of updates and full circles

as i've explained somewhere before now, the older you grow, the more unwilling you are to share the events of your life with the world. not only because you are wiser and less likely to hurt the feelings of others, but that everyone who knows you personally, seem to know someone else who you know personally...and can identify people you write about even where you hide the identity. if that just made sense to you, then you're either a blogger or should be one.

so, for the first time in a long time, i have no apologies for not writing my blog for a while. i really cannot be sorry because the same reasoning that has created this delay is ongoing. my life is going great, i'm at peace all around and there is really no source of emotional upswing from which to write. i've grown bored with politics, i'm sick of watching all the things i thought impossible actually happen (think syria and libya) and frankly, everything just seems to have come full circle.

okay, they're repairing third mainland bridge, yes they've done that before. yes, obama is running another bitter campaign, yes i've seen that too before. yes, the bribery scandal between otedola and lawan has finally left the headlines, yes, we have seen it all before. at this point i'm guessing its age, cos at a certain point in your life, nothing can possibly shock you. or so i think. i guess having said that, there is nothing to write about except myself. and thats suddenly off limits. so exactly what is going on?

other than *my amazing new nephew (who, like me, does nothing other than eat sleep and demand attention), **the appointment of the first female chief justice of nigeria, ***the grounding of three major airlines (air nigeria, chanchangi and dana), ****the elevation of the first lady to the position of permanent secretary in bayelsa state - for ALL her hard work and punctuality in the civil service over the years (riiiiiiight), and *the fact that i now eat real food - like eba and soup etc - dont ask how/why...nothing at all has happened. the bombings in the north haven't ended, boko haram has reportedly demanded that we all become muslims or die like the infidels we are, the electricity situation remains exactly the same and the president is still as active as a tuber of yam lying on the floor. [::yawn::]

trust me, when anything significant happens, i will let you know. see y'all around peeps.

P.S: madam Patience is now permanent secretary? really? the end.

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

moved to wordpress - https://simplyoroquesview.blog/

Dear Reader, It appears blogger.com is on its way out. It will always be my first intro to blogging and holds a special place in my heart. However I cannot run two blog sites at once and have to move away from here permanently. My new site is: https://simplyoroquesview.blog/ This will stay up as long as possible but with no further blog posts or updates. See you at my new site! RQ

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
