What are you to your world?

Examples are many; it's either negatives or positives! Bennito Mussolini had a mentors and he followed the path till the felt their ideology! Machiavellians are following the footsteps of the Niccolo Machiavelli- wrong or right, positive or negative! We have The Platonians, The Aristotles,The Socrates, The Moses, The Davids, The Jesuses, The Mohamedians, The Solomons, The Hitlers, The Mandelas, The Lutherans, The Maucaleys, The Washingtons, The Allis, The Awos, The Ziks, The Bellos, The Fawehinmis, The Valentines, The Emegwalis, The Mugabes, The IBBs, The Saddams, The IdiAmins, The Ceasars, The Marleys, The Halleselasies, etc. To be cracking brains for examples, can take a whole lifetime but I will just restrict myself to some that I can remember-no one is an island of knowledge!
What we set today becomes something of tomorrows, this leads to why I wake up to the question of: what am I to the world? Is my targets good for the sustainability of human around me? The inevitability of every human being is death! You are Gates, Rockefeller,  Zuckerberg,  Dangote, Jonathan, Buhari, OBJ, Gowon, Mugabe, Zuma, King, Queen, President, Senator, Governor, Honorable, pauper, saint, sinner; we are all going to die and without taking anything away to great beyond! 

In Yorubaland, an elder is the keeper and protector of the societal safety. The soup in the belly of the elder is not supposed to dance like a python. Whatever moves like a snake in the dark is treated like a snake. When an elder allows the soup to move in his belly,   he's fed with palm fronds. Discovering a sculptor you venerate is actually a woodpecker, how would you react?
Overlords come to you first as smiling guests,  or as patronizing traders; then introduce "treaties of friendship;" then seek your alliance against their rivals; then proceed to own you as their "sphere of influence" and then, finally, they claim "a kind of right of priority" over you. The British did all these but they were not original. =

A Challenge to The African Leaders (Nigeria's Example)

"Be a gift to everyone who enters your life, and to everyone who’s your life you enter. Be careful not to enter another's if you cannot always be gift (you can always be a gift, because you always are the gift-yet sometimes you do not let yourself know that)" . This quote was culled from the Conversation with God: Uncommon Dialogue. Volume 2 by Weale Donald Walsch ! The life we found ourselves in is a gift, we are a gift, I am a gift and your belief is what can make you a gift if you allow your faith to manifest! Since I discovered myself to be a gift to the world, I have been threading the path of positivism always! From the spirit of given wholeheartedly to the process of helping the helpless in whatever capacity I can! This process leads to why I will always be wondering why African leaders accumulating the wealth meant the entire populace for their personal use. There are times I think the gauntlet of truth must be unveil, alas there is no resources that star...

"WHEN A LOSS IS A VICTORY" - By Dr. Wladimir Klitchsko

At the end of April I competed against Anthony Joshua , and thereby took on the greatest of all challenges: In front of 90,000 spectators in a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London – as well as a TV audience of millions in more than 150 countries – I fought the fight of my life against the 28-year-old Englishman. I competed to conquer the best of the best. Sadly, I failed to achieve my goal. The outcome was that my opponent won the fight. But despite this, and however absurd it may sound, I also left the ring victorious. In the run-up, I was 100 percent certain that I would win the duel. I had prepared as well as I could and felt I was in the best form of my life; winning back the title of World Champion was my obsession. I gave it everything during the fight. I managed to get up several times after being knocked down. I was even able to send my opponent to the canvas. But, in the end, it was Anthony Joshua who struck the decisive blow and left the ring victorious. I failed to ...

Shujaa Ernest Graham- A Rare Gem!

By profiling a man like Shujaa Graham; I am just wondering where can we find a matching example here in Nigeria? What we are witnessing today, are just self-serving leaders, who are hellbent on trampling the common man's rights without blinking! We wakes up to lots of empty promises and all they preach is patience! Chief Obafemi Awolowo, of blessed memory spoke about the decay of public affairs, a year after independence! What was the reaction? It is rhetorical when many unanswerable questions are what we could tenders to the incoming generations! Say No To Injustice! Say No To Racial Segregation!! Together we can make the world a better place to live in!!! Happy reading! A man who has shown by example that you can stand up for what you believe, and be victorious if you stand up for what you believe. Shujaa Graham was born in Lake Providence, LA, where he grew up on a plantation. His family worked as share-croppers, in the segregated South of the 50s. In 1961, he ...
