CONTINUE

Most often it appears that most of our actions and inactions goes unnoticed by the majority of the populace all around us.

If you are into things that touches the lives of people in their number, well most times trust me it appears your labor goes unnoticed by people.

Some folks even complain to your face how what you are doing does not make sense. Well some two weeks ago I shared an insight into how to handle does kind of people.

Anything whatsoever

DOORS

We often learn life lessons in ways that seems most times absurd. But in as much as we still have breath in our nostrils, we will make mistakes and must be wise enough to choose to learn from them.

When a door gets shut against us, it brings much dejection

INCOMPLETE THOUGHT

Some peeps around you sometimes are just always funny in funny ways. 

Sometimes you are about to do some things you once conceived as noble ideas and just when you set out,

WHO IS TO BE BLAME?

Moral Decadence in Modern Day Youths

“Respect is Reciprocal” as the saying goes or should it be put as went, because it has now become a thing of the past, not because it is no longer being mentioned, but the emphasis on it seem to have been at its barest minimum. 

The people of the South West of Nigeria are known to be the most respectful sect in the nation, but over the years, it has become a difficulty for a Yoruba child to wake up in the morning and prostrate face flat on the ground to greet their parents or elders for the guys or completely kneel down for the girls.

Manners imbibed at home definitely have an impact on who a person is on the outside. 

One popular tradition in those days is the inability of children to start eating on the dining tables before their Dad start.

 Bringing that into the modern dinners or high class societies, you would not try eating until the convener of the dinner starts of give you the go ahead.

 Some people have mistaken some of such moves of impatience as part of modernization while it is simply moral decadence.

More of this is attributed to the dying cultures in Nigeria. 

A larger percentage of Nigerian youths do not know how to speak their native language even when they stay in the midst of their fellow natives.  

How would a child who is not necessitated at one point or the other to learn his/her language learn the cultures of his society? It has gotten so bad that majority of the modern day youths do not know where their ancestral fathers originated from. 

How long will this go on?

 How long will this decadence go on? 

A lot of abnormalities in our society have had their roots imbedded in the lack of home training.

As much as the children are to blame, majority of the blame falls on the parents.

 While some do not fancy teaching their children how a right thinking person should behave, so simply do not even bother creating the time to teach these lessons. 

Who then will these children learn other than from the majority (untrained youths). A lot have to be done in educating the over job-obsessed parents who have been the major contributors to the moral decadence in our society.

A lot can be done to curb this moral decadence called disrespect but the root cause which happen to be the home must be addressed. 

Cultural values must be preached in schools if parents refuse to perform their fundamental values, before we permanently loose our society to activities of the western world, which is in deep contrast to what every right thinking Nigerian is meant and brought up to follow.

EDUCATE US

If education is the key to a growing world, then school is the lock.

Lets take an holistic approach to the scenario of the neighbor next door, the child is very energetic, brilliant and adventurous.

Makes something we can ride on with car Boris and planks of wood. That child was exceptional. 

Looks for a burnt tyre gets the rings out and then makes something we can roll around with in the neighborhood. 

All kids shout with excitement and joy while playing around with these objects made out of a critically thinking mind.

Speaks and understands the indigenous languages very well, but alas when in the class room the teacher blows grammars that easily turns off his attention. 

Then the teacher refers to him as the dullest student in the class, does woefully in all courses except his indigenous language, arts and crafts.

From here,the debate of either using our indigenous languages in the class room  arise again.

For a long time education has been confused with schooling. 

Now that dude whose instances I just shared learned how to ride a bicycle and does it well than other kids in the neighborhood.

 His always desirous to learn new things. Then someone comes out and say something along the lines of 

" his destiny is to learn trades, let him abandon a formal education" .

But I am eager to always tell them he loves to learn new things, he learns pretty fast. That's a desire to be educated. Yet all I get is a snub.

The parents then looses hope in the vibrant kid because of the teachers comment.

Its time to give education a topmost priority. When you educate a man, you stop the spread of another evil.

 That guy or lady you liberate with an educated mind reduces the chances of the society having another suicide bomber or a terrorist.

