She is beautiful
She is important
She is the future
See her tender heart
Yearning for love
Hear her voice
Don't take it away
She is to be valued
She is to be groomed
Hold her hands
Lead her to her purpose
She is a womb
In time she would birth life
She is much more
A mind full of ideas
Soft yet powerful
She is a leader
She is a supporter
She is a true friend
Invest in her too
Why make her feel any less
Why hold back her rights
Why the hate
Why the discrimination
She is a girl
Celebrate her
I have seen countless girls deprived of education,choice  of career,forced into  marriages as children   and more "because they are girls" today in the international day of the girl child and for me a girl should be celebrated everyday.Let her realise she is as important as the boys.let her understand she os is able to succeed and rise.give her equal support,invest in a girl child today.

some people have given up,they see Nigeria as hopeless,They feel it can not get better.they come with history records,recent happenings and even present situations.People are frustrated and tired  so out of the frustration comes so much cursing and bitter words.
Believe me when I say I know the feeling of disappointment,the hurt that one feels when hopes are raised only to be dashed.But when I withdraw from the so much noise and look a little deeper.I see good...so much good in  Nigeria.I am being really honest now.I know someone can see this good but if you can not, I wish I could borrow you my eyes, just so you see what I see and of course return my precious eyes back.
  Right from the time of Adam and to this very day,We humans tend to feel comfortable pushing blames.We refuse owning up to our wrongs or inefficiency.
  While complaining of a cut in your leg there is someone with no legs,he would gladly take your legs with the cut , Be thankful and treat the cut.When the complain is not healing the cut,why don't you use the time to find some first aid.
  
  Why curse when you can bless
  why speak death when you Can speak Life
  why worry when you can pray
  We can change our thinking
  We can look inwards at what we can do
  We can individually make a positive   difference

I'm not saying become voiceless,I'm saying  let your voice carry positive    value and be backed up with positive actions.
Can anything good come from Nigeria?      
Yes!I'm a good example
Happy Independence Beautiful people of Nigeria

I close my eyes a little while
While the sun Shined so bright
But now my eyes are wide open
And  all I see is darkness and night

I thought I'll save my precious soul
From all the pain there is in life
I thought I'll I be at peace and whole
But how can I avoid the strife

Life is too short not to take a risk
Saving it for nothing is a stupid thing
I choose  preserve my life  or not
Still it will be gone someday and soon

I hear the rhythm of my heart
But how can I dance to this tune
Its a reminder the clock is ticking
An awakening  to truly live
That moment you hear someone young passed away.the sting of death.....

We rise
We fall
We cry
We laugh
make mistakes
make amends
No matter what happens
However we try
Some memories will never fade
just a thought

Love has stole  heart away
Treasured for a million years
How I wished for long she stay
Far  from her many fears

Heart is broken once again
What can fix her shattered soul
Mend her now and not for gain
Let her now be safe and whole
Playing with simple words,July 20th
