MY INDEFINITE PAIRS–The boys in the band.

"Show me a happy homosexual and I'll show you a gay corpse" 
This film was absolutely lovely, depicted art, love, drama and homosexuality, it gave insight into what could go on in a queer man's mind and the battle they fought in themselves, I think it wasn't to be watched as a collective, but individually, each viewer was not expected to watch it as whole, but the focus was on two characters at a time, each character had an indefinite pair, they related to none but one and all. 

My pair is Harold and Michael. 

I cannot decide who my favorite character is between, Harold and Micheal, they were alike and yet different, they were a match and yet they weren't.
I saw Harold as one who hated himself, and accepted that he did, he loved art and he understood that the greatest lie one could tell was the one told to oneself, he was paranoid and constantly bothered about physical appearance, but unlike most people he didn't lie about it, neither did he hide it, he accepted his hate and "ugliness" and that made him beautiful. He didn't judge, he was honest and believed what he believed no matter how ridiculous. 

Micheal on the other and was a sad, hateful person, but this doesn't mean he was bad, he was graceful and divine, how do they say it? There's beauty even in evil, he hated himself, his hairline, his sexuality, he was a hypocrite, but he was one those hypocrites you liked till they were drunk, he was hostile and had a knack for spreading his sadness towards others, although he would not accept it he cared a lot about his physical appearance and he didn't like the way he looked, he avoided his problems and pretended they didn't exist, if he doesn't identify it as a problem then  it wasn't one, but this was also hilarious, if one could chose that debts aren't problems, why couldn't he say his sexuality wasn't a problem? He couldn't love anyone cause he couldn't even love himself, he hated himself, he agreed that he was homosexual only because he couldn't change it, he didn't want to be gay, the religious part of him saw it as a sin and he saw himself as his sexuality, thus he saw himself as a sin.

They were one and yet they weren't, they shared hate, but the thin line was truth, Michael could play the game, but Harold was better.

Shouldn't her bio describe her?

Art work by Amy. The fact that Miss Okoli's bio says "I'm funny on most times on YouTube" will always bother me. Nobody asked for my opinion but this is what i think. The concept of social media is to portray yourself as perfect but here's Amy doubting herself, okay maybe she's not doubting herself but basically stating what she thinks. But how can authencity come with the word most times? Rude right? To fully portray your life how it takes both courage and wisdom, authenticity got Amy where she is now and that's one quality everyone should potray. So the A in AMY stands for Authentic. A good book goes through lots of stages, the amount of papers tossed in the trash because the writer didn't like that piece, the sentences erased because it didn't fit, from the writer to the editor, to the proof-reader and other stages it has to face to become a new york best seller and i can say if Amy's life was a book i would buy it in hard copy s...

The black child

The black Child     Over the years blacks have been subjected to bullying and downgrading by whites,they are are put down and oppressed,they are seen as low-classed and have no say in the matters of the nation,even after Late President Nelson Mandela fought against this oppression,it is yet to be eradicated completely.... It has gotten to a point in the system where blacks now engage in killing each other,few months ago South Africans engaged in the killing of other blacks, awakening the topic XENOPHOBIA.  This was really tragic and affected Nigerians greatly because a higher percentage of blacks killed were Nigerians, they not only killed them they engaged in the destroying of their properties causing chaos back in Nigeria. Nigerians wanted effective and violent retailation but His excellency President Muhammodu Buhari kicked against this and it can be said that no reliable thing was done No Form of compensation,nothing at all was done to appease the families . ...
