A Short Analysis of Thomas Hardy’s ‘Hap’
Some Poets really know how to woo their audience.
But for one of my fond writers and his stand of his faith does not stop me from learning from him.
A summary of Hardy’s poem of chance
‘Hap is one of Thomas Hardy’s earliest great poems, composed in the 1860s while he was still a young man in his twenties. Its theme is one that would return again and again in both Hardy’s poetry and in his fiction: the seeming randomness of the world, and the ways in which our fortunes (and our misfortunes) are a result of blind chance rather than some greater plan. Here is ‘Hap’, anyway, and a few words of analysis.
Hap
If but some vengeful god would call to me
From up the sky, and laugh: ‘Thou suffering thing,
Know that thy sorrow is my ecstasy,
That thy love’s loss is my hate’s profiting!’

This Yam, This Goat, This Country: Pwc On NNPC – Part 2
The Completion of the Mess I earlier posted.
Would hope to get a study from those in the field so as to suggest a recommendation to eradicate this mess. Please if you know or are competent in sharing and discussing this, then please make out time to say or post anything about it.
“No one has the right to retain money that should come to the federation account. Constitutionally, it should come and then , if expenses are legitimate, they should be presented transparently and properly approved. To even admit that you have withheld $10bn or $12bn and then say this is what I did with it is, frankly speaking, not even the beginning of an argument” – Sanusi Lamido Sanusi, speaking to Gavin Serkin, author of ‘Frontier‘
Part 1 is here if you missed it.
We now know the measurement of the yam ($69bn) that was left in the care of the NNPC goat. And we also know how much the goat handed back to the Nigerian treasury ($50bn). The debate now is what right the NNPC had to eat so much ($20bn) of the yam belonging to the Nigerian people, if it had the right to…

This Yam, This Goat, This Country: PwC on NNPC – Part 1
Some unfortunate past that has happened in this country one should use to correct for the future, else it becomes the daily today of stuck development.
“Friends and countrymen; I beseech you by the mercies of God that ye do whatsoever it is within thine powers to prevent a frolic between the yam and the goat. For, as surely as the rising and setting of the sun, such an enterprise yieldeth only corruption, nay a sad ending for the yam” – Goodluck The Jonathan, First of His Name
Finally, we get a chance to see what PwC, the auditors, saw when they looked into the black hole that is NNPC. The full report is here (200 pages). It is not pretty.
I am not an oil and gas expert and much of the industry and how it works confuses me. But the PwC report is written in English so let’s try to parse it.

Unchanging Tides
If there’s only a change I can tune to,
Or accept that which makes me glad.
For I am wrecked in speech and strength, All my efforts in sweet waste;
Oh why is such a mood called futile
Where all your days work lulls to mock you.
If only one can know the energy burned,
To eek a living worth earning,
Why is man at the receiving end,
After all his toil is gained in emptiness;
For after so much is put to make him smile,
There comes another pouring sour seeds that cost him every dime.
Or is he at the point of endless wealth,
Where riches and fame comes with a snap of the finger,
Comfort, Happiness shall laugh him to scorn,
For such he shall find like an golden treasure.
His friends and family wallow in the spoils that come
But his heart shall search like one whose God is gone!
But hey I have nothing says another,
But I envy in the pride of happiness
Not being aware he is basked in mediocrity
And sentimentality in its highest climb;
This too the rich detests but can’t help being friends with his pitied nature.
In all of this, life is still unfair,
for one can’t tell the story of a rich,poor or middle-class man.
Their life seems like a parallel line for a start, then later one sees the other at a dividing end;
All shall come to make a shelter of experiences for each other
For life indeed is an Unchanging tide that’s worth a lifetime.

