Stop the Nonsense, Now!

When I say 'yes', I am your friend and you adore me. I am the best thing next to sliced bread, abi na Jollof Rice? I am your brother & you cosy up to me.

But when I say 'no'? Wahala don enter. The world stops rotating. In a twinkle, I become the devil incarnate, a bad soul. That is regardless of the million times I had said 'yes' previously.

For money matters, your money is for you to flex & do your own things. Mine is to keep safe for you to borrow or dash you whenever you need it to continue your flexing, and if perchance, I am unable to quickly avail you of the cash, heavens begin to crash. 

In the voice of the popular Nigerian Comedian @mrmacaroni1 'Are you normal?'

Our wants are always bigger than our resources. Na so e be for everybody o regardless of their economic realities – how much money dem get. You go don hear am before - 'Bigman big trouble!' Na N50k be your problem? That Don wey you think say na bottomless pit, 'River that Never Dries' get the problem of N10m wey go swallow your own problems as Moses' snake swallow Pharoah Magicians own for Bible Story.

If our friends help us, make we appreciate am. Often, they have suspended solving their own 'way, way bigger problems' to assist you. If them no fit help, make we chill, them no be our enemy o, them too get their own wahala, no be because them no tell you. And even if them wan enjoy their money small, as you dey do; abeg leave them. Nobody owes us anything!

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

'...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...
