My Movements

Though some scholars have criticized Nitobe’s work as romanticized yearning for a non-existent age of chivalry, there’s no question that his work builds on extraordinary thousand-year-old precepts of manhood that originated in chivalrous behavior on the part of some, though certainly not all, samurai. What today’s readers may find most enlightening about Bushido is the emphasis on compassion, benevolence, and the other non-martial qualities of true manliness. Here are Bushido’s Eight Virtues as explicated by Nitobe Inazo :           I.             I.  Rectitude or Justice Bushido refers not only to martial rectitude, but to personal rectitude: Rectitude or Justice is the strongest virtue of Bushido. A well-known samurai defines it this way: ‘Rectitude is one’s power to decide upon a course of conduct in accordance with reason, without wavering; to die when to die is right, to stri...

oflanky.wordpress.com I‘m looking for a life-changing experience, and which will in turn enable me impact on people’s lives! This is why I lives and what keeps me going with more perseverance to succeed! Though I wonder how it is so difficult to make it some talents at our disposal; it baffles me with the our leaders in Nigeria deceives people with their archaic type of leadership to put the general populace in a quagmire situation! Though I sleeps and wakes to set the plans on the way forward but I always at the edge and met brick-walls all the time (it looks like am all alone)! I graduated with an optimism to make a better living as well as ensuring my families enjoy whatever goodies on earth before death came calling! Well the world is still rolling with hope as the propeller: I HOPE TO MAKE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE ! My message of hope to those who’s about to give is: “ DON’T GIVE UP, YOUR MIRACLE IS RIGHT AT THE DOOR AND YOU MUST BE WILLING TO OPEN THE DOOR TO YOUR BREAKT...

E ven though the Naira was still very strong at the exchange rate of 60 Kobo to a dollar (yes, in this same Nigeria!) and graduates could afford to be choosy when it came to employment and career prospects, there were tell tale signs by mid 1981 that the economy had begun to wobble. But President Shehu Shagari and his Second Republic civilian administration chose to live in denial. However, on his way out of the country for vacation on 4th July that year, the late Chief Obafemi Awolowo released to the media copies of a letter he had sent to the president three days earlier. “There is a frightful danger ahead visible for those who care and are patriotic enough to look beyond their narrow self-interest. Our ship of state is fast approaching a huge rock; and unless you, as chief helmsman, quickly rise to the occasion and courageously steer the ship away from its present course, it shall hit the rock,” ' Awo' warned in the letter . Two days later, President Shagar i re...

"I Have a Dream" is a public speech delivered by American civil rights activist Martin Luther King Jr. during the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom on August 28, 1963, in which he calls for an end to racism in the United States and called for civil and economic rights. Delivered to over 250,000 civil rights supporters from the steps of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., the speech was a defining moment of the American Civil Rights Movement. Beginning with a reference to the Emancipation Proclamation, which freed millions of slaves in 1863, King observes that: "one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free".[ Toward the end of the speech, King departed from his prepared text for a partly improvised peroration on the theme "I have a dream", prompted by Mahalia Jackson's cry: "Tell them about the dream, Martin!" In this part of the speech, which most excited the listeners and has now become its most famous, King des...
