Moment earlier, after a marathon journey down to my apartment. Someone, rushed to me, hurriedly, and stopped me. Trying to have some words with me at my discomfort, but I couldn't resist.
It was a long story but what makes it unique will be told in brief.
'I've examined you entirely; personal life and human relationship', He said.
I was amazed with a deep shocked. Oh! Really? I replied.
Suddenly, he interjected the amusement with a recommendations whose tidings I never planned for.
"After my examinations, I got to know that your entire life is based on capitalism, I mean you're a capitalist", He added.
I was pissed off. I was about to roll up my sleeves and fight, but I resigned and changed my mind. Because I realized that every pool can do that, and I want to be above that.
I forced a fake smiles, and replied to him in a typical and diplomatic manner, 'of course yes, I'm a capitalist and profit is my motive'. Do you have a problem with that? I asked.
He nodded and walk away shamelessly, without uttering a single word, neither turning back to look at me.

Put down the swords into rough shares
Put down the swords into rough-shares
I received a call from the home of our making that i lost friends and a friend of friends over the recent incident In jos and other areas. Tears dropped from my eyes.
I was about to roll up my sleeves and fight back, but I resigned and changed my mind. I realised that any fool can do that, and I want to be above fool. I changed the hostilities into friendliness.
I don't want to exaggerate the issue and promote hatred, but the number of the death-roll were too numerous to mention. Above all, it's what it's, it was what it was, and what happened had happened.
Able bodies of individual who could have been very productive were sent to their earlier graves. Perhaps, this people would have contributed their best towards the development and the progress of the state.
Not only that, many properties were destroyed. Interestingly, Plateau has been so fortunate to never lost a leader or a great politician during each clashed.
Sadly enough, the land that we fought, fight over and over is the same land that we wet with our bloods and buried our own soul inside. Be soft. Even the mountains are soft. They springs us water sometimes. Be calm. Even the lions are not scary all the time. They are friendly, sometimes.
I learnt from our fathers that theirs was better than this. Theirs was peace and harmony. For that I said NO to retaliation. Let's live with example.
I'm down on my knees urging my people not to retaliate, let's give peace a chance to reign. Together we make our home a great.
The days and years to come will not be the same without my people- but they will be good days, filled with life and love, because of the example they lived for us.
The soul that we lost to the cruel hands of death may they rest in perfect peace, for the families who had the lost; may God grant them the fortitude to bear the lost.
( Ai anshamu tun muna 'yan yara kanana, kuma mun warke.) please say NO to retaliation, let's shun the violence and harmonise each other.

Fly off the handle
Fly off the handle.
I do love nothing in the world so well as you- is not that strange?
You don't know if they are using your good spirit and good energy to get over an old flame that once burned them.
Dating is so hard because so many people are afraid to be transparent with how they feel and what they truly want out of the next person.
We project and say that we want all these things, but in the end some of us really don't. Building a bond and a relationship with someone takes an extreme amount of work.
You can't take days off when you are in a relationship. Everyday has to be geared towards growing stronger as a couple.
You meet so many people today that don't understand that concept. You meet so many people today that just want to waste your time.
It would be nice to meet someone without having hidden motives for a change. It would be nice to meet someone you can talk to and forget how much time has passed.
It would be nice to meet someone who is tired of getting hurt and tired of getting it wrong just like you, and wants to get it right with someone special one day.
Never whisper the words of love if the feeling is not true. Never share your feelings if you mean to break the heart. Never look into my eyes iffy all you have to do is lie, and never say hello iffy you really mean goodbye.
Butterflies of sadness
The butterflies of sadness.
Indeed, death does not come when we plan for it. It's an uninvited guest, and when ever it comes we have no control over it. It takes anyone it wants, especially the good ones.
When thing goes the same way forever, it's not life. Different things must happen, the good, and the bad. We have no choice than to accept our fate. If Lucky was enough.
Dying has nothing to do with ageing, good wealth or ill health.
Dying is a process called Death thus; it's just like every-other Debt. It comes without knocking, and does not deserves mocking.
From the day you arrived this world, Death has prepared your Debt Sword.
Jafar Muhammad Danmande has paid his own debt, and gone to rest. Indeed, it's a long journey, lemme hold my crashing tears, till we meet in the nearest years. Though, the tears never dry from the wet heart.
If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you back home.
Jafar was the only kid brother I had, and I lost him to the cruel hands of death on Tuesday morning 09/10/2018, which I call the 'tears day'. It's true we don't know what we've got until its gone.
While we're mourning the loss of our brother, others are rejoicing to meet him behind the veil.
I have lived long to outgrown clothes, in the constant image of my own face, I have witnessed rays of newborn sun, in the grave attention of my own eyes.
I have seen the demise of my own soul, seemingly panting, like the heart of a virgin bride, but on the tip of my parched tongue, I have commanded my pen to ask, how easy is it to die?
If dying is to cease living, a hungry man might have no code, but surely he's got only one hope, the hope of death, to sweep his debt.
like the hunter that passed on, he left his poverty to his own gun.
what about my little brother? the poor boy who died over a day sick,
he left his unforgettable memories to the home and the family.
Jafar, simple sweet he is. He was a good boy, smart and intelligent. A fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. Sometimes stubborn for my likings. The one l liked the most, but death do us apart. The one I bullied under any circumstances, the one I beat for no reason.
A dark gloom days has passed, the butterflies of sadness Hoover in millions, and the pond of tears never dry. The sweet memories are still fresh, and they will always be. Though, everything remains joyless.
Jafar, was used to knocked on my door every morning for school rid. That was what I hated the most. We had to fight everyday before I drove him to school. Now, he has gone. I wish he'll come back someday just to knock on my door, if it's necessitate let him break down the door. I wouldn't mind.
I remembered, the last time I drove him to school, I bullied him well, he was just laughing at me with enthusiasm. I can see the smiling face which had never fade. This little boy has touched our heart, mind and soul. We'll always count you in our daily prayers.
The days and years to come will not be the same without my brother, but they will be good days, filled with life and love, because of the example he lived for us.
Dear death, if you want to take someone's soul from my family, please take mine first. Thanks.
“Death comes, and makes a man his prey,
A man whose powers are yet unspent;
Like one on gathering flowers intent,
Whose thoughts are turned another way.
Begin betimes to practise good,
Lest fate surprise thee
unawares
Amid thy round of schemes and cares;
To-morrow’s task to-day conclude.*
Mahābhārata.”
Excerpt From: William Alexander Clouston. “Book of Wise Sayings.”
Oh Allah!
Make Jafar's death better than his live,
Make his grave better than his house,
And make jannatul Firdausi his final destination. Ameen Ya Rabbi.

