The concept of “New Year” as pedestalized is optimistic to boost the mental health of the majority who needs encouragement. Even though it doesn’t mean a new cloud, sun or moon will materialize neither does it guarantee anything fresh asides the calendar design. #TwennyTwennyOne
It also doesn’t remotely suggest that it is something that has never happened before. The Bible clearly states that there is nothing new under the sun. I take it as a question bordering on personal responsibility as corroborated by the doctrine of “New Year Resolution.”
Which you will agree with me is the most abused and disrespected concept in the history of man. Same old patterns are often repeated over & over again. Same old rituals since human beings are creatures of habit. So let us all take this as a question. Will this year truly be New?
Will we allow our brains to be freed from its conditioning, toxic opinions, callous judgements and unjust conclusions and convictions? Can we start anew? This is the actual charge that is suggested when people wish you Happy New Year. They hope to see you do things differently.
Our lives can be shallow, superficial with very little meaning without purpose and education (indoctrination mostly) is also a hinderance. Can we recalculate our coordinates and change our trajectory for good beginning from this day or are we condemned forever to primitivism?
Every year and during festive season, I unblock everyone that must have transgressed against my handle, an act I have come to regret over the years with people set in their ways to pitch a tent at hating on people who they find different from them. This ritual is destructive.
Every year I record successes and the journey keeps getting better and I hope to share this with all without excluding anyone. Can we drop the prejudices, toxic perception and start anew with a clean slate? Can we have better engagements and learn from one another?
Remember when I mentioned the Pareto Distribution as regards more being given to those who have and more being taken from those who have not. The rich will forever get richer but can we at least elevate the hearts and mind of those poor in spirit even if they live in denial?
If you are not willing to change for better and renew your minds by taking personal responsibility then I’m sorry there is nothing new about the year for you. It’s the same old thing and nothing would change. But fir those willing to take risks & give peace a chance...Enjoy! 🎁

If you are conscious Distinguished you will realize that God is not stuck in a building or in the sky but lives in us all. God is a SPIRIT and those that worship Him must do so in Spirit and in Truth. God is not the author of confusion. He is a God of Order. #SafetyFirst
There’s a difference between Pastoring a church and leading a rebellion and the Distinguished rabbi, His Grace @sam_adeyemi is more than familiar with the leadership example of Christ than to play to the gallery to appease the mob at the expense of the safety of the collective.
We can cross over at anytime and it will coincide with at least one of the time zones as we fellowship with the saints as global citizens from the comfort of our homes. Dial down the spread of the pandemic & reduce the impact on our ailing health services. #StaySafe
In Dubai, club owners admit that they make more money from sales of liquor based on the Nigerian theme and music. Nigerian music has taken the world by storm. The only way to engage the cultural influence is not by conflict or beef but by raising the bar & do better. 🎶
It goes without saying that there are Nigerians all over the world being their best across sectors. We are the biggest country in the dark continent especially in population and economy. In the world today in every four black people you will find one Nigerian. We’re taking over.
This is why I don’t understand the pettiness amidst our talents fighting themselves when they are supposed to unite and take over the world with their collective impact. The world is feeling the heat but naturally Africans are known to fight their own brothers instead. #WakeUp
Nigeria can’t afford another lockdown. Economically it is suicidal especially without the capacity of Government to deliver the necessary shock absorber (palliatives) for citizens that depend on daily earnings from their respective toil. Businesses are dying also from stress.
But if there’s an evidence cum science based reason for this decision to be the only way forward, we must brace ourselves for impact & show responsibility as a collective. Govt certainly can’t do it alone. This will be a tough one. We must be our brother’s keeper going forward.
President @realDonaldTrump signed the stimulus bill upon the understanding of the concerns of American citizens despite his political differences with Dems pushing for same. Nigeria is in debts & even if huge sums are signed, there’s a high possibility that it will be stolen.
One thing is certain...you can’t intimidate the truth & neither can you wish it away. Lies pushed with the vilest of hate still can’t prevent the truth from appearing. The desperation of the socially maladjusted is obvious just for the lust for fame & fortune. #EndHypocrisy
There are also those who seek to legitimize the evil/bloodletting by building a business around it under the guise of running an NGO. They sponsor media events, awards & even grandstand by promoting evil, despite failing serially to establish themselves as a force for years.
These are the ones seeking to re-write history by attempting to sell the #EndSARS#ReformPoliceNG as a Protest. They want the world to believe it started months ago. They want to own it & weaponize it against the state at the expense of the vulnerable in society & our democracy!
When you allow yourself to be railroaded and forced into silence for having an opinion by the mob it simply shows you are yet to reinforce your self respect and build your strength of character. You don’t know yourself yet without the capability of embracing your own monstrosity.
Those who are unable to be cruel will always be an absolute victim of those cloaking their inadequacies with aggression. You will never respect yourself until you’ve grown teeth. This is why we love to watch movies telling stories from the perspective of the villain.
It is also the reason why people enjoy watching or following up on Twitter bouts, rants and battles. This helps us relate to our own dark side by feeding its desires. This shouldn’t be misconstrued with the promotion of violence or belligerence but identification of the self.
Interesting perspective. I would have loved to discuss this but it’ll become yet another thesis. I believe if we are a Fish, Religion is like living in a fish bowl as against a life of purpose in the vast oceans of an intrinsic relationship with God in freedom. Religion shackles.
Figuratively, anything can become a religion for creatures of habit. Godliness is intrinsic, what works for you may not work for me. My experience of God may not be same as yours. God may manifest Himself to you as your provider in times of need & to me as my deliverer in crisis.
For me to force you to see God only as a Deliverer is to rob you of your experience of Him as your Provider or force you into a fish bowl in terms of deprivation from the multi-chromatic experience of the GOD head. God reveals himself to us based on the level of our exposure.
