INSPIRATION AND A BIT OF EVERYTHING.
PATRIOT OR CITIZEN?
If only Nigerian youths can show half of the commitment, passion and enthusiasm they show to Big Brother Nigeria and their contestants, the country would be great again.

Yesterday, I was fortunate to catch a glimpse of the much talked about show in a bar I usually watch football matches. To my surprised, the bar full to capacity but silent. I imagined Barca’s match had kicked off, but on seeing the undivided concentration on the faces of the gentlemen, Was Messi shot on the pitch? I feared the worst. To my amusement, Big Brother Niaja was been televised! Holy Kunle! BBN!

I settled on a seat near by. It took me 5 minutes to be abreast of past episodes. A young man who sat few seats away proudly gave us a detailed recap from day 1 to the applause of the audience. Ebuka Obi and Payporte must have been proud of him. You can bet I left few minutes later.

Watching Big Brother Nigeria, Football, Zee World is not a criminal offence by law, but i only wonder why same passion isn’t matched in national discuss.
The average Nigerian youth spends more time and resources on social media and other frivolities than on things that actually matter.
How do you defend having more apps than more news related outfits on your device? How do you understand a social media generation, who are obsessed with likes and comments than important discuss?

How many youths follow elected members of their constituencies on social media to? Fear not, Kim Kardashan, Nicki Minaj, Ronaldo, Justine Bieber, Zee World fill that gap. Patriot or Citizen?

Last week, a hard working young Jumia delivery officer tragically lost his life to thieves and cold blooded Nigerian youths who wanted Iphones they didn’t work for. Why kill a man who upholds dignity in labour, and in search for a legitimate living?

How about the recent attacks on Nigerian youths in India? Youths like you and I. As expected, the Nigerian youth kept mute, but thanks to bloggers it would have gone unnoticed. Rather than demand for justice, resources and productivity is channeled to canvassing for support for TBoss, Efe, Bisola, et al. Patriot or Citizens? Our founding fathers did not die for this.

Rather than show solidarity with the slain Nigerian youth, who was one of us, we preoccupied our minds with the # KeeptheChangeBae euphoria, while the men in agbada were keen on a certificate drama from their chambers. How can we be taken seriously by the older generation when they can easily distract us? Patriot or Citizens?

"The Nigerian youth loves to follow the trend, rather than set the trend." -Mallam Ezera Emetu
Sad to admit, the Nigerian youth is more of a citizen than a Patriot.

A citizen feels entitled, a patriot feels responsible for his country. We must graduate with distinction from being citizens to patriots, and cease being a social media generation only revelant on social media space.

We must take a hard look in the mirror and see why this country has failed our generation. Every generation negotiates terms and conditions they get, we must do same and cut a better deal.
The internet would always be there. We fail Nigeria and posterity if we elect not to unite and fight the common enemy, ourselves. I hope we do better and become Patriots and Citizens on the lips of generations to come. I have elected to be a Patriot. What have you elected to be?

My Suicide Story

Pained mixed with guilt, anger, regret, disappointment,
depression and an endless list makes it easier to walk away
and end it all. Doesn’t it?

The one question everyone has asked without exception is
why? Why did their fiend, child, parent, spouse, or sibling take
their own life? Even when a note explaining the reason is
found, lingering questions remain.

It is easier to hastily condemn suicide victims. Easier to
question why one should dare end a beautiful life. Easier to
judge and sermonize how cowardly the victims acted, give
exerts from the Holy Books and play the infallible. But then, is
easier to play a support cast than the lead role.

But then, it’s easy to forget suicide patients once walked
around with a smile, once had beautiful lives, dreams and big
plans for the future, oven joked and goofed around friends
and family moments before pulling the plug.

Over the years, I have had my share of suicide thoughts. Most
notably, a health issue I battled with during my service year.
I had taken ill few weeks to the resumption for the orientation
camp Isele-uku in Asaba. I had been on a grueling routine of
medication to get me ready for camp. I had dreamed and
waited for National Youth Service Corps (NYSC), so ‘who
would want to spoil this moment’? I kept asking myself. The
African in me cursed my luck, and wondered who from the
village could be holding the proverbial 'remote control’. After
all, being sick isn’t the best feeling in the world, is it?

Fast forward few weeks, and I was in camp, in a frail state. I
spent every single day of the first week in camp at the clinic
experimenting on new drugs; yet healing a distant reality.
Activities passed me by as I battled with a rare condition of
internal heat. My back, feet and hands burned like I was some
flour getting ready to be baked.

I prayed, fasted, spoke in
every tongue I knew and those unknown, yet it worsened.
There were days I had to lay on the floor not minding where I
was, or who was watching. It was no surprised I was
transferred to a hospital in Warri and only ... continue reading on my blog. www.ezeratalkblog.

Sentiments apart, bow can a serving governor abandon his duty post to go for a study leave abroad? Truth be told, this is a disrespect to Kaduna State people and democracy at large.
