JAGUN JAGUN And THE CULTURE OF MISPLACED ACTIVISM

I hardly watch movies. But some how, I watched Jagun Jagun Movie. In the movie, while many are mesmerized with the custume, action and others, the only aspect that spoke to me is that part that I can simply describe misplaced activism.   So, what is misplaced activism? In jagun jagun training camp, one of the soldiers, gbotija protested against the small portion of food, given to them by the agemo lady. In his protest, he said the portion of food given to them was small, beyond the normal portion they are expected to get. He therefore sent message of protest to agemo.   When gbotija protest reached agemo, she was infuriated and instantly went to the camp, in search of the protester. While at the camp, Agemo asked for those who protested over the portion of food and gbotija confidently stepped forward, in the usual activist arrogance. He spoke about the small food, which couldn't satisfy the soldiers and he emphasize that he's not scared to say the truth.

TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME (The Folly of False Economy)

D o not let this hit you with a pulse of pessimism, as a matter of fact there's nothing as optimistic as believing you can make the best out of your today. To walk this road effectively, we must first come to understand THE FOLLY OF FALSE ECONOMY.  By not spending a small amount, devoting little time to things, we risk paying a much larger sum and lose our entire time to bed-watching and babysitting TOMORROW, such things we overlooked TODAY.  It is often said that; HE WHO REPAIRS NOT HIS GUTTER, WILL REPAIR THE WHOLE HOUSE. Decisions not made now, will be made at a higher cost later. In a bid to SECURE TOMORROW, we sometimes become Penny wise, and Pound foolish. It is the wrongest period in THIS AGE to be too concerned about tomorrow, especially when you have not lived today. TOMORROW MAY NEVER COME ! Little wonder the preacher says;  "Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil there

The INTELLIGENCE That Works

T here are three types/forms of intelligence, or perhaps, measure of intelligence, when viewed wholesomely. Intelligence Quotient (IQ) Emotional Quotient (EQ) Social Quotient (SQ) 1. Intelligence Quotient (IQ): this is the measure of your comprehension ability", solve maths; memorise things and recall subject matters. 2. Emotional Quotient (EQ): this is the measure of your ability to maintain peace with others; keep to time; be responsible; be honest; respect boundaries; be humble, genuine and considerate. 3. Social Quotient (SQ): this is the measure of your ability to build a network of friends and maintain it over a long period of time. People that have higher EQ and SQ tend to go farther in life than those with high IQ but low EQ and SQ. Most schools capitalize in improving IQ level while EQ and SQ are played down.  A man of high IQ can end up being employed by a man of high EQ and SQ even though he has an average IQ. Your EQ represents your character; your SQ represents you

Today Is Today, Not Yesterday

L ive like it's today,  It's not yesterday, It's Today that you're in, we left yesterday behind already! For how long would what worked yesterday determine what works today? For how much more would yesterday's laws govern today's people? For how long more would yesterday's judgment suit today's crime under today's atmosphere, committed by today's people, using today's technologies? Do you also get to think these things? Fact is, …for a little longer! Have you for a moment considered how fast things have changed/are changing? Have you consciously and meticulously studied how dynamic the world we live in is become, yet with very little deviation from what you've once learnt? A wise man once said; "The More Things Change, The More They Remain The Same". The preacher said; "Whatever has happened—that's what will happen again; whatever has occurred—that's what will occur again. There's nothing new under the sun."

THE JOURNEY OF CHOICE

L ife's both Vindictive & Rewarding at the same time, EVERYBODY's living with the consequences/rewards of their CHOICES, including those who did not actively make one (mind you, they passively did). Life pays back. …to this end, I'd say life is fair 'cos it never forgets to deal us our returns.  This view could steal from your bag-of-empathy, making you feel everyone deserves what they're going through. Yet it's true we are the architects of our fortune/misfortune by the power of choice.  The transferability of Fortune and Misfortune is real and must be considered in this discourse. A viable angle of study I must say, especially while noting that the consequences/rewards of choices made are also transferable; Father/Mother to child, Friend to Friend, Nation to people, Group to members, Members to group etc. John D Rockefeller, the renowned American businessman was born into a large family (not here to tell his biography) began to make critical choices at the

DePREsSiON !!!

How easily we slip into #depression. There are wounds that never show on the body that are deeper and more hurtful than anything that bleeds. The worst type of crying isn't the kind everyone could see, not a wailing on street corners, not a #WhatsApp status nor other #SocialMedia post.  No, the worst kind happens in your soul and no matter the numbers of folks around, it may not be noticed, and then you sleep down-down even further into depression, when what you need at those moments is a #distraction. A distraction may not solve the problem, but it takes you away, far away from a thinking that is handicapped, so handicapped it cannot solve your problem either, rather leaves you in a pitiable mental & physical state. Many would love to help you if they knew it, but.... Sometimes, IT'LL TAKE YOU TO DISTRACT YOURSELF. It's The Wordsmith.
