NIGERIANS DECIDE 2023: CAPABLE HANDS

The era of old faces
Same method old pattern
Same lines of debate
With just old brains and weak hands
Has come and gone
 
We are in the phase of a new things
As old things has flew off
Like the dream of the night
The dusk has embark on a French leaf
As incapable hands has change hands
 
We need capable hands
To lead us alright to the promise land
We have been longing for all these years
You cannot imagine an individual of 70, 60 and 90 years
To run for an office all in the name of ruling leadership
 
Capable hands
Who are ready to roll upon their sleeves
And get to work in dedicating all the nations resources
To meet the needs of the country making all the masses smile
Capable hands
 
Who are ready to work their hands to the bone
Whose heart beat for the people
Not a leader who’s got no heart for others
Not the one who we loot the nation’s treasure
For just a personal gain in bid to eat from nation’s cake

DISCOVERING YOUR TRUE WORTH

We’ve all seen the MasterCard
Commercials featuring two or three
Activities or items like a
European vacation or a catcher’s mitt
And the accompanying costs

The last scene emphasizes
The memories made on that vacation
Or the relationship created
When a father and son play catch
In the backyard something that
Has emotional value a single word
Then appears on the screen “Priceless”

Some things are of such
Immense value that no amount
Of money can purchase them
And no dollar amount
Can describe their worth

Whether you believe it or not
You are priceless
Your value extends far beyond
Silver and gold
Discovering your true worth

Too many of us put too great
Value on material things
We think that having
The right car, clothes or house
Means we’re worthwhile

The problem occur
When our identity gets wrapped
Up in those things
When we let them define who we are
Could it be that we are filling our lives

With things and seeking status
In the eyes of others to cover
Our own lack of self-worth
Maybe your self worth is high
Discovering your true worth
You have value simply because
You were born upon this earth
And if you’re smart you’ll be aware
Of and appreciate the enormous
Gifts you already have in your life

Now to the big questions
How much is your life worth to you?
Every breathe you take is priceless
Take a fresh look at who you are
And who you are created to be

How do you value who you are?
How do you value what you’ve accomplished?
How do you value being on this earth?
To care for others you must care for yourself
I suggest you do it sooner rather than later

YOU IN THE MIRROR

The world seeks for a change
We want to live in a world
Void of prejudice and hates
A corruption free world
Where no one is afraid of anyone

Unite with a stranger
Extend hands of fellowship
In a lovely association
From one person to the other
Irrespective of the colour or creed

If you want to make the world
A better place for you and everyone
Take a look at yourself
And be that which you want to see
You in the mirror

Be the star you want to see
That will shine in dark hours
Of our world lighting your little corners
Be a sight to the blame lead the way
You in the mirror

Carry the touch of kind gesture
From one point to another
Light your next neighbor candle
Light each one up to your level
Be the you, you want to see around

In darkest hour take off the fear
In needy times just give you’re all
In gloomy world offer a smile to that one
In discourage time be a motivator for someone
You in the mirror

With all these our world
Will be haven on earth
If done out of sincere heart and mind
With a good motive and conduct
You in the mirror

YOU CHASING YOUR DREAM

See this life is for those who dares 

Who refuse to take refuge with the society
Not been a slave to man nor money
But just taking one step at a time
As life comes each day chase your dream

Hustle your hustle…hype yourself
Make sure is legit to the core
Bring back the best of the best
Of all that you got inside of you
Don’t let anyone stair the ship of your life

Forget hate speeches
It will only break your bridge
To greatness bring in you not others
Leave no mark behind
But good legacies as you go in the chase

Around you are filled with great avenue
To make the venue your pursuit worth it
Be worthy of every task given to you
Remember Life will never happen twice but once
You chasing your dream

When friends don’t believe in you
When family walk away from you
When betrayer from your soulmate hits you
When the so called religious affiliation left you
Just hold on to your dream and chase it

But make sure you survive it all
Everyone got is own issue life is all about your packaging
Never complain about yours to anyone
Because everyone is filled with excuses
And always remember to chase your dream

Be realistic with yourself
Don’t forsake associations
Cause you cannot walk alone
But beware who you share your dream with
In you chasing your dream

STEP OUT OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE

Embracing change usually requires
That we step out of our comfort zone
And do things we’ve never tried before
Because nothing grows in the comfort zone
Is time to step out of your comfort zone

In becoming all you want to become
Irrespective of what has happen before
Or what is currently happening in that life of yours
Nothing happens in the comfort zone
Until you move that’s when things we move

Most of us tend to change
Only when the pain of remaining
The same becomes greater than
The pain of changing but in
A world and a business climate
Constant change that is simply not acceptable today

Doing things the same old way
Will get us nowhere
If we want to keep up
We must accept changes when they come
Is time to step out of your comfort zone

If we want to learn and grow
We must not just accept change
We must embrace it
And shove the fear of change aside
And step out in brave to embrace the change

ARE YOU A CHANGE RESISTER OR A CHANGE EMBRACER?

