NAGIA.

                     Nagia, a innocent young girl, age 18,she just completed her WASSCE and with a good grade in JAMB she got admitted to MAULAG, mature for a loving relationship. Faithful and hard-working,easy going with enormous potentials. Sanjo who  happen to be an old friend from her village  introduced her to a  innocent looking guy called Jonathan who raked her off her feet with big dreams and his story of a humble background of how he grow up with no shoes and was able to obtain a doctorate degree which she never bordered to check.
                    Oh what a wonderful feeling, love at last! She screamed and who would have talked her out, she's young, vibrant and ready to explore with her new found lover. And so it began, she pledged her allegiance to him and he in return, made her promises of heaven on earth. He mad her believe in him, her mind blow ed off and for the next three 6years they were just roller coasting and like the famous snow white,reality showed up and she woke up from her slumber. Things weren't getting better as promised instead she lost her virginity, her productivity level dropped, her friends who once envied her began to see her as a joke, her CGPA was on life support. At this point she's stocked with mr Jonathan who stylishly has enslaved innocent Nagia, despite all she continued to live each day with a rock solid conviction that things will get better but how she doesn't know. She kept faith in Mr Jonathan and she fasted and prayed, what she didn't know is that Mr Jonathan is a good man but not for her.
                       Fast forward. Mohammed, who had a crush on her during registration in her first year but didn't get along too well bumped into her at the entrance of the school library where he now works. They exchanged contact and they got talking, texting and all sorts. Some of Jonathan's friend left him for his lack of purpose and weakness even the introducer (Sanjo) left him and Jonathan make new friends, now that Nagia has found hope again and the change she needs in Mohammed who happen to be a an old mate of Sanjo where they both studied education. he, Jonathan is now trying his possible best to keep her to himself .

So its all left with Nagia to decide and choose if she wants to CONTINUE with Jonathan or start AFRESH with Mohammed.

2015 GENERAL ELECTION; NIGERIA, IS MY CANDIDATE.



                   With a power generating set I  was privileged to listen to Mrs Toyosi  on Sunday night 15th of march at the event hashtaged GEJwinsIT , where she said she will support her candidate and every other person should support their candidates in the fort coming election. brilliant, absolutely brilliant and this got me thinking who exactly is my candidate? 
 Monday the  16th of march, two weeks to our presidential election i was also privileged to witness the " INVASION OF OPC IN LAGOS" and this, again reminded me of this same question of  who exactly is my candidate in the coming general election? some Nollywood actors came up with an advert which is on major television stations with the theme "FOR THE LOVE OF COUNTRY" this again strike a chord in me once more and L have decided to bare and share briefly, my candid thoughts of the situation.
NIGERIA my country, a country blessed beyond reasonable doubt, a country literally flowing with milk and honey. this is a fact no one deem fit to argue. 
let me remind us that this year election is about you and I that make up the entity," NIGERIA", it is not about the candidates or the about the parties but it is about our security, our economy, our businesses, quality of education, basic amenities, jobs,our diversity,our culture,our beliefs our health, and everything that bring about development. Nigeria, is the  key and most important element here and let this ring on in our minds. politics, politicians and policies are tools and equipments meant for nation building, leaders of selfless services but when these present itself to be otherwise we simply replace because it should be for the "THE LOVE OF COUNTRY"

I have come to realize that the power of poverty is like a two edged sword cutting through the flesh and mind of a person and NIGERIANS happen to be a guinea pig in these case study because we allowed it  and this happen to be a special tool in the hands of some politicians.I once said it that if you want a practical definition of poverty all you need do is go on the streets of NIGERIA. leaders will come and go but NIGERIA will always be here, it is our home, it is our land and we ought to care for it. We are responsible for the people that we choose to lead us and we must always hold them accountable for every of their act and actions.
Is this the NIGERIA of our dream? is this the same  NIGERIA that became independent in 1960? 
let us all ask ourselves this truthful and sincere questions and most importantly what do we need do about it; do we want to CONTINUE with a government that is romancing corruption that happen to be the foundation of our problem or we want a CHANGE in ways our NIGERIA is been governed.



                                                                                                                        Thank you.

LETTER TO THE NIGERIAN YOUTHS.

fellow youths,




image
          

 it is no longer NEWS that the future, our own future is in black and white considering the fact that our very present is in a sinking sand which is so visible.we could go on and on counting our loses but its so very funny and alarming because the futures thieves are amidst us mask-less robbing us in broad day light,they are taking away our futures saying “what can we do about it ” this is is what I Call “murdering of Moses” simply because their Lot already missed it.
strength, they say lies in the youth but I wonder where that of my fellows is.
could the situation of our country be as a result of the failure of our parents to protect their own future which happen to be our own present,will the same be said about you and I. this is not the time to start pointing accusing finger but to make a fist with those fingers as a symbol of togetherness to salvaging our nation.
image
the deed is done and this nation destroyers will not stop except they be stopped, they are killers of dreams and undertakers of hopes.
writing about how bad our situation is, is just a waste of time to me, we all know this things and they are killing us, will it not then be better to loose what is already denied us for a better tomorrow than to continue to live in a  completely failed state.
a situation will forever remain static untill an external force is exerted on it and that external force,am glad to announce to us that it is our action,enough of so many voices that have only succeeded in producing echoes while this criminal minded individuals no longer steal in millions but in billions, there is time for everything, a time to talk and a time to act.what is left to talk about? when the mouth piece of the public is been arrested and detained by the #ogaatthetop# and the religious leader are now commercially motivated (pls read: Jonathan and his commercial prayer warriors by Ayobami Oyalowohttp://t.co/TNaZ0wvvrq) alot is been said and little is been done, my brethren,we have dwell well enough on the mountain of talking let move onto the doing nountain.
some will be like what can we do? excuse me! what can we not do IF we put our mind,body into it.the federal government is weak granting amnesty to murderers and pardoning criminals,tell me what they will grant to us,the majority, with our foot on the ground, not shifting ground with the request for a better leadership while the world is Watching.
youths of Nigeria make up about 70% of the whole population,then what else are we waiting.2015 is around the corner and this people have already began to plan big for their same abracadabra,why are we then still waiting, we the owner of the future.the time is now and now is the time.
we are not asking them to put food on our tables but to make the environment good enough for us to do that because we are not lazy,they are paying militants #60,000/month,proposing another #100,000 for mass murderers while they pay #19,800 to patriotic citizens.this as to stop and it as to,NOW.our basic needs are denied us with no plan or any sign of it, there is a saying I so much believe in that says “if you want something done for you,you do it yourself” since our “marauder” voted leaders lack vision + direction taking us to tarshish instead of nineveh I want to believe its time we rescue our ship and vote the right captain to pilot us to our expected destination.
in summary we are the future and a larger percentage of the eligible voters, our vote is our silver bullet to the problems affecting our nation,depending on how  wise we choose to utilize it.
I dont want my children thinking and saying am not a better citizen of this country.the future is about us and our children,what ever we work toward is what we will get.there is no better way of solving this problems except we do it ourselves
image
let start to prepare our minds towards the next elections (that is if it will take that long) carrying along those that do not have the kind of exposure some of us have.engaging in constructive and a solution base debate.participating in our local community politics and all that we deem fit for the redeeming of our nation.
Like I do say and believe in that the future of this country lies in our hand and our own success lies in the future of this country.
             Thank you.
