Purify my land

Sure, it's tainted and filled with mediocrity 
But I once knew land that was proud and built to understand 
It withstood those who would mislead it 
Those who resided knew their stand 

But gone are the ones who spoke the truth 
Gone are they who uttered freely 
Replaced by those who mould out the compromises 
 a place once beautiful became a desolate entity 

One day this all may change 
What has become foul will once more be sainted 
The poisoned oaks will receive their antidotes 
And the tarnished soil shall once again be untainted

Renewable energy and the federal ministry of power; Improving access by consumers to hydropower

-

 I will always be a firm believer in the notion that Nigeria's problems can be summarised into just two; Corruption, which is an embedded problem that will require surgery, and lack of electricity (You're welcome to change my mind and drop your take in the comment section). On the latter problem, hydropower will go a long way to solving it but how can we guarantee our access? Let's find out. In the previous post , we looked at how the federal ministry of power has handled the task of power generation and we concluded it's been a piss poor job (You can read that post here). Sometimes, I ask myself if those in charge know what they're doing but it would seem that when you and those around you are equipped with Inverters, soundproof generators, and mini-transformers, the darkness doesn't touch you. Anyway, I digress... Hydropower is a really big deal in the world. It's a steady source of electricity that is ready to keep going as long as there's water on th...

HOW TO GET THINGS DONE

What exactly do you do when you can’t meet up with deadlines? The excuses you come up with to avoid feeling like an inconsistent human. All the side projects you come up with so you don’t have to think about that missed opportunity to actually get something done   I’ll tell you what I do; I forget about it. Sounds crazy but it’s true. I push the problem so far back in my mind that it becomes just a little blip on my mental radar. If I’m feeling especially creative I create problems, blow them out of proportion and then feel safe that I didn’t “fail” but rather became “busy” (What can I say? The human mind will think up anything to avoid blame)   For those like me who adopt a similar coping strategy, you’ve also been hit with this same feeling; Wake up in the morning, think of the work you have to do, scream and laugh a little in your mind and then get back under the covers cause there are movies to be watched. As perfect as this may seem, it’s not going to last and yo...

HOW TO GET THROUGH MONDAY

Many times I find myself asking the same question; why does Monday exist? for whose pleasure?  It's hard to believe that when Emperor Constantine and the Romans decided that Monday, a day named after the moon would begin the week, they imagined it would also come with feelings of dread and drained energy. These issues that Monday bring can be either be external (someone annoys you) or internal (you woke up feeling exhausted). On some occasions, you find any reason you can link to the feeling of distaste and rage that is welling up in you. I'm no psychiatrist but I'll call this " The Monday rage". It's a phase of constant fluctuation between anger and frustration that will no doubt affect those around you negatively. There are a couple of ways to deal with this feeling and get peace of mind; 1. Brace Yourself - Never go into Monday with an oblivious attitude. What you can do is pray, make your plans, and also make contingency plans. This makes sure everything i...
