''What separates the winners from the losers is how a person reacts to each new twist of fate.'''- Donald Trump. 

 The POTUS has become my modern day super hero, for reasons not very far fetched. He has defied the laws of gravity that pulls Presidents, Statesmen and Politicians to the center of charlatanism, procrastination and broken promises.

 he has taught the world an invaluable lesson; a man of words and not of deeds is like a garden full of weeds. Against the backdrop of naysayers, he has demonstrated an uncommon determination to make good on his campaign promises irrespective of how they are perceived. Expecting the worst whilst hoping for the best.

 My new found conviction is to trump limitations with a Donald type of determination, to internalise a culture of doing what I can, while I can and leave the rest to the world to hobnob over its inadequacies.

 My country will be having its next presidential election in 2019, a lot of politricks and politicking are on display, the rhetoric is being peddled on all media outfits and the purveyors are the infamous, invincible, dogged 'cabals'.

 We have had a hard running in the last 3 years, i didn't witness the civil war, but i did witness a harsh recession, terrorism, amongst other traumatizing events. One question that always boggles my mind is, where do my country's politicians draw the line between party politics, nepotism, hegemony and patriotism because they seem to mean one word to them all - sycophancy.

 The Internet is my window to the world and i beckon on people of good conscience and stakeholders as well, to repress short term gains, selfish interests and wield the instrument of proficiency, diligence, passion and love for a wounded nation to sift the electorates and support a Trump like leader. Who's nightmare is failing his citizens and whose success is their collective success. we can make Nigeria great again.

 Where there is a will, there is a way.

A Privilege and a Miracle

Newton's  first law  of motion states that  an object will not change its motion unless a force acts on it. What are the odds of anything traveling unidirectionally, unending without coming in contact with another object? My guess is zero! Even in the sky, colliding with a bird or cloud is almost inevitable. A linear life is desirable but also unrealistic, nothing works like clockwork unless a clock. Through this realization, we must then anticipate and expect a collision of varying magnitude in our living, and unsurprisingly, our wits are the only safety gear we have, with experiences of self and others as emotional band-aids. Some forces would absolutely displace us, some would deflect, and some we would evade but nonetheless they will come. What happens when a force that changes your life comes your way. How prepared are you to embark on a journey to the unknown? Although incalculable, the most life-changing moments happen in the twinkle of an eye, and these unprecedented happen

When two rhythms meet, at first they are uncoordinated, but over time become harmonious, this should be the norm but sometimes we find that both rhythms remain out of sync bringing about a cacophony, disturbing to those who are unfortunate to be connected to this event by whatever means. To err is human, the quantum is what differentiates a misdemeanor from an atrocity, and both are based on the depth of the relationship shared by the parties involved. We say things we don’t mean apologize and then regret, and more often than not, our utterance does not evoke the response we such desire, instead it adds salt to injury. This might be as a result of a lack of due diligence on the culprit's part to decipher the right tone and timing to advance a complaint, observation or outright dismissal of an issue. We do things innocently that ends up hurting others in ways we did not imagine, and its worse when it’s someone we claim to love or have loved, who has set the security threat

COMFORT ZONE; WHY NOT?

By -
You need to step out of your comfort zone, you need to do something about this situation, you just can't wait for things to happen... these words are quite familiar to the one who has established or inherited a comfort zone. In a bid to challenge our creativity the comfort zone has been demonized and has become the object of criticism, especially as a core factor that supports unrealized dreams. Well, I have a different opinion. Firstly, the comfort zone is not a fixed concept or the contraption of a lazy mind. It is a dynamic, ephemeral and transient reality sustained by a strong desire for serenity. This cosseting environment is not given, it is either being worked for or had been worked for, and one thing central to its existence is that someone, at some point in time, thought it wise to create this niche of peace and quietude. while I am not averse to its improvement or upgrade, I will by no means undermine the efforts associated with its emergence. Secondly, most people a
