The True Freedom Experience


Freedom is costly, expensive and extremely demanding on the part of its seeker. I used to believe that it is one of those blank cheques that life offers, now it is more apparent that nothing is free and indeed, nothing goes for nothing. It is a rule of nature that we must give something in exchange for what we desire, do not have, or aspire to become. In our quest for freedom, it is important that we clearly define our goals, targets or aspirations. Stating our goals clearly from the start keeps us in the right loop and mental frameworks towards achieving them. How do we describe freedom? There are many perspectives, dimensions and views to freedom. It ranges from the rapidly evolving naive mind of a child that is devoid of worries to adolescents and middle-class office workers drowning in negative social vices downtown.  
My perspective on true freedom is that of being fulfilled and accomplished. Being fulfilled in any area of interest is the real freedom. In our secular society today, policymakers tend to stealthily take away societal freedom and fundamental human rights through policies that only serve very few. This has significantly made it difficult to achieve true freedom with minimal efforts in the present society. A free and fair society that readily fosters growth and development for all and sundry without any prejudice should be the main focus of good governance. Governance in itself is not total, ideal governance should ensure sufficient system of support for the unbridled expression of freedom. In a society where free and fair, openness and transparency are absent, it is a sign of incompetent, useless and clueless leadership that does not suffer pride in anyone but itself.
 The real freedom is when you are able to gladly give everything you have got to a course, target or mission without getting consumed by your highly likely fatal failure because the society that should compliment your effort and guide you to success is not working.

EKITI POLITICS; THESE CURRENT TRENDS

Politics in Ekiti since the electoral meltdown of 1983 has indeed carved a niche for itself in the local and international political landscape. Ekiti is a land that prides itself in its intellectual potentials and dispositions making it a force to reckon with especially in education and other spheres of human endeavour; however, the major Achilles’ heel is the seldom over appraisal of intellectual endowments which as a matter of fact influence decisions that can result in rancorous situations. One major trait of a typical Ekiti indigene is being down to earth. The latter may be affected by social class, educational status and the level of exposure. The current trends in Ekiti is what can be described as the one in which our strength now becomes a major weakness due to the fact that we have gradually replaced our core values with sentiment and frivolity; excessive sentimental attachment to educational qualifications is in no doubt a force to contend with among Ekiti elites.

Life Experience in the Present Society

There is a way life goes through us, leaving indelible marks, trails and conspicuous golden leftovers of timelines in events to be cherished either transiently or lifelong. These can either be pleasant or unpleasant; subject to individual attitudinal orientation and belief. Our quests to explore life and its fantasies are quite unique and interesting. While some gutsy folks readily throw caution to the wind, grab the bull by the horn and live life to the fullest with less stress, over-cautiousness might be the biggest undoing of others, swiftly restricting their experience bandwidth. Whether timid or gutsy, irrespective of your race and background, the same pedestal exists for everyone to experience life uniquely.  Personality and temperaments also play a key role in determining our choice of adventures and nature of experience we get from them. While outgoing, extroverts Sanguines are readily making most of their time count, the phlegmatic introvert might need to temporarily ...
