Newsflash



I still remember some ridiculous newsflashes in 2014 along with their corresponding effects, till date, after they started like a ripple 

One NBA team owner, before being voted out, once freaked out because his loved one gets along with ‘certain black people’

After causing the death of a teenage cyclist by hitting him with her SUV from behind

The driver claimed that her victim and his two friends are ‘incompetent cyclists’ who caused her ‘great pain and suffering’ and sued the family for $1 million like she’s out of her mind

A boy stabbed a girl to death in Connecticut because he couldn’t take her to junior prom

Instead of causing that mess, couldn’t he just ask another girl to junior prom?

A 23 year old mother, from California, who stabbed her 7 months old baby to death like it’s an aside

Apparently, became so eager to meet him again that she attempted a suicide

A 42 year old teacher performed a ‘full contact’ lap dance on a middle school student in front of his Texas classmates

Isn’t she supposed to go home and perform that with her own man who may be older or at least one of her age mates?

Among several others that are too numerous to mention is the case of a 19 year old girl who claims she’s a thrill and serial killer who lures men to their death

God help this generation to stop seeing vices as being fashionable, especially the ones leading to people’s death

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO IMPROVE THIS GENERATION?

The Irony of the Resourceful Soap




The resourceful soap, in every situation, without being neglected and destroyed, will still cope

Similarly, when you’re doing the right things don’t be discouraged and lose hope 

See beyond what you face and figure out your assignment’s scope

Don’t get so stressed that you’ll end up being choked and hanged by the rope

Be honest with yourself and stop pretending to be more righteous than the whole world and every Catholic Pope

It’s very important to truly achieve your laudable goals

By doing this, you’ll be fulfilled and eventually open other people’s eyes while saving souls

Regardless of who or what they’re, don’t let people and situations thwart your laudable goals with their roles

It’s no time to start acting like couples who choose to elope

Trying to escape from the reality, in this context, can make you slither down the slope 

From the preceding lines, sometimes, life can be like the resourceful soap

It’s supposed to achieve its primary purpose which is to help wash things clean, and later on, gone

In other words, you’re supposed to make the world a better place with your peculiar gifts, after all said and done

ARE YOU MAKING THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE WITH YOUR PECULIAR GIFTS?

Catching a Glimpse of God's Stand in the Creation Story

I Thought About




I thought about what could make couples to feel blue

Hear me out, this could be some things that are just too cruel

To them in their own relationship

Coupled with some form of real wrecked ship

Oh Lord, how can we know true love’s worth?

I know sometimes, we all feel the way they feel too

At other times, we seem to believe this thing isn’t true

To be in that kind of misery because we don’t find it too funny

Oh Lord, how can we know true love’s worth?

So, we can truly think like this

I need you like a friend, I know, will stay ‘till very end

I trust you like my maker, I know, will always comprehend

I love you like the lover, I know, will never bend

It’s true, so, is my love for you

ARE WE PROMOTING TRUE LOVE AND HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS THE GLOBE WELL ENOUGH?

MAMA: Most Adorable Mother of All



When I think of the way I was born

When  I think of the place I came from

I say to myself, no one else on earth can do what you do

You held me when I was a toddler

You watched me as I grew older
                     
I show appreciation for your affection to me in a world that’s cool

I thank the Lord for you are my mother

Thanks be to God for you knew my father

It’s such a union that brings a loved one like me to a life worth living

With the story that is pleasing

Dear Mama and Papa, you are like no other 

DO YOU TRULY LOVE YOUR PARENTS?

The Toast To True Friends



Just when you think some people only want to mess your laudable goals and dreams up

You’ll realise that some others truly want to see you rise up

It seems a bit complex to comprehend
In this crazy and funny world, there’re still some people you can call a true friend

Try this exercise and raise the toast to each person who is your true friend

“Since you and I are true friends and cool with each other

Without allowing any negative and evil person, situation or challenge to put us asunder

Then our role model, perhaps, on friendship, should be God’s idea

Keeping it real, being there for each other and having a good sense of humour but not crazy like the movie character called Madea

Those who don’t matter are the people pretending to be true friends, since I already have you

Just do me a favour, don’t stop being real and true

This is for being you, cheers!

