THE FRAME

"THE LABOUR OF OUR HEROES PAST SHALL NEVER BE IN VAIN"...  Nigeria begin today,  the caption of the picture poster of this blog,  curled from a friend's page on face book drawn my attention to write this piece.  As a Nigerian with a substantial number of age,  who at least have an inside knowledge of how my country begins and how the middle journey became soar and the Democratic pursuing becoming betrayal I tend to pass my experience and to congratulate Nigeria for still being here. Being a 55 years old is not an easy one and to be able to overcome all challenges of life within these period is also a great miracle,  Nigeria have performed such miracle that no any other country steps on such path and remain alive,  take a look at the example of some African and Middle East countries that today remain in chaos because of a mere political difference,  Nigeria is a blessed country leader. 1st October 1960, was the celebration year to Nigerians,...

VANITY From Middle English vanite, from Old French vanité, from Latin vanitas, from Latin vanus, whence English vain. - That which is vain, futile, or worthless; that which is of no value, use or profit. - Excessive pride in or admiration of one's own abilities, appearance or achievements. - A dressing table used to apply makeup, preen, and coif hair. The table is normally quite low and similar to a desk, with drawers and one or more mirrors atop. Either a chair or bench is used to sit upon. - Emptiness. - (obsolete) Any idea, theory or statement that is without foundation. synonyms - conceit - egotism - narcissism - pride Beginning with the dictionary meanings of this word,  "vanity" I can take the futile meaning which is straight connected to many people.

Perhaps it was a bad timing for Gov.  Muhammad A. Abubakar esq,  of Bauchi State to revealed his last visit to Czech Republic,  he may think it was a quite dutiful to say all the stuff in that interview with the Daily Trust,  while him not knowing that,  there he will fight the many directional battles,  from both the internal opposition and the main opposition party. A blarney accusations from both angles can make even an assured composed personality like a lawyer to shrink,  but nonetheless we are watching the scene,  since the episode has just started and  we have like about four good years to be spectators. I will just like to analyze the His Excellency's visit. I was told he would be travelling to the U. S.  to honour an invitation by Gates foundation,  to fine tune the way out for upgrading the level of poverty in my state,  may be because Bauchi State is from the Northeast Nigeria,  that's  why we were chosen...

I visited many places in my life,  some of which have an impressive luring at a gaze,  many of which are irritant and no one can pray to be at the same place again from the first visit. Experience thought us to be patient when pursuing an ornaments of life,  because life itself is just a school where we learn from cradle to grave,  but the citadel between the Vanguard is the painful pursuit which often humbles even the most naturally powerful in everything. My life teaches me humbleness and modesty and humility and the struggle on which I fought by myself even when  I was very young baffles me a lot, some times its unbearable. My own mother is the centre of my experience,  when she teaches me of being myself and of course I do follow a the lesson as a child,  yet not fully grown,  I still learn from my mother.  We both learn from our different backgrounds as lads to our mothers we jus have to say a big "thanks"  to them. Growing up in...