Those kids you deny the right to education today either formally or informally might just be the ones to terrorize our territories tomorrow.

EDUCATE US, SAVE FUTURE GENENATION IS MY CRY.

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN.

DEFINING MOMENTS

In recent months, I have made new friends. And I must confess they are amazing beings. So I would say on the average destiny brought us together.

Last night I was into a brief and concise discussion with one of my new friends and then suddenly and unexpectedly a question popped up while sharing with him my experiences in the past.

It was at that point we were sharing stories of people who have touched our life's in unique and unforgettable ways.

Then my friend asked ;

" WHY DO YOU THINK WE ARE CROSSING PATH AT THIS MOMENT AND STAGE OF OUR LIFE?".

What a question I sighed! 

Then at that moment I eloped with joy that yes I have found yet another great friend.

We found our way to answering that moment defining question last night and our friendship moved to another level, and a well defined one I must confess.

Now most times when you make friends, have you ever reasoned why you guys are meeting at that instance?

For what could it have been?

Listen, everybody you will meet in life will have a purpose to fulfill in your life either good or bad. If you fail to find out the purpose the consequences will only come as a surprise.

So my words to you this week is that, don't just mingle, don't just make friends. Find reasons to want to make friends.

AND WHEN YOU FINALLY MAKE NEWS FRIENDS, MAKE SURE YOU BIRTH THOSE DEFINNING MOMENTS OF ASKING "WHY NOW" ?

Those moments might be the necessary push you need to get to the next stage of your life, so you must take conscious effort to deliberately birth them.

ALWAYS ASK WHY??

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN.

BABY FACTORY

The last three decades have seen a lot of more baby factories than mothers. NO APOLOGIES.

The thugs on the street used for political violence around the globe are born by some baby factories and not mothers.

This piece wont be of many lines, but will be filled with my opinion on this abnormal phenomenal incidence of baby factories.

Baby factories are illegal and when discovered, people involved are dealt with by the law. But then baby factories have evolved and moved from its familiar form to a more civil form and what has now metamorphosed into a societal norm.

Mothers are priceless jewels. They build any community, Nations, and home. Girls grow into ladies and then someday becomes a woman.

She can at puberty then choose on which side to be, Either a baby factory or a mother.

I have seen circumstance where parents father and mother gives birth to kids they cannot motivate , inspire or even build a successful life plan for. These people who give birth to kids without the aforementioned abilities are the 21st century baby factories.

And this incidence is now becoming a norm in the last three decades.

The other day I was coming home from work, and just on the express road, around a corner of the road, I saw three kids. The oldest of them can only be five (5) years old and the least about three (3) years old hawking.

Then I began to question myself, who gave birth to all these kids?

WHO ? WHO? WHO?

In 2013, Records has it that about 10.5 million kids are out of school in Nigeria. Who on earth gave birth to all this kids?

It got more scary when I read from a publication recently that about 60,000 births are expected in Nigeria's Internally displaced peoples camp, a camp that boast of about 3.3 million people with about 90% of whose population are women and children.

And when you walk around some big markets and motor parks on our streets today, you will observe that the population of kids selling sachet water, sweets and other things are really high.

Now to the gentle ladies and Men's of my generation, who are exposed to the world without opening the front door, we need mothers and fathers.

Let all baby factories go to hell!

There are lots of responsibilities ahead of us, we need to build Nigeria,

Africa is ours to build.

We must seek to make this world that we have borrowed from generations unborn a much better place.

No baby factory should have a place in our generation.

We need mothers and fathers who will only give birth to kids they have plans for,

We need fathers and mothers who will only give birth to kids they can inspire to greatness,

My generation need fathers and mothers who will not be mean to their kids on the grounds of their past experiences,

My generation needs fathers and mothers who will have the courage to motivate there kids when they fill like giving up,

We need fathers and mothers who will will allow there kids chase there dreams even when its video games they are passionate about,

My generation needs fathers and mothers who will challenge the status quo,

My generation needs to fix the messes of the past decades,

Another set of BABY FACTORIES WILL ONLY WORSEN THE STATUS QUO.

