There has to be a separate time for a review of ones achievements. That time is spent on one corner.

Fast and Furious kind of beat starts roars from the speakers for about a minute, and then the verse intro and verse of the sing goes thus: Chorus
Wo bɛ ti piii
One corner one corner one corner
ɛyɛ payy
One corner one corner one corner x4
Mr. Loyalty
Me se ding dong ding dong
Me bɔ me dong dong
Response: Ding dong ding dong
Me bɔ me dong dong
Me se ping pong ping pong
Me bɔ me ping ping
Response: Ping pong ping pong
Me bɔ me ping ping
Me se ding dong ding dong
Ma me bɔ me dong dong
Response: Ding dong ding dong
Ma me bɔ me dong dong

I laughed in Spanish, as my friends would quip, at the song that was amazingly meaningless to me yet, the lyrics of the popular hit single in Nigeria, rocked every party with that title “ONE CORNER” astonishingly the song is often played in street corners too just as it’s title implies.

But just yesterday, I stumbled on the waves of the song again as I walked down home in slow, but calculated steps. And the title “ONE CORNER” struck my tympanic membrane, sending waves of new meanings to my brain. I reminisced almost everything about my life, particularly from January this year, till this moment. My mind boomed with the bittersweet fact, that there really is that “ONE CORNER” for everything. A baby is formed in “ONE CORNER” of a woman’s body called the womb. A writer has “ONE CORNER” where he or she is at his or her best, in doling out inspiring and world class content, which would in most cases be a quiet and serene place. At “ONE CORNER” called a church, Christians gather to communicate with the Almighty God. The Muslims, at the mosque. On “ONE CORNER” of the brain is the hypothalamus, which is the seat of knowledge and wisdom. Relationships are made at “ONE CORNER” which could be at a bar, beach, in the streets, and often times lead to marriage in “ONE CORNER” which is the home.

If you are a husband, and you didn’t run your home well, before 2017 ends, go to ONE CORNER, reshuffle and reinforce your plans for 2018. If you are a nagging wife, please kindly go to ONE CORNER and reform your mind, shed off useless company, and join the bandwagon of dignified wives as you cruise into the new year. Are you a writer, business man or woman, entrepreneur? Are you looking for tips, inspiration and motivation to start off and climax in your career? I refer you to ONE CORNER in OPEN and SMARTBCAMP groups on ONE CORNER of Facebook where you will meet people with revolutionary ideas to make you successful for 2018.

And always note, that even in non – SENSE, there is SENSE, in disADVANTAGE, there is an ADVANTAGE. In the seemingly useless song of paatapata or so, the guy calls himself, my subconscious mind brought out the gold from ONE CORNER of the dirt. Banana peels were once waste materials until it was discovered it could cure acne. Yam pills were a nuisance till it was discovered that it was a tasty snack for goats. I bet most people never knew that egg shells is effective in blood pressure control.

Have that ONE CORNER where you make your dreams come true . Source for ONE CORNER where you maximise the use of available opportunities.

Words of advice from ONE CORNER of my room.

Merry Christmas in advance.....

One would need more bodies to attempt to go to more than one corner in a square or rectangular room or even on a square or rectangular block. One might need less in a triangular shaped room or block.

On the other hand, in a round room, there are no corners. The story goes that the man went crazy in a round barn because there were no corners for him to pee in. ;-)

I'm sure that is a catchy tune.
