REMEMBERING KEN SARO WIWA

Image
I was about eleven years old when Ken Saro Wiwa was executed. The whole NigerDelta politics made me cringe, it was one thing or another and back then i really didnt understand much until he was executed. A few years later, I came across a book he wrote and it sometimes make me wish he was still alive.I havent read much of his publications but it was a really good read. I highly recommend this book. Why is it that the most people with potential lie in their graves?This makes me beleieve that everyday is an opportuinity to make a difference to become a better person. Ken may not have had a chance like you or I  but he died for a cause and is a hero in the Ogoni land and in Nigeria.

THE KIND OF PEOPLE YOU MEET ON TWITTER

Publish Post I saw this cartoon strip while surfing the web and i decided to share it because I have identified myself with one or more of the following 12 kinds of people you meet on Twitter. Identify your Twitter self.

ENCOURAGING WORDS

Image
I was reading somewhere in a book today that "A perfect man is one who does not offend in word" and I believe i tweeted it too. I later read the article on TI saving a suicidal man's life by speaking words to him. In an interview with the AP he said " I told him it ain't that bad. It'll get better, to put the time and effort into making it better,I just reminded him know that I know. It looks bad right now, but it can turn around." The man after listening to TI's words didn't jump of the 22 story building. He was taken to the hospital. Sometimes life can get the very best of us or people that we know and it doesn't hurt for once to say something nice to them be it their outfit, or something they did to make your day worthwhile. Some people don't think this life is worth living anymore, but if you do think your life is worth living,show someone you care, no criticisms, no bad talk or nothing, just encouraging words. Happy Friday.

   When i think of Francisca the first thing that comes to my head is "Sisqo". She can pass for the male and best impersonation of Sisqo. Lol. She was a great study buddy and comedian back in the day among my group of friends.  Francisca Morayo Ayanbadejo also graduated with the class of 2001 and attended  Olabisi Onabanjo University to study Electrical/Electronics Engineering .  Another Engineers. and is presently at the University of Warwick (Warwick Manufacturing Group) studying Engineering Business Management.

 Queen Abimbola Soares graduated with the class of 2001. We took classes together especially Geography with Aisuedon even though we were in separate classes. She is known to me as a corridor girl. She stayed at home for about two years after graduation and attended Foundation in Engineering in University of Leeds from 2003-2004. I always give Big thumbs up to females who study Engineering. I give her more than two. She studied Electronics Systems Engineering at the University of Manchester and is currently at University of Bradford doing an MBA in Accounting and Finance.She is currently in a relationship, so we hope to expect wedding bells soon. She is one of the achievers that QC produced and I wish her a successful future. 1.     ME:Do you remember your first day in QC?         BIMBO:Vividly 2.     ME:Which PQC did you fancy?          BIMBO;Mrs Marinho 3. ...

I should use the word Smart.Well i kept in touch even after QC so i haven't missed out on too much of her life like some people who may have done so. The twins are just the kind of friends money cannot buy.Kehinde is doing pretty well for herself. After graduating QC on the 15th day of July 2001 with those 616 girls, she got into University of Lagos to study Biochemistry and got her Bsc. She worked for Intercontinental Bank for two years and is now a Management consultant with one of the top four accounting firms. The life of an achiever from Biochem to Banking.

My 3rd personality is an old friend, one of those classmates that you tend not to forget easily. One thing about her is that she has made her mark in life and is pretty promising to make more. An ex member of SLONFUNDELATS and Sovereign Army, she graduated with the class of 2001.I dont want to ramble on and on so i will let her do the talking. ADUNOLA: I graduated from QC in 2001. Following this, I went on to do a degree in Business Economics at Keele University, Staffordshire. This was a lovely time - one of the best years of my life, more to do with being close to the country side - Lagos girl away from the city... :0). I did an internship with a Big 4 accountancy firm and went on to join them for my accountancy training post-graduation from Keele. 3years after wards and with a passion to contribute to Nigeria's development (tangibly, as opposed to merely discussing it with friends over dinner/drinks), I decided to return to school, and I completed my Masters in Global...
