Who and what are the failed past? Part 2



Who and what are the failed past? Part 2

Source: Numbers 22: 21-39 (Balaam and the talking donkey)


I know many consider the talking donkey experience as a miracle but I want to challenge your thought again, that was more of a reflection of a madman, not a miracle.


The donkey itself expressed its disappointment in his master's actions, that his sudden refusal to carry out business as usual will be termed as disloyalty and rebellion. The same way some of your charlatans have termed some of us to be anti-Christ.


The donkey is much more committed to the cause than the owner and the difference was in their sanity and not in their loyalty.


The donkey was still sane to see/perceived beyond its senses, but the owner was no longer sane. If the donkey had not refused the desire of a failed yesterday a looming disaster would have consumed the tomorrow of the two.


Take a clue from the donkey, and influence yesterday by listening to something better so that tomorrow would be visible/clear.


To be honest with you, I am not expecting much from this generation may be the next or next or next generation.


But,

"I don't want to wake tomorrow, to see today" - Seun Ayilara

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
