Stay You!

There is a way of having your needs met without negativity and complaining. If you want something — give it. Being positive, giving and caring may not always work out exactly the way you wish, but whatever you give will come back to you one way or another. Your giving heart may inspire change in another, or qualify you for a better situation if the current situation must eventually change. And, even if it fails with the person in whom you wish to see a behaviour change — even if they are totally non-responsive, dysfunctional and a taker — you still can’t lose, because you can never lose by being awesome and by being your very best.

#Free Gambia

I came across the Gambia Youth Parliament Press release in response to President Yahya Jammeh’s call for fresh elections, citing that the elections were manipulated. I found it quite funny when he said that God-fearing men will be chosen to run a fresh elections. He dared to call God’s name? How did it sound in his mouth? A man spends over 23 years of his life hurting, manipulating and killing people and then talks about God and a free/fair elections. What has been free and fair about his leadership? I saw the reactions of Gambians in Diaspora and in exile when the results came out.
Just after everyone rejoiced that a dictator has relinquished power and some Gambian exiles were plans to return home…In age where our western counterparts are moving in technological and medical advancements, Africa is still dealing with power-drunk men who have only hurt and kill their fellow country-men. Doesn’t a man know his ovation is over? Why agree to elections and turn back to refuse to hand over power?
This is a difficult time for my Gambian friends and the Gambian people in general. I pray God gives them the courage to stand strong and demand a true democracy in their country.

Finally, power belongs to the people…

THE NATIONAL YOUTH PARLIAMENT- THE GAMBIA

                                               PRESS STATEMENT
The National Youth Parliament – The Gambia strongly condemns the outgoing President's statement issued on December 9th supposedly annulling the December 1st Presidential Election results. We found his statement as not only threatening the peace and stability of the Gambia but also a blatant disregard of the supreme law of the land, our constitution and the norms of democracy.

As an institution that represents the youths of The Gambia, The National Youth Parliament has been observing public elections in the Gambia since 2006. We have conducted voter education campaigns, mobilized young people to vote in elections and to respect the democratic process as a means to take responsibility and leadership in the affairs of their society. Our observation mission found the December 1st presidential elections to be free, peaceful and credible and the results reflect the undiluted will of the people of the Gambia. We found no incidences of malpractices and unfairness during the voting or counting of the results in all the places we observed around the country. Hence we believe the allegations made on the 9th December by the Outgoing President against the results are immaterial. We consider this election as genuine and all leaders, not least Outgoing President Yaya Jammeh must respect the result and prepare himself to step down.

As young people, we fervently believe that Democracy and Good Governance are central values that we must nurture and uphold as future leaders of our great country. We believe Gambian people have spoken at the December 1st polls and their choice should be respected.

We are therefore calling on the Outgoing President to withdraw his December 9th statement and maintain his acceptance speech, which was made on the 2nd December and work with President-elect Adama Barrow on a transition process that the Gambian people deserve. We urge Outgoing Pres. Jammeh to demonstrate leadership and commitment to the values and ideals of democracy at this critical juncture of our history and after 22 years of his rule.

We would like to call on all Gambians to stay calm and allow the political leaders, President-elect Adama Barrow and his team to work with the out-going government Dr. Jammeh on a smooth transition as expected in a democratic society. The National Youth Parliament - The Gambia would call on all state institutions and security services to play their customary role and stay committed to their responsibility as servants of the Gambian people.
To the International Community, we would call on you to stand in solidarity with our great country and her people as we go through this historic first democratic transition of power since independence.

We would however like to impress on Outgoing Pres. Yaya Jammeh that the National Youth Parliament – The Gambia and indeed all youths of the Gambia will neither accept the annulment of the result nor any prolongation of his rule, which expires in January 2017. We would further make it categorically clear that the youth of this country will not cooperate with him in anyway but will stand firm to ensure that the peace and stability of this country is maintained and that leaders are held to account as per our laws.


Yours in the Service of the Nation

STATE OF THE NATION

#1

I will be running a series titled, "State of the Nation."
 Some of the wrire-ups will not be mine. They will be the opinions of people I respect and who are Nigerian politics-savvy.
And although I am a christian and quite agree that Eno used a lot of sarcasm, he said the truth.Painfully so. Read and make your own jugdement...

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each nation went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast.
So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory out of it.
While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology.
While we were praying, India went into ICT.
While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization.
While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development.
While we were binding and losing Lucifer Japan went into technological development.
While we were speaking in tongues Denmark went into education of her citizens.
While we were mounting big big speakers in our places of worship USA was mounting man on the moon.

