What’s
really good people?
I
have to take the time out to give a SUPA SHOUT-OUT to all of my Kool Keedz out
there. This week alone I got the opportunity to reflect and saw just how
fortunate I am now as a father and uncle to so many FANTASTIC little people. Brains,
Beauty, Athleticism, Creativity, Appreciative and Respect, are qualities all
these kids have on lock and they all really get it. What a privilege and honor
to be in the company of you all. This is only possible in part due to prayer
and their hardworking parents so a MASSIVE Job Well Done to you all too. What
else is on the brain this week? Oh, how can I forget (PAUSE) BROOOOOOOOOOOOODY!
HOMELAND returns this week baby. The best programming on television by far and
one thing is for certain it ain’t going to end like crazy a** DEXTER series
finale. WTF was that anyways?
Ok
people; let me get focused…
Speaking
of HOMELAND, Nigeria will be celebrating another Independence Day in a matter
of days early next week. This is what now officially 53 for Nigeria? There are
so many ways I can go with this week’s post so lets try something I am often
accused of not having – “STRENGTH’S” based approach. What is funny is how I
often get labeled as being too negative on topics I choose to share my opinion
on that makes others uncomfortable. Here is an aside; you don’t thrive and
demonstrate repeated success in human service as a leader for over 15 years
being deficit based. In life I have come to understand that some people would
rather settle for comfort rather than have TRUTH. Hey I understand, I got bills
and mortgages to worry about too so the “P Man” is not one to advise anybody to
“f**k with the money” especially when there are mouths to feed.
Back
to the topic at hand NIGERIA or as I often like to call it NAIJA, man I love my
father/motherland no be small o. There are several things to celebrate as we
approach this Independence Day. Who is the African Champions in football? The
Bird Gang aka…SUPA EAGLES. Who makes and produces the biggest records and music
on the continent of Africa? Nigerian artist like Psqaure, 9ice, D’Banj, Timaya,
Terry G, Davido, Wizkzid, Iyanya, KCEE, the list just goes on. What is the
third biggest film industry in the world after Hollywood and Bollywood? NOLLYWOOD
of Nigeria. Who often likes to boast itself as the BIGGEST & BLACKEST
nation on planet earth? NAIJA, NAIJA, NAIJA noni.
TRUTH
TIME; all the aforementioned feats highlighted above are great and fantastic if
we want our reputation and custom amongst other leading countries to be simply
based on how well we can BANANA kick soccer balls, LIMPOPO & KUKERE on the
dance floor and totally make a BUFFOON of one another on the big screen. My
birthday wish for Nigeria this Independence Day is to work on helping to
restore some of its lost lure of BRAINS, BEAUTY, ATHLETICISM, CREATIVITY, and
RESPECT. These were all the same qualities that drew the attention of so many other
nations and people to Nigeria during its birth and rise in Africa. Hmmmmmmm; it
seems my only hope at the moment is to wait on my current crop of Kool Keedz to
grow up and hope they welcome the challenge and in helping to build an improved
Nigeria. Kool Keedz parents looks like you got you work cut out for you o.
TOGETHER!
