There are some men a lady had to dim her light before they can be comfortable around her
They expect her to shut up and listen
They expect her to be less intelligent, less vocal, less obvious, and less of herself
Dont be one of those men
Don't ever kill the buzz of the woman you
love because you want to create the impression that you are in charge
I love wisdom
I don't like the appearance of wisdom under a layer of silence
I love obvious wisdom, vocalized and loud
It is very easy to identify foolishness
it is often loud and abrasive and cannot tolerate
anything that will expose it
The worst kind of foolishness is the quiet kind
A pastor friend once married a very quiet lady who gave birth to a baby boy, fetched water in a bucket just beside the bed and locked the baby in the room (baby was asleep) to go and watch a fight
between neighbours
She got home two hours later and discovered her baby had drowned in the bucket of water
Her husband almost lost it
The church intervened and he forgave her
She did it again two years later
Exactly like the first time
She fetched a bucket of water and placed it
close to the bed, she left her eight months old baby on the bed (Asleep) and went off to play ludo with a neighbour
She was gone for about two hours
When she got back to the room her baby had drowned the second time
This time nobody could appeal to the husband
None of us had the
heart to
Her foolishness was a capital liability
Many people realised after the repeat act that her gentle and quiet nature had made many assume she was wise
If she had been a chatterbox, her foolishness would have been made obvious earlier and the two tragedies could have been
avoided
I am hearing a rumor that students want to stage a peaceful protest due to ASUU strike
@MBuhari and @ASUUNGR I beg you in the name of God not to put a keg of gunpowder on a boiling sea
The last protest didn't end well
I beg you, let us recover from it in peace
Eight
months is more than enough time to address your issues
To stumble twice over the same stone is a proverbial disgrace, please resolve your issues and call off the strike this week
Let this cup of trouble pass over Nigeria
There are lots of people with crazy motives who are still
hurting from the abrupt end of the last agitations and are waiting for an opportunity to unleash all forms of mayhem
Dont let us be like the lady who didn't learn from the first tragedy and as a consequence allowed the tragedy to repeat itself
You can only poke a bear so much...
My wife has been investigating the event that happened in Lekki during the last protest
Me i just want her to resign and forget about this journalism business
Her office was burnt down during the last carnage by hoodlums and protest hijackers and i received too many calls from
friends and well-wishers regarding her well being
if you watch me and my wife engaging in a discussion regarding government policies and events, you will assume we were doing a mock trial for a supreme court case
That's how I like all the people around me, open, transparent,
strong, able to posit their beliefs with logical precision and accuracy.
Her opinion is key
My opinion is equally key
We laugh over matters when we refuse to agree
Sometimes if she gets too passionate, i will resort to offering her a peace offering just to get off the hook!
I learned the value of divergent opinions several years ago.
My wife cannot be a dummy
Dummy wives are unable to save their husbands when such is heading in the wrong direction
The value of a wife with a good head on her shoulder cannot be overemphasized
Such is a life saver
Ananias and Sapphira lost out because one couldn't check the other
i remember reading about Peter and His wife while they were in Rome
The writer says Peter wanted to run away from Rome when Christians were being persecuted and his wife said No!
His wife said "Remember the Lord"
His wife didn't allow him to deny the lord a second time
i know a couple who are as thick as thieves
The husband is towing a path of destruction and the wife is following him like a puppet
Every time i remember the two of them, i pray earnestly
I can see the end of their story
and I assure you it is not palatable
Strong women are lifesavers and destiny helpers
I would rather take a strong and wise woman than a quiet and manipulative one who knows the location of all the witch doctors, spiritualists, and herbalists and yet acts all innocent!
Such is the
witch many of us attribute to untimely death and destiny capitulation
A woman is equal to a man in every way
A wife is not equal to a husband (But only her own husband and not any other man)
The reason for this is obvious
Every ship with two captains ends up having to deal with
mutiny!
there has to be only one head but the neck in every marriage has to be very stable and reliable
I know many young men who had been programmed by culture and religion to regard women as the inferior kind.
Such a culture and religion will find itself obsolete very soon and
its adherents will be the biggest losers
God made mankind male and female
Jesus made those who believe in him associates of the Godkind, members of the assembly of the saints in light and Christkinds
There is no inferior gender in Christ
The Holy Spirit has made us like Him

