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...

El Dorado
Life is a battle,
All actions are gamble,
Where everybody hope to risk a little and gain the world,
While we seek similar goals,
Some sought of El Dorado.
Though faced by many obstacles,
Our outcome is what often relates to our storyline,
If positive; we paint the road rough and shattered as we could,
With many (positive words) such as hard-work, consistency, trust, and diligence to buttress the ordeal we've overcome.
However, if the contrary is the result we tend to paint the road similarly rough but not shattered,
As that aspect is left for self conviction,
Thereby passing blame to whoever we think in our rational assessment believe it is due to.
Though we may share some portion to ourselves to alleviate the personal guilt we feel within.
But while our daily gamble is placed to the stakeholder (GOD) for the believers and on (MORALS) for the atheist.
The fact still remains our interests in life (El Dorado) all stack up to our
immediate gains and satisfaction which are integral to the decisions we make
moment after moment;
The accumulation of these if you are fortunate enough will either drive you
toward your El Dorado or away from it.
Whichever way, the most important part/time of every man life is neither his past nor the future,
Rather the moment we live and the decisions we take every moment of our life.
Whatever nature deals at you, never relent on your El Dorado and take the best
course of action for that moment.
Because that "moment" will never occur twice in a life time.
This write up is dedicated to all those that I've shared a moment of my life with,
and those that will still continue to be in most moment of my life.
