Dreams n Stories!

Everyone has a story to tell

If truth be told, the story ain’t nice

We all dream of a world of make believe

Where prince charming lives and beauty sings

Where the dwarfs help and witches give apples

Why is it that the sins of the fore fathers never affected the stories?

Why is it that pegasus had wings to fly?

Why the greek gods where so fine

And the roman’s so heartless

With reality, the stories play a different tune

Facing the arrows piecing deep

The wicked gets riches and the good well...

The story of life transcends gods and witches

Yes, we want to dream and not wake up

Yet we fear death for dreams are temporary death(touching a cord?)

My story is that of good and evil

Of wars and victories

Let me start like the books and end like them

Once upon a time there was a girl named...

Hmm! Well, it ended happily heavenly after.

Dream with me and live the reality of our story.

Yes, welcome again to my madness!

Knowledge that craves!

I love life like I love oxygen yet I smell death with a passion built out of curiosity.  Is there a sense of knowledge in the land of the dead? Do one know he is dead when he is? I fear not the unknown cos I bliv the unknown is nothing to be scared of!

I believe that as far as life can be conquered then death as well can be ruled. I enjoy life like a sweet piece of cake, will death taste as good as that? I bliv in another life and that one transcends from a life to another and the short transition is death but you awake to grow in another womb, another continent, another TIME!

A 360 degree I call life, always going round never ending. Pray forgive my stupidity if you call it that but its my mind I spit out wit the venom of knowledge that transfer wisdom to the mind.

To breathe is to walk the earth knowing you can communicate with the other. To sit and think is to commune with the inner being knowing there are forces higher and stronger. Wisdom comes from knowing that nothing is imposible and leave space for happenings and openings.

Bless me Father for I blaspheme not, just curious of the world you brought me into.  

Story of my life(Reflections)

In the years have come to see, I’ve realized that I can count on my male friends more than the females. That they understand me better and I them; that the females are finicky especially when it comes to male matters and act like real fish heads. They can sell out their fellow female friend just to get the man they so want (how pathetic).

I resolve to sit back and watch, evaluate and weigh the friendship with both parties and I foundout;

1.       I have more male friends than female

2.       For every male clic that I have that contains nothing less than 10guys, I have just 1 female friend

3.       That the female friends I have and can count on are either male oriented like me or younger and look up to me like a snr sister

4.       That my male friends are more than friends to me, they are family and business partners

5.       That the female friends are friends and confidants

6.       That when the females get married, the friendship suffers but when the males get married, I have an additional female friend

7.       That my male friends really adore me and believe in me (now this is where they both have the same feelings towards me) plus the females

8.       That my males friends are ready to fight by my side without understanding the problem but my female friends are ready to talk me out of the fight (laughing in pidgin)

9.       That as the years pass by, I add more great male friends into my life and I continually deviate from female friends

10.   That I can trust all my male friends to death and can only trust zara, Joy, lyn, nky, orode and folake and my cousin natasha to death.

This said, I now understand why my sisters see me as a last result for strict advice with high confidence and secrecy, not the babe they want to take shopping and talk lovey dovey stories with, they see me as a business oriented babe, a strong hearted none sending, no male loving babe. I understand why my friends see my as “their guy” and understand better that last year, I was wasting my time trying to make more female friends.

So after all this analyses, I have decided that this is my part; from a small innocent girl who always (without knowing) did stuff a male would do to a matured woman who many say thinks and writes like a man; that I don’t want to be a man but I was blessed to just have the sexiness of a lady but the brains of a man and that I should enjoy this blessing that my LORD as bestowed upon me, and not beat myself when guys say ‘why do u act like a man, do u think u are a man’. This blessing has made me a multitalented lady who can multitask and think on her feet. A great marketer and ideas machine-a creative animal with the intelligence of a greek god and the brutality of a greek goddess.

To all the great male friends in my life – Anwar Hassan, Ebisan(the love of my life), Oke, Sly(Barzini), Nejeep(my sweet brother), Marcel(shinomori), Niyi(Neyobraski), Obinna(Rambo), Emeka(Ice), Emeka and Chuks Ihejirika, Laolu, Chuma, Aimuan, Kunle, Hali, Choko, Tomiwa, Roy, Phil, Josey, Matthew(Ghost), Godwin, Austin(Felon X), Ifeanyi(Bravo), Dan(Smiley), Nubi, Mr Anis, Dc Batth, Tmak; I love you guys always.