The girl called Meenoh
The girl called Meenoh.
Breezes passed by like a cloudy
The story started on a faithful morning. She was the first person I met. First person I knew. And the only One I liked. In a particular.
Wind sprinkled mind and wiped away sorrows.
Rain falls down and cleaned out worries.
Terrific flood hits heart whirlwind glanced healed wounds.
For off a face visage sat down under a tree little drawn was largeness think in paradise sawn.
vowed nothing greatness will attention drawn.
Cold soared like a kite
Snow dropped by like a rain
Birds sang so sweet like a melody
She looked so lonely. I looked so humble. We met by a destiny. On a the same version. Those memories were unforgettable.
She sat all alone. Under trees, under cold. The trees were soft. They springs water on her. I felt pity for her. And I liked her at first sight for the patience and for endurance. She earned my respect immediately, at first sight. And forever. Because she was strong.
I greeted her( as gentle man), I learnt that we were all there for the same purposes. I thank God for that, for she was a real.
We walked together towards the Deen's office for why we were there.
I should be a mighty proud for walking with a golden lady, with a pure heart like her. For that, I recognized myself as a fortunate person than anyone could be.
I enjoyed every single second of that moment.
I read her like a magazine and I saw my future in her eyes. I had faith in what I saw.
I loved every piece of her, from her head to her toes. She reminded me of my past. I loved her name the most. She shared the same name with the most important person in my universe. My mom.
I wished we could stay for a longer time, and know each other more. But, alas we achieved what brought us together. I knew that we would still meet again soon. I guarantee it. And it happened.
School resumed:
We kept behind closed doors, and every time I see her, I die little more. It was obvious that she is meant for me. Every piece of her just fits in so perfectly.
Every second, every thought, every time, I'm in so deep. But I never show on my face. Whenever I'm with her, I'm lost of words.
We can see for forever not a cloud in the sky
Picture perfect weather everyday of our lives
Just imagine if everything she wanted came true
Well it happened to me so it can happen to her,
We were on a journey of truth and belief is the key
So open up your heart and let your life free.
The more I know her, the more I got to know that she have a problem. I love being around crazy people, and I like her madness the most. She possessed them all. And, those kept me stocked with her.
The more I wanted to get close to her, the more I felt avoided. It hurts this fragile heart so badly. Life choices, this heart chose her. Just her. Little angel.
I can walk miles to the edge of the universe for her angel, I will cross Oceans for her, I will walk barefooted for her, under grasses, under nails, and irons. When goodbye doesn't work, You could lay your hands on my shoulder.
Whenever the game is about to finish
And we are losing, and no any fan to cheer up with panicked not, I will rewind the time and be the Ronaldo
of your arena, and I will dedicate my championship crown to you.
Self crirism
The power of self criticism
Reason was lost, so were facts. The harder I argued the more arrogant he became. I quickly resigned, and admitted that i was wrong without any emphatically.
I'm in for it. I knew it. You caught me red handed. I have no any jurisdiction to argue or to defend myself. I said.
I must be very stupid for violating the rules and crossing my limits. You have all the rights to arrest me. You can take me to any court of law and the jury will decide on what to do with me. I added.
Young man look, you...I hurriedly interrupted him. You warned me severally not to violate the rules but I turned to deaf ears. I stubbornly reluctant to accept the ways and the rules. I said.
I lost the right to apologize for what I did. You can take me to your office and punish me for my mistakes. For that it will teach me a lesson. I added.
Now listen. You seriously violated the rules, but you can... I interrupted him again. I admired your work. I get my experience only from books, and you get your own experience everyday on a life line situations. I wish I had a job like you. I meant everything I said.
He stopped for seconds and start to tell me about his work experienced for 32 years of service. The places he worked, how he caught offenders, and dealt with them.
He continued to tell me about his likes and dislikes, what he liked the most about his job, and Also about his family.
I was bewildered on how he suddenly changed from a hard-boiled to a softhearted. He also changed the topic of our discussion thoroughly to his biography.
He continued. If people are like you, can admit their wrong quickly, and without emphatically. We wouldn't have been dragging people to court every week.
The townspeople defiled our work. Thank GOD. People like you can understand how good our work is.
You reminded me about my dearest late friend. He appreciate good things, with a sincere appreciation, just like you.
You appreciate good things. You are freeman. You can go. He said.
