Reposted from @mardlifetv - Fortune favors the bold. What favors the timid? Misfortune? Destruction? Penury? Lack? Or fortune also? Nigerians are generally a bold collection of people. Any assembly of people, irrespective of the number of people there, if there is or are Nigerians there, they easily make themselves known, try to dominate proceedings or at least, ensure you’ll never forget your encounter with them. But what happens when it comes to politics and policy? Nigerians generally are either not bold or can’t be bothered about it. The smartest as well as the most honest and hard-working people in Nigeria have got a phobia for everything related to getting involved in governance. We generally believe politics is a “dirty game”, filled with greedy, evil people and we don’t want to get “stained” or loose our “virtues” by getting involved with them. Meanwhile, since the “worst” of us are the only ones willing to get their hands dirty in the muddy waters of Nigerian politics, every year we come back to complain about having to choose from the best of two evils. Fortune favors the bold. A few intelligent and passionate people are running for various offices in this election. If you have not been bold enough to run for office or join a political office, the least you can do is support those who have summoned the boldness to do so. Cast your vote for people you genuinely believe in. Fortune does favors the bold. Fortune also favors the wise voters.

Reposted from @mardlifetv - By Their Fruits By their fruits, you shall know them. I can’t count how many times I have heard that, just as I have lost count of how many times I have seen it come to fruition. Negatively and positively. It is easy to get caught up on the negative aspects of any issue, but then just as bad trees produce bad fruits, so do good trees produce good fruits. People can only hide their true nature for so long. If you give them enough time, they will manifest their truest forms. But that doesn’t call for paranoia. There are people who are brought up to be good natured, or who have opted to always give the best bit of themselves to everyone they encounter. Learn to accept them, appreciate them and not give them a reason to regret this. As for those who have chosen to be evil despite good upbringing or who have decided to remain as bad as possible, respect their choice and give them the distance necessary in relating with them. Don’t ignore warnings from others about how bad someone is then come back crying about how all men are dogs or how no woman will make it into heaven. Fruits never fall far from their parent trees. Look. Ask questions. All of their neighbors can’t be uniformly evil while they just happened to be the only saint on the street.
