IS YOUR STYLIST AN ASSURANCE or AN INSURANCE? IS YOUR STYLIST AN ASSURANCE or AN INSURANCE?

written by Odilichukwu Frances

Did you know what I missed most this Easter and Lockdown?

It’s that I didn’t see clown (horrible) attires that trigger unending laughter any time I remember the design, courtesy of the tailors and seamstresses who are supposed to clothe us in fitting attires for events.

Thinking about that now, you also missed that especially when you are not the person in the attire. We have all had a fair share of that, at least once.

To usher you into the moment we decided relive a few moments. Grab a drink because it’s INTELLECTS and chill time!

PRIZY:

I was to go for Kay’s wedding, then I decided to sew a style I had admired for a long time. I relocated temporarily to Anambra state from Cross River, so I needed a new seamstress. I found a particular shop attractive and it seemed to be worth the try. After a little chat, I showed her the style and she assured me it was a done deal, I gave her my material and paid. Confidently, she called me to pick my dress. What I saw was like the case of ‘what you ordered versus what they delivered’. I wore it that way.

HOPE:

Last December, I was only interested in having something to wear for my parents Chieftaincy Installation. I trusted this seamstress with the only attire I needed for the season. The day we were to travel to the village, I went to pick my dress. The woman had not even cut the materials (perhaps she was planning to help me resell). I just wore a jean and top in low spirits. Till this day, even the shoe I bought for the attire is lying untouched.

EUPHEMIA:

I fell in love with a fabric I found in the market, so I bought and thought to add a new dress to my wardrobe. I went to my seamstress and gave her a style as usual. The day I went to fit and pick my dress, we exchanged pleasantries as usual and she asked if I came visiting since I had no material. I laughed it off, meanwhile at the entrance was the same material I gave her but a different style and size. To cut the long story short, my seamstress used my material for another client. What manner of act is that?!

EMMANUEL:

My birthday was on a Saturday last year, and same day was a friend’s wedding, and I was in the league of his groom’s men. I looked forward to the day in high spirit. I decided to gift myself a customized suit which I will be wearing to the wedding. My tailor gave me an assurance that all is well. For some reasons we agreed I will pick it the early that morning; I wish I could see the future because that was a real wrong decision. So, on Saturday morning, while the boys were teasing our friend in church, and the wedding was going on, I was dressed in a casual wear, sitting in the tailor’s shop and waiting for him to finish my suit because going home was going to get me stuck in traffic.

NKEM:

I belonged to the girls’ guild and we were preparing for a march past to celebrate the girls’ week in the church. Marching was an activity I enjoyed and I was very good at it, so I joined the girls’ and was behind the flag bearers but I needed a uniform. The uniform was a white shirt tucked in a green skirt, a cap and a tie. Every member had one, I had one but my white shirt was old; so I got a material and took the shirt as a sample to a seamstress that always beckoned on me to patronize her. A day to the march past, I went to pick my shirt, it looked beautiful but the collar was nothing to be a seamstress for. My friend encouraged me to try it on with the tie. I almost choked that day, looking like a ram being dragged to church for a child dedication. The group provided with a shirt I could use that evening.

GLORIA RUBY:

It happened sometime last year. I had a function to attend and needed to be nicely and stylishly dressed for the occasion. Nigerian stylists and their usual disappointments, I wasn’t going to take chances so I got the fabrics and gave them to my seamstress ahead of time. I made sure to call from time to time to supervise the making of my outfit and for each call, my seamstress gave me an assurance that all was going well. The due date for collection was here, I was in her house by 9:30pm to meet the highlight of the day; she had just finished cutting my fabric! And was yet to sew it!! I felt my world crumble because I had no alternative wear and I had to leave for the neighboring town very early the next day for the occasion. I left my seamstress’ place after much arguments but of course without my clothes.

VERA:

A certain seamstress convinced my mum to convince her and my material was the first trial. First, she missed the style, but my sisters said it wasn’t so bad, so I wore it to granny’s house we had a little family event. After the meal, the dirty plates were quite much so we had to wash them outside; my cousins (peers) and I. As soon as I bent to wash the plates, I heard a cracking sound, it was my dress. I stood up to see the part that covered my stomach was torn. I would have been better off wearing a crop top than that dress. I told mum patronizing that woman was going to be an error and it did happen.

