In those circumstances, when ones faith is pushed to the limit. In that moment when ones power fail. Just like that moment after Peter had denied Jesus and Peter wept bitterly because of his fickleness.

There are certain bad character traits that one easily accuses people of without really looking inward to see if one is affected by such. It is so easy to see others fault while our own Achilles continues to thrive. 

One of the biggest problems of Nigeria is religion. Religion has helped devalued human capital and leadership. Coming from my constituency I can say boldly that over 90% of our local churches operate at a mediocre level. Leadership in the church is about using mediocre and incompetent people to rule over the good and competent people. 

GEJ and his bunch of foot soldiers have realised agonisingly that it takes unprecedented rigging for them to return to office. They are plotting the scheme but you know what, you are too small. I say it again you are too small. Nigeria will swallow you guys alive.

Hofstede’s attempt to teach cultural difference in a developed world was met with resistance. Where colonial masters and the first set of multinational companies went, they imported their own culture claiming to have a standardised system than the locals. 

The art of communication involves the equal and opposite action of talking and listening. Both are very simple on the surface but are complex in reality because talking is not just verbal communication while listening involves more than just hearing the word but the tone, the pitch, the body language, the uncommunicated word, the restriction of closeness of contact. 

From Day 1 of GEJ, Nigeria never had a C in C. The military told us they can’t protect us and guarantee a safe election, who did they run the story by?  The election has been postponed for six weeks and what the army and the C in C cannot fix in four years, they expect to fix in six week. The postponement is another index of incompetence on the part of GEJ. GEJ and his team have set us on a bad path, precedence and history. They leave the legal space in turmoil as they leave little room for legal manoeuvring when there is any contingency in the election. Whether the election holds today or on the 28th March, GEJ and team have desecrated our constitution. Nigeria is no longer a single constituency for the presidential election. On the issue of security GEJ does not deserve a single more day in office. Should GEJ be re-elected then by 2019 i doubt if we would be able to hold the polls in Nigeria. GEJ not only deserve to be voted out he needs to face a criminal court on the ch...

Secret sin is almost a common phenomenon in the life of an average Christians and the damaging effect is unquantifiable.   There are endless list of secret sins and many of them are not easily discovered by people around while some of them can easily be detected through symptoms.   Secret sin makes one live a double life which has great effect on one’s social interaction and intelligence.  

One of the most commonly used words when things work in people’s favour is coincidence. Two or more acts that combines to deliver the goods! Coincidence does not however mean something good happened; it could be the occurrence of bad, but the sequence of event that makes us really belief that life is full of coincidence whether good or bad.

Because iniquity will abound the love of many shall wax cold. The love of millions waxes cold by the day because salvation is not forthcoming. Those who had hope for a long time that those things will turn out for good but because when the Lord is not forthcoming the righteous lay his hand on iniquity.

The meanings of certain words, clichés’ etc., do not hit some people until later in life. There are many words that fly around and how many of them can one really take note of? But when the realities of life sink into many of us and these words come to convey deep meanings as one take time to think deeply and reflect. Then it is possible to recount the words, their impact and the consequence of not understanding those words and sayings early in life. Time and experience indeed are great teachers. Talent is never enough to navigate the whims and caprices of life. It takes gut, determination, persistence and sometimes some slice of luck.

Sometimes in life one becomes trapped in certain situations where one feels helpless. Even the ardent of atheist cry to God for help and in most cases God do come through for us.
