W F Kumuyi: Champion of the Bible

Image
  "If that man teaches you and you don't understand, then nobody else can." colleagues of W F Kumuyi at the University of Lagos When we see great people, we have a sense of wonderment. This writing walks the reader through familiar terrain on the making of Pastor W F Kumuyi, the champion of the Bible.  W F Kumuyi's early years were intriguing, he was born into a very religious household and was the first-born of his father. He realized soon enough that he preferred playing to academic rigors.  His preference to play over work in the early years of his life meant he excelled in outdoor activities but performed poorly in academics, sometimes he left school during the day to play drums. His interest in the outdoors extended to farming; his father was a farmer.  On one of the exciting days at the farm, his fellow farm companions were pursuing a rabbit; he joined in the pursuit of the rabbit, as one of the boys lifted his cutlass to make the kill, it hit Kumuyi's leg i...

Reflections from my personal experience with SARS

Image
  Reflections from my personal experience with SARS.  After everything that has happened in the past month, I reflected a little and wish to share my thoughts.   I had an interesting encounter with the SARS officers, all agencies are usually created with the intention of doing a lot of good yet a lot of this good achieved revolves around the officers who go out into the field.  My experience goes thus,  When I was in my finals in schools, I stayed off-campus in a fenced house protected by barbed wires, the SARS officers came around to my area, on this particular morning they got interested in my place. A co-tenant was outside the gate, on sighting them she got scared by their brutish appearances(you sabi as SARS dey look na:the guns and all) and ran hastily inside, closing the gate behind her, the SARS officers saw her and concluded the house was a place of interest and decided to investigate. She hurriedly closed the gate behind her and shouted to us 'SARS...

The Davido-Wizkid Bromance

Image
  The Davido-Wizkid Bromance.  Greatness is attained after one has broken through adversities, adversities must be faced and conquered to have the taste of luxuriance associated with greatness.  I take a look into the celebrity duo of David Adeleke Davido and Ayo Balogun Wizkid, two Nigerian darlings who have inspired reverence, love, rivalry and bromance.  Who sings better? Who has more money? These arguments have always gone on and on.. Wizkid fans believe that the money was what helped push Davido into the limelight, how true is that? We'll also find out why Davido fans believe in his music.  These two are undeniably legends having gone through different experiences that strengthened their resolve as against diminishing it and catapulted themselves to the top of the game through relentless drive, vision and ambition.  How it all started?  Davido was born in 1992 into a wealthy home, the last of five children, material conveniences was not a problem....

  This life no balance! By the time person eyes dun open, the whole world dun enter third lap, dem con classify us as third world country.  This life no balance, Kylian Mbappe is just 20 years old and earns £ 1.2 Millions per month, that same age group to which I belong to in my kantry is still waiting for ASUU to call off strike so schools can reopen, the lucky ones dey manage £ 72 (10nk God for our tarty tiri K, iya Basira's amala has suffer).  This life no balance, some countries dun commot earth dey go moon, some dey live for the atmosphere sef, my country still dey struggle fill potholes for road.

This life no balance, leaders of dem other countries dey give aids to the tunes of billions of...

Life is good, and you are good too

Image
 Thoughts and Idea rule the physical world, the physical world runs on feelings. We think a lot of things as men but only when we have a full feeling behind it can whatever we think translate to reality : that's why love is such a great thing. The woman is happy to direct the totality of her feelings to an object (the thought) of the man and bam! You have whatever it is you want appear to you in reality.  Everything has its price, a lot of people love visibility, fame and being known, there's a big price behind that, one in which only the famous, visible and rich know.  Contentment is indeed a very nice virtue because it's actually when you get into a situation that you understand what is really involved, on the outside it looks fabulous but on the inside, you have to deal with whatever you see. I'm not a fan of the Nigerian tertiary educational system, unnecessarily too hard a life! But I remembered being the happiest person when I saw the admission letter, I got in an...

Do 'Black Lives Matter'?

Image
Do 'Black Lives Matter'?  Why are we having this discussion ?  An African-American Man, George Floyd died from medical complications induced by a policeman (may his soul RIP). This sparked tensions and has resulted in protests from the Black community, it caught my attention since I am a black myself tho' my black is still learning besides Kenyan belle Lupita Nyong'o.  I am a human being fortunate enough to be endowed with a black skin and I by skin tonation belong to the black nation worldwide.  So are white-skinned people superior to black-skinnned people?  The reason we appreciate the whites so much in our modern world is because of the excellent lifestyle they have adopted - glassy high-rise buildings, highly developed societies, top-notch facilities, luxurious collections,smart educational facilities. If there's a reality like an ideal world, it's embodied by them.  We are awed by the achievements of the white  - they are a modern...