We draw the curtain here!

Make sure your fashion stylist is an assurance not an insurance except you want to make it to The Intellects’ Magazine screen in the next episode.

WHY NOW?

written by Odilichukwu Frances

Before the end of year two thousand and nineteen (2019), the two thousand and twenty (2020) calendar was almost ticked; at least from January to Easter or even Summer as the case may be for institutions and the world at large. A lot was said about two thousand and twenty, but right now, the world is not sure any more what to do or where to turn while still making plans for next year.

Like an ice hit Titanic, a pandemic hit the human race. There have been so many speculations about the virus on social media.

In the beginning, it was considered a virus contracted from aquatic animals in Wuhan, theories that postulated some virus and bacteria are harmless to animals but could be harmful to humans. Some consider it a bio weapon, perhaps the type that can replace nuclear weapons and grant one country the plaque of world power; yet there are still others who consider the pandemic a punishment for the evil man has perpetrated on planet earth.

To accept one of these could be accepting all because there is a common ground for them all. One of which is for such pandemic to occur despite of artificial intelligence, the advancement of technology and a few forecast by data analysis it shows that something is not sitting right on the human planet.

Inevitably, countries are on a severe lock down because people are expected to sit at home to reduce the spread of the virus in affected areas; except an occupation or vocation does not involve any throng.

By implication there are few or no producing companies working, retailers are probably not able to sell, wholesalers possibly have their money in the clouds from trying to strike a deal with manufacturers and retailers. Consumers are not left out of this chain because those who are not economical could be running out of supplies if that has not happened already and if the lock down persists. Well, digital learning has really been promoted and a good tech savvy educationist can find a good ground online.

While there is doubt in the report of countries and the cause of covid-19, one is certain, that there is a huge imbalance in the world, ranging from recession, global warming and the advancement of technology; and this happened to create balance. Yes, balance and shift to give who wills an opportunity to start afresh or to advance to a more fertile ground.

Of course, it is always good to have a plan, so that opportunity becomes more revealing except where opportunity requires a fresh plan. Look within, there is need for a fresh plan in your area, and in Nigeria generally.

However, while waiting for the government to initiate good policies for socio-economic growth, there is need for subsistence industrialization. Start small scale farming, and other vocations. Meanwhile, take a leap to the digital world for more efficiency; as long as you keep trying, your efforts will take power and make demands the law of attraction will supply. Don’t forget that Titanic did sink but everyone did not sink.

Remember this, power is rarely given, it is taken and the ecosystem is providing a balance for financial, socio-cultural, relationship, physical, spiritual and political growths.

This is happening now for you to make a demand!

TO WHAT END?

written by Odilichukwu Frances

TO WHAT END?

We begin this year confronting the issues that matter!

A few months ago, the world witnessed the trial, impeachment and acquittal of Donald Trump. The American citizens and how America should be seen posed the real center of the discourse. People have their reserved view on what should be or not be, whether the discourse was political or religious, at the end of the day the citizens were the main focus.

Hitherto, in Nigeria there are so many discourses on going, but where is the center?

The essence of government is that everyone be protected from the state of nature which Thomas Hobbes described as brutish, nasty and short lived because violence and oppression to gain absolute control was the order of the day.

Scholars perhaps saw a glimpse of the future and came up with theories they believed to be instruments necessary for a humanity enabling environment.

Today, the Nigeria political system says we practice democracy; government of the people, by the people and for the people. This is vague in practice and in describing the true essence of democracy; hence I like to elaborate democracy in Rousseau’s theory, ‘general will’.

Rousseau in his discourse said: “I give up my will, that every man gives up his will, and we all have a collective will. We have an all-powerful sovereign whose main aim is to express the general will, and each obeys himself, thereby obeying the general will and everyone is free.” (paraphrased)

Consequently, the idea is to provide constitutional stability legitimacy through universal participation and every country who adopted democracy, cannot feign ignorance to the implication of this. It includes lives and properties!

New business policies that do not favour the tax paying businesses are made.

Ranging from the ban on foreign goods without enabling factors to encourage local made goods to rejection of Nigerian made cars and vehicles over foreign made cars, to a monopolizing and a competitive cement market. Today, there is a value added tax attached to phone calls and text messages.