EUCHARISTIC MIRACLE UNDER INVESTIGATION AFTER HOST BLEEDS
Ongoing Investigation on a Host that Bleeds.
Do you believe in the Bread and Chalice turned to the Body and Blood of Christ by a Validly Ordained Priest?
A possible Eucharistic miracle in the diocese of Salt Lake City, Utah is now under investigation.
Last week during Holy Communion at St. Francis Xavier parish in Salt Lake City, a consecrated Host was given to a child who had not yet made his First Communion. The child’s mother informed the priest presiding and returned the Host to him.
The priest, adhering to canon law, then took the consecrated Host and placed it in a container of water to dissolve. Three days later the consecrated Host began to bleed.
As word spread, people quickly began arriving at the parish to adore the Host for a short time. The bleeding Host is now in the possession of diocesan officials who will investigate the possible miracle.
At every Catholic Mass, following the command of Jesus himself, the celebrant raises the host and says, “Take this, all of you…

Bishop Kukah’s Keynote Address at the Conference on, The Muslim Agenda For Nigeria: Challenges of Development and Good Governance
The Naked Truth of Discourse towards the Unification of Religion and Nation.
How I wish I have a simple word to describe it. But the more I search for words the more steep I enjoy the reeling of the message.
I pray this for any Organized Religion.
Here is a draft text of a Keynote Address at the Conference on, The Muslim Agenda For Nigeria: Challenges of Development and Good Governance, organised by the ISLAMIC WELFARE FOUNDATION at the Fountain University, Osogbo, 22-25th, November 2015, By Bishop Matthew Hassan KUKAH, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese
Bishop Matthew KUKAH, Catholic Bishop of Sokoto Diocese
First of all, let me thank the organisers of this Conference, the Islamic Welfare Foundation at the Fountain University for inviting me to this Conference in the historic city of Osogbo to deliver the keynote address. I feel quite honoured by this kind invitation. On the surface, one would ask, what has a Catholic Bishop got to offer in a Conference that seeks to chart a way for an Islamic agenda for Nigeria? When we consider that the notion of an Islamic agenda is a loaded theme in the…

Prayer for Self-Renewal
Dear God,
I thank you for what you’ve done, what you’re doing and what you shall do in my life.
I thank you more for the opportunities I’ve made and used, Mistakes that were self-inflicted and non purposeful; and Good choices I’ve lost and misused. I pray that as I present myself for forgiveness and supplication, I shall once more appeal your presence in my life.
I wish to ask for Renewal in thoughts, speech and disposition for there are numerous times I bring myself to commit them so wrongful a habit that it’s become a kind of lifestyle. Most times I’m unaware of what comes out of me owing to the mood, situation and challenges it provoked me to react.
Please change and constantly remind me I’m the temple of your spirit and as I bless, I heal and whenever I curse, I destroy.
Help me Lord to be anew in thoughts for this is a most feared intent of my being. That as I heal with my tongue, my thoughts shall pray to reciprocate it. Most times, I could use either in different tones- To bless with a unpleasant thoughts and to curse with a healing thoughts. As I learn from you, dear savior, may I ever more be disciplined with self-control and Gifts of the Holy Spirit.
Renew me Lord in my actions and correct any misguided motives and works of my hands. Grant me the grace to do all for you without self gratification, knowing that it’s to your will I earnest seek; your covenant I behold ever in my life. Make me aware that I’m my brother’s and sister’s keeper irrespective of who, what and how they are.
I seek these O Lord to be Holy in your sight though I’m but a frail and Sinful Child.
Blessed be your name as thee are forever Adored.
Amen.

Switched Upgrade
All you wish to do in the future are now long past.
The today’s task left undone.
Moods aren’t steady, can’t tell which you’re right now.
Still ahead you forge on like one without bearing; unfocused.
But the returns you get are relieving and most successful than if you laid hands to make it work.
What a strange formation irrespective of the sound training and background,
For friends battle to aim your worth as you’re aimlessly wandering about.
To remain as you’re isn’t enough and the future is still bleak.
Despite the Struggle to make yourself work, the heightened damage of results’ wrought.
Slowly but gradually you urge on, with a motivation backed by a ghostly face.
You strive to improve your worth, only to be shocked with the downfall number of Friends and Mentors.
A lonely world you remain, afraid if you’ll be imprisoned or bound free.
All the source of your strength is wasting away in lost discovery of empty victory:
Prayer, Research, Food and the rest-
Gone to the search of self-rediscovery.
Yet again a blow of irrecoverable shock sizzles you,
As friends silently steals your success away.
They come as though they seek for help
And leave you twice as worse as you were.
Innocently you believe they came to visit,
Erroneously is the defeat you face in a sudden speed of time.
Regrouping seems hard for such retreat,
A monks’ life is the journey you sojourn
Hoping to gather strength to build your success;
Behold God is away seems to be the dawned foresight.

