The power in the STREET is amazing. So deep and palpable, only the mischievous and recalcitrant keep a blind eye and pretend not to see.
The STREET a place, an avenue to solve whatever issues no matter how intricate and complex.
Get to the STREET, everything melts before it. It may not be immediate but certainly it would, if the STREET continues to be a reference point.
The STREET I speak and talk about, isn’t the physical street, where we ply, drive and trek on. The STREET I advocate isn’t the one that gets rowdy and crowded in the day and becomes graveyard in the night.
I speak to that STREET that brings out our humanity, our relationship, our emotions, connectivity and togetherness.
The STREET I speak is not the one we walk on, protesting against bad governance. It is not the street where security officers, engage the vulnerable armless citizens with teargas and make them either wounded or scampering for their lives in their effort to be STREET. No! That is not my kind of street I talk and advocate for.
My kind of STREET is not the one that harbours miscreants, vagrants, looters and rapists. No! Far from it.
My STREET is strategic, where power of engagement, togetherness and unity pull down mountains, solves puzzles and gives relief to worried and forlorn souls.
My STREET( STANDING TOGETHER, RECURRENTLY ENSURING EVERGREEN TOMMOROW) Is the best, nobody who gets this STREET as strategy fails in anything. It may not provide on the spur of the moment answer, but surely, the end or the future is always evergreen, if we are consistent with the STREET strategy
Let us get on this STREET be wise about it and drive it with mastery. Until we get to this point in our nation, leak( Living everyday attracting knavery) becomes our drink of bitterness and misery as we are presently experiencing it.
Let hold unto to the STREET, The best thing to do.