Let’s continue being true, keep it real in the best of ways and be loyal for years!”

SHALL WE ALL BEGIN TO OFTEN RECOGNISE AND CELEBRATE EVERY TRUE FRIEND?

Funny People In A Funny World



When It’s favourable, it’s funny how people believe what’s good for the goose is good for the gander

However, if it’s the other way round, it’s funny how they’ll struggle like Kung Fu Panda

It’s funny how people don’t practise what they preach

Little do they know that practising what you preach will earn you more respect and open the positive communication on a wider reach

It’s funny how people get confused in the name of religion

The lack of the appropriate knowledge, in this context, is still leading them astray in every region

It’s funny how citizens of the world now kill and get killed as the result of terrorism

From the etymology of that, terrorism couldn’t have grown if we all learn to live and let live as an altruism

It’s funny how politics is often played at the expense of insulting people’s intelligence

Politics should never be confused with the right ideology and democracy; doing so will lead to anarchy, oppression, manipulation and segregation working against the human essence

It’s funny how people think instead of battles, crisis and wars, they can have the true peace

The true peace can only be experienced and enjoyed when we practise and promote the true justice

It’s funny how people allow themselves to be manipulated into and out of a relationship

Getting in and out of any relationship for the wrong reason will eventually give you the experience of a wrecked ship

It’s funny how people don’t learn from, at least, their single mistake

Life is too short for you to be acting like an idiot; egocentric or not, a lot of things are at stake

It’s funny how businesses and organisations either boom or experience a shutdown

Successful and prosperous businesses and organisations have the right people at the right times and places along with well grounded visions, mission statements, goals, plans and strategies that take them to the top without being held down

CAN WE ALL PASS THIS MESSAGE ON TO THE WHOLE WORLD?

Sing Your Own Song


I’ll say if you want to make it on earth, be your true self and nobody else. Instead, some will do something else ‘till they get to a dead end. Again, if you bend when you ought to tend the things you were sent to achieve on earth, you’ll descend and be depressed in the end as you are led to a dead end. However, the good news is that you can make the difference by being true to your essence. In the end, you will see that it does make sense, as you “sing your own song”.

Basically, the truth should be told. You are not an accident. In fact, you have never been and you will never be. You are very special. In other words, there is a remarkable reason for your birth. You have goals to achieve for the benefit of humanity and yourself.

In view of this, “sing your own song” means “create your own beautiful and glorious destiny”. And for the love of God, please do not become a copycat of celebrities in the process. Do not misunderstand me. There is nothing wrong in appreciating celebrities. However, learning from their success and flaws is much more important.

How do I go about my life? If you are asking yourself this question, then know that everything along with everyone is always within your reach. That is why i’m pleading with you to always believe in yourself and relate with the right people at all times. I call these right people ‘TRUE DESTINY HELPERS’ because they are the ones who believe in you against all odds. You will keep meeting them at different points in life. They can be your family and friends. At other times, believe it or not, they come to you as strangers. Besides that, don’t ever ignore the ‘GOD FACTOR’ which inspires the ‘EXTRAORDINARY FACTOR’ in you!

ARE YOU READY TO SING YOUR OWN SONG?

Your Beauty Lifts Up My Soul



Every day is just the same, ‘till I saw a sight to claim

A lovely cure for all my pains, it has to be for gains

I was close to being insane, fantasizing all the same

Who has made her lovely shape?

My brain is recording than a tape

Could it be an apparition that feeds on the imagination of a lonely soul?

Either fact or fiction, I’ll live with the impression made on my soul

Now, let me say it like a gentle soul

Your beauty lifts up my soul

DON’T YOU THINK EVERY LOVELY WOMAN DESERVES TO BE INSPIRED BY THIS POEM AND MUCH MORE?

