The Internal Monologue

It Will Take Whatever It Wants. The price is always different, mainly because of our virtues, cultures, DNA, religions, and simple basic behaviours. For example, what it cost me to get a BIng didn't cost some of my mates/peers. Those who were in a class with me knew there was a guy who used to come to class with a blue cooler box full of goodies. He was the best 1st year Engineering student, and I think he later got the degree with Cum Laude. Me! I had a lot of non-school-related issues to manage, e.g., cooking, making new friends, and other village-to-city adaptations. But in the end, we all got BIng degrees after paying incurring different costs. To get where you want to go, it will cost you whatever it wants. You have to pay the price that is on your quote/bill. We are all dealt different hands by nature. It is just that it tends to take more than you initially imagined, and even more the older we get. There's just too much stuff to lose as we become risk-averse. Changing co...

Wakanda Forever - Nothing to Go Back to. Let's take a moment and reflect, Wakanda is real and it's forever. First and foremost, the death of Okonkwo will forever haunt Africans. The illiterate will be haunted even if they don't know about his tragic death.  Why are some of our African kings coronated by the representatives of the colonial masters? Okay,  African kings were abducted and shipped to Europe to be humiliated, and others simply vanished. Assassinations continued to the modern world, for instance, the assissination of 20th-Century African leaders such as Malcohm X, Thomas Sankara,  , Patrice Lumumba,  Steve Biko, Dr Martin Luther King, and the list goes on. These were great leaders that I don't think we will ever have anytime soon. They were a great hope of Great Africa. These deaths have changed the course of an African's life anywhere in the world. Ethiopians fought and won the Battle of Adwa. At that time the spirit of Mother Africa arose. Will we ever ...

The Randomness of Life and Responsibility Speaking in evolutionary terms, the fact that life exists on earth results from random processes. Even Darwinian evolution does not comfort me in its explanation of the origin of life. So it is said that were started as a single-cell organism in Africa, and that cell multiplied, and we became multicellular. Ok, on the cosmology side, they say we are in the Goldilocks zone where the parameters are just right for life on earth. So much seems to have happened by chance in the zillions. If Darwinian evolution is perfect, where are all the other species, like humans who look like you and me but don't have an appendix? The human cell is complicated enough, and the DNA makes matters worse since it contains the code of life. It all reeks of some form of intelligent design than darwin's theory of evolution. On another note, there are more than 100 million Spermatozoa per ej, which means that you are one in zillions. The idea that you made it to ...
