REPORIENTATION | NOT UNTIL THIS JOKE IS OVER

A joke is almost synonymous with what we call a way out of insecurity. Is it not laughable when mechanical, human and monetary resources are in great enmity with the security unit of the nation. We really need help!

REPORIENTATION | CHARACTER

“Character in the long run, is the decisive factor in the life of an individual and of the nations alike”
– Theodore Roosevelt

Character erects a fence between a good leader and a bad one. It is part of what makes us different, the one from the other. It describes the owner.

REPORIENTATION | INTEGRITY

“Laws and principles are not for the times when there is no temptation: they are for such moments as this, when body and soul rise in mutiny against their rigour…If at my convenience I might break them, what would be their worth?”
– Cha-lotteBronte, Jane Eyre

REPORIENTATION | OUR BROKEN WALLS

The city whose walls are broken down will definitely become an easy prey to diverse attacks from it’s enemies.

We have wailed and still wailing in our land of birth. We have searched and still searching for hope in our land.

REPORIENTATION | TRUTHFULNESS

Truth is deserted, helpless and has gotten an apartment on the top of the list of threatened species. It is just as good as an archaic culture that neither ethnography nor ethnoarchaeology can rescue. Almost everyone exalts lies above truth; nobody wants the truth in black and white but coloured and spiced and sharing the same outfit with falsehood.

REPORIENTATION 0141

We do more of comedy than seriousness in this nation. We allow vital issues to lie helplessly in the ward while trivialities occupy the whole Intensive Care Unit without apologies. Important things are given no space to breathe.

NOW A NORM

Culture is dynamic, fine! But I believe its dynamism should be positive, meaning it should become better day after day. Acculturation should not even take a particular culture a metre backwards, rather progress should be its goal.

EFFICIENCY

Whenever a situation is beyond crying about, laughter is what is needed and probably shaking of head either in disapproval or disappointment. A sigh of relief or some water will also do, refreshing the mind.

MATTERS THAT MATTER

When bewilderment bullies the bosses, what shall the followers do but to dance to the beats of disarray?
Confusion besets the bosses like dysentery. Hmmm, the matter seems never to befriend a way out since what matters does not matter to them. Unrequested death and abductions matter less than the fight for the next elections. Lawlessness and terrorism are no issues to deal with seriously as politics weighs better.

REPORIENTATION | THE BLAME GAME.

Who else deserves the booing and blame, if not the government? The road to our houses are as good as the trunk of a palm. Indequate water supply, irregular power supply, bad health care facilities, unemployment pleague and lots more are no other person’s fault other than our beloved government. Even our unkempt streets, hike in price of food and fuel are without doubt the fault of the government. Let me not forget to also blame the government for our insecurity and lack of money to enjoy.

#COVID19 | REPORIENTATION WITH BABATUNDE 91ST EDITION.

The current is what we could have prevented but all thanks to the people concerned who did not see any need to shut our borders when the apparent was miles away. It was until it became real, that collision started occurring in a process of controlling it.

Sublimation of funds is what we are prepared to address today. My entirety fails to show my white teeth in adoration of the wagon of evil plying our dear Nigerian roads of progress.

Decadence in a friendly state has anchored our ship. However hard we try to move, stagnancy is an understatement for our condition.
