LET IT BE KNOWN THAT
WE WERE WITNESSES TO HISTORY
A CARNAGE PAINTED AND TAINTED STORY
RIGHT FROM THE WALL STREETS OF FREEDOM LIGHT
STRAIGHT TO THE TOLL WHERE BY THE GATE THE WOUNDED LIES

LET IT BE KNOWN THAT
WE WERE HUNTED,HOUNDED AND WOUNDED
CRAWLING TO MOTHER EARTH,OUR BLOODS,PAINTED

TINNITUS !
EMBRACING THE PASSION OF THE DARK
VOICES OF THE DYING HEROES ECHOED
IN THE DARK

WHEN ALL WE’VE FOUND IS WHAT WE’VE SEARCHED
VICTIMS LAST WORDS ‘UNITY AND PEACE’ ABOVE US,LINGERED

AFTER
THE FLAGS WE WAVE THE ANTHEM WE SANG
DEATHS INBOUND IN THE DARK WE SAT

THEN
CAME THE ROARING HERALD OF THE KAKI BEASTS
TO THE DEEPEST CORNER WHERE WE ALL, ONCE,FEAST

WHAT IS DEAD MAY NEVER BE DEAD
IN OUR HEARTS THE SOUL YOU QUENCHED

(NAMBY-PAMBY!)
HALF HUMAN MONSTERS)

IF TEARS WERE FALLS
WE WOULD CRY YOU THE NIAGRA

CUS‘ THY BEAUTY SHALL NO MORE BE FOUND
NOR IN THY MARBLE VAULT SHALL SOUND

OUR ECHOING SONGS OUR VAIN TRIALS
BUT IF TEMPERS WERE VOLCANOES
WE WOULD OUT ERUPT THE TAMBORA!

Being a sincere personality can be the best thing that could ever happen to some people; because it gives you more value and helps create a special place in their heart.

When you are being sincere regardless the consequence it is a billion times better than pretending to be someone you are not, regardless the rewards. You see, you can never tell who you will meet on your way up or down cause life recycles.

You don’t have to do something because someone else is doing it. You have to do it from your heart. Don’t just claim it, be it.

If you’re not the sincere type, it is time for you to change, the situation notwithstanding. Of course, I do know it may be a difficult thing to do. But trust me, when you’re done changing, you will know it so much worth it.

Be sincere in your thoughts. Be pure in your feelings. You will not have to run up to happiness. Happiness will run after you. #Bemotivated #OMS #Makeadifference

Everyone has their own insecurity regardless of how you look or how people perceive you. But sometimes we give our insecurity so much energy to overcome us. For ladies, it is beauty. For guys, it is capability. Generally, it is how you see yourself.

You see, you don’t have to live to please anyone; because, whether you choose to live rightly or the other way round people will still have something to talk about. You thinking about what people will say is INSECURITY. Nothing holds you back more than your own insecurity, cause it kills your self esteem.

Insecurity in Greek word is ATELPHOBIA; i.e it’s being scared of not being good enough. You don’t have to compare someone’s behind-the-scene with your highlight reel.

Build yourself up killing your insecurity. Remind yourself that you’re worthy. Tell yourself you’re incredible. Be a light to your world, and be yourself hype man.

When you can do all these, it neutralises when others think less of you. You have to realise that no one is perfect. Even the most confident people have insecurities. At some point in life, we may feel we lack something. That is reality. We must try to live per our capability.

Work on yourself instead of searching for flaws in others. #Bemotivated #OMS #Makeadifference

You know, I love the recklessness of faith. First, you leap, and then you grow wings. In other words, you strongly believe that you will surely get that thing you’re longing for. it is not of a good advice when you get an opportunity to take a bold step and you’re not taking it. It means you are SCARED. You might end up regretting you missing that opportunity. All you need is to have FAITH.

It is important that you know that everyone has courage and strength to take a bold step, but we find ourselves being knocked down by words that comes from friends or sometimes just from someone from the crowd.

You cannot fly when you are being carried away by those words. Your dreams cannot be achieved also. You just have to be BOLD enough to conquer anything or anyone who may want to block your way.

Being BOLD is another way of overcoming your FEARS. It is you making a decision to close the door to the past, taking a deep breath, stepping through and starting a new life.