Pride In Types




You’ve heard that pride goes before a fall

It’s for real and not a cliche when times and seasons call

Over the years I’ve come to a conclusion

In this context, it relates to every situation

Pride comes in types

Knowing this helps you to plan how it dies or ripes

There’s something called positive pride

This can be seen as being principled since it helps you not to stoop low to do what’s contrary to morality and the recognition of right and wrong

Another type is negative pride

This is when you’re so conceited or self-important that it becomes, before a fall, your swan-song

It’s true that everyone is not perfect except the most high God

It’s the truth either you’re an atheist or a believer in the most high God

Sometimes, complemented with knowledge, wisdom and understanding, it’s okay to have a good measure of positive pride

On the other hand, it’s never okay to have negative pride

Being full of negative pride does bring about stumbling blocks that come strong and loud

All of creation is against it for crying out loud

No wonder, even the good book says the most high God resists the people who are, in the negative sense,  proud

This is because each time you’re being filled with negative pride, you remind the most high God of Lucifer

Taking note of this helps you not to suffer

ARE YOU FILLED WITH NEGATIVE PRIDE?


Party Animal


While enjoying a party, one of the guests who was about to enter the restroom seemingly sighted a person at the entrance and said this. “Oh, sorry, I didn’t mean to intrude. I’ll come back later on.”

Little did he know that it was his own reflection; he was way too drunk to tell the difference!

CAN YOU IMAGINE THAT?

They Thought

  
They thought planet earth was flat

Now we know it is round

They thought anything goes

Now we know what goes around comes around

They thought love is blind

Now we know that is a state of mind

They thought hell is for bad people

Now we know, sometimes, hell can be experienced by some good people

They thought only dead people can experience Heaven

Now we know the living, on earth, also deserve Haven and Heaven

They thought you are a nonentity

Now we know you are becoming the true celebrity

DO YOU STILL LOOK DOWN ON YOURSELF?

Our Romantic Reality



Let me formally introduce you to my world

Trust me baby, it’s a whole new world

I’ll be your refined Aladdin along with you as my lovely Jasmine

You’ve the heart of gold that’s worth more than mining

In the romantic mood, if you can read my mind, you’ll always call me naughty

Together, we prove that a loving couple can truly party

Sometimes, I just love watching you move around and take the lead in order to admire your grace and figure eight from behind

At other times, when you’re coming toward me, the picture is often far better than the ones on 3D, even when they’re on playback, pause, slow motion, fast forward and rewind

This relationship sums up our romantic reality

That’s why our romantic reality will keep being other couples’ fantasy

God bless the day I found you

My love for you remains true

DO YOU ALWAYS MAKE YOUR SWEETHEART FEEL THIS GREAT?


Peak


Know and take the right steps at every given time

It feels like reaching out to obtain the true goldmine

I’m daring to achieve what can only be imagined by a few

Every progressive movement reveals the new horizon and point of view

I’m earning the respect for which I’m long-overdue

Each upward next level is the breath of fresh air

Impossibility tries to tell me to quit, if I hear

Getting to the peak is the prize that beckons

The true hero is the one the whole world reckons

With the true success on my mind, i’m absolutely motivated

Anyone and anything trying shenanigans will be seen by me as being retarded

Conquering nature and all of creation, I stand tall above every hill and mountain like the God’s own truly undisputed champion

After all said and done, even God won’t find it funny if you try to be negative and mischievous with your attitude, action and opinion

ARE YOU MOTIVATED TO TRULY EXCEL?

Divorce: A Curse or A Course


There is a plague that seems to gradually affect the whole essence of human existence. No one can really tell when it was born. A silent but deadly threat it has become. Divorce is its name. The destruction of marriages is its primary aim.

 All over the world, courts of law, elders’ councils and family gatherings are never tired of entertaining divorce cases. Ironically, these same institutions, among others, also endorse the union of couples in every holy matrimony.

Why do we move from saying “I do” to “we are through”? To an extent, everyone is meant to be social. As we go about our daily endeavours, we meet and relate with people. At that juncture, we can choose some for dating until one makes it with us to the altar. Unfortunately, over a period of time, some couples may feel disappointed in their own choices.

Is that enough reason to quit? Of course, it is not! Although insincerity, infidelity, insecurity and incompatibility are mostly the reasons for divorce cases, one major feature can never be left out. Everyone needs to always improve his or her own personality.

In the final analysis, some of us believe that divorce is a taboo while others see it as a tool. Here is the ‘marital truth’. If you cannot be truthful and follow it through, do not say “I do”. Come to think of it, this cuts across all walks of life, too!