Apparently, it seems the 2019 elections remain inconclusive in some states, and that the electoral rules and what the constitution says about elections are not quite clear considering the interpretations and application or that perhaps in Nigeria, Oligarchy is the practice and democracy, a mere name.

In states like Anambra, citizens who have paid for road worthiness are made to pay for the loads in their tricycles, vehicles and even trucks. Failure to do so, the driver becomes a victim, and the vehicle or items become subject to destruction as the oppressor claim to be following the directives of the government.

More so, the charade that takes the cake is the issue of security. Heads keep rolling, pools of bloods flood around the streets of both the northern and southern protectorates. During the killings of Nigerians in South Africa, only the victims and refugees were heard wailing until Allen Onyema of Air Peace came to their rescue. The government or the voices of the Nigerian diplomat to South Africa and the Federal government were not clear on the issue.

To what end is the will of Nigerians trodden and neglected? To what end is the rising insurgency?

Chinua Achebe could be right in asserting that the center cannot hold!

One of the aims of the government is to secure the territory and protect her people. If the government cannot do that, if Nigeria is drowning in imperialism, her citizens need to know!

Nigerians try to get by everyday with the little value attached to naira. The least the government can do is to provide security since making good business policies are hard and the devaluation of naira seems to irreversible.

Get Nigerians security on all sides and watch her industrious nations grow!

To what end do we lose lives to insurgencies?

NIGERIA; A YEAR FROM SIX DECADES

written by Odilichukwu Frances

Independence was one of the most sought after achievement of African countries in the 19th century. It didn’t spell reliance, it didn’t spread development, and it didn’t project growth. While reading History, we thought it did, the elites thought it did, teachers, lecturers, academies proclaimed it, Nigerians celebrated, and they were not wrong, we all were not wrong at least until the Nigerian civil war.

What we dreamt was total Independence, total freedom, absolute ownership of our identity, full claim of ideas but we only got free from the physical presence of the colonial masters through a document that was sealed by signatories representing different regions and protectorates.

Age fifty-eight was eventful for Nigeria following a few events like the presidential, national and gubernatorial elections, the declaration of June twelve as a public holiday to mark democracy, and the first time the presidential election result is being rejected and taken to court. It’s the time Nigerians celebrated having court affidavit over certificates and more than before a greater promotion of paper works over pragmatism.

A lot of things were done differently in Nigeria this year, even the Big Brother show did not begin early enough, the legal tender became scarcer and there was a rapid increase of unemployed graduates. SARS and other forces that are supposed to end crime have posed a threat to the progress of young Nigerians trying to earn legally. The introduction of the CBN cashless policy which Nigerians on social media tagged daylight robbery due to the charges dressed in penalties. Indeed, a lot happened! Good and bad alike, Channels TV captured patriotic citizens running from their polling units in Lagos, Rivers, and a few more states during the election. Fortunately, we still have a home to fall back to, we have a place of heritage, and we have Nigeria and Nigerians.

These series only amplify Fela’s voice in the minds of the people who echo “Which Way Nigeria?” there is a feeling of lack of freewill and a misrepresentation of democracy.

Nigeria celebrates fifty-nine but the challenges are no different from the problem Chinua Achebe highlighted in his book “The Trouble with Nigeria”; which is as he said, “the trouble with Nigeria is simply and squarely a failure of leadership”. Albeit, the result of “a failure of leadership” in Nigeria manifests in the power supply, export and import areas, the passport, the driver’s license, the economy and politics. Patriots are not willing to lose faith in Nigeria hence, we find a reason to smile in the face of crisis.

This land that harbours lots of mineral resources is a year away from sixty. Sixty will be very significant in Nigeria!

In the spirit of Independence, we pray the leadership of Nigeria to implement the promises attached to the manifestoes, to remember that we have Nigeria because of Nigerians; we pray equity, we hope for a better year because sixty will be significant!

We look forward to a fresh start, to a better year and we hope to see more youths groomed in politics like is being done in Oyo today by His Excellency Seyi Makinde. We want more policies to favour start-ups just like the discount that was given for business name registration. We look forward to a more humanitarian society than a religious society.

Our land is green!

Our land is fertile!!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE NIGERIA!!!

