November Sky

The sparkling sun adorns the sky again. The beauty of another grace creeps up with it. A new energy stream again in the November sky. A new awakening births a promising day. Looking into the sky, we remember many events. In one moment, we recount the efforts of many souls. In another moment, we remember the sacrifices of our ancestors. In November we remember the arrivals and departures of men with valour. And we also remember the need for a heartfelt Thanksgiving. We may also remember the need to retune and recommit to our values in order to relive the essence of our purpose. May the blessings hanging above, never depart from you. God bless you abundantly.

Greater Unity

We are all unique and have different tastes. We differ marginally from each other, We manifest these differences: In our daily dealings and efforts; In our quests and interests; In our affections and relationships; In our styles and approaches, In our families and communities, In our preferences and positions; In our cultures, parties, beliefs, and identity. And in our perspectives, understanding, and how we even practice our religions. Likewise, our needs, expectations, and experiences make us appreciate or value things differently. But however different we may be: Must we tell the world we fight terrible fights? Must we tell the world we cannot disagree to agree? Must we tell the world about our petty squabbles on air? Must we tell the world about the envoys of envy and jealousy renting spaces in our midst? Must we shout at each other with higher decibels before proving a point? Must we tell the world our mission is truncated because of mistrust? Must we tell the

TRUE LIBERATION

It was a forum of ideal ideas then. It was a gathering of Interesting interests. It was an assembly of thoughtful thoughts. It was a litany of contextual complaints. It was basically a forum questioning our questionable integrity. Sometimes, I don't want to believe it was another pertinent forum belittled by our pettiness. I don't want to believe it was another forum of concerns that does not compel a corresponding duty for a change. I don't want to believe it was another assembly that amplified our correct Anglicise eloquence of our challenges, and does nothing about the many cases of thievery and intransigence in our body politic. It's a bold attempt to confront a peculiar political question with seriousness; It's proper to talk tough or nicely about the hiccups in our democracy but tell you what, it's not enough to just describe these challenges with beautiful rehearsed English phrases. We must be more responsible and responsive in politics and issu

God Save Us

Is politics of pettiness our plight? Is politics of propaganda our interest? Is politics of patronage our bane? Is politics of pride our problem? Is politics of persecution our creed?  Is politics of pulling others down our anthem? Is politics of greed and corruption killing us? If politics of progress is what we seek, then let's work at it seriously. Indeed, if God is for us no one can separate us from His love. But if we continue misbehaving in our quest to attain   politics of possibilities, then we will perish in politics of naughty  perils. May God intercede and save our souls. May God be with us even as we walk in the path of politics of performance today.   Remain blessed.πŸ™ŠπŸ™ #KYB Sign#™

Lest We Forget

It's a fact that we may face one of two challenges in this life. Some can be benign and subtle, others can be loud and conspicuous. It's sometimes convenient to apportion blames and deny reality or even give up.  But lest we forget our worth as a people in trying times. Lest we forget the dignity of life and treasures in each person. Lest we forget to respect and protect life. Lest we forget the deadly sting of our sins. Lest we forget our hope to live and grow. Lest we forget our responsibility to lead worthy lives. Lest we forget our resolve to give off our best this day. Lest we forget the truth that time is precious and that we have to value it. Lest we forget to make effective use of time this day. Lest we forget our duty to take care of ourselves and our environment. Lest we forget our commitment and duty to be good. Lest we forget the dream killers and the amulets in their smiles. Lest we forget the burden our constant complains places on our convictions.

Some Days

Some conversations are essential on some days. Some introspection and reflections are necessary. Sometimes we need these moments to relink and reconnect to ourselves and others. There are some days you feel the urge you should.  Other days too you feel like you shouldn’t.  Although some days you just don’t how, It's necessary to retune and refocus. It's a fact that the momentum you feel is real. So don’t hesitate to dream big when it comes to transformation. Be calm and collected when unsure, but never stop moving or making progress. As we stand at the threshold of change, may we be ever prepared to take steps in order to make profound transformation. Some days we just to remind ourselves of our values, our common wealth and the need to contribute to the well-being of others and our community as a whole. May your day be blessed.

Building the Future Together

Image
The need to cooperate, dialogue, work together and care for one another is a relevant ingredient to building the future we want. In spite of the many stormy tides on the sea of our sails, sweeping across the globe 🌎, we still have recourse to value and respect each other and do the needful things to safeguard our planet. UN flag by John Isaac With the theme: "Climate Action for Peace" to commemorate the 74th anniversary of the U.N Day, we are individually invited to pay attention to the importance of combatting climate change as a way to protect and promote peace throughout the world. It is interesting to note that in our interlinked and interrelated world, we are all affected by each other's actions or inactions on how we use, manage and preserve our environment. And that is the more reason we should be concerned about Climate change issues and work together to address the clear threats it poses to international peace and security. That said we still need
