The Mind of Man

You never can know the mind of Man in a moment or in his life time; 
it's like the layers of an onion.

The Massacre Of Our Kids In The North

In their sleep,throats being slit,bodies being burnt and a "helpless" governor?
Now I am having goose pimples!

I am speechless.
......
As I just finished typing the above...about to get out of the car. 
I just witnessed a novelty:

2015

Do we really have an opposition party or groups of crass opportunists?
They are now all looking the same to me...am sorry?

Am Just A Speck

Me, a whole me.
Palpable within my space.

But a tiny speck in my neighborhood.

The milieu around me.

But a tiny speck in my country.

My country,my whole expanse.
My earth,limitless.

Money As A Tool

In the world we live today, do not let anyone fool you! After good health, you need money more than anything.

I am not talking about being insanely rich or topping the upper rungs of the Forbes' "the richest list" in your hamlet. Welcoming as that may be, there is that element of luck and hard-work that must ensue to get to that enviable peak.

Award As A Handshake But Not Your Life

Why would any human being set out in life to pursue his or her purpose with a single aim of being decorated with an award? Award by fellow human beings!

When we reflect,we will realise that more joy come the way of award organizers than most receivers eventually.
That's not to say, awards are not welcome or they do not serve their inspirational role. 

A Fashionable Vocation of Our Times

They wear starched shirts and decked in western suits. 
They grab cordless microphones and the like; and they are ready to go. 
Some shout. 
Some speak in low tones.
But I will always feel concerned for those of us whom they "talk down to". 
And my question: Is the SACRED TRUTH being belched from these beings?

Why Contest Luck: No Human Can

I am aware of a very popular female model of international repute based in New York, in the U.S.
Many people may have forgotten that her earlier circumstance was very remote to her favored situation today!
A chanced listening to a radio jingle by a relative or so who got across to her to take part in a local beauty contest.

Going Through Pains Of Evolution

All around us abound the litany of infamous woes about the geographical space, Nigeria.
They could be scary, worrisome, hopeless and helpless. With no head nor tail; to get out of the logjam.
But in all things, be it: systems, ideologies or various convictions of faith, we are simply going through our own unique evolutionary stages.

Religious Rascality: Our Bane?

Don't give me religion. 
Give me righteousness ( hey...who is?) 
Give me justice and agape love,
then you'll see me crave the more for the Almighty!

Iyo ati Ori: Salt and Sheabutter

In Yoruba, "Iyo" is edible salt, while "Ori" is Shea butter.
Both useful to man. Both can be gotten in its raw form, as nature bequeaths them to Man.
So a name I give this blog is the combination of these two words written thus.
"Iyo ati Ori" which is salt and sheabutter.

Why these two elements of nature?
There is this lesson about how as Man we are not perfect and our situations might not necessarily be, in our journey through our earthly existence...
Pains and joy we are bound to experience.
