ODE TO A BOY WHO STRUGGLED.

-
(Dedicated to Oluwagbenga Williams Dada (1980-2007- R.I.P)
Born with a terminal clause
He choose to grow up with a plus
He had to struggle with fate
But rose up to live by faith

Every day for him comes with its pains
Every moment had to be made a gain
Lived life struggling against odds to achieve
Blazed through life with little or no mischief

Even though he came through slow
He left an impeccable impression that glows
A clause he carried like a cross
A plus he impressed on hearts across

Why then did you have to leave?
Why didn’t you try more to live?
The boys you left like me are now men
Like you, they are Xtra-ordinary Gentlemen.

XG Rules (Xtra-ordinarily Gentlemen)

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