IS EVERY MARRIAGE SUPPOSED TO BE A LOVELY BLEND OR A MEANS TO AN END?

The Helping Hand


All around us is always, at least, someone in need. Some are courageous to ask for help, others may not. Why the need? The truth must be told. Everyone needs a thing or two at certain points in life. This is different from a mere craving or want. At the times when such needs are met, one’s life definitely moves forward in the appropriate directions. On the other hand, stagnation, frustration and retrogression become the case for needs that are not met.

Having that in mind, one cannot but wonder why people, sometimes, fail to help. We hear a lot of excuses like these. “I don’t have the money to help”. “I have a limited or no time”. “l lack the resources to help”. Those are just to mention few ones. However, by now, we all know that anyone can be helped by us. We can do it just like all the other good things that our minds are set to.

So, the next time you see someone in need, even if you may not have ‘anything’, put in good words, on their behalf, to as many persons as possible. This makes us the true humanitarians!

WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU TRULY HELPED SOMEONE IN NEED?

Innocent Eyes


They give the hope to move on like the rising sun that brightens our day. At night, their constant requests for bedtime stories are our ever present delight.

Nothing compares to this lovely sight. They are the innocent eyes of every child. However, as beautiful as being with them may sound, danger moves all around.

Before now, children were used to being told about the defeats of monsters by heroes in fictions. Nowadays, things have changed. Monsters have come alive, while heroes are scarce. Who or what are these monsters? The ones that readily come to mind are domestic violence, parental or guardian irresponsibility and child abuse.

Domestic violence comes in at points when parents and guardians begin to lose it. Whenever we experience rough days and heartbreaks, as parents and guardians, courtesy demands that we deal with them on our own and not bring such things home via transferred aggression.

Another side to domestic violence is parental conflicts. Rising from the background of financial and marital issues, sometimes, parents unleash wrath on one another without minding their children’s presence.

Parental or guardian irresponsibility brings up a different chapter. Each time you take alcoholic drinks, hard drugs or watch porn and have sex with a minor, so grows the list of irresponsible adults, parents, and guardians. Adults, beware and watch yourselves.

Taking things to the extreme is child abuse. Its official language is money. Its five deadly weapons are child trafficking, child prostitution, child labour, child soldiers and the deprivation of the quality way of life for children.

Child trafficking is a part of the modern day slavery. Its special skills are kidnappings and sales of our lovely children to any Tom, Dick, or Harry.

Child prostitution forces our dear children to work, against their will, as professional prostitutes, while child labour also makes them a forbidden work force.

In ancient times, adults who fought for their loved ones and possessions were laudable. Shamefully, 20th and 21st century wars unbelievably allowed the hiring of child soldiers as a norm. Regardless of the situation, watching kids carrying guns like the members of a battalion is unacceptable.

The fifth deadly weapon of child abuse takes us back to the basis. The deprivation of the quality way of life for our children is clear. It is simply our refusal to be responsible for providing their decent and affordable meals, clothing, homes, transportation and education. This is so important that the moment we solve it, every other thing will start flowing in the right places.

Let us all be the modern day heroes who will annihilate the monsters that threaten our future. The vision of all children are their innocent eyes. These innocent eyes are worth protecting!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN PROTECTING EVERY CHILD OR ONLY YOUR OWN?


Halt The Tide of Suicide


It was a cold Saturday morning. Everything is about to even become colder as four persons, from different parts of the world, will pass through another phase.

Vivian jumps off the top of a twelve storey building because she can’t bear the thought of losing her husband and kids to a fatal plane crash some months back.

Trisha, a world class publicist, stands in front of a high speed moving train, upon being dumped at the eleventh hour by her fiance. 

Makuena picks up a loaded gun and pulls the trigger on himself. The picture of his loved ones being casualties of their country’s civil war was too much to accept.

Lee simply gives up the ghost after drinking a poisonous substance because he lost everything to a global economic meltdown.

These characters have one thing in common. Each of them is a victim of suicide.

What is suicide? To simply define this, taking one’s life or putting it in danger is suicidal. People do it in different ways. They can jump off tall storey buildings and in front of moving trains or vehicles. Others can shoot themselves, hang with ropes and consume any deadly substance.

