AJÌJÀGBARA {Combatant}
The Liberation of Man from his Illusionary Chains...Man's tussle for Uhuru (freedom)
[N.B: √This article might be comprehended only by people

√Every individual is a combatant in a way or another, combating for or against one thing or another per time and per season.]
Ajìjàgbara!
In vehement vociferation is the outcry;
How much longer will you keep subsisting in lamentations and depression!
How much longer will you keep moaning and groaning in melancholia_even, in a seasonal affective disorder!
Ajìjàgbara!
O what an ignominy it is that you have forgotten your essence
How is it that you contend and scuffle for external freedom while ignoring the freedom within
How, O man, is it that you keep contesting and skirmishing in futility and frivolousness
Ajìjàgbara!
How is it that you allow the mere created and the ephemeral to pluck at your heart strings
O how groping and myopic man is to seek felicity from the extraneous rather than to live on the ecstasy which is in extravagance inwardly
Ajìjàgbara!
How much longer will you keep tussling and wrestling, merely beating the air in pessimism and futility of vanity
How is it that you neglect the battle that you ought to fight
Know ye not that the war is within?
Ajìjàgbara!
Albeit it is said that "man is born free but everywhere in chains"
But how much longer do you want to live by this?
How much longer do you want this to define who you are?
How much longer do you want to live in the chains?
Indeed you seem to have made the "illusionary chains" your best life and eternal companion.
How is it that you have so much belittled your strength?
How is it that you are shortsighted of your intestinal fortitude?
Ajìjàgbara!
Arise and stir up the infantry man within you
Awake and fight the villain within you
Ajìjàgbara!
How disdainful it is to apprehend that you have no other adversary than "self"
Know ye not that only he who conquers "self" overcomes?
Break free from your manacle!
Stop playing "the blame game" and stop living in "bad faith"
Ajìjàgbara!
You have no other archenemy or antagonist than "self"
Nothing but "self" can hinder you from being fulfilled in this your human existence
Stop blaming others for the shape your life has taken!
Stop playing "the regret game"!
Ajìjàgbara!
Are you gonna take a nap or siesta with crossed legs, folded arms and with a cup of cappuccino beside you while you ought to combat?!
Awake from your somnolence!
Awake from your state of inactivity!
Allow the warrior in you to wrangle for Uhuru (freedom)!
Ajìjàgbara!
How ecstatic and wonderful it is to realize that though the hominid life seems short, yet it is enjoyable and pleasurable
Resolve now to live your life in "absolute autonomy and immunity", yet with a good sense of discretion
Ajìjàgbara!
Tick-tock says the clock
Time is seemingly running too fast
The days are seemingly passing by so quickly
Years are going by and they are cumulating "sundry forms of ages"
History is perpetually unraveling yet constantly making up itself
Ajìjàgbara!
Act before time runs out
What more? human life is like a vapour
Move before you are moved!
Move circumstances and situations before they move you!
Ajìjàgbara!
There are no chains anywhere except within
Yes! even in your mind
There are neither fetters nor shackles bounding you except the ones permitted by you via your mind
Combat and contend to subsist in "absolute carteblanche" yet with discretion and in prudence!
"Human life is like a coin. You can spend it on anything you want, but you can only spend it once."
Ajìjàgbara!
Ajìjàgbara!!
Ajìjàgbara!!!
