation.

Stop it! I hate you!

Nobody's life and destiny is meant to be subject to another. Why selfishly manipulate the life of another young boy/girl who would have been the solution to some many of this world's unending problems by using his/her entire life as an object to fulfil just your household duties, pay them little, chatter their self esteem and at the end render then useless to themselves and the world. Am committed to putting am end to this menace. All are equal before God. In my lifetime no bother will be to nothing. We will make it happen.

Choice

I won’t say I have been perfect in all ways

But i wonder how many times I will fall before getting my path straight

Now it occurs to me that a man’s problems are not really those caused by others

But what he chooses or chooses not to do

Believe me, if a man can control what he does or does not

Then he can control the outcome of his Life

God always have better plans for us

That does not change nor cease

But then, the ‘how much ‘ of God we enjoy is proportional to the ‘how much of how’ we respond to Him

This then makes me understand,

That our lives and future now lies in our hands

We decide what to do with it

Only then can God’s purpose and plans be fulfilled in us

You Live On

We weren’t too much of pals, nor were we as close as been called Acquaintance.
Our parts had only crossed but a few times.
Had only know him as member of Parables; the drama unit of the Rhema Chapel Campus Fellowship, UniIlorin.

Looking at him from afar, He Had not looked as much as one with much
But my first impression was quickly erased as soon as he came close
As soon as his mouth let them out; his words and wisdom
As soon as I opened up my ears to absorb the awe of his mouth.
A new impression was formed within me

His creativity and entire sense of humor had been of extraordinary excellence and spontaneity
Which had always been exhibited when the fruits of his imagination had only saved a difficult time, and had often meant the success of another profound presentation.
But in his Obedience and Passion to be of use to his beloved root
The Murderers of Subsistence had brought so soon an end to His Existence

Bright, Smart, Good Looking, Loving
His Wide and Sincere Smile….
His Ingenuity, Resourcefulness…..
A Christian of Noble Birth.

Had they known His Dreams and Aspirations
The solutions his future holds to the tragedy of this nation
They would simply had passed by and found somewhere else to vent their so called anger to the polls that had been the most successful
But they didn’t
And he had only gone to be with His Lord in a much better place
And now, the realization of a New Nigeria is one soldier short of its initiators.
Leaving  us yet with much more work to do

And now their children will only have more to suffer and endure
Because their fathers have put to death
 The ones they should have adored and treated with utmost care and reverence.
The ones that would have been instrumental in ending the misery they have found themselves
And brought light to their plight

OLUWATOSIN
You are gone, but forever you live in our Hearts.
And I ask that the God of Heaven will keep and guide our Corpers
And cause peace to reign in our dear nation.


Dedicated to all corpers who lost their lives in this recent crisis.

Life's Hurts. Life Hurts

Life in itself is Pain. the bad, the worst and the Ugly.
Trouble comes unanticipated. man lives the way he feels and wants and many times at the disadvantage of his fellow.
some hurt others intentionally, some people feel hurt which is due just to the ignorance and mistake of someone else.
But in all of Life's hurts and pain. Remember that no one;i mean no one is left with that sole responsibility of determining how you react to it. you can cry, feel bad, shout, weep,run or do whatever will make you feel better, but never let it away from you-your life is entirely yours.

To my Best Friend

Twas Just like every other day
Where the tides of life had snatched the sail.
And the crown of rest is laid away.
Where The in-competencies of our dark countrymen had come to play.
And our light had been made to bail.
Just then at this moment of time.
You walked in.
With echoes of resounding silence.
Bringing fresh feelings of inexplicable melancholy.
Denying your comfort it's natural habitation.

Why? To check on him, who had become as close.

Though your presence met in seclusion, a rather opaque absence.
Still at that time you let out with such osmo-regulated precision.
With such piercing sweetness.
The words: .........I've been trying your numbers........I'm getting worried ......
There and Then I discovered that man in all of his form and race, tribe and custom, sex and type is filled with just this: the desire to feel cared for, loved, appreciated, accepted, honored, respected.....happy, joyful.....
Because at this point the whole world in all of it's size and shapes, matter and mass, seas and oceans, highs and lows, mountains and valleys, beauty and course, positions and power, peace and war, riches and wealth-in all of it's entirety became nothing as it all laid silent and bare in the depth of my palm.

I wanted nothing more.
I was happy!
And I was Happy That someone cared.
Though worried that you were worried.
I was....
Happy!!!
Thank you my best friend for checking on me.

