MY MARRIAGE.

Kpoi Kpoi Kpoi! Gbam Gbam Gbam! Dum Dum Dum!                                                                                                                           

Those consistent and scary bangs on my door sent cold shivers throughout my system. My heart thumped out of my chest into my belly. My palms turned wet all of a sudden. I became restive, uneasy. I didn’t see all of these coming, at least not now… or ever.                                    It’s barely 3 months after my dad’s demise and just 1 month after his funeral. I was not in the right frame of mind, still battling with emotional instability at the moment and only God knows till when.                                                                                                                                      It’s 01:00pm this hot Wednesday afternoon. I wasn’t expecting anyone, no one that my shattered brain could recall. My husband Williams Akunnaya Oriuwa (wealthy name for a wealthy man of his calibre), the 1^st and only son of Senator (Chief) and Lolo Daniel Okpomechina Akuuwa Oriuwa, usually comes home in the evenings after work and meetings. Besides, the banging was a direct opposite of his soft knocks whenever he was at the door.                                                                                                                                                    And definitely not a friend since I had none again. They had all fled after several rains of insults, abuses and you’re-a-friend-of-a-gold-digger type of look and treatment all from my husband’s family.                                                                                                                                                                                            Who was it then I thought wildly? With fear, I fidgeted towards the door, tried opening it with my shaky hands until the visitor flung open the door almost smashing my face with it.                                                                                                                                                                My last minute guess was right afterall.

Youth and World Peace.

In times past, a youth is confined and dedicated to farmwork on his father’s land. He is bent on protecting all his parents’ landed properties and making sure no gold digger dubiously takes possession of any. He is just satisfied with and leaps at mere exhortations like: “the richest farmer”, “the bravest hunter”, “the powerful herbalist”, “the strongest wrestler”, “the famous fish farmer”, “the best palm wine tapper”, “the wisest trader”, “the renowned flautist” and the list goes on. On the contrary, in present times, there has been a complete switch in the choice of career. We now hear of young CEOs, entrepreneurs, social activists, country ambassadors, writers and experts in various professions.

Fortunately, in this our 21^st century,

A Break It Was...

I hate to say this but I have no option because it's the truth and must be said. But first of all, I must apologize to my great blog readers and followers for the long silence. This was due to circumstances beyond my control. I realized it's not healthy enough to keep you guys post-hungry. So, I am officially using this medium to say that the blog could only get better from now on. Trust me, the vibe has been revived and the fun has begun.
 Happy Reading. Remember Be the BEST YOU can be. Cheers!

ENGINEERING ENTREPRENEURSHIP: A TOOL FOR NATIONAL DEVELOPMENT.

Asides peace, security, good governance, abundance of food and technical expertise, stable economy is yet another characterizing factor or yardstick used to measure the quality and quantity of a nation’s development. There must be a healthy relationship between production, trade and the supply of money in a particular country or region in order for its economy to thrive, be viable and sustainable. For this great milestone to be achieved, there must be forgone alternatives.

Entrepreneurship calls to mind the taking of bold innovative steps and imbibing of entrepreneurial skills and qualities (perseverance, creativity, boldness, positive-mindedness, enthusiasm, driving force, goal-orientation, focus, hardwork, commitment…),

My Best Friend.

My Best Friend
A female
A male
He or she can fit in
I put in
My best- my very best
To select from the crowd
My Best Friend

On and on it went
Years passed by
It turned to be ages
Under the sun
Under the rain
Through trying times
While under stress
Looking out for the right qualities

I had friends
Yes, Friends
But not My Best Friend
Was still in search of you
In deep thoughts
They bugged me
But you hugged me
My Best Friend

Some made me groan
Some made me smile
Some made me cry
I asked my God why
Some left me in despair
Just for me to repair
I realized they were not for my heart
Like an axe piercing my heart

My heart was left bare
My face scared
It was not fair
It led me to fear
Fear of mere mortals
So hard for me to bear
So crystal clear
They were not there

My Best Friend
You made me wonder
You made me wander
You made me want to conquer
Conquer the false friends
So that you'll deliver
Just for you
My Best Friend

They were gluttons
They were sappers
Not even merciful
Not even thankful
Not even fearful
They made me sorrowful
It was mournful
As well as scornful

Your absence
Paved way for their presence
My Best Friend
Then came the lonely nights
To question my might
I dreamt of you
I longed for you
To save me from their clutches

I needed you
You and you alone
You knew my weaknesses, my faults
You knew my strengths
You knew my heart
You knew my intentions
You knew my goals
They were in line with yours

I saw hell
Many times, I fell
and I yelled
Just for you to bail
Unlike others,
You ridiculed me not
You laughed at me not
My Best Friend

You embraced me
You curdled me
You wiped away my tears
You took away my fears
I cried for years
But it was a YES
And I said YES
To My Best Friend

At last,
At long last,
Together the fakes we oppress
Together the fakes we suppress
Together the fakes we silence
It was their doom
And thus our boom
My Best Friend

I became thankful
I became careful
I became grateful
I became cheerful
I became beautiful
I became prayerful
Forever with My True Friend!
Forever with My Best Friend!
