Time as a THEORY to prove the existence of GOD



Everything that happens and everything that doesn't happen, happen in time. The day you understand the concept of time, the day you know that life as we all know it is all about timing.

The good and the evil/bad, the gains and the pains, fall and the rise, etc. consider one idea and put its opposites or near opposites either concrete or abstraction next to each other - both exist in time and not outside. This proves the existence of a higher force against atheists' and/ or scientists' positions on the existence of any higher force because there is no evidence of the force's existence.

Anything that could have created time and everything that works within the constructs or 'jurisdictions or boundaries' of time had to have been made by an entity outside time itself. And the time which houses everything that works therein it had to have been made too by a force outside itself and not within time or what is within time itself. And the same force has the absolute control over both time and everything that goes on in it. In other words, there has to be a force much more powerful than time, to stay outside time or to be before there is the time within which we function at the moment and then create the time within which we all have been operating.

For the Universe and the mother Earth to have had birthdays, that implies they have 'Parent.' And paradoxically, it is in the constructs of this unseen course that we operate both our wit and foolishness. This same invisible force must have allowed it, and this is why we will never understand what we are not meant to understand. Why? The reason is that, everything we know such as that there is God or that 'there is God' is FALSE is what this unseen force wants us to understand - it is like you sending a file into a cloud you created, check again in a thousand times, if you'd not add more data to it, the one you sent there is what you'll always find there.

Poesy on the uniqueness of individuality by the same author

Out of 100% of mysteries in the world alone, let's forget space now, we haven't even solved 1% yet as old as the universe is and as sophisticated as we are in the world at the moment. In other words, there is much more we have not discovered than what we have discovered yet about Earth, let's forget the universe for now.

So, as long as there are day and night, good and evil, birth and death, boy and girl, wealth and poverty, heaven and Earth, etc.  there is a force in charge of the consistent regulation or balance, and that (unseen) force is, God.

Who we are by Jodekss Gloatkenf



My do-this-do-that deeds are unto star's
I, a star -an entity with several scars so
For the journeys of a light in sum has
to be being knightly through a hollow glow
of a nightly cuss caused by the course
I know not, not so even though I'd treat.
Lo! Come one n' come all - n' beware
of us like us - we are starlight, we share
Attractiveness could pitch as us in fine feat
[Just as reeled like horse on fire by a young feet]
We'd come into your grimly darkly night
With all these lights we shine this bright
When we leave we left with you left alone, heal
When we leave we left with us left as cornerstone still.

Fusion of fatalism and anti-fatalism as a determinant factor of a man's destiny by Boluwatife

By 🅱🅾🅻🆄🆆🅰🆃🅸🅵🅴

The very first time I came across these words - fatalism and anti-fatalism, I was not surprised but I tried to bring a synergy between these two concepts. However, they are separate opinions or philosophical terms that should be dealt with separately depending on the context. Surprisingly, I found out that they can actually be treated alongside. In fact, they cannot be isolated from each other. 

At some point, an individual will eventually be a victim of fate but anti-fatalism or indeterminism will virtually change the prediction of fate. 

In simple terms, fatalism is the belief in bad occurrence which is inevitable. Fatalism, the attitude of mind which accepts whatever happens as having been bound or decreed to happen. In other words, predestination. What happens during the cause of life is believed to have been predestined or ordained by the gods. Hence, an individual does not have the choice or liberty to change what his or her destiny has chosen. 

Ola Rotimi's ' the gods are not blame' better explains the concept of fatalism. Odewale the main character could have chosen another destiny if he has the chance but it seems the gods are harsh toward him. He is left with absolutely no choice other than to kill his father ignorantly and marry his mother. Many today find themselves in the shoes of Odewale in a way. This is so we they just have this persuasive feeling that whatever happens is what they are destined to experience believing they have no control over the course of their lives. The chance to turn back the hands of time comes knocking at the door of these people, hence Anti-fatalism. 

In other not to become a victim of bad fate, anti-fatalism says what you become or what determines your destiny are choices and decisions you make. You don't have to blame the gods or God. He chose your destiny for you and gave you free will to do whatsoever you deem fit to fulfil it. 

