Glory
» In My Eyes This afternoon I took a walk around the garden just to get my head clear and something struck me, every living creature has a purpose and a place in life. Take the flower, a flower grows from the ground, it blooms, is admired for its beauty, glorifying God, it then spreads its seeds or seedlings and dies, The honey bee. A bee is born it grows, pollinates flowers, makes honey, procreates and dies. We eat the honey, we admire the flowers and are grateful to God for them. So now, what is the purpose of the human being? We are born, we go to school and learn, we graduate and work, we get married and bring forth offspring but in all of that do we give glory to God? Sometimes I think we forget the purpose of our existence and hence end up not achieving or accomplishing as much as we could or should.br /br /Don't forget to give God glory today. In all you do, all you say and all you are remember it is all for the glorification of God.div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-479804204262112664?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com' alt='' //div -

Today.
» In My Eyes I woke up this morning with something on my mind,nbsp;I realized just now that I had something to say. nbsp;I've been looking around me lately at everyone I know and something has been bothering me.nbsp;There seem to be too many single people desperately seeking love, or something...nbsp;I asked myself why that was,nbsp;I came to the conclusion that we're probably judging a lot of books by their covers.br /br /br /A while ago I suddenly realized that I was attracting all the wrong sort of men into my life sonbsp;I asked myself some serious questions and came to the conclusion that it probably had a lot to do with the fact that I wasn't being true to myself.nbsp;So I decided to stop trying to please and impress everyone, because honestly no one was really impressed, so I decided to just be myself.br /br /I started to do the things that I wanted to do because, lets face it, we only live once.nbsp;Whats the point of living in constant regret?nbsp;I quit worrying about what everyone else thought because they've all got minds of their own to worry about their own thoughts with, and I stopped complaining about everything that was wrong and started opening my eyes to all the things that were and are right.br /br /So today I asked myself why I hadn't found that perfect person yet or should I say why they hadn't found me and I came to the conclusion that a lot of people live in fear. nbsp;Fear of failure so I decided that if someone was brave enough to put themselves out there like that then they at least deserve to be heard out. nbsp;We're all the same at the end of the day none better than the others. All created alike and equal.br /br /All the things we acquire in life don't really do much for us because at the end of the day we all have our beautiful and our ugly, our good and our bad, our shortcomings and strengths. nbsp;You see money can buy a lot of things but it doesn't really change the way we are as people.br /br /So today, I'm taking a new look at life and just enjoying it for what it is, come what may at the end of the day I, like everyone else, await the person that is willing to love me for who and what I am, the beautiful ugly, sweet, sour, naughty, nice, good, bad and everything else in-between.br /br /10:10-10:43 (after the music interlude)div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-5863157047673958255?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com' alt='' //div -

The responsibilities of being free.
» In My Eyes I'm happy to be here, to be experiencing this very moment. To have the pleasure of being in the here and now is more than a gift, it's a blessing.br /br /Today I just sat for a moment and thought about all the sacrifices that were made in order for us to be here doing whatever it is we're all doing today. The silences, the atrocities suffered, the battles, the struggles, the wars, the pride, the blood, the pain, the anger, the anguish, the lessons, the struggles, the suffering, the hard work, the tears all of that just for you and I to be standing here today as free and blessed people. Being able to make our own choices, speak our own minds, think our own thoughts and just be. That made me feel grateful, cherished and blessed. Then it made me think of the millions of other people that haven't made it here yet. Those that still suffer unimaginable atrocities or discrimination due to their sex, religion, age, race, tribe, abilities and so on. We need not forget that they are counting on us now to fight for them just as we have been fought for.divbr //divdivFor those struggling to be heard, to be seen, just to get through the day, we are responsible, may we never neglect or forget our responsibility to them.

