When Peace and freedom becomes what you really need to breathe for…


In a country where we were once called “The happiest people on earth”, now it cannot be said of Nigeria to be the most happiest as the situation is no longer the same. So much killing and shedding of innocent blood, deleting the future in order to have no one to take over the affair of the nation; so much political unrest and corruption. Kidnapping is now a normal thing to some people who do not want to labour for legitimate wealth. Some do it all because off spite and hatred for peace and tranquility or is it because they want to force some form of religion on everyone?
The abduction of more than two hundred (200) secondary girls in the Northern part of the country is so overwhelming, I wonder how their parents are faring without their daughters by their side, to some parents-the girl taken could be an only child, to some; all they have is what the abductors have taken.
 *Where are we going in this land? This is really something that is hard to be silent about…*
What is the real solution? Are we to be locked indoor all day so we don’t get abducted? Are we to dare what is out there and just take the risk? I have so many questions but how will the answers come- the surest answer and solution can only come from the one who made the day and all that is in it.
I feel so pained writing this because I imagine having a child being taken from me by a fellow human-being and not by death (not that I pray for that to happen) which cannot be held accountable to anything. This means the child is somewhere in the same country and not dead but I am unable to help him or her. What kind of parent/ward will have peace and also be able to forgive his/herself for not being able to protect his/her child (ren) though, it is very obvious that the occurrence is not their making or what they would’ve desired for their ward (s).

I think all these is a sign of end-time, with sincere outcry unto the maker of the whole universe, the girls will be found and safely returned to their families, but can we ever be the same again as a nation?

Never stop Moving...

Standing in a position reduces the rate of speed and the distance that would have been covered either technically or hypothetically. A standing water smell terribly but the river does not. It remains fresh and bubbly because it keeps moving.  This is the same with the life we live, holding back yourself from thinking through things and doing what you have thought through will only deny you the opportunity to attain and have what you so desire.  Never, ever give up your passion for what wears you out. The aftermath of not pursuing your passion can lead to a lifetime regrets.

Before it's too late....

Tell her she's pretty, hold her hand, kiss her when she's angry, play with her hair, let her fall asleep in your arms, kiss her in the rain, tell her you love her, but wait....here's the catch....you actually have to mean it!.              There's always a little truth behind every "just kidding". A little knowledge behind every "I don't know" A little emotion behind every "I don't care" And a little pain behind every "it's okay, I never get jealous when I see my ex with someone else, because my parents always taught me to give my used toys to the less fortunate., A person who truly loves you will never let you go, no matter how hard the situation is.   I just want a honest relationship. No lies, no mind games, no cheating. “Trust me; I'd walk through the rain at 3 am to see you. The only thing stopping me is my parents,” In the end we only regret chances we didn’t take; the
