… beauty is vain, but a woman that feareth the Lord, she shall be praised (Proverbs 31:30) Beauty, as it is often said, is in the eyes of the beholder. Our society is in a confused state as to how a woman should look. On the one hand, some say we should be true to ourselves, that size and looks do not matter and on the other hand, magazines focus on women who are physical ly beautiful, with beautiful breasts and spotless faces.  In the church as well, the issue of how a woman should look has brought a lot of confusions.  Beauty can be categorized into two – the outer beauty (shape, colour, facial look, height, body size and weight), and the inner beauty (personality, character, charm, heart etc.).  No woman is ugly; every woman is unique and beautiful in her own way. The inner beauty is always the best beauty because it radiates from the inside and reflects on the outside.  The true beauty of a woman does not come from looking ...

Love is not a feeling as many people believe it is; it is a choice to be with someone regardless of who he or she is, how badly behaved the person is, etc. Love is pain. And sacrifice, but it’s also the most beautiful thing in the world when it’s real and reciprocated. Imagine someone knowing everything about you. Everything, even the small things. The things you are embarrassed about and don’t want anyone to know. Imagine messing up, and even letting that person down. They forgive you. They are wise enough to read between the lines of the situation, and they don’t judge you for it. They love you. Truly there is no fear in love according to the Bible and I cannot help but wonder why people claim they love someone but are afraid of losing the one they claim to love. Anyone who is afraid to lose you is not in love with you. Love is powerful, love is crazy. Love and fear are not classmates or co-equals. Where love can travel to, fear cannot. What love can do, fear cannot. Love ...

After the official announcement of results from 34 states and the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) by INEC, President Muhamadu Buhari, the canditate of the All Progressives Congress emerged as the winner of the presidential elections after getting 14,602,455 votes as against the 10,663,584 votes of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) candidate, Atiku Abubakar. He will serve another four years. However, the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) has rejected the results of the election accusing INEC of manipulations of the polls, and has taken the matter to court. Will they win? Time will tell. Also there has been mixed feelings and reactions of Nigerians on the conduct of the elections which was marred by violence across the nation and collation of the result.   

"Make The Corpse Walk" was a book title made popular by that prolific writer of my time, James Hardly Chase. "The Man Died" was the title of that master piece by our own Wole Soyinka. A book some people described as unreadable because of its high level prose and intellectual content looking into the future. Combining the two titles I find myself in South Africa! There a man "died", his coffin polished to shine beyond the glitz of all the lights around. A deceitful man moves his hands over and above his torso like a magician in the mold of the famous Prof. Peller, that Nigerian who made a success of that trade that I have never understood the mythology. These South African guy men, one in the coffin and the one standing didn't control the scrutiny of the lenses of the cameras even as the dead man was struggling to breath through suffocating woolen balls in his nostrils. The video is just a tragedy. Then suddenly the abrac...

A 19 year old boy, Daniel Usman reportedly lost his life in Kogi State yesterday while exercising his civic responsibility at the polls. It was reported that he was hit by a stray bullet while waiting to cast his vote and died on the spot. So sad indeed. Below are some screenshots of his posts shortly before the elections: A concerned citizen took to his twitter page and has this to say; May his soul rest in Peace!

Finally the 2019 Presidential, Senatorial and House of Representatives' Elections took place in almost all parts of the federation yesterday 23rd February, but not without some very irresponsible actions and violence by both the security agents who were supposed to protect citizens, and some party hoodlums leaving some bitter tastes in our mouths. Elections in some states have been postponed to a later date as a result of some irregularities which would be announced by the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC). We await the results of the elections from INEC as we hope for a better Nigeria!

This last Saturday, February 16,  2019 will go down as a day every conceivable negative reaction hit most Nigerians, home and in diaspora who had wished the elections held. From shock to disbelief, disappointment to anger, dismay to sadness you name it. Some feelings were bottled up in a mix of emotions hard for the carriers to describe. Now we are in a new week, a week of hopeful polls as promised by INEC. It's a second pregnancy for a nation in just 7 days and that's quite unnatural for the wellbeing of a nation. I do not know of any creature that is pregnant twice in one week. I remember the late iconic Artist, about the best this nation has produced. The late Prof. Ben Enweonwu in one of the interviews he granted in the late 80's to The Guardian Newspaper, where he said something that generated a lot of controversy, of which he defended until all the contrasting views petered. He had said that: "pregnancy is a distortion of beauty, much as its natural...

