Ise Loma so Omo nu bi oko

Someone even turned this saying into a song. Definitely, we are not a nation comprising of lazy People. At every level , class and all, everyone is working things out meticulously. For starters a country where you pay for light , water and the essentials, portends the all or nothing syndrome. So not being able to overcome or not feeding makes every man inexcusable, it’s s wild , coarse system, leaving many with rigorous lifestyles. The doctrine of the survival of the fittest belongs here , the idea of cutting corners resides in our survival mechanism. No one depends on a failed system, most of us look to alternatives and that is the blatant factor entrenched in everyday living .

You want to get s good job you must break protocol, gain a juicy contract you must be spent extricating either cash, body or connection. To gain contact , you need some fantastic packaging , usually wielded on deception that impress any which way . I was a marketer at some point and was taught you must aggressively appeal to people’s senses as you influence the sensitive side of your customers. Today prostitution is almost akin to marketing, as many need survival to hold on to jobs .

Treachery , corporate witchcraft has become the order of ascendancy in most corporate settings. Our students rather than seek meritocracy are contracting people to write their exams . Whenever possible , eroticism replaces academic gain , translating to the downward spiral of our education standards. A great deal of what we blame the Government for , should be directed to effecting a total overhaul to change the psyche at every strata.

Renaissance structural dimensions are what we need at this point as we see occurrences such as the Ikoyi avalanche becoming common place , if we refuse to learn from deadly mistakes , there will be cumbersome retrogression.During the week , with in-depth bewilderment , one has had to picture the last moment of those who experienced the catastrophe. Especially as we are aware of the struggle to ensure the expected edifice continues irrespective of all restraint over the space of two years . Thus implying that our system is truly workable , invariably what is seen as persecution which is common amongst us , are usually attempts to preserve and ensure order.

That brings me to the mindset of most when we encounter police or the military, the first response is always to resist and be defensive . Based on the fact that the presence of the authorities , always involves spending money to get out of tight situations. The notion that police is your friend is a misconstrued cliche that further strengthens the crookedness of this group of people. Overtime every time you befriend most of them , you engage in a very costly relationship. The fact that these authorities must survive has weakened the resolve of this cadre to maintain order.

Which is traceable to a defective system that has failed to maintain a viable lifestyle for these various forms of authorities. The burdensome task only leads them to fail the system by compromise and arrant corruption. Vigorous cleansing is the answer, as we disinfect we arduously begin a progressive propaganda to revolutionise the present warped mindset. Too dangerous is this present filth, as a Country we must brazen up taking a new turn.

I saw the horror in the people’s eyes all through the week, the people present could hear voices coming out of the rubble. Present there were people buried alive , and how effective was our flawed system in retrieving what was not irredeemable. This is a dreaded thought , telling us we must learn to advance , as we keep on recording the most intelligent people all over the world. Frankly my GOD does not make mistakes he does not bless for nought. We need to revise our mental state ensuring that we engage not loose our saviours birthed for such a time as this.To all those who have lost someone seeking for survival.

The good LORD will restore, I know a man called Job in the Bible, who lost all that he had after he experienced some flourishing in this life. Job stoically received the excruciating experience as the will of GOD. One thing he said that was so touching and I quote”He asked, ” shall we receive only good from the LORD” Amidst all he refused to utter negative words about his GOD. His wife challenged him to “Curse GOD and die “He did not , the song ” I know my redeemer lives” was carved out of his utterances . GOD has seen your tears and he will once again touch your lives , refuse to be negative. Oluwa to ri aniyan yin, ko ni fiyin sileIt is well
