Flower Principle: POTENTIAL

Imagine that you did not know about the reproductive process of flowering plants. If I plucked the flower of a mango tree and brought it to you and then took you to a full-grown mango tree. If then I told you that the mango tree that you see is contained within that flower and that the mango tree comes from a flower like that, you would most likely disbelieve me.

No matter how drab or colorful, big or small a flower is, it can produce a plant that will have every single component on the one you see complete! It will have a stem, a root, leaves and flowers complete. That is the potential of the flower, what it can become. The purpose is to reproduce the plant, but potential is found in the seemingly insignificant things within the flower that ultimately enable it fulfill that purpose. Since the purpose of each flower is different, the potential within them is different. Some need sticky pollen, others large, colorful petals and others still small spiky petals.

Within every individual lies the potential to fulfill purpose. It may look unlikely that you are the one are to achieve those things you identified, but don’t you dare disbelieve your purpose. The thing about potential is that it cannot be seen and valued by the vast majority of people until you have worked it into becoming that which you dreamt. It takes people who have rightly positioned their minds and have discovered their purpose to see potential. Like the flower, the smallest of things can become the greatest of all. Don’t look to those who tell you that your purpose is a bar set too high for somebody like you. Remember that without the benefit of hindsight, no one would believe that every tree started as a single flower on some other tree. Yu can achieve purpose, no matter how small potential might look. Don’t become envious of those with different or bigger looking potentials. Differences in potential only mean differences in purpose, not licenses to limitations.

On your own,lol

Ain't this a lil too early?

A Suicidal guy holds Public Defenders Hostage

A man who identified himself as Victor Agboye inflicted severe injuries on himself while holding hostage officials of the Office of the Public Defender (OPD) for about four hours on Monday.

Mr. Agboye, who is believed to be in his late twenties, is demanding an urgent government intervention to forestall alleged cruel treatment meted on him and his siblings by his elder sister, Queen Agboye.

As explained by Omotola Rotimi, the Director of the agency, who explained the incident to journalists in her office at Motorways building, Ikeja, Victor complained about how his sister had allegedly refused to share the N38m fortune left behind by their late mother.

“He claimed to now live on the street, even when their grandmother tried to mediate, Mr. Agboye claimed that his sister killed her and threw her into the Lagoon,” she said.

Mr. Agboye was at the agency on Monday because he and Queen had been invited with a view to resolve the family rancour. Also, Mrs. Rotimi had also invited the Police and the psychiatric department of the State’s ministry of youth and sports because “the boy [Victor] was saying many incoherent things. It’s a psychiatric case.”

Going manic

However, Victor, who got to the OPD’s office as early as 9am, became violent when it was clear that his sister will not come. He brought out a razor and a pair of scissors and started slicing his arm.

“He started shouting, threatening to kill himself. He held us hostage, till about 2pm when some people were able to disarm him. Our office was a pool of blood today,” she said.

Meanwhile, some of the officials had resort to jumping out of a window to escape for their lives.

I’ll be back

Victor was then taken to the Alausa’s Task Force office where he showed he had another card up his sleeves.

The supposedly sedated Mr. Agboye had another pair of scissors hidden away in his trouser and threatened to kill himself should anybody move towards him.

Several people gathered watching helplessly as he raised the black T-shirt he was wearing and started slicing away at his belly. He was shouting that the sister should give him some money, “even if it is a hundred thousand naira.”

Finally, he went away on a motorcycle threatening to come back. He also accused the police of aiding his sister to deny him of their mother’s inheritance.

Police complicity

Mrs. Rotimi said she received a call from the office of the commissioner of Police, Marvel Akpoyibo on Monday morning, saying that Ms. Agboye is in their custody and that the department should drop the case. The call, however, came after she had called Ms. Agboye to appear before the OPD since she reported the case first.

“If she [Queen] had been here this morning, it wouldn’t have turned out this way,” she said.

Mrs. Rotimi said the police authority’s call to the department hinted at Mr. Agboye’s claims.

“If she [Queen] had been here this morning, it wouldn’t have tuned out this way,” said Mrs. Rotimi who was obviously furious that Mr. Agboye was allowed to escape. That boy is not good on our streets because he is not psychologically fit. He can harm the public,” she said.

Mr. Agboye’s escape also mean he can make good his threat to hit back at the officials of the OPD and Mrs Rotimi has called for security officers to be drafted to the office. Meanwhile, visitors were scrutinized before they are allowed into the office.

The Lagos state commissioner of Police (CP), Marvel Akpoyibo, when contacted on phone said Mr. Agboye “has a right to kill himself.”

When asked about the allegation that the police is hiding Mr. Agboye’s sister, the CP said “[you mean] the sister he wanted to kill? Please, there are more important things to be done.”

This Fuel Situation; sic!

I am tired of this fuel situation o. I am buying fuel at over double the official pump price and my income is has not anywhere near doubled.

An no one up there is saying anything about it. I am ashamed at times to say we are producing oil in Naija, cos the world just laughs at us. Haba! This is all you see everywhere now. Anywhere there is a filling station is a nightmare to pass now cos of the kind of traffic that will be caused by people trying to buy fuel, from Awolowo to Festac to Ikeja, everywhere.

Maybe when we are unable to go to work because we cant afford to buy fuel again, the level of seriousness of this thing will become evident.

Nigerians, when do we get to the point when we make our number count to these our leaders sef. over 180million of us, I'm sure we can apply pressure, countries with less people have done it.

Jos Continues to Burn

There's now a 24hour curfew in Jos. People are still fighting. Jos, oh Jos! Why have you become like this?

Now we understand the source of all the free madness. Just hope it doesn't turn into real madness o. Take am easy.
