HAPPY BIRTHDAY NONSO

Let me take some minutes out to appreciate this icon, this wonderful personality, die hard Chelsea fan, a friend, a source of motivation, crazy guy, idea bank, poet, his choice of words still amaze me.

As much as I would have wanted him on my team I know He is making waves in his works and I am proud to have him as friend. As you clock a year older today what more can I wish for you but good, enjoy your day my yoruba Igbo brother Abejegah Chinonso Femi. 

Let me just drop one of his poems here, this is on leadership 

Made to master 


Moses stammered ; but had a rod 
His peregrinations gave us the Decalogue 
EMPATHY, indescribable in our eye sockets 
Made Mother Theresa resolve to pull the plug 


I would sit on the fence if it's strong enough 
But Mandela found unflinching faith in profound fear 
Mahatma relished his tears as rain for the crops 
Warring not because he wanted his corn-science clear


Martin Jnr saw the promised land in his dream, 
Slam-brake the sheer bias of the spangled banner.
And Malcolm x decided to be part of the movement,
Albeit scarred by his father's  gruesome murder.


With flaws dispelled, faults eased and fears allayed.
While all else LOOKED, these ones could SEE.
Buoying me to make the future words read,
"THE SEVENTH LEADER WAS ME"
