SHAVING THE BLADE!

  

                   SHAVING THE BLADE… Prof Fortune Omosola

                                               

                                            Life is an abstract mechanism

                                             powered by tales and fury

                                    a functioning episode prevailing of humour

                                                 and prevailing ideals

                                         a concept of horror powered by fute

                                              and submerging infertile

                                          temporal, disgusting yet revealing

                                             occupying and transcending

                                                   life, what a mystery

                                             deepened in colossal strength

                                             of myth, aphorism and prejudice

                                                    For all words worth,

                                                     life is an harlot.

DESTINY AND THE GOD FACTOR

DESTINY AND THE GOD FACTOR

AYELESO TOYOSI

                           “Yea, though I walk through the valley

                                   Of the shadow of death,

                                       I fear no evil,

                                  For you are with me;

                        Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.”

 

The human destiny is metaphorical to soap bubbles. While some never rise at all, some rise as though they don’t cause, they fall to the ground as soon as they rise and bust. In the same vein, there are some that rise and continue to move higher and higher till they disappear into heights. It is important to note that all the soap bubbles with their varying experiences are borne out of the same soap solution.

Now comparing it to human life, just as soap-bubbles are borne out of the same solution everyone born into this world is born with what I call the inbuilt ability to succeed”. This is a force that follows every human being that is born on the surface of the earth right from the period of labour. This therefore implies that everyone born into this world is supposed to be a success. Then, this could arouse this important question; “If everyone is born a success, then why is everyone not successful?

Interestingly, the answer is not far fetched and this is where the God factor comes in. The beautiful destiny of everyone that comes carrying success is born into this world, which is the valley of the shadow of death. This “valley of the shadow of death” which we call life is full of cosmic waves, which therefore tend to attack individual destiny depicted as the “soap bubbles”. Fortunately even in this valley full of cosmic waves that tend to blow up the soap bubbles so that they fall, how beautiful is it to note that some still end up rising higher and the sky happens to be their limit.

Full Text of President Jonathan's 52nd Independence Anniversary Speech

Beloved countrymen and women, on this day, fifty-two years ago, our founding fathers brought joy and hope to the hearts of our people when they won independence for our great country. Nigeria made a clean break with more than six decades of colonial rule, and emerged as a truly independent nation. That turning point was a new beginning for our nation.

Those who witnessed the lowering of the Union Jack and the emergence of the Green White Green flag continue to relish the memory, because that ceremony was not just about the destiny of a nation, but the future of a people.

That future is here; we are the inheritors of a great legacy that goes even much farther into the past.
The worthy patriots who made this possible were young men and women in their twenties and thirties. They worked together to restore dignity and honour to the Nigerian people. Their resolve united a multicultural and multilingual nation of diverse peoples, with more than 250 distinct languages and ethnic groups.
In 1960, our diversity became a source of strength, and the new leaders resolved to carry the flag of independence for the benefit of future generations. They had their differences, but they placed a greater premium on the need to come together to build a new nation.
It is that resolve, and that glorious moment that we celebrate today. We also celebrate the patriotism of our heroes past: Dr Nnamdi Azikiwe, Sir Abubakar Tafawa Balewa, Sir Ahmadu Bello, Chief Obafemi Awolowo, Sir Michael Okpara, Chief Anthony Enahoro, Herbert Macaulay, and several others who made the case for our independence.
We remember as always, their contributions to the making of the Nigerian nation, and the efforts of their successors since 1960. We also celebrate the unfailing optimism and resilience of Nigerians who remain proud of our national identity.

A 24 year old boy seeing out from the train's window shouted, "Dad, look the trees are going behind!" Dad smiled and a young couple sitting nearby, looked at the 24 year old’s childish behavior with pity. Suddenly he again exclaimed, "Dad, look the clouds are running with us!" The couple couldn’t resist and said to the old man, "Why don’t you take your son to a good doctor?" The old man smiled and said, "I did and we are just coming from the hospital, my son was blind from birth, he just got his eyes today" MORAL LESSON Every single person on the planet has a story. Don’t judge people before you truly know them. The truth might surprise you. DO AV A SPLENDID WEEKEND... TOYOSI AYELESO

THE HERO IN EVERY1

Heroes didn't leap tall buildings or stop bullets with an outstretched hand; they didn't wear boots and capes. They bled, and they bruised, and their superpowers were as simple as listening, or loving. Heroes were ordinary people who knew that even if their own lives were impossibly knotted, they could untangle someone else's. And maybe that one act could lead someone to rescue you right back.” ― Jodi Picoult, Second Glance
