Crows & Ravens


Three Crows, on a roof after the heavy Rains this evening.

I can't tell if it's the dark Roof tiles, the cloudy, rainy evening skyline or just the shadow like figures of these birds,but the scene was just perfect to look at.

I had to make a video, it reminded me of the horror movie (Omen) 1976. First watched the Omen movies probably in 1986 ,but the scene where Damien's evil Crow, attacks a lady and gouged her eyes out, then watch as she gets crushed by a truck, is still somehow ingrained in ones memory many, decades after.



Never been a superstitious person but some birds and animals have caught a horrible reputation, no thanks to  folklore and Hollywood,from Cats to Owls,Bats to  Raven and Crows  many folks have an uneasy /spooky feeling on seeing these creatures.




Thankfully from watching so many,many documentaries. The amazing wildlife and nature documentarian Sir David Attenborough, has shown how Crows  & Ravens are arguably amongst the most intelligent avians. These birds have proven and outstanding problem solving abilities.

2023 into 2024 God's Goodness

2023 it is ending and Thank God, it's NOT the End. Am grateful for the year, goods immeasurable grace and mercies on me. Am trying to reminisce 2023 in my mind's eye as far back as I can possibly remember.  I started the year slowly focused and knowing the things I needed to get done at least for the first quarter. In hindsight now I can say it all worked out really well, at least until it all went crazy.  The national elections came, and I fought, I voted and hoped for a better government to take over at the national level, yet it was stolen right before our very eyes both at the state and national levels.  On a very deep level this crushed hope, that flicker of hope that Nigeria as a country would turn a corner for good this time. Unfortunately not only that the elections was  stolen but it was done in the most brazen, crude and evil manner.  Every institution of state was and is now captured by a thieving political establishment.  It's taken some time bu...

Grateful Reflections

( With Dr Bola Afolabi, Current CIPS President) On the 28 February 2006, I started a tread called Logistics/Supply Chain Management on one of the most popular webforum in Nigeria called Nairaland. Follow link to view postings on this tread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7497.0.html My aim basically was to use the opportunity an online forum can offer, to interact, share and gain ideas, information,network and generally increase awareness of the Procurement, Logistics and Supply chain management profession. This act of sharing my passion for the profession online has over the years sparked off series of positive and constructive events in my career quest, some of which I have reflected upon in the text below. Although my initial undergraduate study and immediate post study working experience were all related to engineering, I soon fall in love with the logistics and SCM profession when in March of 2005 I gained my 1st substantive Job with Integrated Logistics services Nig...
