Celebrate Life.

In ordering your private world, Gordon Macdonald tells the story of Mohandas Gandhi, the Hindu leader who was known as “India’s George Washington” by leading his people to national independence. People who have read biographies of Gandhi or have seen his life portrayed in film are often impressed by his calm and serene character. Gandhi frequently was found among the poor and diseased in India’s cities. He would walk among them offering a touch of hope, a word of encouragement, or a gentle affirming smile. The next day Gandhi might be found in palaces and government buildings negotiating with the most powerful and educated men of his age. How did he keep a balanced sense of self in these vast extremes of Indian society? How did he maintain humility when the great masses of people cheered him as a hero or he was summoned to talk with kings and government leaders? Gandhi spun the wool from which his clothes were made. When he returned to his simple dwelling, he sat on the floor ...

Try that with a bottle of red wine... *winks*

Another wedding weekend...

Here's a lovely silhouette from Madam Onyinye. Looool!

MADAM KUMOLU Here comes thee once more, Longtime ago you disappeared; The thin air felt your absence, Pollution left our hood. Madam kumolu!   Here comes thee once more, Though a bit pregnant,  With unhealthy quadruplet- Trampled tranquility; Bountiful iniquity; Heightened diversity; And moral complexity. Madam kumolu!!   Unwelcome guest, We want you no more, Wiser we now are, Awake our consciousness remains, Stronger our veins fare; Not Manchester-like, Madam kumolu!!! We are now united. Leave...take a bow, Perchance, You might have a thinking box for that; Take your leave, For the dawn is new. Poem by: BELLO, Idris Olakunle Poet, Arts Administrator &Critic

PART 2 Why?  Funmi saved my eyes and not my ‘ass’ in this context. Loooool! We all slept late , only for me to wake up to her  taps around 3am and a burning face with it… yes my whole face was on fire, I managed to get out of my net and Funmi just screamed. What? What is wrong? Funmi talk to me, what is going on?  Trying so hard to get her attention and her torch away from my face… I was scared and only for Fidara to come look at my face and she finally said my eyes were RED.  The mosquito net must have smoked your eyes, followed by series of questions thrown at me. Did you sundry the net before using it last night? Did you open your eyes while you slept? Did you wash your net before coming to camp? Unfortunately I did none of such things… a big NO! Then came in the bunch of remedy suggestions, flying around the air… I think you should wash your face… No! I think its best you go to the clinic, No! Let her just r...

GAME OF THRONES SEASON 1: EPISODE 2. By: Debola Anne   “He may be young but he is the commander we turn to when the night was darkest” - Samwell Tarly . Now don’t you just wish you’ve got a friend like Sam, he did a great job giving out that nomination speech. Thus lets All hail! The new Lord Commander of the Nights Watch… “Jon Snow”. Can’t help but acknowledge this was my favourite scene in the whole of the Episode, he’s also one of my favourite characters and just beneath that rippled Bastard heart lies a true son of Ned Stark, I wish his father were alive to see that part too. Not only did Jon refuse to be legally called Jon Stark but he also refused to give up himself as a boy toy to Stannis. Tyrion wasn’t joking when he had asked if he could drink himself to death on their way to Meeren because that was just what he was doing, and of cause his new obsession for taking a walk outside in the open kept Lord Varys frustrated and well, he just had to keep re...
