THIEVES OF THE DELTA RE-RUN (GEJ and the 40 thieves)


To hear you say to me, that the experiences of my heart(that very intangible but more-than real habitation of all that is physically potential), will become the crafted-structure of my immediate and later future, is wonderful and beautiful enough to make me engage more in the 'pursuit of purpose'.

I seem to want to believe you, because of the emotional therapy that pursuit would provide me; but i'm tempted to get a little bit practical-to see things the way they are on the ground...but in the process of getting practical, i know it would make a mess of the hope concept. Yet,can i just indulge a little? Hope seems torn out and down. I had so much hope for a change of d status quo. How does a future leader craft a future in leadership when all he has seen has been a failed-rulership? That's all young people my age have seen-i thought i was going to show them a new, maybe different way-i thought a new and true way would prevail...

What shred of strenght am i supposed to cling to when the my will, my part in the election package is reneged on at the finishing line? What kind of father would give his son a stone when the child asks for bread? Only a witch would give her first son up to be murdered for promotion in their hierachy...


I may seem to want a whole lot of too much on offer or too much of the opportunities within my reach/achievement. Please do i ask for too much? Is it a dream? more less a huge dream to want a little bit more from constituted authority? Do you thgink i'm over-stretching the boundaries? When i have never had my due? When i have been so far deprived my due? Even when everyone else in getting, i have never gotten a free lunch in free-town!!

The experiences of my big heart; what i have dreamed; the society i could have been; the possibillities that have rumbled deep within-to craft with the thoughts developed from studying climes far from me, those climes i hope to touch in the soonest future...but will i ever get there?

I hear the sounds of "ghetto child" by JOE as i search for the appropriate verbs and idioms that would birth my thoughts on paper. tears fight hard to stop from trickling down my cheeks as i remember the 6th of january 2011 rape after so many other rape experiences on DELTA STATE in the past. As JOE sings on, i really try as a ghetto child, to 'see the best in me'; i'm afraid i see less than the required specification. Even GEJ said something similar in his declaration speech last year...now he orchestrates the first heist of 2011 just to secure for himself the presidential candidacy of his PDP, what will he do to get the presidency? Any difficulty in predicting future election outcomes?

I suspect that to some people, moving away from all that i was driving at for a few days to concentrate on mobilizing critical mass for the delta re-run would seem like a waste of time, realizing that GEJ had already commissioned result manipulation to be carried out by serving commissioners, members of the state house of assembly and special assistants physically carrying ballot boxes... But i choose to find hope in the hopelessness that i feel, i choose to soar above what i see...


I'm still finding where my thoughts get to align in all of this...I WONDER where this T-junction leads...JOY BECKONS even though the merchants of men's soul are laughing now!!!

    you should have read it thoroughly, the only thing im recieving and gaining is a new lease of life in my state, delta. i personally witnessed the re-run and the pain of 80% of deltans realizing that their votes doesnt count, is not a nice feelin...

    its sad my brother,i feel ur heart. however i will choose to see hope in the seeming hopelessness of the situation and drive with purpose in mind to help renew the minds of the future leaders in our peers n coming generations,harnessing mind power,truth n hunger for true greatness as nation to create the change that brings the divdends of democracy to the poor masses who suffer the most.lets do something each day towards changing the attitude n mentalities of our people for good,change from inside-out.this way effective change will be achieved. nothing will happen unless we keep doing something. keep up the good work
