You Can Get It If You Really Want.

I watched a video on facebook where i saw that Akon the popular R&B singer had signed legal documents with the government of Senegal giving him “Akon” rights to a land mass where he proposes to build his own city.
A city with it’s own airport, transportation system, hotels and businesses and it’s own approved crypto-currency called “Akoin”.
Evidence to the lyrics of the Jimmy Cliff's song, “you can get it if you really want, but you must try”. I have never been so inspired as i am watching the video where Akon himself explained about his visions of his own city being built in his home country Senegal.

I had a heated arguement with a very close friend of mine because he said and i quote “do you know the bullshit Akon had to tolerate from people before he got his city?” But i didn’t quite agree that anyone as wealthy enough to buy the rights to a land mass in his country for the purpose of building a city named after him and designed by him would tolerate any bullshit from any body because as they say “money talks, bullshit walks”
We then speculated about the amount of billions, possibly trillions or quadrillions of dollars would be spent to build a fully functional city with all the works, with renewable energy powering the city like Akon explained. Ideas they say rule the world, and like Jimmy Cliff sang “you can get it if you really want, but you must try, try and try, try and try, you’ll succeed at last”.

Way back in primary and secondary schools, learning to speak fluent English Language, the Additions, Subtractions and further mathematics amongst other subjects. But most outstanding about that time were the songs we sang growing up in school. None of them won any music awards back then and I'm almost certain none would win any now. (Not in the present times we find ourselves living in.) Photo credit: Google images Here's the Lyrics to my favourite song back then: shoutout to all who knows this song. "The day is bright, it's bright and fair, oh happy day, the day of joy. The day is bright, it's bright and fair, oh happy day of joy". Then for the fun of it overzealous persons like myself would scream out "mama jollof rice" just because it pisses off one of the frustrated school teachers whose job it was to try and educate us stubborn youngsters.

"Who the cap fits"-Bob Marley.

Photo credit: Google images Your worst enemies might be the ones you call best friends and your best friends could be your worst enemies. We eat, we drink, we smoke, we dance, we laugh, we talk, we keep our days memorable and our time spent together has become more or less daily rituals. Photo credit: Google images But Bob Marley sang "Who the cap fits" and I listened. Now I keep picturing the cap and imagining it's size and the shape of head of every one of my foes and my allies. Photo credit: Google images The hands on the clock keeps on ticking and I'd only stop telling time when I'm asleep or dead and gone. So who the cap fits would have to wear it, so I can tell of what use they are to me and what purpose they serve for good or for evil.
