SOUL'E RHYMEZ WORLD

Last week, the picture of a boy, said to be eight years old, who was mobbed and killed for stealing garri took the social media by storm. While some people believe he was not eight years old as purported, some people believe the picture was only doctored. But be it true or not, it does not stop the fact that we have cases on jungle justice here and there all over Africa. Just some years back, 4 innocent students were beaten to death in Port Harcourt, Nigeria, by a mob, who believed they were armed robbers. It is in this regard that Nigerian youths take SRAF, a WhatsApp group to express their thoughts about jungle justice. The discussion which took place on the 20 th November, 2016 was moderated by Soul’e Rhymez , a Poet and Public speaker from Nigeria. According to Adeniyi Maryam, a student from Osun State, who opened the floor on the night, Jungle justice is nothing to write home about. People pass jungle justice in order to get justice for themselves, so they say, bu...

Sometime ago, I was talking to a lady about a business opportunity, without finding out what it was, she said it was too easy and looks like a scam and even though I showed her my earnings, she still could not be convinced. This made me remember the words of Jesus Christ which goes thus: “The children of the world are wiser than the children of the kingdom.” Was Jesus wrong to have said that? Looking at Jesus’ example of a servant, who after realizing his master was going to chase him away due lack of productivity, called his master’s debtors, whom he has given goods on debt without the knowledge of his master and told them to pay half of what they were owing. This made it easier for them to pay, they paid and he gave the money to his master, who in return retained him and loved him more. He had achieved three things with that: making his master happy, retaining his job and setting the debtors free. Looking at it critically, that servant wasn’t honest. He wasn’t hon...

No one has become successful without first having faith to do something and taking the risk to do it. The two most important ingredients of success, regardless of how it is defined are faith and risk . 12 years ago, Mark Zuckerberg invited 5 people to his Harvard dorm room to discuss a business opportunity - "Facebook" Only 2 people showed up and they got in. Today those two people are billionaires: Dustin Moskovitz ($10.7 Billion) and Eduardo Saverin ($7.4 Billion) The three other people simply didn’t have faith in the vision and were not willing to take the risk involved in achieving it. Where are they today?  They are simply nowhere to be found compared to Mark and the other two. There is nothing more expensive than a closed mind; neither is anything as painful as a neglected opportunity, that you later see people succeed with. According to Soul’e Rhymez , “ One of the hallmarks of great entrepreneurs is risks taking. If you haven’t taken an...

“No one has become successful without first having faith to do something and taking the risk to do it.” 12 years ago, Mark Zuckerberg invited 5 people to his Harvard dorm room to discuss a business opportunity - "Facebook" Only 2 people showed up and they got in.

Where are they today? Simply nowhere to be found. There is nothing more expensive than a closed mind; neither is anything as painful as a neglected opportunity. According to Soul’e Rhymez, *“ One of the hallmarks of great entrepreneurs is risks taking.” * If you haven’t taken any risk that makes you doubt if your sense is still intact, even when it is, then you are not living yet, you only exis t. Therefore, if you do not have faith something will work and ...

Ever since his essay “ When Education Becomes Indoctrination ”, has gone viral, enjoying publication on different websites, blogs and newspapers across the country including The Guardian Newspaper . Soul’e Rhymez has been resilient in his bid to redefine education.   In a bid to do that, the writer, who is known for his controversial style of writing haven’t stopped getting attention from people, both positive and negative. The eccentric public speaker and poet raised another set eyebrows again on the 12 th of November, 2016 at a seminar organized by Dream Achievers World (DAW), tagged “Sabificate beyond Certificate” where he was invited as one of the guest speakers. The seminar which has the likes of Mr. Christian Nonso, Mr. James Ifeanyi, Miss. Juliet Obi and Mr. Emmanuel C.S Eze in attendance left a lot of questions in the minds of the audience, who battled to understand the difference between schooling and education. Soul’e Rhymez started by affirming that edu...

More than 2000 years ago, Jesus, the greatest entity to grace this earth said, “The children of the world are wiser than the children of the kingdom.” What are they doing better? Looking at Jesus’ example of a servant who after realizing his master was going to chase him away due lack of productivity, he called his master’s debtors, whom he has given goods on debt without the knowledge of his master, telling them to pay half of what they owe. This made it easier for them to pay, they paid and he gave the money to his master, who in return retained him and loved him more. He had achieved three things with that: making his master happy, retaining his job and setting the debtors free. Looking at it critically, that servant wasn’t honest. He lied to his master by collecting half of his debts and making him believe it was the full debt. He was not being honest, yet Jesus referred to him as being wise. Does it mean Jesus support dishonesty? You need to know more. ...
