WISDOM NUGGET: A BELIEF NOT CARRIED OUT IS A BRAIN BETRAYED-OBI OGBUNNA (THE RAPE OF LISISTRATA)
There are expert; there are amateurs yet there are professionals and there are quacks. There are those that are ready seeing any project into the end(Finishing line) and wishing themselves utmost success in all ramification but in a situation where there is no good equipment, expertise, knowledge or skill then their expectation may not be and it could backfires even the holy-book affirms that "if the axe is dull and its edge not-sharpened, more strength is needed but skill will bring success". And aside all what is expected of a willing soul to achieve his objective there should be nothing to hinder the "would-be" person from achieving his aim except in a situation where he lacks confidence, courage and foresight, to forge ahead. Nevertheless, if he allows his personal-gains or selfishness to overwhelm him then there is another vice that could serves as a clog in his wheel of progress because egoism, selfishness, avariciousness, greed, dereliction of duty etc are there dissuading and deluding anybody from facts, reasoning and logical analysis, the moment he thinks of himself alone and forgetting the value you have for humanity, dictates how far one goes in any business. Meanwhile, the fear to carry out a plan is as bad as paralysis of the mind and brain.
CIVIL-EYE:"MUCH GOOD WORK IS LOST FOR THE LACK OF A LITTLE MORE"
In Nigeria of today when it comes to the types of public-functionaries that exist; it is not a gain-say to depict them as two types: One is the type indifferent to the development of his area instead he amasses wealth while serving in government and grabs any opportunity that comes his way, to misappropriate money and enrich himself, to the detriment of his state and people, while the other is ready to do little and pocket any subsequent allocation that comes his way after the incipient effort, to convince his people that he is for their welfare and state development. Despite the fact that their degree of immorality and dereliction of duty is different and that the latter is better than the former yet, what is bad is bad, though, the total condemnation is for the former and instant incarceration of the bastard is compulsory, to serve as deterrence yet, we can exonerate the latter of his non-commitment to finish well, to prove his good disposition in complementing his good work therefore, in advising him we can admonish him that "MUCH GOOD WORK IS LOST FOR THE LACK OF A LITTLE MORE".
And with this above-denoted title suffice I to relay with amusement and nostalgic feeling the story of an amateur farmer in a folklore story of a Yoruba progeny nicknamed "O KO'GBA; TU'GBA KA"; this naive farmer though hardworking, who for his usual but bad habit in snuffing stuff came to take a hasty and vacuous decision of dismantling the much numbered of ridges he had made through his singular and commendable effort, but realizing that a case of his medicated-snuff must have fallen into one of the ridges; he carelessly went into dismantling them, to search for his case of his powdered-substance that he had been habitually attached to, in snuffing at an interval of his desire for it. And this is what I projected on the same spectrum of connotation, to establish the title, for this piece of article and expatiate on the lack of doggedness, commitment to a purpose or sincerity with probity and ordinary but simple grit of the farmer in finishing well what he had started well on a good note.
What do I mean?! the much good work which could be lost for the lack of a little more abuts on the negligence, dereliction of duty or even lack of determination of the farmer, to finish well hence, a man of that much commendable and significant result initially should have been conscientious, consistent and committed, to find it essential and incumbent, imperious and proper of him with sincerity of purpose to finishing well in his piece of assignment at hand; as expected of a public-functionary to whom a project is being apportioned to actualized for good. So, this he should have given an utmost priority to finish well, considering what his antagonists could have said and seized to castigate his effort and good intention, but instead giving them a loophole to criticize him and subject his initial achievement to ridicule cum nothingness as "ones enemy is not wishfully expected to kill a big fat rabbit" says an adage in Yoruba language.
So, to come back to the basics and deduce lesson from my piece, my adoption of the title was to portray the coin in both sides by representing factually the much good intention of the hardworking farmer who had proven the worth of his expertise and experience, but his much crave for the desire of the flesh could be termed as a destructive-habit (sniffing-snuff) and this is the sordid-habit that he had been clung to helplessly for long, that led to his hasty, vacuous, amateurish disposition through the effort; not to achieve well and masterfully and therefore, becoming a disappointment to himself and his people.
