LAGOS CITY OF DREAMS.

Every day we wakeup
With so much expectations
Of what to expect from the day
At sound of the cock crow
The clocks starts ticking a new day.

Is born giving us a gift
To live again to chase our dream
In the city of dreams
Where dreams are concieve and birthed
Every seconds every hour here in
The city of dreams.

From the bustling horn
Of the vechles to the chanting
Of passers by with a beautiful
Scene from the city from
The city of dreams.

Where the brian never sleeps
Working from dust to dawn
Not deferring for an hour
We walk the field of work here in
The city of dreams.

Our heart has been preoccupied
With the dreams in our heart
We kept at it come hell hot water
Even in the coldness of deadness of the night
We never faulter we never give up.

FROM ORDINARY TO EXTRAORDINARY: STEPS TOWARD GREATNESS.

In humble roots
We plant our feet
With dreams unknown
Yet bittersweet
Step toward greatness.

The journey starts
With small strides made
Through daily tasks and dues repaid
Every footstep walks towards
Making footprints on the sand of time.

But in the heart
A fire burns bright
A call to rise to scale the height
Each lesson learned each fear we face
Transforms the soul we find our place.

From ordinary
We start the quest
With courage born
We give our best
We reach the finishline.

And step by step
We claim our fate
To extraordinary
We elevate
From ordinary to extraordinary.

About the article: This article illustrates the gradual but powerful transformation from being ordinary to extraordinary through dedication, resilience, and a journey of growth.

GREAT THINGS FROM SMALL PLACES.

The road not taken
The path not cleared
The tides keep flowing
Ocean current way up so high
Great things from small places.

It is possible to do
Great things from small place
It doesn't matter you start big
The size of your audience
Should not deters you from performing.

Because a dream born in a mold house today
Will be birthed in a mansion tomorrow
If only you keep at it
Work towards it
Brave up to brace up with challenges.

If you have to do
Great things from some place
You must stretch beyond limitation
Average shouldn't be what you settle for
From a local champion to an international champion.

Only if only
You're ready to take on the world
Don't see your locality as a limited factor
But see it as the starting point
Where great things are done from a small place.

WHEN YOU FINALLY MADE IT.

Life happens
And things are abound to happen
Just like shit too do happens
That is the irony of human existence
But everything is in phases and stages.

When life comes happening to you
And all is working fine and towards
The direction you want to go
Remember that there is someone
Working on his or her life just like you do.

But when life lucky smiles on you
And the yester years hardwork pays off
And things become so rosy for you
Look back don't forget the days of humble beginning

When you finally made it.

When there was nothing in your life
To offer life and the friends of days of small starting point
Are all still with you hanging around
Also working on their life
When you finally made it.

Don't discard your friends
And stat assuming a demy god
Before then cos now status has change
And life isn't on the same level
When you finally made it.

Don't forget the years of toiling
You were helped today
So you can lift up others and help them
For life to have meaning we must seek to be light for others
And when your light has finally blossom take it and light others.

EXHALE DEEPLY.

Live your life to the full
Don't live your life
Full of regret make the best
Use of every single seconds
Exhale deeply.

Never rob yourself
Of your happiness
Instead be in the moment
Never allow circumstances
To choose that for you but you be in charge.

Remember
Life can only give us
What we input into this life
Life goes on with or without
Never allow yourself to carry
The baggage of what is not into your life.

Exhale deeply
Life lived in the moment
Is what really counts
As each sunset passes
You look back and glean with joyfulness.

That you live and walk this path
Called life with fulfillment
Knowing fully that of a truth
Yes, that you live so take a deep thought and
Exhale deeply.

A TRAP CALLED NIGERIA.

I never belief that there is an individual
Who are bigger then nationality
This can be seen only and only in Nigeria
A country where those in office steals at will
Where the hope of the common man is stolen.
 
The men and women in black
Act as oppressor that oppress
The weaken whose got no defense fence
Covering around them as they walk around
On the streets of the same country called Nigeria.
 
The evil of our land
Are out there in the seat of power
Becoming judge in their own
As they have compromise justices
Beyond reduction there is no longer justice in the appeal court.
 
As they have been captured
In the trap called Nigeria
Justice must come only if we
Start taking our voice global
Is high time we take off our voice from locality.
 
And go to global platform
To speak up on ill-maltreatment
Of the ill manner act minted out
To the less privilege in our nation
Making this beloved country a trap for her citizens.
 
As many citizens has turn it to a prayer
That Nigeria will not happen to any of us
Imagine how do we get here?
That we that owns the home
Has now becoming strangers at home.
 
Oh the cry of the bloodshed on daily basis
Are crying out the oppress are sponsoring the oppressor
We live among the oppressor once they taste power
The colour of their mentality change
A trap called Nigeria.

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU ASK.

Life can turn at 3600
Sweet moment can turn into bitter moment
Certain event will come to test our stand
On certain of life when it comes living
Just be careful of what you ask of life.