To the new additions- Davis, Henry(madman), Timothy Adaka, Jeremiah, Dapo, Bateeatus(Tosyn), Awah, Tunji, Gabriel, Ranti, Ade, Tiny(Tayo), Ike Ani, Asoto; let’s see how it goes.

To My Sisters( the Ukey babes)- the best sisters and cousins any lady would ask for. Zara, Unuye, Marilyn (Lyn) and Nkechi (Nky) thanks for being the best ladies in my life, for counting always and never failing me. Orode, Folake and my sweet cousin-Natasha, you guys are the best. Our wife, Jenifa Anagbado-I love u always.

To the people who believed so much in me and pushed me up the ladder of advertising without even knowing me- Obinna Okeke, Alphy, Kunle Shittu, Rita(SOnU), Faith, Sola Kosoko, Tmak, Tiny, Femi(TBWA), Ranti, Tope Gbenro, Mrs Shorte, Debo, Debola Mobee, Julius, Biodun, Obinnali, Tito, Funmi, Chiso, Seun, BJ and all the others I met on my walk to fame may God continually bless you guys.

To my darlyn Savior – God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit; may I continually use my talent to Your glory.

Pray for me oh holy Mother of God, that I may be made worthy of thy Son’s kingdom.

All the Angels and Saints – Pray for me.

May the soul of my sweet brother Kennedy Ukey through the mercy of God, continually rest in perfect peace.

9ja For Life!

As the New Year emerges, people look up with faith and renewed enthusiasm one that lightens up the heart and give hope to the spirit. New Year always spells new beginnings; being able to try again, make it work, build the stance, create afresh, and work at it.

My fear is that this passion is so personal that we fail to include our nation into the new stance. Nigeria is an old baby that refuses to grow. We have left her to the hands of our political leaders forgetting she belongs to us all and not a few in the so called power; we hold the power cause we are Nigeria. We dream of a Nigeria with constant power supply, good education, up to date facilities to run our health section with dedicated and well learned medical practitioners, Rulers who think more of us than of their pocket, a system that works and not just talks, a life that inspires and not despair, roads that leads and not destroys, buildings that reach and not collapse, food that feeds and not kill, drugs that give wellness and not send us to the graves too early, an HIV/AIDS free nation, a cancer ridden country and poverty-dead society.

This is our heart desires that we have put to sleep for so long cause we fail to realize the power we have to CHANGE it. Everyone knows the adage that ‘the words of the mouth are powerful’ yet we go to sleep with that voice buried within. Asking silly questions that start with WHY instead of WHYNOT! It’s said that ‘little droplets makes a mighty ocean’ not a failed tap. It’s said ‘pikin wey say him mama no go sleep no go sleep too’. It’s time to release those vocals.

Sing, shout, speak, talk, discuss, cry, laugh but just say something that WILL bring about the change we so dream of. The change we so speak of, the change we so long for. For us, our children and our children’s children till the world ends (and it ain’t going nowhere in May 21^{st, 2011} lol).

Believe! our voice can make that change and our vote can deliver our quest. Cause when we don’t speak or vote, it gives those few the power to manipulate and steal from us.

Let your voice be heard this 2011, let’s stop all the cheating, all the crime, all the bombing and all our fake tears for we own the POWER TO CHANGE things in 9ja! So when the person by your side tells you ‘why’, tell him/her ‘whynot’! It’s time to make that change count, speak-out and the rest will follow.

By the way, Happy New Year 9(winks)

ALTER EGO!

Like a cactus

I sting at 1^st contact

Protecting the inner me

The sweet soul

The true me

Like a spear,

Am sharp and dangerous

I fly deep into the heart

Piece hard,

Leaving a big opening

My hurt is sweet

Hence your wanting more

Never letting go

Like poison ivy

My kisses are delicious

Venomous and deadly

Yes! Am a saint

A demon with a mission

Don’t fake the need

You’ll always want me

Even when am so far gone!

Am a limited edition

A few good left

My smile hunts

My innocence kills

But I give my best

And my best is happiness

Hence even when I bite

You’ll still love to love me!

AFTERLIFE

Life in its infinite ways gives you a kick, shove, slap or even a run for your money. It wakens you to the trueness of your calling. Though, we really can’t pin-point our reason for being on earth, yet we run this race with a determination to make it worthwhile.  It’s funny when you sit to think about the pleasures, the pain and the wants and realizing when death comes, you’ll take it nowhere.

