Monday Uplift: DARE TO DREAM

For thousand years ago, the only people in the world were monkeys and they said,'We'll never walk' Erectus,We'll never talk, 'We'll never use tools and one monkey called the HOMOSAPIEN said 'Oh Yeah!,I'm walking and talking right now.... That monkey was DREAMER.

500years after, the Wright brothers decided to make a flying machine,'you fools,you idiots!What's your problem' , everyone shouted. 'That will never work because plywood weighs more than air'. 2weeks after, the Wright brothers responded 'No,it doesn't, this will work.'. The Wright Brothers were DREAMERS.

Vincent Vanghal, everyone told him 'you have only one year, you cannot be a great artist' and you know what he said, 'I can't hear you'. Vincent Vanghal was a DREAMER.

To Benjamin Franklin, people said 'you can't fly a plane in a rainstorm' and Benjamin said 'Yes,You can. If you have an electric kite'. He was a DREAMER too.

SO DARE TO DREAM, DREAM YOUR WILDEST DREAMS, YOU CAN CLIMB THE HIGHEST MOUNTAIN, YOU CAN DROWN IN A TEACUP IF YOU FIND A BIG ENOUGH TEACUP AND IF SOMEBODY TELLS YOU YOU CAN'T DO SOMETHING, YOU SAY TO THEM 'YES I CAN BECAUSE I'M DOING IT RIGHT NOW. DARE TO DREAM.
(Quote culled from a movie 'Dinner for Schmucks)

Have a great week people.

Live, Love and Learn.

My Two Kobo Thoughts Thursday for Lovers

How this gist with my colleague and I at work started I don't know but It inspired me to write this. So we were watching a political rally and we noticed one of the prominent people present was busy grinning at his mobile phone while his wife, the first lady of that state was smiling cheerfully while waving the party's flag. My colleague at work concluded that he was probably sexting his bae and couldn't be bothered about the stupid rally anyways. He probably couldn't wait to jet off to meet his bae already. I was amazed at her thought and I argued that he was probably tweeting about the rally, checking updates and reading news online. She disagreed o! She said the average black man is a cheat as long as he has roots from Africa. So I allowed her continue, and she explained that she had heard so many reasons why men cheat and she can only blame the girlfriends or wives. This reminded me of a friend (Tomiwa) that became a serial cheat overnight. His reason.... h...

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY 2

By popular demand, I present to you the concluding part of the blogbuster 'LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY. Click on this link LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY Honestly, I wasn't hypnotized in any way neither was I under a spell of some sort, at least thats what I tell anyone that asks. But was I? A question I keep asking myself till date, I hope at the end of this,you might be able to give me an answer. Story begins..... We drove off to somewhere in Coates Str, EbuteMetta,Lagos Mainland to be precise.We got off the car and made an agreement not to expose the source of the money to the baba, we would tell him that we found the money in a land we plan to buy in Agbara, Lagos. We walked into a sawmill then to a small yard was where we stopped. As we waited for the almighty 'BABA' to come out, I quivered in fear. Maybe this wasn't such a good idea, 'I better opt out now', I said to myself. Just as I was about to let my thoughts ...

LIVING IN LAGOS CHRONICLES BY YOURS TRULY

Its been a minute yeah, I know and I've missed you. After a conversation with some friends, I finally got inspired to write about one of my Living in Lagos Chronicles. As much as every memory of this incident surprises me, I find a reason or two to laugh real hard and even consider acting...lol. The initial plan on this fateful morning was to go to work as usual but then that bad angel whispered evil thoughts of where I could go to and would have more fun (unholy) obviously, #imnosaint!. So I changed routes and headed to ........... story for another day. I had enough opportunities to change my mind because I was so unlucky from the very beginning. First, I had to sit in a bus for 2 good hours trying to wait for passengers and of course they never came. I got impatient, got off the bus and went to some other bus stop. Luckily I found one, it took me to Costain. At least I was a bit close to my destination, Surulere. Then I began to wait again at the Costain ...
