I wish Buhari Goodluck

On January 28, 2015, a 15-foot shark with a gaping mouth was washed up on a beach in Burias Pass in Albay and Masbate provinces, central Philippines. The Bureau of Fisheries and Aquatic Resources in Albay province will investigate to determine the cause of the shark's death.
However, in over 3 occasions within the last 6 years in Lagos Nigeria, sharks have been washed ashore only for our people to butcher them and eat without finding out what is the cause of its death or how it came about.

These have continually shown that poverty mindset has crushed the pride of an average Nigerian. Even if the devil uses sorcery to provide anything synonymous with food, a Nigerian will take, eat and do his bidding. Little wonder that our politicians have continually shown that stomach infrastructure will always bring them the desired political results.

Taking a close look to choose whom to vote for in the Nigerian Presidential Election 2015 between his Excellency, Mr. President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan (PGEJ) and the Ex-Military Head of State, General Mohammadu Buhari (GMB) is like making a choice between the lion and the deep blue sea. If you decide to go the lion path, you will be devoured alive and on the contrary, if you opt for the deep blue sea, you will drown.

So as Nigerians decide to go to the polls on the 14 of February 2014, who is really better? PGEJ has allowed so many Nigerians to continue to die without making any tactical resolve to bring to end the uprising of Boko Haram, thereby making him the bloodiest civilian president that has ever ruled Nigeria.
GMB on the other hand may be linked to the uprising in the North since his last failure to win the 2011 presidential election, some may argue on the contrary but I still wonder what will make a General to cry on national TV. The aftermath will ever be fresh in the minds of some families that lost somebody in the wake of the crisis.

My resolve! As long as we continue to allow religion and tribal sentiments to cloud our minds, Nigeria will continue to retrogress. Who cares if a pilot is a Muslim or a Christian? Who cares if the footballer is an Ijaw man or Fulani? What we only care for is for us to arrive at our destination safely or win the match. PGEJ cannot change the lives of the common man, neither will GMB under the stronghold of Senator Bola Tinubu make any difference. So what do we do?
Let us pray for the Election Day and ask God to give us the right heart to make the right decision. I will vote, but will I vote for PGEJ or GMB, I still don’t know!

God bless Nigeria, God bless us all. Julius Macaulay

Fatherhood - a new dimension to parenting 3

Who sits on the passenger side by Daddy? When I come back from work on time, I do take Micks-Mimi (Michael) for a drive around the neighborhood. I strap him on the passenger’s side in front and we go for a ride with some good music. Even when taking him to school, Honey (mummy) sits at the back and I never knew it had become a pattern until our drive to church on Sunday. I instructed that Micks be strapped at the back seat while Honey sits in front. All of a sudden, he starts to cry uncontrollably and we all begin to wonder what was wrong. It was after about 5 minutes we realized that he wanted his seat in the front. Common, who told you, you own the front seat? Well, for peace to reign, Honey had to take the back seat while Micks was brought to occupy what he feels is his rightful space. Immediately after the service, a new rule was introduced in the house: Micks must always stay at the back seat, no matter what!!! God help us parents, lol!!!

Fatherhood - a new dimension to parenting 2

Am back to Michael Ayomide Macaulay who has continued to call me hunny...(honey). The new thing for him is "i'll beat you." anytime he is scolded for doing anything wrong, he fights back! but i've got remedy for his actions, i beat him back very hard so he leaves me to mummy...lol. they are really smart, they know what they can do to who they can get away with it! but funny enough we're best of friends....

Fatherhood - a new dimension to parenting

Today is July 19, 2013. so Michael is exactly 1 year, 9 Months and 1 week. When i'm at home, he calls me "hunny" but when he misses me he calls "i want my daddy". so why does he call me hunny even when i specifically tell him, "my name is daddy and not hunny" honey being the pet name my wife and i calls each other so that sticks in his head! then it begins to dawn on me, kids learn fast from there environment, what they see you do, hear you say and not what you want them to do. so my sense organs are up! so, no dirty words in the house, no yelling at anybody .... just got a call, continue 2moro

Laying Hold to Power by all Means

Recent events in the Nigerian Governors’ Forum make me wonder! When are we going to truly embrace democracy in Nigeria? One question I’m asking is "if 36 democratically elected governors cannot conduct a simple election to choose a single consensus candidate void of no conflicts or prejudice or manipulations, then how can the same people work to conduct a free and fair election in Nigeria. The Nigerian Electoral Jingoism must be made real. Our self-centered leaders should look at things that will benefits the citizens rather than selfish interests of laying hold to power by all means. The Nigerian predicament is bigger than any PDP, APC, CPC, ACN, ANPP or whatsoever parties we have in the country. Boko Haram has gone out of control - is this really true? if it is, why don't they cross-over to Niger State? "Just an imagination". Until our Leaders come to the understanding that time and chance happen to them all, they too shall soon pass and they will not be remembered for anything positive. Build infrastructures, start positive initiatives. If you don't have good advisers, learn from the people that are working, for example - Babatunde Raji Fashola, Governor of Lagos state and his likes. What will it benefit a leader that amass so much wealth yet when you die, people will say thank God, good riddance to a bad rubbish. Ponder!!!

Have You Ever Wondered Why?

Over and over I wonder, why? why are the things you really wish for always evasive? why do certain things happen? Just wondering why and I taught out loud to myself, WHY?

SEASON OF LOVE

"Baby, I Don't Know What Love Is
Maybe I'm A Fool
I Just Know What I'm Feeling
And It's All Because Of You
Don't Tell Me
I Don't Know
I Want The Truth
Cuz They Call It
We Call It
You Call It
I Call It Love...
- Lionel Richie"
Some people begin to question: should only a day be set aside aside for love? should you give a gift to your loved one once in a year? what about the other 364 days in the year?
Either way you ask the question, Love is meant to be CELEBRATED. Some people may be too busy trying to make ends meet, some are too busy caring about the family, but on this day, it is brought to our conscious mind that we all NEED LOVE.
Have you ever told somebody - "I Love You" genuinely and you don't get a smile in return? I wish We could all live for Love!
Our Creator - the LORD God Almighty in his abundance Love for Us, sent His only Begotten Son JESUS CHRIST, not to judge the world but to die for us that we may ENTER FULLY in the Love that He Had for US which was why He CREATED US in the first Place.
My short note on Love will not be complete if I fail to tell you - I LOVE YOU and to my beautiful Family - My Sexy Mama & Our Bundle of Joy - I LOVE YOU.
