Shine, Morning Star Shine!

Shine! Oh morning star shine
Morning star bright and sparkling
Brief your appearance be
But everlasting your impression live

Sparkle! Oh spring water
Spring water clear and clean
High or low your tide may be
You quench all thirst that be

Everlasting! Oh devine love
Love kind and gentle,
Rare, but forever pure
You filleth all heart thath seek

Clean! Oh breath of life
Breath fresh and deep
Bountiful and free abound
Life's most precious gift

Missiles on Wheels

Sadly, only a couple of weeks ago, I lost a close family friend in a ghastly car crash along the Lekki - Epe expressway, involving a commercial vehicle,  whose driver, probable drunk and driving without head lamps, ran across the road to the other side of the road, causing a head-on collision with her official vehicle. Every day, we see many commercial vehicles and tipper trucks, driving along the Lekki Expressway without head lamps at night.  I have seen a big truck drive on this road with two of its rear tires completely absent, and was rolling on bear reams. Believe it or not, the road safety officials are all over the place. Whether they themselves see these things or not is not left for me to say. Another very dangerous practice by commercial bus drivers along the Lekki - Ajah axis, is that they disconnect the fuel tank of their vehicle and use a plastic container which they keep at the booth of the vehicle with a hose connected directly to the engine.  This sam...

Let there be Peace in Bayelsa

It is a pity and indeed shameful that Bayelsans are busy fighting themselves while other States are pursing development with all vigour. The same thing happened during the Awolowo - cocoa era. While Awo was busy developing the West, other regions were busy engaging in political wrangling. Let us be wise and stop fighting. We should concentrate and seek ways of developing Bayelsa State. Presently, States like Lagos, Aqua Ibom, Cross Rivers, Enugu and some others are focused and are busy developing their towns and cities, and here we are busy fighting. The time will come again in future as it is now, when we have to give account of what we did with the resources available to us now. As usual with Nigerians, then, shall we again start putting the blame on the federal government? We have every opportunity now to move our people forward in the political, economical and fiscal arenas. I really pity us, because, I hear all kinds of degradating comments about how "we like en...

It is said that all fingers are not equal? That is very true when we talk about marriages and children. Many couples are blessed with children, while some others are not. Making babies impses great challenges. There are many reasons why some couples are unable to make babies. Some are of natural causes, others maybe self-inflicted or by accident. Whatever the case, understanding your situation is key, to enable you either live with or look for a solution. Whatever your situation, information remains vital to creating knowledge and understanding. There are some basic facts which for an ignorant person, may led to childlessness. Let us consider a few of such facts: Knowing when to have Sex for the purpose of making babies When is the right time to have intercourse if you want to make babies? Having sex for fun is not the same as sex for procreation. While you can have sex for fun whenever you want it, it is not the same thing when you want to make babies. Not knowing when to ...
