Happy birthday my mum

Mama Megbo aka Iya Tolu (as i always call you when in a good and teasing mood)
It is another year for you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. 
I sat and decided to write about you on your day and celebrate you.
I am totally grateful and glad to have you as my sweet mother... When your thought comea to mind, so many different memories come to mind—memories that will live in my head and heart forever and ever till the end of this world.
The things I remember MOST about you: you were/are ALWAYS there for me no matter what the circumstances, no matter how terrible my mood was (trust me I had terrible ones) no matter what time of day or night.  You have shown me complete acceptance, love, and understanding.  Anytime I need you, you always made time for me.  I can boast anyday that you always got my back.  You have no idea how comforting that has been in my life. You taught me how to love unconditionally and always have an open heart even when hatred or resentment is shown to you. I have seen further evidence of this unconditional love in the way that you show such love, patience and commitment with everyone around you and especially with the motherless babies in the home.
As a kid, I remember always running after you everywhere... I remember the kitchen door was made as a barrier for me.... smiling face. I remember the travelling days from abuja and then from Lagos to Abeokuta.. Distance wasn't a barrier to keep you from your roles. You worked even harder to be a great Mom, wife, sister and friend to all. You taught me to give my best in all my endeavours in life. When I come to you with hard decisions in my life and feel confused about what to do, you never stop listening, you hear my concerns, and then ask the key question “what do you think you should do and your key statement - you need to get closer to God ?” before offering guidance or advice. You have instilled in me the thinking spirit and the fear of God
I see now that I wouldn’t have been able to be as matured or independent to the point I am now if it weren’t for the unyielding support that I felt from you and Dad. Thank you isn’t enough.
I remember in my childhood and into my adulthood how dogged you have been. You believe anything is possible if you set your mind to it and YOU lived this…you lived this in the way that you have never given up on your health, family, religion and any thing you set out to do.  You lived this in the way that you turned out to be an amazing person " Super Woman" despite very challenging circumstances along the way.  You lived this in the way that you have stayed committed through the ups and down of your marriage and set an amazing example for the rest of us. 
Thank you for showing me what love, commitment and family is all about. 
I love you Mom and Happy Birthday to you. 
I wish you long life and prosperity.  Everything good you desire and deserve would be your portion.
Cheers to a better life ahead.

Are you a female or a woman

My mind has been seriously active again for some days. However, it has experienced some form of cohesiveness and structure. It has also chosen to take a dimension of analyzing, praise ascribing and generally making comments about the FEMALE gender.

My boss once said : The world is filled with FEMALES but devoid of WOMEN. Deep talk. I stood for days trying to understand what this means but lo and behold after various interactions, experiences and readings. I have come to a full understanding of the deep talk.

Chilling in the office waiting for system upgrade and repairs whilst watching the democracy day, my mind pondered again and kept wandering as I saw the joy on the face of certain great women.

Having read about the First Ladies of the President and Vice President , I have derived some lessons which i think our modern day women/females should imbibe
- You need to stay humble
- You must stay focused and 
- ALWAYS respect your men

You cant help but give kudos to Mrs Osinbajo and Hajia Aisha Buhari for standing by their husbands. #GreatWomen. I make bold to say my last statement considering we are in a world that WOMEN are fighting to be MEN but MEN are only fighting for DOMINANCE as MEN. Now where is the problem from? uhmmmm I surely have an answer but what is your own view and answer...

I believe women are stronger, more intelligent and more determined than men. The women who stand out don't let this get into their heads. A woman who sees herself smarter than her man and everyone around and decides to exercise this power/intelligence and strength would end up sad/miserable e.g. the last administration. ( this my mind can sub people sha). Anyways, I didn't mention names..

..... pause I sense you are already filling the gap for names that qualify . lol

A highly opinionated woman cant but bring reproach 2 herself , the society and husband in the long run. Live examples exist in the immediate past administration. You this mind. You are on your own with all these subs.  Anyways let me state some obvious facts and possibly lessons from interactions with various men.

