NOBODY IS UGLY; NO NATION IS UGLY .

                                        NOBODY IS UGLY; NO NATION IS UGLY

Peace be to you
To borrow a leaf from the hit song of P Square brothers titled “Nobody ugly”, as a stark reminder to all of us about our innate beauty, that beauty is not in the face but a light in our hearts and that when we begin to learn a new way to think that contributes positively to the world, our beauty radiates and shines.
I love this quote, that “if an egg is broken by outside forces, life ends. If it is broken by inside force, life begins. Great things always begins from the inside” only when we realize that nobody is ugly. When people begin to see how beautiful your heart is, only then will it be difficult for them to leave you because together with you they can create a future of melody, harmony and beauty. When your heart is beautiful, you have been saved to save others, blessed to bless others and empowered to empower others.
As musicians, more “food of love”, as doctors, we will heal, as economist and business men, we will reduce poverty, as administrators, we will not be vindictive with our positions, as public or civil servants, we will serve with our hearts, as politicians, we will play politics without bitterness but with principle.
Our beauty can glow more as a nation when we choose to tell ourselves the truth and properly define the terms of our nationhood. When we pontificate that the unity of Nigeria is non-negotiable, we are giving room for the evil of tyranny. Societies evolve and in the evolutionary process, resolutions are passed, summits are organized, political settlements reached, civil society contributions made, international gathering organized, consultations made, conferences held and diplomatic initiatives also comes to play. This is how seeds of peace are sown and not by grandstanding of some political leaders.
Nigeria is a beautiful bride named "sexybootilicious twister" by P Square brothers, and that is why the actors in the Nigerian system are making sure that it remains raped by their actions and inaction. They should be aware that the” game of peace is bigger than the teams of war”, those supporters clubs of war, change the drumbeats of your gyration.
The P Square Brothers almost broke apart but when they realized that together they are beautifully made they gave us another hit track “NOBODY UGLY” to provide more “food of love"  because "music is the language of the soul" .

To heal a fractured Nigeria, our hearts must be beautiful enough to say yes to whom we are and have the courage to say no to whom we are not. The courage to keep dialoguing and taking positive actions as a nation on the way to “promised land” of peace is sacrosanct.
When we have the courage to say no to whom we are not,  the name on "insta"  as the P Square Brothers sang  will now change from “sexybootilicious twister” nation to “Nwanyi obi oma na edozi ulo ya” (A woman of pure heart that builds her home) without twisting or continuously raping any section of the nation in to coma.
 
Fellow Nigerians, let's keep building where we can call a home together.
Peace be with you

RESIST ARREST

                                                        RESIST ARREST                                                   CHIBU NDUBUISI 08/2017 Peace be to you. To resist anything requires knowledge and courage not to give in or yield to antics of entanglement. Captivity stifles and limits.  Captivity is not only when you are holed up in a physical place, it is more than that.  Some have developed  life patterns that resist unhealthy, unproductive and needless distractions which stares at us on a daily basis, by the choices they made, they resisted arrest. while some just flow with the current passively and are arrested by ldeas that have fractured the world.  Eighty two(82) Chibok girls were released from captivity by Boko Haram terrorist organisation in a prisoner swap deal yesterday(7/5/2017). The negotiating teams had a noble obligation of  making sure that no matter the provocations, human life matters.   That human life must be protected and provided for at all cost. They

                                                                                      Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope                                           07/08/2017 By Chibu Ndubuisi Peace be with you. In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa". The story of Africa is not about hunger,poverty, famine,war,  corruption,  tyranny, dictatorship,  terrorism,  child marriage,  genitial mutiliation, unfavourable inheritance laws for women, advance fee fraud, kidnapping,  ineffectual bureaucracy,  failure of leadership, workers not paid their salaries, sexual offences against children, genocide,  poor infrastructures,  diseases etc.i want to present a narrative of work in progress in African countries and how hope is been given back to people who once had "paradise lost". In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE.   (1) C (2018)                     CHIBU NDUBUISI                           02/04/2018     WEEK 14 “Be careful what you pray for because you may get it and regret”              Peace be upon you. As part of the electioneering jingle repertoire of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, who kicked off his campaign by waxing philosophical in 2003, by posing two questions to the electorate, he asked; are we Cursed or are we the Curse in Anambra state? Taking into account the plunder and pillage the state has been subjected to by political gladiators with the connections to abduct a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige) and the support of the central government.   For many months, teachers were not paid their salaries during the era of Mbadiniju, who turned from an elected Governor to elected evangelist; he absconded and displayed negligence of the duty of statecraft of fashioning good policies, to declarin
