The Elders May Sometimes Be Wrong!!!

Hmm, the quote that says "elders are always right"
Can be annoying especially when you are right
or if you didn't do anything wrong
It has a way of protecting their ego
And never make them admit their fault

There is a saying which goes thus
"To achieve great things, you need to take risks"
But there is never the opportunity for the risk

If you create such opportunity and take the risk,
You are either scolded, punished or shut down
And that's how they kill the upcoming generation's dream
Yet they expect us to make a difference

Life is full of competitions that starts from your home
When your words are only counted important
When you have a good grade or the best in school
But how does that affect taking life decisions?

School doesn't teach you what you need; It only shows you the way
You are only killing the person's esteem; If you shut him/her down
And the child will never know the worth of what he/she carries

Transferred aggressions doesn't change the future
Or make you feel better, it only makes things worse
You yourself wouldn't have peace of mind
It only makes you feel like you've satisfied your conscience
But for a short while and only impose fear

Fear only kills relationship and not build it
Fear kills communication and progress
Fear kills self -esteem and courage

No child is born perfect
neither is there any child without flaws
Each child has it strength and weaknesses

The parent's job is to bring a balance
And not rob the weakness to the child's face
Like he Is the one that created himself

Don't fill our minds with you create your future
Because a future made without Christ is void
It is a void achievement that amounts to nothing
Not even happiness, because humans are never satisfied

Children this shouldn't make you rebellious
Because you will only worsen the case
And will end up in a lifetime of regret

See this as a training and be disciplined
Endure the hardship and persevere
Remember you are in a bus

whom the father is a driver and the mother, a conductor
You have a bus- stop to drop so while you are in;
Observe the flaws and go back to your sketch boards
And see how you can make your bus better and more preferred
This is the only way we can do better than them in life
And be more successful in the nearest future to come

Independence Day

Tonight, I come with a vision A solution to our nation's destruction I'm here to create a revolution Saying "enough of all the complaint without result" But to urge our fathers who have endured much To endure yet a little more For the emergence of the New Generation of Leaders Leaders who are taught the rudiments of service To be faithful, loyal and honest;with integrity as our breastplate To serve Nigeria not out of compulsion nor necessity But from a Heart of selflessness and Purity A Leader whose good deeds have been from childhood And not in momentum towards election A Leader who is not shady but chooses to be naked before our eyes A Leader who can withstand the pressure of filthy heads and subordinates A Leader whose actions would speak louder than his words For the great Napoleon Hill said "Great achievement is born of great sacrifice, And Is never the result of selfishness. " So we seek for a resurrection Taking that bold step to die daily to corruption For such dreams wouldn't be achieved at once But by taking the first step towards greatness Because a man who wants to uproot a mountain Must start by removing the little rocks around it We must be ready to be patriotic unto death Enough blood has been shed for the cleansing of the land The likes of MKO Abiola, Muritala Muhammed etc.. Yet their sacrifices have been laid to waste But it is never too late to begin the race So I say to you, welcome to the new era An era of change and cleansing A change that starts from today A change that starts from you For you are the change Nigeria awaits. Happy Independence Day!!!
