20m and counting

How are y'all doing? Fine I guess. Yay! Finally something on 'Raw Talk' page. My inspiration was gotten at 20m above sea level.
Don't worry, you'll understand what I mean when you read it.

Firstly, God is good I must say. There's been a conundrum of good news this days that makes me know fully that God is awesome!

I just finished reading a beautiful piece on marriage from one of my best blogs ever and I recommend you read it too. My best part of a wedding used to be the part where the cake was shared, or when I got to eat the party rice but that was a few years back when I attended a wedding last. I'm excited cuz this weekend, I'll have the privilege to grace one again as always. I'm thinking maybe it might be the exchange of vows especially when the bride calls the bridegroom's name while reciting her vows to him

Lets just say, when I'm not blogging, I'm probably configuring some Telecoms equipment, learning Project Mgt. methodologies or reading some book. This now brings me to introduce my write-up which was inspired by climbing a 50m tower.

My thoughts on Bin Laden

Sitting at my PC at 11:31pm...exhausted. Its been a while since I posted something on Raw Talk and the other pages.

I particularly got wind of Bin Laden's death on Monday afternoon and what surprised me most was the fact that the US citizens were jubilating. Don't get me wrong, the 9/11 attacks was a cold-blooded massacre. In fact, one documentary I watched last month on Discovery Channel got me teary-eyed where they analyzed the tragic events as narrated from selected families of the victims. Twas indeed a sad one and I still sympathize till date with them.

Now the part that gets me confused for the lack of a better word is the jubilation. True as a newscaster described it, America was one-evil man safer by Osama Bin Laden's death but my fear lies in this... Osama is dead but his legacy is not!
There are a couple of naysayers/Osama hardcore followers who have a deposit of his doctrine in their blood stream and have now been agitated. This only puts the United States in a more uncomfortable situation. As for me, I would have preferred him captured alive.

Well, that being said, my country has a lot of issues to solve and the Osama issue is by the way.
Before I go, I'd like to drop a few tips:
Make every moment count. I read a book (Business @ the Speed of Thought by Bill Gates) in 1 month...in transit. I used the little hours spent on the road traveling to and fro daily to finish the book and It only made me realize, I could utilize more of my time. Carry a book with you when traveling, when eating and even in the toilet.

Time is Life...Wasted Time=Wasted Life.
Have a nice day!...@ moi frequency...

Happy New Month+Worker's Day+What the...

hmm...Its 2am on the 2nd of May but I guess its not too late to wish y'all a wonderful new month and workers' day celebration and WHAT THE...I mean what's all the fuss about Princess Beatrice's crazy hat. As in, its hilarious to the extent of having a dedicated facebook page. Talking about the Duke of York's daughter's faux pas at the much talked about 'Royal Wedding'. I bet she won't find it funny at all.

Sunday could be what I'd call a red-letter day also cuz the message was 'off the wall' cuz the hook itself fell off.
Ever heard a sermon on shoes. I bet not.
Nuff said, word on the street has it that I'm currently in a big fight with Social Networking. I mean its totally pointless and time-wasting from Michael's Theorem which states that the amount of time spent on that blue page is indirectly proportional to the time spent on getting useful info on the same browser provided your thinking remains constant. Silly kinda but I'm serious here and I think It'll take Mark Zuckerberg himself to convince me. (Actually a bluff).

So what did I learn this week...hmmm...

Okay its the 5th month of the year and trust me nothing is more demanding in skill than Time Management. Time is Life...Wasted Time = Wasted Life.
This quote has been an inspiration since I found it some days ago and I decided to share with you my distinguished reader.

"If you are distressed by anything external,

the pain is not due to the thing itself,

but to your estimate of it;

and this you have the power to revoke at any moment" - Marcus Aurelius

He is risen!

Happy Easter to you all!

Good to be back here and I must apologize for the long silence. It wasn't intentional.
Wonder how you're spending yours at your end but I sure hope it'll be swell still fully aware of the reason for the season.
Well, I would recommend you watch a movie like 'Passion of The Christ' or read a book from my best author, Max Lucado. I was reading one of his books yesterday and I must say, he has a creative way of expressing his love for God with words and sort of making you feel the same. Book's titled 'Applause of Heaven'. I think this will be the 1st book I've read over 3 times and each time always seems new and exciting. I hope to be this creative.

Well, if you're like me and would be indoors with famille, then I'd say have fun too. Either ways, we should keep in mind that Jesus had fleshy tendencies like us while on earth yet withstood all forms of temptation, submitted to the will of the Father and became a pathway to our Salvation. Now that's awesome.

Whatever you're going through, He went through already so just get ready to let go and feel the April breeze blow as you cling to the old rugged cross.

Shoutout to a friend: Happy birthday Toju!

Slow and Steady

That's the way I'm playing it this days. No need to rush. I particularly have been out of tune with some things in my environment and it just gives you the creeps when things move too fast.