But what I then suggest to curb this menace is fairly outlandish , and here is it; maybe it is time for Africa and Nigeria to review and put in modalities to borrow the one-child policy from china.

The world needs more fathers and mothers, not just another set of BABY FACTORIES .

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN.

BEHIND THE SCENE

Having an hero or a mentor is fantastic. In fact I try as much as possible to encourage people who don't have one to do so.

But critical attention has to be paid to high incidence of hero worship.

When we have hero's and mentors, their influence is always enormous on us as individuals.

We tend to eat the same way they do,

Walk the same way they walk.

Talk the same way they talk and do virtually everything they do.

Those things that they do that we cannot do are the things that goes on in the back stage of their life. Those things are tagged "personal life".

While I do not question the ideology of the "personal life", I must be fast to state clearly that majority of those things labeled "personal life" are where critical life lessons reside.

And guess what ? Only few of our hero's and mentors have the gut to share them with us.

A friend of mine once attended a conference where one the guest speakers happens to be an hero from afar of his.

To my friends utter surprise, the guest speaker only talked about the upstage events of his life , which is full of glamour and all the cameras.

The troubles and travails of our hero's we really don't get to know. We just hear stuffs like "I came from an humble background and I am able to scale through the huddles of life and here am I today".

Sometimes we try to question them and hear how they overcame those hurdles of life. But those are the behind the scene events we really don't get to hear about.

But the fact remains those events occur.

Its not wrong that they choose not to share the back stage events of there life, Its just that some critical lessons of life are missed by thousands of their fans and men tees.

Here is the point: Don't always assume that everything you gain access to know about your hero's and mentors is all to them.

Never assume that everything is going on perfectly for them. ( you may just be wrong).

The back stage events, we really don't get to know.

All we just want to be is like them.

DEAR FRIENDS WHILE KEEPING YOUR ASPIRATIONS HIGH, AND HOPING TO BE LIKE YOUR SUPER HERO, BE PREPARED FOR SOME STERN LIFE REALITIES THAT THEY WOULD NOT HAVE SHARED WITH YOU EARLIER.

ITS NOT ALWAYS SMOOTH AS IT SEEMS, BUT THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY AROUND EVERY OBSTACLE.

KEEP YOUR HOPES HIGH AND ALSO BE SMARTLY PREPARED, That way those realities will not surprise you.

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN.

I AM BLIND

I belong to the category of people who are dreamers. I actually do not mean that in its literal sense. 

But picture an average guy who just lies on a very comfortable bouncing bed, facing the ceilings with the fan blowing cool breeze. Lights on , eyes wide opened but yet has gone farther away from the room.

Its an heightened level of Imaginations, peculiar to blind people.

Only in the dream does a blind man gets to do those things he loves most like driving a car amongst other things.

I have eyes and I can see , although not perfectly because I have myopia . YET I am blind.

Sounds like a confused man right?

Let me share with you some lines about a man that inspires me a lot and have greatly influenced my life.

His name is COBHAMS ASUQUO. He was born blind into a family of six and he happens to be the only one without sight. 

It was however pointed out that his blindness has no known causes, no lineage linkage. Just the reality that he his blind.

Cobhams has never experienced sight so he does not know what it is like to have sight.

Living sightless in a world that is actually designed for sighted People is tough but Cobhams got along and today he his one of the most celebrated music producer in Africa, Nigeria and worldwide.

I will be sharing one of his experiences as I nail the point I am driving at.

When his wife goes shopping, she sometimes or most times manages to bring home some extras. And they are referred to as good deals.

Here is the point; Sight is precious and very important because this world was originally designed for sighted people. But on the other hand, sight could be a Distraction.

Just as she could not go shopping without bringing home the good deals. 

The good deals were never the goals, they only created extra laugage.

She was able to bring home the good deals from the females sporting activity (shopping) , because she got attracted through her sight to them (good deals).

COBHAMS ASUQUO.

On your way to your destination, what you see can also be a distraction from your goal.

Since that very moment, I became conscious of distractions and I realized being blind to them is a valid way to avoid them, I became blind.