Is that it??? 15
» In My Eyes This morning I woke up pissed off, actually I think I went to bed pissed off. Are Africans really that shallow minded and superficial? I don't get it, is there something on my head that says 'I'm dumb just just shake all your apparent wealth in front of my face and I'll like you'? In all the time I've been here the one thing that has really disappointed me is the way people never really take the time to get to know you before they decide (based on what somebody else says) who and what you are.divbr /div/divdivI can almost count how many conversations of substance people have initiated with me in the last month. I'm talking conversations that didn't center around materialistic possessions that don't even last, not conversations about their business deals, what they do for money or how much money they are making. At first I just used to be quiet when they would go on and on and on about things that literally are as fleeting as time until I realized that they were beginning to hate me or disrespect me because they figured that if I wasn't interested in sharing all that information with them I was either feeling awkward because I didn't have it, jelous because I wanted it or silently sniggering because I felt they thought they had it when in fact they didn't (which span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-style: italic;"maybe/span I was). Needless to say my silence was earning me enemies. So I decided to play along, stoke their egos, ask them all about it, look impressed, look at them admiringly because let's face it that's all they really want./divdivbr //divdiv/divdivWell if you're reading, because I hear Africans don't read, let me tell you about me. I couldn't care less how many millions you own because the truth of the matter is having millions won't make you a better person. I don't care how flashy your car is because the thing about cars is that they begin to depreciate in value as soon as you drive them out of the show room and it's down hill every moment after that besides owning a car doesn't make you any more compassionate. I don't care about what designer you're wearing because wearing designer clothing doesn't make you any more caring, neither do I care how luxurious your house is or how many vacations you take each year because honestly all that useless information won't make you any more charitable, and as lovely as it all is all this stuff tells me absolutely nothing about who you are as a person./divdivbr //divdiv/divdivI mean what makes you tick, what are your fears, what are your hopes, what's your ambition what do you live for? Where's your soul??? There must be more to you than your material worth. Nobody was born with diamonds in their ears or designer clothing on their back. God didn't send us here with wads of money in our hands and I'm sick to death of people force feeding me their assumed wealth. 'I am a millionaire and I own half the country, I like the way you look, you span style="font-style: italic;"seem/span cool so I want to date(I mean sleep with) you, then marry you, just as long as we don't actually get round to talking, you just stand there like that and make me look good. Yeah... that's it. hehehehehe'. Please! Don't waste my time, I'd rather party alone than be an ornament./divdivbr //divdiv/divdivPeople keep asking me why I don't have a boyfriend, who my boyfriend is, how come they never see me with any particular guy. Now they've even started insinuating that I'm a lesbian. It's amazing what happens when you turn a guy down! Are you trying to tell me that as a woman I have two options:/divdivbr //divdivdiv style="text-align: justify;"A.span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /spanAccept the propositions I get from men because let's face it they can give you everything span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /spanyou span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /spanwant and take care of you! Who cares if they are womanizing, cheating, assholes, that span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /spandon't really give a shit about your feelings just as long as they can buy you stuff right?

So okay let's say you decide to go that route span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /spanmost of them are complete arses, (not all of them though) so at the end of the year you're span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /spanevaluating the year just past and discovering that you've dated about 7 different idiots in span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /spanthe space of 12 months everyone automatically assumes you must've slept with them you span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space:pre" /span"Slapper!" /divdiv style="text-align: justify;"br //divdiv style="text-align: center;"Or wait!

If you can't find anything to tell me about yourspan style="font-style: italic;"self, /spanyour experiences in life, what makes you happy, what makes you angry, why you are the way you are, what you stand for, what you believe in, what your aim is in life, what moves you. If you can not tell me who you are and not what you have then you must have a lot to hide. What are you so afraid of? Me??? You have no reason to be afraid of me I am just as flawed as you are, I have faults, I'm not perfect, these days I don't even try to hide my shortcomings because the sooner you get to know me for who I am the better it'll be for all of us then you can look at me and say 'As for Toke she is so sensitive about everything and she doesn't know how to take a joke but she's the sort of person that will encourage you and be there for you when you span style="font-style: italic;"really/span need her (maybe). She'll be willing to stand up for you when everybody else is dogging you but chale she hates it when you don't pay attention to her and she's such a baby sometimes but she's pretty easy going and usually quick to forgive plus she's willing to put up with a lot of my crap.' and decide if that's what you need or not that way you don't waste your time and I don't waste mine.br /br /div style="text-align: right;"11:07/divdiv style="text-align: right;"15.06.08/div/div/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-6662024425152549172?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com'//div -

Karma
