THE FIGHT CLUB

Hello once again, beautiful people. Today I want to talk about the “The Fight Club”. I am writing this piece in reference to the famous Brad Pitt movie with the same title. Before I begin, I will like to start with a brief synopsis of the movie “The fight Club”. This movie is about a character Brad Pitt who is a charismatic activist who owns a fight club and encourages its members to transfer their anger towards society to themselves through violence. He talks about the unfairness of society and how the government limits our freedom to speak,what we hear and the kind of clothes they should wear. The members of this club are regular folks who are fed up with life and they get-off of each other by beating each other senseless. The main character himself is a lazy bum who has a wrecked apartment but is charismatic enough to amass quite a following.

THE THIN LINE BETWEEN JEALOUSY AND RESENTMENT (THE “THIN LINE” SERIES)

Hello once again, today I want to discuss  a trend that is as old as the creation of man which is jealousy and how it has been mistaken for resentment. The topic of jealousy takes various shades and colours from the jealousy of a lover, the jealousy of a specific gift to the jealousy of a person’s success. The reason why I am writing this is to tell you that being jealous is ok, but don’t let it grow into resentment. I know you might say “hey aren’t those the same?” but they are totally different things and in this piece, I will tell you the difference between the two. My definition of Jealousy is an advanced form of admiration for someone when they do something or perform a feat which you are unable to do. For instance let us take two male singers one is a high pitch singer who can even use the “whistle” technique of singing and the other singer who has a baritone voice capable of shaking the bones of any listener. The high pitched singer could be jealous because he does not h...

YOU ARE NOT “NORMAL”

Hello once again, today I want to write about the word “Normal” and how it relates to our young ones and by young ones, I am talking about our teenagers who have been pressured into doing things that our society deems “Normal” which ideally is considered wrong. On the next part of this series, I will be talking to full grown adults which also include me. I will be talking about some of the vices that affect our teens these days. Mind you, I am not a scientist. What I am about to write is what I have observed in my present locale. So please if you know any other vice, feel free to leave them at the comment section of this blog.

Words of Wisdom for the New Month

Hello folks, welcome to the end of the first month of the year and the beginning of the second month of the year 2016. At this point we can say that this year is not new anymore and we can finally get off the couch and do some work and exercise our brains. The brain is said to be the hard drive of the human body which stores information/releases information to the entire body. There is a popular saying “You cannot give what you don’t have”. If your brain is filled with nothing, you won’t be able to give anything to your society.

THE “SINK OR SWIM” SITUATION OF AN ARTIST

Hello people, welcome once again to my blog, today I want to talk about the “sink or swim” situation an artist faces when he/she performs on stage. This time, I am writing from my own personal experience as a music director in my local church here in Nigeria. I have two main reasons for writing this piece. The first is to help others to overcome the bane of every artist called “stage fright”. The second reason is more of a selfish one. I am writing it to remind myself why I do what I do and encourage myself to do it. Alright, imagine you are in a vast ocean, and your boat has a slight crack at the bottom. In that situation, you can only sink and drown or hang on to the nearest driftwood you can find and swim till you find land. This is what happens every time an artist gets on stage to perform. Those who have made the decision to swim are those who are confident in their skills (driftwood) and swim across the ocean of onlookers who are looking up to you for something. On the other ...

HARNESSING THE POWER OF YOUR SOUL THROUGH MUSIC

Hello people, I am back again with another one of my crazy theories about life. In this case, I want to write about how to harness your soul when it comes to music. Like I always say this is not a real scientific research that I conducted but it is something I have observed. We have heard hits like “Hello” by Adele, “Hello” by Lionel Richie, “Flashlight” by Jessie J, “All of Me” by John Legend and so many others. I believe these people tapped into their souls to write such ground breaking, soul reviving lyrics. This article states my reason for this assumption.