However, the lesson from it is for our public-functionaries and leaders in the corridor of power, to always be committed to giving priority to finishing well, in their call to serve or service to their people and responsibilities to their fatherland since, "We cannot escape history, we all will be remembered in-spite of ourselves" courtesy of Abraham Lincoln valuable provision.

COM-DEE ALUMINIUM CONSTRUCTION COMPANY LEADS WITH NEW INNOVATION IN CONSTRUCTION.
Com-Dee is an aluminium construction company located closely to Iyana Ogbere Ti O ya junction beside a petrol station, along Aperin/Olorunsogo/Akanran Road.
The Director of the company; Dele Adewale; a trained teacher had been in this kind of bussiness for some years ago and with the experience through this job, he has been blessed with the right expertise, knowledge and adequate skill, at making creatively some special but new innovation in window forms, doors designs, collapsible architectural designs of various kinds, that complement the beauty of monumental edifices, mobile stationary and non stationary stands etc.
However, his age-long commitment to the job with adequate result to prove him right, hardworking and successfully established, with personal house, cars and grounded property had endeared the minds of some purposeful parents and guardians in releasing their children and wards to him respectively as apprentices under his tutelage. And through this, he has graduated more than hundred sets/batches of fully fledged trained and totally capable professional, in using alluminium for various creativity and construction, standing on their own, as completely self-employed entrepreneurs, successfully flourishing and thriving in their businesses, also as employers of lab-our, which is evidently corroborating the fact that vocational-skills is imperatively supportive, to make life bearable, objectively productive and profitable, to the youth trained in other areas of professional fields

OTUNBA KUNLE KAREEM ADVISES THE YOUTH TO BE PURPOSEFULLY PATIENT AND KNOW THAT LIFE IS GENERATIONAL
Otunba Kunle Kareem at a Chieftaincy titles conferment event inside Olubadan of Ibadan Oba Saliu Adetunji 'Ogunguniso 1 palace on the 19th of December, 2016 advised the youth to be purposeful in life by finding something legitimate to do, since time waits for no man, while they allow patience to be their watchword, which after much effort with purposefulness and patience; it is certain they achieve some of their aims and objectives in life, in becoming relevant and responsible in life.
The youthful, amiable and frank- minded young Chief advocated that since life is generational; one needs to know that life is in phases; problems are in sizes. And that turn by turn is what nature accommodates in promotional development hence, nobody should be in a hurry to accede to any position or believing the old people who are in important positions in life now should vacate their positions for the youth to occupy. Here he justified that the experience, exposure and intelligence of the elders that serves as the sin-qua-non to handling matters well and directing affairs effectively is rare to come by and that; it is the only worthwhile ingredient to managing any position proficiently well, for the good of all and sundry. He therefore, emphasized that with time, all expectation of the people of Ibadan-land to have Ibadan state like that of the people of other states to have some newly created states within their states in Nigeria would be actualized, while he admonished the newly conferred chiefs to make sure they use their position for the good, development of the people and land.

CIVIL-EYE: Celebrating Christmas; Contemplating Compatibility
"For God so loved the world that HE gaveth HIS only begotten son that whosoever believeth in HIM shall not perish but have eternal (everlasting) life".
