What Does It Mean To Be A Man?

 MY DILEMMA #ART… I know how to be stupid; I have incisions to show for it, as well as every day of my life. I do not know true happiness; you should see the walls of my heart. People say things to hurt me, with the perfect reply on my tongue; every day I die inside. Every day, every single day is a nearly impossible feat – I do not know how to stay awake, behave, and be human. They say a man is supposed to lose his child and “behave like a man,” I hold my ground and say, exactly how does a man behave?

Aren't We All Mad Here

  But we are all humans aren't we. The idea behind atheism is that everything has a history. Everything had to grow from one point to get to the very place, in existence, that it stands at a given time. People have seen the very roots of things and some others just came together to say "if this is the way people worship God then I refuse to believe." Trust human beings to their foolish devices, and you find that many others, far outnumbering the few who had a reason turned the whole thing to aggressive democracy--democracy but with all the unbridled verbal violence. People hate what they don't understand... I mean, someone will wake up one morning and say crazy things about God.  I'm not an atheist, can never be. The scientist in me just likes to dissect things. Feminism is the idea that women are equal, women are beautiful and should be included more. Where a man can work, a woman can. Where and what a man can own, a woman can. Women should not be seen in a negat...

To my Vivah....

Hello Vivah..... #ART... I am as humble as "I don't know how, or even why" and i am as boastful as "I love you." Each day my heart beats doesn't just mean I am alive, it's hope, it's truth. You're my heart; my hope, my truth... Mine Remember beyond words?  It won't fade... I think of you all the time and I cant stop, I miss you so much and it's deep, the times you're not by my side. Always remember, trust me but not for today. Trust me because we have a long way to go, because people will come, times will come, the world might not even agree to accept us. Trust me for tomorrow so you wont break when things seem to look down and unpromising, so I wont break when it feels like I'm not doing enough... A love above doubts, a love without bias, a love without a price tag, because my queen is without a price tag. We'll win against the world if they see it as a battle, just stay... Don't change with the tides because this love is...

IT SECURITY TIPS TO CONSIDER.

1. Don’t assume that your long password is fine. There is absolutely nothing safe about your ridiculously long password. There is what we call a dictionary attack, and the elder brother which is the brute force attack. The very first thing that is usually considered during hacks, is the fact that passwords are usually words that people come up with; words they know they cannot forget. In the cases where numbers are used, it is usually a number that is so close to home, it’s dangerous. Birthdays, anniversaries, etc. A best practice scenario is using such passwords as: singularity, spelled as S1ngul@r1ty. We often think that we have nothing to hide or lose. Maybe, but I have experienced hacks that were carried out based on this carelessness, and credit card information was stolen. The easiest to do is location tracking. Let’s not aid kidnappers. 2. Do not use a device because it looks impressive enough to be used. At most times, it is also not really advisable to use a device because it ...

Things That Make Me Mad (the beginning)

...life is short and cliché, so I kept quiet for Chibuzor. 2018, and I was on a road I didn't realize I was threading. Life is crazy stupid, believe me. I hate the fact that Nigeria my country was basically sold to us Nigerians, and it's twisted coz the stakes are low for us... We've always been that cheap. Maybe this is a digression, you know, those people who take one good look at us tech guys and assume the very good ones should be richer than the rest because we're smarter and should be more entreprising which in essence, means we should be very good at fraud. It irritates me even if let's admit it, many of us have done social engineering at some level. Maybe that wasn't a digression, I mean money was the elephant in the hypothetical room. I mean... Think about it, the other time, a thread was started online once where women were asked what they would do if they were offered a sum in the millions by a boss who raped them. I don't expect that you don'...

Me and I - Premonitions (Letter from a dead man)

The first instalment... ...so what, I knew I was going to die... Life began to bore me... The hardest part about choosing the path I was to thread was waking up the next day... I didn't want to. See, the hypocrisy started when I told myself I would embrace religion when I turned twelve... The curse of knowledge. I was more intelligent than was good for me. I turned twelve and the tides of time swept me. I saw madness and I cowered. I repented of my false resolve because I realized I was not grown. "...and by 25 I will be mature enough." I take three seconds from my reflection time to laugh at the stupid stupid little boy. I do not know what started me down the path of madness, maybe it was my father's blood... Maybe it was the French maiden from the turn of the century... Maybe it was just... Me. Let us be honest, you're Pisces as I once was so you understand when I say I was depressed before I turned 12. I got my heart broken more times than was necessary before ...

Touch of reality

#ART... Everything evil is beautiful In truth, pain is inevitable Many go the rest of their lives never understanding shame Many yet, die, chasing the gain Sadness is a game, life is only a projection What do you live for? What would you stand for? If fate would play a game and you stopped to exist, what would you say you left behind? We, all of us, man, fear what we do not understand; What we do not accept, refuse to accept, we do not understand - the truth Life is only a projection with a little touch of reality. Like a re-incarnation, happiness found me I took my first breath of life and my head hurt A thousand words do not necessarily mean speech Four hundred men yet, equal a legion-life is perception Touch your dreams, where do they lie? Hold your head out of water, all the way up to the sky When it rains, let the world sing Become like the wind, speak Days will come, patience is golden If this is not a poem, let your imagination carry you... With a little tou...