» In My Eyes Right now my topics are Karma, consequence and repercussion.br /br /I believe that this world we live in holds the answers to all the questions that it poses us. In Hindu and Buddhist teachings they refer to karma as the philosophy by which the quality of people’s current and future lives is determined by their behavior in this and previous lives. Now I’m not Hindu and neither am I Buddhist and you know I love to ask questions and question all the answers and theories I’m presented with so the first question I asked myself was “What do they mean by previous lives? I am not in a position within my present state to challenge or even be conscious of what occurred in my previous life” (that is if I even had one). So I decided to rationalize that in a way that was more suitable to my perceptions and way of thinking so I figured ‘what if all my previous lives are just previous chapters in my current life?’ so that would mean for example that the life I lived prior to moving to Ghana maybe when I was in England, Nigeria or even earlier on in Ghana can all be seen as previous lives to me now that I am in this present situation within this current setting; my current life. So that made karma (according to Hindu and Buddhist teachings) an easier pill for me to swallow.br /br /Now I ask myself, and you, why does it even matter? Well now that is a good question, because you see if the settings given above are what we now take to be the meaning of karma then we can better see how when we do things they will affect us later. I have other theories relating to this that, maybe, I’ll write about later but my point is when we look at life like this we can better see how we have the opportunity, when put in similar situations to ones we’ve been in previously, to fix tings that we might have messed up on previously or at least deal with those situations in a more appropriate and forgiving manner having experienced them before and thus affecting our karma in future in a positive way. Christian teachings tell us that when someone wrongs us we should forgive them and basically offer them the opportunity to be put in the exact same position again in order for them to correct the mistake they made the first time around hence turning the other cheek. (I think the Jewish teachings upon which these Christian teachings are based teach us something slightly different though they say if someone wrongs you once then they are a fool but if they wrong you the same way twice then you are the fool. In other words learn from your mistakes lol.)br /br /Now if we take the Hindu, Buddhist and Christian teachings discussed above it will bring us nicely into my other theory about life. I think that although Christian teachings teach us about heaven and hell being in the after life which apparently comes after death I believe slightly differently (trust me to think otherwise, TOKS!) I believe heaven and hell all play themselves out right here on earth. By this I mean think about some of the less enjoyable situations you’ve been in previously and then think about what happened to bring them about. It always seems like a good idea at the time doesn’t it? Or at the very least it looks like it’s worth the risk. But then when we’re faced with the consequences of our prior actions and it all comes crashing down around us sometimes it almost feels like it could be hell on earth for a little while there doesn’t it? Same goes for when things are going really well we almost feel like we’re walking on air sometimes don’t we?br /br /Sometimes it’s not the actions themselves that are the issue but the way in which we choose to deal with the consequences and repercussions of those actions. I mean we all make mistakes if we’re not making mistakes then we’re not really learning and if we’re not learning then we’re not growing and realistically no one wants to stay the same way forever it’ll get very boring very quickly trust me. It’s so easy to play martyr to our own stupidity, misguided ness or selfishness but in the long run we’ll find it’s a lot easier to just be humble and acknowledge we may have been mistaken; that way giving ourselves the opportunity to learn from our mistakes and move on from them better people.br /br /On the flipside though when we have been wronged it’s very easy to play the victim and point the finger of judgment but the truth is nothing happens for no reason or by magic there is a reason for everything and a lesson to be learnt from it all (and writing that I am sure there may be a day I may come to regret making that statement but let’s not stray from the topic at hand). I think when we try to be a little more thoughtful in our judgment of others we’ll find that when karma kicks in others will be a lot more forgiving of us when we are the ones being judged. Because let’s face it we might not be the ones being exposed at the moment but we were all born naked and believe me our day will come. So let’s quit pointing fingers because in pointing the finger at others one finger points at them but three point back at us.divbr //divdiv style="text-align: right;"08:18/divdiv style="text-align: right;"16.05.08/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-9140666854793638082?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com'//div -

Sankofa
» In My Eyes Over the next week and a half I'm going to be publishing old poems and posts that never got posted. :) I think it's safe to post them now... no one will remember what they were about or who/what they refer to and even if they do, it doesn't matter anyway.br /br /I like them. I hope you do too...div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-2293343202950910647?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com'//div -
Ever changing constants.
» In My Eyes I think I finally get it...br /br /I've been struggle to get myself for a long time now. You know to understand where exactly I fit. I meet people all the time and all too often find that although we're similar we're never quite the same. I'm a little bit of this and a little bit of that. Like one of those packets of mixed nuts and dried fruit you get that has everything in it, some sweet, some savory, some fruit, some nut, some sugar, some salt.br /br /In trying to find where I fit I find I'm often frustrated in friendships and relationships because as much as one person or group of people can quell a yearning or desire to be or feel something there is always something in me that still hasn't found it's place and so when I can no longer take the constant call of the great unknown, the yearning and desire to be known as I've never been known before, I get up and leave. Slowly, quietly but very certainly I walk away.br /br /I'm finding more and more that there is a great divide between what I want and what I need. Or maybe the divide is between who I am and what I'm meant to be. I don't want everything to be serious, I like things to be easy going and yet I take things too seriously and think far more than necessary about everything. I am a childish, not to be taken too seriously, laugh at myself, now let's have a serious conversation about Africa, world history and the way forward for our people, don't look at me wrong or I'll react and you won't like me, I'm quiet, I'm chatty, I'm everyone and no one, I'm everyone except who I want to be. Am I coming? Am I going? Does it matter either way? Nothing's certain, nothings sure, everything changes and yet somehow stays exactly as it was before.br /br /I don't get it...br /br /Here we go, back to the drawing board.br /br /One things for certain. I am not going to be this way when I wake up tomorrow morning. With every chime of the clock, things change, people change, life changes but through it all life remains exactly the same.br /br /An ever evolving, ever revolving changing constant. That's me(life).br /div/divdiv/divdiv17:42-17:50/divdiv11.03.09/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-1042674714587763489?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com'//div -
Nigeria.