Now death, another phase to face; what happens in the afterlife? Why can’t we take what we have acquired here on earth with us to the afterlife? Why would our body decay? And if it’s true our soul will remain alive, why can’t we connect with others soul while on earth? Why is it we know nothing of what happens when we sleep? Is sleep not a temporary death? why can't we know how it feels to leave our body before death?

So many questions and no answers! It reminds me of the first… where, what and why can’t I remember stuffs that happened when I was in the womb of my mum? Why can’t I remember all the naughty, nasty and funny things I did as a baby? I have the feeling I reincarnated but if I did, why I can’t I have a glimpse of what happened before?

Now, with all this questions of no answers, why should I believe that when I DIE, there is a life after?

Enigma!

In this strange ship called life, many shores have been abducted and cities invaded. Loots spoiled and humans raped; off sensuality and sensibility. In it, I sail like a lone ranger, with my one eye patch searching for the right turn. While at it, I conquer and rape. Gaining more strength and skills to take me to the end of the ocean, an end I can only envisage would speak of my tribulation and successes.  No! My one eye isn’t a default, it was acquired in war; the war of confidence. It was plucked out by sincerity and trust. I believed in them so much and ran into a trap they set for me. Yes! I wear the patch as a reminder that I’m a lone ranger.

Like a pirate, my love for red and black makes a good camouflage against the earth. Blue gives me warmth that the sun refuses to give. Now,  I stand tall with my sword always ready for battle and the funny thing? No one dares to fight me. Yes! They try to come close, but I give them the sneer that says ‘am a lion and a koala’ lovable and dangerous. I’m the tides on the ocean, wicked and deadly and then like the sea, calm and inviting. The mystery a good one, for it keeps you at arm’s length, aware of my dagger and my softness – aware of my poison and my gift. You can’t help to love me and hate me all at the same time.

I’m the Enigma, the search for the mystic, the unknown but known, the difference with no certainty, the bridge with no stairway. I am the hide and the exposure, the sun and the moon. Killing and making. As gentle as a rabbit and as fierce as a tiger; Yes! I am fun and danger. Flow with care and reach the banks of knowledge, love with sincerity and fight with no fear. Then you’ll understand the mystery behind me!

Enigma… the beginning of where it ends!

Red District

Life seems good when you a step ahead of someone

But you hate the step in front of you

When the truth is spoken we hide under a lie

Cause lies we can’t bear but the truth pierce deep

Sharp like a roman sword, digging deep into the heart

A woman is priceless only if she honors her ‘hood’

Many shall seek the juice pot with sincere lust

But when taken, they seek yet another

If well preserved, they see the best in you

But there comes a few many men

Who think with only their pendulum!

These men would act to understand when still in tune

But when out of it, you know the trueness of their feelings

Men who want nothing but a taste never gives the best

Friendship don’t end in the bed with real men

They know you for your good and your bad

Not just the pleasures you give

But ma bad, most men are like the negative I preach

So maybe in this country… they are the real men!

God help all women from the lies and cheats called MEN!

Cause even them now feel it’s part of manhood.

Story of my Life!

When you have a near death experience, u tend to appreciate life more and understand the reason to do good and be happy always.

As a lady, there are 2tins I fear the most rape and drowning. Rape cos I feel I would not be able to leave with myself hence might fight them till they kill me and drowning cos I don’t want to die a painful death; one I can’t try to fight and win…a lost course.

Two days ago, I was robbed, the thieves actually drove off with me and the only thing I could think of is..is this the end? What can I do to salvage this. Luckily for me the car had a flat tire not far from where I was apprehended and I was abandoned with the car. I keep thinking to myself ‘what if’ an if I really don’t want to find out about.

It’s true the stories going on, if u get hit by a car at night, speed off don’t stop. It’s the new tactics with robbers.

Till my poems and short stories surface again, do keep in touch on the group ENIGMA on facebook. Cheers.

Christmas Blues!

Christmas is synonymous to rebirth, renewal and joy.

We forget the past and try make a new,

Great tidings and goodwill shared.

Hopes renewed from lost dreams

And friends forgotten as enemies

While enemies stale newbies

A blink of fresh air

Received with hope for brighter things

Sacrificed on promises old

Lifting ones so new

Yes! I welcome the blues

With red, white and green

Spirits and wines

Grace my tables and dines

With hope for a prosperous year

One I know I alone can bear.

