JANUARY 1ST: Just Like Any Other Day

JANUARY 1ST: Just Like Any Other Day
I can see how much more we are happy to see or how much more we used to be happy to see JANUARY 1st. I just wish we stop being a jerk and make every each day to be like JANUARY 1st... If we can just shower love love on everyone each day just like we do on every January 1st,remember our old friends and lovers,Make things right between our enemies,just like we do on this day.
How Manny days do you have as a special day in your life-Birthday,Christmas,children’s day,Mothers’ day,Fathersday’s,Easter,Ramadan Salah celebration, your anniversary etc. No wonder we are not having a headway,no wonder we are stagnant in every or almost our dealing in life. As a teacher,cos that's who I am presently,I detest a poor student. What am I saying?

If you count how many special gays to you have in 365 or 366 days they are not even up to 100days. In other words,your performance per year is totally below average,so tell me how you want to make headway. Every January 1st we already have bunch of lists of our do’s and don'ts, lists we are tossing under the carpet or forget about just before the first quarter of the year-that's if it made it before the end February. We want to make sure we are not holding grudges with anyone. our excitement to start a New Year is of a high esteem. We become so very cautious before the new year cos we don't want any negative brutality to the start of the new year. Our prayers even become so intense than any other day.
Some people even make it a tradition to make sure they attend religious institution,at least if they won't attend any other one. Am not saying it's compulsory just an example. What if you make every each day count? what if you make every day a New Year? What if you work hard just like how you have worked hard to make this New Year happened and worthwhile? What if,what if what if...
  Each day you wake up, you wake up with billions around the world but when the sun sets, not all retire. It is a joyful privilege to note that you are a unique person among billions of people who wake up each day to walk on the surface of the earth. It is a noble responsibility to note that you have to use this privilege effectively.
  “Some people would not waste any part of today if they knew that by this time tomorrow they will be dead.” ...
  “A real value of our lives is in how we use our time as we journey from the womb to the tomb. A great difference between the womb and the tomb is the w and the t! Wasted time! We waste great and precious time as we journey from the womb to the tomb; in the end, we remember the w and the t in a simple statement of regret, 'had I known' ! The wasted time! (Quotes from goodreads.com)
JANUARY 1ST IS JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY MY DEAR.

Èṣù in English is Èṣù not Devil or Satan

Other names Echú, Exú Venerated in Yoruba religion ,  Santería ,  Candomblé Region Nigeria ,  Benin ,  Latin America Ethnic group Yoruba people                             Image from wikipadia From the time of the first English translations of Yorùbá words in the mid nineteenth century, Èṣù has been rendered as "devil" or "satan".The first known instance of this came from Samuel Ajayi Crowther's "Vocabulary of the Yoruba" (1842) where his entries for "Satan" and "Devil" had Eshu in English. Subsequent dictionaries over the years have followed suit, permeating popular culture and Yorùbá societies as well. Lately, many online campaigns have been set up to protest this, and many activists have worked to correct it.There have also been quite a number of academic work examining the mistranslation. The translation on Google Translate took up the same earlier mistranslations. This led to a n...

The Meaning of Yoruba Names

The Meaning of Yoruba Names   By Ayodele Adeniran  Distributed by IrohinOodua   Profound Meaning Of Yoruba Surnames (Learn Yours Now!) There are many Yoruba names whose meanings are now lost due to the facts that the words forming the roots of those words are no longer in use.  For instance ask the young Master Olopade the meaning of his name and he will probably tell you that his name means " policeman has come". Ask Mr Olopade, his father, and he would probably tell you it means "the owner of the staff has come". The two of them would be wrong as Olopade actually means " the Opa devotee has come". The same goes for all other Opa names like Opatola, Opadotun etc. Those names show that the ancestors of the bearers of the names were worshippers or devotees of the Opa Cult otherwise called Awo Opa, one of the religion cults or secret societies proscribed by the British in colonial days.  Or imagine another scenario: Pastor Obafemi, the pastor o...

Small Thinking is the African man Disease.

Small thinking is the African man disease.  Doing my small thing to survive  As far as it feeds me and my family  As far as I have a nice car As far as I have a big social title  As far as I have a nice house  That is it. That’s the end of our world We don’t yearn for innovation and grandeur  We don’t project ourselves beyond and above today and tomorrow  We have no project to conquer the world and spread our civilization  We have no will to power and affluence All we want is a small shop in the corner or a position in a cubicle  Ending up glamorous beggars in nice suits, spitting clever sentences, quota filling employees and subalterns for everyone else.  Sex is our dominant thinking  Alcohol is the fuel of our drivel Greed had turned us into monsters for each other Corruption has made us lazy and content. How to awaken the African man? Small thinking is the African man disease  We want everything to be handed to us We import ...
