THE MAN OF MY DREAMS by Adegoke Olawunmi


So my friend, Olawunmi, decided to dip her hands into her heart to bring out a poem. She came up with one of the most beautiful poems I have ever read. Please enjoy it and leave your comments below...

The man of my dreams                                                      
 Can't wait for dusk to fall                                          
To catch a glimpse of him                                                
 Though the night may seem short                                         
 It’s always a feel of heaven on earth                                                                                                                                                

The man of my dreams                                                
An admire to all                                             
Gorgeous and well crafted                                               
Heaven knows and well speak                                                        
 His name with time I will know and tell                         
Ifeanyichuckwu I call him for now                                           

 Ifeanyichuckwu                                                                                                        
His face I love to see                                                        
 I will squint my eyes to stare                                                                                        
 Even in darkest of night                                         
 Till we see and meet in face    

 Ifeanyichuckwu.                                                         
 Ever seated amongst the kings                                  
 A Geber for real I know                                            
 He shall cover my under garment                           
 For none other save him to see                                                                                   
His heart finds trust                                                                    
As he delights in me by day          


Ifeanyichuckwu                                                                                                         
Bends knees at rising                                           
And never bares his back on bed                                        
Without flipping through pages of    script                                                                                                                                 
 Little wonder he's an embodiment of wisdom    


Ifeanyichuckwu                                                       
 God's very beloved                                                                                               
Whose members are kept safe                               
Till that very day                                                                                       
 We both say I do before Him                                                                                          
 And all bare record to the command kept

Ifeanyichuckwu
I behold and see Him in him                                                         
 My heart is captured from within                                         
My senses intact I keep

The man of my dreams shall come to me in due time                                                                                
 Fair or dark he may be                                                         
 I will choose to care less                                                   
Then I will know and say                                                                                                      
 "Ifeanyichuckwu is sent from God himself”

NIGERIA AT 70



I took time this morning to go over the course of events in the past 55 years.

Truth be told, if after everything we have been through in this country, we still stand and we still refer to Nigeria as Nigeria, then we have done well with holding faith in our possibilities. Truth is, with that FAITH blended with UNITY, we’ll have PEACE and PROGRESS as yields.

Timi Dakolo always does it for me with his song on Nigeria…

*********

I project to 15 years' time and I see a Country where EVERYTHING works

A civil society where everybody sees the success of the Federal Republic as a JOINT RESPONSIBILITY

A place where people operate with Natural Excellence and achieve outstanding results.

I see growth in Our Economy, I see the Economy diversified with multiple streams of income for the Country and multiple exploration of the many beautiful resources we have been endowed with

I see transparency and accountability in all leadership positions. I see Servant Leaders and people of Integrity rise to the occasion

I see with all brightness the ‘death’ of corruption

I see Civil Servants that are ready to give their best to ensure that the country is effectively and efficiently runadministrative processes that result in positive yields that can be evidently seen

I see the Educational system work with experts in different field produced.

I see Innovation per excellence. I see ideas and strategies being conceived and implemented

I see Statistics that are a true reflection of the state of things. I see Policies that WORK

I see ALL sectors workfrom Health to Power to Security to Infrastructure to Aviation to EVERYTHING

I see a government which is OF the people indeed, by the people indeed and FOR the people indeed.

Arise O’Compatriots, Nigeria’s Call Obey!

God Bless Our Nigeria

Happy Independence!!!
