Nigeria has a lot of Problems, Here's a Solution


One thing has brought us together and all have found a way to express that one thing. That element was, is and would remain love. Love has brought all of mankind together and more importantly it has brought about various relationships that we know of today, from bilateral relationships between nations to alliances between states to marriages and more basic friendship. 

All relationships might have another publicly known reason but the primary reason all have come together in the first place is love. Then all of these various relationships are quite important but on a deeper look we can say that the most important one of above listed forms of expressions of love is friendship.

You could find the above strange but let’s break it down, all marriages started out with the couples being friends; every bilateral relationship also has an element of friendship attached to it too. Having backed our claims, it is understood that the importance of friendship cannot be over emphasized but we can only try to further entrench the core values of friendship to further have the peace we all sorely desire.
In a nation like ours, there seem to be so much love yet there is so much war and that gets to me so much, and the reason is not farfetched as it is due to the fact that I always realize how much that next soul is important to me as my friend.

Enmity seeks to break us by showing us how sufficient we seem to be and how much independent we are hence we do not need the next person, that in itself is the biggest façade you would ever be sold because the creator made all things to have a positive impact on its immediate environment, hence that person you want to take as an enemy have an important role to play in your life. Do not take lightly the hand of friendship extend it as it is as important as life itself.

In a world where you’re worth your network we all know how much your friends could enrich you but when friendship is based on the material gains and finance that could be gotten from each other, we all have gotten it wrong, no matter the gains it might seem to have, friendship is a game governed by love and sacrifice to ensure that all become a winner at the end. A relationship that put the gains before the person is exploitation and not friendship. All friends should be able to negotiate love and peace between themselves and by that seek peace for their nation at large. This brings good answer to my question asked at the very beginning that if there is so much love why is there so much war? Here it is. We do not love ourselves here, we only love the things we want to get from each other, hence we all see each other as an opportunity to make it hence we do not hesitate to put our supposed friend in jeopardy as far as we are satisfied with something doing do. 

Friends keep themselves, as human race we are so much losing credence in relationship in ourselves as a lot are now seeking solace in animals such as dogs as they have been found to love and remain loyal to their lords than the lord’s supposed friends. Do we want to restore parity in our world, do we want peace that we have lost for a long while now, do we want to once again want to see ourselves as brothers like it once was, I think we know what to do and if we do not know what to do can we read again to find out? Yes please.

Go to Church, You don't Know Why?, Here's One Reason


From the day I stepped foot in Ekiti state, it felt like the worst decision I've made in my life as things have not kind of turned out as I planned, being happy and carefully observing the daily turnout of things. It's like it's getting worse, yet I have not been one day sad.
There came today with a gush of hope but unusually I got sad, I'd been mentally weak, all I wanted to do all through today is to sleep, wake, eat, play games and repeat. Wow, what a yearning after all I'm a normal guy living to make my life and others around mine better hence I should have moments like this, let's just that I was a witness to Bruno Mars' Lazy song (what a funny thing to witness abi). 
Correct, yes but today came with gush of unhappiness with that feeling, it was like I wanted to use those things to shield myself from impending shutdown, around 5pm it dawned on me that all of those I did earlier hadn't helped me feel better. 
Sought escape in football but Arsenal made my already bad day worse, in fact let me use this chance to tell the big Arsenal guys to fire our manager. 
I called my woman, she says I should pray but within me I knew that I never needed that too (prayer is a great tool out of all these, but my case needs more than just asking God to take it away like that), then I proceeded to worshipping with the brethren, voilà like magic after 10 minutes of sincere worship, the burden was down and subtly heard that I have brought you here not to leave you but take you to the point I've designed, don't shake just trust.
I don't know who needs to see this, as we all are meant to be preparing for our place of service and you don't know why you should even attend, here's one reason and in case you need to hear it plain, God still works wonders in the fellowship of His children...
Selah...
