It really got me thinking, Everyone has a way of describing it. I thought that feeling is just a definition not a description, maybe I am wrong. Its a bit strange how we want friends and family to understand why it's the best thing that ever happened to us. Standing from afar and watching them walk away, Looking back several times though you just said 'see you later'.

                                                                         Calling back a thousand times, After saying talk to you Later in the Evening. The Experiences always vary from moments to experiences graduating into fulfilling Emotions. The emotions say much more than the descriptions. iN the same breadth, a permanent separation bears its own reasons and emotions. Nonetheless, MELODIES keep reminding us of such beautiful moments or better still strengthening us just for a similar history. Thanks to musicians who are just in our shoes. They describe it just in our way. tHE lonely moments and the daylight dreams that got us smiling.


One word, ''HAPPYNESS'' seems to be the subset in all these circumstances. Everyone says am just happy and the company we share it's all I need.

It reminds me of many things. An experience I lived far away in myself. Just when I heard the steps from those long heels, as they move one after the other, the pounding sound got me panicking. I shook!. and I wondered, Did I just hear a quake? Or it's just my heartbeat!!. A sight at just one thing could put me in such state of panic and dilemma? Interesting, Somethings are for MEN indeed!.
From her feet straight to her knee spelt perfection. I blurred out at just her eyes, It shadowed my confidence. People Call it beautiful but I think its Fragrance. Love, at first Sight, was not an illusion, after all, it's an experience. Given a second chance, I will salute at the INfiniX of BeAUtiful.- iT was an experience.

It's about 2weeks away. IT'S HOW CHOCOLATE DESCRIBES IT. ......

The Dreams we HAVE

Jerry Baird once said ‘‘Success is a journey not a destination’’. A journey that can make you cry, step on toes, angry but fulfilling. Each and every one of us has dreams. In one way or the other, we tackle these dreams from different angles. Different homes, made of different families. Different beliefs and practices and possibly different ways of falling in love with our dreams. In all these situations we experience our own peculiar challenges. Obstacles that try to impede our goals. Henry Ford said ‘obstacles are those frightful things we see when we take our mind off our goals’. In some one's world the challenge he/she faces may be someone else’s fortunate moment. A friend once told me, ‘never underestimate the pain of a person. This is because in all honesty, every one hurts, just that some people hide it better than others’. As we go about our daily schedules, we greet and smile at each other. Yet we rarely know what everyone goes through in their loneliness.

In our pursuit of happiness, we tackle life with different formations, using our own unique strategies. My friends have taught me that in life, smiles may be very deceptive. It all start from our childhood. We all start school with high aspirations. With hopes of being a lawyer, teacher, a soldier, a nurse, an engineer and whatsoever we sole desire to be in future. It doesn’t matter if you schooled in one of the top most schools or in a remote community. What matters is how you get there. Failure in our situations only get to add up and possibly divert our intentions. Sometimes the obstacles we face are just unexplainable. It may be a loss of the bread winner. Maybe a loved one that pushes us, inspires us to do more. Maybe a mistake that crippled our progress beyond our estimation. 

Realization of dreams are lessons all around us. Chris Gardener depicted that perfectly in his true life story movie titled ‘pursuit of happyness’. ‘Mandela long walk to freedom’ is no exception. An inspiration in itself. The story of Maruge, a Kenyan, and the oldest man to have gone to primary school in his mid-80 is just remarkable. Just to achieve his dream. To make a difference. Indeed this picture was clearly exposed in the movie ‘the first grader’, a very touching change maker. All these are not different from the famous award winning movies ‘Beyond the black board’ and ‘Front of the class ’ and in many untold stories and told stories. Some of which have been captured in movies i could continue mentioning. Your story is awaiting completion. Dreams do come true. Just do it. Let’s do it. Only if we believe.

As humans, and focused people, we listened to people who motivate us. We are drawn to people who say the sweet things to us. At times these beautiful moments defeat the intention of re-evaluating our weaknesses. As infallible beings, what makes our actions incomplete? This we hardly love to listen to. We claim we are dream chasers yet we rarely change the little world in our bed room. We are usually advice to change these challenges into positives.  As though it is as easy as 1,2,3......,easier said than done. An attitude built over time needs thorough measures to cleanse, a project of purity.  It does not seem easy as it is said. One thing however, is our own inbuilt motivating factors. We may not accept it but there is always something that keeps us on our toes. Something that gets us emotional and awakes our thoughts to face our dreams. In all these, the fear of failure never gives up.  

Nonetheless, the spirit to win lives in the dreams we believe in. I have a story which is unscripted.  A story I believe can motivate you. A story you might never imagined. One you never lived, that inspires me each time I fall, my motivation. We all have stories. We may never believe in them but its tales turns it into food for thought. How about yours, just maybe mine was just a class exercise and yours could be the final exam. In all these encounters, there are people who observe and may possibly judge you. They may not know the story but the little they see could discourage them or inspire them. How do you live your untold story?

