Growing Up - Olumide Olanrewaju by olumide54(m): 8:44am On Apr 19, 2017
And the kids were just kids. The anxiety derived from aging, the birth of something irreversible now
The recycling hopes and holes...

The Leaders
A blind man with a stave following a blind man without a rod; these are the leaders looking for our missing glory. But it would have been better off if they even had hearts. They’ll promise seashores in a landlocked city and lavishly launch the use of a flyover. The genesis of the land flowing with imported milk and honey.

The People
A B2 does not want another B2, because an A1 also didn’t allow him to have A1. And because E8s (he hates) it, he limits all his successors to B3 and B4 you know it, some C6s (ceases) to follow their dreams out of frustration, some end up working like a B2 (beetle) for an influential F9, while others start killing with C4. The hawk and the chick are both birds, we are mostly the problems to the solutions.

The Country
Noises everywhere claiming we are the giants of Africa. The lions are roaring now in desperate times, the cats are returning home gradually. Oh! You thought they are siblings… I laugh in Swahili. Even the weaklings close by overtook us, took the shot and framed us; like a photographer? Hell No, like a fast and furious assassin. We are now in our own jail like a court session with a blind witness, a dumb lawyer, an unstable suspect and a deaf judge.

It is well; the egg wants to hatch and become somebody, but some people prefer egg-roll to fried chicken. If you can still manage to ball in this crisis, you’re the real MVP. Don’t give up and drop empty hands. Pray for the rich but pray and bless the poor.
Some years ago, it was fair; now it’s ego and fear.