Opening up to opportunities
Isn’t always easy especially
When it involves change
For some people change is hard
To accept much less embrace

Yet we have been changing
Physically, emotionally and spiritually since birth
Our circumstances and surroundings
Change day by day
Even moment by moment

Think how boring life
Would be without change
It’s easy to embrace the changes
We plan for or expect to happen
In the natural course of events

But when change is unplanned
We get nervous
And when it is unexpected or negative
It’s often too much for us to take

We go numb or we wallow
In our misfortune maybe
We shut down completely
We become change resisters
Stubbornly holding on to the status quo
Even when it causes us pain

RUN!

There are something in your life 

That we make you run!
There are something 

That will happen in your life
That we make you pick up the pace
That will snap you 

Out of that state of slumberness

That something that will say to you
There no time to cry
Everybody got to pick up the pace
I cannot deal with people
Who cannot pick up the pace

Don’t be strolling with life
When you got history running with you
I need people who will pick up the pace
I do not allow the career of this world
To destroy your passion for life

You have to run after it
Success is intentional
I would rather aim for the star
And not hit it then not hit it at all
I would rather go after it and not get it
Then not going after it at all

I would rather try and failed
Then not tried it at all
I don’t want to live with an ideal
Of not knowing at all
All my life I would go for it 

Come hell I want my destiny

You go to run after your destiny
You cannot stroll after your destiny
You can’t walk after your destiny
You got to run 

Do not manhandle with your destiny
Run after your destiny

you got to run after your destiny 

Because success is not an accident
If you don’t want it get out of my way
Because there are some people
Who want to do something with their life
Who will run after their destiny taking it by force

IT TAKES COURAGE!

Your uniqueness is what separate
You from the pack but you have
Entertain fear for too long it takes courage to do that
Your life line is the joy that comes in the morning
It takes courage to do all that

You got to have the courage
But wait oh do you have the courage
The chase your dream in becoming
The total you in all areas of your life
It takes courage to follow our heart

To act outwardly to what you see inwardly
Do you have the courage?
Or will you die a dreamer
On the verged or on the edge of life
In the line of duty it takes courage to do that

It takes courage to be successful
It is far easier not to be successful
Misery will always have company
Success breeds contempt
If you don’t want to make waves be mediocre

Be normal and fit in to what society wants you to be
And if you’re more concern about people
Then God will neutralize everything he puts within you
Just fit in like everyone else dress like them, act like them
And walk like them then go where they go

It takes courage to be different
And to go where you never gone before
It takes courage to get you outside the box
It takes courage to win life’s battle
The world don’t talk about people who don’t win

Do you have the courage to stand there
While the storms keeps ranges and the people get to talk
And you stand not to turn around because you come thus far
Do you have the courage?


It takes courage to be exceptional
It takes courage to be wise
It takes courage to be rich
It takes courage to be entertainer
It takes courage to be knowledgeable
Because the moment you realize this all the better for you
It takes courage to be different in this TV reality world we live in today

It takes courage to say
After all have been through
And all my ancestors have been through
I don’t come to fit in to the long old status quo
It takes courage to go after my dream in life

