REST IN PEACE MY BROTHER

A TRIBUTE TO A BROTHER IN A MILLION

You tied us in a human chain and made us run down hill, you said if we ran fast enough we could fly up to the moon. Then you told us about cow boys and Indians, and built tippees of sticks and stones, you said one shot from your wooden gun an Indian bites the dust. You made us laugh at everything, mimicking miming and goofing around, you said learn to laugh my dear its always better to laugh than cry. You taught us to drive, to swim and the many scraped knees from stunting on our bikes were worth it when learnt to ride. Through bitter fights you taught us that in everything love would always conquer all. You were Mr Personality, the General, Usoro Papa, Udo Nna Ekpe, Apala you meant so much to everyone-a brother in a million, that’s what you truly were.


NEVER READY TO SAY GOODBYE

We’ re never ready to say goodbye
To someone we hold dear
If it were up to us, dear Tunde
We’d always keep you here.
But God has reasons of his own
And Plans we do not know
And these are always for our own good
Though it may not seem so.
Our arms are empty and our hearts filled with tears and grief
For we who loved each day with you
Now find these days too brief
Yet if only we could heaven see
We’d know you are happy there
And we would never call you back
When such great joy you share
And so well trust you to Gods great care
And know some day once more
Well hold you to out hearts again when we reach heavens shore

Prejudiced ?

We're back!!! I missed you guys . This is where we talk to each other from the heart. No frills, a little thrill, most importantly...we keep it real.Today, we'll be talking prejudice.
Prejudice? Yes.
Talk to me about the shades of prejudice you may have experienced. Class prejudice, race, social or economic? Would you call me paranoid if I say I feel this at every turn? Ill give instances. White folks against blacks, african americans against african immigrants, hispanics against african americans? Each person against himself? I do not seek to promote divisiveness but people, y'all know or at least sense what I am hinting at.

MY RXN TO BEN STEIN’s ARTICLE BELOW

Thanks for this enlightening article Mr. Stein. You have opened my eyes to a world of truth. The truth being that with bigots like spewing trash like this there is so much work to be done and today I resolve to keep up the struggle to drown out noise like yours ny fully supporting the President and his men in whatever ways I can.
You glibly insult our collective intellect telling us we voted for a pig in a poke? Take another look in the mirror Sir. His speaking up against characters like you makes his writings anti white but its okay to call him a pig in a poke.
Anti American diatribe by Jeremiah Wright? WHAT DID THAT MAN SAY THAT WAS NOT TRUE?
You should be ashamed that you have fed so fat on trappings of your office words like community organizer become an anathema to you. You forget that your first calling as a leader is to serve. Charity always begins at home Sir, that’s why OBAMA began with his community but of course that would be another dirty word to you.
You complain of a total zero academic record ( maybe you were in Argentina when the documentary of his accomplishments was aired). To your eternal chagrin Sir the confused little boy broke through the oppressive black experience, oppresive institutions fueled by the likes of you and is now the PRESIDENT of the most powerful nation on earth - AGAINST ALL ODDS. Its okay to cry Sir, go ahead. Now he is talking about health care for millions of Americans who don't have coverage, helping others yet again. Unleashing another act of terror in your comfort zone. So you embark on this campaign of calumny, to drown him in some WATERLOO? It aint happening. America was founded on freedom justice and EQUALITY for all and so may it remain. GOD BLESS AMERICA.


Ben Stein has actually written some pretty intelligent stuff so why hate on OBAMA so? Prejudiced?

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?
Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.
The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.
The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.
Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.
These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.
There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.