After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour.
Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc has been rewarded accordingly. It's only wise God rewards us with with our efforts in prayers.
That's why today, Nigerian pastors are competing in building the biggest churches. That's why there are more prayers houses and worship places than hospitals and schools. That's why people rush to prayer houses for medical and business solutions instead of hospitals.
That's why we don't do business proposals before jumping into business since we are going to back it up with prayers. And when it collapse, we blame devil.
That's why it's a sin to say anything negative about pastors and imams.
That's why our pastors don't consider the opinion of engineers while building.
That's why faith in God replaces building pillars and when it collapse we blame it on Lucifer.
That's why our pastors are making sure the plant church branches instead of schools in every streets in Nigeria.
That's why we always wait for God to do that which ability to accomplish he has already handed over to us.
That's why we want our teachers to labour on earth and come to heaven for their rewards.

Nigeria is a prayer loving, God fearing nation. Religion has taken the place of technology, infrastructure, education and what have you.
When we are traveling, we ignore all the necessary road requirements and pray, once we pray, we can put a half fit vehicle on the road and blame Lucifer if anything goes wrong.
That's why some educated idiots are coming to my inbox to warn me that am blaspheming against a man of God.
That's why people are dying on our roads like animals, yet you have not seen any protest.
Because, we pray and fast and leave everything to God.
Before you get it twisted I am an ordained evangelist.

HOW OUR EDUCATION COLLAPSED IN SIERRA LEONE

When colonial masters and Christian missionaries finally decided to use education as their second tool in changing the lifestyle of Africans(especially West Africa), Sierra Leone was lucky to be the hub to be used in spreading western education in West Africa, a luck many other countries had wished for. Long before other West African countries had a single school, Sierra Leone had already got two secondary schools and a college, and as a result, Freetown was rightly coined the Athens of West Africa. But sad enough to say all these are past glories and the issues here now are completely different,  and in opposition to what history says about Sierra Leone in terms of education as even Sierra Leonean universities can not make it among the top 100 universities in Africa(not even Fourah Bay College, the oldest university in West Africa), Sierra Leone records a very high number of failure in the regional examination conducted by The West Africa Examination Council(WAEC) ;if not the worst.

 You come across graduates from Sierra Leonean universities with degrees in English language but can not correct simple grammatical errors,and civil engineering graduates who can not mix concrete properly etc as a result of a  few things I will discuss in this short Article.

In the first place, government assisted and Public schools have lost their values because government officials have been blind to the fact that quality education is not only meant for their children and close relatives, but every citizen of Sierra Leone. As common sense can tell, one becomes more interested in improving a situation when they affect you directly than when they don't. I challenge you to name me a senior government official whose child is attending a public school. They have neglected the public schools because their children are either abroad studying or are enrolled in one of those expensive private schools where you have to pay millions of leones before been enrolled. One can easily wonder, if only they believe in the standard of the public schools, why not send their children there? 

Imagine the child of a senior government official goes  to  a public school and spends the whole day without been taught, as it is common and comes back to give the report directly to his/her parent, you will find out that the heads of that particular school will have to answer questions because of that child, but they remain  careless and blind to the plight of those hundred children in a single classroom with only one teacher to teach them fourteen subjects or more, they are blind to the plight of those one thousand children in a single school with less than ten teachers to teach them because their own children are getting the best of education either in a foreign country or in an expensive private school where the pay millions of tax payers money. Imagine the child of the finance Minister stays at home because teachers are on strike for their salaries,the result will be that the minister will try as hard as possible to get the teachers back to school so his/her child will go back to school. What a bunch of cheaters!

The seriousness of the problem is that the minister of education and other senior education officers are bent on blaming teachers and parents, rather than listening to the wide range of concerns raised by various scholars either through letters or similar articles. I still continue to imagine whether they really know the problems or  they are not just ready to find solutions to solve them.I only hope we have that education minister who will not think he knows much and turn blind eyes and deaf ears to the concerns of Sierra Leoneans.

 The other cause of the stench in the educational standards is political and regional biases that exist within the education ministry of the country. Few months ago, when the ministry of education announced the approval of teachers, Kenema district was left out of the process for unexplained reasons. The question one could ask is what has the children in kenema district got to do with the political indifference between the people of kenema and the ruling government? This is a complete bigotry which the Ministers need to explain to Sierra Leoneans. That might be just a small one if you know how students' grants and scholarships are given. The grounds for scholarships are no more on merit but on political lines and personal recommendations. 

