The Gift
Life is the greatest gift
Health is what make the gift interesting and fun
Money is what make the gift comfortable
Good friends are the beauty of this gift
Colors gives this gift warmness
Music gives this gift melody
Accepting Christ is the greatest gift God gave to humanity

Now watching in background knowing this tears are real
The possibilities are endless
The capacity of impact he or she as left on people hearts
Everyone as an expected years he or she want to live but
Who would know when the Master will call
Everything here on earth is a product of the Creator word
The destination is what matter after the passing away
The emptiness left on people who once knew them
Tears like water falling on the ground but can’t bring back the departed
We can only choose to move forward from what have happened and learnt from the life that as cross over
Nothing matters to you when gone(money, house, car, children, certificates, job,families, clothes etc)
A person who ones lived,ate,slept,walked,Laughed now lives in eternity ........

This is my father’s land
Where I grow up and saw the love and richness among us
Intelligent been speak by our elders
And no corrupt leader
Their wisdom is one of which have kept me going
The people whose success stories we read are the ones who dare takes risk
Respect been taught by our mother’s
Our sister’s could cook and do home chores
Times we could go out late at night to call a Uncle or an aunty when need rises
Times were everyone was just leaving as one
Times when the environment would be so peaceful and fresh air everywhere
When they was jobs everywhere but now people are begging to eat
Times where True success was celebrated not fraud or anything illegal .......

Let us don’t catastrophize
He his not perfect
The deed is done ,how do we move on now is to embrace forgiveness and move forward
I know he won’t have needed forgiveness if he was more forbearing
It is to be expected that a time will come when a son,brother or a friend will need to be pardon for what he did
When they is discord ...union
Let’s repair what’s ours
I know sorry doesn’t take back the things we have say already but it bridges the gap
Even life give us the chance to forgive and accept wisdom to move forward
Indeed forgiveness brings freedom
I wish we all be kind enough to forgive
Let remember the word of Laila Gifty Akita “Love forgives and keep no records of wrongs”

Hi There, it's been a while right ,yea I have been busy with school work and some other things
99 6:06
A chapter I'm working on for "The Efficacy Of The Mind"
As we make progress in life ,we sometimes think of mistake we had made and sometimes we push the blame on someone for the progress we have made
Anyway what have happen as happened
What do we do next is what play next
What people say or think of us is theirs
We know what we have been through and the effort we have put in ourselves to get to where we are today.Constantly keeping our goal as priority and taking the nessary step forward "life indeed is a journey and the effort of choice we make are not seen immediately but our choices are seed which will germinate someday"

So much in 21st century that we can literally get as much pleasure as we want, yet people find less fulfilment in things... Despondency are now become a routine for people
People smile to cover the pain they feel inside
Students trying to get good grades despite having failed expectations
Doctors treating sick patient while his own to face problem
People trying to be fit because they feel they are out of shape
Lots of graduate in the street no demand of labour
Banker's facing financial unstable
Pastors acting all superman while facing lack of care, finance trouble and betrayals
People faking identity because they want the society to accept them
Hope of many fading away because of the failed political system
In this garden of gravity we just have to be strong to survive

Freedom,peace and progress
When the night is closed just know that it won't consume you
Not allowing the past pull us back
People are scare of the change that will come because of the prize of freedom they must take by force from their dictator
Mother's cry all over the land because her children are taken from her
Corruption in power , seeing this country in chaos is all you chose to achieve
We will never stop to demand for good governance despite your effort to make us tire
Governed by an totalitarian Constitution that favour a few
Steeling the country wealth to live a high life style and take your children outside the country
Students are being kidnapped, killings by unknown gunmen,youth crying of unemployment, economic hardship is all we could say of this regime
You can't take our dignity......

Happy African Day
Today we celebrate unity in diversity across Africa
Love and understanding keeping us going
Despite corruption and lack of social amenities we still come out strong and outstanding
Like Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala,Aliko Dangote,Elon Musk,Tidjane Thiam doing exploit
Africa Day is a day we celebrate our cultural heritage,music and food
It's a day we think of how much of our potential and creativity have change the world
Is a day we reflect of things we haven't become if they is dream of grow and become a develope nation
For they must be a planting for there to be harvest
The future of Africa is up to us
When the world will see Africa in it purest form

