Evil wants Good to prevail

It is paradoxical, placing evil and good on the same page of life book. But, it can be as much interesting, experiencing an event that hasn't happened ever since the creation  of mankind, hence; Evil wants good to prevail. This same way we have some blessings disguised as evil, do we also have some evils disguised as good. For the good that causes evil is tantamount to evil while the evil that causes good is equal to good. All things being unchanged. I had read a fascinating story about the Persian poet, Rumi que Mo'avia, the first of the Omniad caliphs and Lucifer in the book entitled Like the Flowing River by Paolo Coelho. Below is the extracts from Like the Flowing River  which we can learn from. One day, the Persian poet Rumi que Mo'avia, the first of the Omniad caliphs, was sleeping in his palace when he was woken up by a strange man. 'Who are you?' he asked. 'I am Lucifer,' came the reply. 'And what do you want?' 'It is the hour ...

Interaction with the audience.

Do we have to back off from what is right because it is hard? Do we have to deviate from our heart desire because it appears infeasible. What  do we need to do when we are in the state of confusion. I need to recollect how we are raised. Oh! I can only recall how I was raised. Why should we believe others definition about us? For the positive ones, we can work on them and for the otherwise, we shall ignore them. Life isn't about what you do the same. It's about what you do differently. Do you believe that challenging the status quo would make a world a better place? Or perhaps, living by the rules is what will make do? You can drop your opinions. Thanks. 

Race is not biology

Image
The class struggle between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat is a politics beyond natural affiliations only. It goes beyond a mere racial challenges between the upper class and the lower class. However, it is a struggle that cannot be changed even if we have an angelic intervention. As humans, wherever we belong to is our identity which tell people more about us than words. If you are a black, beyond what you posses as quality, your colour will be the first indicator of where you belong. It is an obvious fact that cannot be shielded with any veil. Instead of us to concentrate more on the biodiversity among the elements in the world, we were struck in the air of arrogance and selfishness - discriminating people by creating segregation through language, dressing, food and belief, ignoring that the universe has its own language. Life is becoming less vivacious the more we subject our attitude to favour some group of people and disobliged others. If truly we want the world to be...

The torture

In the silence of your pain Was an echo of travails. So bright and loud Making your emotion beclouded Beneath your posture of calm Lies a furnace of clime You're a victim of love An innocent in the dungeon of torture In the pool of your tears Where you swim in fears. Your body thaw into vapor And you were swept away from yourself. The pain cooked by lies Was delectably served with spice. I watched you take every stroke Of cane that wouldn't be revoked And why were you tortured? So blank, you couldn't measure The reason why pain had chosen you Making your skin the page of sorrow. Your fate isn't natural Even love can be irrational. You'd followed the route of salvation  Your stubborn hope could you redemption  For the beauty of race Which you'd ran with little pace. Your life's hook in a crevice Of two walls in your dream edifice. You're the remain of ancestral pain Where color suffice you hunger Your name's littl...

Africa

Our Africa The home of rubies Where everyone would wish to lobby. We are the conquerors Because we survived our stained past. All the chains adorned on our ancestor Had been turned jewelry of honour. Beneath our Stygian complexion Lies uncanny qualities and perfection. We are the soldiers of light With our crest from a victorious fight. In our diversity Buttoned multi diversity Myriads ethnicity Yet we are still a singular city Is our history not one? The cracks of whip and hunger. And now that we're achiever Time had favored us. From the mountains in west To the rivers in the east We'd see the footsteps of our fathers Towards freedom and existence Through the south and north We'd stand to correct our past faults We're the remnants of the conquered greatness Exploited by intruders. Our land is enriched and blessed Fertile and hidden beneath gold We are Africans We are the soldiers of light Oh my Africa!  The outcome of strength and per...