Life happens
And this occurs every moment
Of life journey as we live our life
Here in this life many things abound
But in all be careful of what you ask.

The greatest asset
Anyone can acquire
Is not houses nor car and never wealth
But a peace of mind coupled with good health
‘cos when you have these two and God inclusive you have it all.

Be careful of what you ask of life
Life is like a game of card
You play it and it sweetens you
Other time you lose and that comes with bitter taste
The people you surround yourself

Will really go a long way
If you must have a fulfilled life
Especially the so called life partner
Can result to a slowing your journey
To achieving greatness and living out to your full purpose.

Be careful and watch it with all undivided attention
Because life happens and life is lived just only once
And that once make it matters shun all side distraction
Be focus as a cheetah racing off towards her prey
Be careful absolute carefulness of what you ask of life.

PATCHING LIES.

Our life

Our words
Our actions
Our motives
All boils down to our existence.

Our life
Becomes unsure
When begin to live with lies
That betides inform of comforting
Patching lies.

Our words
Are easy spotted with lies
That ties the knot and unites the dot
As our word is not on the bases of
What we say at every time.

 
Our action contradicts our words
As lies can be fashioned out
Of every action that we exhume
As our mouth move with the words of lies
Patching lies.

Our motives
The creates the greatest
Machinery upon which lies
Are begotted out of our sense of reasoning
It transcend down to all about patching lies up.

As lie has lost its existence
In all human endeavor
Chasing this and that
In the euphoria of achieving
Something out of life not minding.

 
If such are gotten
On the lips and subconsciousness of lies
We went head long to make sure
In all ways and means to
Patch up lies to sell it out there.

A NEW DAWN, A NEW PHASE.

Each day awaits dawn
Of a new phase in our life
Of what is about to happen
Is of a new things that is just began
A new dawn, a new phase.

A new dawn
Of breaking away from
The old status quo of getting things done
A new horizon of a greater force
That will birth new ideas into reality
A new dawn, a new phase.

For every dreams
That is a preparation
That precedes its birth into reality
You go the distance
All out against the wind.

You put an effort to make it work
From dawn to dust you race
Like a cheetah after its prey
You zoom in to see the clearer pictures
Of your destination ahead of you.

You never for once defer for an hour
As you never allow anything deters you
You are so focus on the chase of your dream
Determine to set the pace and make the marks
As new dawn arrives a new phase of life is about to begin.

As with you all is possible
Nothing like impossible is found
Like all that lies within you
Is the latent weapon that breaks forth into
A new dawn of you metaphors into a new phase.

WHEN THEY SEE US.

They saw a whole lot
What lies behind the eyes
Of a tongue cannot tell
Only of the past but they never
Knew the present neither see us coming.

When they look at us
Will stand and withstand
Their hate criticism
As we never allow it
Make us lose focus of our destination.

When they look at us
They tend to see
A no good for nothing fellow
But our perception of us
Make them lose track of monitoring us.

When they look at us
They see from their myopic lenses
Of what shouldn't be as they lost out
On our next move toward greatness
As greatness is entrusted to everyone.

When they look at us
Will saw nothing but the fellow
Who God has marvelously helped
Lofty high we attain during difficult times
We come out strong still standing up.

When they look at us
We were not who they see yesterday
As new height attains every second
Because they relegate us
To the background but never our destiny.

When they look at you
Don't let them see a failure
One who was hit on the fast lane of life
Just because such a one allows
The words of a mere mortal get at her.

A NEW TONGUE IN THE NEW YEAR

The past we have not be so good
And as our hope about the past was dashed
Smashed beyond unrepaired stage
As the hope of believing in a better tomorrow
Is gone with the wind of time

The storms comes crashing on us
So close it took all we’ve worked and toiled for
Leaving nothing to chance
As no stones was left untouched
The waves blowing so high to contain

No matter what has happen
And becloud our existence
Everything has come and left us
Worse then the way it meets with us
Inspite of it all lets emerge with great expectation

Because is a new day
Is a new stage let brave new world
You don’t put a new wine in an old bottle
Or else the new wine will break the old bottle
A new tongue in the New Year

You don’t use an old language in a new tongue
As the old year prepares to take a French leaf for life
Be rest assure to birth the incoming new year with faith and hope
Forget the past year with its occasion and events
A new tongue in the New Year

Brave new world…come with hope and faith
That the past year will be better off then this new year
Birth each new day with enthusiasm
Be strong to finish the year coming stronger
A new tongue in the new year

Watch your language
Guide your thoughts
Be awake in all your utterance before it comes out
Have a new look towards life
Be realistic and be real in all your dealings
Love more go with God throughout the year not religion

WHEN DEPRESSION COMES CALLING AT LIFE

Do the one you can
Make sure you work legitimately
To make it in live
Because this money will cost a lot
This is for that person out there

Who feels he is not doing well enough
To be rubbing shoulders with peers
But know this every one
Has its own time table
Never use someone time table

