Happy birthday to me.

Today in Nigeria, it has been slated for hunger, hardship and insecurity protest which is ravaging the country. Both the rich and the poor are crying and our leaders can not deny it.

But in our dear state Ebonyi we are asked not to protest that our governor is doing well which is in no way false. In Ebonyi state we have a Human and infrastructure builder, a father who truly cares for his people. But the record should be put streat, that the protest is never against our governor but Mr President.
We are asking Tinubu to bring down the fuel price and the price of commodities in the market. A bag of rice from 25k to 85k, fuel pump price from 180 to 820. This is pump price in the city, in the hinter land like Okponga oza, Ojiegbe oza, Onuenyim agbaja and the likes places a litre of fuel is #1,100, #1,200 depending the time and location. A 100kg of groundnuts from #60,000 to #250,000. We have forgotten that a bag of cement was sold #2500 be this administration came to power but today it is 7100, 7200 depending on the brand. And we are told to keep quiet that our governors are doing well.
But we should not forget that there are areas that only the president can address it such as fuel, food, security etc.
Abeg how much is a penter of garri in your area?
I don't want to talk about insecurities in the south east because if I do I may be asked to pull down my birthday post. I simpatise with my people in Imo state.

Oh!! Lord on this my birthday I remembered your word that says "Sorrows endured for the night but morning comes with Joy".
With this, my Father in heaven I ask for one thing as a birthday request: May this bold move by Nigerians piears the hearts of our leaders and bring a positive change.

The poor can grow!!

Just what if........, what if?

Samson

It wasn't his hair that made him weak to his knees,
It was the fact that he told her his secret and she told his enemies,
Betrayal made the world's strongest man weak,
Left in shock for almost a week.
In the cell he was locked and chained as a prisoner, he shivered,
He sat there. The deliverer of nations sitting in chains waiting to be delivered.

Shush, don't close the book yet,
She realised her mistake and was struck by regret.
Ran past the soldiers into the arena where he was paraded,
His blinded eyes received light at the sound of her voice like a city when it's raided.
She apologised and asked for his forgiveness, saying she thought he was joking.
So she put it to the test only to realise that he was being honest about all the words he had spoken.

That's when his captors realised that he wasn't trapped by them all along,
She whispered into his ears of her love for him and suddenly, he became strong.
"Leave at once!" he begged her so she'd not be crushed as he began to push the pillars,
But she refused, she'd rather die beside the one man who risked his truth to her despite the fact she sold him to killers.
And so she leaned on him as he pushed the pillars to crumble, breaking the chains like weak wool,
She'd have loved to live a life time with him but dying beside him was also cool.