A tender heart is one of the basic signs you see in a believer who has met the Lord
A heart that cannot bear a bruised reed
A heart that is soft & compassionate towards all men
A heart that does not want any to perish but desires that all come to the reality of the Father’s love
Jesus had such a heart, so did John and Peter and James and Philip and Steven...
A heart that forgives the most grievous injury and counts the wickedness of men as a product of their ignorance. Jesus said “Father forgive them for they know not what they do” just as he was being
led to the cross to die for my sin. He knew I didn’t deserve it or even appreciate it and yet He did it because he wanted me to have that option.
Before Jesus came, mankind couldn’t have everlasting life. The Pharisees had an idea that there was a way to get it and they searched

Yesterday, I read the thread of a young man who was robbed at Ojota. He said the robbers beating him blue-black and took everything from him
He said he was so sure they were going to kill him that he was already praying that God should take his soul. He also said the officers of
the Nigerian Police were about 20 meters away from the incident
They were seated in their patrol vans and watched as he was beaten within an inch of his life
I read through over 2000 comments that the thread generated
Everybody blamed the police officers and wished the young man
well.
When I was a journalist, there was a young man who was employed as a reporter whom i love very well
He would go out and do vox pops on topical issues
He was quite good at getting the people to say their minds and soon became quite known even beyond Lagos
I remember the

Earlier today, inside the RCCG camp I saw Christ Embassy shuttles taking people to the IPPC conference at the Loveworld grounds just beside the camp. I saw a lot of cars parked all over the camp and I was told most of the chalets had been fully booked by Christ Embassy ministers
And members for the duration of the conference. I saw restaurants inside the camp all working at full capacity. When I got home I laid prostrate before my Father and cried with joy. You see, what I saw taught me a very vital lesson about the kingdom of God and it’s inner workings
When I was going to be ordained as a deacon in RCCG in 2018, I went to the camp for one week and shut myself in a chalet listening to Pastor Chris messages and praying in tongues
I was literally on fire on the day of the ordination, and GSWMI was birthed just one month after that

I saw The Queens Gambit on Netflix yesterday and fell in love with the show immediately
It is about a female chess prodigy and her rise (struggles too)
The show reminds me of MR Anthony Olumeko, our neighbor when we were living at Alagbayun (Ashi) area, Ibadan. When we moved into
That flat in 1988, I had never heard of Chess before. My parents were consumate Scrabble players and I practically grew up learning my alphabets on the scrabble board. Mr Anthony had travelled the world (sponsored by the Catholic Church) He had planned to be a priest but changed
His mind for a reason he never told me.
Two weeks after we moved into the new apartment, he saw me in the compound and invited me into his flat. I went in and he showed me a lot of gadgets and pictures of his sojourn. Then I saw a chess board and asked him what that was and he

Out of all the stories I was told many years ago, the story of a young man struck me
This young man was very gifted spiritualy
Whenever and wherever he ministered, word of wisdom word of knowledge and prophecy would flow like a river
Another minister of the gospel met this young
man and invited him to a series of tent meeting crusades all over America
The young man saw it as an opportunity to minister to more people & accepted the deal
They got to a city
The other minister set up the tents and the crusade started
The young man ministered, many cases were
called, the supernatural began to manifest
Healings (Both physical and emotional) took place
When the young man was done, the spirit of repentance fell upon the people
Many started crying and wailing
The other minister saw an opportunity to cash in
He began to announce that God

She had a crazy crush on him
He had no idea for two years
When they were in 100 level, she would come around him seeking certain explanations and clarifications about their studies from him
He was sure she knew those subjects, but he felt she only came to him to be double sure
Then she started sending him messages
Warm, loving messages
She would call and ask him to help her read them and vet them as she was honing her writing skills
She was very creative and easy to be with
He liked her spirit and yes, he was happy to oblige her and make suggestions
Where necessary
He was six years older than her
He was expelled when he was in 400 level in a private university for having pornography on his laptop
His parents sued the school and another year of “let him graduate” plea went by
Eventually he had to start over in another private