Now to get down to the analysis of this above stated quotation from the bible while I should be careful not to be criticized nor crucified; for being one-sided but to infer the fact and gospel truth from this quotation. Here I started thus that God in HIS infinite mercy had shown that "HE" so loved the world.............," , 'So' here, serves as a modifier of 'loved' which is the verb hence 'So' is a modifier of the verb; which is the 'loved', meaning God 'very' loved the world.... therefore, 'so' or 'very' is to heighten, strengthen or deepen the love God has for mankind, before releasing or giving out HIS 'only' son .......". And here also showed that God intentionally 'deprived' HIMSELF to improve mankind, hmm what a great loss and love from God!. And 'whosoever' (regardless of anybody's status: poor, rich,wicked, good,dirty, clean etc) "believeth" (unflinching conviction that he came and died for us; as a covenant son of God, to redeem mankind from sin) "in HIM will not perish but have eternal life(will have blissful, everlasting, ad-infinitude, non stop-joy, happiness from life to death) then that means there will be no difference between life and death but "trance-like-joy", happiness of good in all ramification. And thus this is to explain better then that "Life is pleasant, death is peaceful (but with God's love it would be peace-plus) but only transition that could be troublesome (since death comes with an excuse) yet with God's love; there's no pain.
By and Large, Love shown by God by giving out HIS only begotten son.....(this promising us eternal life by believing in HIM is unquantifiable,not-comprehensible and inexhaustible hence HE admonished that "be you whatever without love; you are nothing"!.
However, this love is what is missing within family-members, group of people, comity of nations that has led to chaos, callousness, rivalry, war, corruption, crime, and other vices of the type. But by bringing Love back to our fold, midst and society, surely I know we shall make the world a better place to living. And this is only message (topic-sentence) the quotation is emphasizing upon that Love plus Living is equal to Eternal Life, so believing in Jesus Christ; the only God's begotten son changes man better for good; to "Love is neighbour as himself". I'm talking of Agape-Love but not Lewd-Love so Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2017 in advance.

CIVIL-EYE:NATIONAL ASSEMBLY; NATIONAL AFFAIR
Legislators' duties and roles are very tasking and it is no less than herculean task hence, the status in which they find themselves is very demanding; considering daily brain storming, deliberation, meeting upon meeting, thinking upon thinking, with the anxiety not to fail oneself, members, the nation and her people from each honourable's constituency. And with all these and many more responsibilities placed upon these members of both House of Senate and House of Representatives (Bicameral), I think they need to be commended on this phase of their exitence representing their major and different constituencies and citizenry of the nation.
But man as being unpredictable and susceptible to abnormality and unusual acts led to the constitutional creation of Chief-Whip's office, Minority Leader's office, Majority Leader's office, Speaker's office and Chairmen of different committees to delineate roles, responsibilities, reservation and respect. Hence, Speaker is accorded his respect whenever a motion or bill is about to be presented to the whole house, with the Speaker on seat, or even in the absentia or where the Deputy Speaker is not around, their seats are respected as the respect they are supposed to be accorded. And this is how the variance in respect is shown regarding all the offices earlier mentioned above.
However, if a speaker is around then there is no reason why other members representing their constituencies should not and in a situation where they are absent (Since body no be wood and that it is compulsory to go on respite, for them to recover from the lost energy, to keep their body cool, calm and collective, for the blood-pressure to come back to normalcy)it should be made officially known to the relevant office to be noted.
Meanwhile, if a student should be indictable for truancy from his class( hence the higher institutions, religious bodies, companies believe in availability and attendance) then there is no reason why an erring member of the "House" should not be questioned at least, the reason why he is a member is to represent adequately the interest of his people and if a man's hair cannot be barbered or shaved behind him then; their presence matter a lot in the "House" always.
And don't forget if a scholar is accounted to be the contract, the teacher is the contractor and that the parent is the client then the Speaker is assumed to be the contractor representing the nation through the government, the members are the contracts representing their people while the people of each constituency are said to be clients.
Therefore,in order not to make the mess of the whole contract then the tripartite people concerned need to be up and doing, to see our national affairs taken seriously, for adequate success and progress through adequate representation, contribution and deliberation, for a good course to conclusion.
This I presumed I should call our honourable attention to, in the justification of their sacred duty to the whole people of the nation yet, I hereby humbly express my appreciation in the acknowledgement of their roles and responsibilities, to make things work for better since, the "HOUSE" is the engine of any nation. And if "Charity should begin at home"; here I bid them a word of thank you, well done and God bless, while we are all watching your performance and believing you end well.
