Accident is good, when...




Waking up on Saturday morning, it was fun to go out and meet what the day would feel and how it was going to be.

On the busy road and express of Ibadan, 'I dodged and try to escape lots of potholes', it was possible to move away from some, others couldn't be escaped.

Finally, I got into the main road that seem free for a moment; only to notice that I was not the only one trying to get free and move to a clearer part. The difference about the scenario was; ‘some successfully made it through while some did not’.

Though, I was not a witness to the accident but it was so painful to see the lifeless body beside the accidented vehicles on the express. She looked very industrious. She sure left the house early (it was just 6:50.am) to meet up with the market that sells fresh and cheap foodstuffs that she probably deals in. She must have said to her naighbour and friend  words like 'Ekaaro iya Sukura',(iya Sukura, good morning) 'mofe losi oja' ( I'm going to the market), 'mi o ni pe de ( I'll be back soon)...

Oh! Little did she know that, that would be the end of her journey in life ...

Life was out of her, she lay there lifeless with all that she left the house with. An early raiser, hardworking, selfless and no-makeover woman who wanted to face a fresh weekend in a more delightful way...
It's so sad to see you cut-off from this planet at your prime, I'm sure you had many plans and aspirations that were yet to be birth. Alas! You could not bring them into form.

Many, including your children will miss you...

Eternal rest is what I wish you. May God help us to always live right, when we do, accident will not really be a bad thing when it happens.


Rest in peace Stranger!

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.

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 r
