When Women Rise: The Road That Leads Back Home

Fri, Oct 4, 2019

To be honest, I feel like a prodigal at the moment I sit at my desk to craft this piece, listening to my favorite Owl City. It's been longer than I hoped, but I guess that comes with moving to an entirely new country with a different culture, no friends and no family in sight. "Overwhelming" would not quite explain the feelings of the past two months. Giving up the "present" with my amazing colleagues in Ecobank, Nigeria to secure the "future" in the country of dreams & aspirations, America. I do apologize to everyone of you reading this at this time, and I want to make a solemn promise I would do everything to keep, "I would not stop pouring out my heart, because it's my heart that makes my work different." May we never lose our wonder !!

FLEET-FOOTED LOVE

Sat, Aug 3, 2019

It would be so improper to jump into this mushy piece without giving Ceasar his due. I apologize for ghosting on you, It was not intentional. I mean, how could it be? The most beautiful thing about me is my mind, and the only way you get to know what's going on there is when I craft articles. So, I sincerely beg your pardon. I wasn't just away for hot-boy summer, I started a very time-demanding job and also quit (For a great reason, which you would all know soon enough), I had the annoying mood swings also, so I had to crawl my way back to my happy place which is in your arms :)

Actions & Reactions{Part 2}

Mon, May 27, 2019

What in the world is more powerful than a story? A well told story, an acute string of cause and effects. Inflection points are after all only seen when looking in retrospect. We all had to wait till the season finale of the Game of Thrones to appreciate all of the occurrences in the life of Bran the Broken. If he never climbed the tower, Jamie would never have pushed him. On the other hand, if Jamie and Cersei had a normal sibling relationship, there wouldn't have been any reason to push Bran. If Hodor didn't have his back, I doubt he would have made it back to Winterfell. Bran's survival necessitated the death of the night king, after all he gave Arya the valyrian steel dagger. When Tyrion asked him if he would wear the crown if chosen, he made the most remarkable statement ever "Why do you think I came all this way?"

Actions & Reactions{Part 1}

It was the year 1686, Sir Isaac Newton had just presented his three laws of motion, these came 20 years after he developed his theories of gravitation. These three laws are stated as follows; (1) Every object in a state of uniform motion will remain in that state of motion unless an external force acts on it. (2) Force equals mass times acceleration. (3) For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. These laws are so effective with objects and machinery but could meet a Waterloo with human emotions getting in their way. I would try to build this article around these laws.

A NOT SO DELUDED CREATOR: Pleading the moral case of an eternal being.

Mon, Apr 15, 2019

It's been a while i published on here, I am so sorry, I had an exam to prepare for and trust your boy to do justice by God's grace. So quick question, first off, Do you believe there's a creator, like an overly intelligent being who created, sustains and supervises the activities in our world and the infinitely large multiverse ? Many scientists, just like Hugh Ross believe that there's no difference between pure science and the Faith. He believes that scientists are just discovering what God created and that's absolutely fine.

BOUNDARIES; Saving Women in Sports

Mon, Mar 11, 2019

The 8th of March commemorates the International Women's Day [IWD] for our Beautiful, Intelligent and Strong women. The hashtag for this year's event was the buzzing #BalanceforBetter, which has so much significance with respect to the kind of realities we are being faced with.

Black|White; A plea for gray

Tue, Feb 26, 2019

Colors, beautiful as they may be are so intricately complex that there are over 10 million of them, your computer screen can produce about 16.8 million colors. The ratio of unknown colors to hair strands would probably result in a very large improper fraction.

The Enemy Within

Sun, Jan 20, 2019

There is an ancient African proverb which says, "If there is no enemy within, the enemy outside can do us no harm". How much water would this hold today? Remember the slavers ? They were our common enemy once upon a time, and the only reason they could buy our ancestors was because of the greed living within the rulers of that dispensation. Those who decided to sell our people like sheep.

A little perspective could change our world.

Thu, Jan 3, 2019

A perspective is the most innocent right with which we have all been blessed. It is the cornerstone upon which our societal and moral laws have been carved. Our vista and choices are inextricably woven together being that, the choices we make in our everyday lives are as a result of how we see.
