Making A Real Difference.
…While Rome Burned (Rhetorics)
There is a saying that accompanies a story I read as a kid. "While Rome burned, Nero fiddled". Is that the best way to describe Nigeria and her leaders?
Rhethorics: Mr Ballot Box Snatcher, Where Are You Going To?
Mr Ballot Box Snatcher, what's up? You have been paid to go on another snatching spree, you have been instructed on which polling station to disturb, you have picked your accomplices, please tell me, is it worth it?
Rhethorics: How Much Is Your Dream Worth?
How much is a dream worth? How much should a future be sold for? Even Martin Luther King and his dream, how much was it worth?
Rhethorics: What Are Your Thoughts?
Has the thoughts that crosses your mind ever crossed your mind? Have you ever think about what you do think about? Do you know the power of your thoughts?
Why Do Men Cheat? – RHETORICS
Why do men cheat? Is it ever excusable or permissible? Can a man ever be faithful to his lady? Is love really cursed by monogamy? Would polygamy be the fix and make a man not cheat anymore?
How Much Is That Bouquet? – RHETORICS
Before I go crazy, will you kindly tell me again, how much is that bouquet of flowers you just threw to those girls? Will the girl that caught it kindly return my money or my flower, or does she really think she is the next to marry when she is still single to stupor right now?
What Is A Certificate? – Rhetorics
To get any other job, you need a certificate, but when you run for the highest political office in Nigeria, you can gladly tell your followers "Who WAEC done help?"
Did You Miss Me? – RHETORICS
Yes. I stayed long. Yes. I missed you. Yes I am back to never leave again. Yes. We are set for life. I need to know though, did you miss me? Did you wait for me? Or am I the new town fool?
Was Ambode Right? – RHETORICS
If the Lagos APC primary election was free and fair, did Governor Ambode stand a chance of winning or was it a lost battle before it even started?
When NYSC Go Expire? – RHETORICS
Can we still remember why the NYSC was founded? Can we objectively look back and say NYSC is past its sell-by date or totally unnecessary?
Will We Really Be Alright?
How often have you heard the phrase “We will be alright”, “All will be well“, “We’ll be fine” and other supposedly therapeutic words?Which country has more optimistic people who are watching their country’s fortunes go downhill but keep believing?Is our […]
Happy New Year? – RHETORICS
How new is the year still is to you? Are you still excited? Has the novelty worn off? Has the New Year become just another year to you again?
How Did We Get Here? – RHETORICS
How did we get here? When did the love ebb out? How quickly did the honeymoon end? How did we get so busy? How did the flame burn out?
RHETORICS – WHEN DO YOU STOP?
When are you allowed to stop? When would people agree you can stop? Whose permission do you need to stop? Is refusing to stop equal to people pleasing?
RHETORICS – WHAT KEEPS YOU GOING?
Through thick and thin, what keeps you going? When the tide is against you, how do you not give up?
RHETORICS – DO YOU NEED A HUG?
Do you know you can't give a hug without getting one back? Do you need a hug or do you need to start giving out hugs? What's your time over there? Hug o'clock.
RHETORICS – DO YOU KNOW?
Do you know the prize you get when you get successful? Do you know the price you have to pay to get successful? Is it worth it?
RHETORICS – CAN YOU KILL RATS?
Can you kill rats? Will you serve the biggest of national interest of all time? Will you help your nation, Nigeria the great, annihilate the rats overrunning the President's office?
RHETORICS – Mr President, How Was Your Trip?
Welcome back Sir, I hope you know we missed you? Mr President Sir, How Was Your Trip?
RHETORICS – MR PRESIDENT, HOW ARE YOU?
Mr President, how are you? Yes, I know you are fine, but what exactly is wrong? No, don't tell me nothing is wrong cos you have been M.I.A for a while too long now. Once again, how are you?Share with friends:

Frenemies - 2Baba × Waje (SONG Of The Day) Frenemies. We've all got them. Wish we didn't. Hope we don't. Pray to loose them, but we've got them still. Frenemies. They occupy that interlocking sector of friendship and enmity. Not accidentally, rather surreptitiously. They come around, pretending to be friends, trying to extract everything they can from you. They smile with you, laugh with you, hoping they'll eventually get to laugh at you. Judas to Jesus. Brutus to Caesar. Delilah to Samson. The annals of history is filled with stories of Frenemies. As much as we'll like to watch our -

To The One That Almost Was (Sincerely Yours) Love, they say is something you can't control, nor stop. Maybe I am the exception to that. I don't know when I started loving you, but I do know that I just could not stop loving you. But that was until I stopped. I miss you. I miss us. I miss our friendship. But I hate our friendship. Our friendship blinded me to the love I had for you. I believed it was normal. Whenever it seem to be getting intense, I brought it under control. We were both single, we were -

Gaslighting (Word For The Week) Gaslighting means to manipulate someone psychologically, making them question their own sanity, particularly by leading them to doubt their own experiences or perceptions of reality. Gaslight is a word I read on one of my recent reads, but it is something I have witnessed being done repeatedly. It is easy to assume we are all normal, but it is tricky recognizing the psychopaths amidst us. You have a friend or acquaintance. You are used to seeing them being "happy go lucky". You hardly meet them without a smile on their face. Their confidence is noticeable -

...While Rome Burned (Rhetorics) There is a saying that accompanies a story I read as a kid. "While Rome burned, Nero fiddled". Is that the best way to describe Nigeria and her leaders? From Boko Haram militants choosing where and when to attack without a bother about Governmental response, to armed herdsmen choosing the choicest farmland for their grazing needs knowing there will be no retributory nor punitive action, to armed bandits ceding a portion of the Kaduna Abuja highway to themselves, knowing the government of the day is not interested in as little as a show of force. Where -

Asa is the gift that keeps giving. She is one artist that can tackle serious issues in fun ways, keeping you hooked on every element of the song while ensuring you are fully entertained. Good Thing is a classic example of this. On Good Thing, the song in itself talks about refusing to be treated sub-humanly because of your flaws and insecurities. It encourages you to take charge of your life and demand the respect you deserve. Anyone who will constantly mention to you that they could do better than you, be with someone better than you or they are -

The Root Of Ruth (The Women I Love) This is the story of me and Ruth. Not Ruth Abokoku, but Ruth the class captain. I can't overstate this, MB is the most beautiful girl I have ever met, Ruth comes a close second. If MB is Dark and Lovely, then Ruth is Dark and Shining. Immediately the teaching assistant stepped out of the class, Ruth held my hand. Looking around, she dragged me to her seat and said "it seems you are the last student to register. I thought registration have even closed. There is no more vacant seat, so -

Starting Over - Macklemore and Ryan Lewis × Ben Birdwell (Song Of The Day) Addiction is a battle a lot of people are fighting. Getting clean is celebrated by many. Relapsing is often a setback that breaks many. Starting over. That is one step that many are unable to take. Looking around, drug addiction is a prevalent problem in my society. Honestly, it has never been this bad. What's worse? It seems no one has an idea when this phase of drug misuse, dependence and abuse creeped up on us. I've always known people who did all kinds of drugs, -

Stock Taking means to go through ones wares, finding out what you have surplus of, enough of and what is lacking. Stock taking is a practice adopted by traders to ensure they are never caught unaware by a demand for any item. Producers of goods also do the same for their raw materials. As stock taking will help them but new resources before they are totally finished and halt production. As we get into the 'ember months, which marks the beginning of the end of the year, it is time for you to begin stock taking of your life. Take
