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 Muslims. Not enough as far as I am concerned has been done to disasuade radicals from continuing to perpetuate acts of terroism. The Islamic community who claim Islam is a "religion of peace" have kept quiet while heinous crimes are commited on a daily basis in the name of Islam. Why can't their religious leaders pass a secular across the Islamic world denouncing terrorism and distancing the religion of Islam from it. The rest of the world is afraid of Islam not knowing what you would say that would  provoke them to violence and they don't need to be provoked twice. Like a spoilt child, they have continued to throw tantrums everytime somebody "offends" their religion. A good number of them are often violent, if not physically then with their body language. Question is "are we going to continually live at the mercy of those who think they are doing somebody a favour by killing people who have "offended" their religion"? How long will these continue? If Muslims cannot co-exist peacefully with others, then they should go to another planet and live on their own. The world does not belong to them neither does it revolve around them.
Enough is enough!

WAR ROOM

A beautiful movie showing us the love of God and His ever standing faithfulness to His children. Elizabeth and Tony Jordan were two  successful people who were religious but hadn't known what it was like for God to minister unto them. They had a big house, nice jobs, with Tony as a pharmaceutical salesman and Elizabeth as a realtor. They  had a daughter called Danielle. Despite the wealthy lifestyle, Tony was cold towards his family. He refused to give money to his wife's sister and was verbally abusive towards her. He treated Danielle no less than a property gotten from one  of his illegal deals.

NYSC AND THE TALES OF FREE SEX

I remember when I went for youth service and the shock I had when i realized what was going on around me. Married girls were freely having sex with younger boys. Girls were being laid for something as cheap as buying them suya. It was horrific. This was in camp. After camp, boys were living with girls in their lodges.

FELA KUTI WAS VISIONARY, PHILOSOPHICAL, AND A PATRIOT

Honestly, I am barely a Fela fan but the events of these few months make his thoughts unforgettable. On Friday last week after work, I circled with my friend around the city of Owerri and was got by rain around World Bank junction, suddenly we realized that the roads were impassable, my friend turned back and parked the car. Because it was getting late I was forced to walk or better still swim across the