If you don’t take risk, you’ll always work for someone who has. The doors are open to those who are BOLD enough to knock. So please, knock that door of opportunity today. Embrace the opportunity now that you know that you have access to it.

Live BOLDLY. #Bemotivated #OMS #Makeadifference

My people!
The cry will soon be over
I know I’m supposed to be nutritious
I know I’m supposed to bring integrity
I know I’m a green pasture
I know I’m supposed to be exceptional
I know I’m supposed to be rich
I know I have intelligent people
I know I’m supposed to be amazing

But HOW …???

How my people?
How can it be?
When my habitat is filled with *cunning heads
How can it be?
When my habitat cannot even passive the stench that comes out of my land day-in day-out.
How can it be?
When my habitat is always thinking of retaliating as regards things that’s none of their business.
How can it be?
When I keep bringing positive mind as reminders of this achievement we need to make and they are being neglected.
How can it be?
When all my resources are being sold out to some United States.
How can it be?
When my positive minds keep pleading and my habitat seem to be deaf.
How can it be?
When my tiers of government keep doing it wrong.
How can it be?
When free installations are being paid for.
How can it be?
When my habitat doesn’t even recognise the identity in the orbit .

It’s just such a pity, cause they keep neglecting their identity day by day.
How then do we get out of this?

We need sincerity.
We need integrity.
We need mind who will not play a deceptive xylophone to our hearing.
We need to embrace talented young people and help them grow.
We need to reconstruct our yard in a positive way.

With this, it will make up the NIGERIA OF MY DREAM.

Being organised is not perfection. Rather it is efficiency, reducing stress and saving time. It also helps in improving the quality of whatever you do. In other words being organised is a sign of self-respect.

Research has helped to prove that any business that is not well organised cannot succeed. Which is so true. You just have to be organised, it will make people see you differently.

It does not just become an habit in a day you have to build it up from your inside. It may seem hard to stay focus sometimes but when you are organised you will want to do more.

Being organized also help manage time,you accomplish so much within the shortest time frame.Living by this value is definitely no doubt going to effect a change in the direction you ought to be.

It’s also important to note that,an organized venture is a Productive venture. You are known for excellence.

Learn to be in control of your life. #Bemotivated. #OMS. #Makeadifference

All too often in life, we find ourselves confronted with wonderful phases of life suddenly and abruptly coming to an end. If it’s the end of a beautiful relationship, a fulfilling job,good friendship; it’s never easy to accept that it’s gone for good.

As you may know, coming to terms with what has happened and finally letting go is never easy. In fact, many of us think that holding on to the past is a sign of being strong.

However, life’s about continuous growth. It is not designed to be static and unmovable. Instead,it’s confront us with change. Either we like it or not, change cannot be avoided.

The honest truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you realise that the situation is over; you cannot move forward.

A wise man once said that you can not look back to move on,you just have to put the past behind you, and find something better in your future.

Accept yourself, love yourself and keep moving forward. If you want to fly, you have to give up what weighs you down.

Keeping baggage from the past will leave no room for happiness in the future.

You must also know that, letting go does not mean that you don’t care about someone anymore. It’s just realising that the only person you really have control over is yourself.
Sometimes it takes a heartbreak to shake us awake and help us see we are worth much more than we are settling for.

God sometimes removes a person from your life for protection. Don’t run after them.

Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seed of your future happiness.

Above all, you must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won’t happen automatically. You will rise up and say,’ I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me, I’m moving on with life’. #Bemotivated. #OMS

You see, this past few months has taught me to be more disciplined and push more in what I have passion for. This is STRIVING.
I strived so hard to get better and I’m so happy I did.

When we strive to become better than we were before, everything around us becomes better too.
Striving hard makes us get better. It brings out the best version of you. It will shape you into your desired version of yourself.

Don’t be satisfied at the limit you’ve gotten to because, the more you strive the better you get.

I know so well that the world is full of lots of distractions. But when you’re diligent, distractions become invisible. You should always do things, having your future and posterity in view.

When you strive to get better in your field, you will not only be successful you will also become valuable.
Don’t bother yourself about being recognised now, rather keep striving more and you will be worthy of recognition.

God works with those who strive. Be a game changer. Take charge!.
