Dear Old Emily Ratajkowski ……………..
The double-edged flaired obquity called life
that flows at its own pace
sometimes smooth, sometimes rough but eventually worthwhile.
Too often, the brights lights of hope are sheared
by the essence of shadowy mystery
Why God?
It seems that one step of progress leads
to two steps of regress
Such agony
But the spirit of perseverance, patience and sacrifice
drives me to sustain this
despair and lead to true
happiness…..
Always push for greater height and never settle.

American media has been captivated by the insurgence of #Bring back our girls. I am a Nigerian where I loved for 15 years before moving to USA. Boko Haram means “Western education is a sin”. The idea of western education, lifestyle, government and economy is deemed “evil”. The shock that resonates from the idea of kidnapping 300 girls in the name of terrorism is beyond human comprehension but this is what Nigeria is currently facing. Boko Haram has grown from a desolate group to a violent, ruthless, Islamic anarchists that has forever stained the image of Nigeria.
Boko Haram is a malignant cancer that has been growing since the inception of Nigerian independence of 1960. The British left the power of Nigeria favorably to the northerners which was the beginning of the problem. Boko Haram is a function of tribal history, Sharia laws, anti-American ideologue and anarchy. It is very improper to look through the lens of the present to understand Boko Haram. The fear that has held southern Nigerian (Igbos and Yorubas) in a contemplative mode on the foreseen instability of Nigeria.
Nigeria is an ideal country where religion and state should be entirely separated because of the polytheistic environment (Christianity+Islam+Traditional religions) thereby giving no favoritism towards any. The Northerners(mostly Muslim) have passed Sharia for their religious beliefs which the Southerners have agreed to as long as non-Muslims are not affected. Christians,Muslims and traditionalists have never imposed any their beliefs as a way of life on Nigeria and vice versa thereby separating religion from state affairs.
But Northern and West African Muslims since the advent of the Moor’s invasion of West Africa has envisioned an “Islamic African Continent”. Sudan(now separated to North and South), Somali Mali and Central African republic are facing religious conflicts recently due to the Muslims pushing for an Islamic state This idea has festered for centuries. Boko Haram has carried out the philosophy with tools of anarchy by kidnapping, murder, car bombings and suicide bombings. Thousands of people have died in the
Knowing Nigeria,I believe that Boko Haram is sponsored by some government officials, Islamic religious leaders, local sympathizers, Niger+Cameroon+Chad Muslim dissidents. I think Boko Haram is not directly linked with Al-Qaeda but more of a copycat group that even the evil Osama Bin Laden would be dismayed by the capture of the 300 girls.
America has be careful in coming into Nigeria because it is could result to Egypt , Libya and Syria ungovernable current situation. Boko Haram has caused havoc since the bombing of a United Nations building about four years ago. I think Nigeria should really consider the permanent solution of separating and forming two different countries and let Northern Nigeria live under their Sharia law while democracy continues in southern Nigeria. The oil wealth and financial institutions are situated in the south and that is the major reason why the Northerners will not agree to separation.

Television has been saturated with the arrest of Justin Bieber. Forget the nuclear deal process with Iran, the pressing United states immigration reform, Obama’s NSA speech, climate instability, fears on Russia’s Olympics security or even “Christie’s bridge scandal” ; ladies and gentlemen, we are going to talk about the Justin Bieber…. pure hilarity!!
Everyone has seen the above mugshot on the teenage heartthrob plastered all over every media channel in the world. This is another example of somebody with incomprehensible music potential stumbling in front our eyes. I will not focus on the crimes that were committed that night but focus on role models in our society
In this day and age of social media and reality television, people are becoming more narcissistic and materialistic without really realizing the essence of hardwork, perseverance, sometimes luck and God (if you are spiritually inclined). We all want some degree of money, success and fame; it is human nature. But we tend to forget the “how” and focus on “when” this degree of wealth is accumulated. The infamous Instagram is a way to showcase “materialistic proclivities”; rappers, reality stars, wannabes, celebrities showing off cars,clothes, club partying, money, private planes and jewelry with millions following, “liking” and commenting. it is all about “Look at me” or “You cannot afford this” or “I am rich and you are poor”. Reality television although entertaining is the worst guilty pleasure because it promotes narcissism, tasteless conversations and stereotypes blacks. As a Black man, it is often sad, this secular images are strongly depicted with black people than whites maybe it is because of racial inequality, poverty or even ignorant self indulgence but that it is another topic for another day. In my own right, I want to be very wealthy and successful but not materialistic and narcissistic.
Growing up, I was particularly fascinated with the likes of Albert Einstein, Howard Hughes, Marie Curie, Micheal Jackson, A Tribe Called Quest, Bill Clinton, Richard Feynman, Malcolm X, Galileo, Franklin Roosevelt, Bill Gates, Leonardo Da Vinci, Mother Theresa, Thomas Edison, Nelson Mandela, Patrice Lumumba and John Rockefeller. My diverse role models is not popular anymore in this day and age.The “role model” trend is shifting from people of integrity to people with expensive taste, fame and sometimes talent. Celebrities being part of your roll call of role model is not not bad but been the only part is bad. We should aspire to become scientists, engineers, businessmen and lawyers with a splash of “celeb-like glamour” through hardwork, schooling and patience. I am not asking for people to be nerds or geeks with no social lives but people should aspire to change the world and still enjoy the “finer things in life”. I hate when children and parents cried out on Justin’s behavior, we all realize that he is a young 19 year old kid, we should focus on been better than him not emulating him. His inner circle and parents are to be blamed to allowing him to a fault for his unruly behavior.He has surrounded himself with a bunch of “yes man”, “druggies” and “instagram fame whores”. The fame and wealth has festered in his world too long and primarily out of touch with everyday morals, discipline and civility. Fame and wealth does not buy common sense but sometimes begets more stupidity.
“I personally don’t aspire to be like my role models but I take some elements from them and supersede them in every venture in my life”.
FYI…This would be last time I would talk about a celebrity again..Lol
