THE LOW POINTS OF GETTING 'HIGH'

Everybody abuses drugs here in Nigeria; we are our own doctors! A friend complains to his other friend that his head aches and the other friend who has no medical knowledge whatsoever starts prescribing for him, ''emmmm. . .take 2 paracetamol tablets,and emmm. . .vitamin . . .'' hahaha. I've been guilty of this a couple of times too, but recently I'm trying to change.

ROW, ROW, ROW YOUR BOAT

''Row, row, row your boat gently down the sea, merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily. . .'' hehehe. You guys remember that nursery rhyme right? Today on the International Observance is, the Day of the Seafarer recognized by the United Nations and the IMO (International Maritime Organization)

It is a day set aside to honour seamen; the captains and the ship crew, the navy and all those that put their lives on the line to transport goods/people by sea from country to country, continent to continent. And they do a lot to help our economy you know?

Music is the food for the soul, they say...and just like it is with real food, everybody got their own favourite!!! Well, I've got mine too, and since today is World Music Day, I've decided to let you guys know the Top 10 Songs on my Playlist for now. I'm saying for now because, it could change before the next World Music Day, someone can just record a new song tomorrow that'd sweep me off my feet (hahaha). But for now these are the songs that I listen to regularly because when they sing, I think, reflect, relax, singalong,etc.
Here's the Playlist of artistes I listen to;

REFUGEES? . . .OR TOURISTS

It came as a shock to me, when the UN news center recently revealed that ''about 6000 Nigerian Refugees are now in Niger Republic seeking refuge from the violence in their home state''. I just wonder, What violence exactly are they fleeing?
It even gets more hilarious, when you hear people say the State of Emergency Should be called off. Because of these 'refugees'. Personally I think it should not be called off until they have flushed out all and every potential BH suspect. I think it was very sluggish in the beginning, But since this is where we are, we can only work with the FG and ensure we take back our land. This should primarily be the work of indigenes who know the strangers in their midst.

THE POLITICAL CRISIS IN RIVERS STATE.

The lack of a true political ideology, political will and the baseless economic mindset of Political office holders and Elites alike continues to be the bane of Nigeria. The Nigeria National mindset of our turn to get a taste of power, and the habit of primitive accumulation, where collecting from the sovereign wealth of the nation mythically referred to as “national cake”, continues inhibit the holistic and sustainable development of Nigeria. The Political crisis within the PDP and the ACN, in Rivers State is a direct reflecti9on of this dearth of party ideology guiding the actions and inactions of members of the party. The inability, and or lack of internal party mechanisms in conflict resolutions within the Party between politicians comprising the respective party beg the question of true democracy in Nigeria. This inability of the PDP and ACN to adequately put into practice what can be seen merely as the theoretical ideology of the party upon which platform they are elected, into actual practice, contributes to the cause of the political crisis rocking Rivers State.

THE BLOOD, THE BANK AND THE BLOODBANK

I got a little bit under the weather early this week and I had to visit that place many people dread(apart from Prison that is). . .The Hospital!! Arrrgh! So many people wearing white, looking sad and the thick smell of tablets almost choking the life out of you (Lol). Even though most of the things that happen there are for our own good, It's an obvious sad truth that most of us may never outgrow our childhood resentment for hospitals 

BIG BASINS ON LITTLE HEADS

I see them everyday. 6 year olds who can barely cross the busy highway racing each other for a sell with big basins of satchette water, gala, or maybe bread. Boys and girls meant to be in school to be trained as 'change agents' in the society. Are left roaming the streets looking for change to give customers.
