TODAY I JUST WANT TO BE FREE

Today I just want to be free, free to be myself and free to be myself aloud. By this I mean in the presence of other people. I would like to be free to share my thoughts, to express my views and to love myself. I would like to be free to praise myself, my achievements and accomplishments. To raise hope and faith in my desire to succeed at tomorrow’s goals.


Today I want to be free to be in love, to love myself, to talk about things that matter to me, to be in sync with my true self, the one that believes in truth, in faith, in righteousness and in justice. I want to be free to see, to look around and see, not see how I used to see; through the eyes of other people, but see the way I want things to be seen, to see through my beliefs and my opinions founded on principles, justice and fairness. Today I want to be me ,I don’t want to pretend to be someone else, I don’t want to be who I am expected to be, I want to be free to be me.

Today I want to laugh, I want to laugh at all the things that I have heard, from various people, some ignorant, others not, I want to laugh at all the things that have happened to me, the past and now, all the things I’ve been through. I want to laugh in hope of my calling and my destination in life; I want to also laugh at the contrast between the two; my past and tomorrow.

Today I want to call, I want to call, out to different people, people who value the same things that I value too, people who are ready to defend these values, people who are not afraid of being themselves, people who look up to God, people who live in hope, who walk in truth and who are not afraid of doing so, people who know no fear, who believe in peace, people who know the rules, who fight to live and fight to finish, people who are born anew and born to win.

Today I want to be free, free to breathe, free from worries, free to think; today I want to be free, free to meet free people.

LOVE IS OVERRATED

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...

RAPE, ITS JUSTIFICATION AND VICTIM SHAMING

It's sad that this is a world where things are not perfect but isn't that why we have laws; to correct the ills in society? I read today on a blog about a filmmaker who said that "nonviolent rape" should be legalized and that the reason rapists were raping girls was because they were sexually frustrated and that girls should accept it and even prepare themselves for it by carrying condoms and cooperating with their rapists. In fact it is clear that civilization is beyond running water and having flushable toilets, a lot of minds are still in a dark place. Before you join the number of people condemning him, think of how you shame victims of rape by suggesting that somehow they did something to provoke the animal instinct in the rapist. The dust hasn't settled yet on the case of Busola Dakolo and Biodun Fatoyinbo where an Abuja high court struck out the case and called an abuse of court processes and said it was statue barred. They were irregularities as cited by ...

FREE LEAH SHARIBU!

My heart bleeds as I write this. I'm literally weeping as I pen this down but I know that there is hope. The existence of God tells me so. It's been over a year since this girl was abducted alongside her school mates but while others were freed, Leah Sharibu remains in custody for refusing to denounce her faith and convert forcefully to Islam, the religion of the dreaded boko haram sect. What bothers me is the silence of the Muslim community and powerful leaders across the world on this matter. What I don't understand is why people cannot call a spade a spade. Why cannot they come out to speak out against mindless religious radicalism , oppression and persecution of Christians all over the world? What efforts have been made to free Leah Sharibu and others like her still in captivity? How long will this continue?  I think it's a decision world leaders need to make on the benefits of Islam to mankind. Honestly speaking,  world over the only people guilty of terroism are...
