A New Age, A New Day, A New Horizon

"The older you get, the better you get, unless you are a banana." -Betty White

Life is a privilege manifested very well in the opportunity of the new dawn. Each day is a prove of the graciousness availed by the privilege of life, and so is a year, which by itself is a conglomeration of days.

Today, I'll talk about the beauty, the opportunities and the privileges of life. Yes, I feel like talking about them because of the life I see and have. Because today, by my birthing memorial, a new age is counted for me. It is in such that, to me, this topic is strategic, even as it is to everyone-in as much we live and appreciate what living opportunities that are in birthdays.

Life's beautiful, especially when the opportunities and privileges it affords are better and more appropriately appreciated. The gift of life is the cardinal privilege from the almighty and as far as consciously, the greatest gift of man. Life's the central focus of existence, it draws forth everything to man. Without it, nothing is and everything ceases.

The importance of life cannot be overemphasized, especially when we realize that all that man is, all that he's achieved, all for which he's praised and held in high esteem is nothing without life. Life is everything and everything revolves around it. All that man commits, all that he pursues are geared towards sustaining life, even as more importantly, all of them depends and find meaning only in life.

That is to say our waking up everyday and pursuing daily struggles, our fight over resources, our exploration of vast opportunities, our descent to over-ambitiousness and all sundry are consequent upon the availability of life and subsequently for the preservation/sustenance of same. In all, life is the definer and focus of existence.

As we wake up each day, as we add new age, we're very overtly presented with the freshness of life and the opportunities it affords us. We see the new horizons it opens forth, we appreciate its myriads of new possibilities, we feel its new excitements: to better self, touch lives and transform society. And we appreciate how very much indeed that life is a great privilege.

The call, therefore, is for us to appreciate the privilege of life made understandable by every new dawn and more obviously at each new age. As we recognize it, it behoves on us to catch in on the vastness it affords us to step into new horizons, discover hidden possibilities, extending borders and marking out new victories.

Indeed, the more conscious we are to grab the unraveling possibilities of every new lease of life, the more we appreciate what a beautiful privilege we've got in LIFE.

Permit me to take the privilege to wish myself "A more prosperous new age!"

Circa 2022: Time for a New Beginning

Did you buy that car, land or house you hoped to get in 2021? Did you acquire that visa, wife, job or contract you had dreamt to have in 2021? Did you loose that weight, gained that body, achieved that look or shape you set out to have at the beginning of the year 2021? For some others, there are endless list of plans they'd envisaged to achieve as the year 2021 begun. Did you achieve them? Kudos! If you did not achieve them, don't bother and don't get demoralized. Even as the year gave opportunity to grow, it was similarly and very visibly traumatic: the Covid-19 pandemic and its accompanied effects of recession, inflation and economic summersaults continued to have their biting effects on almost every sphere. It is quite understandable. Nonetheless, your being alive is enough assurance that you could achieve them in the new year, 2022; and you'd so do if you're willing to trust the process and try again. Clutch them along and move with them, but this time around a

Year End: The Crossroad of a New Year

-

The ending of a year brings a binary fusion of emotions: that of stocktaking and that of expectations. The year is ending, so it's essentially right to look back and take an appraisal of what the year ending has turned out for the individual. At the same time, the year rolling out, is obviously an indication that a new one is being launched, hence it'll also be right to make plans and designs of how the new year is to be approached. Credit: Shutterstock The year 2021 began with many of us clutching tightly our expectations and plans already and willing to execute them. Many of us made resolutions, be they financial, spiritual, personal- all geared towards making us better versions of ourselves and contributing effectively to our spheres of influence. Indeed, 2021 afforded us the rudimentary 365days to make do with the plans/aspirations we had in it; and it's within this period, as it winds down, that it becomes incumbent to check and analyse our victories, failures and near

KEMI ADEOSUN: Looking Beyond The 'Honourable' Resignation

-

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
