I hope that this poem I wrote in August of 2022 doesn't become a prophecy:

RUINS OF YOUR REPUTATION

The legacy of your legend is this relic and ruins
This heap of debris
This retrogretion into primitive days
This victimized populace
This thread of threats
And the fear that rises every morning to shine.

Your reputation is a spell cast
The massive fall of nightdom on the nation
And every morning, as the vultures come to feast
The sound of sadness is raised in streets and huts
For us, bread for vipers
The legacy of your whoredom with wickedness.

The eight years of your halotry
Is the civilization of corruption
We will remember the banditry, terrorism and kidnappings
The ambush of madness
We will remember the Naira fall
This economic harmattan
And the rise of the rebels of patriotism and national unity.

The ruins of your reputation is that we were never led
Progress is proof of leadership
And every move made razed roof, dreams and life
These mass of hopefuls grew into grumblers
The parade of pride became shameful mourners
Your legacy is a coldroom of zombies.
Raise your brow and behold the ruins of your reputation.

Dear Pilgrim,
I just thought I should remind you that we won't be here forever.

This is deep. This is fire. Jesus wore the thorns. And that settles it.

I love this bulletin board message!

I refuse to resist repentance. I curdle correction and make her my mistress.

What kind of a man are you?

That's a question most people have to answer for themselves. They must come a time in an individual's life when he starts asking himself or herself: what kind of person am I? This is very important.

A man is his character. Your character should not be a haphazard arrangement of thoughts and impulses but a proper ordering of information. It should be a deliberate thing. Not something you just stumbled upon or a copying of people's behavior.

If your character is not what you planned and thought of but what you copied hook, line and sinker or what came out of your several impulses, then, you won't amount to much.

In the Bible, a story was told of two brothers: Cain and Abel. Once they both offered to God of their produce. Cain's offering wasn't accepted. The reason why Cain's offering wasn't accepted was because of his person. God told him, "if you do well, you will be accepted, but if you don't do well, nothing will stop you from sinning". Genesis 4:7 paraphrased.

You see, it wasn't just his offering that was not accepted but also his person. He was a person of low-character quality. The quality of his character was poor. What made his offering to be rejected was also what made made him to destroy his brother - his character.

I want to think that Cain was never thoughtful. He was an impulsive person. He gave by impulse. He never considered the offering or who he was giving it to. That's very important. He never considered anything before doing it, that was a big character flaw.

What kind of a man are you? They are some people who are uncouth in their speech. They have refused to be refined. When there's an issue, you hear them saying things like, "I say things the way they are" or "that's who I am, that's my kind of person". They are very rude. They don't mind people's feelings. Such people have low-character quality. If you hang around them for long, they will put you in trouble.

Finally, if you are that man or woman who has a pattern of un-arranged information, it's time to start recalibrating your mind. It's time you start re-shaping your understanding. It's time you start making yourself fit for purpose. You see, Cain was not a fit for purpose person, that's why he became a subject of sin and error. If you must make your earth life worthwhile, then, you have a decision to make. To be the kind of person who will be accepted, not just by men but by GOD also.

God bless you. I am Richard Abutu.