Politics

A game without scrupulous agenda Where the truth is hidden beneath propaganda An avenue of power tussle Where hands meet in the pot soup An abyss of moral peak Through which our economy leaks It only favors the beasts While the masses income decrease Employment is now a platitude Insecurity topple in multitude Youths mortality becomes a certitude And our money is spent on barbecue Education suffers leprosy Less rationality, more lunacy The youths clamoring for change Their future captured in a cage In the echelon of cruelty Politics ranks high in popularity The facade of multidimensional issues And, background of societal evils Olawale Abdulsalam ©2018

A sacred beauty Maiden of unique quality.. The ocean of wonder Magically drowning men into a blunder Tenderly innocent She's awesomely magnificent Within her closed lips Enclosed resonant quips Oh the goddess of love Calmly looking hot Her cheek, soft like butter Her smile makes frown creatively murdered In her angelic voice Lies a command with poise.. She's a perfect distraction A route of absolute satisfaction. The wave of soothing ambiance That casts boredom into abeyance.. In her soft language of love credence outrightly billows Elegant beyond the northern walls Her smile is my clarion call.. Oh! my beloved sister, A classic rose in the summer. Olawale Abdulsalam

Acrimony

Image
In the battle of life Contains love and rage. Story of a morning generous,  And disaster on the boat of reality. A future in the wall picture.  Buttressed by untainted love. Patience beyond decades,  Experience adventurous than arcades. The messiah and killer, Beautifully skilled with anger. In the twinkle of an eyes, Her glory changed into a gory. The player of fate,  Destiny practically makes 'em late. A cheat became truth. A reality of multiple fruits. Broken and Bewailed. Like shards of mirror. In the beginning of her end, She's broken beyond repair. Olawale Abdulsalam

MLK

To the best history could give us, Martin Luther King Jnr. One of the greatest speaker human race had experienced. It was 50years yesterday, and his memory still lives on. We celebrate even after your death. Rest well.

perfect picture In your silent appearance Where your beauty billows with exuberance.. Your hair dance to the command of breeze Delicate enough to make a tease Your eyes dangle with firmness Matching your confidence and prowess Beyond words and flattering, You're a mysterious reverie On your gracious noble face Where courage is worn like a mask... You're charming and revered Your beauty is naturally reserved On the portrait of your look, your angelic brows are perfectly cute You're a medicine for the heart A Sophisticated greater art Just like the morning sun Your skin glitters with calmness. Beyond art and a mere fiction You're captured in a perfect picture. *Olawale Abdulsalam*

Until you learn to speak your mind or opinion without being apologetic, you will remain the same.

LOG IN SIGN UP WELL-BEING WISDOM WONDER PURPOSE SPECIAL SECTIONS  COMMUNITY CORPORATE OFFERINGS  ABOUT THRIVE  WISDOM Say What You Think And Don’t Be Apologetic About It Be confident in your opinions. by   Darius Foroux       Have you ever stated your opinion only to be shot down by someone else? Maybe by your spouse, boss, parents, or best friend? Or even a stranger? It happened to me many times in the past. Growing up, I always had an opinion about everything. Having an opinion doesn’t mean you know everything. It just means you have something to say. You could be wrong. But often times, my teachers, friends, girlfriends, co-workers, and even friends would immediately say things like, “That’s not true!” So gradually, I gave up speaking my mind. I became afraid. Last week,  I published an article about why I avoid toxic people.  I mentioned that I think less than 1% of the population has...

Harsh untrue opinion from Dee Lee

*DON'T BLAME LIBYA, BLACKS WILL ALWAYS BE SLAVES* For those of us who heard it, this is the article Dee Lee was reading this morning on a New York radio station. For those who didn't hear it here is the full detail:                                    Dee Lee, CFP Harvard Financial Educators  THEY ARE STILL OUR SLAVES We can continue to reap profits from the Blacks without the effort of physical slavery Look at the current methods of containment that they use on themselves: IGNORANCE, GREED, and SELFISHNESS. Their IGNORANCE is the primary weapon of containment. A great man once said, "The best way to hide something from Black people is to put it in a book." We now live in the Information Age. They have gained the opportunity to read any book on any subject through the efforts of their fight for freedom, yet they refuse to read. There are numerous books readily available at Borders, Bar...

Knowledge and wealth

*ON KNOWLEDGE* A learned and well known philosopher once replied to a group of ten learned men who said, *'We seek your permission for our asking a question from you.'* The philosopher replied, 'You are at perfect liberty.' They said, *'Of knowledge and wealth, which is better and why?*. Please give a separate answer to each. The learned philosopher answered in ten parts: 1. Knowledge is the legacy of the Prophets; wealth is the inheritance of the Pharaohs. Therefore, knowledge is better than wealth. 2. You are to guard your wealth but knowledge guards you. Therefore, knowledge is better. 3. A man of wealth has many enemies, while a man of knowledge has many friends. Hence, knowledge is better. 4. Knowledge is better because it increases with distribution, while wealth decreases by that act. 5. Knowledge is better because a learned man is apt to be generous while a wealthy person is apt to be miserly. 6. Knowledge is better because it cannot be s...

