IT TAKES PERSISTENCE




"Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan Press On! has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race."

~ Calvin Coolidge



PERSISTENCE

The fact of continuing in an opinion or course of action in spite of difficulty or opposition.

You are almost there, hold on, your change is coming!

THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHITHER THE STRUGGLE PT2

THE KAIAMA DECLARATION 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT Part 2 Based on the foregoing, we, the youths of Ijawland hereby make the following resolutions to be known as the Kaiama Declaration: THE RESOLUTIONS 1. All land and natural resources (including mineral resources) within the Ijaw territory belong to Ijaw communities and are the basis of our survival. Have we reclaimed our land? Bayelsa State that can be said to be a Homogenous Ijaw State has not been reclaimed from the Predators we call politicians that had filled their Bank Accounts, acquired properties in Choice Cities (we hitherto grudge they have developed with our Oil Money) and squander our wealth just like the oppressors use to do. Can any of the Politicians that have served in Bayelsa State, Truly Honestly in the comfort of their Glorious bedrooms say “I did my best for my people”? 2. We cease to recognise all undemocratic decrees that rob our peoples/communities of the right to ow...

THE APC AND THEIR MANY LAME EXCUSES

Image
There are several excuses that the Ruling All Progressive Congress APC and President Mohammadu or Mohamed (from the published but not verified school certificate Result) Buhari and his dyed-in-the-wool supporters ‎had continued to bandy around even after one year in office. But like Scott Spencer noted “The trouble with excuses, however, is that they become inevitably difficult to believe after they’ve been used a couple of times.” The excuses are not only unbelievable, they are simply lame! Let’s look at some of the popular excuses EXCUSE No. 1: WHAT THE PDP DESTROYED IN SIXTEEN YEARS CANNOT BE REPAIRED IN ONE YEAR! The proponents of this line of argument posit that the Peoples Democratic Party PDP that held power at the center since 1999 when reigns of leadership was returned to Civilians from the Military (we forgot that so soon) only destroyed the Country.

DEAR POLITICIAN; WHAT ARE YOU NEGLECTING? 5

WHAT WILL YOU BE REMEMBERED FOR? “Live the way you want to be remembered” ~ purehappylife.com Perhaps it has not crossed your mind, perhaps you have not given it serious thought, perhaps, perhaps, perhaps. Life is transient is obvious, position much more, but many politicians carry on like they have a remote control for life and death and are too busy acquiring wealth and possessions to be concerned about legacy. But you have to, you must begin to think about what you will be remembered for? Nehemiah said “Remember me, O my God, for good, according to all that I have done for this people.” ~ Nehemiah 5:19 MEV Unfortunately, most of the things we labor for – The Houses, Exotic Cars, Trips abroad etc do not count as legacy. You see you’ve been laboring for the wrong things and for the wrong reasons perhaps. Chief Obafemi Jeremiah Oyeniyi Awolowo GCFR (6 March 1909 – 9 May 1987) as a politician is not remembered for his personal possession but for what he did for his peo...
