"Show me a family of readers, and I will show you the people who move the world". (Napoléon Bonaparte). The trend at which we are operating these days will not bear great leaders; readers are leaders and when talking about reading you are not constrained to academics alone. Our modus operandi now is money, fame, love and sex. The bible says "Woe to a nation whose king is a child" (paraphrase). "Choose leaders that have grown in spirit and WISDOM". What gave paul a greater landmark above every other Apostles was his acquisition of knowledge and understanding. God the master minder knows the efficacy of reading . Paul once ordered "Get me my parchment". No wonder nations are crawling; the manual needed for a successful job is abandoned. Why won't there be extortion? Why won't there be fast crime? why won't there be terrorism? Why won't there be rape and other vices? It's because ignorance have eaten deep into their souls. Solomon asked for one thing: Wisdom to rule, and who is that wisdom? God almighty! Recently, some big ignoramus condemned the act of a first-class King in Youruba land for kneeling in the presence of the King of kings who can demand his life at anytime. (Note- He is vast in knowledge so he knows the power of reverence). Let's brace up and maximise our potentials because the youth are the posterity of the nation. Adefemi (Bookstomydoor)

The day you were born everyone rejoiced Shouts,whitles,drums,cymbals clanging together showing signs of celebration. Soldiers marching to the call from their commander. Student on beautiful uniforms, with white socks smiling as they perform the march past. Old women laughing and displaying gum of fallen tooths. Joy knew no bounds the day you were born. Years have passed.... People waited for the day you will walk. You are the hope of the people. They have been waiting for you, since the day you have been conceived by your white mother. Years have passed but you refused to walk. It is unbelievable that you are still sitting. Your mouth is filled with 32 set of teeths. Your legs and hands shows maturity.... But feeble are they. Please walk. Please walk. Please walk. This is just a shadow of yourself. When will you walk us to freedom? Freedom from oppression When will you walk us to liberation? Liberate us from impoverishment Why can't you just consider the labour of conception? Those that helped in your existence. Your mates are now men... Men capable of responsibilities. Men bringing joy, peace and prosperity to their parents and friends. Nigeria, arise and walk Nigeria, we need you to bring us out of obscurity. You are 55 and you're still sitting. Sitting is just demeaning When will you crawl? When will you stand? When will you walk? When will you run? When will you jump? When will you fly? Nigeria, we are waiting... Waiting eagerly We know you are loaded Loaded with resources Loaded with prosperity Loaded with riches Nigeria, don't die... Don't go along with abundance of talents... Let not all crystal lies turn you away... Nigeria do not die loaded.

I know it takes two to love But what baffles me most is what love is? Have searched and searched... But I could not find love They told me love lies in Africa but I got lies I was told it lies in Europe, I got a shattered heart Where is this Love? Just like stories about ghost That's how love is Many people talk about it but very few have seen Suddenly a feeling that is indescribable takes hold of me. Is this love? Can somebody tell me... She just came from where God knows where and triggers my emotions Is it loves that makes me dream of her day and night. Is it love that makes me ecstatic after speaking to her on phone. A day can't go without me mentioning her name I can't just control this feelings... I can't just bear this anymore... Am I killing myself She does not know about this feelings Jealousy turns my dream into nightmares My heart keeps pounding fast The thud thud thud of my heart beats fast like the sound of a moving train I never knew love has a partner called jealousy I cant bear her taking selfie with another man If I had known that the partner of love kills slowly... I wouldn't have asked her to come in when she was knocking. Jealousy beats me hard Pain in my heart My heart Will you ever get mended Love is wicked Or am I just a victim of circumstances.......
