Fight of all, fight for all💪



At a sensitive time such as this, some people are so much concerned with tribal conspiracy theory instead of fighting as Nigerians with one voice.


The bad governance we are speaking against today does not only affect the Southerners, it's to every Nigerian home or away.


It may not bother you as it does to me how we get to recycle the same people in governance. They come disguised as saviours on a different political platform whereas it's no different from the other and then we approve of them thinking they'll do better.


Wow! See them shocking us one by one.


Nigeria is sixty years old for crying out loud and yea, we should enjoy good lives as Nigerians.


How annoying it is when I meet staunch followers of a particular leader and their level of reasoning still shows how blindfolded they are to see the obvious flaws.


Like how can one out of hundred person keep saying that one leader is doing well when it's otherwise? Mehnnnn

You mean to say the remaining ninety nine are sentimental to see the good in that governance. No No.


The Nigeria that's supposed to stand as an entity is gradually falling away tribally.


We just seem to share the same geographical location, the rest of our values are not common in any way.


Our brotherhood has since eroded and we've allowed where we come from define who we are and how we relate with others.


Take for instance this scenario, two candidates at a job interview. The company is owned by a Northerner. The candidate Aminu Abubakar that was sent by an Alhaji in Kano was given the job even though he wasn't qualified. The Adeleye Olanrewaju from Osun state who merits the job went home heartbroken, another trial in eight years of job hunting.


The more we put tribe as a major factor in decision making, the more things get spoilt even beyond redemption.


The bird app has been filled with all manner of criticisms on the move against bad governance in the country. Some said the protesters were sponsored to upturn this administration. Wait, is it too much to ask for a future?


We grew up with the nursery rhyme:

Parents, listen to your children

We are the leaders of tomorrow

Try to pay our school fees 

And give us sound education.


Does that even sound achievable? The leaders we've known since we were little are still in power. So, how do we fill up these positions when there's no vacancy? Our parents have tried to give us sound education but does the education now take away hardship we experience? Can we equally boast of good life?


If they won't allow us to be in governance, they should at least be accountable to us. And yea, it should be that simple!


I'm sure if we had all things working properly for us as a country, we would identify as Nigerians proudly anywhere we find ourselves. But you have no one to blame, we only reckon with Nigeria when we want to fill in our nationality not because we pledge allegiance.


Brotherhood has been shifted from nationality to ethnicity and tribe. You see Amuda and Alao helping each other neglecting Uche and Waziri. Afenifere they say is different from Arewa and Ohaneze. I laugh.


Isn't it a pity when youths do no longer believe in this country? Everyone is desperately seeking a means to migrate to another country. Fixing this land seems to take forever. As fixers are even being fired shots at. What's the essence of risking lives for a course that would be hissed at anyway?


Nigeria, though divided literarily can be united again.

When everyone does the right thing with the golden rule: Do unto others what you want them do to you'' 


Only with a stronger and louder voice can we win this battle and get ourselves the country of our dream. It's becoming a reality when we recognize it a fight of all and for all. 

It's not for the Yorubas

Not for the Igbos

Not even for the Hausas

It's for all of us as Nigerians


With this I challenge you to act values so we can have a country we can call ours.

Can I live your life for you??

What happens when a lot of people are pointing out the right way you ought to live for you? The moment someone says "it's done this way" and another tell you "that way would be better" All you put yourself to is simply FRUSTRATION. Generally speaking, we love acceptance as human beings. We want to do things that would make people proudly have our backs and say yes, that's my friend or that's my child. The moment we crave for people's acceptance, we tend to be vulnerable by giving ears to what people around us say so that when they tell us they don't like what we've done, we just at times gullibly adjust that thing even when we knew we had done nothing wrong. This act is referred to as PEOPLE- PLEASING.  It happens when we are so conscious of what people might say about us so as not to break ties with friends or loved ones.  When people around us notice this vulnerability, they would be delighted in tossing us to and fro like they do to coins ...

New Year Resolution 📝

This resolution of a thing sef, it's always somehow. Many of us pledge to do some things or even vow to stop some things at the beginning of a year but eventually we get incapacitated. How numerous resolution get discarded by February baffles me alot sha. Another worst thing about this is that some people even forget they made a resolution as regards a particular thing. They remember at the close of the year and promise themselves they would turn it over to the incoming year and the cycle goes on and on. Why do we find it hard to stick by our resolutions? According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, resolution may mean : A strong will, determination. A statement of intent, a vow. Some people, after so many failed resolutions have given up, they want to go with the flow of ''anything goes.'' The idea isn't that bad, it is however good when we map out how we want the new year to be. Whether to inculcate new things or thrash stuff that ain't ideal. Do...

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it. ...