I came to know this when one Momoh Flee, who claimed to be the Eastern Region- regional secretary of the National Union of Sierra Leone Students (NUSS), mistakenly sent me a message and introduced himself to me as the guy who recommended me to receive the student grant not knowing I have never applied for the grant-in-aid. From his message I confirmed what many have been claiming,  and I also knew the reason why NUSS and other students' Unions have been messed up by politics and they no more serve the purpose of a student Union all in the name of receiving grants.

All these said about the government, I will be bias if I forget to bring to the attention of my dear reader the grave harm the examination body, The West Africa Examination Council(WAEC) Sierra Leone , is causing on the education of the country. Examination Malpractice is not a strange phenomenon any longer in our country, and the dangerous part of it is that the perpetrators(WAEC BODY) are the ones raising the alarm. One may be tempted to ask where the candidates get questions from? Or is it that WAEC offices are no more secured? We all know that it is the WAEC officers who sell the questions to candidates before the time of the paper(especially in Freetown). Ridiculous enough to see students from the provinces running to Freetown to take exams; even though there are empty centers in the provinces, that sometimes I wonder whether the questions drawn for students in Freetown differ from or are simpler than those drawn for the candidates  in the provinces, but the questions are the same(Ridiculous indeed). 

These have been happening for a very long time and after all, the only thing WAEC could do is to issue a weak and unpublished press release threatening to trace those sending exam questions via Whatsapp as if Whatsapp is the only means they are using to send questions or have they forgotten that our cyber security is so weak that they can not even catch those who have been insulting our leaders via social media?. I am not saying WAEC officials should continue going down to the level of selling exam questions,but am suggesting that WAEC management upgrades the salary level of their staff.

As I round up, I also want to bring to the attention of the readers the fact that teachers have also not been helping the situation. We all know the salaries are too small and not measurable to the services you offer, but that is not in any way a justifiable reason to engage in the devilish acts of corruption widespread in schools across the country. I respect teaching as a career and teachers in particular, so I want to be very careful in asking that you deviate from the act of giving grades for cash or in kind. We all know respect in the career counts a lot, which is the reason why  many others and I want to be teachers , especially if the government improve the conditions of service(I don't want to be a hypocrite.) This act of giving grades for money has contributed greatly in damaging the system as students now rely on gaining unmerited promotions.

As I end here and hang my pen till part two, I will remind you of a quote by Nelson Mandela and it reads, “Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world”


Till part two, I am still that man.

VAGUE

Something vague
A little bit strange
It might even tickle your brains
Like the upside emoji
Might even make you doubt your brains
Like I didn't understand that emoji
Oh! You would definitely land somewhere
Desert could be somewhere
Dryness. Weakness. Regret.
But why do that?
You could actually push on
And your brain could be turned on
Like the light of the halogen
Maybe you need some oxygen
So consider a little breathe
Let it course through your entire breadth

Amazing?
Crazy refreshing?
I saw the same light
When he said that emoji means excitement
So my resolve is quite
Darkness must give way to excitement
Desert is not the destination
I must chart my destination

Let's walk the walk
And so less of talking of the talk
Vague this moment
Clear this moment
If you hold your resolve
Then you won't lose your mojo
So it becomes my strong resolve
I won't lose my mojo

By Yours Truly,
Beulah

Why do Nigerians hate their job?

He said to me,
“Nigerians hate their job. Haven't you noticed?”

The statement hit me. I understand the reality of his point but my mind had never captured it in those adjectives. Hate is a strong word. It speaks of disdain. Come to think of it? He couldn't be far from the truth.

 The rude cashier at the paying point.

The wicked university secretary. Oh those university non-academic staffs can be wicked souls. Please do not offend them if you are a student.

The ever-irritated bank teller. Has any of them ever smiled at you? (Occasionally, a few of them do) Yes, they are nice when they talk to you about opening an account with their bank; then come to the bank to make withdrawals or deposit.

The frustrated bus conductor.

The angry fish seller. “That's the amount I will sell. If you don't want to buy, please go to another table. You are blocking my market.” Then she looks away.

The abusive Keke driver.

The nasty nurses. Forgive me but I had to use this word for them. My idea of a nurse is someone that brings back to life, someone that nurtures and brings comfort. However, if you think Nigerian nurses, wake up from this illusion. It doesn't exist in our hospitals. You hear them scream at patients. They don't talk to you, they talk at you. One time when my sister was in admission, the matron announced her presence each day with shoutings and mutterings. So she walks in through the door and wakes up sick patients who probably couldn't sleep through the night as a result of pains. I wish someone could secretly video what goes in our Government and private hospitals and then you will appreciate why those who can afford it go abroad for treatment.

