Makers or Breakers?

Their constituents snooze not with peace
And they don't even care
Their meeting field turn a ring
Where blows are traded like in market place
They've trained their hands to fight
Even on matter that needs sense, and not might

The house called house of decision
Has been metamorphosed to that of COMMOTION

Those who men look unto as makers
Are nothing but mere law breakers

The very people we called Leaders
Are nothing but poisonous Adders

They cherish lies at the expense of truth
Anyway, they are all clueless crews

Men whose appetite is not to lead
But drunk with passion to brim their protrude bellies

We can't call them leaders
They are nothing but mere riders

Men whose boss is appetite;
Blur their vision like cataract

Gang of professional thieves
Robe like honorable chiefs

If this city has any problem, they are
If this city is way far behind her sisters, it's their fault.
If this city vehicle is on the reverse mode, they are
They are, if things are getting worse

However, if things will ever change it's in our hands.

Till we meet again I am Odunayo Samuel AKERELE.

Remember keep being true and keep being good

MY LOCAL FRIEND

We started this series last week when we talked about ‘lessons from a game of football.’ The capsule overview of last week post is the fact that in a game of football they have a common goal, which is to win. And we established that if at all victory would be their friend then there is a need for them to work as a team. Here is a personal experience shared by a very good friend of mine: I have many friends both in my town and neighboring town. Some of them are educated while some are not. There was a time I went for a conference outside my town. I met new friends at the conference whose exposure transcend some of my friends at home. I needed to get their contacts but both my subscriber identity module (SIM) and phone storage were completely full. A thought c...

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...

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...
