I am hope...

I am confusion
I reside in the mind of the 12yo muslim kid who was meters away from the mosque when it blew up
wondering if his Qu'ran contains the same text as the blood-thirsty terrorists'

I am courage
I have built an abode in the mind of the 27 year Iraqi Christian
who has has picked up arms, helping the government to keep what remains of his motherland

I am fear
I am the loud whisper in the head of the Mozambican
as he pauses and glances one last time at what used to be home
escaping xenophobia, fearing that his 'brother' might be his executioner.

I am crazy
I am the world
bearing all the chaos and uncertainty
the burden threatens to break me.

I am hope
I have overcome common sense
I envision a world without warring sects
each killing in the name of the almighty
a world where we won't be looking for useless excuses to kill each other.

...just 'Du' it: Jang and the Era of Nepotism

I have absolutely no intent to spend the words of this post talking about the 'Du Covenant' as it, to me, bears no credence. I will also not talk about the videos on the internet, showing an alleged initiation of Gov. Jang and his wife, nor will I talk about his apparent imposition of GNS as the PDP flag-bearer  in the state - these are tales for another day.

I remember vividly, though i was just about 15 then, how he so proudly flaunted his principle of integrity and contentment. He told the voters tales of how he had only one old house despite being governor in the military era that preceded our democracy. There was no doubt that this was an entirely selfless servant who represented service, morality and discipline. Or so we thought. The recent acts of nepotism carried out by the government is a testament of ...

Europe’s Migrant Crises and the Wolves in Sheep Clothing

The current leaders of Europe are the orchestrators of all its aching. For instance, Angela welcomed with wide arms, over 1million refuges from the Middle East. My very limited knowledge of world politics and countless evenings of perusing conspiracy theories have led me to conclude that this very controversial decision was led by one of two reasons – a vampiric lust for cheap labour which is innate in all capitalists or a grandiose sense of humanity powered by the desire to portray Germany as a leader in all and every respect. Well, I don’t need a soothsayer to tell me that she, alongside other European leaders who followed her lead are in shad’in (euphemism for “ deep shit ”). We're so unfortunate to have lived through the terror of the Paris attacks, the Brusells attacks (twice) and the uncertainty and tension that have now covered Europe like a cloud. I understand that one may wonder if there is in fact any evidence which proves these attacks were made possible by the...

Tribute to YS Dimka (Missing You by N.I. & Eyesreal)

Principals come and go, but only a handful of principals get studio-recorded tributes as powerful as this one. This is a song dedicated to Late YS Dimka, a man who most of his ex-students will agree is beyond reasonable doubt, one of the greatest principals in the country. This is a song that echoes the greatness of a man who dedicated most of his life to turning boys into great men.  RIP Mr. YS Dimka Download Missing You (tribute to YS Dimka) by N.I. & Eyesreal (dropbox) Download Missing You (tribute to YS DIMKA) by NI & Eyesreal [uptobox]