That same period, she needed a blood test for a surgery in early hours of the morning. It was actually 2:am. So I got to the lab and knocked on the door to wake the lab scientist up. He comes out and says, “Why are you disturbing my sleep.” I was shocked. I said “Oga, you are on night shift. Are you supposed to sleep at all. Please stay awake. I might need to come back.” Now I was begging him to work for his salary. He said, “I've warned you. If you come back here again, I won't respond to you.” Believe me, it wasn't a threat. The doctors sent me back to the lab again that morning. I knocked on the door forever. This young lad never responded. I simply said to him because I knew he was awake, “may you never be in my position.” I was hurt that night because my sister was in an intensive state.

Why did I decide to write about this? Recently, I went to withdraw money from the bank. I had written out my request and one lady was attending to me. An elderly man walked up to the counter, filled out his request and handed it over to the other lady. She looked at his slip and said, “Are you sure the account number is correct.” The man said yes. She said, “This account number doesn't belong to this bank.” He said, “This is my account number and bank.” She then went, “I don't have time for this nonsense. I've told you this is not our account. You opened the account somewhere and then come here to disturb me. Please stop disturbing me.” I couldn't believe my ears. I had to wade into the situation to shut her shitty mouth up.

One, there was no crowd; it was just me and the elderly man.
Two, he was elderly. I thought Africa is synonymous with respect for elders
Thirdly, the man wasn't rude to her at all. So there was absolutely no reason to speak to him like that.

 I said, “Madam, stop talking like this and explain what he should do.” I then took his slip and crosschecked with the account number he wrote in his diary. It checked out. I said, “Papa please go to costumer service and lay your complaint. It will be sorted out.” 
He thanked me left. As he walked away, I couldn't help asking myself “Why do Nigerians hate their jobs?”

A Beautiful Encounter

Something amazing happened to me yesterday. I was billed to meet Ambassador Obinna Sixtus Nwoke, the Global Leader of Independent Pan-African Youth Parliament, the African Regional Director, UNESCOCFORGE and  the Campaign Director, Education Solution on behalf of our organization, New African Chapter.

 So I said, “Sir, please give me your full name; I’d like to Google it.” Well, I received a shock when I got to the venue of our meeting. He already googled me and had some basic information about me. He said, “So you are Vivian, a writer, a this and that”, I smiled.

The rest of the meeting went really well. It was both exciting and eye-opening to speak with a man who has accomplished so much, travelled so much, met with so many people and yet remains humble about his accomplishments. Another beautiful thing about him is his willingness to help other organizations, whether they are a start-up or already established. There are no airs around him.
I went home with one thing: whatever you are doing, people are watching. So please whatever your hands find to do, do it with all your might.

I WRITE ABOUT NIGERIA


I want to write about Nigeria
Of course not Algeria
And this is not a poem
And the usual rhyme schemes
With all the efforts to make my words sound like music
I simply want to write

I want to write about hope and change
And then hope that never hoped
And a change that never changed
And of despair and desperation
And confusion and uprisings
And of surprises and of broken roads
And of then of roads that were never constructed
And bridges that were never built
And of a people that wails
And of a people that holds on
And of a people that survives
(No, this people do not just survive)
And of a people that thrives
And of uprisings and misunderstandings

Still today we stand
And we must celebrate

But why is there so much quite in our streets?
Why are our hearts not painted in green and in white?


Rejoice we still must
For as one nation, we still stand
As the giant of Africa, we must still roar
No more to despair
And to sorrow
And to wail

Stand tall, dear giant
Rise again, above the blood and oil
Rise again, Oh giant!

I DRANK IN HER AWESOME



Waiting for you to take the crown

We both took it already
Weren't you aware?
Did you sleep through the ceremony?
Oh, t'was so beautiful a night
You wore a crimson and I a white blazers
 The galaxy stood still
 Only the stars moved
 They had to dance
And hard they danced to your awesome

I stood and smiled
And that was all I could do
As I drank it all in
The very air of your awesome

And each of us that stood
Could cut a slack and a piece
Of your awesome, my friend
For it filled the room
And then our hearts
And all we could do was
We threw our heads back and drank in
The very air of your awesome

THE STORY OF THE SINGLE

The story of the single
Very ready to mingle
Living life like a show
As with the tide, he rides and flows
Strong as a rock
Yet lacking the buck
Fickle like a fiddle
Never afraid to meddle
Such bravado accompanied with age
And yet given to such unspoken rage
Having the spontaneity of the snow
Oh, such an unsteady haze of flow

