of role models and inspiration

okay, so i've been asked more than once in the past week, what email address my readers can use to reach me. i perfectly appreciate that one or two blog posts may be off the mark and you may not want to say that in the comment section and would rather drop me a silent line on your thoughts. so, being the democratic believer (having seen what happened to mubarak et al), i have decided to create a dedicated email account to this blog:

simplyoroquesview@gmail.com

and i hope to get an avalanche of mails...but those who know me beyond the blog, drop me lines all the time and ask me weird questions like the one below:

"when you write with dripping sarcasm and unpopular opinion, are you inspired by any persons living or dead?"

what i'd really like to say in response to that would be: "now look here missy, you really need to get your blood pressure checked or some other random stuff that will keep you the heck busy. i mean like seriously? you actually sat down and coined that one up? wow, you give the word 'boredom' a new definition..." etc. however, like hillary clinton, i'll keep my fake smile plastered on my face irregardless of my personal thoughts, give my most endearing fake laugh, pretend like its a question on advanced physics and actually attempt to give a real answer.

and so, yes i am inspired by people but they are are neither living nor dead. they're actually incapable of living or dying and so maybe i shouldn't call them people, but lets stick to the script shall we? [insert fake laugh here]. i am most influenced by the 3 characters immediately below and anyone who has had the misfortune of encountering these three would agree that they are the epitome of rude ill-mannered unconventional lazy sarcastic things to walk the face of the earth...and to impact it the most. the shock factor that they bring has made them unmissable and the inconvenient truth that they utter would make Al Gore look like a cheap chinese plagiarist.

 

there you go! admittedly, i have a bias for eric cartman because he swears like a sailor and taught me how to use "Gaddamnit" so fluently. so yeah, i hope that clears the air for you my dearest reader and please dont hesitate to ask me virtually anything. as always, i cannot guarantee that you will like the response but in the words of eric cartman "its a gaddamn world for the hippies", so hey.

see y'all around peeps.

Of #MoreThanPlatitudes

Look at this picture. That's one of the children being rescued from a collapsed school building in Lagos, Nigeria. You don't have a be a parent and I won't pander to your better instincts. Tell me this is acceptable or should be allowed to occur again. The President sent condolence messages and the Governor visited the site then said the state emergency services will do all they can cliched response. the end. and people moved on. The heartbreaking pictures of the children pulled out half dazed with cement dust all over their little noses (Exhibit A) did not let me sleep last night. I have gone to drop a comment on the governor's pages on all social media platforms that we need #MoreThanPlatitudes 🚫❌ We need to hear what policy changes are triggered by the death of these babies. The Commissioner of Education must address Lagosians and set up a project team with the Commissioner for Works or Town Planning etc to undertake an immediate structural integrity test

of #BalanceForBetter

With the global movement shifting women forward, making them outspoken and addressing negative patriarchal activities that have gone on for decades...it has been a great year for moving women forward. The concept of gender equality is now universally accepted and even religious leaders have come to openly embrace the concept as not being against godly teachings. The place of the woman is now everywhere, no more is her definition of success measured by the ability to be submissive to a man or to cook and iron and clean. And although feminism is still under attack in half the world where conservative traditional way of life still holds sway, there has been immense improvement in female child education, reduction of female genital mutilation, plus girl child marriage and trafficking is being fought head on. It is a great time to be a woman. This year, companies and corporate organizations around the world are making a conscious effort to balance the pay gap in the workplace. When H
