REMINISCENCE (…Year ending)

-


Time flicks, tricks and ticks

Moments come and we chrome

Events in our memories flips and trips

Seconds, minutes, hours, weeks and months trickle, twinkle and tinkle

Seeing 2010 came 365 days ago, we had ego, tried to grow or let go, and got gold

Candle light in the wind, sand from a beach, torn in the flesh-clown, crown and gown all in our town

We shared our story, rejoice in glory, wept at gory, had amongst many a worry, received and said sorry.

Not Jos-tified, Boko-Maiduguri, Niger Delta and Abuja amongst others- storms, bombs-blast, bumps, blobs.

Sick to be late President, ruling Kabal- Nation on auto-pilot- Kaita-carus & Aiye-d-miss World cup- women team in victory

Acting and substantial President, Sanusi & Senate, INEC & missing DDC machines, Re-election & selection

6000 Mega Watts- Not Realistic, Power we still cant be-holding, Strikes, Fuel Scarcity but a nation at 50 still unfolding

What is seen is what is known not what should have been… we fall, crawl, sprawl, but we stood tall

We visited, called, text, wrote, face-booked, tweeted and mailed- kept social and business strings going

Goals scored and conceded, battles won and lost, Profit gained and lost, was ill but recovered.

Made Noise, Prayed,, preached, praised, sang, drummed, danced, shouted & screamed- connect spiritually.


Advised, counselled, fixed and cancelled appointments, attended & administered interviews, had reiews & saw previews

sometimes we were evicted, rejected, ejected & dejected- Suffered loss or fought a cause, abused, refused, confused.

We hurt, fought, sought, tought, went to court, showed our guts, felt insults, had our faults, had droughts but had comfort.

We showed some tricks, had our chrome, made some trips, got and lost gold but we were not alone.

had friends, foes flaws, enemies, frenemies, family, bonds & bounds but never alone

Through it all… IF IT HAS NOT BEEN THE LORD WHO WAS ON OUR SIDE?



AT THE END... WE ARE STILL STANDING!



WISHING YOU ALL A BETTER NEW YEAR 2011



Thank you all for being part of my 2010 experience

MENDING MIND

Clouds forming off a crux whirl Thoughts come rolling awhile Of my past reminiscing in a matrix With turbulent unending affix From my curly lowly lonely hearts Whispering conscientious arts Reaching into imagination untold Hoping for positive to unfold Of possible plausible joy that could But not sure that's all that would Our humanity in this we see Of our flaws we suffer some fee Our mind travel but its often gaged By many, any and every often tagged Should I rise from all irrespective I only pray for a new perspective

WHAT DO YOU BELIEVE?

-
  The power of imagination and the power of believe are like Siamese twin, once you have the ability to imagine the result you desire, your belief in what you imagined will bring home the result. The question you need to answer at every point what do I believe in. Like Henry said, "if you think yo can, you can, if you think you can't, you are also right". You are only as able as what you believe. You don't go into a battle expecting to lose because if that is what your believe is, you don't need to bother, it is a done deal, the battle is in deed lost! Once you have sorted out what you believe (which is half way the journey, however an important half), the next then is you then channel your effort to what you believe in. What do you believe in? you believe in that prospect, in that person, in that project in that possibility... What do you believe in? They say ''believe you can then can what you believe and sit on the can''. but before you can do a

A CHAPTER FROM MY LIFE STORY

-
Named Seth because I was a gift after the loss of a child. The 5th Child of 6 siblings raised by a Military man with discipline of the highest 'quality'.  Mum was a house wife into small.scale trading. Dad a devoted christian, deacon & who gave little or no liberty. My first real liberty was choosing to go to University of Ilorin instead of University of Ibadan so as to be away from home and refusing to start over at OAU to read law (which we both wanted before) but I was already in 2nd year in University of Ilorin. He wasn't going to pay my school fees any more because I disappointed him with that decisional not to go start over  and get the chance to be a Lawyer. Economically were weren't the poorest but not rich either. We got basic needs but sometimes we had to wait and pray for the source of the next meal. My parents had to borrow to send us through school because my father promised to send everyone through higher institutions at any cost even if he had to be
