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.

THE GAINS AND LOSSES OF THE ABSENCE OF MR PRESIDENT: BY UWAKWE ROLAND.

President Muhammadu Buhari has been absent from duty since the last few months on a purported medical checkup in London. Good a thing he legally transferred power to the Vice President who is now the acting President, this is unlike the imbroglio that played out during Yar’adua’s time when the National Assembly had to invoke the doctrine of necessity so as to effectively transfer power to then Vice President Goodluck Jonathan. The problem is that even as an acting President, Yemi Osinbanjo has limited powers to fully assume responsibility as the commander in chief, this is because most of the big government functionaries may still owe their loyalty to Mr President, couple with this, Buhari appointed people of his like minds who may not comfortably work with the acting President that will want to bring his knowledge of law and practice into governance. Hence the long absence of Mr President may eventually result to a slow down of democratic dividends. The above ...

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 ...

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...