No man deserves to be trusted but MEN deserve respect and benefit of Doubt. Now what does this even mean sef? Question upon question exists on this alone.
A man that puts food on your table, buys you gifts, allows your decisions to stand most deserves at least a little regard and respect

Now to time travelling, my mind can travel dont forget. I remember my days of been a socialite, you see married men and single guys behaving any how. My findings then and even now is that an average wayward man became like that because of a female gender. As a matter of figures, I believe that over 50% would be attributed to EGO destruction effected by a woman . Females/Women are indeed very strong..... Coming back from the time travelling, no one should put all blame on the women/female gender because you have a right to act appropriately despite all.


I have met with men and also share in the view that - Every man wants to return home to a wife and not a BOSS. So are you the boss in the home? If yes, you better start allowing your husband feel like the boss... Mark my words "feel".... This is because a really wise Woman would be the boss in the background.

The EGO of a man is the greatest weapon of control . You rubbish it and everyone is miserable but you rub/massage it and its maximum bliss. So you better find a way to manage your mans ego. Indeed, I have witnessed the abuse of very many MEN in this generation. 

My conclusion is I miss the true mothers that raised some of us in this generation and can only hope the mostly female gender can become Women.

The question you need to ask yourself is Are you a Female or a Woman? I hope my mind has been able to communicate and make you consider your actions and ways. Please ask the right questions and take necessary actions.

Till the next time when my mind shares its thoughts, stay refreshed....

It is a New year

It’s a new year and I am in the reflective mode. My mind has been on thanksgiving /stock taking mode since the beginning of December 2014 till date.

Pause …………..

2014 was such an eventful year. Negatives, positives, the usual and in short victories and testimonies. Some of the testimonies are:

Journey mercies on the Lagos-Ibadan Expressway, Abeokuta and even protection during the air travels throughout the year for myself, wife and our family members. On this same death traps called road, I have seen and heard about lives lost but God was gracious enough to protect and keep us. The air flights nko, planes missing and crashed, in all God was good and he kept us.

Preservation of my life, my wife (big smile). Yes you heard me right, my wife - another testimony that happened within the year. I got married to an Angel (winks).

Various celebrations in the family – weddings, expansions, promotions, transformations, job change, miracles unexplainable etc.

I am also very grateful for the achievements as well as the failures of 2014. Indeed 2014 was a special year.

Pause …………..

I remember making some resolutions last year. I did well with them though but this year I have chosen to do it differently. I have only one resolution. I am sure you are wondering whether I would say things such as: I would stop drinking, I would go to more parties this year, I would make more money, etc .

Pause …………..
I have realized the truth about resolutions especially when it is a long list. You end up not achieving them. My resolution for 2015 is therefore simply put to be HAPPY everyday no matter what life throws at me.






Now to the cheeky part, to be happy I have to be in good health, family life has to be on point, my spiritual standing needs to be better, need to make more money etc …..Am sure you can now see that the bottom line of the various resolutions made is to be happy. This is exactly what I am going to do.
To do this I am undergoing goal setting which must be measurable and would ENSURE ALL THROUGH THIS YEAR I DAILY COUNT MY BLESSINGS and REMAIN HAPPY.

I implore you to do same.

I didn’t intend to make this a long article because I just wanted to WISH EVERYONE A HAPPY NEW YEAR which has come to give us a fresh hope for a brighter future.

Pause ………….. Chei ….. My mind and it’s over working nature.

Below are my wishes for the New Year:
·        May all our dreams turn into reality and all our efforts turn into great achievements.
·        May the good times live on in our memories and may we learn lessons from the troubling times that will make us stronger and better than ever.
·        May the year 2015 be like a blank book that is waiting for our involvement to fill up its 365 pages with all the colors under the sun making it a vibrant addition to our life.
·        May the New Year 2015 give us loads of reasons to celebrate and have wonderful days that are filled with laughter and fun.

Happy New Year

“LETTER TO THE GOVERNMENT”


Now the year is coming to an end and another election is around the corner. We have started hearing all sorts. In Nigeria, a country I call and most people call the “The Israel of Africa” – election time is characterized by failed promises, betrayals, accusations, assassinations, blame shifting, name calling, decamping and the negative list continues. This is so sad, I remember how as a Nigerian, I looked forward to the last American elections especially the period before the election (3-6 months pre-election). This period you witness the most sophisticated debates and promises/ itemizing the plans/ objectives of the administration. A society where you know what parties stand for.
Pause …………..