So when I say I am blind , I was only referring to the fact that I choose to be blind to distractions.

You must assume blindness to distraction in other to avoid them. In fact it is critical that you don't only assume blindness to distraction, you must be blind to distraction.

That way, your ability to focus on your life goals and aspirations will be made much more easier.

I am blind, we must all be blind to distraction even when we can see with either our two or four eyes.

Lets go a step higher. YES WE CAN.

PLAN B

Its a great war, as symbolic as the world war which off course you and I absolutely have no idea of what it looks like. Except for documentaries we have seen over the years.

The General in Command of the team keeps stressing your importance in his team, always trying to psyche you up and get you battle ready. You are the PLAN A.

But to your astonishing surprise, the general concentrates and dedicates majority of his time, energy and resources into the soldiers on standby, who are currently missing in the frontline.

The General maintains an updated link with the team members on standby. 

They are the PLAN B.

Now while you on the frontline keeps on advancing and all the General keeps doing is communicating with the soldiers on standby , it shows the level of faith the general has in your ability to win the war for him or with him.

How comfortable would you be fighting in such a Generals team?

Or, I should rather ask ,

How comfortable should you be in that frontline ?

Let me make it clearer , as a guy who loves football, how comfortable will you be , playing for a coach who have no faith in the team?

Am sure such a player would be seeking ways to exit the team or continues to play with little or no passion.

Most times in life we have folks who when we relay our dreams and aspirations to, are always more interested in our PLAN B.

They package the PLAN B and makes it look so lucrative that you are tempted to abandon that believe , hope and confidence which was your initial impetus for your PLAN A.

They are never inspired by the PLAN A , they give you over a million reasons why it wont work.

Now here is how to deal with the dream killers, the PLAN B preachers.

kick them in the ASS. 

Never allow their ideologies prevail over your fantastic dreams and aspirations.

Even when possible avoid them. Don't share those dreams with them again.

 Pitch your tent with people who will help find ways of upgrading PLAN A even when it looks too shabby.

DONT allow your dreams to be killed by the PLAN B preachers.

IF YOU CAN CONCIEVE THEM, IT MEANS YOU CAN ACHIEVE THEM.

And moreover the PLAN B preachers have no faith in your PLAN A and so they deserve no PLAN A position in your life.

 They should be in your PLAN B if you ever have one.

I kicked the ass of my PLAN B preachers and am happy to say PLAN A is doing well.

DEAL WITH THEM OR THEY KILL YOUR DREAMS.

Let’s go a step higher....YES WE CAN

THE "YOU" IN YOU

The “you” in you, the “me” in me, is a long term research process. 

The process of discovering the “you” is described as being a cumbersome one and some will actually put it as an impossible process.

 They are not to be blame in most cases. This may largely be due to the fact that they are unwilling to push for it. 

Discovering the “you” in you is simply digging deep and bringing out the special features God has deposited in you.

 Special features here is as a result of the fact that each human is made in his/her own special way. Like it is often said, no two individuals are exactly alike.

The yam farmer cultivates the yam but if he refuses to come back in eight months, all his efforts during the first six to seven months becomes wasted. 

Finding the best out of you is the best way to control happenings around you.

 The things you love, things you do with ease, with little or no sweat, things you don’t have to be compelled to do before you take the step, are different versions of you.

One basic and important “you” is your talent.

 Every human is talented in one thing or the other. This is not obvious because we cease to discover that talent.

 Not every musician is talented in music, most of them just do it for the money, not basically because they love it. That is why we have musicians with one hit track and then they become history.

 Discovering “you” is a deep process that involves you digging into what you are made of. Because you are studying/studied a course in the university should not restrict you from letting the “you” grow up. 

That also does not mean you should be slack in your academics.

Every good thing comes with its challenges and heart-aches. 

Discovering “you” may involve you leaving your comfort zone or depriving yourself of things that would normally come easy. Discovering you help reduce the work-load on you. 

There could be stumbling blocks just when you launch the unraveled you. What you need to do is to ensure that wall does not come up again. 

