RUMBLE IN A JUNGLE!

 RUMBLE IN A JUNGLE!


Life is a struggle, we all have to rumble

We fight to survive as though we're in the jungle

We learn along the way even though we fumble

That leaves us no time to rant, rave nor mumble


Oftentimes, life knocks us hard and we recoil and bumble

Circumstances prick us so sharply as a bramble

We become squeezed till we crumble

But you need not to only grumble


Understand that we are in a rumble

And that does not warrant you time to jumble

Don't just lazily walk through life in a shamble

It's a rat race, run to win, don't just amble


Nonetheless, direction is key, so never ramble

The right direction gets you there amidst stumble

With it you will be swift and smart  as you nimble

Through your strategy and not a mere gamble


Don't rebel when asked to do right else you will tumble

And don't mistaken timidity for humility,it's good to be humble

But dare to dig deeper if you want to get the best of marble

Fight for your dreams because it's a rumble in a jungle!

RESIDENCY DIARIES 9- Is School A Scam?

  IS SCHOOL A SCAM?  Whilst in Residency, we had a daily routine of picking a topic at random and sharing our thoughts on same during breakfast.  We would often find ourselves engaging in healthy conversations on educational issues, politics and national development, relationships and marriage, youth development and of course writing, which was that one thing that Brough us together.  On one particular morning after breakfast, we zeroed in on discussion about education in Africa. One resident without mincing words blurted out;'School is a Scam! It is not exactly what our parents and society has sold to us'.  He continued, 'We have been told from childhood that; Go to school, complete and get a well paying job to help set you up in life. But the reality on the ground is different. I think school is a big scam.l especially in Africa'.  With these statements, the tone was set for our conversation at the dinning table. Each resident shared his views on same. We...

IF YOU CAN READ THIS,GO FIND YOUR TEACHER AND SAY THANK YOU! Is that not sir Augustine?Yes,he's the one.Awww,how I wish I had seen him earlier.Come to think of it,ITS been 20yrs already.How amazed i guess he would be to know that he once taught me.Yeah,I'm sure he would....Just a few of the many reflections that came to mind when I saw my Class 1 teacher while in taxi a few days ago.He's simply an awesome teacher. Ever since I left his class I've been taught by several others yet I've forgotten about most of them but not him.And why so?I asked myself,then it dawned on me when you knew nothing but just the national anthem song and ABCD...'A ne ne ba'.... he believed in you.When you feigned sickness during your maths class,he knew all about it yet he said,you're a bright kid,work harder.I was young then but His words had a phenomenal impact on my life.Only if he knew how powerful his words were.I recount when he once said his pride will be ...
