Battles of Life

We can either live life fighting for everything that is not right or stay calm and allow God to fight our battles and enjoy living life.

  1. God is the reason for living. We lack the locus standi to engage in or win any battle, whatsoever; and with God, we can never lose.

*...AND THE PRESIDENT CAME*

11 June 2021 06:26am With nostalgic feelings, I recall how beautiful it was growing up in the 70s. So many activities to remember and look forward to. One of them was the visit of the President. For whatever reason, ...and the President came. The preparation to welcome the President was like none other. Children were made to line the streets of the major Roads in their school uniforms, just to welcome the President, catch a glimpse of him, proudly waving the green white green flag of the Federal Republic of Nigeria...and the President came. I recall how my mom of blessed memory, would iron my brown khaki uniform, bring out the whitest of all my socks (in retrospect, I think she used to keep a particular pair of white socks for the visit of the President🤔), polish my brown Cortina shoes shining like a beautiful mirror, you could almost see yourself in them, as you walk majestically in them, all eyes on you as...and the President came. Beautiful! She would say after looking at her ha

Parents, Plan for your Old Age

 Dear Parents, The time for you to prepare and plan for your tomorrow is now, if you haven’t started. Pls do not rely on any child for your old age, no matter how much you may have sacrificed or are still sacrificing for them because unlike us, the children these days do not have space for their parents in their future plans! If you happen to be one of the lucky few, congratulations, but do not be caught napping! It’s better to be safe than to be sorry.  It’s all about them! Only about them!

No matter what you do or how much sacrifice you make, they believe it’s their right and most of them believe that they owe you nothing in return as you are simply performing your parental roles. A child once said to me “I didn’t beg my parents to bring me into this world”. Another one whose

WORDS

 WORDS Spoken words can indeed be powerful. Like an egg, once broken can never be put together again. It would have done all the damages and even the ones you didn't imagine or envisaged. I woke up this morning and thought about all the words that have been spoken to me in the past twelve months. (I dare not go back to childhood memories) Some made me, some memorable, some to hurt me, some to make me feel less human. Some to make me look and feel unimportant, unreliable and possibly below expectations. In all of these, I did something significant... I took them all in, internalised them, sieve off the shaft and moved with the encouragements from those who truly know how powerful WORDS can be. To be able to get to the level where you shake off all negative words, pls LOVE YOURSELF! VALUE YOURSELF and KNOW YOUR WORTH! A lot of people lack self value so, can never value any other person no matter how hard you try.  I am not a man-pleaser but God pleaser so I may therefore not be good