Uhmmmm. In Nigeria, during the military administration, we knew it was a boss and servant relationship (clearly defined). In the civilian rule which involves party systems, you can’t pinpoint what the parties stand for. This is a very pathetic situation. I ask myself what does PDP stand for? What does APC (amalgamation of CPC and CAN) stand for? What does APGA, SDP, LP, NRC etc. all stand for?
Am sure, there would be answers provided by the various leaders. The issue isn't the answer provided but what is exemplified in the various administrations/leadership tenures at various local, state and federal levels.
Pause …………..

My mind is very busy once again and this time its thinking in the direction of what an average Nigerian expects from the Government. To this end, it has drafted a mail/letter to the government.
Pause …………..
THE LETTER TO THE GOVERNMENT
The Inner Chambers,
Of the average Nigerian Heart,
Every day, Every Month, Every year.

The Government,
Local, State and Federal levels

Dear sir/ma,

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: OUR EXPECTATIONS 

It is a rare privilege to be given the opportunity to communicate the pains of many hearts to the government of the country. My heart/mind weeps daily and this has been affirmed by other Nigerians I have had communications with at various times. To this end, my heart/mind has taken the mantle of communicating the relatively obvious/pronounced pains on the heart/mind of various Nigerians both home and abroad.
Pause …………..

Time travel reminds me vividly of the campaign in 1993, at a point when we had two prominent parties SDP (Social Democratic Party) and NRC (National Republican Convention). The two candidates MKO Abiola (SDP) and Bashir O Tofa had a presidential debate which was heated and it felt like there was hope for Nigeria. They stated and talked about plans to do a lot of things such as education, electricity, health etc. ……

Pause …………..
Take a deep breath and this is 2014, the government and various candidates of the parties have the same plans as that of 1993 (21 long years after). This is very sad and pathetic. However, our needs haven’t changed and there is a need for constant reminder to people in leadership/government.

Pause …………..
Its 54 years after independence and we are still called a “Developing nation”. I actually feel this should be changed to “Underdeveloped” because we aren’t static instead we are getting worse. Look around. We cannot boast of excellent roads or better still roads devoid of potholes/ death traps. I have journeyed across various states and it’s the same in almost all part of the nation. Once, I asked who was responsible for the construction of a road and the response provided was “The road is a Federal Road”. As a citizen, I don’t want to be concerned with whose responsibility it is. State, Local or Federal government are supposed to offer service to the entire populace. Another pathetic response we don’t want to hear is the fact that the state is governed by PDP, APC, CAN, APGA, SDP or whatever nomenclature the parties have, we just want functional motor-able roads as opposed to existing death traps.

Pause …………..
I watch the news and in my journeys to other parts of the world, I see light trains, trains, water jetties, structured road transport system. I ask myself the question, don’t our leaders see all these when they travel. I and so many other Nigerians want to be able to sit at home and book a train ticket because I don’t want to drive. Please give us functional alternative sources of transportation.
Some years back we could boast of being a peaceful country in the midst of the multiple terror and violence that exists in the world. Right now, we are swarmed by TRIBAL and RELIGIOUS conflicts, which were the trademark of primitive societies in past eras. From one group or the other, (I am trying not to mention any group’s name), we lie miserably in the grip of terror, unsure of when the next bomb/explosive will go off or when the next machete will be swung violently/disastrously. Violence/terrorism has now become a typical part of the day in Nigeria, we have gotten so used to the news of bomb-blasts – very pathetic situation. Kidnapping is another major issue. The number of young girls, and people generally that have been captured/kidnapped cannot be provided by any one. A situation that is appalling.  These insecurity issues are too much, we just need a safe and secure society.

Pause …………..
My heart and mind stops and skips a bit at the rate in which the questions and issues of the country just keep increasing. Then my mind/heart instructed my hand to check Google – “the great oracle that knows a lot” and search for Nigerian problems.
Uhmmmmm. So amazing, the list of problems as stated by various individuals and groups. However, my mind became attached to a write up by one Nigerian which I chose to add to this write up. It states:

And so, why is Nigeria like this? Ask a million Nigerians and you will get a million reasons. Nigerians, it must be said, are very good at identifying problems. We’re all experts at discussing “the trouble with Nigeria”. Nobody can take that away from us. The only setback is that we usually don’t proffer solutions. Ironically, you hardly find Nigerians who are ready to accept that they are part of the problem—or even part of the solution. (Olusegun Adeniyi wrote recently that everybody is fighting corruption—at federal, state and local government levels—and that leaves you wondering who is actually doing the corruption. I’m still laughing.) It stands to reason, however, that your perception of the problems will influence your choice of solutions.


