" Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity "- 2 Timothy 2:19     On the 27th day of June, 2013, the American Supreme Court declared same-sex marriage in the State of California, legal. A victory for sodomy and a fulfillment of the scriptures. With this singular event, the faith of the world is sealed. Political consciousness has replaced spiritual awareness. There is no greater sin unto God like rebellion. It is like witchcraft, a deadly sin. In this post un-like any other, I take up the subject of spiritual suicide. Only a persona non granta will pretend not to recognize the uniqueness of the times we are living in. In this piece, I delve into the realm of the prophetic declaring those things that were written but are now being fulfilled right before our eyes. Perilous times are ahead.   ...

  Question: Do you know why the mice cannot afford to throw big parties? Answer: They don't sell enough tickets.   At the tender age of seven, I had my first itinerant selling experience.  This was during the long holiday.The product was old newspapers. The business owner was my Grandma and I was the vendor. I remember the joy I felt when she finally bowed down to my unflinching demand to go out and sell. She had a house-help whose mandate it was to sell these items. I didn't have to go out but I wasn't going to take no for answer. In this blog post, I hope to share my thoughts on marketing and how selling skills remain a priority skill in the wake of the robotic age. I grew up in a family where both Dad and Mom were bootstrapping entrepreneurs. In those days, my Mom woke up in the early mornings to mix and knead flour and other materials necessary to make snacks. She had a bicycle-boy whose job it was to sell the items...

    " My people perish for lack of knowledge "- Hosea 4 verse 6     Your house is not an asset. These are the maiden words of the book; Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki. A must read. This book continues to top the list of Best Sellers in the class of other influential books like Rick Warren's The Purpose Driven Life. Another must read.  I just finished reading Robert Kiyosaki's Unfair Advantage and you would be correct to say I am intoxicated. This is a secondary feeling having survived the bashing by Robert.  In fact, I feel like a rat. Now, if you are familiar with Robert Kiyosaki, you are sure to relate with the cause of my anguish. Robert can be quite mean in slapping foolishness out of anybody especially unrepentant souls. I have read the Rich Dad Poor Dad and other books by Robert and the reaction has always been epoch. This time around though, there's something different about it. I have ...

      If love was essentially about the good feelings we get when people deserve us then there won't be a big deal about love would it? Leading works on the subject of love make us understand that there are different types of love and that of all types, Unconditional Love; Agape Love is the greatest. Unconditional love is a tough kind of love. Under this arrangement, you are obliged to continue to shower your love on an object whether or not such is deserving. Today is my Father's birthday and I am dedicating this post to him. My father is someone who has hurt me the most in life but I honour him for his difference. I celebrate the grace of God and the opportunity to have a father. My father is a great man.     It is father's day in a couple of days time and my Dad gets to enjoy an early mover advantage that I am about to explore in this post. He deserves everything good that life brings. He doesn't drive a fancy car. Doesn't have a do...

" Woe betide the dog that wouldn't heed the hunter's call"- African Proverb Much I do about the country called Nigeria. I love my country and owe no apology to nobody. Mine is a choice. Hard as it is, I choose to honor the clarion call. The unity of this nation, her sovereignty and her pride must be defended. I am a die hard optimist and believer in the idea called Nigeria. I believe that God has a plan for Nigeria. I fear for the future of this country. Man by nature is a free moral agent and his choices ultimately determine his outcomes. It is on this wise that I fear for my country. With the benefit of hindsight, one can conveniently and most confidently posit that if we continue in the way and manner we have been operating, there will be no place for us to call home. When the center can no longer hold, things fall apart. We have a past and we must never forget where we are coming from. Do we ever learn from history? History teaches tha...
