Dipo Tepede.POeT

In a fictitious country called the POeT Island, there existed a leader whose primary responsibility was to secure and serve its citizen. The country was so small that everyone knew each other by name. Then one beautiful sunny morning, a man was driving across the road and realized a huge dead cow was on the middle of the road and deterred him from getting to his destination. He immediately called the leader through his cell phone and told the leader of the situation.

Present Location: Pacific Luck Hotel, Down Town Shanghai, China. I have been out of Nigeria for a while and my wife has been calling me to come back home; in her exact words «come back home, please (stressing the please)». I like it when she says please because it kind of put me in control; her lordship is actually begging me. That's empowering at the same time interesting; I am the gee, the man and her voltron (lol). It's good to be in control but don't mind my above joke, I am the one that needs and misses her most because she is my rock. The «busyness» of my project has actually engulfed my mind so it seems she is missing me more but that's really not true; I have truly missed her because she is my best friend, my counselor, my lover and my mother. I always remember the first day I met her; it was a thunderbolt of 7 thousand megawatt; my eyes were fixated on those large brown eyes light peach. I knew there and then that she was the one; I couldn't explain it but I knew. Series of events after this extraordinary moment has proven my decision. When I remember those numerous events; my gratitude to God has been overwhelming. I really despise composing text messages (I rather call) but I was moved to compose one for my one and only lover:

Present Location: Majestic Hotel, Guangzhou, China. I have never considered Will Smith as a serious actor during the era of Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and his debutant into action movies like Bad Boys also confirmed my thought but after watching Ali, I had to stand up on my 10 toes and gave him my total respect. I have learnt through Will Smith that anybody can be anything if they put their heart into it. I have now placed him in the category of excellent actors like Jack Nicholson, Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, Denzel Washington, Hugh Grant, Robert De Nero and our own Ramsey Noah. Ever since my «Ali» experience, I have been totally blown by his aftermath performance. His performance as Chris Gardner in «The Pursuit of Happyness» is such a hit that I find myself watching it over and over again. If you have not watched this film and you are someone who is serious about taking his/her destiny into his/her hand, then I will encourage you to watch it.

President Yar' Adua regime brought a lot of scare to heads of different government parastatals from the removal of the Head of NNPC to the restructuring of the EFCC. I personally believe this scenario immediately caused panic in the camp of Professor Soludo because he immediately reacted with the a «not too familiar»Â economic reform; deleting two decimal places from the value of the naira. If you have a thousand naira, your money is immediately valued at ten naira. The explanation was very simple; it would force the dollars to come down and improve the economy. I personally do not think this is true and I believe it was politically instigated. But on a personal level, my reaction to this announcement was how I was going to profit from this policy. I immediately knew that substituting my cash to liquid asset was the key to the solution.

Scofield is back to prison in another season of exciting, fast pace, suspense-filled episode of «Prison Breaking». This season is different just like the season in our lives are different and we all have experienced the prison in a proverbial sense but not everyone is willing act like Wentworth Miller's Character in the Prison Break. There something about the film that reminds me of the poverty scenario in Nigeria and season «3» actually confirms a true solution to a lingering and a debilitating issue. Let's start by breaking through the fundamentals of the Prison. The Prison is a place of confinement: A place or condition of captivity or unwanted restraint. The definition above clearly points to the fact that prison is not a place or position you would ordinarily not want to be in. To make it very clear, an example might be needed.
