..We had no choice of what colour or tribe we were born, neither did we over who our parents will be. Rich or poor, black or white, tall or short, fine or not so fine. But the "Bad Goodnews" is this; From that very day we were born, the journey of choices began, from thence EVERYTHING about life became a choice!. Now we're held responsible for our choices and what we make out of our lives. From the beginning of ages choices existed, the first man had the choice to continue to eat of other fruits and live, or have a bite of the fruit from the forbidden tree and die. The journey of choices starts from birth and ends at death. Breast milk indeed is food for the baby, but thus far in my short sojourn in life, i've seen babies choose to suck or not to suck. I've seen the old on their dying beds choose to bless or to curse. I've seen the youths, male and females choose to make greatness out of their lives and sadly for some craziness out of their lives. One major reason why we still live today is because we still have choices to make but yet to be made. Understanding dawned on me sometimes ago and I came to conclude that ; "MY LIFE IS A SUM OF MY CHOICES, A PRODUCT OF EVERYTHING I CHOSE OR CHOSE NOT TO DO". If you're reading this piece now, i tell you and you too know it that; Its a new day, and you've got Patent rights to make your choices. Indeed, YOU MAY NOT HAVE MADE GOOD CHOICES, BUT YOU SURE CAN MAKE GOOD THOSE CHOICES by making new ones TODAY. Akogun Olalekan(c)2011.

Who Becomes Aare Ona Kakanfo Of Yorubaland?

Several years after the demise of late M.K.O Abiola, the last Aare Ona Kakanfo of Yorubaland, the Alaafin of Oyo Oba Lamidi Adeyemi and his cabinet chiefs are searching for another man who is bold, revered and dignified enough to put on the armoured title. Deputy Editor Adewale Adeoye reports Who will be the next 'war general' of the Yoruba nation? This appears a topical issue among a large section of people of the SouthWest as it is among the Oyo Mesi, an age long traditional cabinet associated with the Yoruba and which primordial western scholars who visited the old Oyo Empire in time past, once equated with the British House of Lords. Faced by a sharp political divide, cultural and moral meltdown and a growing public disrespect for a largely isolated leadership, the appointment of another Aare Ona Kakanfo may heal wounds among the Yoruba people, a prominent traditional ruler in Ogun state who does not wish to be named told our correspondent penultimate week. He stated tha…

"SPEAK NOW OR FOREVER REMAIN SILENT" (The Wedding Day Conspiracy)

"If anyone here has any reason why these two should not be joined together, let him speak now or forever remain silent"
....The priest had barely concluded his words before we heard the doors yawned open paving the way for this tall, dark-skinned, fine looking young man, dressed in a nicely cut grey suit. The knocks of his shoe heels on the floor was all that was to be heard in the auditorium, as the whole place had gone dead silent on his appearance.
Startled by this scene, and confused by the thought of trying to reason out what exactly was going on, the priest could at best draw out his white handkerchief from the pocket of his robe as he wiped his face severally as if to say, every one wipe made him see better.
For all those minutes it took this man to make his way up the alter, I understood better the meaning of the medical term "SHOCK".
The bride, you mean what was happening to her? I fear we don't go there, she had gone past the stage of something hap…

Like many hoping to land that dream job, get a change of appointment, I hurriedly moved to my mail box to retrieve the mail, only to meet the most scandalous email I've received in years. You've never seen SCAM so perfectly put in your entire job-hunting life.