Legacy

Image
I am convinced about what legacy means aftern watching Oprah Winfrey talked about it.  Sometimes in life, we will walk and toil searching for fortune around but, eventually we will realized that, our effort is not enough to give us treasure. If you could recall the route to your pursuit, you must have done something worthwhile to engraved in your memory bank. Your legacy is practically the number of lives you touch. It is not the number of cars you acquired, it is not by your pile of academic degrees, it is not by the number of houses you built, it is not even, the number of years you lived. It can only be measured by the number of lives you touched.  Touch a life today. Make somebody smile today. Give a hand to somebody today. Invest in the favour bank and build a legacy. 

The path

The road to success is full of punctures, however hard it is, walk it and pluck your fortune from the tree of success. The path is uncertain, the next step is clear. Trust God.

Love at first Sight

At first sight, By the power of your smile I was lost in the air Flying without wings At second sight By the beauty of your tone I Unconsciously melted away Like an ice in the sun At the parade ground, Your elegance speaks uniquely You are calm but your beauty is unquiet It catches enough attention to make bow By the sweetness of your name Couple with your Fascinating spectacle I lost my heart while appreciating you How lovely you look to me How fascinating is it to  exist in fantasy How hopeful is it to taste your lips In the morning, When the sun rises in mild The ember of your thoughts shines with kind Painting my heart with joyful wand At night, In the nocturnal breeze of hope I spread my heart towards your love Surrendering my love into your care. Olawale  Abdulsalam 

The call to bar scene of Amasa Firdaus

Akeem Babatunde Dauda ON HIJAB, LAW SCHOOL & CALL TO BAR. “Meanwhile sources at the ICC stated that before the ceremonies were to begin, all Muslims were respectfully asked to remove their hijabs prior to entering the hall. This request was complied with by all the Muslims present except Amasa Firdaus who vehemently refused to remove hers. In the process of her protests and despite entreaties made to her by other Muslims she was denied entry into the hall by the Body of Benchers. During the ceremony, a Respected former Chief Justice of Nigeria also met with Amasa Firdaus to convince her to remove her hijab but she did not heed the pleadings as she reiterated that even at gun point she would never remove her Hijab...” (Culled from a Nigerian Law Blog site) Dear Amasa Firdaus, I want to address you. Please allow me share a brief story with you so that you may be inspired and remain resolute. In 2015, my wife, a Soldier with the US Army, was told at the Army Annual Training at Fo...

Education, an economic improving factor

      If I would believe the saying that education is good for everybody to make a living, it has to be unambiguous by applying brevity. That is, it would not be formal education in the whole sense. We have had enough of this issue trending in our society as a result of the immense clamouring for education as a sole factor for success. It will be good to check on the other hand the hindrance the so called schooling without skill has caused in our county's economy.      It is of no doubt that considerable percentage of Nigeria youth are educated ranging from secondary school certificate examination holders or its equivalent, National diploma holders or its equivalent and Bsc. Holders without technical skill, conceptual skill and/or any act of practicality in terms of creativity and invention. With our current crying economy situation, our attention is called to the act of advertising and orientating people to imbibe in the act of entrepreneurship that will ...

MARRIED WITHOUT A JOB

MARRIED WITHOUT A JOB I am an advocate for starting small if small is what one is. The idea of waiting forever to achieve excess wealth before doing the important things in life does not guarantee the success of it, it does not even guarantee the wealth. The only thing it guarantees is lost time. That's you waking up one day and realizing your 50th birthday is in a few days but you are still waiting for the big break before settling down. Having said that, it is not enough to start out without the basic ability to cater for the family created, at least that should be the mindset. Unfortunately, life doesn't always follow our plans. You can plan all you want but when life throws challenges at you, a seemingly foolproof plan starts to look like an irresponsible one. People? those ones don't care how good you planned it, what they see is what they judge. "Your guy no go work today?" and then they snigger right in your face or even ask you "bros you dey leave...