Pause …………..
Public schools are a study in deterioration. Our hospitals are like an incurable disease. Our international airports are a journey into chaos. We have an airport in Nigeria currently with faulty conveyor belts. I imagine a foreign investor coming into the country and this is the first experience he/she gets. This is really sad.
Civil/Public service is a gutter of decay, the epitome of inefficiency and extortion. We wear corruption like an adornment and exhibit various loots like a gold medal from an Olympic. You can hardly get anything done in the private or public sector without partaking in corruption. We need our amenities fixed. As for corruption it starts with you and me.
We need good schools that function with the right amenities in place. We are tired of a situation where private education and the need to send children abroad for educational purposes become paramount in the hearts of parents. A venture that is so expensive and also encouraging the exportation of our national talents. I sit back and think of the number of Nigerian talents sent away due to lack of so many things in the nation. A saying I am familiar with points to the fact that “the people are the greatest asset of a society”. We ask that the government to invest in Education and research. Give us a good educational system.
There are a lot of things to talk about but I am trying so hard to keep it short for the sanity of my mind and to avoid sounding too negative.

Pause …………..
In the cause of my thinking, I get a debit alert from my account and my heart skips. I am sure you are wondering why the heart is skipping.
It skips solely because I felt the amount left in my account won’t be sufficient to buy fuel for my generator for the week. I sat back doing a mental calculation of the amount spent on fuel on a weekly basis. I get home and meet darkness. It is a norm to hear from the gate of my estate till I get to my place of abode, various sounds and melody of generators as the welcoming sounds. I can’t remember when last I saw light. I only hear from neighbors that there was light in the afternoon when I make a public complaint. The heavy investment on inverters has come as a succor to some homes. However, this shouldn't be. My mind races to the various TV programs where you see some countries generate electricity from various sources and I ask myself: Why can’t Nigeria do this? This question was asked at a forum once and gist has it that a top government official said “The generator business is a multibillion Naira investment that cannot be touched”. If this statement is true, then there is fire on the mountain.
I personally believe the solution to most of the problems in the nation is POWER GENERATION/ ELECTRICITY. I once heard the statistics of the number of manufacturing companies that folded up in 2013 in a state. The number was put at over 400.

Pause …………..
Let’s do some mathematics and draw inferences.
Employment: Let’s imagine each of the companies had a minimum of 5 staff. That gives us a total of 2000 unemployed people.
Health: From the calculation above, it means you have approximately 2000 people who have at least 5 family members. This increases the number to 10000. Now you have over 10000 people who are unhappy and indirectly have health issues.
Crime: Now imagine the number of jobless people, because the numbers keep increasing. The unhealthy people can no longer work at optimal levels, hence they lose their jobs.
Corporate Social Responsibility: Imagine the companies exist and every organization is saddled with a corporate social responsibility which revolves around water, health care, roads etc.

Pause …………..

I guess you can relate to my point that electricity / power generation is key. It solves Unemployment, reduces health issues and allow provision of good health facilities, roads are constructed, education is available and affordable, and research is promoted.
It has been very easy stating the needs of Nigerians. However, the challenge/ agitations I have are centered on: How do we make sure we are led by the right people at local, state and federal level?  How do we ensure we move from individualism, name calling, and blame shifting to solution finding, collective governance, and patriotism?
At this point, my mind has grown so weary and chooses to take a rest.
Looking forward to getting a positive response to the needs and a time when we would transit to the status “A DEVELOPED NATION”

Yours faithfully,


Nigerian mind(s).

" Shey private na the way "

It has been a while I wrote something or even decided to fully express my feelings or the thoughts/state of my mind. My fans J “in my mind” have been asking questions such as: 
  • Won’t you write again?
  • Is it because you have said “I do” that you won’t write again?

These questions have brought nothing but a constant smile to my face and has made me rethink and decide ……. Let’s get it started again.

