YOUR PERSONALITY (Simple does it)

Everyday in my life,i always appreciate late chief Mrs M.B omogunwa&this way i immortalise her.i could'nt have traded my primary school life with anytin in this world(thanks to my parent as well).speaking on your personality,i want everyone who wants to live a fulfilled life to know&learn from this text.Though,it sounds unrealistic to tell you that i had no experience @ MNPS as regards my classmates,but i love the fact i had no experience&this,i want to talk on.There's this question:Do you know or have you ever thought that you can be in a society where u presence will be greatly felt &this will be unknown to you.Most people in our society today do not know that they cherished than they can imagine. Now,i want everyone to know that you can never force anybody to like you,it is ur personality that will attract people to you (your character),this is because "simple does it".honestly,i don't need to show anybody that i'm very important to this generation because "i'm" and you know what?i do not agree with the assertion that we are "wasted Generation" according to some scholars.Really,i want all MOSA&general public to know that,on no reason should you accept that you are useless.There are two things that pose problem to human being in life;inferiority complex &insecurity(feeling that someone is superior than u do).these are enough to fall a man,no matter his high level of achievement.so get these off your life.it doesnt exist if only you believe. My candid advise is that,you that you're reading this should sit &think of what area of your life you need to adjust&make the appropriate correction.

NIGERIA @ 50……………

NIGERIA @ 50……………


WHERE ARE WE?

The political health of Nigeria is not the successful completion of elections and transition, coercive assumption of people`s mandate but positive attitude towards anti-corruption crusade and commitment to make a change in our political system through radical means. It is no doubt that the freedom of individuals is fundamental to Democracy. The rights to determine economic policy is not centralized and individuals are given precedence in the means of production: This also make it an incumbent for government to regulate prices.kl

Education is crucial in any society for the preservation of life of its member and maintenance of its social configuration. Education goes beyong literacy because it encompasses the process of physical and mental culture whereby a man`s personality is developed to the fullest. A man whose personality is fully developed is self discipline, responsible and such a man has the ability to keep its animal aspect in check. In other words, He is credible man, self radiant and self confident. His breath of mind enables him to exercise his freedom in such a manner as not to jeopardize the interest and freedom of others. It is therefore evident that our government lacks this and a justification to their dispassionate attitude towards education.

The other side of democracy is development. It is expected of to develop a habit of fostering development and a constant scale and not periodic elections which are mere squander of our hard earned resources. Nigeria needs a patriotic and fearless leaders who are bent ready to sacrifice all at its disposal to rehabilitate this country and wage a corrosive war against parasitic politicians and non-politicians. These processes are capable of instigating sacrifices which are inevitable but it is certain that there will be light at the end of the tunnel.

MY CHARGE FOR FELLOW MOSAITES;

It is not over until it is over. I want to advise you all to embrace education and make it a daily bread. Let`s be hardworking ,diligent and determined until our vision is actualized among that of over 140million Nigerian. Let`s not forget that a potential hero can end up a celebrated failure, if he pursues a career not meant for him. Therefore hold on to this 3Ws-Willing, Working and Winning as they serve as driving force. Also, whatever you have as your goal, aim and vision, envelop them with prayer and send them to the Almighty God.

In conclusion, it is a must to develop political will to arrest this socio-economic and political marsh. This will in long way re-direct our focus and assuage the “foreign fundamental orientation of consumerism” which has eaten deeply and the basis of our economy backwardness. The elites which are the promoter of our economic debacle must redirect their interest for the good of our great country and need a reorientation of the mind. We must resist any educational scheme which tends to develop our bodies fairly, our brains only partly, and tends to becloud our minds for this is only a design for our permanent enslavement and so the economy will remain enchained.

SECRETS OF RISK TAKING

SECRETS OF RISK TAKING


To succeed in life, you must be prepared to take risk. No one ever becomes great or super successful without taking risk. Success is delivered to you most times on a platter of risk. If you don’t take a calculated risk, you won’t succeed cowards are not recorded in the hall of fame.

Abraham Lincoln kept in taking various risks, although he failed at most of his attempts, he kept on and finally succeeded. He eventually became the president of the United states. Countless failure did not stop him from taking more and more risk. You cannot only run in your mind, you have to step out completely.

Success sis an adventure, it is daring the unknown. Daring to do the impossible bring good success.

A little boy goes to his Dad and asks, “what is politics” Dad says, “well, son let me try to explain it this way. I’m the bread winner of the family, so let’s call me capitalism. Your mom, she’s the administrator of the money so well call her the government. We’re here to take care of your needs, so we’ll call you the people. The nanny we’ll consider her the working class. And your baby brother we’ll call him the future. Now, think about that and see if that make sense. So the little boy goes off to bed thinking about what Dad has said.