Yet the blessedness of the single
Lies in his ability to choose
Not allowing his decisions to dangle
Letting them dance in the wild all loose
Those are the days of training
Never the time of whining
Of blessings lost
And opportunities burst
Your singleness, sister of mine, is not a curse
Please do not carry this cross
And when they are all married
And your vision seems marred
Do not be deterred young lady
That time will come,my lady
For the goal of being single
My lady, is that you allow yourself mingle
In such a world of opportunities
Not taking your gifts for granted with such impunity
Be your best and fly high, my lady
It is the fitting answer to the malady
Of the lies and deception of the culture
That makes you loose your composure
And to you my dear man
Take this and strengthen your domain

Yours Truly,
Beulah, Vivian

FOR THE LOVE OF POETRY

So Yao and I had this conversation cum poetry bout. Enjoy it too because I did mightily.

Yao: Let's freestyle some poetry right here

Bey: He tells me about poetry
While my mind is busy with the business of pottery
All these people playing lottery
Is there any future in forgery

Yao: I swear I thought it all jiggery-pokery
But I dared not use mockery
When I knew she wanted to be lowkey

Bey: Now he's making me scared
All together I'm getting mad
Oh,  that word mockery is really bad

Yao: But why fret over that
When joy is all there to be had
Quickly pack it in like that bag

Bey: I'll take your counsel
Thereby my pains will be cancelled
Why carry a heavy weight?
When I could simply jubilate

Yao: But My pencil stencil that unique council
So we can call Gretel to call Hansel

Bey: Gretel and Hansel are on a mission
Not even you can deter them from that vision
Maybe we can find some other siblings
Who will have time for my rumblings

Yao: Rumblings for your mumblings
Hansel will accept my counsel to come in from his mission
To take part in our shared vision and bind you to prison

Bey: Hahaha, well I am a spirit
Can you imprison a spirit?
The very weight of my presence
Will humble any pretense
The very thought of imprisoning me is a pretense
And my essence outweighs such pretense

Yao: Alas I am afeared of spirits
Who will consume my soul like cheezits
So here are you credits
Take em all till they fizzle

Bey: Now, he's afraid of the spirit
Who will take his reality and spin it
Who will also take all the credits
Like the the tools in my toolkits

Yao: Ahh typical african misunderstanding my sarcastic wit
I will  soon pop you like a stuborn zit
And laugh as I watch your insides split
Spirit or no - It will be tat before tit
Then watch as the flames get you lit


Now, who did it better? Please don’t be a sexist. Lol.

Yours Truly,
Beulah

A PLEASANT SURPRISE

A lot of things have happened in my life in the past few weeks but the most pleasant is this: I got a mail from Konnect Africa, a group I participated in their online writing competition two years ago. The mail said:
Thanks once again for participating in the very first edition of the "I Know A Nigerian Star" Writing Competition.

After reading through over 150 entries received in the Contest, we were really moved and touched by the stories we received, including yours. Some stories actually moved us to tears. 

After much reflection, we felt strongly that we could not keep these stories to ourselves. We had to share them with the world.

So we carefully picked our selection of the Top 52 stories and compiled it into an amazing e-book we are proud of.

On behalf of the rest of our team, I am writing you today to congratulate you because your story made the cut and is one of the 52 stories contained in the book.

I am also writing you today to share with you a copy of the e-book, so that you can read it and let us know what you think.

I’m so excited; that’s why I’m sharing the news with you all. If you love poetry, then hold on for my breath-taking poetry collection that I would be releasing by December and my collection of short stories that will follow next. I told you; I will take the literary world by storm and then the music world and then you…lol

I’m grateful to God and excited.

Yours Truly,
Beulah

The Word Play

Sometimes, we need to stop taking ourselves too seriously and have fun. In the spirit of that, I decided to play around with words. Have fun with me *winks*.

She thinks of herself too big
With her many problems so big
The surgeon’s knife could not cut through
No, even the microscope could not see through

What is even wrong with some men?
With ego bloated, aristocratic mien
Such a poor idea of us women
Creating a second class position of worthy women

My heart is disgusted with such a man
My head shakes for such a woman
His pride denies this world of worthy women
Her foolishness denies her of worthy men

Did I hear men and women are equal?  
The bad odor of such statements even gives my brain a seizure
The Creator made His creation without measure
To your impact, you equal

Does a bra look good on a man?
Does it appeal to you, the muscles on a woman?
Speak to me of equality no longer
A waste of words in banter

Disgust my soul no longer
And maybe, even maybe, we can have fun a little longer


Hope you enjoyed my word play? Let me know what you think by commenting. Thank you.
