A SAD GENERATION WITH HAPPY PICTURES

Look around everywhere you go
From the street to the internet
Each turn we turn we see it all
From the pain of yesterday years, we carry along
We are a sad generation with happy pictures

As hope has become so dim
Blinding our eyes to see the reality
Of a better tomorrow that we cannot reach out to
We spend our early searching for happiness
And now in our old ages we have not found it yet

We carry on with the hope
Of when the dawn arrives
We finally meet with happiness
And our life we have a meaning
Not a sad face of a generation of broken dreams

Whose dreams have left the shelf
So long ago as we search for meaning
In the midst of an unhappy situation
We strive and feed the internet
With a happy picture

We hide it all from the public
And carry along on life’s lonely road
Outside we show off that all is well
But within there is a gap that separates us
From being happy to become happy

What a generation we find ourself
A sad generation with happy pictures
Whose know nothing about being in that state of happiness
To talkless of getting this close to being happy
As smiles take French leaf off the faces we carry about

Life has served us some delicacies on our plate
Is it from the pressure of the public
The untold hardship in the land
Not being able to live up to our dream in life
We are just there a sad generation with happy pictures

IF YOU DON WALKER FAR

Remember this
No matter how far
You don stay from home
I beg you make you come home
Because na house make sense die

If everybody don give up on you
Your own no go fit give you up
Even if them give up on you
 
Remember say
Papa God love no fit run out on you
Him love never dies talkless to give up
On you as you be Him pikin
Just come house as house make sense
 
If you don walker far
Remember to trace your walker back
To your papa house e dey wait
For the front of the door to welcome you
No matter how far you don

If you don walker far
 
God dey call you to come house
He still get matter for your matter
Him no go fit fanish you as you bi
Him pikin wey Him die for
Before you go lost abeg come house back.

EVERY DAY

Is a day to have a rethinking
About life and how it's going
Whether are we really living
Or merely existing chasing shadows
Every day
 
Is a new day to get ready for history
Because everyone born into this world
Has a date with history and that
We all must keep by all means
And in all time we must prepare
 
We must see that
We do everything to make
This date worth it
By preparing so hard
And working towards it
 
And we need to be dressed up
With courage and determination
As it takes courage to be successful
With a resoluteness of unbeatable determination
Every day
 
You must fight the fight of greatness
We fight with our fears
We fight with our insecurity
We fight with all we got
To stay alive as every day comes
 
There is a task
There is a challenge
There is height to reach
There is valley to dive deep into
There is a mountain to climb and conquer
 
Make sure in all you
To face each day with vigor
Like that of a lion
Like that of a cheetah
You must never defer for an hour everyday

NIGERIA LACKS HEROES TO INSPIRE YOUNG PEOPLE

Am not surprise when Chimamanda
Says that Nigeria as a country
Lacks heroes to inspire young people
Our nation is bedridden of people
Of integrity and of a good report
 
Before now we have heard
Leaders of so many questionable characters
As we watch them day after day
Administration after administration
How they are been probe on this and that
 
How can we the young look up to such individual
Whose lifestyle is questionable
Who lack the trait and quality of heroism in them
And we just move on and on like that
As the nation experiences a drought
 
We are starved of heroes
We are beginning to lose it
Our young people do not find
People to look up to anymore
Endangering good leadership in the country
 
As long as we continue
To go around the same circle
There is nowhere justice and peace
Will strive talkless of breathing
And accountability we die a natural death
 
Sending off transparency off
From the street of hope for
A better tomorrow for our nation
And its citizens but where is this
Betterment of tomorrow if our
 
A young person never sees any heroes
Within the sphere of the sovereignty
Of this great nation of ours
Where only is what is seen all around
There is a need for resurrection
 
We cannot avoid self-criticism
But criticize the government
We cannot hide our won institutional failure
While demanding transparency 

From the government

TO THE HOME WE'VE LOST

We've lost our home
We now wonder like a wondering child
Whose left the befitting mansion
For a abode of no man's land
In which nothing seems befitting enough
 
To be called a home
Scavenging in another man's land
In searching of plenty
While we left so many resources
Back at home
 
To the home we lost
A home where there is so much peace
Unity and love where justice is served
To the letter no matter the status involve
All must be answerable to the law
 
As no one is above the law
To the home we lost
Where everyone once has access
To judicial services free of hearing
To the home we lost
 
When so many untold hardship
And suffering is seen day after day
In the land that once has so much I'm abundance
We now become laughing stock to the world
As our leaders begs for pignut
 
To sustain a starving national economy
Yet day in day out our GDP
Keep going on retrogression
Many years has come and gone
Yet we never come to conquest
 
In winning the war against all
That troubles us as a nation
And still administration comes and go
We still remain in the same spot
How did we get to this place
 
Where did we miss it as a nation
Who curse us and what's the remedy
Where can we find its solution
To all this menace threaten our existence.

