I have read/heard about women who have almost bent themselves over backwards just to see their husbands accept the changes that have occurred to their bodies especially due to the rigours of pregnancy/ageing. I feel so sorry for women who are being tormented by the men in their lives who are supposed to love and […]

Just Wondering
Wait, when did you become a stammerer? He is there touching you in an unholy manner and you stand there saying, “Bro Peter, S-T-O-P it now”- sounding like a broken record. Really? I don’t get it. First of all, remove that ‘bro’ from his name. Then use “sharpymycin”. Call yourself to order, and flee. This […]
Nigeria, Look to The Lord
Right from the time preceding the 2015 general elections, I’ve been wondering what’s going on in the minds of the majority of the people in this nation. I read what many people write and I marvel. I hear some people’s views about the ‘change’ they look forward to and all I can mutter is, “God […]
Don’t Cast Your Pearls To Pigs
Stop selling yourself cheap. You have been bought at a price, a high price. There’s something called ‘gbanjo’ in Yoruba. This is when you sell your goods short of the price they are worth. You are desperate to get them off your stock even if you are running at a loss. You are focused on […]

The Results Of Your Association
My attention was drawn to some flower plants in our compound some days back. There were two of them, different species, planted beside each other but with the same flower. I kept examining the plants out of curiosity. I was so surprised because I kind of know that one of the plants was not bearing […]
Waiting For Perfect Conditions?
Someone who is afraid to step out in faith is a disaster to himself. Your actions could be likened to you waiting for snow to fall in Maiduguri, Northern Nigeria. It won’t happen. (Well, with God nothing is impossible, but literally, . . .) You say, “No wedding till I have 5 million naira in […]
Invest In What You Want
As I read the book of Proverbs 27, I found something really intriguing. I remember my mother always asking me when last I had called Dr This, Pastor That and Professor This-That. She would insist that I keep in touch with people who had been good to me in the past. Here is the verse […]
Maybe It’s Not Your Fault
Usually, when men decide to stray out of their marriages and back down on their marriage vows, the next thing people say is, “Woman, you must have driven him out by yourself.” They go on to say that it must be because she is not patient with him enough. Or that maybe she is not […]
Planning A Restful Weekend
The weekend is supposed to be a time for rest from the week-long labour. But what happens? It’s when the backlog of house chores are cleared. It is during the weekends too that you attend to social functions. And then prepare for the next working week. ¤ Decide to have a restful weekend. You need […]
Maybe It’s Time To Check Out
If you are not happy going to that office of yours or you wake up on a Monday morning and all you can think about is how you could skip work, something is wrong somewhere. Everyday of your working life, is actually part of your life. You tend to spend most of your day at […]
Give Yourself And Us A Break
I continually hear people talk on and on about how the challenges they are facing are the most difficult. Some claim that no one has been through what they are going through and that’s why they cannot understand. They make it look like no one else could have survived if they had to go through […]
I am a product of Grace!
Here’s the summary of my testimony:His grace has been sufficient for me indeed. The race is not always to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor satisfaction to the wise, Nor riches to the smart, Nor grace to the learned. It’s purely God at work in my life. He brought me out of […]

To rape victims. . .
We don’t know why God allows tragedies to enter our lives, but we do know that God hurts deeply with us and loves us more than we’ll ever know. He comforts us and gives us the strength to work through our pain. LORD, you know the hopes of the helpless. Surely you will listen […]