Many religious circles are the propagators of fate. Some even attribute it to Yoruba culture that is 'kádàrá ni' (it is destiny). 'You can't change your destiny' have become the norm. Forgetting what the Holy Bible says about Jabez. Did God not change his destiny? The truth is fate and indeterminism will play out in our lives at some points but we have the chance to choose and overcome bad fate.

What happens to those with good fate? Just like we have bad fate,  also have the good ones. Predestination gave birth to both. What bothers me is that those with GOOD DESTINY don't strive at all. They settle and hope their good fate will bring them fortunes suddenly. I dare to say GOOD FATE KILL YOU THERE. Have they forgotten the rules of anti-fatalism? Don't sit there and expect manna to fall from heaven. Even good-fated individuals should thrive to bring their good fate to realisation. 

The bottom line is, your choices and decisions determine your destiny. Not what Ifa, baba, pastor or alfa says. You are the chief executive (author) officer of your destiny!

Now, We’d Raise an Eye Brow – Coronavirus and Lassa Fever in Question


Author – Odunayo Areyemi

“An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure”. That could have been the starting ana if I had not had a change of mind this cold morning. Science –to me had been with us long before the beginning of humanity itself ‘archeologically’. How? Everything scientifically discovered are being discovered from what had been around before check. So, human’s evolution in psyche toward science would always be running behind the mother nature, leave it or take it. But is it not time for humans to think twice, three times –and be more critical considering the perspective from which we evaluate our resolves on scientific happenings around us? Doing this would awaken the mindfulness in us and make us to be able to prevent the worse to come rather than running around in kilter trying to find solutions –as humanity’s extinction would double in its rapid speed at happening –when the worse happens. Coronavirus and lassa fever are currently adding insult to injury, deaths in different continents as at the moment of typing this. Thousands had died, are dying and are probably to get infected. And who knows which virus is coming next? And there would definitely be more to the number of the headcount of those dead and infected released by the countries’ authority –one should know that by default even without the whistleblowers sounding whistles about the actual figure.
Coronavirus – 2019-NCoV in China and Lassa Fever in Nigeria for instance in Africa are topping the chart of killer infections in 2020 already check. The former seems to be spreading faster than the latter though. Coronavirus is coined from the Latin word ‘corona’ which means crown or halo as the shape of the virus resembles a crown. Whilst Lassa was named after the town where the case first occurred in the world in 1969, in Nigeria with its infection across West African nations estimated to 300,000 – 500, 000 with at least 5000 deaths annually (Facts Sheet, 2020). But what or who could have caused these deadly viral infections if I may ask? Even though it had been narrowed down in the course of trying to create vaccines and cure coronavirus that its root cause is the consumption of wildlife such as bats, snakes or possible leak from well-protected centre (in Wuhan,) China (Young, 2020). I would like to raise eye brow on the ‘well-protected centre’ the most as manmade deliberate or undeliberate action could have leaked the virus. And in commonality with coronavirus, lassa fever –an endemic in Nigeria, Benin, Ghana, Guinea, Liberia, Mali, Sierra Leone and Togo in currency had been traced to (the contamination with urine or feces of) infected Mastomys rats (WHO, 2020). Yet and again, I would like to raise eye brow on the ‘well-protected centre’ the most as manmade deliberate or undeliberate action could have leaked it.

