Food For Thought

I have seen people climb up the stairs into a plane; those in the economy class
and those in the first class cabin. None is carried into the plane in a special
way. Everyone climbs up himself.
.
And everyone in the plane is flown by the same pilot. Those in the first class
cabin do not have their own special pilot. And when there is a turbulent
weather, it doesn't affect only those in the economy. It doesn't consider those
in the first class cabin. It affects the plane and everyone in it.
.
I have seen people drive cars worth millions of naira. And when there is a hold
up, the car of the poor and the cars of the rich will be trapped in it because no
one drives his car in the air. Everyone suffers in it.
.
I have seen the corpses of the rich in golden caskets and the corpses of the
poor in wooden caskets. But none is buried in the sky. They are all buried in the
earth. And all the corpses get eaten up by the same termites.
.
I have seen people who have it all but desperately seek happiness and
fulfilment. I have seen those that have it not but are very happy. Oh! I have
seen, seen it all to know that no mortal no matter how highly placed is too
important. We are all guests to the earth and as guests, even the VIPs amongst
us must leave when the party is over. And when it rains it pours on all of us
because a similar fate awaits us all.
.
The World we live in is full of illusion.
Empty we came, empty we shall all meet with our Creator.
Vanity upon vanity is all vanity!
Nothing is worth raising shoulders for!! Remain Good with Love and above all,
Do unto others, what you want them, to do unto you. I wish you all well.

This Vindictive Government Has Used And Dumped Emir Sanusi

T emidayo Akinsuyi, Lagos Yinka Odumakin, National Publicity Secretary of Yoruba socio-cultural group, Afenifere, on Tuesday said deposed Emir of Kano, Muhammad Sanusi must have crossed some political lines under the All Progressives Congress (APC). Speaking in a chat with DAILY INDEPENDENT, Odumakin said Sanusi as governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) lied about missing money during the Goodluck Jonathan so as to force a regime change that ushered in the Buhari administration. “I have no strong views on his dethronement as there are more pressing important issues that should engage our attention ranging from insecurity to falling oil prices. Sanusi was a CBN Governor who turned the office to a personal one aid donating public money like a Donatus all over the place.