NIGERIA’S SONNET (@ 59)

written by Odilichukwu Frances

NIGERIA @59

A new year is here,
Not to the world but Nigeria.
The voice of a new era
We don’t believe to hear,
At least not in the local area
Yet our hands can weave
The good thoughts in our hands,
And cause the world our wave to air,
As we make for us a home in our
Father land; not for us but our heir.
Lest we fail them
Time has given us this hour,
Space has gifted us each other,
The time is now, NIGERIA we stan!

LIVING BY THE ROPE

written by Odilichukwu Frances

MAY 2019 updated Nigerians with the highest number of suicide incidents among teenagers and young adults. Social media was the platform, twitter and Facebook were the hosts, announcing the Waterloo of these people alongside making known the intention of those who perceived their lives as a semicolon (;) and thought it to be a reason to end their lives. The crowd on the streets of the media were torn in two, a part chorused sympathy, the other part cried out foul, shutting the suicide victims and the likes down reason being that the thought of suicide let alone the act is seen as taboo in the traditional system (Igbo precisely).
Depression like a reptile crept into the mind of the people in various forms when they let their guards down. While science provides psychological approaches to the issue, anthropology keeps pointing the direction of the African tradition and the transcendental nature of man, which infers that suicide may as well be spiritual; something beyond the human rationale. Hence different people stood for various schools of thought in a bid to find solution to the problem.
Nigeria is not the only country to have recorded suicide among young people but it has become an issue that requires proper attention so that this anomaly does not suddenly become a norm in the society. The value for life will be lost if enough is not done to eradicate the core causes of suicide especially among the young people. However, the first step to solving any problem is accepting that there is a problem and then finding a solution to the problem. In October 2018, The Intellects Magazine thought to predict a coming rise in suicide rates after observing series of events, to not be a prophet of doom, The Intellects Magazine refrained from such predictions and settled for identifying the most possible cause and pragmatic solutions.
A lot of people really believe that those who take their lives are either too depressed or tired of living or that they are afraid of living. Albeit, in the case of suicide there is always more to it than meets the eye for no challenge is new to planet earth and no occurrence is entirely strange to the world. The sudden increase in suicide among youths is not tied to the economy, unemployment rate, poor background neither is it tied to any external force outside the bodies of the victims.
What defies a man comes from the inner part of a man! Man is both physical and spiritual. It is important to establish that the physical aspect of man is affected by what the sense organs perceive and the spiritual man operates from the realm that the physical body cannot ordinarily conceive when attached to materialism. Before one is physically dead, the spiritual being has conceded already, hence the saying “s/he gave up the ghost”. Sadly, the society today focuses more on the socioeconomic status, academic grades, gadgets, net-worth, money, sex, social media and lots of other varieties that spice life yet, the society has unconsciously placed little or no value on life. It’s like preparing Jollof rice without the rice itself.
The problems in Nigeria from bad governance to nepotism to imperialism and even the ongoing man slaughter cannot be denied or over looked, the economic crisis and scarcity of Naira in a time as now were Naira is the legal tender can neither be overemphasized; being swept away in a bit to put things together is not the best thing for surely, this era will pass and only those who hold firm to their spirit man will thrive. The spirit man that is starved cannot survive.

Suicide is as a result of what the spirit man has being feeding on. This article is not about religion neither is it about demon-ism yet, they cannot be entirely avoided as long as spirituality is concerned especially in the life of an African man.
The courage to live is not far-fetched from the courage to end life. It’s like the illustration of a drunkard who had two sons, one of the sons ended up a drunkard, and the other hated to drink. Yet, there are people who drink and are not drunkards. Nevertheless, Aristotle in his theory of justice was right asserting that, mean lies in the middle which is why no one should uphold any two extremes.
Life itself is gift that must be nurtured every day and like the medical experts say, “you are what you eat” so is Life! Life becomes what you feed it with. Always diagnose life, participate because everyone is participating, participate because it’s what your life needs; it doesn’t mean you are taking life too seriously, it’s having respect for your own life.
What penetrates a life are things one has unconsciously permitted, they sneak in and like cancer spread, dominate and take over the being. Unfortunately, the effects and results usher in voices that speak louder than other voices; at this point, one will not be able to understand why these things happen. Often times, they begin to seek help which they may not find early enough pending on the sources.

