The killings in Southern Kaduna is something to lament over. It calls for a rethink and an evaluation.  In. a country where there is no war, yet the number of deaths that has been recorded since the year began is alarming.  The big question one should ask himself is "are these terrorists richer or stronger than the entirety of the military government?". However, these persons live in a community;  they have siblings and family members.  Personally,  I sense a hidden agenda somewhere. I am not a person who is drawn to the mass media but this recent scenario has drawn my attention seriously. The untold killings in the north has never been addressed pragmatically by the governors concerned.  This is more unlike a tribal or a religious war. Recently,  a Pastor by the name Dr Paul Enenche gave an insightful message on this current phenomenon. He lamented that though Nigerians constitute best brains in different nations of the world, in that, one out of ev...

Our society today is so obsessed with titles, especially the third world nations. To some, it is an accurate measure  of their true worth. Hence, there is the drive to obtain more certification in other to amass titles of all sorts.  More so, there are persons that will never answer you because you never addressed them with their appropriate titles. However, Bishop David Oyedepo made a clear difference between the two. And I think the difference is good to know and best if it is applied.  While browsing through the internet, I came across one of Bishop David Oyedepo's sermons,  where he differentiated these two concepts.  Video link Bishop David Oyedepo  is the president of the Living Faith Church Worldwide, also known as Winners Chapel. He is one of those preachers whose name is worth associating with. He started that the values that a man generates is what enhances his worth, title notwithstanding.  In other words, it is not y...

Notwithstanding, here is a transcript of it: "The ones that has swags. The yahoo yahoo boys as my son will say, are the role models  they are looking up to today. These are the ones who reinforce negative societal behaviors and values. This is a travesty of an unfolding tragedy for us. Why have I spent the time talking on fatherless homes and the impact that it has on our children? Well, the truth of the matter, is that an irresponsible boy tends to become an irresponsible man, and it is therefore a vicious cycle.  If you plant cocoyam, you cannot harvest plantain. It affects not only our homes and culture, our cultural and traditional values and structures...

Pastor  Enenche is the founder of the Dynamis International Gospel Church with her headquarter in Abuja. Recently, the clergy gave a redefinition to the concept of Christianity. In his two minutes video, he asked salient questions that we must profer answers to if our journey as Christians will be a fruitful one. To save the stress of downloading the video, I did the transcription of it below : "What is the Essence Of Christianity? What is Christianity all about? What is the use of going to church? What is the product of going to church? There are many in church today, for many reasons. There are many today in church, merely for religious activity. That is an activity- I belong to a church, my church, my pastor,just normal activity. There are those in church today for maybe as a part of social activity as well.  And there are those in church, in search of miracle, the problems of life being too much. So let me go and let God help me. So you will see ver...

Pastor Joseph Adelakun (formerly Amusa Adelakun) was born on the 12th of June, 1949 into a Muslim family in Oyo state, Nigeria. His father was an devoted Muslim who married five wives and gave birth to sixteen children. The mother of Amusa Adelakun was the fourth wife and he was the only son that the mother gave birth to. Though he is from a large family, his father was a highly disciplined and also a wealthy man. Pastor Adelakun always go out to hawk foodstuffs at a very young age. This was not because of poverty but as a way of training. Moreover, he was a very intelligent young boy. Moreso, life became very tough for him and the family at large when his father died on the 7th of August, 1964. He was barely fifteen years old then. Hence, he couldn't continue his education due to financial hardship. Then he was told to do an apprenticeship in Kareem Electrical Engineering Service. He did his apprenticeship for two years (that is 1966-1968). Though he was from a very disciplined ho...

Yesterday is in the tomb (that is, it cannot come back or be changed), today is in your hand (that is, you can still do something about it) while tomorrow is in the womb (that is, your current happenings can influence it). Everyone has a past, either positive or negative. If it is a negative past, it can hinder your present living. Hence, making you recycle regrets, pains and sorrows. Most times,  we just wish we can turn back the hand of time and do the needful, but it can't be done. Persons who had a negative past have every tendency to be drawn to them seeing that they have gotten some level of enlightenment now. But let me assure you that the best thing to do your past is to bury it and I will give your some proven steps in this article. If you don't bury your past and let it remain dead, soon your past will bury both your today and tomorrow. Life is a journey with a daily allocation of burdens. You need to free your backs each day  so as to be able to shoulder...

 The Catholic Reverend sister in the above picture was reported to have left the convent in a bid to marry the love of her life. The pictures below shows her traditional marriage. By deduction, the husband is a police officer as you can see below. Truthfully speaking, her decision to leave the convent is quite commendable. In the sense that, it is better to be married than burn in lust. Being a celibate (that is one who deliberately decides not to marry) or a eununch is a call by God. When one is called to be a Kingdom Eunuch, the grace to stay as such will be provided. One should never venture into sacred or Divine office without the grace to stand there. It is for this singular reason that we have fake ministers and ministries everywhere. Furthermore, sincerity is the key to going far in life. This Reverend sister was very sincere with herself. She didn't allow others with the call to deceived her. She knew that though we are doing ...
