Content. Untainted. Uncompromised.

Make you full your belly before you go, before you comot from your house

Ensure you have had a meal, no matter how meagre

Then you will not be enticed by their delicacies

Your decisions will not be tainted by the snare of a rumbling stomach

And you will be telling the truth, When you tell them that you are full

Then you will never long for that which you have renounced

 XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX


Thus we drank garri with groundnut before their parties and Get-togethers

We then appeared as the elitists as we cherry-picked their buffet

And avoided the wild liaisons, which many attended with life-altering consequences, for food

Make you full your belly before you go, before you comot from your house

 

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This applies to all areas of your life

Fill your belly before you go, before you leave your house

Then you will not be enticed by their delicacies

You will not make decisions driven by hunger

 

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Take the measure that is right for you

Legally procured

It may not always be exotic

But if you are prudent, it will always be sufficient and adequate

No desire will make you compromise

Those values you have nurtured so hard and long

 

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

This applies to all areas of your life

The trick is simple: if your belly full, where the extra go enter?

If you no get room, nonsense no go enter

 

If na sex them wan use, no let your wife rest

If na alcohol, drink plenty water or drink ‘burukutu’ or palmie

If na plenty money, make your needs dey very small. No get big eye & get plenty sense, think where e dey all end

 

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

No matter wetin you dey do

Make you full your belly before you go, before you comot from your house

You no go drag food for their party

Them no go fit corrupt you

Your head go always dey high with self pride and respect

Because you no go drag food for them place

All because you full your belly before you go, before you comot from your house

 

Enjoy

Rediscovering the Power of Circles for Growth, Friendship and Purpose

 Have you experienced the power of people working together? “Where two or three are gathered in my name ...”—do you remember that promise? It promises that the greatest power in the universe will be available to them. That is an example of the kind of power that comes when people work together. What troubles and burdens one person is usually not much for 2 people to handle and could even be a joyful challenge to 3 or more people when they share the burden. One of life’s greatest joys is friendship. If you find people who share your values and vision and are willing to work with you, then you are blessed beyond measure. There is enormous power and accomplishment when 2 or more people work together toward a goal with a sense of dedication and commitment. If their purpose is pure, that is, it benefits them and other people and does not harm the world, then you can be sure that unimaginable success is assured. With such unity, nothing is impossible! Working together is pure joy as the ...

Emotions: The Human Superpower We Often Overlook

By -

Emotions - Our Human Super Power! "An emotional response is wrong." "Don't be emotional." Often, when we need to make decisions we say these to ourselves or hear other people say them or some other versions of them.  Emotions are frequently vilified, dismissed as irrational, and relegated to the background in favour of logic and reason. These phrases are thrown around so often that many have come to believe emotions are a flaw—something to suppress, control, or ignore. But have you ever stopped to ask: What is wrong with emotions and emotional responses? Emotions are one of the most defining aspects of being human. Yet, they have been treated as weaknesses, and pushed to the background. People are told to rely only on reason, as if emotions have no value in decision-making. But here’s the truth: both reason and emotions are processed in the brain. Our memories are tied to emotions, stored in every part of our being. So the typical ‘heart refers to emotions’ a...

Lovers of Pleasure or Lovers of God? A Sobering Self-Check

By -

'...lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God....' Verse 4 (1 Timothy 3:1–5) I grew up hearing this scripture regularly read at home, in Christian meetings, and in the ministry. The message was 'God's Kingdom is near’, and this scripture was cited as evidence that we are living in the last days. I came to understand that "lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God" were people who had no place in God’s Kingdom—gluttons destined to perish with this old system. Naturally, I have always thought, "That’s not me. That’s the unbelievers. Bad, despicable people. I remember how they are depicted in the book ‘You Can Live Forever in Paradise on Earth.’  ‘Nde Aworome!’ I could never be counted among them." Tufiakwa! But this morning, as the scripture came to mind again, I reflected on the angels in Noah’s day. They left their proper place to pursue selfish pleasure. Na them! This is a true example of what it means to love pleasure more than God. Plea...
