THE FUTURE IS NO TIME ZONE (2)

I believe you are aware that Nigeria as a nation recently celebrated her 54^th anniversary. It was wonderful, though not a jamboree like the earlier ones. If anything, at least we are cutting down on the euphoria of age. After all, age is nothing but a number, right? There was no elaborate celebration to celebrate the day unlike the preceding years where giant national cakes were cut with parades in the capital city. It was a normal day only mentioned in whispers and media houses who were only obliged to remember such day and probably businesses who only exploited the day are worth a mention. In the lives and mind of the average Nigerian working like a possessed laborer just enough to be broke, the day meant nothing. I don’t blame him. With age, you expect wisdom. However, we have learnt the hard way that old age is not tantamount with wisdom. Well, with experience yes but experience does not always translate into wisdom. Does it? So let me use this medium to say happy belated Independence Day. I have this staunch believe that the next time I will get to say that to you, we will indeed have cause to holler it and be happily justified. It is a dream I hold tenaciously to. You should too. We have just one country, don’t we? Let’s together make it worthwhile. I believe in friends, in you, in the country. Do you?

The Future Is No Time Zone

Voila! I’m back again. It’s good to be back. How are you? Me? I am fine, thanks for asking. How was your week?

I have been itching to talk with you. I missed you. Don’t mind me. I am quite the emotional type. Now here we are. So what do we talk about today?

So, where should we head today? Let’s do a little bit of politics today. After all, a lot is happening in our country that demand we talk about. From there on, we will move on to something interesting that burns in my heart.

NOT GUILTY - I LOVE BEING ME!

Hey guyz. How do you do? I am fine. Thanks for asking. I am obliged to narrate an ordeal. Mind if I do? Thank you.

You see, 2face alongside MI in there song, ‘Nobody’ said and I quote “If nobody talks about you, then you are nobody - whether na truth or na lie them dey talk”. True enough? By the way, the song was beautiful.

Well, I am me and here I am, before the court waiting to be judged.

Here comes the court clerk, her grace on his heels. ‘All stand!’ the clerk bellows. I almost wilted.

Gotham City - Africa

Gotham City - Africa

An imagistic and prophetic song by legendary American musician, Robert Kelly which popularized such a euphoric place that very much sounds like paradise! It exceedingly inspires me to mull of such a city. Permit me to quote the lyrics as I progress.

I’m looking over the skyline of the city, how loud quiet nights in the mist of crime. How next door to happiness lives sorrow and signals of solution in the sky

Robert Kelly was vaguely providing a microscopic observation of Africa.

It's All About You

Let’s spend some time to converse and reason together. Shall we?

Thank you.

This conversation shall be about you. Yes, you heard me. You! Who else is there to dedicate a conversation to if not you? You are all I’ve got!

So let’s not waste precious time and get to it already.

Often times you wonder why you have to go through one accident or the other. It is only right to feel let down by physical, mental and spiritual forces. After all, we exist only in these three, right? Through these struggles, you realize you are nothing but a pawn on a chess board at the expense of the chess master (s). Some of us are knights, some kings, some queens, and some nobles while some are just ordinary plain expendable men. We call them average these days, mind you. Since they have rejected being called ordinary, we can only pacify their wounded egos. I fall under this category.
