One pleasant Sunday

Hello friends, hope you've been good. Here's hoping the week brings lots of goodies.

So, we have been working, thinking - so much about you. Yes you. It is a passion, and we have been enslaved therewith. Yous faithfully have got some great heads on his team, people with whom together we will bring the revolution you've been dreaming about. But you owe us your patience.


We converged yesterday, these great heads. (I know I owe you the images. But I've ignored that for some good reasons). We talked about you. About  all that you don't understand about our government and how to clear all the ambiguities that now cloud your head. We talked about making you understand what democracy truly is - as against every popular gibberish narrative - about your active participation.  Change, truly is you. You have to believe this.

We talked about the decadence that is our societies now and the possible recipes to a saner clime; and the briskness with which hope is disappearing in our time.

And it was beautiful.
And we are hopeful

That's what happened yesterday. And it was a cool, super fabulous Sunday.

Yours faithfully is engaging in something that would outlive him. And he is passionately enthusiastic.

Thanks for trusting. For believing. For stopping by.

Much love from here

This is what a smug society looks like

It’s Sunday. I hope you went to church. I did. You may agree, that going to church  doesn't  make us good people. However, it does help to keep us on track; to continue in the very essence of our creation: to know him, and to worship him…. I’m learning to be carefree, sort of. That’s what the Gospel, as read today, enjoins me to do – “Do not let your heart be troubled…”. But how realistic is this? Can I really, ever be worry-free? I live in a strange clime. There’s always a reason to worry. No, it is more appropriate to say ‘concerned’ not ‘worry’. After church today, I sit (and would later hunch over my laptop) to review few incidents that occurred in the past week of which I feel concerned. I will tell you about them. I choose only two. First , during the week, I read how Nigeria’s political fraternity, the ones you call elites gathered in Minna. It was a gathering of the high and mighty, of predatory characters, you know, like vultures. Former head of state,

On Peter Obi: A letter to my friends who lost their cool

The day Nigeria marked her 56th Independence Anniversary; Pastor Poju Oyemade of Covenant Christian Centre gave us a real treat on The Platform. It was a good moment to reflect on the ordeals and trajectories of our nation. Pastor Oyemade assembled a coterie of highly cerebral speakers who seasoned the event. Ever since that day, an eccentric kind of feeling has filled the air, and the social media is awash with certain impetuous hash tags.

2019: Dear Nigerians, democracy is more than periodic election

Image
Nigeria continues to bleed from the piercing, cruel claws of her sentient venality. In spite of what is read on the pages of newspaper, the disgusting smell and stench of a dying, or is it dead economy hits us in the face every day. It is a pricking reality.   Did you vote in last general election? Unfortunately, your answer, whatever it is, does not vindicate you neither does it immune you from the harsh reality. We are in it together. This is why we must all be active and political; we must be part of the process. The saying that it’s always ugly before it gets beautiful has been used to justify the characteristic slow pace of governance of current administration. But beauty, I insist, does not appeal to the dead. It is the living that appreciates beauty. So, while we still breath, it is pertinent that we make conscious attempt at inspiring the kind of change we desire.
