I guess I'll dream about her again...

In January we plant the seed of love
Tending it with care and affection
The Sunlight of her dedication
Soil of her paitence, sprinkles from
The fountain`s of her laughter
February the plant slowly grows
Come valentine it blooms with flowers
In March we march on a Pilgrimage
The pilgrim and guide hand in hand
Through fields of happiness
Joy`s and sorrows
Strengthening the plant
Against the uncertainties of tomorrow
April has its charm as throughout the nights
We laugh on the fooled partners plight
I confess before you clearly see
April fool jokes are always on me
May we greet the month of expectations
The coming months are the best of our lives
Watching the tree that has steadily grown
I see the fruits of love ready and ripe.
June the first rain lashes the countryside
We Sleep soundly By the Fireside
As the breeze of july caresses the trees
My love My love is always besides me
August starts on a gentle note
Hand in hand we walk by the lake
At times we venture deep in the greens
Hiking camping hunting fishing
September I find her almond eyes
Splashing me with waves of desires
Night after night, day after day
Im engulfed in the flames of her fire
October and November we hardly see
The busy World around us
They are the best months of our life
We enjoy the fruits of the tree
In her arms the months swiftly fly away
If only november had 365 days
December finds us snuggled together
Dreaming how beautiful the year was
Awakened by the sounds of celebrations
We hasten to pen some new year resolutions
With pen and paper we sit down and write
' A handful of soil of paitence
Trust and care and undying dedication
A seed of love sowed by you and me
In a year will grow into a flowering tree '

Follow your dream Trouble arrives in measures, and we stack it up real high, until we're convinced, we have no reason to try. If you feel defeated, you're absolutely wrong, for if you follow your dream, you could never lose for long. Ignore the minor set-backs that pile up and trouble you, or you will build a mountain, out of the stones hurled at you. The future holds great promise, your destiny unknown, but God is always helping, and you're never alone. Soar bravely toward your goal. Let nothing darken the way. You can change your tomorrow, if you seek your dream today.

Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends leave footprints in your heart. To handle yourself, use your head; to handle others, use your heart. Anger is only one letter short of danger.
If someone betrays you once, it is his fault; if he betrays you twice, it is your fault. Great minds discuss ideas; average minds discuss events;
small minds discuss people. He who loses money, loses much; he who loses a friend, loses much more; he who loses faith, loses all. Beautiful young people are accidents of nature, but beautiful old people are works of art. Learn from the mistakes of others. You can?t life long enough to make them all yourself. Friends, you and me. . . you brought another friend. . . and then there were three. . . we started our group. . . our circle of friends. . . and like that circle. . . there is no beginning or end. . . yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. Today is a gift. That is why they call it the present.

''SOMETIMES THINGS ARE NOT WHAT THEY SEEM''
"The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,
the figure that she carries,
or the way she combs her hair.
The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes,
because that is the doorway to her heart,

You have two sides. One out in the field and one in.
Each man that's in the side that's in goes out and when he is out, he
comes in and the next man goes in until he is out.
When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's
been in goes out and tries to get those coming in out.
When all sides have been in and out including the not outs, that's the end
of the game.

Put another way, it just means love is blind!! That is all. Intelligence doesnt come into the equation when ppl fall in love. They dont 'calculate' so to speak, and calculation, deduction, conclusions are all premises of intellingence. One feels or doesn't feel and the reason can be inexplicable at the best of timesm, cos some ppl would be wondering just what the attraction is that pulled person A towards person B, when they can give a dozen reasons why the person B is unsuitable for person A and person A at the time of being in love just doesnt see any of those objections. He sees life through a love filtered lens and that is where the triumph of imagination over intelligence comes in ;D
An zaga na zago.
It is still imagination in use.Maybe its intelligent imagination.
Love is one complicated issue,one who is outside of the situation almost always seem to be the one that thinks he/she is thinking intelligently.And almost all the time the outsider has a general belief that if he were the one in the 'lover boy's' situation he would have done better.
I remember a story of one very popular tabi'i,i think Umar bn Abdulazeez was his name,one of his students was in love with a girl and he only finds pleasure idan aka yi maganar yarinyar/matar.Umar used to accuse him of being too much in love and the person would tell him that it was a 'jarraba' from God.
When it was Umars time to fall in love,the situation was so complex and what he did was worse than that student.
That quote afterall makes sense.

It is easier to build strong children because all u do is give them good nourishing food a sound education and good upbringing to make them strong. Bugu da kari, they are on the verge of starting life and hopefully have no horrendous experiences, if they are well looked after.
A broken man/woman on the other hand is someone who has had some devastating experience(s) that have somehow changed him/her in a negative way. They find life not worth the effort or worth living. They are full of regrets of how life has turned out and there is probably no second chance as time is against them. They are not starting out in life as is the case with children. They have already had a great share of life and it probably hasnt been pretty. Also one cant break them of some of their bad habits as they are set in their ways.
PS too many psychological problems attached to broken ppl.

re: it is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men.
this is an interesting quote and very important to all parents. In my view, what it implies is that it is beta to discipline ur children when they r young instead of waiting until they r grown n cant cope with life's many difficulties.
if u train them to b strong as children, u r preparing em to be strong as men, so that no matter wat life dealt em, they will survive, bcos u trained em to b survivors, whereas weak children are likely to crumble in difficult times. its just like the common joke about "aje botas" and "aje bakos", "boties" ie spoiled children are generally weak, while "bakororos" ie strong or hardened children are survivors.
i suggest that parents, especially parents of nowadays should note this!

