REMEMBERING STYL PLUS

I woke up this morning with "Run Away" playing in my mind, I even wonder why. Then i just remembered the days of STYL PLUS when they were a music brand to be reckoned with, their vocals was just on point. They were good. Though they aren't together again today, below are my best STYL PLUS tracks ever....

15 Points To Consider...

1. Never compare your weaknesses to other people's strengths.

2. Own your life, or someone will own it for you.

3.  We cannot change the cards we are dealt,just how we play the hand.

4. Climb mountains not so the world can see you but so you can see the world.

5. If you accept your limitation, you go beyond them.

6. Comfort is the enemy of achievement. (Continue Reading)

The Type....

Once again, I've gotten the Spoken Word fever from Sarah Kay. Here's a poem, though written by me, inspired by Sarah Kay's The Type. Enjoy!

If you want to grow up the type of man, women want to look at....
You can let them look at you,
your curves and edges,
your packs and abs...
But don't mistake eyes for affection,
for eyes see the ordinary,
but affection sees beyond the ordinary,
they see pain,
they see tears,
they see joy, 
they see love...

If you want to grow up the type of man, women want to touch....
You can let them touch you,
like a picture, you could sit still
like a stuffed animal, you could give warmth
like a lover, you could be good company
but don't mistake touches for care...
for to them, you might only be a picture, a stuffed animal or a lover

If you want to grow up the type of man, women want to hold....
You can let them hold you,
so tight they do not want to leave,
with their soft hands pressing against your tough skin,
making them feel that sometimes,
holding hands are better than hugs and kisses,
that sometimes all one needs to do to show love,
is to hold a hand

If you want to grow up the type of man, women want to be with...
You can let them be with you,
but never forget, they want to be with a man
not a player,
not a dreamer,
but a doer
Show them who a man really is,
beyond curves and edges, packs and abs
beyond tough skin, lies a good heart
and patience
and care
and concern

If you want to grow up the type of man, a woman wants to love
Don't just let her love you,
Show her true love,
go to lengths,
send her notes, that way she knows you are thinking of her
rent the flower shop, that way she never gets lonely,
look at her,
touch her,
hold her,
be with her,
show her that all she always needed,
was love, true, pure, blessed
like a gardenia,
obscure of what's around,
like a camera view finder,
looking for her,
to stand in its middle,
like its lens,
focusing on her,
with all your might,
living for her,
because she's your tomorrow,
Let her know, without doubt....
You're the Type!!

GAYS SHOULDNT BE JAILED!

The decision of the Federal Republic of Nigeria to criminalize same-sex relationships and gay rights groups  with penalties of up to 14 years in prison is actually a case of misplaced priorities and lack of direction. 

Personally I believe that ones sexual orientation is not the business of the Government because i dont see how that affects the Government in any way. Being gay is wrong and thats an act i dont only find repulsive but also very abnormal but should that deserve a 14 year sentence??

Its just like jailing someone for masturbating or sleeping with another man's wife with her consent. Afterall this are all wrong acts so whats the special brouhaha about gayism??

If a former Governor could be granted state pardon after stealing Billions of tax payers money you can now see how we have serious priority problems.

There are more serious issues to deal with in this nation and a lot of sectors are upside down so i really dont see why gays being jailed solves any problem! 

Choose a Job You Love.. You'll Never Have to Work A Day In Your Life Again..

Sometimes I try to imagine how people spend about 23 years of their lives in school and then spend the next 37 years working for somebody and making the person richer... Its appalling.. The guy speaking above may not be Robert Kiyosaki but he has a deep message for we the young ones!

When Love Arrives...

My obsession for Spoken Word seems to spark some sort of inspiration in me. This particular poem was inspired by Sarah Kay ( My Favourite Spoken Word Poet) and Phil Kaye's very own "When Love Arrives". Watch them perform it live here
This poem, for some reason, strikes me hard, some parts, fiction, some parts, facts some parts, well, mere fantasy. Hope you enjoy!!

In primary school, love was our colouring books, pens and pencils. We'd look at each of them each day and share with them our imaginations.

Come junior high school, love was that drop-dead gorgeous guy in our favourite sitcom, who often entered the class in slo-motion and drove a Porsche to a high school

In senior high school, love was the cutest boy with curly hair and mad dance skills in our 'brother' school who had nose-diving grades that we didn't care about.

Strangely, this love felt far...
I searched my hostels,( and well in an all girls' school ), love wasn't there.

I often hustled to usher every social event that included our 'brother' schools, so that I could flash a smile at some dude whose stare lasted for more than 7 seconds. (frankly, 3 seconds.) (Continue Reading.....)

Don't Kill Yourself Over One Girl!

Many of you may have heard this particular tragic story of mine, but it has taught me a very intelligent lesson... Some people are laughing already, Kelechi, Adeleke I see you. To the Story; I really liked a particular girl this was about a year ago and this girl was everything I ever wanted in a female specie. She was cute, petite, walked with grace, laughed easily and was sooo charming. We got talking and I used my prince charming abilities to get closer to her. We were friends for about three months but I wanted more, you know what I mean, So i asked her out on the third month and you know what she said?? she said "Victor, i really like you but you know, not now". 

Well, this continued for 10 Months till i finally decided to damn the whole thing and through out this period I was always breaking my head for this girl. I made some huge sacrifices!!... 

Then, I realized the secret formula; An average man has more to offer a lady than she has to offer him(arguable tho), He offers protection, provision, companionship and so much more.... So, as a man if a woman doesn't appreciate what you carry, carry what you carry to another that will appreciate it. Don't kill yourself over one girl!!!
