My Visions are Shaping

In my formative years, I had a dream to be a doctor, a far cry from being a musician. This dream was shattered by circumstances, and situations beyond my younger might. Thus, a phase in musical career was borne.

It was a bumpy ride. It was filled with challenges and impediments that almost tainted my good personality. Unrelenting, I held steadfastly to my vision. The desire to succeed is far greater than the fear of failure. I strived against all the odds to be here today: a fulfilled and successful musician. It is indeed a satisfaction.

Whereas, I have, on many occasions been proclaimed a "Doctor" in the field of Music. A feat made possible as a result of an enviable effort in the field. But yet, I am not carried away with such praises.

Education is said to be the best legacy. The same urge to succeed that has continually spurred me on in my music career, has again propelled me to pursue a career in academic.

Upon enrolment for a full-time course at the Department of Political Science at the prestigious University of Ibadan, I have received a deluge of encomiums. I am glad to inform you that one of my dreams in academia is gradually becoming a reality.

I am as determined as ever. My resolve is to make music a reflection of my visions, my life, my accomplishments, and the shape this sojourn is taking. To propagate values and ethical comports both in Music and Academics, to make my teeming fans proud, and to religiously shape myself to be better every day, these are my visions.

I am Alhaji Saheed Osupa Okunola: A musician of note and a Political Scientist in the making. I love to be educated, to be enlightened, and to be impactful in all spheres of life.

'Ise kekere, owo n la' Less Work: More pay

Actually, that idiomatic expression as often employed in our prayers " Ise kekere, owo nla" can be understood from different perspectives. This is not to decry our elders. They have given varieties of proverbs to suit needs and moments beyond what a motivational book can condensedly give. 'Ai'ni arojinle ni mu iyawo pe oko re ni were nitori pe omo re omo were ni, oun gan fun rare iyawo were ( It's only a lack deep reflection that will make a wife call her husband a mad man because as such her child is the child of a mad man and she is a wife of a mad man). The focal point is the effect this idiomatic prayer has wrought on our social mentality like the musical cliche that has also turned into another idiomatic expression: " Mi o lè wa ku, mo ti gbiyan ju, Moti se iwon ti mo lè se, alubarika alubarika nikoko" ( I can't over-exert myself. I have given it my best shot. God's blessing is significant). That rendition always lowers determinat...

True True Mark of a Champion: Both Liverpool and Manchester City Came from behind to Claim Maximum Points in their Matches

Klopp called his boys mentality monsters and of course they are. Coming from behind three times in a week to secure victory was massive. Aston Villa got the first goal and they intended to sit on it. They pushed and held forth till like 80 minutes into the game when Robertson equalised and Mane got the most dramatic winner at the tick-tock of the last minute. They are the king of comebacks. No one does it better than Klopp guys. #AVLLIV On #MCISOU James Ward Prowse tucked a rebound from Stuart Armstrong strike to put Sothampton ahead. City heaved and puffed before they could get an equaliser. Until Kyle Walker secured a goal and later assisted Aguero for the winner. Kyle Walker, the savior. Guardiola would love to be ahead but Klopp this time would not be willing to relinquish such lead. It unfolds we follow sha! --toonday

Arteta Cashed-out on Ole as Pepe and Papa each scored to Whittle the Witless Devil to 2-0 Defeat

Arsenal euphorically got an early lead. Pepe peppered some ball into the net 7 mins early like against Chelsea. Manchester united after the first goal seemed hole-d up.James no space to run. Martial finding footing and fortune. Rashford foggy. Arsenal: ecstatic in the first half. Pepe scored a goal. Dribbled well. Hit the post. Papa scored the second goal. The second half began. Oezil so far was unpredictably unstoppable to the opponents. He simplified passes with wit and unbelievably covered more distance than anybody. Xhaka tidier. Torreira was combatively intelligent: winning tackles like birthright. David Luiz "Puyol" the defence for Arsenal. Manchester fans couldnt find Rashy nor Martial as Torreira has happened to their creativity. Fred tried his freddie best but his last freekick was so worse bad that the commentator wondered whether the ball was still in North London. Arteta came with his face but a brain of Guardiola. Fans ask who is at the whee...
