I love my country.

I am proud to be Nigerian and will say it anywhere.Call it a country full of criminals and swindlers at every level.Call it a country where corruption is a virtue and looting is celebrated.A country where human lords hold sway in positions of power and dictate the pace of the people.A country,I believe has the greatest number of religious people in the world,yet represent so much evil.A country where senators are sworn in to become sinnators.A country where democracy means a government of the "chosens" by the "choicemakers" for the "not chosen",an era for embezzlement and free license to oppress the people.A country where unemployment is the order of the day and the basic needs of lives are luxuries for more than half of the citizens.Well,call what you will...I love my country,I no go lie!

It will interest you to know that in thesame country Nigeria,there abounds several people who do not just crave for but are working towards a permanent change to the endless list of evil which seems to be plaguing a blessed country like Nigeria.There are men and women who have contributed immensely to the height of Nigeria today.People whom Nigerians and the world at large are proud to identify with.In Nigeria,we have good schools,we have well equipped hospitals,we have good water and great mineral resources.Though the infrastructures may not be enough for the teeming population,we have them in any case.So something good can come out of Nigeria afterall!.

I know that even the most liberal of critics may discuss the hopelessness of the Nigerian situation,albeit in private.There is still hope.As long as there is life,we must continue counting on the brightness of tomorrow.While discussing with my colleagues yesterday,I came close to saying that the country should be didvided because with every point raised,I seemed to think more of hopelessness than ever.Well one could ask:Is division the ideal solution to the Nigerian situation?Why not,another could answer:how in God's world can a country with over two hundred ethnic groups and languages stick together as a country?and yet another opines:But we have been together for fifty years now so why can't we keep sticking together?The questions could go on and on,you know,like I'm sure you have yours right now!.

I love my country Nigeria and would tell anyone who cares to listen.As a Nigerian,I have decided never to litter my environment,change any figure in my office,urinate in the street,beat traffic light,bribe the police,cheat wether in an examination or in the market but to help the poor and needy,vote during elections,care for the sick and love my neighbour.Come,join me,lets make Nigeria a better place for all of us.Let the change start from you!I pledge to Nigeria my country to be faithful loyal and honest...so help me God!

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