Some may say, a fool falls in a pit twice. But when it comes to “you”, you are not a fool, you are only doing more than you did the previous time.

 Learn from past mistakes and try your best never fall into those very mistake again.

In conclusion, take some time out to discover “you”. 

That may be the turning point of your life and your career.

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL

NIGERIA AND THE QUEST FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

Nigeria and the rest of the world on 23rd of September, 2015 at the United Nations General Assembly in New York adopted a post-Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) termed Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) which contains a 17 point action plan geared towards achieving Global Goals by 2030.

But there is a need for us to carefully and critically assess the MDGs so that we can have a clear path in pursuing the SDGs.

The eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) – which range from halving extreme poverty rates to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015- form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions.

Goal 1- Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger

According to 2014 Millennium Development Goals Report of The United Nation, Nigeria sits third in the top five countries with the largest share of the global extreme poor (china- 32.9%, India-35.5%, Nigeria-8.9%, Bangladesh- 5.3%, Democratic Republic of Congo- 4.6%, other countries -35.5%) with about 100million Nigerians living below the poverty threshold (1.25$ per day).

Goal 2- Achieve universal primary education

The net enrolment rate for primary education for Sub-Saharan Africa has increased from 52% in 1990 to 78% in 2012 (2014 MDGs Report of UN) with Nigeria’s literacy rate estimated at 61% (US State Dept.) but the number of illiterates remains high despite rising literacy rates.

Goal 3- Promote gender equality and empower women

According to the 2014 MDGs report on MDGs, gender disparities are more prevalent at higher levels of education with Nigeria and the rest of the Sub-Saharan Africa having a gender parity index of 0.92% in primary education, 0.84% in secondary education and 0.64% in tertiary education.

Also, a 2012 DFID Gender Report suggests that about 80.2 million women and girls in Nigeria have significantly worse life chances than men and also their sisters in comparable societies.

Goal 4- Reduce Child Mortality

According to the 2014 UN report on MDGs, four out of every five deaths of children under age five continue to occur in Nigeria and the rest of Sub-Saharan Africa. Nevertheless, the region has made remarkable progress since 1990, reducing child mortality rates by 45%.

It is worthy to note that preventable diseases are the main causes of under-five deaths, and almost half of under-five deaths occur during the neonatal period and of all the three remaining countries with endemic polio, Nigeria’s last reported case was 24 July, 2012 which prompted the world to remove Nigeria from the list of polio-endemic nations with only Afghanistan and Pakistan left. 

On the contrary, Nigeria is still prone to Measles with a total of 5189 reported cases in 2011(WHO), and it has been estimated that about 1.7 million children in Nigeria are still unprotected from the deadly disease.

Goal 5-Improve Maternal Health

Globally, the maternal mortality rate dropped by 45% between 1990 and 2013 from 380 deaths to 210 deaths per 100,000 live births.

But Nigeria is still among the nations with extreme maternal mortality with 40,000 maternal deaths alone in 2013 (14%). 

Only India has more maternal death than Nigeria with 50,000 maternal deaths (17%).

Most maternal deaths are preventable. There are well-known health-care solutions for the prevention and handling of complications.

Goal 6- Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria and other diseases

Even though, HIV prevalence is much lower in Nigeria when compared to other Africa countries such as South Africa and Zambia.

 In 2011 alone, approximately 210,000 people died from AIDS in Nigeria. The three main HIV transmission routes in Nigeria are Heterosexual sex, blood transfusion and mother-t-child transmission with an estimated 69,400 children newly infected with HIV in 2011. 

Worldwide, Nigeria has the second highest number of new infections reported each year, and an estimated 3.7% of the population are living with HIV.

 There’s a need to increase HIV prevention in Nigeria through better sex education for young people.

According to Nigeria Malaria Fact Sheet published in 2011 by the US Embassy, malaria is a major public health problem where it accounts for more cases and deaths than any other country in the world. Malaria is the third leading cause of death for children under five years and it is a risk for 97% of Nigeria’s population.

 There are an estimated 100million malaria cases with over 300,000 deaths per year in Nigeria which compares with 215,000deaths per year from HIV/AIDS. 

