OLD RELATIONSHIPS GO NEUTRAL ATIMES

 The picture below shows 2 great men in Nigeria, former President Olusegun Obasanjo and Undeclared Nigerian President-Elect, Moshood Kashimawo Olawale Abiola smiling at each other at an occasion. It is interesting to note that Abiola and Obasanjo have known each other since 1951 at Baptist Boys High School Abeokuta, Ogun state.

Meaning that preceding the 1993 elections,  Abiola and Obasanjo have known each other for more than 40 years. Not only were they age mates but both showed very sterling leadership qualities and brilliance to qualify as editorial board members of the school’s Trumpeters magazine.

The same deputy editor, Olusegun Obasanjo turned out to become the 2 time president of the Federal Republic of Nigeria while MKO Abiola emerged to become an international businessman and politician. Despite being in same elitist class for years, I do feel that the agelong relationship never reached it full potentials.

This tells us that wisdom to handle relationships and take critical decisions is critical for self-survival. What is in the future of relationships is more than what has happened previously. Address matters scientifically and steady your relationships. Never under-estimate anyone. Do your best to stay right and follow peace with all men.

NEW SERIES COMING!: READ AND EVOLVE

I will be writing short reflections on Icons I personally admire in the world of arts, politics, creativity and other careers.  The need for this is becoming more and more real because there are many problems in the world and the solution to them should lead to the discovery of self and essence to humanity. Reading is losing to Teeveeing as attention span for text is shortening. This is the reality we have to live with but it might take all the energy to put all the knowledge we need on TV.

The solution to real world problems starts from moving as an individual in the world of knowledge from known to unknown. It is better to know than not to know even though you do not need experiential knowledge to take a decision on everything. Start reading omnivorously and let your reading widen your knowledge of the world while you stay solution driven. On the day such knowledge meets today's world problems with a sound mind, The commotion in such a mind has several mild names- deep thinking, thinking through, brainstorming, analysis etc. The output it produces is what many of us called breakthrough, solution, innovation and achievement...whatever.

As we commence these iconic reflections with short posts, I plead that you join us daily to have a mix of fun and knowledge.

Read and Evolve! 

THE KING OF PYONGYANG VERSUS THE KINGS OF ASIA

Now North Korea has released another failed missile today, making it the fourth in less than 3 months, calling the bluff of even the United Nations in this regard. Pyongyang, even though, only tested a medium- range missile but Japan, China, South Korea and the United States all believe he will test long-distance missiles against neighboring countries in the shortest possible time. The one today travelled 71km!
The North Korean President Kim Jong Un through the Korean Peoples Army (KPA) has been receiving strong support from Russia and has promised to go ahead and produce more nuclear missiles that is capable of triggering offences across the Asian region. Although this war may sound far away, the alliance against North Korea is getting stonger daily- with South Korea, China, Japan and the United States forming a powerful ally to support the United Nations resolution against nuclear proliferation.
Now I have no issues with North Korea but the alliance Kim Yong Un is planning to fight this time will never ever go to sleep! It may be a war with a lot of heavy prices on both sides for several reasons. Firstly, Pyongyang currently is fighting The Power bloc of Asia possibly to prove to Chinese leader Xi Jinping that China cannot lead the region. With that class of regional enemy and an American cum UN support, North Korea, historically, must learn how to trust in Russia.
 China, Japan and South Korea are all seeing Pyongyang’s nuclear activities as a test of their entire existence. As a result, The alliance against North Korea is also getting stronger daily and so will it continue to be and I won’t be surprised, if 2 days to the war, the military personnel expected to lead North Korea nuclear to war disappears with Kim Yong Un himself (lol) but lets even say he didn’t.
North Korea wants this war upon that Putin-fuelled mindset that America has nuclear facilities too but lies to the world that it is for defense when it is really for offense also. The only thing I am sure of is that America will not leave her decisions of going to war, no matter what ammunition it has, in the hands of a 35 years old, punk hair-styled communist dictator or a crazy, dreaming soldier who wants to turn Africa into a farm. Such serious decisions in America are debated strongly with structure, systems and controls before an action is taken.
With respect to America, Trump has succeeded in taking us away from the senseless publicity enjoyed by so called faceless terrorists-ISIS, Al Qaeda, Al shabaab and Boko Haram. Not that terrorism does not exist currently but you know so well now that your entire country’s citizenry might suffer migration ban for just your own misbehavior. If you need people to kill, go to your own country and kill, not in the United States.
In conclusion, it is high time South Korea and China rises to correct this Russian-fueled monster. Everybody in the Asian bloc has succeeded without communism so he has nothing to say. He can only continue to be the King of Pyongyang not Asia. Kim Yong Un should be told about a Yoruba proverb that says “enitio batiii de oko baba elomii ri lo ma so pe oko baba ohun lo tobi ju” i.e you don’t boast of your father’s farm until you see the farm of other people’s fathers. This war will either unseat Kim Jong Un and terminate North Korean communism or make him the King of Asia over China, Japan and South Korea. I do not know which one is easier.
