I’m still suffering from the pain All of us are suffering from the pain. But tell me, which has been more painful for you, the pain of the victims or the pain from the disappointment? I don’t know, my friend. You know how I hate to call out anyone. I always feel unqualified because I’m always at the mercy of God. I prefer to show…

One thing that makes the current situation in Nigeria, Israel and Palestine really complex
One thing? Sure Are you serious? Yeah. We are often encumbered by many things when one thing is really what we need Can one thing or a single item ever be complex? I’ve always assumed that a single item should be easy and not complex Do you want us to probe that position any further? Not now. I’m interested in the one thing that makes the…
#Liam Neeson’s The Marksman as a Metaphor series 10: Complete the mission and ‘disappear’
Which inspires more regard and appreciation, complete the mission and disappear or complete the mission and hang around to be praised and commended for your service? Between disappearing and hanging around, which option has a higher possibility that the hero may engage in acts that could demystify his marksmanship and heroism, and in the process undermine whatever achievement was made earlier? Liam certainly deserved a…
#Liam Neeson’s The Marksman as a Metaphor series 9: Show the way to a better life
Yesterday, we examined briefly the fact that top marksmen defend and train those children providence had given them charge over. A major component of the training is pointing the way to a better life. Would the trajectory of Maurico, the attacker, not have been different if he had a marksman in the mold of Liam to defend and teach him, pointing him to a better…
#Liam Neeson’s The Marksman as a Metaphor series 8: Defend and train the victim
Because Liam defended Miguel, it was easy to train him. Defending him became a bridge Liam crossed to facilitate learning for the boy. Liam says Miguel ‘is a natural.’ And rightly so because he proved to be one. Yet can anyone argue against the fact that there are many persons ‘who are natural’ but who haven’t gone on to prove that they are? Or that…
#Liam Neeson’s The Marksman as a Metaphor series 7: Stick with those you can give a chance
When a top marksman subscribes to a cause, it is for the long haul because he’s been arrested by the bug that would not leave him until those weak persons, he can give a chance are within a thoroughly safe precinct. Are there many in our world with vastly limited chances today? Are the regular and typical attempts to stick with such persons fraught with…
What’s missing in Gov. Sanwo-Olu’s Richard Mofe Damijo-led 9-member Lagos State creativity empowerment committee – Part Two
The artist called Rudeboy (one half of former popular duo known as PSQUARE) just celebrated reaching the 1 million subscriber mark on YouTube Ok. Good for him Do you know the implication of having such humongous number of subscribers? Do you know that with just 50,000 subscribers on YouTube, you are on your way? You don’t need any panel of judges, time keeper and any…
What’s missing in Gov. Sanwo-Olu’s Richard Mofe Damijo-led 9-member Lagos State creativity empowerment committee – Part One
Haba, my friend. The committee was only inaugurated last week and already there’s something missing? Are you so desperate for attention? Is that what you think this is about? I guess not but shouldn’t you give the members some time to settle in and face the very strategic assignment? I’m willing to do that but the morning shows the day Meaning? Didn’t you see that…
On this Mother’s Day how may we cheer burdened Nigerian mothers?
How may we banish or minimize the constricting sense of futility? How may we grieve with the mothers of Nigeria who mourn the death of Nigeria’s children taken away needlessly? How may we mourn with the mothers of Nigeria who mourn the death of Nigerian fathers taken away needlessly? How many we truly end effectively empathize with all Nigerian mothers traumatized by the brutality and…
