Nostalgia


There was Teleclass on AIT in the mid nineties...that really brought me closer to science class even though I was years away from Senior High School classes. Now, its one music or dance talent show after the other...as if all the other talents are not worth celebrating. To make matters worse, you now see caricature programs labeled Reality TV...yeah right! 


To make matters worse still, most of our movies have no educational bend, save to scare the living day-lights out of kids and make them suspicious of the world they live in. You can't turn on your TV at any point in time and get to watch an inspirational music or program! Add more salt to injury, they run 24-hour TV and Radio filled with nothing! Yet they charge the fees of someone building a space station! Then I hear there's a law preventing the opening of religious TV stations *SMH* we are headed for doom if we do not stand up and take our country by the horn and collectively chart a viable course for her. 


I have said over and over again, my kids will not go to school in this country from 8am - 5pm! Ahn ahn, kilode? That kills children's creativity. Kids learn more by playing and using their bountiful reserve of energy in creative ways. Let kids play, a sport, hobby, just make sure you're not pumping them full with book theory, they need an avenue for expression, make sure they get that...thoughts, anyone?

Original Song - Cynical

This is the lyrics of a song that I wrote a while back, decided to title it Cynical. I am still looking for a singer who will add melody to it and use it to bless humanity. If you have concrete ideas, please send an email. Inspiration There have been some low points in my life that I battled with depression, and this period was one of such. I was in the middle of my 'extra year' in the university, was working part-time with a publishing house, and was barely keeping it together. That distorted my view of the world dynamics a little. When I put pen to paper, this is what I came up with. CYNICAL I have become Cynical With all I've been through Though your Love has been there all along I've chosen not to be thankful anymore I hardly ever look forward To the time we've always shared Now I see the light, I change my ways Am pushing aside my busyness to be with you I remember the season When all I had is your Love But so many distractions...

Education Comment

I think, school shouldn't be a place where obsolete junk are dumped in my head but a place where my abilities are sharpened and channeled to benefit mankind. If that were the case, instead of suffering myself in science class in order to become an electronic engineer, I would have stayed in the creative arts and might have created a world-famous advert by now. Coulda, woulda, shoulda won't solve anything now, but for the young ones coming behind reading this, please stay in your area of strength. The williams sisters don't need to know any formula, they do what they do, and they are good at it. Same for Lionel Messi, Tiger Woods, Michael Jordan, Usain Bolt, Picasso, Martin Lawrence, Ali Baba, and a whole bunch of folks like that. School is not the only place you can be educated, it is way overrated. It is just a launchpad, a supposed leverage. Man was not made for the school, but the school was made for the man. Like the bushman said in the 1982 movie The gods Mu...

LIFE; A Brief

Lord, what is happening to me? I feel so numb and I don't understand. Is this feeling okay? What is the whole point if we live just to die? Why does it have to be now, and not decades later? What is the essence of life? What is the meaning of this brief stay on this side of eternity? I see folks with swollen red eyes, and others with dry eyes but pious looks on their faces and can't help but wonder what if... Where shall we go from here? How shall we prevent further occurence or are we doomed to suffer the same fate? Sons die, daughters die, fathers die, mothers die, young ones die, aged folks die, wives die, husbands too. The order in which they die however is not known by anyone but by God. This brings me back to my already futile quest-knowing the point of it all... We live, we die.Why is it that we don't really respond or show up to our folks when good things happen to them? Seems to me like we have taken those good things for granted because they happen every now and...
