MY PRIVACY

My mind contains a lot of jumble words, more of which consist of   I WISH and I WANT. It is classified as my initials, it ran through my body like the blood that runs in my vein, it can be transfuse and cleanse as my blood vessel required sometimes. An example is some months ago, when I was so down that I visited a doctor and the doctor checking me requested for my parents sample and the best was transfused to mine. That tells you that the jumble words in my mind face a lot of changes from my environment like…. you need tonic… go get it.

What do you want to become in future? is one question that happened to be a greeting mode while growing up, on the way adults ask, at home parent hammer on it, in place of worship the good farer ask and then between my friends, it was on our lips to be chew anywhere we meet and that tells me that something must be so up about this future of a thing, at church, school and mosque ‘your future is at your palm’ you remember the preaching?

Future! Your coming seems to be what we are waiting for

All alike we grew to see tomorrow and you seemed to be the goal

An outline we make to succeed you when it fully blow

And then we say we have a better future

 Why future never comes where there is no décor?

Sometimes while growing, I have found myself asking somewhat if,  like… what if Mathematics could serve as my barrier of being what I want to be in future, what will happen?

I was so bad in mathematics and never gone too far with English language, when they ask and I tell them  

‘You can’t just get it! University is not a place for you, Polytechnic is the only way and your choice so good but yuck for you’’ I heard them snarled at my back.

I was born during the space-age, the news is scattered everywhere with pride

‘The Americans are there right now, they are moving to Uranus, one of the giant planets, the seventh planet from the sun; Adults mumbled as I walked freely on errands, eaves dropping at the same time with curiosity lined up in two’s of age bracket relishing the moment.

The news carried as at the time develops a sense of belonging in me, we all want to be part to success, don’t you think?

‘Oh! The scientists are great people with so bright future’ they gather around on news-stands, mosques, churches to discuss what they know and everybody seemed to know one thing or the other.

Do you still remember what you say when the greeting mode of what you want to be in future comes up?

Yes, very well, Scientist was my number one answer, vividly, I could remember what happened next when day developed to be days and a plane crashed and the story changed, it fades slowly away from the news view while I still sit expectantly waiting for the news hours to come and to the end with no tale of my almighty scientist. In my disappointment mood another thing caught my attention, the female news caster with an eloquent and fluent English language; her dressing was laced so well that she became my friend forgotten their impersonal nature and then that man in my school; the legend in my school. It was my first day in Stadium Grammar School, Ifako Ijaiye that I saw the replica of what the female and male in my television do as a profession, eagerly and gingerly they read some sheet to us on the assembly ground with microphone a bit lowered from their mouth. it was something that I fell head over in love with, going in it was not a problem of my legend, who lovingly erased the doubt of impossibility.

The discovery made me battle with myself, it generate my jumble words I don’t know where to start from, what will I tell my friend when she re ask? , what will I tell my parent and what will I tell that visitor that seems to be asking everyday what my future entails?   They will mock me for my inconsistencies, they will think that I will change again and it goes like that, it really did because what I want to be changed, it poses a lot of questions that I have to hide under one finally when I have all other so, so at the top of my mind.

None of them really tell me about passion, none of them really tell me what it takes but one thing I know is that 6334 or 5 education policy and then the outcome I cherish so much that could yield to anything you want as a profession.  If only reality make it as they preach, if only reality does not have other secret things we ought to know that is being keep away so long but I have hit one that I will like to share.

It is about one investment, one long lasting investment I stumbled over some months ago, just one investment that open doors of trillions
