hey person...
HAPPY post valentine - keep the reason alive regardless of the date...
How are you all... Before I get side tracked, I want to share the story of inhumanity due to trying times... Not a excuse but maybe an exposure to why the black man is still a slave to his desires and ambitions...
Recently in lagos - that city of sin... Where survival is the name of the game, we where regailed by the tale of a woman who ran an orphanage and who kept young girls in different stages of pregnancy in a small room... meanwhile this 'house of horror' had a suposed theatre for maybe preforming operations - speculations where ripe concerning the exact purpose...
Residents of the area came out finally with the arrival of a contingent of policemen sent for by the commissioner of youth... who was the leader of the delegation sent to investigate the matter of the matter of the GOOD SHEEPARD ORPHANAGE...
Suddenly as in all african settings, juju is let lose as an invinsible entity - the woman who ran the establishment, is rendered visible by the incantations of a juju proponent - a member of the OPC delegation who had now joined the fray of actors... (at this point, i strongly advise my readers to suspend disbelief as it serves no purpose at all...)
Anyway to cut a long story short, justice was served and victory for all or so the newspaper would have us believe, was acheived...
But then again, they found human bones at a site at the back of the orphanage so what gives....
Till later,
your comments please....

Back in grace... Thank God for little favours...
Hey as I live eat and fart... No pun intended!
How are you all? A question that assumes that I meet you all in God's grace and favour...
Now to the diasection for the day...
A while back - I pondered on the deeper lessons that life throws at us - we are actually a lot smarter than we look but we're so busy re-inventing the wheel that we don't and can't move on - until someone challenges the impossible by making it possible...
To do this we challenge conventions and standards - we pave the way for new frontiers and open the path way of the unexplored...
Matrix:Reloaded...
"You come to me without why... without power."
That quote got me thinking about alot of things - the nuggets of wisdom that we find expressed in our everyday life is mind numbing - we simply chose to ignore it...
It expresses the power of "Why" and why it is so important... WHY provides reason, justification, motivation, power...
Therefore without why you are powerless - incapacitated, unable to act...
On to more personal matters:
I'm back at work doing what I love to do best. I'm on my feet once more and loving the feel of financial independence that money conveys... The two weeks I spent sitting at home doing nothing apart from reading and making half hearted efforts to dig myself out of the lull... I went for a bank test that had more than two thousand applicants - they selected only a hundred and thirteen for the next stage(113) and then maybe settled for ten or so from that number...
First lesson - the banking industry is still competitive...
Second lesson - left to me, I would prefer to work in the telecommunications, IT, Software development, Oil and Gas but then if wishes were horses - I would ride not walk!
Third lesson - except, you know someone really higher up the economic and social ladder who is prepared to stand as godfather or lady LUCK has a great deal of affection for you - you rarely get what you worked for inspite of the effort you put in...
I haven't heard a word or comment from any of my readers so I assume that I have none - i do this for theraputic reasons - doctor's orders!
Will see you soon or when time presents itself...
Ciao.

In the spirit of love and ....
Love is in the air... Or so a little bird told me one early morning...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
I woke up today...
feeling lost, lonely and gray.
I simply had nothing to do or say.
I also couldn't get away...
From the prison of my fears and doubts
I also couldn't do without...
The love of one gone south.
Abandoned and cast aside like filth
It crept upon me in stealth...
taking away all my possessions, my wealth.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Just had to try my hand to see if I had lost the poetic bent... Apparently, lack of practise has left me rusty - I plan to get it back as soon as time allows...
Happy valentine - one and all... How goes this day of love?
In my case, I have had to gradually come to terms with my lack of means - in a country where one is judged by where and what one is, or has or does...
Anyway, in my limited way I have tried to keep the reason behind the season firmly in mind but it still haunts me...
Mom called yesterday (the 13th), she's fine and was 'concerned' about me and my person... I assure her as best as I can without saying too much - that I am fine apart from my current financial state... She intends to look into the matter and for that I am forever in her debt... (I am SO IN HER DEBT!)
nwanneka and the rest of the clan's alright and that keeps me happy...
Finally, SHE calls yesterday - I'm glad that she called and she's glad that I'm glad so that makes this kind of even...
Will have to taper off at this stage - I'm so full of sh*t today - I feel my thoughts whirling around ma head like some kind of blender...
Keep reading, that's all I ask...
Regards and best wishes of the day - ciao!

Life, life and then some...
hey people...
sorry for the rather haphazard way that i have abandoned da lot of you... I am skinning thru life right now but something about sunshine after da rain... Valantine is around the corner, got me thinking about the gift of life and love and....
My trip to the east for the yuletide celebrations was totally warranted - if only i could do it again... the truth - it was a chance to escape from the grind of a really poor paying job and to finally rest and forget about the unending hustle and bustle of abuja...
I went for a diamond bank test - the result indicated that I was not smart enough to join the banking industry - their loss, my gain... On to other things - i am flat ass broke, a condition that has been persistent since I left abuja for the east and came back... I dont even have transport money to move around or hustle {if only wishes were horses...}
But generally, life could not be any peachier... I am happy but worried, broke but content, currently unemployed and searching and finally....
Happy valentine to you all in advance - as I said life is a gift that should not be abused and love is a state of mind that should be written down as a contract so that it is more binding...
regards people...
