We Tend To Get It Wrong: Money Gives Enjoyment, But Not Happiness.

I called a pal of mine just to check on him. I greeted him with a hello, he answered with a very low voice, then I asked, "what's going on? Seems you are not fine". He started laughing, "I'm bored" he replied. I started laughing, he joined me. Then, I said to him, "I'm happy I made you laugh, at least you are a lot better now that how your voice was when you answered the phone". He giggled.

Some Boys Try And Some Boys Lie, But I Don't Let Them Play

Some boys kiss me, some boys hug me
I think they're O.K.
If they don't give me proper credit
I just walk away

They can beg and they can plead
But they can't see the light, that's right
'Cause the boy with the cold hard cash
Is always Mister Right, 'cause we are

Know Your Audience!

Atimes we are quiet because we need to get the best in us out whenever we're ready to break the silence. Being quiet is just a way to chillax and reflect while we are being active and productive calmly. Life is a college, we learn each day. With experience, we tend to know what to announce and what not to. It's all about knowing the right people to target and connect with on one to one communication. Not everyone is useful for your product and services, not all must know what you are doing or about to do, and not all are interested anyway.

Protect Yourself From ill Wishers And Burglars

Truly some of us are more security conscious than the others. It's not safe to take pictures at your door front, showing your door number; then went down the road to snap another picture showing your postcode and probably the street name, even without the street name, the postcode plus the door number will do the job well. Then you posted all on social media.

"Rest In Peace"

I have read and seen hundreds of thousands of 'rest in peace'; people often think about what happen to their friends and family after death, and not particular about what is happening now on this planet earth that we are sure and know of.

Why just rest in peace, why not 'Live In Peace'? I believe we should be more particular about living in peace than resting in peace, I do also believe that, living in peace will automatically come with resting in peace.

Real Love Teaches Submissiveness

Real love has taught me to be submissive. When you are loved and feel it, there will be no power struggles, you'll be powerless in fights and arguments, but strong in love.

Nothing To Do But Lift My Head

As I lay me down,
Heaven hear me now.
I'm lost without a cause
After giving it my all.

Winter storms have come
And darkened my sun.
After all that I've been through
Who on earth can I turn to?

I Could Have Been Burnt To Death In The Heart of Lagos

The unpleasant news of a child that was burnt to death in Nigeria yesterday took me back to one of my holidays in my fatherland; I guess the trip was in Summer 1990.

Coded Name For Mistress/Paramour is Family Friend

One of the exquisite places in Nigeria then, for sure must be top 5. Being that Isofin Estate was owned by West Africa Portland Cement (WAPCO), the richest cement company in West Africa at the time. It was decorated with everything good you can think of; from swimming pool to tennis court, guest and resident bars, staff quarters, nice greenery, beautiful street lights... it was a place I can call little Spain then, a luxurious mini town. Well equipped, well laid out, neatly planned and sweetly designed. Trust me, I'm thinking of going there to check how it looks like now.

The Strength To Carry On

Nigeria's Independence Day: Let It Be A Happy One

Arise, O compatriots

Nigeria's call obey

To serve our fatherland

With love and strength and faith

The labour of our heroes past

Shall never be in vain

To serve with heart and might

One nation bound in freedom

Peace and unity.

Oh God of creation

Direct our noble cause

Guide our leaders right

Help our youth the truth to know

In love and honesty to grow

And living just and true

Great lofty heights attain

To build a nation where peace

And justice shall reign.

The Face Behind The Mask: Chief Okey Dyke Ikeme

When we see a gifted person, we know. Actually what I see in Chief Ikeme is not just the gift, but the heart of gold that he has. He believes in giving back to the community, he has been donating  and supporting non profitable organisations and governments for a very long time; he started over 20 years ago in Nigeria, the passion didn't die in him, he continued in Germany, now still in love with what he does in England, by showcasing African Culture and promoting Arts.

Okechukwu D. Ikeme (okey Dyke) a Biafran, was born in Amaigbo in Imo State, Nigeria. His artistic talents and inclinations were discovered in his tender age by his parents who wasted no time in encouraging and sending him to a school where he could pursue the career of his choice - Fine and Applied Arts. He studied Fine and Applied Arts at the Alvan Ikoku College of  Education in Owerri, Imo State, and University of Port Harcourt in Rivers State in Nigeria between 1985 -1992 and specialized in Painting. He showed a lot of enthusiasm and hard work by participating in first Arts and cultural  exhibition in Abuja, Nigeria in 1992 . 

He is a registered artist and the founder and CEO of Creative Corner Gallery Ltd (Nigeria) since 1992. He exhibited his works in Nigeria and some African countries and also in Germany , UK and some European countries . His works are symbolic and speak for the environment. He beliefs that "Art is life and life is art".

He will be masquerading, dancing and drumming at MBE 2016 in Manchester, England.
