Article 005-YOU SHOULD KNOW

YOU SHOULD KNOW

It takes many mistakes to be wiser,

it takes no thought to be foolish,

it takes negativity to be crushed,

it takes optimism to be lifted,

it takes faith to see,

it takes fear and doubt to be blind,

it takes confidence and courage to rise after a fall,

it takes an upgraded mindset to stand out,

it takes boldness to speak out,

it takes your will to be useful,

it takes smart-work to achieve,

it takes your inner-peace to be fulfilled,

it takes nothing to think,

it takes your belief to make a difference,

it takes your decision to be happy,no matter what...

it takes you and me to make this world a better place...

Article 004-Hip-hop/Rap

MUSIC article
Hip-hop/rap

Music they say is food for the soul. When i hear that, I keep asking myself..what would the world be without music?
Music is divided into various branches: Pop,r&b,hip-hop,jazz etc.My main focus is hip-hop.
Hip-hop originated in the 1970's in New York City. Ever since the origination of hip-hop in the small parts of New York, it has spread widely to various parts of the world ranging from the time of hip-hop legends like Run, DMC to present day rappers. It is usually practiced in the ghetto areas by people who are able to tell stories and talk about life using rhymes to make meaningful lyrics.
The 'Rap Game" has led to a lot of conflicts leading to deaths,this can be found in the case of Christopher Wallace AKA biggy smalls and Lesane Crooks AKA 2pac.
The rate at which rappers get arrested these days is increasing at an alarming rate.More than 4 rappers have been sentenced between the summer of 2009 and that of 2010.This is mostly because of their drug & weapon use or sales.
These days,rappers don't care about the message they convey,they only care about the money they make. Hip-hop is now a commercial game,everybody wants to join it because people only care about a nice beat and a catchy hook and not about the most important thing, which is the "LYRICS"meaning no message is conveyed. So i ask myself this question, Is hip-hop dead?

LIFE

The joy of life is the love of it

The love of it is gives you the enablement to withstand the wind of it

The strength to withstand the wind of it gives you the desire to make life work for love

Life working for love gives you the ability to dream, believe in your dream and achieve life’s goals.

Life is a gift

Inside is a road, a road filled with ups and downs

But very interesting and worth living

So don’t give up when you fail keep loving the life.

A wise man once said “after every experiment comes and experience”

So love your life and enjoy every little moment in it as if it was your last.

Article 002- LIFE ON A NIGERIAN ROAD

LIFE ON A NIGERIAN ROAD

I sit and watch many people every day from a taxi I take to work in the morning. Young men and women going places, rushing to cross the road and trying so hard to get to their various places of work in time. Old and young people walking on the streets with their mind so far away that they don’t even hear the cars horn. I look out the taxi window and see how reckless People are, drivers hitting their horns so stupidly not thinking of the next person, little children running and chasing after cars to sell gala or handkerchief or even sachet water, some stretching their tiny hands to clean the windscreen, “stop! comot from there, you want die?” says the driver angrily, he also sighs and says “chai this children sef, God help us oh” shakes head in pity and drives on.

Still in this taxi I sit so quietly because I follow through to the last stop. At every drop a new passenger enters, some happy some sad. Some smelling bad some with nice perfumes, but I refuse to be distracted I just still look out the taxi window for the life on the streets. All of a sudden I see a checkpoint, it’s the police. The driver pulls over nicely and the officer stretches his hand to the driver and says “Roger” I giggled. The driver answered saying “Officer I just de start work today, nothing de for now.” The police man then says “Oya show me your particulars” when he did this I knew we are in for a little delay. We pleaded with the driver to please give the police man his “Roger” so we can all go. He obeyed and hands the police man a squeezed fifty naira note and the police man reluctantly sighs and says “Oya move,” and the driver drives off .

Still moving we got stuck in a little traffic. I was so unlucky the taxi was right by a large trailer whose oil has not been changed for ages or engine even serviced and the exhaust was right by my window. Any time the trailers engine steams, it sends the carbon from the exhaust right to my face. After this trailer passed came the annoying sound of police trucks with their loud horns and annoying siren taking wrong lanes without any emergency or distress call driving With so much speed. I quickly close my ears and prayed they passed fast before I get a headache. After a while The traffic cleared and we moved on. We later got to a place where the road was so bad that a pregnant woman could have a miscarriage while crossing these potholes. After we passed that road, a man sighs and says in a sad tone “This country sef, when are we going have good roads” I laughed and said “ very soon”. That stirred a huge discussion in the taxi about our country. People in the taxi started talking about what they know and even what they clearly have no idea about but it all seemed true.

Gradually approaching my stop I saw young boys jumping on and off moving buses screaming on the top of their voices names of bus stops for passengers to hop in . It was really a sight, what if they miss a step and fall? who takes the Blame?

Very close to my stop was a traffic warden who always seemed to forget my lane, he calls other lanes to move but mine he always forgets. Finally after motorist have hit their horns for awhile he finally noticed and called my lane then we passed. I tapped the driver and said “dropping de oh driver” he pulled over after twenty to thirty meters from my stop and I paid him and came down. So exhausted I walk gradually till I got to my office, greeted all my colleagues and sat down. I said to myself Oh! what an experience on a Nigerian Road.

Article 001-A HUG

A HUG

The sun is setting

The clouds are folding

The rain is about to drop.

Our love is fading

Winter is becoming too cold

Summer too hot

Fountains are no more flowing

Our Love is Fading

The lily is closing

The bud of the rose refuse open

The sun flower withers at the setting of the sun

Our Love is Fading

Oh! Oh! What will I do?

Tried to be in his company but No! too much fondness.

Tried his kiss, no! it’s just waters

Oh! What then?

A hug? Yes I think it’s a hug

Oh! a hug, that which binds two hearts with a lovers arrow

And then a kiss to water the hearts to help it grow

And then company to make love last forever

Oh! Our love is fading

What do I do? what do I do?

A hug! A hug will do
