The little bird that chooses to perch on a rope should be ready to dance, because when a deity becomes irresponsible, it will be reminded of the tree from which it was carved.

She could not choose one over the others because each of them played a unique role inContinue reading “Our Disunity Is Their Weapon and Strength”
Be Authentic and Be Open to Learning
There is a story about a king who had three faithful successors. Tradition required that a king name his heir at a certain age to maintain order and prevent future family feuds.

Majoring in Minor Things
I had a conversation today with a colleague whose daughter is only 23 years old. She explained how her daughter had already saved nearly 10% of the deposit needed for a mortgage.

The Immortality We Choose: Justice, Legacy, and the Cost of Silence
Life is often understood and viewed from perspectives that favor the observer. When you ask the grass in the field, the goat is the monster and the lion is the protector. However, I am very sure a goat will not see a lion as a protector, but as a predator. It was Wole Soyinka whoContinue reading “The Immortality We Choose: Justice, Legacy, and the Cost of Silence”