Billions, if not trillions of dollars would be made by pharmaceutical industries internationally or globally considering these viruses as they are way too hard to cure. The sort of society we live in at the moment has not changed from its greedy ways. The greediness of humanity could have formed the chain reaction that led to the release of some viruses that we have learnt already worldwide. Do you know fat-pocketed companies deliberately study and build viruses? Though the former might be to understand yet it is dangerous just as the latter as they are both interwoven. Powerful people could try and understand a virus to multiply it and use the same as weapon for the sake of extortion, monetary value or other factors that could be tagged to evil mindset, greediness or hate. There are cases established validly of virus leaking before. The outbreak of SARS in 2004 in China had been traced to a leak from where it was contained (Young, 2020). Let us assume the worst of humanity again these days, ALL THIS COULD BE MANMADE trust me. These viruses are being studied and are being tested on animals such as ape, rats and all others. These animals run, bite and all that. Could it have been that one was being injected with the virus (in the course of studying or not) on purpose and sold out? There are different possibilities to the source of these killer diseases. And each could have the backing of one greedy agent for a selfish end – so, we should note and watch out!
Nonetheless, as much as I would want us all to consider things from opposing perspectives at times and not be too common, I would want to us to be wary of the potential carriers of these viral diseases. We could abstain from consuming wildlife and we would survive fine. Coronavirus for instance as reported has cross-species transmission of pathogen from snakes or bats. This means bats could be the source because snakes feed on bats. Snake being the first host of coronavirus years back, implies a snake could have bitten a bat and that bat could have then been fed on at the Wuhan market. Yet, the mystery of how a pathogen whose host was coldblooded animal could survive in a warm-blooded one remains a mystery or ‘a secret’.  Meanwhile, these wildlife, cold-blooded or warm-blooded, carries potential threats as viruses in their systems from their own wild or habitat naturally which might not multiply in their system, but on getting to us humans, their multiplicity rate would not be in 2’s or 4’s but in 100’s –the insane strength of virus. Chinese home and abroad should at the moment be wary of bat eaters around them and abstain consumption of bats. Nigerians and its sub-region states’ indigenes and non-indigenes should keep their houses clean off rats whether infected or not. If one must kill a rat, not with bare parts but with a tool and make no rooms for them in the interior part of the house. No rat-eating. For those whose businesses are about wildlife animals such as bat, snake and even rat family. Care must be taken – “prevention is better than cure”, they say.

Congratulations! By Jodekss


It is not easy to rejoice with a neighbour instantly who gets what you have been longing for just like that. Hundreds of questions beginning with ‘why’ or ‘how’ would run through your head in a matter of few seconds before you could congratulate the fellow. At times you just turn back and leave in regret, confusion, hatred, envy as you do not understand why yours is so difficult to do already. That is nature for you. That is human for you. Feelings like such in such an occasion can be said to be automatic for everyone in your situation out of frustration.

There are some principles about life though you seem to have taken for granted which are eye opener on how things work under the sun from the beginning of time and yet. Understanding these principles would not allow you to dwell too long in these negative thoughts at any point in time –they will keep you in good position to receive your own long awaited blessings. The more you reflect on negativities like those, the more they spread and make matter worse. Don’t you dwell in them!

There is appropriate time for everyone. There is season for everything. There is the appropriate time for night to come and go and for day to come and go. The two should not come together or go together at the same time. Just as it will be very odd for everyone in the world to be born at the same time –imagine how uneven everything will look like if it is like that. If what you need so much has not reached you yet, that does not mean yours is not on the way. That does not mean your sins are the worst in the history of humanity. That may not mean you are not prayerful enough. When what you want or need reaches your neighbour first, it is not a sign that yours will not reach you later. It would definitely. The only difference is that just as it has been conditioned for day to come then night so as it, for you. The person’s blessing is to come first, then yours later in time.

The world of World Barnabas - Mystical Pen

Dwelling too long in poor feelings will shift your position from receiving at your own appropriate time. This is just like as we snooze alarm farther in time on our cell phones. If/when your neighbour gets what you have been crying in the open and in the closet for, walk up to such, rejoice with or congratulate such wholeheartedly. Don’t do fake congratulations please! Do it from the bottom of your heart having understood your season is close by in good faith –when the person you congratulated would have no choice but to congratulate you too out of awe.

Most times we shy away from wishing others well when they actually have a quarter of the blessings on the way to us and because we do that, the blessings become someone else’s and we are back to square one. How long must we continue to live like this –with attitudes that keep pooling backwards our blessings? Find it easy to rejoice with your neighbour; even if out of arrogance the person feels s/he has the best of blessings. If you have rejoiced truly, yours might just be better. Wʜᴀᴛᴇᴠᴇʀ ʏᴏᴜ ᴛʜʀᴏᴡ ɪɴᴛᴏ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀsᴇ ᴛʜᴇ ᴜɴɪᴠᴇʀsᴇ WILL ᴛʜʀᴏᴡ ʙᴀᴄᴋ ᴀᴛ ʏᴏᴜ ᴇᴠᴇɴᴛᴜᴀʟʟʏ.

