keep your hands clean!

I feel the urge to write this post in a first person inclusive form but i am sure i ain’t the only one who experiences this.

We as people are forced to seem a paragon of civility and efficiency!

Your hands are never to be soiled with mistakes and nasty deeds. We are supposed to seem all innocent and all. “innocence”- lack of experience with the world and with the negative things that happen in life; the lack of knowledge; freedom from guile or cunning.  In simplicity lack of worldly experience or sophistication. But here is the simple truth. you can not be clean or innocent in this world, its in all ways impossible. the true definition of innocence is ironical to be honest.

It means to maintain a spotless appearance by using others as scape goats and cats paws to disguise your involvement in deeds carried out mentally or physically

And if this is acceptable by you, then u should know my definition of dirty hands.

Rationally speaking, or writing, “lol”  they are hands that toil effortlessly in all ways possible, hands that carry and do not conceal their scars or their dirt from the view of the  world. they open themselves up for amendment, modification and remodeling.

So be dirty. it’s the one true path to positivity, self-improvement and true accomplishment.

Cheers!!!

If tomorrow was seen as
A reflection of yesterday’s
Staring into the still water
That is today,
Maybe mother nature
Would wail
For her bundle of joy.

Seeds nutured in
The incubating minds
Of men with intentions
Of gods, long haired
And white skinned.
They rode iyemoja
Till she led them ashore.
Wombs distraught,
A traitor,
She conceived their ideas.

Down they chopped iroko
Into tombstones of
Fleeing spirits
Unable to weather the storm,
They who tormented mothers
Till childbirth became meaningless,
Now soars cowards
Unable to defend their homes.

Eledumare watched,
Arms akimbo
As ifa turned a carved doll,
An art piece
Sold on the…

Time VIII

Seun Odukoya

The hazy glow of the 2 am moon pierced the curtains, providing sufficient illumination for any observer to see through into the room – if there was such an observer. But the only people who would have any interest in the occupant of the room were already inside.

Chris sat up in bed and looked at the other occupants of the room – that is; the other occupants of the bed.

In sleep they looked like effigies carved out of ivory – except the soft rise and fall of their breasts were too real. They cuddled each other like siblings – the taller and lighter one holding onto the smaller and darker’s hips, while smaller laid her head on the other’s breasts. There was a light sheen of sweat dusting their shoulders, hips and so on – legs tangled in the aftermath of passion.

He looked at them – and…

PINEAPPLE EXPRESS FOR THE MUNCHIES

The Sauvage

We don’t recommend that you smoke Igbo, Grass, Mary Jane, Mary Jane’s cousin, Green,The Green Monster, The Magic Dragon, Skunk, Kush, Maui Wowie, Hemp, The Devil’s Lettuce, Weed or whatever you call Cannabis Sativa but we acknowledge that a lot of you blaze so why not add value where we can right?

After smoking a few Wacky Tabacky spliffs you’ll sit as your earthly concerns fade. You’ll be higher than a fucking kite. To quote the Capoeira Panda, “you’ll be higher than the temperature in Maiduguri” (A city in Northern Nigeria that’s practically in the Sahara Desert. Temperatures there can be as high as 47 °C).  Your words will become heavier, your mind will become foggier. You’ll think that you’re the cross between Aristotle and Confucius, even if your greatest musing is “hey bro, pass the dutchie pon the left hand side.” You’ll relax your mind and let your conscience be free and you’ll be rolling…

…and on a lighter note Naija tackles Ebola

The Crazy Nigerian

ebola strainYes…it’s no secret – if you’ve been following the world news over the last couple of days you’d have heard that there’s a JJC VJC (Virus Just Come) in Naija causing quite a stir. Don’t worry about little ol’ me though, my federal government is assuring citizens that they’ve got everything under control. Oh wait! Just got an SMS from 38296 (Airtel’s headline news number) – ‘The Nigerian President declares state of emergency over Ebola’. Huh?! Yet I was able to miraculously drive freely from Ikeja to the island today! *Deactivates dodgy sms news service* Now where was I…Ebola is trending not just on twitter but on the lips of many concerned citizens. The two questions most Nigerians desperately want answered now are:

  1. How to prevent an Ebola infection?
  2. Is there a cure for Ebola?

Bee Bee=_ (_) o-=)Holla For your Exquisite beads...._285751As far as prevention goes I’ve noticed quite a few colleagues in the office sporting…

CAPTAIN ‘KEZIAH JONES’ THE RUGGED – Audio & Visuals

TOSINGER'S BLOG

Hiya,

Have you heard of the  Guitar Wiz Musician Keziah Jones? What?! You haven’t?  Well, now you do, no dozing on a musical bicycle 🙂 The continents are loving his “Afro BluFunk” music, Europe in particular. An eccentric Afro ~ Bohemian, he is very relevant to the new wave of the Afro musical scene even though he has been around for a while. I personally love his branding, the uniqueness and incorporation of Afro elements ( especially on his latest project which depicts him as having superpowers dressed in a simple yet dramatic costume made out of African Ankara fabric) Here are a few picks from his photoshoot,  so distinctly intriguing, a representation of a musical African SuperHero.. His new album ‘Captain Rugged’ is available on iTunes.

Biography

A Nigerian-born rocker heavily influenced by Jimi Hendrix and Fela Kuti, Keziah Jones gained popularity in England and France with…

should I say less or more?

i have often heard that when you are trying to impress people with words u appear as common ‘cus u say too much.i learnt from my father that the wisest of men hardly make utterances except necessary.
well i could say this blog was created to be in-between but there isn’t an in-between in life, you are either all in or out up or down there really isn’t any balance no more so I GUESS i am all in.
This blog is an escape for my distracted mind and thoughts which would be shared with who so ever is interested to ‘explore’ ’em. Exploring! is a habit I am trying to fall into, and reading also which i don’t particularly fancy or i did not particularly fancy but I’m working on that. I am hoping i can get my lazy a** to apriciate life as i explore from the little wonders it throws my way.
welcome to my thoughts! i am OREOLUWA.