Those are some ways, among others, in which suicide can be committed. Why suicide? A deep sense of loss, sorrow and loneliness often make people to consider suicide.

Is suicide worth it? The answer is NO! It is never worth being considered.
You’re more important to humanity than you’ll ever know!

HAVE YOU EVER TRIED TO PREVENT SUICIDE?



Are You All Right?


On the way home, after a very busy working day

Imagine witnessing a silly car accident with something to say

An absent-minded driver just had an accident in the presence of passersby

The situation appeared so ridiculous that each witness wondered why

When he alighted, one of the passersby asked, “are you all right?”

To everyone’s surprise, he responds, “what do you think?…Am I supposed to be all right?”

HOW RIDICULOUS WAS THAT SCENARIO?

Jesus and His Twelve Homies


This is about the greatest hero to ever walk across the face of the earth. 

Recently, I heard about some people insinuating that Jesus Christ of Nazareth was gay because His twelve homies were all males! What the hell was that? 

Allow me to look at it from a different perspective for good. Check out some of His homies before they were eventually redeemed by Jesus Christ. Peter {the rock} was ridiculous. John {the beloved} was an overgrown baby. Thomas was as skeptical as hell. Matthew was a shrewd tax collector. Judas Iscariot, on his own part, was the greatest snitch that ever lived. Come on, if he can betray Jesus Christ, then the entire world stands no chance.

With all the issues these guys had to deal with, on their own, besides lots of miracle seekers always stalking them, there is no way they could have been humping one another.

Again, although Jesus Christ never got married, is that enough reason to assume He was gay? Such a thought is sick and uncalled for.

Lord have mercy!

ARE YOU STILL SLANDERING JESUS CHRIST?


The Troublesome Husband


One day, a troublesome husband comes to his senses and says to his spouse, “baby, from now onwards, I’ll always carry you along as my priority.”

Out of shock, his wife feels his pulse and says, “sweetie, are you feeling sick?…The only time you’re this nice to me is whenever you're under the weather.”

Are you always nice to your spouse?


Life Can Be Really Good


Life can be really good

If you know just what to do

It will never be a riddle leaving you stuck in the middle

Let us rock this party anyway

And lift our spirit every day

There’s no room for any mess, not to mention any stress

If you feel the same way here

Let me hear you say “oh yeah!”

Situations may seem like struggles every day

Then again, just realise you made it anyway

DO YOU FIND THE TIME TO CELEBRATE LIFE?

The Book of Your Life


Always be ready to discover your unique gifts by yourself

If you’re not, your case can be that of any other book waiting for prospective readers on the shelf

No matter how you look at it, you just have to be responsible for your life, destiny and yourself

Before you can tell others to be responsible for themselves and one another, do the same for yourself

This is not about always being selfish

It’s basically about you as the ‘proverbial budding fisherman’ now practising what he’s supposed to preach by learning how to fish

The vision of a better life by an individual inspires the one for his or her nation

If there’s a ‘real most high God’ out there, by teaming up, both of you become the true primary authors of the chapters of your life as it regards every situation

As the main character, make sure that your life is well scripted

Believe it as I say you’re indeed gifted

Don’t be labelled with a stereotypical name or title under any cover

The book of your life can no longer be judged by its cover

In this poem’s context, the book of your life is the metaphor for your destiny

ARE YOU PONDERING WHAT THE BOOK OF YOUR LIFE IS?

The Spendthrift's Drama


Upon noticing that her hubby seems tired of her bad habit, a spendthrift asked for a divorce.

At that juncture, her hubby said, “honey, for once, use your own money, and not mine, on frivolity. I’ll never spend anything to encourage the divorce because, deep inside, we truly love each other and our relationship is much more important”.

HAVE YOU RESOLVED THE PROBLEM OF FINANCIAL RECKLESSNESS IN YOUR RELATIONSHIP?


Some Ladies


Some ladies claim they want only the best and truly right man for them. However, when they meet him, “he’s just a friend”, they keep saying. Then they fall for the wrong ones and get their hearts broken. Save yourself from heartbreaks! - Dareyoyeledun
