This Francis: We're Watching You

You are a repentant but fearless warrior of the message.

One of the tiny but flickering lights in the dark global fortress of pretenders.

Pretenders who claim to be the messengers of the "good news"

President Museveni on Gay

I was really fatigued about this issue and I had to force myself to read it mindful of any knee-jerk emotional reaction from me. 

The Uganda President has shown so much latitude and exhibit a huge control of subjectivity and enlightened one in this sensitive matter about the human race.

Remembering Luck Dube

Luck Dube.  1st dec 2007

His, was the lone voice

Jo'burg, his wilderness.

Gov Peter Obi

He may have his warts.

Which mortal does not?

He has done well for the people of Anambra.

He has.

At The National Conference

Sheikh Nurudeen Lemu.

If we are looking for part of the solution of Nigeria's problem, 

I guess this cerebral man has offered a truth.

For those who want to hear, let them hear him out.

For his intro, I salute his courage.

Sign of The Times

The Prof. wont teach well again.

His mind is on how to become a P.A.

To who?

To his erstwhile student;

who now sits in the red or green chamber.

...

Lets change the game for equity; for our future generation.

Poor Crimeans

They are being arm-twisted by the super powers!

Mmmgh.

Killing Stress

When we are stressed, as we all are.

We talk football.

We call in on phone-in tv/radio programmes.

We send text msgs.

Kids and Terrorism

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 becoming speechless.

The True Message of The Messenger

Then:

He knew the milling crowd were physically hungry.

He bothered. 

He fed them till they were satiated.

Lenin

I came across this beautiful statement recently:

"There are decades when nothing happens, but there are weeks when decades happen" by Lenin.

London 2011 Olympic Logo

Designing with a good intention at times might end up in not being acceptable by the general public. 

A similar occurrence where a huge amount of money spent on an advertising concept, might fail a brand.

Creative works walk the thin line between acceptability by all and the logic in the mind of the creator at onset.

My personal opinion. 

The London 2011 Olympic logo was too jagged.

An IMF Man & An Hotel Maid

What is justice in the hand of Man?

The rule of law is an "imperfection". 

Between the two  individuals, the perfect truth is known, therefore, the culprit is known also.

Time and Power

Time is powerful but it is always patient!

Photography Is A Joy

Good Photography for me is a joy!

It is about the soul of the maker and the world.

An evolving phase which fleeting moments are captured forever.

Just like the Edo sculptures of Old.

And I want to be the one, the Divine uses.

To record the bit in time and my time here.

Be As A Child

Adults are too complicated,

Even me.

Jesus the Christ knew better; he illustrated the kingdom of God as children.

Fashion Foolery

All fashion styles are the same. 

What changes are the mood and the anatomy of the human mannequins.

And the time too.

Mannequins that get adorned in the different cuts, fabrics, threading, colour and accessories. 

Its all in the mind.

But the press and the couturiers want us to see them, otherwise.

Who hasn't seen a red hued fabric before? Who hasn't seen a one shoulder...?

Man and His Diatribe

Man and his imperfection! 

A "white" man is killed.

A "black" man is killed.

Same day, by fellow Man.

A complicated world of racism.

Eko o Ni Baje !

The other day, a state government in Nigeria led by an intuitive Governor, saved the life of a civil-servant friend of mine!

How? 

Africa and It's "Animal Farms"

Africa and its "Animal Farms"

Enenche Akogwu !

Fallen journalist.

May your courageous spirit live on.

It was a sad for me even as I did not know you.

More so when defenceless journalists get killed.

Whitney Houston

This a.m., I still have these goose pimples about the demise of the soulful Whitney Houston!

As her battle went on,there was always the feeling, if she would be victorious.

But I doubted by her appearance and the loss of the timbre of her voice at the comeback in London.

I-pad and I-Slate

Hey, is the I-pad really elegant?

Maybe because I don't have one or I can't afford it.

I really don't know why. 

I saw a few people, the other day, taking pictures of their loved ones with it.

It simply brought back the feeling - for those of us who used wooden slates as writing materials as school kids.

"Oyinbo" and technology... 

Mmmgh, they quietly thrust on us 'sha'...

Dr Peter Obinitie

Let me put it simply. 

A knife embedded in the brain of a naval rating-in mufti- by hoodlums, in Jos, was successfully removed by a team led by Dr Peter Obinitie of the University of Jos Teaching hospital.recently.

The unsung heroes!!!

Aping The Asian Tigers?

 On arrival at Incheon aiport (a nice airport,I would say) for the Nuclear Summit; 

on TV, you see the glee and the smiles on the faces of the government retinue.

He Disappears with Their Sweat

A man sits on top of the national pension fund.

And he decides that he will clean out the whole coffer!

Contributions belonging to those who have sweated their blood, brains and brawns over the years.

And "The Man Died"

Doing surgery with light from a torch in a government hospital in a city and not in an isolated jungle.

Nurses discussing about their hair in an emergency hall while a matcheted,dying security guard is unattended for X-Ray.

Do you blame them?

"Eni to kan, lo mo" ( who feels it, knows it)

Chief Ebenezer Obey Fabiyi

I remember a great Nigerian music icon today:

"The Commander"

Wishing him more beautiful years on earth; many more healthy and rewarding years ahead, Amen.

It noteworthy that, the likes of Dr. Mike Adenuga Jr had had cause to show practical love to this unique musical artiste, while he is still alive.

Killing Stress in Nigeria

When Nigerians are stressed, as we all are.

We talk football.

We call in on phone-in tv/radio programmes.

We send text messages.