To compare the speed of your life
Life will happen several times
But make sure when life happens
You are still standing on your feet
So strong to whether the storms of life

Life is too short
Never let anyone drive you
To the point of getting depressed
Nor tired of living the life
You were created and made to live

Life happens on all sides
Sometimes on top of the mountain
Some other time deep down in the valley
And it seems in between deep blue sea
Life is never so short but make sure you live the best

In all you do
Find your happiness
There will be days
When there won’t be anything to eat
And you wonder from coast to coast

Starved, weak and liness comes
To play and your life is fading
Small by small you see your life
Fading out right in your eyes
When depress comes calling at life

Be sure you stand strong
Because the anchor definitely will hold
Inspite the storms of life
In the midst of all these
Remember life is short tomorrow is for those who stand so firm while today adversity calls on one

WHO OFF LIGHT?!

Many people have gone through life
Withered and tired of life
That we don't know
Where to go as light is turned off
From our life

Life begins
Flitting away like a candle in the wind
We have so much encumber
With this and that life becomes gloomy
Darkness takes over our space

Chasing shadow
On the round pig hole
But many of us our problem
Is ourselves a lot we are going through
Is the making of our hand

We've use our hand
To off the light upon ourselves
We lost it long ago when one careless act
Ruin our life journey sold out our birthright
All for the sake of one seconds life's enjoyment

Will scream who off light?
But when we looked at the switch
We found the one who off the light on us
It was no one but you
Yes is you are the one who off the light

CHANGING EDUCATION FOR THE FUTURE

Will need to invent a better way

With a good map-out plan
For the betterment of not just the now
But for the future of education
In our nation as a people
 
Will must not relent with arms folded
Watching our educational system
Goes down the drain amounting to ruin
Embarking on that journey
Of an inevitable quiet end.
 
And for this to happen
All hands and brains must be involved
All hands must be on the deck
To walk the work to emancipation
Of our educational system
 
Will must change the world
From the perspective they see education
To where will want education to stand in the future
And that future will create towards
Changing education for the future
 
What can be done differently?
From these yesteryears
Of how we’ve been doing it
Because a better future
Will must do things different
 
Beyond doing things differently
Will must also act different and see
It with the eyes of difference
To emancipate this change will seek
Then only then the change will come
 
Everyone needs to come seat
On this long conference table
To impact and bring it all to the front burner
Of decisive decisions not just only talk and talk
But words backed up with action
 
Going from implementing
To implementation to the last drop
Of the letter found in the agenda paper
Engrafted in ink and paper because is all about
Changing education for the future 

BEING CONFIDENT BECAUSE HE HIDES ME

Am confident today
Not based on how far have come
Nor how well the situation is today
Neither how swift I am
Nor about the knowledge I exhume
 
When I neither write nor speak
But am confident
Because He hides me
Under His winds
Carry me under His arms
 
Been with me through life's journey
My fortress and shelter in the time of storms
When the enemies come
Like a thousand seas of zillions of floods
He hides me
 
Being confident
Because He watches over me
He is my everlasting Father
The one who owns the whole earth
As He got the whole world in His hands
 
My fortress
Erujeje the awesome
Whose eyes are of fear
The one whose source never runs dry
The all-sufficient one 

HIT THE ROAD

Go the distance
Leave the comfort zone
Never look back
Cross the bridge and burn it
Hits the road

Never come back home
Walk the work
Take on the mile
Zoom off like a cheetah
Hit the road

Burn the bridge behind
Never come back home until
You make it out there on the road
Stay up early and late
To come to victory line

Hit the road
Be prepared it won’t be easy
Out there are full of speed bumps
Some we wear you out
Others will retard your journey

But make sure
When you come to face these times
In your journey of hitting the road
Your strength will be tested
Your perseverance and endurance will be tested

As you sojourn in tasting the taste of victory
Be ready well equipped because a lot of storms
Will come in face off with you
So get your heart strong like a made-up mind
That come hell hot water you will stand not bowling to defeat

Hit the road
And go make marks in the annual of history record
Be ready, prepare and focus on one certain goal
For you to reach the goal you need focus
Get up and get going time running out on you

THE CALL

It is not about the tribe
Neither is it a call for one man
But is about Nigeria for Nigerians
Is a nationalism clarion call
The call of rebirthing a nation

A nation that has forgotten
Who's suffering has reached the height
We are doing it for us not for one man
The country cannot continue to go down
This road for so long we need to chart a new course

Unifying voice of solidarity
We must bring all hands to the deck
Ready to soil our hands for our land
For the good of this great nation of ours
The call is coming today to make it a great nation again

You all need to know this
Will must shun the old ways
Appointing a leader into a leadership position
Because it is not about religion anymore or party
The call is for all

Away from slumber
Wake up and catch the fever
Of revolutionizing our mentality
Toward appointing a leader that will make it happen
Because we need to save the remains of this country.
The call...