Therefore, urgent attention must be put in place using the four scientifically proven key interventions to prevent and treat malaria: Insecticide-treated mosquito nets (ITNs), indoor residual spraying (IRS), intermittent preventive treatment for pregnant women (IPT), and diagnosis and treatment.

Goal 7- Ensure Environmental Sustainability

In Lagos alone, 9,000 metric tonnes of waste is generated daily (LAWMA), and about 19000 tonnes of hazardous waste is produced annually in Nigeria and the waste comes mainly from steel, metal processing, pharmaceuticals, textiles, and oil refining industries. 

Also, environmental experts recorded about 125 slum communities.

Although, the Federal ministry of environment said Nigeria is set to reduce emissions and prevent average global temperature from rising above 2 degrees Celsius, still more still need to be done to ensure the environment is safe and clean by adopting more environmental-friendly technologies.

Goal 8- Develop a global partnership for development

In 2012 alone, Nigerian received about $336million in foreign aids from the United States with health aid scooping about $279,431,567 of the total sum.

 Other donor agencies also contributed huge sums of money to the country in the period under review. However, this has not contributed to any meaningful development hence the need for foreign aids to be coordinated and harmonized in Nigeria through administrative framework that has clearly identifiable focal point.

In conclusion, there is the need for relevant government agencies, NGOs, CSOs, private institutions and development partners to analyze critically with a view of correcting the pitfalls of MDGs and rigorously pursuing the SDGs with a renewed hope and tenacity, ensuring that by 2030, Nigeria is free from poverty and hunger. There is decent work and economic growth, reduced inequalities, good health and well being, quality education, gender equality, affordable and clean energy, sustainable cities and communities, responsible consumption and production, and peace, justice and strong institutions.

All these and many more can be achieved with adequate planning, accurate data and proper implementation.

INDEPENDENCE FLOW ON INDEPENDENCE DAY

Nigeria of our dream.

We slept but our eyes were opened , our imaginations gave us a direction, our desires were clear.

We woke up hoping our imaginations are already a reality, ALAS far from it the spirit whispered from within on the cold night.

Corruption has successfully crippled our Imaginations, Blindfolded the eyes of our supposed Savior and wise men, Hindered the bandwidth of progress and advancement, Hardened the heart of the good Samaritans.

The spirit of our founding fathers keep yelling from the great beyond "children our labor is about to be in vain, the evil you allowed has stolen our foundational dreams and aspirations. "

Our sage keeps telling us our land is blessed with milk and honey,

Yet the honey we have not tasted thereof.

Where is the milk flowing?

where is the honey flowing?

Arise oh Arise!

compatriots you must arise!

let all sleeping giants arise!

Tell it in the NORTH, SOUTH, EAST AND WEST.

ARISE COMPATRIOTS ARISE.

Its the dawn of a new beginning, where the rich and the poor, the sick and the healthy, the prisoner and the free men, the military and the democrats will be proud of the green white green.

The time has come to gladdening the hearts of our founding fathers with resounding assurance of victory, with resounding assurance of commitment, with an incomparable passion to defend our territories.

The times has come when the military and democrat, young and old, male and female will together in one voice fight the monster that has kept us long in bondage.

The time has come to regain the true NIGERIAN spirit.

The time has come when our anthems surely will inspire us to excellence.

The time has come to serve our father land with all our strength.

The time has come to uphold love and unity.

The time has come for the youth the truth to know and defend.

The change we seek for a prosperous Nigeria has come to stay.

The time has come when the youth will birth noble ideas that will catapult NIGERIA to the top sit in the world economy.

The time has come when Nigeria will regain her rightful position as a giant in Africa.

Nigeria will surely be great because dreams come true.

 Nigerians, the destiny of Nigeria is in our hands.

The task of making this world we have borrowed from our unborn generations a better place is work in progress and our actions we must vow will be in concert with our words.

We will not give up till our last breath.

MY DREAM NIGERIA , Where every NIGERIAN will be home anywhere they go.

Lets join hand and make Nigeria GREAT.

 GREATNESS IS IN US.

GOD BLESS NIGERIA.
