You've been given all the value you need to get the Value you want

Do this... close your eyes and imagine yourself living your very best life. Imagine you had all the luxury, influence and money you ever wanted. Imagine you've impacted a million lives and still making more impact, imagine that every day, you woke up to your dream life and you are by all means living your very best life.

...
I listened to a coca cola radio advert with @zlatan_ibile and I was inspired deeply on my inside.
...
Let me explain, Coca cola is a 127 years old company with 82 billion dollars in assets with a yearly turn over of 32 billion dollars. Coca cola is one of the realest definitions of a multi national.
...
On the flip side, Zlatan Ibile came from what we would call "the streets" by implication, he was born poor, with very little opportunities and not much to look up to, in his words in one of his songs, he referred to his former self as omo gota (a child from the gutter) just to further explain his background in comparison to where he is now.
...
But fast forward from that past version of Zlatan to the 2019 version of him, he's being paid in millions to endorse multi nationals of the Coca cola magnitude. The only difference between Zlatan of today and unknown Zlatan of many years back is a talent he discovered, honed, chased after despite the many difficulties, made a skill out of, failed at it but kept at it and he his today, sort after all over the world living his biggest dreams. There are several examples from every industry of this type of testimony, a personality, brand or company that came from nothing but now has everything only for a value they learnt, mastered and now deliver.
...
And I realised that all you need to be a force in your generation is right inside of you, not without, not in a school, not in a country but right inside of you. Let it excite you and also bother you that everything you need to attain your biggest dreams lies right on your inside.
...
It is your duty to find it with your every day, hone it with your every try, master it, package it as a skill and exchange for more value.
...
This the realest truth ever if you ever hope to live your dreams
...
So get to work and keep at it.

Imagine Now by Deji Onadeko

Imagine Now

I think the beauty about life is the amount of freedom we have access to through our minds and imaginations. All fingers are truly not equal, but one thing that life cheats no man of is the length, breadth and depth in which our minds have the ability to experience.

To the Friend that never leaves… by Deji Onadeko



To the Friend that never leaves…

Imperfect, selfish, childish, angry, impatient
These words describe me well…
And if at all I’ve ever been a good friend,
Only my true friends can tell…

YOU ARE POWERFUL by Seun Fakorede

‘’Arise, O Compatriots, Nigeria’s call obey….’’
Nigeria is rising and all of us have a part to play in bringing about this much desired state of well-being, without any doubt. One of the primary functions of leadership is to inspire, and if there is inspiring leadership to be found anywhere in the country today, many would agree that it is in Lagos state. It is sad however, to hear that there are some who are grumbling seriously against the efforts of the state government at transforming Lagos, and even working hard to undermine them. Such people would rather have us return to the days of street made impassable not by potholes but by traders who have seized them from the public. They argue that by taking back the streets and railway tracks from traders and roadside mechanics, “Fashola” is removing food from their mouths...

Listening to such arguments makes one tend towards despair for this nation, for one then wonders which is the sorrier state to be in: having a leadership which does not care for the people or having a people who are unable to recognise when they are being cared for? Well irrespective of whatever might be the situation let me submit by saying that although ‘’EKO oni’’ (today’s Lagos) still needs quite a reasonable amount of fixing because there are aspects of it which are actually ‘’baje’’ (spoilt) at the moment, it is the hope of all of us (well-meaning and  right-thinking Nigerians) that the state of beauty and wellness which we long to see realised in Lagos will be attained sooner rather than later, so that we can then, with our whole hearts and minds, uphold it with our prayers. EKO ko nii baje o !

I pointed out the above from the Lagos situation so as to slowly delve into my brief discuss.
Firstly, let’s imagine a Nigerian election without the participation of the youths, i.e. no youth contested, no youth voted. We would have side-lined over 40 percent of Nigerians and over 70 percent of eligible voters from rightly participating in the elections.

Let’s now imagine a Nigeria that had a majority of youths that will rather do the right thing than otherwise, that will stand up for what is right, not just on social media but venture also into the field of action with the intent to do something differently.

Let’sfinally imagine a Lagos state with this kind of youths, or better still a Nigeria, with this kind of youths. I confidently put it to you that, if Nigeria had this kind of youths, even the most influential of the ogas at the top will be forced to rule right or step down for competence to reign.

Listen, they’ve tried to bury us, but they didn’t know we are seeds. But how will this matter if we refuse to utilise all that we’ve grown to become in the betterment of our nation and we just selfishly concentrate on personal dreams and goals forgetting that Nigeria is ours to build. Youths, we have been buried for so long. The time to transform to fruition is now. Have you ever noticed that seeds are not usually so big but they have the capacity to produce very large trees and have beautiful fruits?

You are powerful but really, how did we develop this corporate indomitable, apparently unique Nigerian (Naija) mind-set which cannot but laugh at its own woes? This must be the reason we have been called ‘’the happiest people on earth’’. However, could it not also be the same reason that we continue to be exploited by our leaders, both politically and traditionally? They believe they can get away with anything with us, knowing that ‘’the heavens won’t fall’’. It was Richard Dowden, in his book, Africa: Altered States, ordinary miracles, who made two very insightful statements about the continent. ‘’Africa always has hope’’, and ‘’ African patience allows exploitation and oppression to thrive’’.

Sincerely, I so much love this Naija mind-set and would not wish to trade it for anything else. It constitutes, probably, the most defining trait of our national identity just like that! Laughter, it has also been said, is the best medicine, and God knows we do need some good medicine to face up to the challenges of everyday life in this present world! However, you should not engage in mindless laughter at such a time like this which clearly calls for serious reflection and decisive action because #YouArePowerful.

While you laugh and joke about our peculiar predicament, take a pause, recognise the seriousness of our situation and rouse yourselves to act decisively because #YouArePowerful.

We stand now at the threshold of a golden opportunity to impress upon our leaders that we demand good governance based on justice, equity, accountability, transparency and integrity from them because we know #WeAndOurChoicesArePowerful.

We should expand the current palaver over the unscrupulous act of terror in the nation and make it a launching pad to call for far-reaching and very fundamental changes in the way this country is being governed.

You know why all these things will happen? Yes, you are right! It’s because #YouAndYourChoicesArePowerful.

Note that an accumulated right stand is all it will take to help NAIJA STAND.

As for me I have pledged to serve Nigeria with all my strength, I want to see Nigeria grow younger as I grow older. This is my dream and it shall surely come to pass.

You are powerful, what will you do for Nigeria? Think about this!

Thank you.

CHANGE, Goodluck Jonathan and NIGERIA by Dr Ayomide Owoyemi

Yesterday, at about a few hours into the morning, I came across a picture on instagram that read vote GMB, vote change. And it led me to wonder sincerely if truly General Buhari is the change we need. I then put this up on my pm saying "I know GEJ is no good but is GMB truly the change we need? #IWantuLearn" people then began riding in messages, telling their opinions which I munched momentarily and made dps from them so my contacts can be a part of the convo. It was enlightening and Dr Ayomide Joe, one of the finest writers and lover of creative art in this part of the world sent this in and hopes sincerely that it educates and enlighten a few about his opinion on the forth coming poles. 

NOTE: I take a neutral stand but I insist that every youth be a part the election process via opinions and discussions and above all, every youth should COME OUT and VOTE. Remember, #YouArePowerful

But the horse was king, and almost everything grew around him...This was what we were born to, and all we knew at first. Then, to the scream of the horse, the change began. The brass-lamped motor-car came coughing up the road.
