8 REASON

The reasoning ladder by which one can rise needs a wall of faith or it becomes a falling prize. Purpose divine reason do not agree with earthy desires and reasons to plea. The great factor of reason and possibilities provides every curse and bliss facilities. Daring is preferred to face the fearing malady, against all odds and wondering remedy. While others astonishment is nothing but the limited ignorance reflecting in that. To touch reality, reasons have to rise above facts, and words that hides reality from any acts. Failure follows upon weakness somewhere, wrong direction leading to the opposite and aware. Death and life feels at the same time benefits by almighty realization prime. The virtue of duty in it's own pleasure, done unwillingly becomes a slavery measure. Critical tendency and its reason of an agitated mind, pursuit the impossible is the magical kind. Sensation is the hand of creation and the highest form of love is giving.

Me and my best friend Emmanuel always takes it as a responsibility upon ourselves to visit the motherless babies home twice or thrice every month. We usually visit the one at Akowonjo called Little Saints Orphanage Home and another one at Palmgrove Bus Stop. But today, we decided to go to Isolo, from Oshodi we took a bus going to Cele, stopped at Iyana Isolo just to take the road under the bridge. We didn't need a Bike because it wasn't far again. My mother used to tell me, "My son, a life well lived is a life of giving." And my father would also say, "Life is all about giving." Those two couples are so wise, maybe going to the village on a weekend to see them wouldn't be a bad idea.

"So you don become a blogger." Emmanuel said.

"Guy... I dey get two thoughts now."

"Na wetin."

"I wan leave blogging. Money no dey for this kain blogging wey I dey do except I be full time entertainment blogger."

"So wetin you dey yarn now be say... Wait oo, lemme ask, wetin bi your second thought."

"Freelancing. Bro my blog is not growing or generating massive traffic like I wanted it to, I thought I'll start making money by now, like people are earning from it via Google Adsense, sponsored posts, affiliate marketing, direct ads, selling products and services and many more. But nothing seems to be working out, I've given it enough time."

"Well then give it more time." Emmanuel demanded. "Reason, bro reason. No pain no gain, take the hill. Come rain or shine, take the hill. You gotta make a choice, take the hill. Don't take the easy way, take the hill. Eyes on the prize, take the hill. Take the high road, take the hill. It's gonna hurt sometimes, take the hill. Weakness will be revealed, take the hill. You will get stronger, take the hill. There will be opposition, but take that hill. There will be casualties, but take that hill. It'll be worth it in the end, take the hill. The strong and the mighty take the hill. You'll overcome, you can't come this far just to give up, and if you want to give up, remember what made you start. Bro I can see you making lots of money from your blog this year, if you can't see it, me I can see it, don't think of Freelancing, just focus on blogging."

"I will my bestie, from now on this blogging, if I perish I perish."

"That's the spirit bro, that's the spirit." He gave me a tap on my shoulder. "Please when you become famous remember me as your number one fan, I follow every of your post." He said jokingly as we both laughed.

"Sure bro."

"Your perspective on Nigeria, I really love the last one you wrote on Cold World."

"I take vex write that one o. You see our senators, they just dey eat Nigerian money and they expect us to ignore am. For years now, history has been repeating itself, now that I've noticed the ruse they're playing, I won't be silent."

"Well, the world is theirs. Me I can only pray for a change."

"Hmm... Never heard of lies spoken so confidently out of one's mouth. Telling comforting fabrications rather than enforcing the truth, do they still not see the enslavement of the youth? Deception, we cry for justice, lack of independence, it's reprehensive, just like Nnamdi Kanu said "Any Nigerian who desires true freedom must be ready to fight for it, not in the ineffective courts but in the streets. Yes, fight aggressively and persistently because your oppressors won't stop until you shoe mettle. They're not the masters of your destiny. You are for revolution." We fighting can make Nigeria better."

"Guy since when did you become a Biafran."

"Well... reason from his perspective."

"Bro take am easy o."

"I can't keep suffering and smiling, 49 sitting 99 standing, it's unfair nah. If our youths are ready to fight, I go join their movement."

"Well you should also go and talk to the president, tell him about the people's plight, tell him about the ambushed and killing of farmers, talk to him about the herdsmen and their settlement, remind him about his unfulfilled promises, tell him about the masses hardship, agony, anguish and plea. Remind him about the enormous natural resources this country is blessed with. Go to the politicians and remind them of yesterday promise not tomorrow's election. Go to the house of representatives and remind them of people's plea to represent them well. Go to the house of corrupt leaders and tell them about the Messiah who gives them power to govern in truth not to be ambassadors of corruption. Go to the universe and beyond and tell all about the greed of men in power. Go to the president and tell him about the high rate of unemployment, crimes, segregation, tribalism, favouritism, religious differences, nepotism, regionalism and people's clamour. For change, tell him this and more." He laughed hysterically.

"Guy stop joking. You know, this herdsmen crisis I blame ex president Olusegun Obasanjo. Tinubu only help to make the situation more worse for the Yoruba as Tinubu could not tolerate the Jonathan administration. Obasanjo is the chief architect of what the Yoruba are passing through in the hands of the Fulani as he lack foresight. They will continue to suffer this situation until President Buhari leaves public office in 2023 or if he happens to die in office. Obasanjo had his eyes glued on Niger Delta crude oil money and he forgot to prepare the Yoruba nation for regional government. Obasanjo kept using One Nigeria slogan to make Yoruba had access to Niger Delta crude oil money rather than working towards a regional government that was in place before the 1966 coup. Obasanjo made the mistake twice, one as a military ruler while handing over power in 1979 and secondly as a civilian leader while handing over power to the Late Umaru Musa Yar'adua government. Obasanjo action led to the huge hate the northerners and their political leaders in the north have for federal government. He made the northerners to believe that there is so much money at the federal level for them to spend without working for their own regional development through the use of resources at their respective states. Yorubas are suffering the effect of Obasanjo greed for Niger Delta crude oil money. Now Fulani want to eat out of Yoruba forest and it does not matter if they had to slaughter the entire Yoruba race. Nnamdi Kanu told the Yoruba all this during his previous broadcast."

"You and Nnamdi Kanu."

"Na my man."

He laughed a bit.

The children sighted us from afar as we entered the motherless babies home premises.

"Uncle Emmanuel, Uncle Micheal." They said simultaneously, running with joy and happiness filling their hearts.
