⚔Hi everyone, hope you have been good and you all enjoyed the blessings the month of October brought with it? The challenges, yes the challenges too, I hope you had the fortitude to surmount them? Wow! That month has a special space in my heart, and I resonate with it every year because it is the month God decided to recruit my Dad into his heavenly team fifteen years ago. It made my life a test I didn't study for; but, I came prepared. 🗡Unless you don't believe there is a Creator who made the universe and every creature in it. The good book says it takes the Glory of God to conceal a matter and the honour of men to search it out. When we really search with our heart and mind, we will know that nothing evolves without an external force (seen or unseen) exerting an impact. However stiff we might seem to find our sojourn on earth, we should endeavour to trust the journey, knowing fully well that our creator sent us here prepared. 🛡Definitely, there will be twists and turn...

☯Question for higher power: If you had a choice, would you want to grow old or rather stay forever young? Anyway, it is a rhetorical question because we don't really have a choice. As long as we are alive we are all subjected to the natural phenomenon called "aging". However, some people age with Grace while some don't, and the only thing both parties have at the end of the day will be memories of their juvenile years or memories they created while they had the chance. 👘Life is a highway and nobody gets out alive except you are a reincarnation of the biblical Enoch and Elijah. Life is in moments and we should all endeavour to make good memories. The creatures in my brain were becoming hyperactive and brought the thoughts of my younger years when my cousins, brothers and I would all put on the same type of clothing during any major festivity. We would visit different places in that same attire sometimes looking like those eulogising masquerades, but we gave no car...

At first I did it for the money and failed. I attempted for the accolades and derailed. Tried again for friends sake but got cut out. Pressured by relatives and still gave out. Alone, I picked the match stick In my smouldering ashes. I attempted. I lit the candle, Made it burn. In the end, I won, For me. ✍ Ogunlana A. Owolabi

RE: Nigerians are a loving and strong people. My love for art just can't be caged. It is fast becoming my muse. This eye art with the title "still looking forward" (Artist_Unknown) is the perfect illustration for Nigeria and Nigerians and when I saw it online this piece came to my mind. Love is such a beautiful thing that nobody can ever deny no matter how it is conceived. Nigeria, we hail thee! This country will "show you pepper" no matter how you conceive it. It will bring down your idealism and make you humble. Still, in the midst of these, I am of the opinion that Nigerians are a loving and strong people. From the fact that Nigerians have wolverine's ability which enables us heal quick; to the fact that we thrived in an economic situation that Britain's prime minister said might have cut short the existence of his country. Nigerians, I hail thee. In Nigeria, the art of survival is a story that never ends but we have learnt to live above...

Not Me🗣 There are two sides to every matter and abstractions that exists. Life and death, success and failure, space and time, faith and chance. These and more are the forces of the world. They control every atom that revolves on this planet and the onus is on us to play whichever cards we are dealt to the best of our ability; however, we can also learn the sleight of hands (literarily though) so as to be able to control some aspects of every eventuality. When I was an undergraduate, one of my lecturers said, "whenever negative life events occur to people, they tend to wail, saying, why me? I ask them, why not you? These are natural occurrences which are bound to occur to anybody anytime and when it happens you should accept it and not wail in denial". Then I said to myself in a hush tone, not me, I wouldn't wait till something bad happens to me, I'll pray. I refuse to accept any disaster as a natural occurrence simply because it happens to other people. Not me...

🎥 A couple of days ago I saw a Chinese movie titled "Shock wave", in the movie there was a crime scene in which a bomb was strapped to the body of a young policeman who happened to be a hostage to some terrorists who had about four hundred more hostages. The young policeman was sent to the midst of his other colleagues and many onlookers with the timer counting down. He had some choices; either to let the bomb detonate in the midst of his colleagues and the onlookers, or to go back to the midst of the terrorists and the other hostages killing them all, or to stay where he'll be alone and thereby be the only casualty. Whatever choice he makes will have a lasting effect physically or emotionally on other people. What choice do you think he made? Back to the topic. ...................................................................... 🗼A lighthouse is a tower topped by a powerful light used as a beacon to warn and guide ships.

Start when the pain is deep, Start when the light seems dim. Start when the ecstasy has waned, Start when the mind seems tamed. Start when the road is rough, Start when the path seems tough. Start when the winter comes, Start when the rain endlessly pours. Start when the wind is fierce, Start when the summer brings tears. Start when the ink seems blurry, Start when the tears flow endlessly. Start when the cold is bone chilling, Start when the heat seems scorching. Start when the night is still young, Start when the day seems long. Start when the die is cast, Start when the rhythm seems lost. Start when the laughter peaks, just start , Start Now , 'cos Now Is All You Have! ✍🏾 Ogunlana A. Owolabi

As time passes on, life will show you it's own arrangements. There are a plethora of reasons why we are here and some of us will have to figure it out as we go, some early, some later as life is a highway with twists and turns and you sure know as I do that nobody gets out alive. We've got to do what we have to do here and now but the most important factor will be how well we enjoy our journey. 🎥Cut! Cut! Cut! That's not the crux of the matter.

The United States of America🇱🇷 prides itself as the strongest country in the world and this is due to the amount of money she pumps into her defense sector. Any nation who will conquer U.S.A will be the nation that will successfully highjack "The Pentagon".  For those that don't like mathematics, don't be scared I am not talking about polygons here. The Pentagon is a metonym used to refer to the headquarters of U.S.A...

My brother always warned me against them, especially those I meet at night (late nights). Truth be told, I don't know how you did it but I'm writing this so the world would know and learn from this experience. Read to the end... ..................................................................... You hold me steadfast with your alluring grip and even though you give me rumbles, I still can't let go of you because anytime I am with you my satisfaction knows no bounds. Your charm holds me close and keeps me satisfied like no other. You give me joy with the shape of you. You alone cannot give me the joy I desire unless I have a threesome with your sister. Your mother must be skilled giving birth to both dark and light skinned daughters. Lest I forget, why do your mother take you out only at night? Are you karashikas? It all started that evening when your mother took both of you for an outing while I sat outside chilling with my roomie not knowing that you'l...

❤Love - ⏳Time - ☠Death (Military Men's Perspective) For all our deeds after its done, our ideas after its realisation, our words after its spoken, our thoughts after its penned, our feelings after its expressed; we finally subject the indices to an audience of one, in secret, with no applause, coming heads on with the image that reflects in the mirror, that's when we truly get to our moment of validation. I love the Uniformed men, especially the Soldiers. The discipline, charisma, loyalty and utmost dedication with which they carryout their duties and live their lives one day at a time because the next minute is not assured. I had a stint at a military school for part of my junior secondary education and though I wasn't well informed then, the memories of the treatment we were given by the Officers and Men is still endearing (well personally). More so, I've seen myriads of good Hollywood Military movies, from Marines to Navy Seals, and read about them in bo...
