Isn't Life Short To Make The Best Of It

-
"You can't do anything about the length of your life, but you can do something about its width and depth." – Evan Esar

The gift of life is one that's short and fleeting, which few enjoys at a moment. Life, also, is a gift offered to one once and which does not repeat thereafter. The ephemeralness of life and the fact that it is a one turn event makes it a deeply cherished essential.

Life is highly regarded and the reason for this remains the same for all bearers even as the methodology by which this truism is suggested and expressed varies. The use of life as to express its worth and how so cherished and overtly protected it is swings as it is assayed from one individual to another.

It is to say that while some commit this essential commodity to ventures which are truly worthy and impacting, others mess it around while yet believing they are making good use of it. But then the value we attach to life is showcased, at the end, by the impressions we leave behind. It's the lives we touched, the hope we gave, the better environment and society we bequeathed.

Thus, while this life lasts, build ur future using the strength of your present, because each day that life offers you comes with a dwindling strength. Do well to forget your past but build upon ur past errors, as you work out their corrections in the now.

Don't rely on others but realize the need to acknowledge the people around, for they form part of your life existence.
Think about others as partners, neighbours and your field of human exploration.

Trust in God, the omnipotent and giver of your life. He knows how to tow it and what best it needs to be sufficient and fulfilling. He has the right compass and knows how best to lead it to be purposeful. Believe in yourself, no matter the challenges the day offers you; knowing that the gift of life is that of a rose,filled with aesthetic and spikes as well.

Play your part in entrenching a worthy society that is effective and thriving. Create subsidiaries of hope and faith as you can. Live out the essence each day offers you. Live at peace with yourself, your neighbour and your. They all are vital in making you a fulfilled person.

Lastly and importantly, remember that you have only one life journey to achieve these. Do all you can fast, for time is quickly passing.

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-
Image
Very applauding, it was, to hear of the news of the resignation of the minister of Finance, Kemi Adeosun. It's very commendable because it is one act very rare in this our clime. It just seems that the penchant for relevance and money has denied the vast majority of the people that essential sense of integrity. That denial is one that has brought about the desire to cling unto power even in the midst of opprobrious criticism to just step down. We've had several instances were public officials formed deaf ears to scathing allegations against their persons and offices until some powers force them out. The case of the erstwhile SGF, Babachir remains atypical.  One can now understand why Kemi's step is such remarkable and verily one that needs to be commended. But the truth is that, as easily obtained in the western world, taking an exit when the heat is on and there's suspicion here and there is but a natural thing. This is to say, even as much as we could appreci...

WTO: The Issue With Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala's Nomination

-
I've been keenly following the developments as regards nominations for the position of the Director General of the World Trade Organization, WTO, especially as its concerns the general ratification by the African regional body, AU, to field a consensus candidate. In doing that I've looked at the nomination of Fred Yunov Agah and the eventual substitution with Ngozi Okonjo Iweala (NOI) by Nigeria, together with the dissension by Egypt, a contender in the forthcoming WTO election and a top interested party in the choice of Africa Union consensus candidacy. I have looked at it critically from three widely separate angles of national patriotism, independent objectivity and in the light of regional sense of justice. At a point, I sought to be overwhelmed by the flying influence of one over the others- that of having to view at the stronger propensity in standing a robust change internationally to clinch this post by Nigeria, in the event of NOI staying as a nominee.  That advantage ...

EndPoliceBrutality: Time for National Reforms

-
  Nigerian youths finally have decided it's time they took the bull by the horns in giving direction to the future they desire. With the launch of the endsars movement which was focused as an onslaught against long tales of incidences of police brutality, the demand has serenaded to an emphatic demand for good governance, good economic programs and extensive national rebirth. The #EndSARS protest which commenced on the 7th of October within the major cities of Lagos and Abuja, was specifically meant to send a message to the government that the SARS (Special Anti-Robbery Squad) unit of the Nigeria police have shown to not be only irresponsible but wicked, having totally strayed from their responsibility to protect the people and maintain law and  order and has instead turned to be inhuman, barbaric and monsters against the same people they're meant to protect. They had at such in expressing their bulging anger of many years taken to the streets, having boldly as their immediate...