People have survived suicide, some have been drowned by the force. To survive requires a stronger force. A suicide victim in her suicide note read: “my parents spend seventy-thousand naira on my monthly treatment, the medications I get only suppress my reactions and actions but do not stop the voices in my head”. Before you pull out the sword of all scientific approaches, think about what those voices are, don’t just think they need psychiatrists. A few survivors I have interacted with say they got medical help and spiritual help, with more emphasis on the spiritual help.
The gift of taking one’s life is the cheapest exchange for the gift of enjoying the varieties in life rather than an escape it is taken to be. If children and young adults can be mentally and spiritually groomed, they will be on guard and more aware of they let into their lives.
Life is more than what we see, we may not always get what we see, but we can get what we set our minds to achieve if we pay more attention to our internal being than to the external activities around us, setting our minds on the things that matter. The good book admonishes us to set our minds on things that are above. Even the atheist acknowledges something superior which is evident in their doubt of the existence of such being. Look unto Jesus, the author and the finisher of our faith.

As long as we are limited by time and space, we will not have all the answers we desire but we can survive through life with peace of mind.
Life is a gift you have to live, death is an experience for mortal bodies don’t give away that gift to the cold hands of death! Don’t be too desperate to meet ends, live life first.
NEVER LIVE BY THE ROPE!!!

JUNGLE JUSTICE AND VALUE FOR HUMAN LIFE

written by Odilichukwu Frances

A global village has the world become since the advent of the technological revolution and one of its offsprings, the social media, makes the dissemination of information very easy.

An incident which happened in Calabar has it that a man, whose dignified labour was accompanied by daily drenching of his clothes in profuse beads of sweat, acquired a motorcycle. He constantly enjoyed the service from his mechanical property until on Monday, March 25, 2019, a robber stealthily assailed him and tried to deprive him of it. He was activated by the adrenaline and energetically resisted the robber. Perplexed at how resilient the owner of the property was, the robber bathed him with fuel, set him ablaze and breezed out with the motorcycle. The police and others around went after him. He was caught and arrested while a few onlookers put out the fire on the resilient man and rushed him to the hospital.

On Tuesday, March 26, 2019, a throng of vexed individuals stormed the police station where the culprit was kept in custody, sought him out and burned him alive. When it was inquired of the crowd, by a few onlookers, the reason behind their setting ablaze the man and not letting anyone rescue him, they explained that the man whom he set ablaze the previous day kicked the bucket thirty minutes ago and they couldn’t let him die without avenging his death. The sympathizers walked away dumbfounded.

Various media could tag those avengers. A few people think the robber got what he deserved. The law, however, could find both parties guilty.

When we look through the lens of Thomas Hobbes’ ‘state of nature’, we see that he described human life as short, nasty, brutish, and wicked as a result of man’s self-centeredness. We may be right to claim that these men were blameless going by what the robber did. It was for the value of human life, and to salvage occurrences like the one above, that the likes of John Locke and Jean Jacque Rousseau introduced the general will, liberalism, social contract, democracy and similar forms of government.

Rousseau said, “I give up my rights, all men give up theirs and we choose one man who also give up his and we give him our rights as we saddle him with the responsibility to defend us” (my paraphrase). This was the beginning of ‘the government for the people’.

Jacque further explained that everyone could opine but to build a lawful society, every community should have a representative. Trust must be found in this social contract, responsibility must be taken, and the leader must be for the people. Perhaps that’s why he asserted: “man is free but is everywhere in chains, hence the more power man has, more chains are bound to him”. For a man who understands himself a steward to the people will not parade himself with shoulders high; he rather would dutifully shoulder his responsibilities and avoid damnation.

The series of events in Nigeria leading to the 2019 presidential election ‘til this moment paints a picture of the brutish state of nature in the country where strength was seen to be inflicting pain on others, coveting what others own. Those who lacked the physical strength in the words of Karl Marx found solace in religion. The only difference as it relates to Nigeria is the masking of the ‘state of nature’ in the frame of democracy.

It is no news that citizens, in some parts of the country, express their anger through jungle justice. Maybe the government should officially announce to all that we are back to the ‘state of nature’ and that jungle justice is the real deal so that no one is taken unawares anymore; so that no one reposes trust in the legal system and security agencies only to be disappointed.

Patriotism is nevertheless a call we must all answer. For its sake, let every man in his corner, at his pace and time strive to attain the lofty heights of peace; work together to remind the government of the social contract and that breaching it has consequences!
