Bought; Maybe, Brought Home: A GOAT and COCK TALE

 As the meal was splashed to the ground, I could sense it wondered what kind of meal it was, right before its eyes is a ready to eat meal. Nevertheless I realized it wouldn’t eat, maybe so. Another unnecessary job for me: ‘cleaning it up will be easy but annoying’.

Then it made a few steps closer, oh!  It might eat. Closer as it got, the time between making the first peck and when the food got splashed kept increasing. Then it looked right, left, right again, still not made the first peck! What was wrong? It kept wobbling, going back and forth; looking sideways as if trying to protects its territory. Then I recollected a scene of feeding poultry birds. In fact it was always a struggle for the meal among these hungry birds. Does this bird feel other birds are there to have the meal with it? Is the bird trying to protect the splashed meal that I know could be enough for two of its kind (not your regular bird)

I recollected a lot of opportunities I have had in the past where I had to compete for a spot, I ensured I put in the needed effort required in other to receive my fair share. Like Larry, it’s not enough I succeed everyone else must fail was my mantra (still contemplating a renewal of mind). 

This meal  was for the bird alone yet it was trying to protect its territory, like my thought pattern, it’s not enough it got its share, every other bird present wasn’t suppose to take a peck. Unfortunately, it was for it alone: some meals are for you alone, take it! No one is competing with you for it. In most cases, others may not even be interested. 

For the GOAT, we celebrated Christmas with it, the COCK, it was reserved for future use. Sometimes it’s not even your time to die! Take that step.

BOGC'S TAKES: WHAT MAHAMA DID BRIGHT WOULDN'T DO

Consider the options one gets as a leader; to put measures in place to ensure your tenure turns out to be a success; to relax and watch followers dirty themselves in the mud while waiting for end of tenure or to catch these followers in any act, educate and point them to the right cause of action. Bent on succeeding as a leader, you have to direct and be directed. The issue we overlook seems to stem from who is directing the leader that directs you as a follower. With the director being a supreme being , there is the likelihood for a successful tenure. Otherwise, what motivates the director becomes the issue of concern. For Bright, I was, Well my directions mostly remained unheeded. They included, stop playing football and study; partially heeded. Study science in senior high school; unheeded. Will you like my laptop to study with in case I offer it; rejected. Tried as I seemed to care, there also seemed to be other ‘directors’. Today he seems to have found success by heeding their dir...

BOGC’s Takes: The Way of Life, What my Family didn’t teach me

As far as I can remember, we can lay hold of three families, Our patrilineal family, matrilineal family and in my case my Christian family: specifically my church. These families are to ensure our life reaches a height they consider suitable especially for us. They ensure we are adequately socialized to be able to cope with whatever life throws at us. Their education made me understand that: 1) In any instance alcohol was not good for me. 2) By keeping me hungry, I was supposed to get up and find something doing for myself. 3) By taking something which is not mine, I open the door for the enemy to have a way in my life. 4) You can love someone wholeheartedly and it will still not be reciprocated.  5) By telling lies, there are consequences and it usually lead to more lies. Finally, my heavenly family which I forgot earlier can ‘blow your mind’. Aside: Concerning the topic, it’s s**