A popular blogger and a mother of one, 38-year Linda Ikeji who stays in a highbrow area in Lagos, Banana Island yesterday flaunted her collection of cars which include; a Range Rover, a Mercedez Benz and also a Bentley which is close to a N100 million. She went to her instagram page on sunday (yesterday) and wrote: "Little girl problem. Wondering which car to drive out in today... Seriously, nothing beats having money of your own. #toosweet!" Money is good, no doubt!

Veteran actor, Baba Suwe is said to be seriously sick, and there are speculations that he might not make it if help does not get to him on time. Inside sources alleged Babatunde Omidina a.k.a. Baba Suwe's problem started after his arrest and humiliation for alleged drug smuggling by the NDLEA; and that he has never remained his lively self since then. Recall three years ago, Yomi Fabiyi brought the story of his unknown sickness to limelight, but many of his colleagues failed to help. According to information gathered, no one among Baba Suwe’s friends and professional colleagues was willing to help solve his deteriorating health challenge. According to a Lagos broadcaster who pleaded anonymity, “Baba Suwe is a good man. None of his people can say that he is bad. They chose not to help him not because he behaved badly to them, but because they care only about themselves and their families. That’s the nature of our actors, there is no exception. However, if, God forbid, h...

Its the wee hours of the election day that never held. The sun takes its course to set, as it has been from creation. Day must dovetail into the night to allow the creatures of darkness rear forth their heads. They wait, getting ready to start their own day in the night. Life as a matter of fact must move on for the living. Even the immobile things like the rocks, the surface of the earth and objects must release some energy they took from the sun. It's not theirs for keeping. It's called cooling effect, but empirical science explains it further. Science claims that what is lost is gained. INEC postpones elections Many people and institutions got hit. But in that sphere of social and political sciences did we gain the day that we just lost to incompetence and unpreparedess? No accounting firm in the entire wide world can calculate the loss Nigeria went through today. Politicians are focused on, because they were to have their show today, just as parties who must ha...

It is another important time in our history as a nation, when another government emerges, or the incumbent takes over the affairs of this country for another four years. Every NIGERIAN is enjoined as a civic responsibility to be a part of this history once again. The right people will not win election when believers refuse to participate in politics. Prayer is good, but prayer points do not count, only your votes count during elections! Go out to vote on election Day DO NOT SIT AT HOME. Vote right, vote wisely, do NOT SELL your votes.  Say NO to RIGGING, VOTE BUYING and VIOLENCE!!! God bless Nigeria!

A few days ago, Nigerians received the news of another fire outbreak at Anambra State office of the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC), a container where ballot papers and card readers were kept for Saturday, February 16th general elections. This happened few days after news of fire incidents at INEC of two different states. News making the rounds suggests that these incidents might be politically motivated. The question is, what could the motive behind it if the insinuations are true?

Any VOTE CAST WITH the THUMB is VOID (canceled) vote...! Pls, don't only read this.. SHARE for many would-be Voters to be aware. The DESTINY OF THIS NATION is Now in our Warning or Prophetic Finger..!

Nobody will disagree or argue with the fact that men and women are never the same physically, mentally, psychologically, emotionally and many other ways. In my book, “The Real you…”, I mentioned that understanding the differences between individuals make relationships more interesting and less strenuous, and the differences are probably good… The physical differences between men and women are obvious, can be seen and easily measured. Weight, size, shape, colour and anatomy are tangible and easily measured – men have greater upper strength (what we refer to as six packs), build muscle easily, have thicker skin which makes them bruise less easily, they are built for physical confrontation and use of force with joints well suited for throwing things/objects. A man’s skull is thicker and stronger than a woman’s, which makes them more ‘thick-headed’ than women. Women on the other hand have like four times as many brain cells (neurons) connecting the right and left side of the brain un...