Uhmmmmmm. A great and deep sigh …. So much to say and indeed my mind hasn’t stopped being the busy mind… However, “To whom Wisdom is given, major Discretion is advised” – Socrates tolmega01.
Enough is enough, But Why? When would all this malady stop? Can’t we just have basic amenities? Can’t I just benefit totally from the government? Where are the Chibok girls and all other kidnapped people? Who is responsible for the group causing pain in certain parts of the country? ---- These questions and thoughts plus a lot more occupy my mind and I can say more than half of the Nigerian populace.

Pause …………..




 Time travelling to the beginning of the build up to my write up.





The first question that pops to my head/mind is “What has my Government done for me?” … I can imagine the question someone would ask which is what have you done for your country? :)  A quick answer “patriotism” and a lot more.
Another group would say why would you be demanding? The answer to that is why shouldn’t I demand... I have witnessed societies where just by virtue of birth on the soil i.e. legally a citizen, you are paid every week. If my current statistics/memory is still very active, the British/English child is paid 16 – 20 pounds (Iya Charlie money) on a weekly basis… my vernacular must be pardoned but I needed to stress the currency involved :) 

Pause …………..

Chei !!! Chei!! “Diaris is God o!!!!!!!!!!!! even though the tax paying is high (my opinion), at least the citizens get to benefit one way or the other (basic amenities in place) … Reminds me of the first time I witnessed power outage in London ….It was a great shock at the care and concern of the government as they constantly provided information on timing and duration of the outage…. It was less than 10 minutes and the people still got an apology and explanation for the rationale OMG!!!!!!!!!!! That was the summary of my state of mind.
I earlier pointed to the fact that I have a very busy mind and distractions plenty … I really need to make a conscious effort to stay focused :)

Pause …………..
 Now gathering my line of thought so I don’t drift again. A quick slap to my head ….. Back to the time travelling tunnel and its relation to what has my government done for me?
My primary education was private i.e. parents paid for my education and since they wanted the best, they had to send me to one of the best in my local town. Really proud of the school “St Bernadettes Nur & Pry School”. :)  I can’t remember enjoying anything from the government but am seriously scratching my head to try to find something

Oh boy, don’t stress yourself, at this stage the answer: NOTHING (really sad).
Then it was time to advance to secondary school and since private education was expensive and quality of education was still high in some government/model colleges. I tried my hands on 3 schools: A federal government college, a reputable state school and then a military school. Quick digression: the time spent in the military secondary school is another story for another time but it was indeed great. I remember the discipline and all other virtues instilled by the military men and civilian teachers. It was the period, the man in me was formed and all my Nigerian Patriotism Ginger activated.
An average “Navy Boy” as we were called sang passionately every morning the National anthem and the School anthem with the wordings below:

Singing mode activated: 

 




Nigerian Navy Boys rise and fight
Nigerian Navy Boys rise and fight
In the battle of our country,
We shall rise and fight and win.

That was a victor’s anthem and indeed we are all victors one way or the other. Smiling seriously because of the wonderful memories.
Secondary education finished and I had a dream just like Martin Luther King. The dream was to proceed to GREAT IFE but the almighty Jamb “JAMBED” me at first sitting. I was willing to try again but constant strike action due to government negligence or cult clashes in public universities were major concerns for my parent.
At this point licenses had been given to private institutions to operate University education in the country. My parents jumped at the opportunity and boom “Private Education to the rescue once again”….

Thanks to my parents for spending a lot on my education for me to become an important and successful NIGERIAN. God bless them.

Youth service was another exposure as the private university students were the youngest and probably the smartest and more technology friendly ……  :) See me giving props to myself. Mehn, old boys and girls were produced from public universities – reason: failure of the government. I ended up serving in a private company OMG!! And the time travel ends now as I fast forward into the present where I am working for a PRIVATE company again … chei

Now tell me: HOW HAS NIGERIA PAID ME IN MY EDUCATION OR EVEN ANY AREA?
In an earlier state of mind writing, I asked “Khaki vs Agbada” (http://tolmega01.blogspot.com/2013/07/khaki-vs-agbadasuit.html) meaning military or civilian rule. To me it has been the same i.e. Bad roads, bad governance, corruption, violence, kidnapping, assassination and a host of negatives.
Has your own story been different, if yes how different? Let’s relate, share your view and your experience.
I drop my pen for now till I write about another thing on my mind.

Pause …………..


To my fans “celebrity mode activated”, I say am back and won’t be away for so long again.
In Jenifa’s voice “ catch ya, see ya later”
