What time is it?


It feels so good to be a kid, to play and dance in the rain, enthralled by the starry blue skies and wondered if ever the moon was ever keeping tabs on you. Our quest to find answers to the mysteries of creation that surrounds us knows no boundaries, our days of innocence soon to be out paced in some few years time.

Wikipedia defines time as the indefinite continued progress of existence and events that occur in apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, to the future. This definition strikes a cord in me and should in yours too. It drives to me a cautious approach to my every single decision making no matter how simple and significant it is. Whatever it is it carries in itself a consequence either favorable or unfavorable. A passage through history records events in time for our own consumption and considerations. Yet I wonder so often why history is always repeated. Could it be men have refused to learn?

The question of time begs an answer. An unprepared student in an exam hall often complains about the lack of time, a teen can't wait to be 18, an undergraduate can't wait to be a graduate. So much to do in time. Yet to all activities there is no end. Satisfaction seems to be a farce, there are more goals to reach out for, so much to accomplish within a short time. Life is lived in time and that consciousness is what fuels the rat race we see today.  Its what drives our fears, rivalry, unhealthy competition and loss of self esteem.

What time is it in the measure of your existence? Today is yesterday in its making and tomorrow is today in its arrival. Ignorance is not an excuse, A time passed by never reverts itself, it only gives you a benefit of planning what to do with it. You have been created to achieve a goal, a problem to solve, a man or a woman to love, a community to build, a trust to keep and an impact to make and perhaps a relationship to mend. We are all born with a gift to bless someone else.

 You were not just created to fill a space, there is an intention for your existence. Get a grip of yourself and rise up to the occasion. Forget your past failures, its gone with time. Forget about the broken relationships its swallowed in time. Look forward in time to a positive outcome. Its an offer while we still draw breath  because soon time is gonna come for everyone of us but before then take the chance.

Time has in its compartments a place for everything, failures and success, defeats and victories, a falling down and a rising up, but there is only one condition, it's ours to decide. Time asks: will you?

Iya Alakara

Iya Alakara (The Beans Cake Seller) We call her Iya Alakara (Beans cake seller) because her akara is the best, though she sells other fried foods. Akara is a popular delicacy eaten in Nigeria , it is made from grinding beans,  then mixed with various sauce ingredients and then shaped in the form of a ball before being fried in either a hot palm or vegetable oil. It is eaten with variety of other foods like fried yam, pap and even bread for a proper balance diet. Her spot cannot be mistaken, it is strategically located for commuters and passers-by to easily spot. Walking through my street about three nights ago, I thought hard on my next content for the blog.  Only a hot akara and pap would do at the moment; the thought of cooking would have been  a mission impossible. I have had enough for the day.  So here I was, readily seated right in front of her,  the little smoke emanating from the firewood was not enough to deter me from satisfyi...

What is your decision?

Arsene Wenger shock announcement to quit as manager of the Arsenal Football Club at the end of the 2017/2018 English Premier League season has left nothing but mixed feelings for me as an ardent supporter of the club. This is not part of the story but just pouring out my feelings for a man I have come to respect over the years irrespective of the clubs recent run of results and the fans demand for a change! These past two weeks, I decided to do something new, I decided to take a risk,  you see, sometimes you just have to close your eyes and make some certain decisions irrespective of  the challenges that may result from it. One truth I have come to agree with is challenges being a part of our every day life. Its constant! So either you make that decision or not, its ever present! The question is what decision do you have to make? What are the pros and the cons? You must note, no decision comes easy and a conclusion is not reached in one day. As for me, I struggled with ...
