Radiation Smadiation

So there's a Solar Eclipse happening by 7am tomorrow morning apparently, and people have already begun - as usual, to distribute bc's with false and deceptive information.

The eclipse happening tomorrow will not be a total one, so you may or may not need shades for it.

However, it is indeed false information that you should be afraid of radiation coming from the sun to debilitate you.

Engligbo

Ha. Igbo Kwenu!!

"ENGLIGBO"

I'm not sure how many of you dear readers are familiar with this popular bridged term. I first heard it  in secondary school from a teacher, reprimanding my "generation" for watering down the purity of the igbo language with blobs of English words bubbling around between our igbo sentences.

10** Most Popular Fake Whatsapp messages

"Facebook is where hypocrisy, falseness, double standards, rumors and depression meet up for coffee."

I'm sure one time or another, you've received a message from whatsapp saying "Send this to 5 people to activate your whatsapp", "The CEO of whatsapp informs you that....", "....Send this to 10 people you know if you care".

Speak. Out.

There are times in life that silence does not get you the answer you would like it to. Silence is a cold storm of memory and thoughts that can chill you to the bone, and sometimes you’re lucky enough that people feel the cold and know there's something very wrong.

Sometimes, however, silence and chill just are not enough.

Sometimes you need fire.

Testimony ONE

So...

Todays' post is just a short summary of what happened to me just this past Sunday, and how I almost lost a virtual half of my life...

First off was my journey back to Ido... that place of "true happiness"

Such lies...

The Jamb Experience

With rumours of plans by the Federal Government to scrap the post-utme exams. I decided before they magically wake up someday and decide to remove JAMB, It would be good that I let the future know what we.... "enjoyed" in JAMB

It begins by you hearing that your seniors usually get like 230, 250 etc out of 400..... You laughed in french

Dullards..

  Afterall.... Anything below 80% was never meant for your destiny

Tell yourself the truth joor

The Good Fight

"Sometimes you have to be strong for yourself... Always fight, until you can’t anymore, and then be fought for."

Recently I was pushed by someone to get off my butt and go about to do good work again. It's why you've been seeing articles regularly on the blog again  (**Hides Face**)

I had been trying to live a simple life. Just me, myself and I. No worries, no troubles, no stress. It didn't last long. It's not the person I am, I guess. It seems I'm more like peppered fire than a calm scented breeze.

The Future

“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, ‘Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?’ Actually, who are you not to be?”   

- Marianne Williamson, Return to Love

Countless years have since past as we've heard it chorused; In the classrooms, In the streets, In the churches - "Children are the future", "The youth are the leaders of tomorrow".

But.... the youth have now gotten old. Some got so old that their time came and they have even passed away. Yet the same people who have lead and governed for 30 - 50 years are still leading and governing today. With the trend we're on, it seems we go further and further in the past to drudge up leaders from regiments and councils of old to take the reigns of power.

Are we so incapable, we "youth", of taking control of our own lives? Our present? Our very futures? Will we stamp down our heritage? Have we young lions forgotten how to roar? Meant to be eagles, but unable to soar. 

Being Pete Edochie

“A word to the wise ain't necessary, it's the stupid ones who need advice.”
― Bill Cosby



Have you ever heard Pete Edochie's voice? The rich baritone and emphatic demeanor he has while saying his lines is so amazing that it's like a trademark. The USA has Morgan Freeman but we have Pete Edochie.

We've collected a few lines submitted in social media to give you a feel of the Pete Edochie Experience. Read them all in his voice. Who knew wisdom could be so hilarious...

No matter how much you massage the banana, it will never become plantain.

A man that goes up a tree to see if the mango is ripe, and comes back down to throw stones at it to pluck it, is destined for failure.

No matter how kind a man is; he will never give his wife as a gift to his friends.

How We Killed The World.... 2

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”  ― Martin Luther King Jr.

#We steal from our parents - and even others - then we go and blame God for allowing thieves and armed robbers to plague our cities and roads.

#We cheat on exams and cause problems in the real world because we are unable to apply knowledge that we do not have - then we go and blame God for not preventing unproductivity and the fall of the economy.

#We cheat on our partners and spouses - then we go and blame God for not killing all the sinners so that we would have peace.

#We kill people with insults - slowly and steadily.... demeaning their spirits and torturing their minds - then we go and blame God for letting suffering exist in the world.
