THE BLISS CALLED PEACE!!!

By

It began like every normal day, I was at work when I got a call from one of my neighbours asking if I was home and how things were and telling me that some “MEN” took off from our junction to burn down some police stations in town.

Well, I started calling my wife for over a thousand times and she didn’t pick my calls. That was when the adrenaline rush began.I ran into my car and sped off with only one destination on my mind – Home.
I really cant imagine what was going on in my mind as I drove home  even though at the back of my mind  I had this knowing which I really cant explain that all was well, but then the humanity and frail side which always wanted to know beyond a shadow of a doubt had set my mind on autopilot.

Driving past the only way that led to my house, I saw police barricade and quickly drove past them before they’d completely cordon off the area. I saw people motioning me to leave the road and park at one side but I didn’t even hear what they said.It was after like 20 seconds that I knew why – bullets were flying like rain as I drove past the bullet haze on the police side and on I drove towards the side were the “MEN” stood and were exchanging the gunfire with the police officers.

Imagine my surprise when I passed through this torrential bullet rains and got home only to find my wife and kids playing happily outside and only one thought crossed my mind – Ignorance is bliss.

As we mark one year after the aftermath of the #EndSARS protests and the lives that were lost that period, as citizens, we should work in a concerted effort to ensure that above all odds peace reign supreme.
My heart leaped with joy when I read that Mazi Nnamdi Kanu was eventually brought to court because it signified atleast a few weeks of peace in the Southeast region of Nigeria where the economy has been brought to a standstill since he was taken into custody while hoping that events don’t spiral out of control. 

For those of us who witnessed the chaos that almost slipped into anarchy in the aftermath of the EndSARS protests in 2020, it is my sincere hope that we wont see a repetition because indeed peace is constantly under rated.

People love bad news People love to hear bad news about others And yes, people love to spread bad news about others! Nigerian Actress Angela Okorie has been online ranting, from one person to the other. This person is bad, The other person is a killer Today it's Mercy Johnson and her mother who are witches and turn people into goat. Someone you claim to have been close to? Everybody around you is bad and you're the only good one? Sometimes people try to trash talk another because they either feel intimidated, are envious, or feel they're in some form of competition. It's only a handful of times that you get the truth. You talk trash about people and say it's boldness and you're calling them out with your full chest?

Bingo on the lose

My people, I was taking my daughter to school when I heard sounds of feet behind me and a man making a call signal. I turned to see what was going on, only to find a correct dog right behind me. Hmmmmmm my mouth opened on its own accord, next thing I knew, doors were flying open because the way my screaming pierced the air, ahhhhhhhhhhhh! The man started apologizing profusely, saying the dog just took off the minute he opened his door. And everyone went into their rooms as per, normal occurrence. Since I set foot in the Dublin, I think dogs are dragging numbers with humans. Everywhere you turn, someone has a dog and you need to see how protective they are about it. They smile and tell you 'Don't worry, he/she is friendly and loves to play' Then they pause with their dog and wait for you to rub the dog. It's considered impolite and somewhat rude when you don't. I opened the lift today to find one gigantic dog and the owner staring it me. Semi human and sh...