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate.This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is it vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished, as the once vital voice of the verisimilitude now venerates what they once vilified. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous.

The Purity of the mirror without doubt is the Heart,
which receives images innumerable,
the reflection of every image,
whether numbered or without number,
shines forth forever from the heart alone,
and forever every new image that
enters upon the heart shows forth within it
free of all imperfection.

God is the light of the heavens and the earth. The similitude of His light is as a niche in which there is a lamp. The lamp is in a Glass, the Glass, like a glistening star, kindled from a blessed olive tree, neither of the east nor of the west, whose oil well nigh glows though no fire has touched it: light upon light. God guides to His light whom He wills, and God strikes parables for human beings, and God knows all things.[Qur'an 24:35]

"Secondly, what we have said (and I know that IMF doesn't like it) is that we are going to resist volatility. The Naira was being attacked. There were speculative attacks on the Naira. People were looking at oil price, looking at the foreign reserves, and said that Nigeria cannot sustain the Naira at this level and were therefore buying dollars.
The banks were round-trapping. So, the first task before me was to cut off the oxygen from round-trippers and speculators. What I said was, "look, we have foreign reserves of $40 billion. These banks that are playing come and buy $200 million. What is their total balance sheet? Let us hit them." And the moment I found out that somebody has come to buy too many dollars, I would go into the inter-bank market and hit him by dumping dollars on the market. And by the time people got burnt once or twice, they stopped it."

" I have always argued that the rotation principle is undemocratic but in our type of country that is heterogeous with several ethnic groups divided along regional sentiments, we have to allow this for some time. I believe that by the time each of the geo-political zones of the country have a taste of the presidency for eight years apiece, Nigeria would have matured enough to stop the zoning system. I expect that after 48 years from now, Nigerians would be more patriotic to look for anybody who can work for the country without sentiments attached.We have seen this happen in the US where an intelligent African-American in the name of Barack Obama was elected on his own merit and competence in a white dominated society. I see this happening in Nigeria one day"

Rimi shall be eternally remembered politically. Although I never liked the man because of some reasons, which prominent among them was his baseless utterances. I think I once stated more of these reasons aboard K-Online, yet I know he was a good leader. He at least left unerasable legacies here and there in Kano and Jigawa.

Nice one there. But how can one gauge that? Am afraid I sound naive. lol :)
not naive at all, the way i gauge my stomach is 'if when i finish eating i can pray immediately', then ban ci dayawa ba but if when i finish eating n in na yi ruku'u abincin zai dawo, then ni ci dayawa, dats how i gauge my full tank, n so far so good, bana cin kyeta. abinda ba a so is kaci abinci har ka kasa numfashi ko numfashin ya zama da kyar

Good people must've done some bad things in the past before becoming saints.
Therefore,if u are a sinner you can become a good person.

I don't think there is that necessity. Remember one thing: who and who were (or are) saints? The real Saint (s) never did anything wrong. Any ways I don't know or you mean saints like Paul. lol ;D

Sometime we may be cynical. We may even mistake cynicism for wisdom, saying things like 'na today' or 'which one be my own'. In truth we need to be hopeful about Nigeria. Even if you think things are not as they should be and you feel that you cant do anything tangible to make it better at least believe things will get better. Such belief will release the creative power in you that I need to make things better.

UmmuT, i kind of think Goodlucks statement makes sense o!
Here's another one:
From all accounts the Nigerian environment is endangered. Our generation has a duty to stem the tide of degradation that is becoming our lot. Collectively we have to work to roll back desertification in the North, erosion in the Southeast and deforestation in the SouthWest. These along with the clean up of the Niger Delta's environment are of vital importance to me, for oil and gas will not last forever. When these resources dries up and/or the world finds an adequate alternative, we will have to rely on our environment for survival. As the night gives birth to morning and days to weeks, our programme in this sector will become clear. I would need your support. I want to request that we all look after our environment for it will look after us and the generations that will follow.
Goodluck Ebele Jonathan.
ok ok, reading it again, i think it does. the second one though sounds like poetry 101, why is d guy rhyming? dont mind me, just dont want to give d guy a break, he still has not won me over, but there is still hope.
here is an interesting one:
"we are not in support of zoning and therefore,appeal to all advocates of zoning that they should be guided by the letters of the constitution and jettison any unconstitutional methods in their quest to grab power. . . they should apologise to Nigerians for criminally decentralising our presidency in their own concept of reform and class considration". . . .Arewa Youth Forum
now d big Q is, do we all feel like that?
I have hope in him now.
About Zoning,people misunderstand zoning.
Zoning is inevitable because Nigeria has been practicing zoning ever since.
If you say there shouldn't be zoning then it means you can have a president from a particular section,a vice president form that same section,senate president,speaker etc from the same section.
Zoning is an extension of the federal character that Nigeria has been practicing.
I have never supported it(zoning) in principle gaskiya.

"Oil revenue is highly volatile and exhaustible. We must have a plan to wisely use it to build capacity for the future - invest in infrastructure and in the people-- and not consume it today. We would also encourage all state governments to set an agenda and timeline within which they would no longer depend on oil revenue for recurrent expenditure. Our regional governments did not get oil revenue but massively developed the country. We must return to the responsible path. The FGN would develop an incentive system (grants-in-aid) to encourage states which are succeeding in making the transition. This agenda is fundamental to motivating all tiers of government to develop the non-oil sectors of the economy and hence diversify the economy.''......... Atiku Abubakar.