Forever Grateful
There are great friends I’ve been with and you have been one of them.
Most times it is I who fail to see their deeds truly covering up my most odd acts.
Still do I give thanks to the Maker who created them for sending them in times I need them most.
There are four sets of people whom I remain indebted to:
Family.
They’ve always got your back even if your back is on the ground. After the strokes and screams, comes the hugs and lessons to avoid such. They’ll be here till their last breath and would take you where you both insist and rather not go. Whichever plan you’ve grow it from here, and life will be fair to spare you its empty threats.
Friends.
The second charm that take things off, especially if it’s either good or bad a choice.
What makes them scamper from you is what draws them nearer to you, acting like they never cared just to see how much dare you’ve got to build guts.
They mould too but so quietly that they’re never there, only to see how much you care to inflame or appease their attention.
But to you O friends, Words are so little to tell, or quantify how great your inputs craves to result in.
Church.
From the onset to death they shall be there,
You dare not force them to accept your thoughts.
All the while they make you choose the best actions to grow or the other choice they teach you so firmly to reject.
Across different topics and things to share is their picture of God on earth.
Yet they can stand alone to teach as they preach to me and those I can’t reach.
Too deep is their imagination and their want of repentance as they replicate God’s work on earth.
You.
To you uncategorized or are not within the scope I thank
Especially you, Strangers who shall be friends of mine or someone yet undisclosed;
To you who feel so ostracized and can’t be put or associate with anything;
You, yes you and you whom are reading this I compose.
I learned and was moved by one who couldn’t let go his appreciation and now I’m filled with that which made him do what I’m doing.
So I wish you do the same- it’s my initial intention of which I take no credit if it worked.
Who has inspired you to be at the apex your best.
Or who has begun to fill the void of oddness?
It’s high time you stopped and stare and help to heal the world filled with inexplicably strange fears.
Books.
They may look tiring some and burdensome, but simply put- Are words best coined by experiences and encounters. I’ve my share to learn from them as is my window to the World- a pleasant way to travel.
Whichever genres you take, an entirety of other category is neatly weaved in it. All you need is an open mind and a ready heart.
The books I’ve read can vouch for me, if it’s a human being can protect me.
It makes me see different moods, places, people and culture- As I pray I’m not repeating myself.
However, such is now spread across globally as there are books I’ve not seen or got my hands on.
O life spare me that I may have read as much as I ought as I’ve done for others to wrought.

You Know Best
To those who feel God must answer their every prayer that the heart and body yearns for, this a cautious warning to heed
Woman.
Such is her strength- does it really expire?
She will defend anything and everything to make life ever better.
If only it can be repaid whenever she’s frail, for Her maker has made her fragile to accommodate all that would make her agile.
No woman was born different- even the worse ones wishes for the best. Yet life has made unfair the times she tries to build her so well but got results and reactions far less than she expected.
Perhaps it is why she ended up this way: to treat what comes her way with so much disdain. Worse still, she’s bent beyond her will as what she fights for is shredded before her reach.
Or is this why some women are so cruel- born with a man’s heart to treat her subjects like dehumanized objects. When there are some born like angels, more have become a threat to the devil. Still one can’t fathom the depth of a woman, for she’s a mystery the world has sought endless discoveries.

Clash of Conflicted Thoughts
A good thought trails your mind
And all things to make it work you bind
Not knowing the power to execute threatens,
With scenarios of a thousand result to learn from
Yet it’s begun, throwing caution to the Wind a Project arrives,
But in quick speed is it’s life’s death!
What went wrong or who cut it short?
How, Why, Where did it go wrong?
But the plan is solid, how come the soil is liquid?
A project so unique but blessed with blistered Sequence.
It’s the Fault of my ancestors, no my enemies!
Somehow a blame must trail or linked to someone.
For this I’ve done repeatedly and constantly
A discovery secretly mine now a World’s share of Magic.
Now it’s harder still to start afresh.
The damage is done with me within.
Somehow a repair button’s Hand.
A conflict of thoughts is my share to pout in.

