I dare not scare

-
I live with fear, tears and cheer, because i dare not scare
My life is hard, dread and ecstatic, because i dare not shred
I look at the oppressor in the face, with all it might, power, weapon and resources and yet show that i am here prepared
I live my life in peace and amity without angst, tremor, awe or trepidation.
It is a decision i have made to tell my fear, go to hell.
When circumstances attempt to take me hostage and get me scared, i feel elated, delirious, euphoric, rapturous, rhapsodic, athrill and beatific, why because, every thing that makes me scared often brings me something blithe, chipper, chirpy,exultant, mirthful and perky.

This is why i often embrace my fear with all my hardihood, intrepidity, grit, bravura and spunk.

I am above my fear, i match it up to greatness,prodigiousness and amplitude.

Image
Of the 73 presidential candidates for 2019 race, three are neck and neck in social media engagements by Nigerians, new social media data have revealed. According to the data, distilled from Facebook in particular, in the last 72 Hours, the trio of Muhammadu Buhari of the All Progressives Congress, Abubakar Atiku of the Peoples Democratic Party and Gbenga Olawepo-Hashim of the People's Trust are in the frontline in that order. The data revealed a new development in the race as Olawepo-Hashim has surpassed other third force contenders to emerge the closest challenger to Buhari and Atiku. The other 70 candidates were far behind the three leading candidates especially on Facebook engagements where the bulk of Nigerians voters are known to be actively involved. Facebook was used for the rating as it represents a diversity of active voters across the occupational and professional lines. Facebook's geographical spread and acceptability also make it a good tool. While Buh...

Nigerians And Their 'My Enemies' Mentality

"MY ENEMIES ARE AT WORK" A former work-mate Jay was giving me the low-down about something that happened to him recently. A while back, he had attended an 'awesome' Halloween party, and had decided to go as a traditional masquerade. Ingenious right? Jay brought the mask back home after the party, and hung it as a decoration on his room wall. It was a really grotesque mask – just imagine the alien’s face in the movie Predator. I chided him for hanging up the mask in his room, as it stuck out like a sore thumb, spoiling the overall décor of the place. Fast forward, a month later, he pulled this really hot chick when he met at a wedding in Ph. They spoke on the phone for days, and then she promised to come visit him one Saturday. Jay got the place ready for the lass’s visit. He tried to make the pad ‘condusive’. He took out the sofa from the room, so that the girl would have to sit on the bed. He turned down the thermostat on his split unit AC so that the place wa...

WHY CHILDREN HATE SCHOOL IN NIGERIA  A social commentator with username ‘’smallpenis’’ on nairaland online forum have stated that,the level and standard of education is dropping in the country Day by Day,we can say this from the WAEC results of this year. Explaining why children hate school in Nigeria, he listed factors responsible for this situation. He wrote: Bad Teachers: if you compare the educational sector abroad to that of Nigeria,you will see that the teachers try to create an friendly environment,and make sure the children see them as friends they can trust,but here most teachers are only concerned about their paychecks. Poor Learning Aids: most of the schools across the country have little,poor or no learning aid. Learning aids are important for every child to learn well,infact it helps for easy remembrance during tests. Poor Learing Structures: all I can say is how do you expect a student to learn well when he is thinking about his achin...

5 Things Nigeria is Doing Better than America

-
These are 5 areas that Nigeria is clearly outdoing the US in. 1. Nigeria’s economy is growing five times faster than the US Most people don’t associate “West Africa” and “booming economy”, but despite the global downturn, the region is home to some growth rates that would make Ronald Reagan blush. Right near the top of that list is Nigeria, that with an average growth rate of 8.1%, are experiencing more growth than the US (a pitiful 1.5%), the UK, Canada, Australia, Japan and the entire European Union… combined. 2. Nigeria has stricter anti-piracy laws than the US You read that right. Despite the RIAA, the MPAA, bills like SOPA and PIPA and 40,000 theaters all reminding you before a film of your moral integrity in regards to stealing cars, Nigeria are clearly ahead of America in fighting piracy. Their recent no tolerance laws have reaped some serious results: 26 anti-piracy raids, 6 million pirated works (worth US$5 million) seized and 145 arrests. Also, whereas arrests made ...

Okonjo-Iweala Attacks Soludo, Says He Is Nigeria's Worst CBN Governor Ever

-
The Minister of Finance, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, on Wednesday took the former Central Bank of Nigeria, CBN, Chukwuma Soludo, to the cleaners over his criticism of President Goodluck Jonathan’s management of the country’s economy, saying his comments amounted to committing “intellectual hara-kiri”. The Minister, who spoke through her Special Adviser on Media, Paul Nwabuikwu, accused Mr. Soludo of single-handedly mismanaging the country’s banking sector between May 2004 and May 2009 and plunging the country into “an incredible accumulation of liabilities that will cost tax payers about N5.67 trillion”. Mrs. Okonjo-Iweala, apparently livid, described the former CBN governor as “an embittered loser in the Nigerian political space” who is “so derailed” to “commit intellectual harakiri by deliberately misquoting economic facts and maliciously turning statistics on their head to justify a hatchet job”. “Soludo has shamelessly pandered to so many past leaders that Nigerians are...