Beginning to see.....

When the eye is beginning to see what only its ears have ever heard of, its mind has only ever conceived or what its precious heart has always longed after; then the words “am beginning to see clearly….” wouldn’t be that of a ‘blurred vision’, But that of a right sight, quite as that of a knight, which only has succeeded in beholding; even in such plight, as of a fright that comes with the darkest of nights, a bright light which others in their entire might, have had to climb height, fight, but yet, have never been able to hold so tight.
Yes!! Because I’m beginning to see so clearly what a wonder you are and just how important you are to me.

Life

The more we Live the more we Learn...........................

Maybe

Maybe because you catch my attention when I gaze at you
Or maybe because of the grace with which you walk and move
Or maybe of the eloquence with which you speak
Or the wisdom you Judge with
The Ideas that flows from you

Maybe of the perspective from which you view the world
Or just from the paradigm and mindset that governs your entire way of life
Or from the training and up bringing you've had
Or from your entire background which yet had failed to put your back on the ground
Or of some experiences you've had while growing up which am yet to know about

Maybe cos of the way you encourage me
Or of the way you correct me when am wrong
Or how you advice and offer direction when am confused
Or how you just stick around to hear all my trash and faults without condemning
Or maybe just from you presence I enjoy time after time

Maybe because of that voice that resounds with the richest vibrato have ever heard
Or of the pitch with which you express you self with melody and piercing sweetness even though have heard but for a few times
Or of your skills of writing even though you have not harnessed yet enough for me to be caught by it's enchantment

Maybe from the fact that you have come to Know what Living in abundance means
Or maybe you have had you Future secured in the hands of him who designed the end form the beginning
Or maybe because of the way your patiently follow Him all the way, letting him lead you all times
Or the value you place in your relationship with him

Maybe it's just because of the fact that you are who you are
Or of the personality you have
Or from the Beauty that's on your outside
Or the fact that you are golden on the inside

Or maybe I don't know which of this is catch my attention
Or maybe because am not sure what exactly is making me write this
Or feel this way
Or admit this



But I guess am just Hooked up on you.........
If you will rather find me a place to stay among this
Then I decide to just stay on a while Longer
Fearing no other place in this world might offer such awesomeness and awe.

From A Naughty Boy

To tell you am sorry is like the same song you keep hearing from me
You have been patient enough
Only dearly as a father would be
But to call you Father is to underestimate you
Even those who were better than I were only close
I come Oh lord to tell what I am
I hide nothing, only humbly I come
To beg and plead is what I come to do
If only you will make me whole and perfect
If only you can help me loose the devil's mind
You save me and make me right
But patiently I'll wait
Till your work in me is completed
And I certainly;y reach perfection
When you love is only dearly in my heart

I love you Jesus
I love you Father
And am so sorry

My Pride

He came right to me
Looked me in the eye
Wondering what kind of a monster i had become
At least in his eyes

He questioned my excitement
He questioned my energy,my strength
He wondered why a young man like me would still keep raising his Hopes
He could not comprehend my love
My love for that which had failed repeatedly

He mentioned the Killings in Jos
The epileptic supply of Power
The lack of clean water supply
The kidnappings, the bombings
Militancy
The strained economy
the political Instability
And the the constantly failing electoral system

Then in one sentence he asked
What makes you excited about this?

Why are you so passionate?
Where does your Hope come from?
And what good can still come out of it

Then with a smile I answered

My excitement does not come from that which abounds
Nor from that which prevails
Nor from the past
Nor from the moments

But from the change that has started

From the Future I see every day and night
From the transformation taken place among it's youth
From the Role I am to play in the realisation of a New Nigeria

From this Idraw strength
From this I live
From this I agree:
That come what may; come December 2030, Our dear nation will be the most Favourable nation to live in.
And in those days, Our children will looki at us
And be proud in the 'Hero's their Fathers had being

It's our time to vote for Change
Let's not give up
We will get there

I love my Future
I love NIGERIA

Empty Sin

When out of place. When out of pace with the creator. Life suddenly becomes mundane with feelings of emptiness all coming unexplained. You remember carefully when deep Joy was the order of the day. And you wonder how come you've lost your way. You wonder if God will hear you again. If He could take the pain away. If He could send his latter rain. And take away your shame.
Here I am Lord. Father Forgive my disobedient and stubborn self. Place your joy again in me.
