Think.

It's very easy to think. All you need to do is think.

I mean, just think. Use that grey matter, stimulate it.

Wake it up. Not with drugs o. Not with gbana or powder.

Read. Genuinely seek information. Seek genuine information.

Deliberately filter the nonsense flying about in the media.

Don't swallow all that you read. Spin masters are good at weaving lies

Into the fabric of truth and vice versa.

Trust me, I know this.

The joke is on you if you swallowed it all. The joke is on you

Because you have allowed your brain to sleep. The joke is on you

Because you are mentally lazy.

The joke is absolutely on you.

The mediocrity you support is gone and you hurt badly so.

The waste is over and for this you cry.

The stupidity is no more and you can't stand it.

The past is gone, so deal with it.

Is it uhuru yet? No it's not.

Have we left Egypt? Yes we have.

Are we at the Red Sea? Definitely we are.

Will we turn and go back to Egypt? No we won't.

Will we move forward, most definitely.

Will there be the wilderness experience? Yes there will be.

Will we survive it? You bet we will.

Will we hunger and thirst along the way? We will.

But just so you know, we will be fed.

Fed in the most sumptuous way. Fed with the best of meals.

Fed with the choicest food. Fed all the way.

Fed through and through.

Even in the wilderness, there will be food for us.

Don't be an Achan, don't be a Dathan.

Avoid the Korah label. Make sure you don't become Abiram.

They all ended badly. Search the scriptures.

The answers are there. I tell you the truth.

Look not to the fruitless past.

Crave not the wasted years.

Desire not the years of aimlessness. They are gone. Behind you.

Not to be remembered. Not to be missed.

Look forward. Move forward.

One step at a time. One day at a time.

The promised land beckons. We will get there.

I will get there. You can get there. The choice is yours.

Hey you, yes you. Don't look back, I'm talking to you.

When was the last time you spoke to that your brother, your sister? When?

Oh, so you had a misunderstanding? And so? He/she didn't apologize? And so?

Because of that you blocked him/her? Are you serious at all?

Do you not know that blood is thicker than water?

Will you stop giving me excuses? What are you high on?

Who have you been listening to?

Wait; let me ask you this question: have you started using powder?

Not talcum powder o, I mean powder like... Yes!!!! You got it, have you?

Another one; do you sniff? Not like when u have cold o,

I mean sniff emm, emm... You are sharp, you got it.

And you don't hug green bottle? You don't.

 Ok so what's making you swell like puff puff?

Or abi na bread Agege wey fall inside water?

Why are your shoulders high when you didn't use shoulder pad?

Arghhhhhhhhh!!!! I know!!!! “Igberaga ti wo e lewu fa”!!!

You are "prouding"!!!!! Hmmmmm. I pity you.

If he/she dies now you wee start crying abi?

What shall we call such tears? “Ekun eke”.

Crocodile tears. You wee start rolling all over the floor

Shouting and screaming like a demented demon.

Oh, did you just say you will not cry? You won't miss him/her?

Oh, you have no conscience? Was that how daddy raised you?

Was that what mummy taught you? See, “o tin gbo ohun awon aiye”.

What killed your conscience? What seared your heart?

What turned you into a machine? And you pray daily right?

Oh, you are even a worker in church? Arghhhhhhhhh!!!! Lo ba tan o.

Ok, recite the Lord's Prayer let me hear. Ok, ok, yes, continue.

Oya stop there; repeat that part again.... 

Can you see that as much as that part is a prayer it can be a curse too?

Hmmmmm, na you de do yourself, no one de do you.

“Kokoro tin je efo e, ara efo e lo wa”.

I pray you won't destroy yourself with needless hate.

For what? Over what?  Me I've said my own.

Feel free to stop talking to me but I know my words will ring in your ears endlessly.

The ball is in your court. Selah.
