HRH Sam

An angel read to me,
On a warm sultry nite....
Though she was far away in the cold of ATL
While i was in the tropical region of Lagos.

The clear voice and distinct pronunciation
could compare to that of a queen.
infact, it belonged to a queen

the sweetness of her laughter and tingling of her giggles
made her vocal chords more and more desirable
The consistent interuption of a naughty but lovely sister
made the reading more interesting.

Definitely, my sleep will be sweet, my rest will be pleasant
with a smile on my face will i fall asleep because i've had an angel read to me.

No, she was more than an angel, more like a queen,
Hmmmn, either angel or queen, one thing i am sure of
Sam, read with such a captivating voice, warm dignified and attractive
such that even with the distance, am still ........................

Thanks Sam, if i had to choose a queen/angel's voice ever again,
I'll choose yours.................................

You are appreciated

MMWAAAH

Analyse yourself, "Who are you really" Part 1 - You are capable

There are 3 individuals you need to deal with in you, yes you staring at the screen reading this post

1. The man others think you are.

2. The man you think you are.

3. The man you really are.

1. The man others think you are.

A lot of people think they can determine your future or destination, based on where you are coming from, truly to an extent "the further back you look, the the further foward, you may see"

However, theres nothing about the caterpillar that indicates that someday, it will be a butterfly

When Barack Obama's father was buying drinks for his friends while celebrating the birth of his little son , nothing in his wildest dreams would have indicated that the little boy yelling and "pissing" in his mother's face while his diapers were being changed, will someday sit in the Oval Office and be the a crusader of "Hope and the Possibility mentality" globally.

A lot of people want to look at where you are coming from to determine how far, you will go and the dimension of the legacy you will leave behind.

When a lie is repeatedly said , it tends to want to sound like the truth, don't let what folks think  about you define your limits, As a matter of fact, your spirit is limitless...Ask the guy who was born in an animal's feeding manger, obtained a Phd in carpentry and went into consulting for just 3 years..........2000 years later, his legacy still lives on, do you know who i am talking about?

Prove them wrong!!! Folks cannot limit you without YOUR consent. They only think, they don't  know who you are. To know who you are , ask your creator, He says you are  "A Creative Masterpiece, you can achieve anything"

You, yes you reading, you are capable of acheiving ANYTHING, someone like you invented that keyboard you are typing on, the phone you just finished a call on was "thought up"  like you, stop wasting time .............get off your b&** and do SOMETHING

The worst thing that can happen to you ... is live your life like a snake moving on a rock (it leaves no trace). MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT. Give people a tangible reason to miss you........

Is it fair?

I come from the South - Western part of Nigeria,

i am part of a people credited with having a rich cultural heritage,

Our flamboyancy, women, hairstyles, food and most importantly, proverbs

Yes proverbs..........meditating on indigenous proverbs has given a me a measure of depth,

check this one out.....

"What an elder sees while sitting down, a youth cannot behold even if he climbs the tallest of trees"

So i begin to wonder that if  the elder has a sight that sees further than the youth , it means they can see potentials in its untapped form, Hmmn..............

Alright,

what if the elder proceeds to exploit that  potential, make so much money and still deprive the youth (custodian of brains and talents) what is due to him forgetting that  you do not muzzle the ox that threshes the corn, also God doesn't approve of depriving a man of what rightly belongs to him.

The gospel a lot of people preach is, "you must pay your dues" ...YES! accepted, but for how long will one keep on paying dues? Hmmn? until the potential becomes fully exploited and another reaps all the rewards or is it till the youth's destiny is permanently fixed to the bottom rung of the progress ladder ?

God Forbid!

That's why i like this next proverb, it says when the fly keeps on biting the sore of an injured man, nobody complains, but when the injured man grabs the fly and throws it in his mouth, everybody exclaims and complains in ooohs and aahs.

Similarly, when the opportunistic elder was "spoiling" the youth, no one spoke, but when the youth seeks justice and what is due to him, they start making faces, shifting their feet.

But is it fair?

Do people have to be taken advantage of because they are young in age, experience, finances or virtue?

Is it fair ????????

The day privileged people begin to see the lives & potentials of underprivileged/inexperienced ones as an opportunity to build and invest in a destiny, rather than a mine field to exploit and "spoil"....that very day,that day.. our nation begins to attain its true greatness.
