The Dark Sunshine

THE DARK SUNSHINE

The sun rises with a smile on the world signalling hope of a bright day ahead
To my people, it's the sign of the darkness aloom

Day by day, the sun sets overhead
Same sun covers us with shades all through
For my people, it's the night all day

The rage of fear cutting across the land
As every new day emerges
Most often followed by bloodletting

Oh! how inhumane the rampaging buffoons can be!
Spilling sacred waters of the innocent without caution
yet some remind us of the sunshine and it's bright light

In the brightness of the sun
Darkness still wins the challenge
So poor this is allowed to blossom

Oh, i long for the moon
Shone in the darkest of times
Bringing hope of glad times ahead

The wait for the moon continues
till the bones and flesh get dried and rotten
What an endless wait

The light seems dim, hopeless
But we will ever commit to the source of light behind the sun
To Him we ask, when will succour come?

I GET ANGRY WHEN I HEAR, MALA**A Sunday 25/11/2018, I led a team of young medical professionals on a 1-day medical outreach aimed at dealing a blow on Malaria, and helping the Isale-Eko community improve their health consciousness. Well, that's not a big deal na! Why should I even mention it? Sincerely, this is my 5th year of Organizing /Coordinating similar community outreaches. This one just finds it's way into that pain which i have long hidden from childhood as tears were gonna roll out of my eyelids, lids well suited for a strong man like this....Imagine! An aged woman in the community said in Yoruba, "Aisan Malaria lasan lasan", meaning "Ordinary Malaria disease"; well, no be lie na! At least many of us in Nigeria have Malaria and it does nothing to us na! Chai, that statement rang a bell of a Genius, called to dine with the earth just in his prime. Let me not bore you with the long story.... My mother, a proud mum of 3 boys..We used to call ...

Friends or Friendstumers? The business lenses

Intro.... Chai!, Bad English!, you think so right? Well, awakening to a new day with a host of experiences is the motivation behind the new Word (FRIENDSTUMERS). Don't bother checking the Oxford, Longman or any of your favorite, popular dictionaries as the response to your enquiry lie within you. It is a name coined to represent those friends who help your business grow. Caution If you do not have a business mindset, you may find the next lines offensive and boring. However, with a great conscience, you just might tag along with the message as you may find them useful too. Friends or Customers? We all have these many friends to whom we are connected. You put up a post of yourself partying or doing some great stuff and all the comments flowing in from left, right and centre on social media. That can be so fulfilling to be sincere. Such fulfillment that lasts for a few minutes or at most, a few days. Have you thought about reaching the pinnacle of your fulfillment t...

Youths Alive

At the 1st Ikorodu Division Youth Summit, I had the opportunity to speak my truth when permitted to give my 2cents on youth inclusiveness in governance & community development. "Youths can get involved as stakeholders in governance & community development in various ways asides contesting elective positions at general elections. Most of us urgently need to become active as voters, advocates, trainers, trainees, employers, employees and perfect role models for the younger generation. We need to use our internet space more productively. Let's abandon frivolities like fake news/hoax messages, pornography, internet fraud E.T.C for more productive activities that will better our lot as individuals and collectively as a Nation. We also need to position ourselves to ask vital questions from our elected officers in various capacities. Those, including the appointed ones MUST remain accountable to the people and display transparency as a core value in the running of the...
