GREEDY OFFICIALS; ASK JUDAS




From time immemorial, the pace of development and human progress has most often been intercepted or slowed down by cunning and greedy men; men with hyper insatiable appetites; the power huggers, sellers of their nation for a bag of silver. from the Senate to our representatives to past  head of state and government, and presidents in our 21st century democratic eras; are men who the populace elected and those who selected and manipulated their  way through to the cabin of power; to sit amongst the officials deciding the affairs and destiny of our dear nation; unfortunately they have consistently mis-navigated the moral, economic, political, socio-religious and educational compasses of this nation to an island where they have held hostage and continuously loot the cargo of our destiny; concomitantly siphoning the passengers; on our route to nowhere yet.
Ooh kinsmen of Judas; men in agbadas, saris, Durban ties and robes; taking their seats amongst the noble; callous ones who hold the bags of our treasury, they hug the pillars of our authority, they are green snakes in green grasses; appointed as  disciples with the great commission; to lead us in and teach us the way of life; a function of grace; but these ones sees the position as an opportunity to  loot the treasury, to sell our beloved country for thirty pieces of silver; wait!! That’s an understatement; because these ones are aspiring to loot us off trillions of dollars. like Judas, they share piety with us; at the gates of entrance into the cabin of power; they evangelize to  us, they were part of the distributors of the multiplied loaves of bread and 2 fishes which GOD the father deposited in the crevices of our soil, but the aim  of their distribution is to gather the remaining 12 baskets left over; they have been eyeing it from afar; in fact there has never been a moment when they wanted the multiplied favour to go round; they just want to harbour the multiplied and the leftover; and to further double the leftover via the labor of the crowd which they go around to engage in after they had temporarily departed from the master.
Ooh, Judases; the lots of our leaders; of the Niger – area; why are you so filled with greed as one drunk with drunkenness, your level has graduated to the heights of stupor, yet you gain no pity, injuring yourselves; as you feel you’re destroying us. officials in our political sphere, the committee of our destiny, you are not tired of deceit, forgetting your pedigree, your integrity; well I don't fully blame you; as you are been deceived and fueled often by certain persons who should have stood their grounds and speak the truth to your faces ;  
and you all prophets of doom ,  Alfa’s and bishops, imams and pastors; advisers in the corridors of power, those who should bring consolation to the people; you should help instil the fear of GOD in this greedy ones, you should be standing firm in the laws and statutes of the LORD your GOD,  but you've been infected, you are keen on taking  the pieces of gold as proposed to a character - kinsman of Judas; Balaam son of Beor : you would take a fee, even consider the handsome reward from these greedy rulers, to curse all of us and then plead to GOD to grant the evil desires of your new masters. 

But note; you will all go by greed 

Ask Judas: for greed, he strayed away from those who were saved; those who were commissioned to spread the good news to the uttermost part of the earth. 
Those whose end was glorious and homebound; he lost it to greed.

Ask Judas; his own conscience eventually pricked him, he saw vanity in all he had salivated for, the ill-gotten riches of this world. He destroyed himself

Greedy officials; ask Judas; while you acquire all and all acquire you
And you eventually drown in the greed that once pushed you. 

Ask Judas; before your acquired loots, buy you a land, a potter’s field. To bury you in and be tagged the field of blood. For all you acquired was a product of greed.

PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD (ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS)

POEMS THAT INVOKE THOUGHT PREPARE TO MEET YOUR GOD (ON WORLD TERRORISM AND HEARTLESSNESS) By Bolaji Olaniba There is one whose ambitions are greater than the sacred life of the people He tosses his glass of wine to the massacre of the common man The news of scattered human flesh pinches him not He is immovable, because of his never satisfied political want *Sigh* Hope in the existence of the SUPREME ONE; Common man. Though the ideology of our political dogs seems greater to them than the human Blood All around the world are leaders whose smiles are as Dane guns *Sighs* Hope in the existence of the ALMIGHTY ONE; common man. They stand upon watery ideologies Claiming they will see it out with all their ability, That they represent men called; ordinary But they end up with staunch grudges Maiming same beings by virtue of great greed. Religious they say, political they claim Being sponsored by those who put out teethes of deceit Me

“SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE BEAUTY OF CULTURAL CONVERGENCE”

  “SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT AND THE BEAUTY OF CULTURAL CONVERGENCE” (THE LAGOS CASE STUDY) BY   BOLAJI OLANIBA One of the important factors that lubricates and checkmate the frictions inherent in multicultural societies is the presence of social development; which entails the establishment of adequate and sustainable infrastructures and the availability of equal opportunities for members of every ethnic, cultural, religious groups present in that society to access and move up the rungs of Socio - economic Ladder via the societal/lawfully prescribed way without restrictions of any kind. It is of no doubt that many Nations are plunged into this phenomenon, while some have chosen to see and live with it from a “Rainbow perspective” and work with it as such, with fruitful results and sound social development becoming the aftermaths, others have seen it as an unfortunate taboo that must be revoked; thereby leading to the creation of War situation and destruction on the assumed ba
