His writings his thoughts; beneath the obvious he found joy. He wrote for redemption; his words his expression. He wrote because in writing; he found vast understanding. He tore through the blocks; his heart he poured.

Some, rather most organizations reject his CV today because he has changed jobs frequently (10 in 14 years). My friend, the ˜job hopper™ (referred here as Mr. JH), does not mind it. well he does not need to mind it at all. Having worked full-time with 10 employer companies in just 14 years gives Mr. JH the relaxing edge that most of the ˜company loyal™ employees are struggling for today. Today, Mr. JH too is laid off like some other 14-15 year experienced guys “ the difference being...
Read MoreQuickie: Words
Speak/write and let your words be remembered, let them serve as an inspiration to others, let them encourage and give hope, let them bring understanding and revelation to the one confused and in doubt, let them be heard as a testimony of a great mind, let them be used to teach the coming generation. People look to wise sayings to shed light on dark areas. I seek in my writings to say things that can be read to provide understanding sought or challenge retractable opinions. This year I have read some really impressive stuff from so many of my peers. In fact I now look for inspiring words not from the Churchills and Socrates of the yesteryears but from the people I interact with everyday. Here on Facebook I have read from some of the finest writers; I have learned...

I am part of a lost generation and I refuse to believe that I can change the world I realize this may be a shock but “Happiness comes from within.” is a lie, and “Money will make me happy.” So in 30 years I will tell my children they are not the most important thing in my life My employer will know that I have my priorities straight because work is more important than family I tell you this Once upon a time Families stayed together but this will not be true in my era This is a quick fix society Experts tell me 30 years from now, I will be celebrating the 10th anniversary of my divorce I do not concede that I will live in a country of my own making In the future Environmental destruction will be the norm No longer can it be said that My peers and I care...

It’s the life we chose Where work becomes home And you think the stress won’t take you out before you know? It’s the life we chose Where dough becomes enthroned And you let its lack lead you to your biggest low It’s the life we chose Where love can grow cold But the hurt can only seem like it will never go It’s the life we chose Where friends become foes With the reasons not disclosed cos it brings them low It’s the life we chose Where hate submerges race And the color of ur face will make em segregate It’s the life we chose Where hope can never die And you can strive for change while you’re still alive

Almost thought that I would not see this day When the perils of the white house would fade away Was perplexed thinking: would there be an end to this? When depression without my inkling knocked on the door to my crib The hardship, pain and the biting Guilt from the failure they said we were courting From grace we fell? I can’t tell But was never late to salvage what was left Though they had no love left to give Held our own we did and bid them still We made a choice, to find the buoy We rose against the odds, we fought like we ought Truly we made it at a price and yet? We know no regrets It’s one of the skirmishes, on the road to riches Baby it’s the life we chose, say welcome to El Dorado PS: For those who insisted on one (extra-year) when they were offered...

The story of your life is a summary of the choices you make day in day out and their additive consequences. It is basically a picture you paint as the years go by. For starters, choice has nothing to do with good or bad; right or wrong. It is a chosen line of action amidst other possible or “impossible” alternatives. I realize that the concept of choice can seem nonexistent when we find ourselves in certain situations. I also understand that this line of thought is flawed. We can make choices that eventually lead us to a point where it seems like we no longer have options; though unpopular or tilting towards impossible, an alternative exists. It is easy to choose what to eat, what to wear, the beer to drink, parties to attend, friends to keep but few bother to...
Read MoreInterview With God
Saw this and it blew me away so I decided to share. Enjoy! I dreamed I had an interview with God. “So you would like to interview me?” God asked. “If you have the time” I said. God smiled. “My time is eternity.” “What questions do you have in mind for me?” “What surprises you most about humankind?” God answered… “That they get bored with childhood, they rush to grow up, and then long to be children again.” “That they lose their health to make money… and then lose their money to restore their health.” “That by thinking anxiously about the future, they forget the present, such that they live in neither the present nor the future.” “That they live as if they will never die, and die as though they had never...
Read MoreTimepast – “August 17th 2001 – November 7 2008”
It was a long journey; 7 years of everything; the good, the bad and the in-betweens. Five months ago it came to an end and today the transition to the life-after complete. I took an hour to remember how it all began and inevitable I miss some of the times. I miss my first night in OAU when I hooked up with my old friend Ivenso who introduced me to AY and IK and we drank beers and Chelsea till the wee hours of the morning (talk about starting off on the wrong foot!) I miss when we used to play basketball every other day in part 1 and we never went for lectures I miss the hangouts of the original “School 1” (AY, Ivenso, Babi, IK, Tolu, Fallopian and Mafi) I miss the gatherings at A6 the headquarters of our movement in part 1, everyone was there I miss the night...
