Superman Syndrome

Superman vs Clark Kent



As a fallout of Father's Day, I thought about all the wonderful things we all did and said to our respective fathers. Fathers are indeed awesome, we can never appreciate them enough!
In this piece I write about something we don't get to discuss, not just about fathers but men. I believe we should jettison social media correctness here. Yes, it's OK to rant (not a 'Kanye' though). We are told in leadership classes to always be diplomatic with our words - right. I think I have been nice and dandy thus far so a little 'anti' won't hurt shebi? So I will be playing Ugly Duckling here. I trust you can handle it. (It will be our little secret).

Not Too Young To Run!

The Young and the Old need each other!
Again, I intend to continue the tread. Last blog post, I alluded to the bill seeking the downward review of the legal age for people to run for elective positions. Thanks to Hon. Tony Nwulu, the bill has passed the Second Reading and is now at Committee level.
So this piece to a very large extent was inspired by the conversations that ensued and are a continuum.

Mavins And Mavericks

PMB with a cross-section of youths in a "selfie"
In my penultimate blogpost, I ended on the importance of proffering solutions. Understand that the same energy we use in antagonizing and agonizing is the same energy we can channel into organizing. Yes the economy seems to be at a nadir but I can tell you for free that I know people who are prospering more than when things were seemingly "ok".

ALI - G.O.A.T

Ali - G.O.A.T

Real quick! Five points from Ali.
If you read my earlier blog posts "Stand Down" and "Faith to Faith" you would think I had the physique for boxing or at the very least had the passion for it. No, don't be afraid I don't think I even qualify for the Lightweight Division. I just love watching great people do what they love to do with excellence - this man was without question the greatest.