Later, that might he hears his baby brother crying, so he gets up to check on him. He finds that the baby has sorted his diaper, so he little boy goes to his parents room and finds his mother sound asleep. Not wanting to wake her, he goes to nanny’s room finding the door locked, he peeks in the keyhole and sees his father in bed with the nanny. He gives up and goes back to bed.

The next morning, the little boy says to his father, “Dad, I think understand the concept of politics now”.

The father says; “God son tell me in your own words what you think politics is all about”.

LADIES CHANGE THE WAY YOU DRESS

LADIES CHANGE THE WAY YOU DRESS


It has now become a culture for ladies to dress half naked. We no longer believe that we are beautiful without exposing our nakedness, which is a wrong ideology.

Everybody is beautiful and important. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, that fact cannot be denied. So, why wearing provocative dresses? Do you know it is your flesh that tells you to expose your body just to attract the opposite sex. Yes the guys of course. Don’t tell me you dress to attract person(s) or the same sex. No that cannot be true.

Your body (i.e. the flesh) desires that the opposite se should admire it and the only way it could do t hat is to dress modestly. The woman though and foreing influence which has eaten deep into our culture and mode of dressing had be en taken wrongly which make us dress half-naked.

Ladies, it natural that your body yearn for touch or for admiration but for Gods sake, preserve that body for your God ordained spouse.

We seem to have forgotten the use of clothing. I think we have to educate ourselves on the use of clothing. The only reason why we have clothing is to cover our nakedness. There is this popular saying ‘when purpose is unknown, abuse is inevitable. The reason why ladies abuse the use of clothing is because they do not know the purpose.

Even in the beginning, when Adam and Eve sinned and were naked, the Bible told us that they saved fig leaves together and made themselves aprons because they were ashamed of being named. But nowadays, its no longer a shame for a lady to dress half-naked in the public. In fact it has become a phenomenon among ladies that if you don’t dress half naked, you are from the bush or referred to as a primitive lady.

What a shameless ideology. Abnormal thing have been made normal just to gratify the desire of the flesh.

Why can’t you wait till you move to your God ordained spouse where you can walk around the house and stop harassing innocent men by your way of dressing.

Remember, beauty does not consist in the display of ones nakedness neither does it consist in make-ups. Inner beauty speaks all around a lady. A lady with a sound character, will always dress well and will not forget that dressing modesty, is very important because it will make her look more respected, important and responsible. Don’t dress for where you are rather dress for where you are going and put in mind that the way you dress, is how you are going to be addressed.

A SURE FOUNDATION FOR ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE

The Lord-by wisdom lead the earth's foundations by understanding, he set the heavens by his understanding/knowledge the deeps were provided and the clouds let drop the dead: (Prov.3:19-29 Nov). God purposed the creation of man so that he could have dominion over all toerh creations but you cannot have dominion over something you do not surpass in wisdom and knowledge and understanding.

Hence, God intends that man should be like him even in these attributes (Gen 1:27). Inspite of mans wickedness, God did not remove man's dominion over all other creation, only Gods life of pleasure was shifted. The ball is therefore in your court to claim, which was your's from the very beginning. Therefore, choose to excel, exercise your free will to succeed. You will excel and succeed only if your choose to the unfortunate aspect of man's nation.

However, in that, when he has to choose he had either to have chosen or he had given up his choice thereafter. So, choose and make the correct choice. But make sure you have already chose Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour then it shall be well with you because Jesus gives abundant all encompassing life a direct access to God and success outside this life is a waste display your identity as a Christian so that nobody takes you for a ride, let everybody know that you do not accept rubbish.

VISION

Vision is defined in the dictionary as the ability to see the area that you can see from a particular position.


Vision in other wise means a dream either physically or spiritually. Vision is your dream and your dream is your goal. Your vision depends on what you will become tomorrow.

According to the bible, Habakkuk 2:2 when the lord is talking to Habakkuk which says “The lord tell the prophets write the vision and make it plan upon tables that he may run that readtt it”

And how can you achieve this vision? You can achieve this by setting up your goals and planning setting up a goal denotes what you intend to pursue in life uniform of carrier, profession and goals. It is not easy to identify ones goals but what you for is to put it down inform of putting it in paper but not only putting it in a paper but you must have to put it in mind so that you wouldn’t forget it. This illustrations by putting it in your left hand so that you wouldn’t eat with it.

And set up goals to discover it them you am know plan toward it the primary goals for a students is by passing his/her exams. He/she must plan how to read his/her text raily weekly. By doing so, you have set a goal for yourself with adequate planning which will make you to achieve your goal in life easily.

