MUCH ADO ABOUT NEW YEARS RESOLUTION

It is only fair to talk about New Year’s resolution because this the first post for this year, so I will say happy New Year (covers face). At the end of the year 2013, I had a working idea of how my year would be like so as 2014 came, I had armed myself with different resolutions which I would run with throughout the year.
I did everything right, I thought long and hard about the resolution, how I will go about it, what will I need to make it work , you name it I thought of it. But the first quarter of the year is coming to an end and wait for it….drum roll… I have not achieved or even attempted one, the book I wrote it on is nowhere to be found. 
I know *rolls eyes*, everyone I tell is shaking their head at me, but I know I am not alone in my fool’s paradise; we are many out there and it cuts across tribes, race and even continents because the abandonment of new year’s resolution before the end of the first quarter of the year is a known phenomenon, but what is the essence of my endless ramble I hear you ask? Just wait I am getting there soon.
I just found a way to combat mine, how? You ask, I will tell you…… *reshuffling* is the key to your problem. If you are like me and you can procrastinate for Africa then this is for you. First you reshuffle your goals by putting the ones with the shortest time frame first, if anyone involves spending money like mine does pick the one with less money to spend and lastly just do it, go for it, it’s your life, it’s for your own improvement, think of how it would be beneficial to you and don’t over think it, Just do it.
Everyone wants to feel that they have done something with their life, albeit how little it is, you don’t want to look back at 2014 and say *chai I should have don’t that oh or you see someone living your dream because you didn’t follow your resolutions. Me I am taking a leaf from my book and facing mine by writing this random thot and posting it.

Don’t allow someone else live your life, get up and face your resolutions……. Till next time… keep hope alive.

Frustration of the working class...JETBLUE example

earlier this week a flight attendant let out his frustration at an obnoxious passenger who was rude to him and he fled the plane,but was later arrested but granted bail. while airline pays the passengers on that flight "compensation" for their troubles saying it's their policy. now the is agog with various sites praising him, immortalizing,dramatization of the whole incidence. this situation has now brought to fore the inevitable question, what happened? that the working class is lashing out, people don't respect honest working individuals,places of employment have become graveyards of dreams and aspirations...........hmmm all these make stop and ponder on what the future holds for us, because if this can happen in America;the supposed most powerful nation in the world?! I wonder what is happening in our 'developing" nation? just my thots

FUEL SUBSIDY: Where Government Got It Wrong

After work yesterday, I had to do some sort of sober reflection on Nigeria’s nascent democracy; I call it nascent because we are still growing and not yet close to the proverbial Promised Land. I realized that besides the fall outs from the June 12 elections, nothing has ever elicited such a collective and emphatic stance from Nigerians as the removal of fuel subsidy right from 1960 up to this moment though I stand to be corrected. So, in my own little quiet zone, being not such a great fan of Nigerian politics due to many factors that has culminated in giving me a liberal standpoint politically, I decided that for the couple of days to come, I would be taking a look at some of the issues that has led to this rather unfortunate milestone in our political journey and how such future occurrences could easily be averted, though it would not be rigidly limited to just the removal of fuel subsidy. For me, I believe it’s high time our democratic ‘rulers’ ( I call them rulers because leaders ...

FLOWERS & PEOPLE

I was watching a flower come to life the other day and it was very magical and unexplainable. this got me thinking any flower that is not watered and nurtured would eventually wither and die away. it reminded me of a young girl who is not watered & nurtured with wisdom would eventually die away IE, fall into the hands of the wrong people, get bad advice &make wrong choices. I am also thinking of a very brilliant mind that is not properly utilised & watered would also wither away. because as the saying goes "a mind is a terrible thing to waste" also i have another "an idle mind is the devil's workshop" A mind that is redundant & static would eventually pack up & die . A funny thot just came to me, "marriage" you know marriage is the most neglected flower in this garden of life because most times especially in our generation, we jump in & jump out for the wrong and right reasons depending on whose side u belong; some base the fo...
