OPINIONista

Its interesting how peeps form thier opinions about you even without having the slightest idea who you are. Doesn't that rule apply anymore - 'Do not judge a book by its cover?'

Yesterday, I got two seperate views about me, of which one of them was....dare I - say shocking?! I had never had opened my mouth to speak a common word such as 'Hi' to this dude before talk less of having a convo with him. I saw him as another acquaintance but I had no idea this dude thot me a snub/spoilt brat! He told me all that later at dinner! See below for sneak peek on our very first convo:

Dude1: I saw your website, it was nice
Me: thanks!
Me: its still in progress tho
Dude1: YEAH, I CAN TELL
Dude1: four sisters in millions
Me:lol!
Me: with God..we'd get there
Dude1: at least you have started. God that gave you ladies the knowledge, will surely crown it with blessing
Me: AMEN!!

Dude1: you gave it to us and we have it on file in the church
Me: oh..figured that was how..
Dude1: by the way, if i may ask, why are u not surprised
Me: cos i already kinda figured that's how u knew..
Dude1:It's not in my practice research in knowing people's information no matter how it was given
Me: lol..yah rite
Dude1: but i guess the financial analyst description on the form gave me more opportunity to look through
Dude1: even my pastor came to my office and saw it on my desk
Dude1: then later asked me about you
Me: He did?
Dude1: I don't know you but I see you around
Dude1: yes he did
Dude1: you know what i mean
Me: yeah..
Dude1: ok, I really need you to assist me in making some decisions in the church which will serve personal. What do you think?
Me: wot do u mean serve personal?
Dude1: like an adviser
Me: okay..
Dude1: i will present some things to you and u advise on it
Me: hmmmk
Dude1: then I also want you to assist in drawing up next yr's budget
Me: i believe i can assist with the financial advising..I can speak to where to allocate funds to better margin e.t.c..
Me: we can tok 'bout it at dinner...
Dude1: you know what I just observed abt u
Me: lol..wot?
Dude1: I think i had a very wrong impression abt u to be sincere
Me: LOL

Dude1: so far so good, I never knew you could be this cool
Dude1: to be honset
Dude1: I tell people my first impression abt them
Me: lol..

Dude2: u do in ur own way
Me:lol..
Me: u've studied me that much?
Dude2: i'm very observant and sensitive

Sir....Please do me a favor and shurrup!

You haven't gotten a good glimpse at death

There ought to be more than a 2 yr detention and bidding of assets seized from our so-called money-hungry leaders. I wonder if others view the 'price-to-pay' as next to nothing and as an intensifier to keep doing what they know best?

In my opinion, I think when caught, they ought to be left in the hands of hungry and angry peeps who live in the local suburbs of Agege, Idi-mangoro e.t.c. All need do is hand over our greedy money laundering friend to those folks - here goes the animal that has subjected you to 0-1-0. And let them bring upon him any judgement my poor folks deem fit...

The punishment ought to be worse than death penalty itself...Am sorry, it drives me nuts when we are continually aware that some good portion of the Nig population seats on the nation's wealth, while others are subjected to poverty....and there's almost nothing you and I can do about it??

Time and time again we hear and read stories of the EFCC doing investigations and actually catching a few of our greedy folks...but i guess i need some light shed upon how it does stop those treading in the same footsteps?? It seems to me, the more our honorable commission works hard at doing its job, the more our friends work hard at accumulating thier greed.

Tribute to Matthieu Dowu

A Rare Gem is gone?
To those you left behind...
Your thoughts will continually flood our minds..
Though you are gone, your face will always flicker....
Shinning fitfully in the midst of our minds...
Those you've made an impact upon...
Some call you 'Ghandhi'
I choose to call you King....'King of all'
In the midst of chaos and misery
You stood tall, determined to overcome
Not a soul is capable of filling this void...
And yet again the quest why bad things happen to good people...
Your presence might be missing...
But your words and what you stand for, will never be dismissed
Your face remains in the memories of your loved ones..
Your sons will carry your name with pride...
Your memory will linger on the hearts of your daughters....
An Extraordinaire...An Angel...
You who took a walk on this earth and passed through too quickly...
How dare you be forgotten...
One thing is certain...
Open arms await you above.



You will be missed