Untold Unfold by World Barnabas

By JonoDry

Nᴏʙᴏᴅʏ ᴡɪʟʟ ᴇsᴄᴀᴘᴇ ᴡʜᴀᴛ ɪs ᴍᴇᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ. 
Oɴᴄᴇ ɪᴛ ʜᴀᴘᴘᴇɴᴇᴅ ɪᴛ ɪs ᴍᴇᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʙᴇ! 
~Jodekss Gloatkenf

There are some indelible scars
that are dutiful than umbilicus
to relate the unplanned lyrics
in the drowning of momentary tides
that scripted unrest in forlorn flows.

Choices that were made for us
our color and continent
the rhythm of our synopsis
that was written in mythical parables
where a character is also a broken line.

What is DESTINY?

A paint on the wall, water under bridge
for artistic demonstration of purpose
we're both marble and sculptor
converting sweat and tears
to oil-flow in the lantern of existence.

The promises of peace above
made the dove below go blind
through wiring of wombs and night
for cobweb is strong enough
to tie future with shadows of past.

Sometimes, we're legends of wings
flying above underworld of fear
where paraffin are drafted in shroud
as mirror for the missing heads
and those in barter to three-legged birds.

A world is descending into a garment
a slave was once a Prince
bringing sheaves of comets
to clash with the days we were born
and new moon to anthem of fading stars.

In those monochromes of reality
buy the best out of moments
to seal salvation of second coming
of missing goods and route
through haunted stores of red-rebel.

I beg to defer on DESTINY by Jodekss






DESTINY is an abstraction which later becomes practical experience in reality in the existence of humanity to be specific. It is a natural phenomenon no life can do without. As long as there is life in a thing, be it a human being or an animal, there are courses ordained such by a Supreme Force that cannot be checked nor balanced, from the beginning of our first breath, to the last. Research has shown some linguistically prefer to call DESTINY fate or lot. It is just synonym having closest semblance in meaning to the word DESTINY. Linguistics apart, what has been said so far about destiny?

In furtherance of the above, DESTINY is, according to Oxford English Dictionary (Electronic), “that to which any person or thing is destined; a predetermined state; a condition predestined by Divine or by human will. Another definition holds that it is “the fixed order of things; invincible necessity; an irresistible power or agency conceived of as determining the future, whether in general or an individual”. There are bunches of theories, explanations from the beginning of time, since when humans begin to question philosophically using their minds and brain powers, is what it is to be or what has to be. There are lots literary texts and tell-tales told to foreground what destiny means across different race, culture, history, norm and so forth of human kinds. In sum, some hold that destiny can be changed while others hold that it cannot be changed. However, even owing to the Oxford Dictionary’s definition of DESTINY, there is to me, the singular agreement, that it is something that is TO BE (COME) –something that WILL happen in the future time, unavoidably, somehow.


Nonetheless, all I beg to defer about is about these common perceptions. Most people see destiny as what cannot be changed once revealed. Almost everyone believes it is something that has never happened. “Change”, they say “is the most constant thing” in life. Everything keeps changing in every millisecond there will ever be. That is why there is a QUESTION MARK on the word PRESENT or NOW. For as you say NOW or at this moment, there is a tick-tock on the wall clock –that establishes the fact that, in life, nothing is the same as it was just a moment past. In that time-wise effect, it is impossible to change DESTINY. It is impossible to reestablish what had long been established. Have you ever pondered on the powerful line in the Bible when God said He had chosen one of the greatest prophets even before the beginning of time? That is just a literal (biblical) allusion. There are numberless of things which are yet to happen to all of us as long as we live. Probably we are being told one or two would happen to us in the future time and we are expectant daily by default. While out of the one or two told us, one, both might or might not come to pass till we leave this world. Then we would begin to wonder –but it was said this would be and that would be for that person, but only one be or none be or actually in contrast, both be. These things to come, such as this article I am writing, it could be said, even before the first light on the darkness that shrouded this world, it had been predestined I do it on Tuesday, September 10, 2019 between a stretch of time. But before it has been established, should we call it DESTINY as by FACT, yesterday, I did not know I would be doing it to be earnest?! 