Okay I'm supposed to submit a write-up by the end of this week and I haven't written shin-gbai (local word for 'Nada'/nothing) at all. So, I'm taking it all out on my environment cuz she hasn't given me any inspiration at all. hehehe...Projects, Deadlines, Decisions...on and on and on.

Thank you Lord for life and sanity. So ama take it slow and steady cuz sometimes, the best way to catch-up fast is to slow-down...hmmm...what a paradox.
Slow and Steady implies caution, calculation and precision juxtaposed with heavenly connection (you can't rule that out you know). I'm having a Matrix moment here...world on slow-mo...with me dodging stress bullets, jumping over skyscrapers and landing with a dignified full split on peaceful grounds. Breathe in...Breathe out. Well these are just some random thoughts from a tired head. *yawn*

Enjoy the rest of your week and get ready Nigeria for this weekend (April 16th)...Nigeria Decides!

Election Weekend 1

Tomorrow marks a very important event speaking of the Nigerian Elections which as described by a respectable Nigerian in diaspora would either lead us to progression or retrogression.

On my own part, I particularly do not think I'll vote in the House of Reps/Senatorial election but as for the Presidential and Gubernatorial, count me all in.
Well in a place like Lagos, its glaring that Fashola is the man for the job and that's my pick but for presidential...hmmm! I can tell you plainly that I have over 3 different choices but I know of a thing that I'll vote only one of them(duuhhhh!). hahaha...Okay the truth is I haven't made up my mind but come April 16th, one man will stand. One man...One decision...One desire.(I love being dramatic, yea I know).

So go all out and VOTE!!! Your vote sure counts. Have a nice voting weekend.

VOTE!

Plenty Stories + Good News

Hi there, its been a fassst week o. The way this year is rolling by is just amazing...I mean...its April already. Good Lord!

Well, its good on the other hand.

Okay, there's plenty to talk about. Firstly, some days ago I planned to post something here which I actually did, then I had some technical issues which I tried resolving by refreshing my page...and voila!...all was gone.
hmm...Plenty Stories, I hear you say.

But no qualms, you haven't missed a thing cuz I'll fill you in with the nitty-gritties...@ moi frequency...*wink*

Now to the good news...mikesfrequency will be spreading its tentacles to a wider audience! Good news indeed right. Well let's just keep fingers crossed!
Also part of the good news is an invitation to write for a blog I respect so much...talking of Afrosays . Yup! you should bookmark it. I just hope I can keep up but then again, the frequency is never jammed! Thanks to God.
As long as he gives, I deliver!

Shout-out to a friend: Happy Birthday Tobi Babs!

Enjoy the rest of your week! Mwah! (eeewww)

Milz you all...

Hey I'm back on track like a train,
Arranging those words like a sage,
To say I don't miss you all is a fib,
But I breathe...relief...my words I sow as a seed.

Okay, where do we start from...? Nigeria is heating up election-wise as tension build-up is at its thresholds. Campaigns run like daily aerobic sessions, Incognito Manifestos, Dramatic Debates and the list is endless...
This is by my observation one of the most publicized in terms of awareness and various movements against unfairness during the elections.

Over to Japan now, the focus has shifted from the Earthquake cum Tsunami to the Radioactive emissions from the Fukushima-Daiichi Plant. God be with the people of Japan. (Amen).

One thing has been of concern to me of late and its life generally. I won't go into much details but its the fact that life isn't fair. People are born with simple minds only to grow to develop complex minds that they themselves don't understand.
One misconception is that its often misconstrued as maturity. When we were little, we would smile genuinely, play with sand, quarrel and forgive on the spot...but with age comes so much complexity. We find it hard to enjoy the subtle good of life. Maybe life is complex...yea...maybe it can only be understood by the simple.

May God help us all. Have a lovely week ahead!

Pray for Japan

Its really a sad phenomenon, talking of the prevalence of natural disasters around the world.
Recently was New Zealand on Feb 22 this year and now Japan on March 11th. We could keep blabbing about man's activities and how his actions are affecting the environment but that is not the solution.

As at now, while following the news, I learnt that it has actually shifted the earth on its own axis by 10cm and also moved the main island's of Japan 2.4m east. Now tell me, you're not affected in this. More so, natural disasters not only affect the affected country's economy but the world at large. Else, how would you explain World Oil prices rising due to the Libya Civil protest.

It sad that countries that don't even have natural disasters create disasters for themselves.
Well if you think you don't have a say in this, then you're wrong!
So here's the thing...Pray for Japan 3 minutes daily and pray towards Nigeria's elections for 3 minutes too.
Spread the message round! 6 minutes of your time is all you have to give. Its worth it!
 More updates on the disaster in the Trending Now link.

Hi there, after much silence he decides to write again. Yep... speaking of me.
Okay what's up in blogsville? Um...Okay...Down to the business.

Firstly, sorry this is coming late but happy International Womens' Day in arrears! *raises hat*. To the mothers and women of our time, I say cheers! *clanking glasses*.

Its a note to read and I'm not sure if I've written this serious in a lil while. As the inspiration came, I wrote.
So enjoy as you read.
