Idealism vs. Realism From time immemorial, the battle between the Idealists and Realist existed. The bulk of the contentions and disagreement in the world today still take their roots from the unending battle of these two kinds of beings. Always at logger-heads with their views, don't blame either, it just the way they are. Families have been torn appart, friends parted ways, nations have splitted in to various countries, as the centre cannot old where these two sit atop the leadership of a particular place (especially at the same or near same time). It's always and forever will be a life of arguments and contention between these two, very rarely do they com to terms. I wish they learnt to be who they are, things could have been a lot more easier to mend, but unfortunately, they grew into what they were meant to be. As long as you couldn't stop their growth, you wouldn't be stopping their idealistic and realistic nature. In order for us to be able to differentiate b

...The WORlD obviously was made by words, and till today, its governed by same. I looked through all that marvels me in the creation story, only to find the recurring words; "Then He SAID...". There couldn't have been a world without a word. There couldn't have been a you, a me, if He hadn't spoken. With the power of words creation was made possible, With the power of words, life was called into existence and even more by it, lives today are manipulated, as it is nothing remains the same in the world of they that 'speak'. Little wonder status quo holds only in the world of the dumbs and numbs. Over here, the story is different, change is inevitable as long as words don't remain unspoken or unwritten. Words are strong Words take life, and give it all at the same time. . . ...The Almighty saw the essence, and he optimized it. Men became aware of its potency, hence they exploited it. Then it took The Almighty again to warn; "There's

...IF MY MOBILE PHONE/GADGET COULD SPEAK FOR ITSELF, WHAT WOULD IT BY NOW BE TELLING ME? A question for one, a question for all. With the advent of new technology the way of communication is also changed. In very early days of history, pigeons were used as means of communication. Later, written messages are sent through letters by post. As the time passed, telephone came into existence and today is the era of wireless communication which gives rise to mobile phones. Mobiles are the latest invention and common way to communicate now-a-days. Mobile phones are long range, portable and wireless electronic device of communication. A few years back, when mobile phones were not so common, the device was expensive and communication costs pretty good to the user. But in last a few years as the use of mobiles increased, their cost is decreased considerably and this factor helped a lot to make them available for common men. Mobile phones are now inexpensive, easy to use, and comfortable and e

Dear Esteemed blog readers, yours faithfully got dispossessed of his mobile phones and some other communication gadgets, and for this reason will need sometime to bounce back. Thanks for your loyalty thus far. I hope to be back in the shortest possible time.

HAPPY WORKERS DAY TO THE NIGERIAN WORKERS Today, I raise my cup, to the workers of the Federal Republic of Nigeria: Today I salute the Men, Women, young adults and even shamefully under-aged children, who work, claw and break sweat just to earn a decent wage and make a honest living Today, I duff my hat to those Generals up and about this nation (from Ketu to Kuru and from Ikeja to Lokoja) Men and women who have dedicate themselves to honest efforts and righteous ventures- those who have chosen to reap only that which was sown and to earn only what they are duly due Today, I choose to recognise their efforts, I choose to celebrate their doggedness and I am determined to raise high these special classes of people whose rewards until now have been nothing but scorn, shame and ill-repute To start with, Nigeria is unlike any nation of the world With natural resources that rivals many rich nations like American and human capital that is literarily unimaginable in depth and promise,

Looking back through the years, I took a trip down memory lane, way back to my days in elementary (primary) school. I remember the Head-teacher of my school often picked on pupils at random to step forward and lead the assembly prayers (Her usual practice). But what fascinated me back then was this; whenever any pupil was called out to pray, they all prayed one line in common. Here it goes; "O'Lord God, give us WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE and UNDERSTANDING" Being the young inquisitive boy that I was, never had peace with that line, as I always wondered why we had to ask for all three. As for me, as far as I understood then, they all meant one thing; "O'Lord Let Us Score 10/10". Obviously, this was one case of; "A Sincere Prayer By A Novice". Growing up into secondary school, I discovered the same line of prayer was also continually repeated there. It was then I took my inquisitiveness to another level; I decided to find out what all-3 meant. I had a

Etisalat Nigeria has hit back at MTN Nigeria, following the later's TV commercial "I Don Port" which featured ace comedian and Nollywood star "Saka" (Haffeez Ayetoro) in what many now dub as "The Best TVC ever made in Nigeria. This is sure to make a good laugh for the night. ETISALAT RESPONDS?!!! Unconfirmed reports have it that Etisalat is set to replace Saka ( Who went for an irresistable 20million offer from MTN) with Hakeem Kae-Kazim. Steve Babaeko the brain behind somn of Etisalat’s successful commercials, seems he has a plan to bring Nigerian-born Hollywood actor Hakeem Kae-Kazim. But in the meantime, what we've got is a picture (see image above) that has been circulating online as a supposed response from Etisalat to MTN, this move is yet another good counter attack, who wins at the end of the day?