» In My Eyes Yesterday I saw Nigeria with new eyes. Inside the mayhem and the constant confusion sometimes it's hard to think but yesterday... Yeah, yesterday I got a chance to think. It's amazing how in one place you can have the best and the worst of everything. Nigerians are such amazing people. And I'm proud to call myself a Nigerian. I've never met people with so much 'soul'. It's one of those places where you have to cut out the everyday sounds and just stop and listen. Because when you do you hear so much!divbr //divdivYou need to be of a particular stock to understand what I mean but when you meet a Nigerian underneath all the grandeur, talk and 'look at me!' you will find one thing in every single one. A sound upbringing. Somebody took the time to tell them. Somebody took the time to tell them what life would be like, somebody took the time to show them what it meant to be humble, to be good, to show respect, to be fair in their dealings with others, to judge not their neighbor lest they themselves be judged. Don't think they don't know! Ask them, they know! Despite what anyone says the best people you will ever come across in your life are from Nigeria. And I'm not saying that because I'm from there I'm saying it because it's true. /divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-5219591625553077671?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com'//div -
Africa Unite!
» In My Eyes It's a shame that so many years after the demise of Bob Marleybr / divAfricans have still not listened to the lyrics of his song./divdiv/divdiv"Africa, unitebr / cause were moving right out of babylonbr / And were going to our fathers landbr / br / How good and how pleasant it would bebr / Before God and man, yeahbr / To see the unification of all africans, yeahbr / As its been said already let it be done, yeahbr / We are the children of the rastamanbr / We are the children of the higher manbr / br / Africa, unite cause the children wanna come homebr / Africa, unite cause were moving right out of babylonbr / And were grooving to our fathers landbr / br / ...br / br / Unite for the benefit of your childrenbr / Unite for its later than you thinkbr / Africa awaits its creators, africa awaiting its creatorsbr / Africa, youre my forefather cornerstonebr / Unite for the africans abroad, unite for the africans a yardbr / Africa, unite"/divdiv/divdiv/divdiv/divdivI would like the think that the readers of my blogs are learned folk so here's a challenge I'd like to throw to you. nbsp;How many of you can name 10 African countries that do large scale trade within Africa? nbsp;Now ideally I would ask how many put large scale trade within Africa ABOVE large scale trade without Africa but change is a slow process so we'll begin one step at a time. nbsp;Maybe I should have even said trade within Africa full stop regardless of the scale (and goods imported from China, Malasia, Singapore, Taiwan, Europe and America do not apply)./divdiv/divdivIt struck me this evening on the way back home that we as Africans (I'm speaking generally here) do not really think past tomorrow. nbsp;Which of our parents planned for our futures? nbsp;Now I mean which of our parents REALLY planned for our futures? Was it our wayward government officials that put lining their pockets way higher up on the list of National importance than the education of it's children? nbsp;After all children and their education is the problem of the parents is it not? nbsp;Or the better off parents that figured "If I'm ok today let me take care of mine WELL, in fact BETTER than well, let me make them sick, stupid and drunk off of the enjoyment so they are of no use to anyone including me or themselves, yeah... that'll stand them in good stead for when I'm no longer here to protect them. To hell with those homeless, parent less children that I see in the streets, to hell with the poor state of our roads, to hell with the lack of infrastructure; that's the governments problem, what do I care?" Or maybe our working class mothers and fathers who go to work day in and day out for the same job but take no pride in their work, have no interest in getting any real results and are happy to just collect the barely basic salary their given every month. nbsp;After all it's not their own fathers company abi?/divdiv/divdivEverybody is happy to put in the barest just as long as it puts food on the table for the next month, whatever happened to the Africans sense of community? nbsp;When was the last time you went to visit your next door neighbor or cautioned their child as he played football in the street? You see the thing about caring for you is that in doing so it makes you want to care for me. Wouldn't you feel so much more comfortable knowing that your neighbors have the same sort of lifestyle you had so you don't have to keep looking over your shoulders everytime you leave your compound? nbsp;Wouldn't it be cool if you and the lady living 3 blocks down could have a meaningful conversation on how you're all going to ensure that your road gets tarred this year? Why are we constantly giving away our Nations resources for peanuts so that other people can put in place the infrastructure that we so badly desire? nbsp;Why has NO African government yet asked that if a company was going to mine in an area or farm or whatever it is that they're are doing they must first ensure that that area has the infrastructure for the materials to be processed there too? nbsp;If they can do it in Europe why not Africa? nbsp;Why do we have to sell them our raw materials for cheap and them buy back those very same things so expensively just because it's been 'processed'? (Like that is even a good thing)./divdiv/divdivAnyway everybody is always asking why and not really doing anything about the answers they are given so I'm tired of asking why. nbsp;Today we need to start asking how? nbsp;How can I make that strangers life better? nbsp;How can I change the way of life for my fellow country men in a positive manner? nbsp;How can I make my Home(Nation) a better place for everybody, not just me but everyone. nbsp;How am I going to stop people from taking advantage of Africa?