Education without Liberation

This is an exclusive thoughts of someone, Mr Jubril Ayoola who is a learning scholar in  Nigeria, concerning the then colonial master's and the ruled. Thus it emphasizes: One of first few questions I asked myself when I started to rationalize is "Why Was I Born in this Nation", "Why am I not white". I started to relate with my childhood friends and schoolmates at a very tender age only to realize I am not the only one with that mentality. Later when I was around age 10, when I started attending Luth CMUL staff school I accepted the fact that I am black not because I willing wanted to but because I realized again that I have no choice but to accept that reality. Relating with my friends made me discover how much so many of them kept denying themselves attribution to our nationality or continent as whole. We're still young but we have this mentality, acceptance or denying, our inert feelings wish we were not of this nation. We feel this way not because w...

SANS QUOI ?

Je rêve d'avoir plus, une chose ! La chose qui me donnera la valeur La valeur que beaucoup s'opposent En s'opposant à travailler avec la vigueur Je vois des pensées des hommes nuls Si non nul, c'est qu'ils ont rien à bailler Autrement, je vois des hommes qui courent après des culs D'une manière étonnante: bouche bée Ils pensent que les culs sont faits pour les bander Hélas, pourquoi le monde semble-t-il dormir  à l'envers ? Est-ce le Dieu contre nous ou nos ancêtres ? Est-ce la faute de ceux venus par les mers ? Mais, qui va nous faire croire à ces vieux voix sans lettres ? Je prévois un village paisible Là, tout le monde sera sensible Sensible de ne pas s'abonner aux fourchettes pénibles Sans quoi, nous dormirons dans la servitude si possible ©2018 (French; TheLucky)

FEARLESS

In the valley of fears, One dares not to bring fears. But, who cares? Whether the fears bring bears or tears, Though one needs not to be careless. Silently, disturbed you are, When no one cares for who you are. Either a sojourner or a ruler, Shouldn't kill the aims of a courage carrier. Faith and determination convey the spirit of a fearless believer. On water and air, you walk! On lands and valleys, you talk! Your deeds? No one dares to calk, Even when it seems like a chalk. Altogether, you inhale phobias. Even when tempted with beers or pears, You still make your own bears. In the midst of the feared, you emerge fearless. ©TheLucky www.wapniyi.blogspot.com @ganiyuayanniyi

BELIEVING IS PRACTICING

By Ganiyu Ayanniyi Mubaraq With all due respects, I greet all believers with this revolution piece of writing. It has come to my notice since that many believers still practice what they believe no more, but, I just gained the privilege to take it to writing so as to express my view. As a popular Yoruba proverb says “A kìí ka ilé òrìşà kún ìlú”. One can imagine how diverse the Yoruba tribe is. As well, one can connote that the tribe believes that human beings are different from deities or idols. Basically, here I justify too that believing in one religious conception is also practicing it. Extensively, let me take some Yorubas as example (I’m also included), they believe in some old religious myths which are always outside their belief of either Christianity or Islam. Most of the stories are usually transferred from parents to offspring. Some of these stories might be fabricated either through real scenes or through scenes of baseless roots or maybe to create fears into m...

CHANCE OR DESTINY ?

"But circumstances change. Small causes lead to large effects. New paths are added. And all anyone can do . . . is choose."  -- Kelseyleigh Reber Sometimes I do wonder whether being in this world is by Chance or Destiny. Also, I do wonder whether one's activities were destined or were just by chance. Does Chance exist ? This question was geared to me and a friend of mine by some arguing neighbours. Suddenly, my friend answered and said; "Yes, It exists", not longer, a guy disagreed, he replied to my friend's view, "Why ?" furiously he asked, and he moved ahead to ask; "Does it mean there is no destiny? Because destiny is something meant to occur". I was somehow confused to give my words for the question, but, after some time I went ahead to say; "There is no Chance! If there is chance, then, there is no destiny; for destiny is a thing meant to happen" Now, my friend said; "It means if someone steals, it's his...
