The ruins of Dystopia

The ruins of Dystopia haunt me!

My nightmares are but visions,
of streets paved with the craniums and femurs of heroes and villains,
laid side-by-side,
And rivers that overflow,
with a cocktail of blood and mud.

The ruins of Dystopia taunt me!

The deafening silence,
The occasional screams of pain and anguish that pierce the silent air,
The smoke that rises from the inferno.
All mockery of the faith I once had in humanity!

The ruins of Dystopia want me...

...to tell you of these visions,
the surreal sights and sounds,
the thick smell of spent gunpowder,
and the heavy taste of metal.

To tell you how just a little love and kindness,
will keep this a nightmare that never becomes reality.

The problem with being realistic

I spoke yesterday to a young boy, about 13years old by my calculation. He had a brilliant idea for a start-up and needed help building an app. His idea was so bold and had huge potential for success. I was awestruck by the fact that this boy dared to dream this big."This child is definitely going to be great someday", I thought. Then I thought some more. I used to be this guy, the young dreamer.

To be realistic, there are a lot of things that could’ve stopped me. I didn't have what it takes to pull this off. Even though I write some code, I'm not exactly a "world-class developer", and I would need some extra skills to run a start up. I could learn, but where was the time? How would I juggle drawing bending moment and shear force diagrams, and learning all the stuff I need to make this work? Th...

We need a president...

Our president is incompetent. I think it's time for us to stop tolerating his mediocrity. He has a lot of enemies, true. So did OBJ. We need to ask ourselves why the number one citizen [who is supposed to be the most informed individual in the country] is clueless about everything. He doesn't know the exact number of girls that were abducted, or their whereabouts, or if $20bn was stolen from the federation account. #AmericaWillKnow he says, implying that the US knows more about Nigeria than the Nigerian president. This raises a serious question - does the president even care? I'm not saying our president is a bad person. What i am saying is he seems unqualified. His apologetics have repeatedly used his "political enemies" as an excuse for his ham-fisted approach towards governance. Did he think he could be president without having enemies? Nigerian politics is tough and needs rugged decisiveness, there is no space for the conservative or subtle, it's a crush...
