A piece For Revolution_2205

At first it didn’t make sense but it was worth the try, it sounded so dumb but it was worth considering, just like a dumb idea it sounded so stupid but there was no wrong in giving it a listening ear, even though it looked so boring and a form of disturbance to me, but I paid attention anyways, it told me it name and it caught the whole of me “REVOLUTION_2205” it called itself “what is this revolution all about i was forced to ask?” “FASHION” it said to me, I couldn’t talk I was just listening, the fashion in our mode of dressing in our world today has been poisoned and here am I standing as an “ANTIDOTE” what do you mean by poisoned fashion? And it said “INSANITY” has taken over; people dress half naked to display fashion, so how do you intend to counteract this insanity? What weapon do you have that can properly match this insanity I asked and it said to me “DECENCY”, with decency we can bring sanity back to fashion…….hmm!!! Decency does not mean you dress outdated. You can bring y...

HAPPINESS

What then is happiness? Isn’t happiness in its own respect a relative feeling.  For, I could be happy by something that makes you sad.  But there is one thing that brings general happiness.  Something that transcends culture, gender, different walks of life,  Its love! Love in its self is happiness.  I can’t call happiness love but I can sure call love happiness.  Don’t get it wrong and all, love hurts.  It hurts to love but the beautiful thing ‘bout love, the hurt from love us that even in its own way, its own painful way,  It brings happiness.  The joy of hurt.  Rather the joy in hurt. The joy, unexplainable joy gotten from hurt gotten by love. T rue, pure love.

LAUTECH AND ITS SUGGESTED SOLUTION

It saddens my heart each time I look back into the memory lane and digest on what used to be a great citadel of learning; LADOKE AKINTOLA UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY, popularly known as "LAUTECH". Especially, when one recollects how enviable this institution was among her peers back then. LAUTECH was a dream of those who aspired for the best higher education, especially those in technological or science related fields, because the institution could be liken to "Havard or Oxford " of Nigeria around the time if I'm not exaggerating. But Before I proceed, let me make a preamble in a glance on the history of "LAUTECH". This institution was among the pioneers universities of technology in the country, established in (1990) to be precised after series of deliberations led by the then Military governor of old Oyo state "Tunji Olurin". This institution got her name after the Late premier of Western region "LADOKE AKINTOLA". It was basicall...

THE MIGHT STONE

The mighty stone just stood before her, she looked around with deep bitterness Is this how am going to end my journey she said to herself, something inside of Her, was like what more can I do? Let me just seat and one day hopefully Someone would come roll the stone she didn’t even make attempt That shows you how feeble and weak her mindset is Then came a mighty above her head, just where she sat, It was blowing so hard, opposing the direction of this Cute little bird, she gave attention and watched closely This bird kept trying, struggling, and at last it found its way through The wind, it pace reduced, because the wind blew really hard but that in turn never stopped it Then she picked up courage from there, at first she only looked round she didn’t look under or above Now she tried to crawl under she couldn’t do it easily, little did she know that there were steps she could climb to go over the stone, trying to climb she discovered the steps and she smile...

I fly too many times a year I feel I could rent sky, but the journeys have always been the same, uhn..!!! but on this particular trip, something entirely different happened, I was seating close to the air tight sealed window, decided to join the economy part of the flight, tired of seating with those rich Nat’s in the business class, so lost in my thought then this angel appeared, I guess she was an angel because I have never seen anything as beautiful as she is even though in the scriptures its only a male angel that I have read about, she made me laugh and smile I was so happy my loneliness tale is over, I dipped my hands in my pocket  and I fetch out a case of a diamond ring although how it got there I have no idea, I proposed to her right away, immediately she said yes; I was brought back to life, the pilot tapped me “sir we are here already” he said damn I was in my private jet and all that was just a mere dream, how I wished all was true…….!!!!!

I thought I will see her , but when I gave up and was going back to my lodge, I forgot something at the department, so I went back. Suddenly, my friend said I should turn my back and see. When I turned, I saw my dream girl there. She was trying to fill her practical manual to go and submit before the time limit given to them. So I went and met her and said hello to her, sat down close to her and I asked her for her phone number again. And she willingly gave me the digit. I was not with my phone, so I collected my friend's phone and saved the number, I gave her mine also. I was very happy and was thinking am getting there. I collected the digit from my friend's phone, but unknown to me, I interchanged the number when I was copying it from friend's phone..         *...
