FACES

-

Faces are like places,
Some you see once,
Others you see less,
Many you see too countless,
One you hold on to like aces.

Faces are like reflectors,
They represent diff idea like newspaper vendors,
Some represents that of an actor,
Others represent that of a traitor
Few represent that of a suitor.
One represent that of a endeared counsellor.

Faces are crosses
Some you never want to bear even with a push,
Some you miss in a loss,
Few you never want to forget in a rush.
One like Christ you don’t mind carrying in a cross.

Faces represent different people,
People represent different ideas,
Ideas represent different sources,
Sources represent different backgrounds,
Backgrounds represent different beliefs,
Beliefs represent different histories,
Histories represent different stories,
Stories represent different glories-
Faces represent different phases.

Our faces differs
So are our desires.
Faces from different races..
Faces in different spaces..
Faces with different graces.
Faces emerge in phases.
For me, there's always one face you hold on to like aces.

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
