STATE OF EMERGENCY ON THE NIGERIAN VALUE SYSTEM!

We live in a country where we respect thieves and looters. The source of a man's wealth is not scrutinized. We worship and honour thieves especially if they are politicians. I need to speak to my Igbo people from the east, it is more common to find people in that part of the country worshipping fradulent people because of money, many times ill gotten wealth. But it is even spreading to other parts of the country now. Every Nigerian youth wants to be in entertainment. They do not value enterprise anymore. Nobody is willing to start small and grow to become big. Everybody wants quick money.
But true and lasting success take time. First you plant the seed, then you water it and allow it to grow to maturity. Not only does this kind of success give you peace of mind, in the final analysis of everything, it's the only kind of success that guarantees wholeness and completeness. Evil may seem to triumph now but it's only for a short while.
It's so bad today that it is common to find people using the bible to justify evil. Even today, pastors collect tithe from and pray for thieves and prostitutes. They call it grace and find different bible quotations to encourage evil. But no matter how they try, even those who have become role models when they have no virtue in their lives would soon realize the futility of deceiving people with pretense of piousness.
I therefore urge you to continue to work hard and believe and wait for the right time to succeed because true success, the kind described in the holy scriptures is the only kind that gives you a truly fulfilled life.

THE FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION IN THIS GOVERNMENT: REAL OR SELECTIVE

President Muhammadu Buhari's selling point coming into the 2015 general elections was his would-be fight against corruption which many Nigerians said was Nigeria's biggest problem and which the international community also said was Nigeria's bane of development. His reelection in 2019 also echoed the same thing although many Nigerians were of course saying they had seen his true colours. In this government's fight against corruption, so much has been witnessed. There have been several convictions of high profile politicians but only people not at the core of the government or those who do not share the same religion with the president. Many embarrassing cases have been swept under the carpet like those of the former secretary to the government of the federation, the reinclusion of a wanted former government official (who was answering for his crimes as ex pensions boss) in this government,  most recently the appointment of a former politician who was tried in court for...

FREE LEAH SHARIBU!

My heart bleeds as I write this. I'm literally weeping as I pen this down but I know that there is hope. The existence of God tells me so. It's been over a year since this girl was abducted alongside her school mates but while others were freed, Leah Sharibu remains in custody for refusing to denounce her faith and convert forcefully to Islam, the religion of the dreaded boko haram sect. What bothers me is the silence of the Muslim community and powerful leaders across the world on this matter. What I don't understand is why people cannot call a spade a spade. Why cannot they come out to speak out against mindless religious radicalism , oppression and persecution of Christians all over the world? What efforts have been made to free Leah Sharibu and others like her still in captivity? How long will this continue?  I think it's a decision world leaders need to make on the benefits of Islam to mankind. Honestly speaking,  world over the only people guilty of terroism are...

LOVE IS OVERRATED

We often mistake lust for love and many people mistake infatuation for true love. So many people preach that if you are no longer happy in a marriage then you should just call it quits. How about telling people to remember what made them happy in the first place and work on getting back to that place. A man wakes up in the morning and tells his wife he wants a divorce because he has fallen in love with someone else even when children are involved. The fact that you once proposed marriage to a person means you once considered her above every woman, how then do you discover years into the marriage that you love another? Especially after having kids. You probably have seen a slimmer woman or a pretty face or a sexy woman and concluded that you now have a new love. The desire for something new is not usually love but an attraction which can be classified as lust or infatuation. Any time you put your new flame above your children, then you know that you are deep in lust. Sex is an integra...