Untitled Hero
He wakes up anytime and prepares schedules which will happen at random.
Up he goes wandering round the Earth like a man insane but not mad. Not yet.
Success is his worth today but unsure for tomorrow.
Still he presses on with a zeal that hope will etch a faith yet to be sung.
She is one without parents bent to the wishes of people that come by.
Day by day she prays for a change- with patience of one who endlessly awaits a new twist.
It’s not her intention to be fiddled like a toy just to satisfy the wants of men.
Yet unknown comes the day turned to years gone by, that she would be freed from this sad state.
They were friends before now enemies with aggravated passion.
They came together from school to start a business so new.
Things turned out so well they felt their heaven is here.
Never did they know that a move beyond their nose would split them so quick.
For their offices was raised down by a snitch from a top government official;
Whom had followed them individually to study their untold secrets of success.
Heroes come and go, above or under the radar of knowledge. Yet one can’t tell it’s strength of fame when it is perceived by people who need their help. For it could be they’re present to wield some kind of support for your own.
Or may have died away to increase the fears or make you even depressed and procrastinate your time and energy to pull through.
Whichever you wish to be learn more, Read and search further, for an untold hero is in you or whom you shall influence.
The more you discover and groomed them, the more popularly unpopular will you earn but untitled.

The Craziness of Age
You go out of your way to please a lady, no matter your status.
A little add and subtract is what got you tangled. Yet when the search is out and the patience wears thin, the real outcome present itself only for it to be entangled with confusion and lots of explaining just to be in a relationship. From the first instance, it began with a bet only for it to be transformed to the faith of wooing and then the funniest or stupid of all excuses, AGE!
Atheism 101: What is Atheism?
Christians and Others is how I wish to classify the term: Theist and Atheists. Nevertheless, it’s for your perception to what you hold as Theists and what you see as Atheist. The article specifies a safe guideline on how to know both sides and develop on what to increase or decrease.
To me, I understand this perfectly to mean: is about the individual of which it’s so cumbersome to express and distinctly emphasize. I’m a Christian no doubt(and a staunch Catholic) but this article has helped me navigate how to break either folds(Christians vs Others) into an understandably simpler term as it further split itself to befit the person.
This is a simple question with a simple answer, but there is a lot of misinformation surrounding atheism. As such, I think it is important to go into quite a bit of detail about what an atheist actually is. This post will be in three parts: the first part will discuss what atheism is, the second part will discuss the idea of different types of atheism, and the third part will discuss how someone can be an atheist.
Let’s begin with what atheism is. To put it simply, atheism is the belief that gods don’t exist. As I stated before, this is a simple answer, but it is surrounded by misinformation and disagreement.
The definition of an atheist is “a person who believes gods do not exist.” This definition can be found in dictionaries and online (although some definitions are Christian-centric). Both definitions make it clear that atheism is characterized…

Wishes
Woke up with lots of high spirit motivation.
Sensing I shall achieve more than the day I’ve ever worked.
With priorities set to take me yonder
And my dreams to which I ponder
All is set for my future to wonder.
Not knowing I’m made a pun
Of the things I’ve done that never bore results,
Hoping that I become fond of new outcomes
The goals achieved with little fuss
Laud I become across no toil,
The mess of my past revealed in a dream.
Of such strength I’ve wasted,
As I shyly grope in my wounds
Such beauty to see shattering so quick
A bell bang in as I alight from my bed.
Search for Self
With lots of pondering thought
Never letting a moment lost
Still in presence aloft,
Came voices that tenders sloth ;
Who knows what shall behold thee
When there’s no need to live
For it seems life has bought you forth
Without a gain to live again.
Words, Promises, Priorities wrought
Has not steered the clear way sought
Indeed the friends and all
Further complicates that which was got
A wind spurned with ease you’re
As you wrestle with the thoughts of being invalid.
So without vain you fought, carving a niche to grow forth.
Alas a road is there to map
Taking a pinch of steps with all your might
You journey through your various thoughts to clothe thyself a unique spot.
All this while you search for thyself
Like a visitor who escaped for a holiday
A wondrous onerous plot, a break it stole to get refreshed;
Yet you can’t tell why you died
A quiet death to rise this bright.
