Bought, Maybe Brought Home, A GOAT And COCK Tale. Episode 2

 At about 6:00pm, sitting at my usual spot, I watched the bird walk towards its assumed sleeping place. The porch behind the kitchen, Unfortunately, today, that was the spot the ‘Oga’ of the house was preparing her meal. It is either the bird waits till the ‘Oga’ of the house finished the meal or it looks for a new place to lay its head. Unfortunately, it did none of these two. Its choice, was to fight for its spot: at where ‘Oga’ is preparing the meal! Your guess is as good as mine. It received a beating . That is not the interesting part wait!

Sometimes life presents us with opportunities on a silver platter, we win with ease, 

nevertheless at other times there is a stumbling block at the same ‘platter’ life gave you. Sometimes instead of fighting the stumbling block, the best choice for us is to wait. Let the cards roll and see the turn of events. Don’t fight a battle you are destined to lose! Your time will come although an ‘Oga’ may be deliberately muddying waters. 

Back to the GOAT, It was tied to a spot where it did not need to struggle for a spot to sleep, it slept when it felt like sleeping and ate when food was made available to it.

The following day, the bird didn’t return at 6:00pm to the spot, it left the spot for the ‘Oga’ who was also not using the spot. Now if the bird got hurt from the beating, a permanent scar would have been created. It slept behind my room until the ‘Oga’ came to pick it back to its usual spot! Guess again, there was still a struggle! Some ‘Ogas’ just want a tussle  with you! BE WISE!

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**
