FOR ALL THE AFROLICIOUS PEEPS

What a Life!

While on my fantastic trip on the journey of Self- discovery I [Femi Kuforiji] was quite fortunate to discuss some issues of societal values with one of the Nigeria finesse on the train.
I boarded the train and was writing some articles as a freelance writer when I glanced over and saw this stunning lady reading this book titled, “Does human being rest at all and when do they rest”
I was quite stunned due to the title of the book and was determined to know what the book entitles even if I had to walk-up to the lady and ask her to recapitulate the book for me, I really didn’t care that particular moment.

Although, I thought the book is probably about the desire and clamouring of human beings but I was taken-aback when I briefly read some chapters from the book after been insulted and tongue-lashed by this lady, who happened to be a Nigeria lady who has lost touch with her African background both culturally, morally and has been westernized to the bone…The insults that was dished-out to me by this beautiful lady was later compensated by the contents of the book and I myself was left thinking and ruminating about the essence of life, the impartation of human beings to the development of the society; why do we clamour for materialistic entities when we all are going to leave them behind one day; do human beings have peace of mind and when do they have peace of mind e.t.c

The issue about the “Peace of mind” that this book emphasised upon was centred on how we [human beings] work day and night to make it in life and at the end of everything, we leave everything behind in this world when we die.

The lasting question I came across in the book again was, “When are you going to have peace of mind” …I couldn’t answer the question myself because we [human beings] have no peace of mind because is either we are chasing after wealth, ladies, cars, men, shelter, frivolous entities and so on and so forth.

The question now rest on you to answer and what ever answer you have to the question, is up to you…just ask yourself this re-phrased question, “When am I going to have peace of mind”?

To the razor mouthed and wonderful Nigeria lady who is full of abusive body piercing words that gave me the opportunity to read the book on my fantastic trip on the journey of Self- discovery, I hope you read this article with outmost attention and it was really cool talking with you after you settled down when you learnt I wasn’t trying to pulling a fast string on you by asking to read the book.


Life is full of ups and downs and the more we live in this world; the more we learn.
