CRIMINAL CELEBRITIES

This piece stands to portray events in most African nations and countries with similar

attributes such as failing economy system, corruption, civil unrest, clamour for secession,

marginalization, poverty, high level of illiteracy and terrorism both psychological and

physical, under-development e.t.c amongst others.



It is a known fact that countries which exemplify most factors listed above often forsake attribute

such as pious, truth and integrity  for the opposite and people who possess such character are often

seen as fools...



Why thieves, vindictive, erratic liars are often celebrated and turned into demi-gods, even

Almighty would have to pause on some occasion to acknowledge this celebrity criminals as

often seen in mosque when Jumat prayers are often delayed till their arrival or in church

where sermons are tailored to suit our modern criminals.



This criminals don't use physical weapons such as gun, knives, bombs to kill but they wield power

(words) which is the greatest weapons of all.



They wage psychological wars on human race and humanities by not only denying them of their

basic needs and necessity but also instigate a fraction and/or race to take some desired course of

action which would certainly lead to the doom/demise of both the race and individual pawns

involved leaving corpse on the path to their road to success, and committing Ungodly crime such as

genocide and destruction.



Despite their crimes ranging from embezzling and misappropriation to war, they are often

celebrated like a celebrity which they are due to the consent of populace either election or

 by appointment, "voice populi voice dae" voice of the people, voice of God respectively.



The reason they still continue to loot our future and bastardize our present linger on the consent

 which the people have given them either via poverty (selling of votes) illiteracy ( i.e the

gullibility of believing in lies either from our religious leaders, ethnic leaders or tribal

background) which are nothing but a tool to politicians and various political actors) \.



While I was young, my parent often enslave my mentality into believing that the God mostly

recognized by my nation Christianity and Islam, perhaps one of the same God in various

form and various cultural background.


but now I ask my fellow readers "is it wrong to believe in oneself ?"


If you don't believe in you and you claim to belief in God "to what extent ?"



Parent as we know them are guardian who are to explain the do's and don't and existing

 protocol / social order of life without interjecting or enforcing personal traits or attributed as our

way of life, the opposite is usually the case, we are different and cannot be our parents' photocopy.

 Why can't they appreciate our difference and not use other A' type robot peers as a

yardstick for our success...

OLD WAYS Vs NEW WAYS: Questions in the twinkle of an eye

Why do people in the twinkle of an eye disregard the importance of what is old to adopt the 

new trend of things?

Though I'm not against the new order of things, but the value of the old ways and 

paradigms cannot be easily thrashed, when the new shining object sparkles right into our 

eyes.

Why do people in the twinkle of an eye disregard the value of old love for new one's?

The value of parental love which are measured in decades: pain and pleasure? 

Though man is believably naturally conditioned to prefer pleasure to pain, but all pleasure 

with no pain create one sided memories, showing only one side of what life connotes, 

because in life there are always two sides to every phenomenon and it does not suffice to see 

or feel one and neglect the other. 

This is however because the true value of the other would be downplayed.

For instance, a boy/girl who decides to elope with his or her newly found love without 

entertaining the tendency of seeking their parents' opinion is also disregarding the value of 

old love in favour of the new ones. This is a situation where youths make decision based on 

their fear or favour of their parents' reactions: for those who "do not think for others".

Why do people in the twinkle of an eye disregard the value of the 'old' culture upon the adoption of 

the new ones? 

Though this topic might attract controversies, as some would base their argument of the old 

culture on its seemingly barbaric nature and conservative attributes, forgetting the fact that 

it is the reason why they were where they have always been and must not be totally 

eradicated but instead modernized to suit the contemporary world, as history of human 

development cannot be fully understood without including the barbaric state of nature 

which they had previously existed.

Why do people in the twinkle of an eye disregard the value of an old tradition and religion 

for the new ones? 

Old traditions and religions, no matter how cruel might not be as distasteful as the 

contemporary ones which preaches conflict in the contest of love and segregation in that of 

unity. 

While old traditions might claim certain live unjustly "in innocent babies" or abominable 

life, so as new tradition and religion conflicts which life claims has no specific age boundary

but an everyday phenomenon.

Where the Old religions ask for little in wealth as returns for prayers and goodwill, new 

religions however drain the pocket of innocent masses and create such problems as poverty

 on a wider scale. Religious leaders in this new age live lavishly at the expense of their 

subjects; building places of worship instead of shelter for the homeless; buying private jets 

instead of building companies, industry for the jobless; building expensive educational 

institutions against the standard of living of masses; killing, raping and punishing innocent 

lives at the expense of love, peace and unity.

Why do people in the twinkle of an eye disregard the value of an old relationship such as 

courtship at the expense of new ones, easily relegating the bound of love and feelings felt for 

the old ones as often instantly transferred to the new ones, in that while spending time or 

making love to the old ones, the picture of the new found love is born in mind?

Why do people in the twinkle of an eye forget so much about all that matter in our pasts?

This I know certainly, a home without pillars often collapses and our pasts are the pillars 

for the future and must be constantly reviewed.