The greatest gift of motivation is that part that you see wrong about you. That part which drives the change in you.When you let that weakness gets to you, it takes the best out of you. I do not know your dream. It may change as time passes. It may change because conditions change, yet you never stop dreaming. Dreaming is a game you know. A dream for which we have a ‘why’ for executing. A dream that has a reason. That knows no failure. It’s just a dream………..

A letter to my Community

Hmmmmmm! Did you ask if I was PROUD? Not at all, not when it has to do with you. Not when you have 
litters all over. At least you gave me pathways I can use for my daily schedules. I have a place I call home, a place I find in your bosom. Even though you give me so much headache. Especially when everybody in this community cares less about you. All we care about is how to make ends meet and get a place to rest without thinking of your future. How Selfish! At times I find it very difficult to describe it as our character or our attitude, when all we do is to litter everywhere. Polythene is our closest pal now, our next of Kin, we dump them anywhere, anytime as soon as we finish using them. Is it because we do not have dustbins at strategic locations? Or its a habit we can’t quit? 

Oooh! My neighbours! Would there ever be a day when we will dispose of polythene properly and make our community polythene free? Eeeebeeeih!!!!!. What at all has the community done to us? Huh!? 

!? Our lorry stations are worst affected, they have become footballs that we kick as we walk through the stations. For the gutters, I pity them every time I see how they struggle to pave way for liquid waste to move. My Community, I sincerely apologize for all these inconveniences. By the way, are we still expecting someone from elsewhere to provide us with dustbins?   Maybe we are waiting for a fiasco. My fellow neighbours, we live in this community and so let’s play the game responsibly. How about we set the rules, led by examples, buy our own dustbins and keep them at strategic places. We can as well be the guards, no mercy for any culprit as we hold each other responsible. Is it our character or should I say our attitude to be nonchalance to such a negative uprising? Do we after all need someone to tell us to keep our community clean, or to clean them every first Saturday of every new month? Aaaaah! Sometimes I just don’t understand. We generate the waste yet someone must tell us when to clean the waste?Rather we eat, sell and live in this filth. So soo amazing!!!

 Our gutters are choked with filth, both liquid and solid waste, whiles these channels were built purposely for liquid waste. We define what these drains must be used for.When are we ever saying NO!!! , to all these bad practices? Huh!? We are all culpable.

So much money is invested in fighting malaria every day and the death tolls per household also keep soaring up. However, we nurture these mosquitoes ourselves in the best of habitat for them. We feed and care for them every day. So why can’t they be happy spending their vacations with us, as we rather kill them using insecticides. Or its just because two wrongs just don't make a right?. Why can't we just shut up and enjoy their way of saying good evening, after all we invited them, we bore them. We rather prefer to fight the very friends we nurtured.  We are ingrates! We rather enjoy their stings and pay for the cure? Imagine what that money could have been used for. What surprises me most is seeing elites litter the environment and causing the community so much harm, they that need to educate the others on the harmful effects of littering are rather victims, ‘smh’, it’s a pity. Is it because the community is deaf and dumb? OOuuchhh!!! Yen Ara Asaase ni. Eeeih! Okukuseku!

In our markets and streets, we have chosen to use pedestrian pathways as stores leaving pedestrians to compete with vehicles for the same road. So why at all was the pedestrian Walkways created? Was for Aesthetics? Some of us claim we are students in the High Schools, Colleges and Universities yet we lead all these practices by helping our parents arrange the items on the walkways, this I think can be done better by all parties. So interesting, how we belittle our Community. I feel so sorry for you. We prefer to play hide and seek with security personnel over that too, and bribing our way out? Oooooh! What a shame!! Let’s bow our heads in Shame. We are all guilty and we know we are yet we rather prefer to Blame someone for not doing his Job as we continue to do what is Wrong, inflicting pain on an innocent community. Indeed, every sector is guilty.
Many of such negative attitudes are exhibited on a daily basis. It is either the kenkey seller who used spoilt pepper mixed with proper ones for her pepper sauce resulting in her clients suffering food poisoning, or the teacher compromised with some students just to pass them. May be the electrician helped in that illegal connection that resulted in that fire outbreak or the accountant just bloated the figures to make more money at the detriment of someone or the engineer just did a shoddy job, may be the port official allowed the inferior goods into the country without thinking of his step mother

’s grandchild of possibly consuming that product. Just May be it was you and you know it could be you. Many things we have done just to punish this ‘mute’ Community. It is time we call it ‘A QUIT’ to correct ourselves and stand up to correct others. Be a game changer Brethren. Make a difference. It all starts from Here. Do the right thing when No ONE IS WATCHING.
