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...

 Is Love Selfish? Unpacking the Self-Centered Nature of Relationships The word selfishness is something most of us don’t usually pay attention to, especially when it comes to ourselves. We almost believe that everything is fine. And, in a way, it is. By default, every human is selfish. There is an adage in Yoruba that says, "If you give a hoe to a madman, he would gather the soil towards himself." That is, even a madman will consider himself before others. But that’s just by the way. Man is happy when he receives but it's otherwise when he gives. We all want to get but we don't want to give. When it is about us, we want it all done quickly, but if it's about others we don't care. Selfishness is the blood brother of stinginess. They are related, same family. I, me, and myself are their family parlance. The summary of human behaviour is self, and we engage in self-interest relationships . If all your life all you live for is self, you have not truly lived.  Ever...

SEEDS

I remember when I started teaching as a side hustle. I didn't really take it serious. The first student I encountered,  just walk up to me for asistance, and I taught him at no cost. The last time I met him, he is already a graduate. After I graduated from the university I taught in one, two, three or four places. But those seeds I sowed then jokingly have become trees, I mean  big trees. Just last month I met two of my students in one of the reputable university in Nigeria; one is studying Chemical engineer and the other Computer science. Those were the one I taught between 2017 and 2018. Some of the students I taught between 2015 and 2016 had graduated from universities while some are in their final year. Some of my students are still in secondary schools and they are doing fine. I have students that are not in school but follow their passion either as singers, comedian, etc. and they are as well doing fine. Why am I telling you this? Is it for show, or perhap...