/divdiv/divdivHOW?/divdiv/divdivBy remembering:/divbr / br / div style="text-align: center;"span style="font-weight: bold;"Sh/spanspan style="font-weight: bold;"ort term goals /spanspan style="font-size: 18px;"span style="font-weight: bold;"≠/span/spanspan style="font-weight: bold;"nbsp;Long term accomplishments./span/divdiv class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-4485637386267028093?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com'//div -
Independent Thinker(s)
» In My Eyes So today... today kind of crept up on me and slapped me in the head from behind.divbr //divdivNo seriously though, I've been thinking, that if I really want to be serious about my chosen vocation(s) I need to start taking myself a bit more seriously. So I've decided to challenge myself. I like writing poetry, but right now poetry pays NO bills around here so poetry needs to start checking herself! So from now on every time I write a poem I have to come back and expand on the subject of that poem by writing, in more detail and with greater insight, about what I think or how I feel about said subject matter and what better time to start than right now?/divdivbr //divdivThe last poem I wrote was called 'Switch your MindSet' and to be honest with you as lovely as it is without the little bit at the end I think it would go above a lot of heads./divdivbr //divdivI was writing about the independent thought of Africans, or the lack there of, since the departure of colonialism. Just prior to and since the 50th independence of Ghana in 2007 I have, all to often, heard people incorrectly refer to Ghana as the first African nation to gain it's independence. That is not true. Although it was the first black African nation to gain independence. The first African nation to gain it's independence was in fact Egypt who did so in 1922 on the 28th of February after being under British rule. Morocco was next in line a few decades later when they rid themselves of the French on the 2nd of March 1956 and Tunisia followed suit some days later when they too shook themselves free of France on the 20th of March 1956. So there lies that myth. Ghana was in fact the 4th African nation to become independent./divdivbr //divdivNow the next thing I'd like to look into is this word 'Independent'.

AGAIN???
» In My Eyes So it's come down to a good ol' game of 3 strikes and you're out. Oh well... as they say third time's a charm. :)div class="blogger-post-footer"img width='1' height='1' src='http://res1.blogblog.com/tracker/3603534453365737072-1962531929189633371?l=inmyeyes29-3-7.blogspot.com'//div -
Err... what's all this about?
» In My Eyes Ok,
as some of you may know I am apolitical; in other words I don't believe in it, won't prescribe to it, have no interest with it and stay out of it by any means necessary. I've been hearing some funny stories though. No names mentioned (as I'm not taking sides) but one party threatening to burn down the houses of the other party and kill the family of the other presidential aspirant if things don't go their way. And now I hear that a state of emergency is to be declared!
Now REALLY people are you serious??? Just a note to all. Ghana is a nice place, it has so much going for it right now and I'd hate to see all the hard work and effort each and every Ghanaian puts in day in and day out go down the drain just so someone somewhere can prove a meaningless point.
Just in case no one has been paying attention the international media has moved on to other things, the first set of elections although free and fair were apparently pointless as they yielded no hard and fast winner and these ones seem to have turned out the same way. The only people that stand to lose if things get violent are Ghanaians. Let's take a good look at the history of turmoil in Africa, outsiders don't get involved until it's too late and the damage is already done. Ghanaians are smart, peaceful, good people and honestly I don't think there is any reason for things to get ugly. Let the votes speak for themselves and whoever came in second should just look at it as an opportunity to take stock and prepare themselves better for the next ones. It's not the end of the world, in 4 years they can try again and God knows it might work out better for them that way. God's time is always the best. Whoever wins lets all celebrate that things have been calm and peaceful and look forward to the future with hope. Your words and thoughts are powerful so use them wisely. Think positively and you'll find things will always turn out positively for you. -