At a Point... Adijah

"...a great desire to help people... and draws you towards positions of philanthropic service. Because you are amiable and diplomatic, generous and sympathetic, you make friends easily. People are inclined to come to you seeking solutions to their problems." Did she even know? Yet, the question is, does she even know? My mind never lies... I looked at her once, and knew I would continually stare. To say she is beautiful is cliché... Permit me, I stopped being and even trying to be a child a long time ago. Does she remember? The stranger who walked up to me in the shadow of duos and refused my heart disappointment. I remember that expensive silver necklace I once bought... I just never thought human eyes could hold the likeness. I have always known of beautiful smiles but then... Is there even an English word that describes hers? I am a stranger in a familiar land, God help me and send me an angel. I am a stranger... Wait, Adijah, how did you find me... And how you...

Letters From Franco

I fell in love when I had nothing to do Kingdoms will always fall as they must while dust never stops rising. Babies of yesterday become makers of laws and triggers behind decisions. Slaves become kingmakers... For to the fallen soldier nothing is as powerfully romantic. Those who fall to death are always swept beneath the rubble of civilization which will ALWAYS fall to raise more dust in its place. Woe unto the easily seduced. I will die while my name lives on, declared the few too stubborn to die. I fell in love when I had nothing to do... The thing they say about idle minds, said the soldier at the second resurrection. The soldier made love to a damsel on the throne of dead kings... War maybe made him mad. Humour the dead princess... She just may wake. 871AD, Kingdoms fall. Franco

A Tale of Unrequited love... Twice over.

Adventures yet.... ..to say I didn't love you is a farce. Do I miss you? I don't know, does a farmer miss the first rain and sunshine that touched his land? I have always looked at life as a question, a question with holes in it. I prefer to ask how. The questions with the why's in them hardly move me. This is me, then. I packed my bag, stuffing in property I was bored enough to carry. To the world, pardon me I would like to skip to the intro. I have always believed that the best way to put people in their place is to overestimate them. And so I did... Those eyes, I feel like I got lost in them. That voice, it was soft, soft enough to draw me close. I saw beauty... I just had to. Above all, I saw calmness, then my heart sang a song. ...let us make man in our image... What do we think God wanted? He expected of us... I needed a soulmate, I had to feel I had found one. To the coy mistress, you were one of a kind. Her shyness wasn't as should have been, a m...

Allow Me...

That smile, yes that smile… Do you have any idea what it does? Allow me, just allow me stare at you and get lost in the maze that is your eyes. Allow me look up to the stars and see what the angels so covet .… Those stars in your eyes. Allow me breathe the air around you. Your voice is music, did you hear there was a song of angels? I miss you when I can’t see you… It’s just beautiful. I miss you when you’re gone only in minutes. It’s funny… funny how the heart works. You meet someone, a total stranger, an absolute alien. Your heart does this thing where it just says: I choose this one. That smile, yes that smile… Do you have any idea what it does? Have you ever stared at yourself in the mirror and simply thanked God for the masterpiece that is you? I want to sing you a song someday, yet can I ever do any number as beautiful as your voice? I doubt it. I climbed rocks, oh I did just to see into how much you could mean to me, and I fell… Fell hard for you. How ...

The Second Resurrection...

I ask myself today, what did I hope to do with so many hearts... I look at these children with their freedom before them. Allow me grieve with the ones who've never seen the dark four walls. The king whose toes I stepped on demanded for nothing, yet my heart was broken; I saw my mother cry. I said a single prayer and made one wish. That God didn't grant my wish will never make Him any less powerful than He is. Sometimes in my solitude, I wish I had planted my feet on the ground; the land was fertile. I should have placed my pots outside; the rains poured and they poured heavily... I ask myself today, what did I hope to do with so many hearts... The hearts I should have broken to save my heart, my soul. I cried, oh I cried.. Have you ever felt the power of the rains on cloudy days? Have you ever felt the weight of the wind on your chest while all you want to do is move forward? All I wanted to do was fall asleep, why did I fall in love? I hit rock bottom, the Pisces...

Hello Franco

Hello Franco, you’ve been quiet since the first resurrection. Maybe I will die tomorrow, this guilt won’t let me sleep. I marched forward in a rush and hit my toes on a rock, safe to say at this point I stumbled and fell. Mama help me, I feel like I am about to succeed because suddenly a stranger fell in love with me. Look at them; the world… Look at them staring. They said a lot of things, they offered succor, how do you even begin to console a dead heart? They said painkillers cure pain, pain is caused by depression, these same painkillers cause depression… a twisted cycle. Those who want to die live long, those who don’t even think about death get its sleepy knock on their doors, what has the world come to? History will forever repeat itself, a bored writer. If I could tell my secrets, and get penance, have a little sense of freedom, find the forgiveness that I have always craved, I wouldn’t still tell them. If I had just one wish to change everything, I stil...