Words through writing are the feelings from the heart
Hinding behind a mask
Locked inside a cage
Feelings rushing through my veins
A strong force that draw us together even though we choose to ignore the signs
People see an unending string of love flowing between us
Sometimes I don't understand what's going on but people somehow decode
Can't stop looking at each other
Can't stop caring even though we fight
But love still bring us together
Felt her heart calling me
We all need that special someone who will be always there to support us and stand by your side
Who understand your feelings and pains
Whom you show your true self
Without hesitation
Whom you help whenever the need arises
You attitude isn't always inviting
Sometimes pushing me away
We both want perfection
Thoughts constantly in my head
You are sometimes sassy and sarcastic with mood swings
With inspiration expanding my imagination
©Akonu Emmanuel
Let me feel your touch on me
Take my chin and look into my eyes
Make that promise while claiming my lips
So this is the love I was looking for all this while
A person that have compose personality, honor, have a great sense of fashion,productive, responsible with her obligation, help in your progress,uplifting, inspiring, intelligent, generous
My heart dances with every thought of you
Love became real to me the moment i meant you
Love is like a rigger waiting to be ...

The news just came in
Tears dropping down
Pains felt by my heart
How could this be
So I say to myself
Fear of who might die next!
Broken hearted
Is the world lost in agony
People lossing the courage to fight
Why so much pain and hurt
The spark ✨ that gives us the courage to move forward
We must chose to live despite what happen
Their memory is all we got hold of
If only they could see the tears in the world you left behind
Hear what people have to say about them
Sometimes I do ask myself what the world needs but again I ask myself what make me feel alive because the world need people who are alive... .

The day I met you, I found the piece of me I didn't know was missing. I fancy you and even the better part of me you brought out
wish you could see yourself through my eyes, then may be you'd understand why I fanacy you
When we're together it's as though the world moves in slow motion and we're the only thing that's still moving
Your love got my hypnotize
Even if the oceans dried up and the days turns into nights and even if the stars start falling from the sky, as long as you are by my side, my world would be perfect
And relationship is not about how much love you have in the beginning but how much love you build till the end. The inevitable truth is, if we are meant to be, our hearts will find each other regardless of the distance apart. And if our hearts melt together so will our bodies and souls.

Connecting with a child and insist they become the best they can possibly be
Stopping child labor and bringing the kids to school to be educated
We need to see a situation from our child's point of view
Why not be the person you needed when you were a kid to children around you
When you educate a kid you empower that kid
Education is the key to reducing poverty, eliminating inequality, building ethics and innovation

Some people say they is recurrent patterns of unequal distributions
A nation will not survive morally or economically when so few have so much and so many have little
Inequality a race of unfairness so think the poor
Where by status, class and circle have now cause division
Hard work, persistent and resilience can the lead the way out
You say life isnt fair
Nothing is fair
Who are we going to blame for that
We got different war and different pursuit
The world will never be equal
So for things to change you have to be creative and productive
Searching in the dark for a new start
Would they silence us for speaking the truth
Bullet in our head
Knife in our heart
Pain and strife in the heart of the youth
The youth reaching for freedom
Freedom from oppression
Freedom for unequal right
Freedom from imaginalization
Would the struggle for a better Nigeria continue
Would the Lekki toll gate killings stop us
Or the arrest the youth stop us
Or their fake promises stop us
Let's pray and fight for a better Nigeria
The leaders said we are lazy but the only prison is fear and the only freedom is that we stand together for better Nigeria
Suffer nor dey tire you
No Retreat No sureender

Humanity in Religion - - >
Understanding
Let's unite and let's rebuild the love and harmony
Let's fight the hate together
Hate has no religion
The ignorant masses fuel the fire of disunity
Empathy and love can give us peace
In all we do let's not fail the society as human beings
Let's rise from the stone and stick days and be civilized
Let's be realistic
Because the view we adopt for ourself profoundly affect the way we lead own life
So let love lead in our heart

This year let's join hands and say no to Rape
With the rise of rape cases in the world
Girls are no more safe
While walking somewhat away to office, college or market
People aways blame the girls for being the cause
Girls don't get raped because they were not careful enough
They were rape because someone raped them
Sweat from the struggle on the sheets, blood in their mouth
Memories like tattoos in their mind
Being a victim of the merciless
Choke on a sob as his heinous act is carried out
Feel the roughness of his figertips at the base of her back
Felt her body being ripped out of her soul
Lost in her thoughts
Tears dropping
A soul fighting
Fighting to escape
Fighting for a door of freedom
Screaming! But no words heard
Can you feel her pains??
Eyes filled with untold stories
A past to let go
Felt like leaving this casket called body
Because the sickness of rape just keep increasing