In addition try to plan big by looking to the future and not the past. Your vision would come to limelight when you trust in God.

There is a quote that goes thus “A visionless nation is a fail nation likewise A visionless people is a failure”. Take for example some years back Columbus discover Americans while searching for a route to Indian. So you too can take a due from this by taking a look out for the Americans in your path which means that you too have a discovering on your path you are taking. So do like columbine to discover your own vision.

In conclusion, children know that God’s vision is the most important thing which you must put in mind and begin to run with his plan.

DON’T GIVE UP

DON’T GIVE UP


Failure is never final and success is never ending. You have failed doesn’t mean you can’t achieve greatness in life. Failure does not mean that you are not trying i.e reading and working but the best is yet to display.

An adage says quitters never win and winners never quit. You predicaments are just stepping stones to your success. People fail to progress in life because they give up too soon. If you give up your targets vision and dreams will be totally buried.

The day may look dark and dreary still success lies ahead. You are not a failure until you give up and quit pursuing your goal. When failure falls your ways and the future tends to weary your mind don’t give up because progress and greatness are awaiting you.

Even when you study for success in stress and sorrow without support don’t accept failure because you are destined to make a difference in life. When disappointment dampens you discovering day penury plagues your progress and poverty pre-clouds you prospects don’t give up but rather be diligent and persistent in all your doings. It appears that you labour with all your strength and efforts and everything resulted to nothing don’t give up but keep on trying because you will soon achieve your goal in life. You can only stop failure by having adequate preparation towards all your endeavours. Don’ts allow anything to tamper with what you have determine to achieve in life because with God all things are possible. Majority of out leaders today have once failed before they could obtain riches, fame and greatness.

THE OSOORO’S

THE OSOORO’S


Origin of the LUMURE’S, JOOLA’S, AKOKO’S & LEMEIGHA’S

History has it that one of the important chiefs and princes that left Edo with the Abodi was Lumure who decided to stay in the area around the present “Ayeka after Abodi left Irele area and was wandering all over the present Ikale land on his way to Ife. He became the head or oba of his followers and subsequent obas who succeeded his assumed the title of LUMURE.

One of the LUMURE’s son married a daughter of the ABODI at Ikoya kekekte. Her name was MARARU OMOGUNLE Maraolu as reported to be the most beautiful and attractive to several men. She married and gave birth to sons for three different obas first to oba LUMURE of AYEKA’s son called Jagbelegun for when she had a son called Omojuwa. The descendants of Omoguwa are the Lumure of Osooro. Next for whom she had a son called Ademolu for whom she had a soncalled OJOROLALA. She also married one Emegha of the oba of Benin who was then living in a village protected by Orofun and Kusu. The real name of Emegha was olori Uwen which later became his known title

Thus, maraolu gave birth to three sons for three different obas-Jagbelegun for Lumure, Ojorolala for oloro, Ikupadehi later known as LEMEGHA for Emegha wear orofun and kusu (she infact had a daughter called LADERE for Emegha). the famous and the eldest of the three sons was Omojuwa grand-son of LUMURE.

Adereolu the Oloro of Oro migrated from his original homestead to OKA near Ondo where he left some of his followers (His descendants later settled at lyanson) the thereafter came to Aye to see the italic where he, Adereolu met Maraolu, the beautiful daughter of the Abodi.

They fell in love and she gave birth a male child named Jorolala before he Adereolu went back to Oka Eventually Jorolala was taken away to Oka by father. After several years Jorolala left Oka to look for his brother Jagbulegun it whom their mother MARAOLU was staying. By this time Omojuwa with his father Jagbulegun had left Ayeka and had settled at Ikoya kekere with the Abodi and his maternal grand-father. So Jorolala joined Jagbulegun at Ikoya kekekre (now known as Abusoro deped with their mother.

Whenever an eldest son of a oba of Benin ascends the throne of his father, the other princes were regarded as counselors to the oba or Emegha oba. One of the obas of Benin had a war lerd called AGUNARAN who did not give due recognition and respect to the Emeghes.

This was said to be the immediate cause why Olori Uwen Alara Etikan and Aheri all emeghes left Eds kingdom and settled for sometime at more by the Atlantic ocean coast which was part of the territory of the olugbo.

YOUR DREAM ALONE

YOUR DREAM ALONE


You continue to remain

At the epicenter

Of your centre

With no room

For another



You write your own scores

You listen

To your own symphonies

All alone

You craft your circle

In which you cultivate

Your heaved

This web of solitude

Around yourself

This nature

Which I find so strange



You hold us mesmerized

As onlookers

You dream alone

Because to share in them

Will take the glory from you

So, you continue to dream alone
