Dear Mum



In few days time would be your birthday unlike the tradition, I would not be publicly celebrating your birthday because of the course presently on ground #endpolicebrutality #endsars #endbadgovernanceinNigeria #Nigeriaundercontruction. The reason is simple parents have lost their children towards this struggle and it could have been myself. So for that reason I would assume I died with the ones that have gone for now.

Until a time where the lives that have gone wouldn't be a waste. Obviously Nigeria is under construction and I can not go party under these serious times of building. My brothers & Sisters need me more right now. And just like Christ in Mathew 12:48, "These are my true bothers & sisters".

I thought the biggest gift from me to you would be to take you abroad for your first trip to the western community, but in recent time I am beginning to have a rethink that the biggest gift after all to you, might just be to create the western world here in Nigeria ( A country described by American President "Donald J Trump as a shit hole")

I know your generation could have done more than 'yes ma/yes sir (zombies)' approach but I am also grateful for the sacrifice you made to stay on a job for 35 years so you could raise Me. I am indeed grateful for what you have to endure to guarantee good education, food, water, electricity etc...

Going forward my generation want to do more than just that, we want to build a Nation, a Country and truly indeed a Home. So, our approach would be different because we are trying to achieve a different result/goal. My advice to you don't discourage me (sorosoke generation) just Pray.


From Your Son

To the Super Mum of my Time

Time Validates

Hey there. Let's set the alarm for a productive day ahead. Before diving in, let's acknowledge the date, which might vary depending on where you're tuning in from. Now, let's get to it. But first, a word on the political and economic landscape here in Nigeria. It's crucial to recognize that the political elite often prioritizes their own interests over those of the people. Trusting them blindly is akin to living in a cycle of déjà vu, where they justify their actions while contradicting the interests of the people. Remember the proposal some time back that all politicians should educate their kids within Nigeria? The dismissive response to that idea was telling. It's clear they prioritize their own convenience over the needs of the people. We mustn't be naive to think they have our best interests at heart. It's imperative for us, the citizens, to organize and protect our own interests. Unity among us is paramount, transcending divisions based on religion

The Merchant of Venice

I got to the point of deliberately using movies as an extension of my library. It was 2 weeks to the exam and the book "Merchant of Venice" would not enter my skull no matter how hard I tried, it was a book written by Shakespeare and like the usual Shakespeare style of writing this would be a bit technical also because of its settings (in literature setting means the actual place and time of an event). This literature is centred around the old Italian environment. So there were many terminologies used in English that were unclear because of the Italian twist. Don't forget it was 2 weeks before the WAEC (West African Examination Council) Exam.  The Twist - So my beautiful literature teacher got informed that there was a premiere of the Merchant of Venice book (the movie) at another school and gave us the update. It was the needed update very sure than any 'maga or fraudsters' update would rely on. It was a turning point in how I would begin seeing and interacting w
