SCAM




Why is everything looking like a scam?
May be it is!
Go to school, get good grade
So you can work in a big organisation
Having done that, yet no satisfaction
Be a good man so you can marry a virtuous woman
This also among many scams!
I've seen a good man 
who get hook to a nonentity,
So also are many nonentities 
 to virtuous women
Never shout on any ladies,
Excellent men don't do such
Women see this as your weakness
And call you cold!
This also is a scam!
Get marry, a responsible man 
Need a woman in his life
Marriage among many scam
Is life all about marriage?
Be a man of your word
Never let lies rule your tongue
However I've seen a man incarcerated for truth
Also one elevated for his well packaged lies
Is this also not a scam?
Why is everything looking like a scam?
Maybe it is!
Why is life looking like illusion?
Why is nothing real to me any longer?
Why is the invisible more real 
Than other aspects of life?
Strive to make money; 
yes enough to live life
No satisfaction still!
This also is a scam
Live a life of purpose
For years strove to discover it
Money making activities was told 
are purpose for living
This we did, yet no satisfaction.
This also are among many scams
Everything look like a scam
Maybe it is!
Bachelor's degree is no longer enough
Please further, this is for your good
After master degree; it's like no difference
When you have Phd status will change 
Doctor of philosophy is nothing but a mere title
It's a lie being a professor is the real deal
Yet, after bagging professorial award 
No satisfaction!
Is this not a scam?
Then where lies man's satisfaction?
Marriage?
Degree?
Wealth?
Social or political status?
Possesion?
I dare say no!

Till we meet again, I remain my humble self, AKERELE ODUNAYO SAMUEL.
Remember keep being you and keep being good.

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply.  When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t.  When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viabil...

I PROPOSED A DECEIT

I was born when the time was still partially measured by the throaty crow of the cocks. When if cock refuses to crow, the time was measured by the height of shadow.  I can still very much remember how my father would say the time is three o'clock in the afternoon because the shadow had reached a certain height on the wall in our backyard. Sometimes I was wowed at the level of his intelligence.  He didn't mark that particular spot on the wall and he never for once missed it. I tried doing but kept on missing it. Then, I used charcoal to Mark it. Isn't beautiful to say I also measured time by the height of shadow? Winks.  My father was a farmer and partially a hunter. He was very diligent and good at what he does. He had cocoa, cola nut, plantain, yam, maize, cowpea, and rice farms. He was rich in goats, and different kinds of fowls. Apart from the fact that he uses labor we the children were also part of the labors employ on his farm.  We worked all ye...

IS IT A CRUSH OR LOVE?

I was like a lone unpaired electron. I had friends who told me how they feel about the opposite gender. I had mocked quite a number of them. Because all that they told me about their feelings sound to me like foolishness. I had seen some of them went for two days without food just because of the opposite gender. They have always told me my time would come when I would need their help. I told them the love thing is not my thing. Wait for it they replied.  It was on Sunday evening, I was on my way to viewing center to watch Arsenal match against Chelsea.  I saw the damsel as I'd never seen before. She appeared like a gleaming lake. Her light was like a pale moon. The aura of her presence illuminates. Then I felt a nudge from inside; she is beautiful. Her smiles can make a bittered soul sweet. The smelt of her body was like that of an alabaster box. I saw her front empire and forgot about what had earlier transpired between me and my friends. Let me stay in this em...
