WHO GETS THE GLORY?

Team work is a very interesting thing, in fact, ability to work efficiently in a team is an asset to some employee. It is also the best approach to voluntary projects.
But then, there is this lethal question of ''who gets the glory?'' This question has poisoned so many groups with bright intentions for the society.

When working in a team, especially on volunteerism, the focus should remain on the cause not the extolment. The genuine reason why you joined a team in the first place counts way more than the hundreds of likes on instagram and thousands of views on facebook unless you are actually volunteering to be recognized - there is a difference between the two.

In the last two years, I have joined many teams but three of them failed and the most painful thing is that these three actually have quite impactful ambitions. They all died slowly!

Be sincere to the cause, always. Never look at the 'under-active' or 'over-active' member of the team, work within your own pace and always be ready to give it your best shot.

Hugs,
Dauda.

ESCAPEE

ESCAPEE
Everyday, I wonder;
When will the denizens of hell make it to paradise?
When will humanity fall into balance?
When is it all going to be over?

And yes!
Some citizens of hell made it to paradise.
Some humans live in balance.
An end already met some lives.

Then they must have answers to my questions,
But then, when I asked,
Each one said a different thing!
Then I realized, there is no way out, they are all escapees!

RETURN OF PHOENIX

Hola!

It's been a while on this space! Hope all is well with you, dearest reader! I have been up to quite a lot of things, basically trying to help others in little ways directly and indirectly and trying to fix myself too!(haha).
As I have outlined earlier, Wonder Nation currently has a couple of publication projects at hand namely publication of Word Wizardry Anthology and The Phoenix Series (untitled yet) and the good news is, right now, I have resumed activities towards this. In fact, The Phoenix Series shall continue soon.
I really apologize for my absence and I hope to continue giving my poetry audience the very best I can.

GOOD NEWS: this time around, I will be providing brief explanation to my poems...#OneLove

Thank you all! I love you so much!  #OneLove

ANIMAL WELFARE IN ISLAM

ANIMAL WELFARE IN ISLAM
In my teenage years, I have always wondered how people could act inhumane towards helpless creatures, stories we heard are enough to scare one for life.

MY TRANSPARENT BAG

Plastic pollution does no good to humans, animals or the environment (aquatic and terrestrial). It is a menace to the entire humanity. It threatens the three integral components of One Health - human health, animal health and environmental health. Humans have more than enough reasons to take the fight against plastic pollution personal. #MyTransparentBag When I came back to school this semester, I chose to join the fight against plastic pollution and punch it no matter how light my blow is (lol). I stopped disposing plastic waste mindlessly, I kept a transparent plastic bag in a corner of my room where I'd drop plastic waste - chiefly sachets and nylons (they don't decompose so they don't smell!). Even if I took water outside, I will keep the satchet in my pocket until I get to #MyTransparentBag. I started alone and now few of my room mates are sharing #MyTransparentBag with me though they laughed at me three weeks ago (lol). Imagine how clean and safe it would be if we stopped littering the streets with 'pure water sachets', 'black nylons', 'coke bottle', and 'indomie sachets'!

My name is Dauda and I am saying #NoToPlasticPollution with #MyTransparentBag!

HOW TO EXHIBIT TRUE PATIENCE

HOW TO EXHIBIT TRUE PATIENCE

A brother once shared a beautiful true story to me and I decided to use the story to prepare this writeup. Let's read it twice and implement the lessons in it please.
There is the saying by the wise that;

Word Wizardry Ekphrasis 1

It's more of a pendulum
a vision moving back and forth.
For this I'll call her 'she'
Why? She can control your thoughts.

ANIMLAS DESERVE NO LESS

ANIMALS DESERVE NO LESS IN ISLAM

➡ The view of animals within Islam attains the perfect balance,  although we have the authority over animals, we must ensure the health and well-being of every living creature that exists alongside us.

DOCTOR OF WHAT?

Doctor of What?
Two letters, one period (Dr.), so much fuss. Then again, this short combination of letters and punctuation is rather much coveted. It projects expertise and draws respect. It indicates status, accomplishment and years of study. It earns clients' trust, it makes parents proud, so perhaps it should be no surprise that more health care professionals want to see the honorific "Dr." before their names.

LET US SHINE

LET US SHINE
In the beginning of our time,
We looked up into the sky so bright.
For we were poisoned with the elan to shine with the day,
Imbued into us was the ability to hearken the future's call.