GO TELL OUR MOTHERS

That home is no longer home
That our land that once flow
In milk and honey now flows in blood
As we fight and kill each other
In the name of religion
 
Go tell our mothers
That we are no longer at ease
With one another as trust has left
The table of brotherhood
That we once seat to discuss and dine
 
Go tell our mothers
That our nation in which
Our father sweated and toiled for
Now boils in hot water
Everyone is seating on a time bomb
 
Go tell our mothers
That our children can no longer
Walk freely in their own fathers land
As fear of being kidnap and kill at will
Is never a new thing nor a crime
 
Go tell our mother
To call on their husband
That we are longer home in our home
As a lot of foreign and home stranger
Has made home unfit for peaceful habitation
 
Go tell our mothers
That motherland milk
That was so sweeten and nourish
Is now like a sour taste in our mouth
As her children dies of starvation
 
Go tell our mothers
To awaken the spirit of our father
To come embark on a mission
Of rescue our fatherland
Weep not child for tomorrow is here.

YOUR FACEBOOK, TWITTER, INSTAGRAM AND LINKEDIN WALL

Three questions to answer
Before diving into this write-up
What do people see when they come to your wall?
What kinds of content do serve your followers?
Is it just to have a lot of crowd?
 
What do people see
When they come to your wall
Do they see flits and zillions of selfies
That is just a kind of glorifying
A fake filter life on social media
 
Do you serve valuable contents?
Do your walls stink like a rotten tomato?
Do you have something to offer your enormous followers?
Do your content outlive you or just got likes and comments
Your Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram wall
 
Determines the kind of personality you are out there online
Determines your kind perception of life
And it runs down to the your orientation about life
Determines how of an inestimable asset you are
Your Facebook, twitter and Instagram wall
 
Is determine by so many things
From the content you post
Be it pictures, videos and write-up
You must make sure you dish out value
At all-time irrespective of the mood you are
 
You have to be intentional about it
Because you are a brand out there online
And your social media handles
Have to sell the brand you are trying to project
Out there online on your Facebook, twitter and Instagram wall
 
Get into what you can do effortlessly
While because you thrive well enough
In your strong environment and atmosphere
Never do follow, follow at all but decide
And stay on one certain course
 
Remember in all you do
Social media is the biggest place
To showcase your brand and services
Use it the space well which is your walls
Project the way people will see you 

And the same people will do business with you 

THE GREATEST NOBLE THING TO DO

We don’t know for sure
What makes someone a “good” person,
But what everyone will attest to
Is that a person who has been
Deemed to be “good”

Is one who makes others happy
Although every person in the world
Has a degree of selfishness in them
The people who are remembered
Even after they’re gone

Are those who took the time for others.
This hit close to home since people
Tend to forget what’s important in the world
If you want to leave a legacy
Then remember to make people happy
There’s nothing not noble about that.

BENCHMARK OF HAPPINESS

It’s the simple things
That show you just how
Wonderful life can be
There are those people
Who have just about everything

You can think of
But those same people can’t say
With certainty that they are happy in life
There are also the people who don’t
Have much of anything when it comes to material value,

But they possess the widest smiles of all
At some point, you need to evaluate
What you want from your own life
And what the benchmark for
Your own happiness is

Once you realize this
Then you’ll want your happiness
To remain ever-present
And been deeply appreciative for it
Own your own happiness.

