Why It Matters (#EndSARS)

I haven't written an article in so very long, that it was almost difficult making this one. This has taken me several days already, trying to keep up the fire in me to write this all out. I usually have a lot of thoughts. But these days I haven't had a lot of time or zeal to develop them.

Too many of us have seen the #EndSARS movement sweeping the nation. A movement, that I hope does not end anytime soon, because it is far too important to us as a generation. In just a week; we have shown what our voices and spirits can do when we put our minds to it. Funds have been mobilized to feed, help and protect protesters - with as little as 10-25 million naira being spent so far. And so far, we have seen far more to show for it than the supposed 600 billion naira approved for "COVID-19 palliatives". 

Beauty and the Beast - 3

“People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including ourselves.” **

- Salma Hayek

Ok. So far I've been writing on 'beauty' 'beauty', 'beauty'. This time I'm writing on the "Beast".

You know what I mean. The secret thoughts you have that you won't admit to having or tell anyone. When you go examine members of the opposite sex (I'm not going to promote any homo iss - No). What's the stuff you really** look at?

Most of us would claim - their eyes, their heart, their minds, their virtue and morals. Few of us however actually mean that. That's the truth. As we're there claiming we want 'inner beauty' one eye is roving over the back of the girl walking by, or for the ladies - one eye is slowly examining each dividing line of the rock-hard abs sported by either the shirtless gym trainer or the nearby course rep undergoing an ECG test.

You know what I'm taking about. :|
