Sunday Post

   Sometimes you are unsatisfied with your life, while many people are dreaming of living your life.
     A child on a farm sees a plane flying over his head and dreams of flying (I do that all the time). But a pilot in the plane sees the farm house and dream of returning home. That's life! enjoy yours.

     If wealth is the secret to happiness then the rich should be dancing on the streets but only poor kids do that. If power ensures security, then officials should walk unguarded.  But those who live simply, sleep soundly.
     If beauty and fame brings ideal relationships, then celebrities should have the best marriages. But those who live simply, walk humbly and love genuinely!  All good will come back to you!
                                                                 -Ben Carson

    It's a new week,  another opportunity to try again,  do it well and even better. Don't quit yet at whatever it is that defines your daily hustle. Keep doing good.  Help that man or woman. Help that child. Be kind to someone and most importantly, wear a smile.
      Have a blest week!
                                                                                    Love,
                                                                                               JOO

    You owe no one an apology for saying the truth, expressing your opinion on a particular issue. Screaming to the high heavens your displeasure. You owe no one an apology for being yourself.   Most times people try to make us feel bad about ourselves when we express US. They expect us to be fashioned in a sort of way;  speak this way and say these words; Sit this way and look that way. This should not be.      If anyone cross a boundary with you never be afraid to say it,  point it to them,  shout it, express your feelings and vexation. If it offends them, well!  Too bad... They will not forget easily where the boundary mark is. But one thing you must never do is apologize for who you are !      Whether you are a man,  or a woman wear your true colour like a crown.    Flaunt it to the world, let them know this is who you are and this is what you stand, forbid and abide by. In all my yea...

FRIDAY night

     So its Friday night again, my boys and I are going to hang out after work. Have a few drinks and chops, talk about sports, politics, government and yes... Girls, our girlfriends (who live with us) and wife.     Jimoh will open the floor with everyone laughing at how his girlfriend exploits him of every penny he makes even though it was obvious she earned more than him. And Kunle will complain about his wife who is in and out of town on 'supposed business trips' but come back with expensive clothes and jewelries charged to his account. Uche will simply laugh and brag about his Igbo women and how he would readily find me one should Atinuke misbehave. And yes, my Atinuke, blessed with both beauty and character, my friends tell me I am the luckiest of them all, with a woman like her, but the truth is not as it seems.     Of a truth Atinuke is blessed with beauty and character, but her lack of shame and respect for her body has always...

Weekend Post

     Is it me or have you also notice the rise in temperature of late? The heat is so excessive, it's much, in fact enormous. This makes me wonder, if we in the west are feeling this much heat what about those in the northern part of Nigeria; those in Taraba, Adamawa, Sokoto, (including my people in Niger) and the others.      Please endeavor to drink sufficient water, if possible always go around with a bottle of water in hand. Take less of carbonated drinks and more of water.     Keep you windows open for proper ventilation, periods like this usher in meningitis, chickenpox and the likes.     Use sunshade not necessarily for the sun but to prevent the sand debris the hot breeze blows from getting in to your eyes leading to some nasty irritations.     Avoid clothing that conduct heat.  Please box that leather jacket till December.  Wear more of cotton materials. Wear loose clothing. Leave...
