the follow up email

It has been a long time blogsphere, a really long time and so many things have happened in this time. But October 1 has me out of my shell.

I always find the day one for required pondering... the day Nigeria got her independence from her colonial masters because some heroes past laboured.

I have gotten to the point where I am very convinced that on the 1st of October, Nigerians in the diaspora are the loudest wishing others "happy Independence Day"

Thinking about today's Nigeria how do we speak about this labour? Did they labour for unfair treatment of citizens by those who took oaths to protect them? or did they labour for theft of public funds? or did they labour for citizens to be oppressed and bullied off the neglected roads by sirens and loud noises... the list goes on

After the 1st independence day declaration and celebration was there a follow-up mail and a follow-up mail and a follow-up mail? Would things have been different if people held each other accountable and patriotic and thought deeply? Thought deeply on the labour of our heroes past to improve cost of living for the present and instigate innovation in/for the future.

I have transitioned from student life to job search life... A lot of these follow-up emails have been passing through my email account and it got me thinking...

Happy Independence Day to the Nation, our Nation Nigeria

life is too short...

...to throw away moments like this ( Vincent Kompany ) One cup, many colours this season has been the most dramatic football season so far ...that's football and then more City have the bragging rights, i'll hang my jitters and say they pushed hard, fought back and are enjoying the results. And Barton's stunt! rme! Enough about footie, not one to always talk about it... All week, something has been bothering me...among many other things and listening to Kompany's interview I've got to err do much more. It's the Olympic year and I simply do not know what to do...like do! What can I do????? Seriously it isn't rocket science or learning the pythagora's theorem for the first time! What can I do? Passed by Trafalgar's square last sunday, I think it was 92 days to the event or 82. All the same, what can I do that would add value to the Olympics? ..."life is too short to throw away Moments like this" Vincent Kompany
