 *And the man died... 
Never look down on anybody unless you're helping him up. Helping others is how we help ourselves.
The good Lord gave you a body that can stand most anything. It's your mind you have to convince. - Vincent Lombardi
Some few minutes ago I iniatiated a change at the danfo (bus)park-Ikeja under bridge(in Lagos state). I made Ogba-bound passengers see reason why they should not sheepishly pay a 100 NGN as fare to Ogba tonight. Until I 'revolted',every other person entered like zombies and mumus.Sooner than later the danfo drivers reduced it to 80 NGN instead of 70 NGN-because of the heavy traffic(reasonable?).At least there was a change.
The big lesson: Dont keep QUIET in the face of extortion,wickedness,oppresion,
Nigeria will be great again.God bless Nigeria!
unfavourable policies, crude and refined exploitation...You are a Voice of Hope and Change. Same happened along Yaba this evening,when we resisted the LASTMA from arresting a danfo driver unjustly and wickedly-to mainly extort. LASTMA is now nothing but a pack of uniformed rogues and extortionists. Remember evil thrives when good men keep quiet. Dont fulfill Fela's prophecy- 'I no wan die...mama dey for house...papa...wife...pikin dey for house' Say 'NO' to these ungodly elements and plunderers!!!
Remember, Soyinka's insightful and challenging words-"And the man dies in him who keeps silent in the face of tyranny" 
*Nobel-laureate winner,Wole Soyinka,titled one of his bestselling books "And the man died...".

SHINNING SUN AND LEADING LIGHT.

SHINNING SUN AND LEADING LIGHT.
Dear Lord,
My heavenly light,
Is it back or front,left or right?
But I'm sure you will lead me aright,
Now and then,day or night,
You remiain my guiding light,
Shine on my sight,
Light my path,
From above, my leading light,
And I shall walk in the way,
And never astray,
For your name sake,
Amen
-Written by OLUDOTUN ADESUA, A RHETORIC POET.