The joy i feel

Lost pride gained in a second

In a term of pain and agony

15years of strive

Yet fulfilled like I planned it so well

Niceties of a scourged heart

Steamy, flowing down

Awaken to the very love

That rejected the vacuum

Speak louder than an empty drum

For in it, a voice is heard

And the sound enriches the soul

A cry now a smile

That consumes the heart in space

A 1000 starts of eternity

A name planted for ever

Springing wealth and happiness

Dance with me eternal happiness

For what gladness is born!

Lies!

The heart lies when u let it

 The eyes see what u want it

The brain decipher what u want it to

The truth though stares us in the face

Sucking deep into us

Draining our blood

Cutting the oxygen

Choking us to death

At every instance

We feel the throb

The want to be true

But the lies smiles,

Giving us a temporary breath

Of sweetness we can imagine

Yet! We know it would end

Cos the truth like the sun

Would come out to play

Burning our very skin

Sinking us deep into the abyss

The truth hurts yes!

But it’s safer than 3minutes of a lie.

Live for something!

Life sometimes plans ahead the things we have in mind but haven’t had the heart to achieve. The “Secrets” put in place the value of the inner being in us. The strength, the faith, the believe: haven’t you noticed that when u strongly believe u would get something, u almost always get it?

The mind is a strong part of who we are, the inner us. To know this, to control it would bring wealth and happiness. Negative thoughts aren’t good for health or wealth. Knowing ur strength within is as important as knowing ur name; ur life counts on every aspect of u.

Knowing what u are capable of paves a part for u to realize what u can and cannot do hence, you have to carve out what u want to achieve. This would determine how u would live ur life, the path u’ll take and the things u would achieve.

If ur heart and mind works in a direction u choose but ur visual action takes a route someone else tells u to, it always works out wrong for u - this someone else might be culture, parents, society, friends even lovers. They think they know what’s best for u and lead u or urge u in a path ur heart and mind is against. Until u face the truth within, happiness would forever elude u but yes, u’ll please them and they’ll die happy and u…would live in misery.

Total happiness comes from telling urself what u want and living it. Sit and think for a while without disturbance and ask urself WHAT MAKES U HAPPY? 3days in a week is enough for self realization. Calculating ur path, for nothing is worth ur happiness cos in the end, it’s all u’ll live for.

Have u ever thought of judgment day? If it’s real, how would u feel when u are cast to hell for so many things u did just to please others? Believe me, it’s worth eternal damnation when u do it for u: live for yourself.

Believe in urself, work on ur happiness and do all that will make u happy for in the end, nothing matters. We live with little knowledge of why we are really on earth. Yes, religion has given us so many reasons, but deep down, they really can’t answer the question - why are we on earth? So for all it’s worth, do what u want but while u at it, be in harmony with the people around u for mother nature respects every individual and expects u to do the same as we need each other in this faceless journey.

Respect others feelings and their belief. We each have our will hence our belief are different. In   religion, good and evil have been defined in the exact terms. It tells one thing, there really is GOOD and EVIL. Don’t force anyone to live ur belief and don’t force urself to live any other persons belief. Just try to accept theirs, make them understand urs and if u both can’t live with ur difference… u can always find new friends and family who believe in what u believe in – DON’T FORCE IT.

Good – You are in harmony with others in ur pursuit of happiness

Evil – You are not in harmony with others in ur pursuit of happiness

Live ur life!

It’s easy to just pass through the day like nothing matters but the reality would creep up on you again tomorrow and then, I want to see u dodge that.

Life gives us dirts but the good thing is God gave us a sieve to filter out what we don’t want. Yes! Our will is paramount to our existence and happiness that’s why I don’t believe in what others call good and evil. I have my will and I would use it judiciously and one way ama do that, is by creating my OWN good and evil.

My views are:

• ·         Do unto others what you want them to do unto you.
• ·         Have fun so far it don’t hurt no one in the process.
• ·         Do want you want and not what others want you to do
• ·         Bend very low to kiss ass so that when you make it, you’ll remember the back ache and make sure you don’t have to bend that low again
• ·         Be humble when dealing with a powerful enemy; learn his tricks and strike when he least expects.
• ·         If he is still more powerful, never let him know the strike was from you, just enjoy it in ur privacy
• ·         Not all revenge should be left for GOD. There are some u just gats to pay on ur own.
• ·         Revenge is sweet when served very cold so be very prepared to deal with the consequence
• ·         Make sure your revenge is 100% worth it so that u won’t feel the consequence when it comes cos it surely will.
• ·         Think well before carrying out a revenge; don’t do what u’ll regret
• ·         Be kind to everyone even when they are not kind to you cos one day, they’ll need u and then their guilt would hunt them.(sweet punishment)
• ·         If others u call dear don’t do you good, find new peeps cos they don’t care abt u
• ·         If u have a view peeps tink not good, trust me it’s a good view n they are jealous u thot of it first
• ·         Don’t do what everyone else is doing except it makes u happy too
• ·         Believe me, you’ll die alone cos u were born alone so do WHAT U WANT!
• ·         Live like you might die tomorrow cos in truth, u might die tomorrow
• ·         Don’t wait till u get old to wish you did what u shld have as a youth
• ·         Believe me, age is just a number, fun, education and happiness don’t care abt how old u are
• ·         Its never to late to start again so just start all over if u wanna
• ·         BE YOU! So dat if judgment is real, u would be able to defend urself properly
• Love always don't live on past hurt cos happiness is fullest when u inlove.

With all that said, follow the 2major commandments from our Christ; love others as you love yourself and love GOD above everything else.

*PS: live like you wanna!

Nightmares

I slept days with nightmares

Gracing my pillows

Kissing my lips

I wonder if I hurt the world

With stings so painful

If a time I came

To quench waters so tasteful

If rebels await

My horse of horrors

If I were a king

The land hated with fear filled eyes

This time I awake

With no sweat on my head

With no chest to cry on

A smile on my face

For I know the next to take

Paths I always thread

With a will stronger than any

A curse none wish for

But one I see as a blessing

May be I was bold

As the wolves n their pack

May be I was dreaded

Like the lions in their steed

One thing I know

Then I was at peace

With the inner me

And none could please or hurt

Then I had a heart

Filled in a cooler with ice

Then I knew

That a pace I had kept

One non could catch up with

Its short I know

But I woke up just too soon

And long I would be awake

To sleep no more

In the Heat!

Slowly, I inhale the hardness
The stillness scares
The firmness captivates
If only, I thought!
The actions where defined
If only, I said out loud
I could turn and resist
Mine could be easy
A part carved in silver
None could receive
This gift and not shiver
Sailing through the wetness
In an undisclosed calmness
No its not tears,
My eyes where shaped to rain
Get your dirty minds of the closet

Cause for real am crying not fucking!

The Madness!

It all started like a dream. Moments flash before my eyes like fast race car speeding. Nothing could be so blissful, nothing could be so real. But the thought of it all brought sweetness to my lips. The hurt forgotten, the pain a past; now the time is here and here forever. I basked in total awesomeness from the goodness that showers my heart, yet like a dream, I refuse to wake for fear of realizing the truth.

Am not stupid no, just cautious and enjoying the game, the fun, the life. Don’t mistake my freeness for dumbness it’s me, I live like I wanna, always. Strolling down, I realize the thought I taught myself; enjoy all u can always. A lesson I learnt while trying to please.

If I step and fall, I alone feel the pain and where it hurts the most; Never the less, am not selfish with my joy and share it for others to experience. Blinking back memories, I search deep into the future, realizing the stake, the nail and the hammer. Have driven the nail too deep that it can’t be taken out anymore.

A ramble you might say, but I laugh for knowledge of my madness. Yes! My madness, that confuses but enlightens. A madness rare and incurable and when it affects others they hate and love. A madness I tamed to suit the abyss of the emotions I render. One you want but hate cause you can’t have. One everyone wishes for but none but me can hold.

Don’t get lost, find your way if you can in my maze. Am a rare edition, a parable on the lips of the wise. An enemy you love and a friend you cherish. Maybe a return of a void, maybe a relapse of a threat all I know, its existence isn’t new to the eras.

Have I succeeded in sinking you? Yeh! Am the best in such madness.

*teethy grin.

Calling all creative minds!

I remember a friend telling me he is a writer and I asked really, how many of your works have you published and he is like I have over a hundred online; a website where writers especially poets are urged to send their works to win prices and even get published. I felt it was a good way to get my works out there since it’s difficult to get the finances or the audience you need to read your work. Not for money but for appreciation hence, my contributing to that site and boasting of three of my works online with two published in 2different poetry books I never got to see but a friend did and I enjoyed the recognition.

Now, if we had such a chance in our country to showcase our works by just doing what we love to do, not spending a dime, won’t you seize the opportunity?

Join me on Enigma let’s make this change. Calling on all creative minds!

Put ur heart in it!

I always wonder what it takes for one to find out what their calling is. And when I say calling, I don’t mean to the altar. I mean what you are good at that u can use to make a change in the world and also make you happy and satisfied.

