After school: solution or problem


Picture the life you want to live when you get out of school. The job you want to take, the family you want to raise; the kind of house you want to buy and build; the exotic cars you want to own. Holidays and resorts places you want to go. Picture life after school and think of how now, you have worked smart to get there. Can you get to that outside dreamed pictures of yours? Can you really be what you imagined in that few years to come? Have you truly earned it? But paramount of all, do you want to join what the realist call the labour market or what the religious optimist call the favour market? Whatever you call it here, the reality and figures out there prove something spectacular- the solutions you create now are the master keys that open your desired imaginations.
It is one thing to have a degree and swallow a first class but the outside world is more than heaps of certificates because millions in the labour market have same or better qualifications. It is not even the connections you have because like certificate they will only shoot little far but what I am writing on is the reality that lurks in solutions. The world at large want solutions and it is only those who can offer solutions that the world will employ. What solution do you have at hand now? What problems are you trying to solve in this school, at home, in your organization and in Nigeria? How feasible or importantly successful is the solution. Africa and the world have problems; that is a job but how many of the certificate holders can solve it. Problems could be anything whatsoever but the solution you have is what will make headway for you. The solution is that genius in you.
So know for sure that it is good to have a first class certificate, better to have solutions to problems but the best is to have solutions that people in your family, community, organization needs.  The truth is some people will still have third class and still earn more than a first class or go better in life than a first class because in their hands lies a bucket full of solutions the world is dying to have. If you can not meet needs then you are not fit for employment. If you don’t have any solution to problems of life then you are as useless as anything you yourself can think of.
The solution lies all in us; the solution to resolve issues and bring out the best in life. The world would only pay and need us more by the powers of problems we can take and solve. The job market is for those who have the qualifications, not in paper prints, but unfolding in their mind, to creating a world of solution that meets every need their environment is battling with.  As fine as it is to dream those beautiful dreams, know for sure that the world out there shapes the dream of those who have solution, build solutions and creates opportunities for others. Think solutions today

Do you remember?

Do you remember the first day we met? The sun gave a whopping smile That exposed the nakedness of the sky A hi exchanged from four eyes Emotional words wrapped behind sounds And the whispers of our thoughts Do you remember the first night at the park? Nature’s splendour carving the moon’s jealousy The sky at its best costume The arts, the cinema, and two lovely souls at the park Do you remember the night we first kissed? Perfect moments stowed in time forever The thoughts, the lips, and the gentle kisses The journey to the seventh heaven Do you remember the first void? Seven oceans sever bodies but not our souls Through two thick cords and platoons of air We talked and laughed and shared deep feelings Do you remember the first argument? You became the wind, I was the ocean; We fought not to be over But to be together, forever The words of war became the words of love Do you remember the first romance? Two bodies moving in syn...

RELIGION

I am a Christian to the extent that I concur with Saint Paul in saying, “And if I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge and have not love, I am nothing”.   I am a Buddhist to the extent that I realize, with Gautama, that only when a man forsakes all his desires is he really free. I am a Jew to the extent I believe profoundly in the saying. “ Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God is one.” I am a Hindu to the extent of believing and practicing the kingly science of Yoga, the science of Union with the spiritual Self. I am a Mohammedan to the extent that I rely on Allah above all else. And finally, I am a follower of Lao-Tzu to the extent that I accept his perception of the strange paradoxes of life. I will not walk with Christians into an exaltation of truth above what Christ teaches, those words that have life and death in them. I will not walk with a Buddhist into a denial of the beauty and pleasure which existence holds for me. I will not walk with Jews ...

I READ TO PASS, I PASS TO READ

I read to pass, I pass to read I must shame the volumes of books Who in their almighty prowess Mock my integrated oblongata I must break their spines Turn and tore their gallant colours Empowering lanterns, embracing candles To scan and cram; to skip and keep; To the arrival of the sunlight To the takeover of the moon light Benches of libraries are my bed Piles of books, my pillows I wrestle with bloodless biros Searching depths of Einstein’s well Agreeing with the theories of Dalton Seeing through telescope of Galileo’s Having to traveling my brains ashore, for Knowledge alien to what my ancestor’s call I read, what is not my problem Cramming that which makes a hell of sense And that which is a sense of hell I must pass and pass to others Knowledge not mine; not from my mine. I must avenge this wretched letters Whose author’s idea I am forced to burrow, That which I need and most that brew...