EARNESTLY

Earnestly contend
For the faith, not unfaithfulness
For righteousness, not religion
For uprightness not falling always
For the real truth, not falsehood
Earnestly contend
 
For sincerity, not insincerity
For the Word of God, not the world's folly
For originality not for fake
For a passionate appeal against sin and self
Earnestly contend
 
For holiness, not impurity
For God's glory, not man's glory
For graceful living, not a graceless life
For self-conviction, not the world's compromise
Earnestly contend
 
For the faith, not fate
Which was given unto the saints
No fate based on the world’s possession
Standing for what Christ stand for at all time

Earnestly contend

THE FAITH

The faith of our Father
Not the faith of our pastor
The faith of God's own Son
Not the faith of our pastor's son
The faith

Of God's unfailing Word
Not of man's failing word
Of the faith stands for a lifetime
Not faith only here in this world
The faith

That stands and contends against sin
Not a faith that is bent to suit circumstances
Not faith twisted to be deceptive
The faith of a living God with a pure heart
Not faith in the love of dissimulation

The faith is base on long-suffering
Faith of the old ancient landmark
The faith that forebears one another
Faith in God's won redemptive work of grace
The faith

Faith that we take us home
To get to see our Maker
Not a faith that whose hope
Is just here in this world
The faith

Eternal faith is never an earthly fate
Not faith in pursuit of material earthly gains
But faith whose treasure is laid up in Heaven
Faith that stands no matter the pressure of men
Faith that overcomes the tempter's snares

WHEN THE DUSK IS SETTLED

Tell the one whose so sick and tired
Of living who has lost hope for survival
And has gone off from the street called hope
Who has looked forward too much
For that sound of victory and nothing seen

To the one who has left home
For a greener pasture
For a better life tomorrow when the future cone
And seek to stay in asylum till
His dawn meets with the dusk

Tell him who toiled
From dusk to dawn
That no matter how thick the darkness is
The dawn will come with a shout of joy
When the dusk is settled

You shall lift up the trophy of victory
And your chant of victory shall be heard
From a thousand miles to thousands feet's
Will come to grace your venue as you
Tell the world your success story

Tell the one who is almost
Throwing in the tower
That it is better to hit the iron
While it is hot, not cold
When the dusk is settled you shall smile again.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME, WHAT DO YOU SEE?

I see one
Who God's grace has helped thus far
I see the one
Who surmounts a lot of obstacles
To arrive where he is today
 
I see the one
Who no matter what happens still stands tall
I see the one
Who has come so far in the midst of troubles
I see the one who never gives up on his pursuit of greatness
 
Life is full of surprises
Life won't bring gold to your doorstep
The life you will give you zillions of reasons to give up
Life sometimes will be on top of the mountain
Life other times will be in the valley
 
I feel good today because
When I look back and see where I was coming
Not what I was but what I should be
That's how God's mercy saw me
Am grace exemplify
 
So when you look at me, what do you see?
To be the best, you must be able to handle the worst
Men will fail sure truth
They will say and write all manners of things about you
Don't let it break or mire you
So when you look at me what do you see?

A QUICK WORD FOR SOMEONE OUT THERE

You keep at it

From dawn to dusk
Don't get weary when you're not recognized
Don't slow down when you have not reached limelight
Talk less of standing before people that matter

Just keep at it
One day the sun will shine
One day that one mail that makes sense
Will arrive and weep away the years of
Toiling and hard work

A quick word for someone out there
Who is brightening the corner where he is
Who hasn't gotten the global stage to stand on
Who hasn't reached the peak of zenith in her career
Just keep on grinding the door of greatness soon be opened

If only and only
You did not shut the door of labour
Work you have to keep at it with right attitude
For one day the sun will shine and the birds will come to sing
Quick word for someone out there

Don't give up
Don't give in
Soon you will be offered a seat
To seat with men that matters
On the table of greatness if you faint not

CHRISTIANITY WITHOUT COMPROMISE

Our world is changing fast
And it’s moving on so fast
Like a sleep of the night
So this world is moving each day
The Christian faith is getting weaker
 
By the day as each moment
Flew by a lot is happening
The Christian in question
Is faced with so many challenges
That questions their deep-rooted faith in God
 
Modernity catches up with many
As many are beginning to slip away
From the road that leads to the cross
As the ancient landmark is taken off
Christianity without compromise
 
You need to stand for something
Or else you will fall big time for everything
For everything, I mean any winds
That comes blowing on your way
Compromise we need to stand firm
 
The signs of the time are everywhere
The wind of false doctrine is blowing so high
Many have lost conviction now giving yield
To compromise in the highest order
A lot of coldness in the bone of believers
 
People don’t pray no more
People don’t love no more
People don’t preach the salvation message anymore
People have lost commitment to the heavenly vision
Because they have lost their heart
 
The first conviction they heard
The first love which was once hot fervent
That such love is now cold because
The love of this world has eaten it and choke out
Christianity without compromise
 
Will all need to return back
To the father’s house
To be broken and remold
To redeem us back to God again
We will need revival to awaken 

The lost conviction that the compromise had eaten
