i.e, Has anybody..

"...the purpose of this post is to bring memory to these youths since they will not go to memory."

The greatest thing that Abubakar Audu has going for him in his bid to return as Governor of Kogi state is the decibel of a large youth demographic. So many Kogi folks, 25 years and below, are all over the airwaves telling the rest of Nigeria that they don't know what they are missing by not having somebody like Abubakar Audu. The love they are professing for Abubakar Audu is greater than the love story between Ekiti and Fayose. Audu, they assure us, must "capture power" again in Kogi. Via APC. Of course!

Now, if your instinct is to blame these kids and land koboko on their post-pubescent asses, you are wrong. What is happening is that they are confused. They are mistaking weed for spinach because they do not know the difference. What elaloro in Yoruba philosophy asks you to do is to hold spinach in one hand, weed in the other, and say to them: children, here is weed and here is spinach. Once you have done that, you can ask for water, wash your hands like Pontius Pilate, and sing owo mi ma re o funfun nene...

You must remember that if there is something the Nigerian detests more than fellow Nigerians of a different ethnicity or religion, it is memory. The Nigerian who witnessed yesterday deliberately erases it for the convenience of today. The Nigerian who was too young to witness yesterday will never dig to find out what happened, laziness and ignorance being preferable to the inconvenience of memory and remembering.

Many of Abubakar Audu's vuvuzelas were in Primary and Secondary school when he stole US$1,719,954 from the treasury of Kogi state to purchase the mansion pictured here on March 15, 2001. The mansion is located at 12301 Glen Road, Potomac, Maryland 20854, USA. He initially denied owning the property but later confessed after a scandal. Nigerian political thieves have no relationship with mortgage in Europe and America. They buy their multi-million-dollar homes fiam. Just like that.

Many of Audu's young supporters are not intellectually equipped enough to make the connection between this mansion in America and their own abjection in Kogi; the connection between this mansion and the poverty of their parents in Kogi. You will likely hear that others have stolen more than Audu and even with his own stealing, we ought to be grateful to him for building a University, a Polytechnic, clinics, etc. It will take several modules in civics to help them see that they do not owe anybody spending their tax money on routine infrastructure any gratitude.

So the purpose of this post is to bring memory to these youths since they will not go to memory.

A final word to these young Kogi people: in 2014, Potomac, where Audu's mansion is located, was Number 3 on the list of the most affluent neighbourhoods in the entire United States of America.

Of course, you know that a Nigerian politician would consider it an insult that his property is not located in the most expensive neighbourhood in America. When you are done electing him in November 2015, his next mansion in America will be located in The Golden Triangle, Greenwich, Connecticut.

I have shown you weed.

I have shown you spinach.

My work is done.

"In the moment is the only place sincerity can be found, spontaneously. It is your sincerity that opens doors and knocks down barriers. "

Sincerity is the word. It is the power behind all success in personal refinement.
Pure thought is the power to command. Thought is made impure by fears, falsity, distractions, false desires, false personality, fragmentation, identification and so on.

Sincerity is pure thought. But what is sincere thought? Impeccable action. Being who you are, not who you think you are. To be sincere requires personal freedom. One must be free to be sincere. True sincerity is like freedom, it has no ego fear of being hurt.

A desire to do something that is said to be the right thing to do is not always sincere, it is most often just learnt as the ‘right’ thing to do. In the moment is the only place sincerity can be found, spontaneously.

We know that the intensity of your desire is increased by your level of desperation. The level of desperation determines how much that question fills your mind. The more it occupies your mind, the stronger the magnetic centre will become and the more likely you will be to attract the subject of the desire.

Remember the meaning of words and look for the concept that is meant as we are going beyond just the surface meaning of the words alone.
Why do we have to be desperate to have the emotional intensity to have a burning desire strong enough to create a strong magnetic centre?

The process is very complex as you have discovered by learning about the machine of the mind and so must be taught in steps so that you can understand each one as they must all be comprehended well. The final and ultimate characteristic is sincerity.

This world does not encourage the growth of sincerity. Sincerity is a quality that must be deliberately developed and cultivated in each person by that person. It is your sincerity that opens doors and knocks down barriers. But do you have true sincerity? Doubtful. Do you even know what that feels like?

All these qualities required in the process of building a magnetic centre are almost identical with slight variations.

We learn the importance of minute change making an immense difference to the outcome in nuclear physics. By the removal of one to three electrons, such a tiny particle, a radioisotope can be altered such that instead of taking millions of years to become neutral, it will do so in days. Iodine-129 has a half-life of 15.7 million years; iodine-131 has a half-life of about 8 days. So you see, on the atomic level, so small that you could never see it with your eyes or mind, such a significant change can take place. As it is in the material world, so it is in our inner life spiritually and in character.

Sincerity increases with the reduction of false personality. False personality decreases with the increase in sincerity. Either way works. Minute actions in your daily life can make this significant difference. The results are infinite in potential of what your life can become.

Now the question is how to become sincere if you already believe you are sincere. The first step is to constantly question yourself objectively on everything you believe, think and say. Are you truly sincere about that.

Ask yourself the 5 questions each night before sleeping so you can cover the entire day.

Try your best to speak sincerely. Of course, there are times that you should not be blatantly open about all your thoughts. It is very important to understand that sincerity and honesty or accuracy are not the same things.

To be sincere is to mean what you say. If you have to bend the truth which is necessary much of the time in this world, you can know you are doing that. Here we come back to self-lying and imagination . Self-lying is to believe what you say, that is insincere. To tell a lie and know you are lying and the reason you are doing it, is self observation and objective view of self. You can be sincere in lying to protect someone or to protect yourself.

If you know someone is trying to get information out of you so they can take advantage of you and replying to their question claiming you don’t know the answer is wisdom . You know you are sincere in protecting yourself. Here you have a chance to develop sincerity in your character while still surviving in the world.

Wisdom is necessary to cultivate true sincerity.
The one who develops in their environment according to the rules of their environment has the chance to control their environment.

Sincerity develops with more awareness of your own feelings, being awake rather than in a waking sleep speaking and living unconsciously automatically. Being present cultivates sincerity.

The practice of sensing in your abdomen while breathing and interacting helps you gain a sincere feeling of yourself and that develops sincerity in you. You can then choose your reaction consciously with awareness of what you are doing.