It’s easy to just go along like everyone else in a job where u don’t find self satisfaction just the money worth but after about 2years you depreciate and feel sad cos what you are doing isn’t giving u the pleasure u deserve and then ur life becomes miserable and u start looking for a way out.

On the other hand, if you are working on what gives you pleasure, no matter the stress, the pain or set back that comes with it, you’ll always feel happy and satisfied.

I love to write as much as I love to counsel. I love to dance as much as I love to create – create either dance forms, stage drama, poetry or even a party event.

What do u like to do? What is your passion? Can we find it together and achieve what u so long for? Join me and let’s work a way round it.

If u could, would you run with it?

Yes! we have different talents in us that we'd love to showcase to the world yet, the economical situation in Nigeria forbids us this simple necessity to excel in a field we would love to explore.
The difficulty of finding the funds or the source needed to improve on the dream; Greed and sentiments steals our shine and we die with the talent we are given to share. Abroad, we see, read or view how avenues are created for the youths to make use of their talents. We hold in our heart that which would make us happy but we can't unleash it for fear of the known - funds, environment, criticism ETC.
The Enigma is born to help us try to achieve, if only for once, that dream we so long to share and birth into the world.
Join us and let's make this a reality as we have fun, painting a new song in the sky.

The wake-up call!

A soft scream escape my lips as I stare dreamily into space.
I turn to look into the eyes of my victim as I noticed the ring on my finger. Getting up was a bit of stress but I knew I had to get my head cleared from all this insanity.

‘Come to bed’

He called,

‘You still need to punish me’.

I smile and turn away. Walking towards the bathroom, kicking the door open.

Staring into the mirror brought shame to my face. Why did love have to hurt so? Why did it have to be so rigid and selfish? The cold splash of water brought me back to life, to the sound of a can open.

‘For you dearie, am sure you are exhausted’.

He poured the cold drink into my mouth as I let some slip down my bare chest, flowing like a river finding a path, giving my swollen nipples a tingle.

‘Let’s do it again’ I purred ‘I feel energized’.

He led me back to the bed with his arms on my butt squeezing hard; fingers dig into my skin, getting me all wet.

‘Cuff me’ I cried, ‘I need to be punished, CUFF ME!’

I feel the hard whip tear into my skin as I scream out in mixed pleasure. Flashes of him keep ruining my senses. I scream again in terror as I see him weep at my feet, pouring out his heart, offering me his soul.

‘I don’t deserve him’ I scream, crying uncontrollable. ‘PUNISH ME!’

I cried out again as I felt it hard entering into my rear. His face crawled round to my nipples, biting hard, as HE rammed harder. My scream fills the air.


Releasing his guts, he spoke breathless into my ears

‘You lovely deary, no other like you’.

Falling on me after his last jerk making me fall on him as his teeth sunk into my chest. Their snores break the silence as I hear a whisper, crying, saying

‘why me, why me?’

I replied,

‘I’m sorry baby, I just don’t deserve love from you. Am sorry you love me so’

I watched his ring of affection slip from my middle finger into the water cistern.

‘Why did you have to propose, why are you trapping me?’

The sound of water flushing brought me back to life as I realised the TRUTH. I screamed in total terror, my hands in the toilet bowl swimming, looking for my love, looking for what made me ...SANE!

Unleash your passion!

In Nigeria, we dream big as kids especially after watching a creative stunt on tv. Be it a movie, song or game. Then we grow up and life in 9ja forces us to pursue other dreams but we keep dreaming in our quiet moments about our inner talent, how we would love to unleash it and let the millions roll in as we see on TV yet, the fear of the unknown keeps our talent buried inside. And we sometimes grow old and die wondering if we had the chance to unleash our talent how would life have been for us.

I grew up dreaming of being a world class choreographer and singer, with age, the singing died but the dancing didn't and i majored in it. Coming out to this cruel world made me realize "dance no go put food always for my table". so i jumped into another passion"writing". till i nurse that passion inside.

I know alot of us have such hidden desires; talents we want to show the world we are good at and can be better at. Let's do this people, lets share our passion, our fears and our dreams in my group called ENIGMA on facebook. Let's see how we can come together and birth our desires. Let's take that leap of faith, be adventurous and try, try and see if we can live our hearts desires and make it work. So we can grow old with a smile on our face.

Join me in the group "Enigma" on facebook group. www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=101021109947576&ref=ts