People believe facts more than they would, what is abstract. Humans naturally tend to double-mind what they cannot feel with their sensory organs such as the eyes, the nose, the tongue the skin most directly. In chain-reaction –the virtue of what you do, affecting what I do and what everyone else worldwide will do –there are countless of things that are to happen today which we do not expect and all can only be subsumed under the umbrella of DESTINY, if and only if it had happened though why? This is because, DESTINY is an establishment that nothing or no one CAN EVER BE ABLE TO CHANGE. It is like, none of can change what we ate yesterday, we could only choose to eat something different now or later. The theories which established that DESTINY can be changed got it all wrong, this could be argued though, when they failed to extend further in reasoning that even when a DESTINY changed, it changed because it had been predestined to change. Meaning, this changing, no matter how many times it happened, is still equal to the same DESTINY.  In other words, let us agree it had been said that I would not be the one to type what you are reading just now and I am the one who eventually is typing it; it can then be said that it had been PREDESTINED for me not to actually be the person to type it in the first place and to later be the person to type it. So, it is still the same DESTINY. DESTINY cannot change. It cannot be changed –“What will be will be”. And once it BE, then, just then, can it be called DESTINY. 

Therefore, once something has not happened, there are countless numbers of cause and effect running across the cosmos for it to happen. You can decide to stop reading this and delete next of cause. With emphasis on STOP READING and DELETE, till that has been done successfully, for instance, it cannot be said it is a DESTINY for you to STOP READING this and DELETE. Anything that cannot be UNDONE or CHANGED is DESTINY. Everything that happened in the past, the ones we remember, the ones we do not remember, the ones that are positive and the ones that are negative, none of us, in this human might, will ever be able to change. Accordingly, these happenings, for even though we tried, we prayed, we fasted, we did all sort of things for things to happen perhaps differently but for each to happen just the way we could remember each means DESTINY is not what is or what is to come but what’s PAST. That which we cannot change.

‌‌🇪‌🇳‌🇱‌🇮‌🇬‌🇭‌🇹‌🇪‌🇳‌🇮‌🇳‌🇬 

DESTINY through life, has put us through many things, both good and bad. Let’s take time to rejoice in the light of these good memories like babies play with toys happily while the bad ones we should try as much as possible to let go. If we must forgive others or self, we should do that instantly for there is nothing we can do to change yesterday. However, even though the Supreme Being or Force designs us DESTINY as He sees best fit for Himself and us all, we have a quota to do as well through our ability to CHOOSE. We can actually choose to use the experience of yesterday today wisely and carefully to make tomorrow be better than every other memory when tomorrow is remembered in time farther. I mean ‘we as well have control over what we do’. Just as you could choose to stop right now from reading, sharing this or continue to the end. As a believer, on DESTINY, I say, God have mercy!

Versed for black WOMEN

Tho' Sarah Baartman's black behind became rousing tool
Her carcass was even erecting their libido's experimental pool

Toxic tout toured my teary eyes across my round nose
reeling through the cactus cuts on black women's toes

Are you ready to RELEASE? 😘

Aníkúlápó broke the seal towards Chinese soil
Roamed their earth a lady black panther without moil

Now millions more yet change the narrative far and near yo
Sissy Serena, sister Serena's sister met stealing the show
Coco came in too to race her course; she raised her brow
Her swinging hand sang the ball to scream-echo a crow
Lo la witch as they call you you yoke the law of gravity
Triple danger rolling baby Biles flashed more twain flips by!

A womb cannot belong to the cadre I cruise around in reality
I worship originality of the black Beyoncè's purity pretty.

Unto Legends by Jodekss




Unto small lemon, lime at its caustic bite
on the tongue to swallow so throat is mend
Let's remind us of the cruising volcan cross 
as he fires fire at our bare backs so black
till better bunt
just as my thought nay: we endured misplacement of respect cycloid to Africa
Before n' till we fight till freed to feed - in quote

Unto this is as simple as this Limerick lined
To the gory remembrance of those times waived 
Yet we, if we still breathe n' be, have to forebear 
Fight till we win; till death does his sly (beware) 
All great lives, in life, get a tale touching to share. 

Read: PASTORAL too....
