MY STRENGTH

Let the weak say, “I am strong,” I accept the confession not because you think I’m down or weak, That’s who I am. I am strong not as a man at the war front, but a creature in God’s nature. The energy I emit is not measured in watt, volt, kilovolt or what so every parameter, you can think of. It is measured in grace. Though I walk through the valley and shadow of death, I fear no evil. I fought my mind so many times, and I got defeated. The fight between the mind and yourself is something to be won, some are complex and complicated, others are on life ways. Even when I tried to embrace death, God’s grace became my case. When my efficacy was insufficient in all, God’s grace was sufficient in all. I’ve always wanted to know how life works, I experienced; Joy, Pains, Sad times, and happy moments that I thought would last forever. I have written my expression in black and white, and manifest in action, but still I find no proper definition to life. Some said life is what you make it, and th...

PEACE

WHAT IS PEACE?

DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW MUCH ABOUT PEACE?

DO NIGERIA LEADERS KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT PEACE?

THEY SPEAK PEACE, THEY DON’T TEACH PEACE?

OH WHAT A PITY!!!



      If I were asked concerning one area of life of which the government should give priority to, I will say its peace. Even the bible said “blessed are the peacemaker”. About two weeks ago I heard some numbers of riot, war, bomb blast, exposure and killings. And it has eaten down to the society and it is becoming more ramped making the life of humans like that of a mosquito.

       Peace is an act of being free from disturbance, a state or period in which there is no war, an occurrence of harmony due to the absence of violence, conflict behaviors.

       The insecurity which is as a result of all attacks and bomb blast by terrorist group has made an average citizen to have a doubt about his country’s future. There is now a sense of fear in everybody that somewhere or maybe at our place, there will be a nuclear attack and nothing will be left out after massive destruction. I pity these people and look down upon them as they do not even know the real purpose of creation.

       I feel sad when I say that all these terrorist must be given a taste of the fear which they have cause today in our society at large, but what else can we do? When a disease is inflicted upon one, there is need to take a bitter medicine or the diseases wouldn’t go.

      However in our world today, especially in Nigeria, peace and harmony are facing various treats. Terrorism, religion imbalance, economic disparity and social inequality are some of the factors that stand as treat to the country today.

      We all are so busy with our day to day work and yet want our country to be in peace and harmony. We expect that peace should be omnipresent but we need to realize that if we want peace, we have to live peacefully, loving everyone. It is not enough to stand around asking if peace will ever happen because that wouldn’t do anything. Action speaks loud than words no wonder Emmanuel OC once made a statement “we speak peace, we don’t teach and act like we know peace”. Changes will occur if we truly love each other, but someone has to start his and it is you and I (including our politicians). Mahatma Gandhi ones said “you must be the change you wish to see in your world”.

      Though the constituency of Nigeria gives equal right to every citizen to ensure complete harmony among us. The government alone cannot be responsible for maintaining peace and harmony. Each one of us need to work hand in hand to take our responsibility towards her development.

WHY I HATE NIGERIA UNIVERSITIES

With joy we accepted admission given to us so many years ago, not knowing what we were to face something worst than academic fun and certificate acquisition. Nigerian universities are ACADEMIC JAIL where you are kept in for improper treatment by both non academic and academic staff. Education is fun but schooling is difficult in Nigeria and can also be frustrating and difficult. Welcome to Nigeria where a lecturer will have full-fun in extending the stay of a bright student for about 8 non recoverable years just for no good reason, just because he doesn’t like your face or he feels you know more than him. 90% Lectures see students like slave and it means nothing to them even if the students are crying blood ..(what a creature). In a class a lecturer will open his or her mouth and say even if I teach or not, at the end of the month I will receive my salary and such are been employed monthly. And yet when they ask just a question, and you didn’t give t...

My Depressed Moment 1 comment  ·  2  likes Who am I? I...am a failure. I am weak. I am incertain of myself and my abilities. Do I deserve to live with this knowledge? No, and no one deserves to have to suffer because I am incompitant. I broke one of my rules; I allowed others to see me breakdown and weak. I am worthless. Why do I allow my become vulnerable? What is the point ot remain around after everyone has seen my throat and have been given the tools to cut it? WHy don't I just...end it all? To be honset, I thought about it. Then I thought about everyone I'd be burdening if I did end it. And everything I'd miss out in life. So, here I am; still alive, still a failure... So I was driving to school in my black Chrysler 300 car, and in front of me was a white Chrysler 300, and behind me was a grey Chrysler 300. And the first thought that came to my mind was "this isn't uncommon...", but it gets better; all 3 of us are going to the sa...
