THOUGHTS OF A CALABAR BOY

LEAVE YOUR KIDS ALONE!

If we so care to know, the beauty of our world is probably locked in the prudish imaginations of kiddies and we need to give them time and space to work it out in their own way. I kind of like to see the role of parenting as stewarding – keep the house clean and not move the furniture around.

Would Jesus support health care reform?

Calabarboy — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 23:40:21 +0000

Reblogged from CNN Belief Blog: By John Blake, CNN (CNN) – He was a healer, a provider of universal health care, a man of compassion who treated those with preexisting medical conditions. We don’t know what Jesus thought about the individual mandate or buying broccoli. But we do know how the New Testament describes him. [...]

A TWIST TO JOSEPH KONY

Yes we are confronted with the danger of a single story, but let’s not forget that we aren’t the ones telling the story. Someone else is doing so. Therefore we have no justification to question that story when we haven’t told anything different. You see the world responds to those who can tell stories, and emotional ones for that matter.

IS DEVELOPMENT THAT DIFFICULT?

With this, I quickly admitted that someone is doing her homework well and it is very evident. Before Mrs. Stella Odua became Minister of Aviation (although I think the Ministry should be scrapped), someone else was in that role.

I MUST SAY SOMETHING: THE KAMIKAZE DRIVERS OF ABUJA

Calabarboy — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 18:55:38 +0000

I keep asking myself if a nation that cannot police its few roads can claim to have the capacity to deal with higher security concerns such as terrorism.

WILL CALABAR LET ITS CHILDREN DIE?

Calabarboy — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 23:22:54 +0000

So my fellow Calabarian, please do something, anything that lies in your power to ensure that Calabar doesn’t lose its twin children of music and food. Isn’t it ironic that we say music is the soul’s food? Great! The city will not only be feeding the nation physically, but also mentally.

NIGERIA: THE BEGGARS COLONY

Calabarboy — Wed, 01 Jun 2011 22:52:27 +0000

It is very unfortunate that this is what life has been reduced to in our society, one of entitlements. People walk around with a bold statement on their foreheads: “Watchout! You owe me something”.