MJ’s MAN IN THE MIRROR

I wonder what was on his mind

When he pen down the lyrics

I took my mind on a long distance journey

To discover what would have lead him to write

He took his time and write is mind of mind out

Then in the lyrics of the song

The answer for the quest of reason behind the song suffice

I saw what MJ saw so many things happens

Among the human race where he dwells

Lots of things needed to be change

And I see he wanted a whole lot of things

To be done and seek help needed

So he thought to lend a helping hand 

To make such a world a better place

By talking to the man in the mirror

This is him, himself

Because MJ knows for change to start

It begins with him first before he can reach out

To is outside world in attaining his desired goal

Of healing the world to make the world a better place for all

Of which MJ did

Heb gave the world the best

You can see this in his music

You can see this in his charity work

He brought many smile on so many face

The man in the mirror

Was him and he did all what did for change

You can be that man in the mirror

Bringing change in this space called earth

Man in the mirror

That man is you

If you seek the change you deserve here

Is in your hand

Is up to you to make the world a better place

Be that change you want to be…you are the man in the man in the mirror

TAKING TERRITORY

Conquest ensue Victoria

Confuse noise in the air

Captains giving order every now and then

Strategies been carved out

Taking territory

There is a gathering

A gathering of great being

Of an uncommon being

Ready to take on the world

And make the change impact fully

Everyone is out

There sounds of from the far away land

To revive the dead sleeping soul

In pursuit to bring emancipation

From the unusual things to the usual

Taking territory

Pulling down the old status quo

Carving new way of getting things done

Breaking jinx rewriting history

Leaving a worthy legacy

A foot print that cannot erase

Both for now and time to come

A legendary foot print left behind

For generation now and those to come

Taking territory

Take Stand

Each day we walk around

Through our cities and various places

We see so many injustice and unfair dealing

Among human as oppression takes over

No one want to stand to take stand and speak up

I see children crying

Some can’t go back home

Just all because sales were bad

And was unable to make sales

Saying the one that sent them out to hawk..

The rich and affluent oppression the poor

You see them in their mansion

Zooming off at 190 speed per kilo meter

Splashing dirty mod water on them

Why this? Take stand ….. reach out to their needs

Take stand….. stand for child

Take stand…… stand for truth

Take stand…… act right and say no

Take stand…….. stand for holiness and righteousness

Take stand for that woman and child

Whose got no one been voice to then

Price of Generosity

There is always a price to generosity

It takes all sorts of people to make the world

Life can be so funny often times

We meet people will tend to claim

And absorbed us into their own existence

Will become acquainted flowing into them

Been all through for them tend to be the nice being on planet

As the moment flipped off away reality dawn

The mask got off and we are left with the pain in the heart

It never worth

Someone will take you for granted

Play on you they call it fast game

Some will use and dump you

They call it common sense

And you are sick of it all

Then you go on along with the slogan

Is not good to be good

Because experience of dealing with people

Have be-withered you and left you dishearten experience

Price of generosity

As you stand and tend to watch

You watch from a distance

As you see them all

You come to the realisation

Does it worth at all, all this

Price of generosity

There is a price tag attach to everything in life

There is a price of greatness

Be generous no matter what

Yea...

Even when is not appreciated

Go on and still do it be generous

One day you reap the reward of generosity

Only if you are willing and ready to pay the

Price of generosity

Wind of Change

Wind, you don’t know where is coming

From or where it is going headed to

Change is to make something

Become different for good

Life is not fair but quitting or crying

Is not the solution remember weeping

May endure in the night but joy cometh in the morning

You may be in the most terrible situation in your life

Or in the midst of trouble when all hope is gone,

Problems upon problems be strong and take courage

What you are going through is not a new thing

Remember, Job Ruth and Jabez

Everyone in life has a problem;

It could be financial, spiritual and physical

Material, academics and psychological

The problem is not there to destroy you

But problem comes from two sources – God and devil

The problem that comes from God

Comes as a test so you will have testimony

While that of the devil comes for destruction of human life

But remember problems don’t leave us the way they find us

You are the one that will determine what the problem

Will do to you

Wind of change

Will make your end better

Than the beginning all you need to do

Is stop running around and hold onto God

In place of prayer, it is not your turn to change

Until you turn to god and things will only change for you

When you change for good if there will be change

You have to seek His kingdom and His righteousness

All other things will follow suits

Is time to let go totally

Sin, pretense playing religion and allow

The wind of change (God) to rule over

The affairs of your life

FOR THE NATION

Our nation is at that stage

In which if we continue to told our hand

Waiting for God knows who and when

Things we run out of hand amounting

There comes a time

When silent becomes a betrayer

When truth will vain out of existence

See we’ve got to wake up to that

National call for change a peaceful dialogue

To effect change from the past

We can’t just continue this way

We must come to that point

Where will decide our fate in all this

The nation is bad yes we know

But must we seat and watch

Every our hero’s past labour been in vain

We must stand to nation building

If you can speak to the stand and speak out

If you can write go the mile talk the paper and ink it

We must rise to save our nation
