Service

Image
A bird that will like to fly high, must learn to fly alone. SERVICE! If my goal in life is to make all the money, then I can never be trustworthy, for I will be ready to do whatever it takes to get it. I am telling myself this, service should be my goal. What effect will my vision have on my immediate environment? Will it ever create any positive impact on the coming generation? Will I ever be able to solve any world problem? Money can't solve problem, it will only create the thirst to seek for more money anyhow, using any means. War is financially profitable but it does destroy humanity. Our hunger problem started when we started seeking for ways to make profit out of it, I won't blame GMO that much; they are only seeking for more profit. With the way I see drugs getting patented, I tend to forget that food is the real medicine. Service is a huge sacrifice, most times taking short cuts always cut things short. In this life that I will live just once, I will work har...

Lefthandedness

Image
When all is LEFT, everything is right! Lefthandedness is one of nature's distribution which is still struggling to gain general acceptance in our world. Many people see it as a bad thing - sign of disrespect and evil, few overhype the phenomenon - viewing it as a good omen, while others are indifferent about it. It's during President Obama's tenure that Terrorist Osama Bin Laden was captured. These two great men were Lefthanders! The etymology of the word left is from the Anglo-Saxon word "lyft," and it means weak or broken. Even, the word sinister is derived from the Latin word "sinestra, " and it initially meant “left.” We all know the meaning of sinister. Oh this is unfair to the Southpaws. Dexter means right, hence the word “dexterity” shows a right-handed bias referring to being right completely. Majority of the world religions see the phenomenon as a negative thing. In fact, the term "left-handed honeymoon" actually connotes ...

Inner healing

Medical teams don't have the answers at times. They make worse paralysis cases with medication and unnecessary surgery. Just like in the faith arena, medicine is invented and oversees by human beings. Pentecostal churches in Nigeria have perfected the art of captialism. No doubt. Sickness can make the most reasonable person believe absurdity. Pain is not funny. There is no straight answers that to stop struggling. Many of us hardly know how to do that. Toyin Ajao

Words from the Holies

Love, Hatred, Fear, Anger, Jealousy and Bitterness are all part of a person's character that consist of feelings. You are permitted to express any of these emotions but know that feelings at times can be misleading. Hatred, Fear, Anger, Jealousy and Bitterness can kill anyone nursing it, through high blood pressure. In all things chose to love, stand for love, defend in love and please correct with love. Why allow Fear when it is not constant, Bury your Hatred for it affects the smiles, Jealousy may not be right after all, Anger do burn its carrier, Love makes the world go round. There is this story about a man who sent his servant on an errand to buy him some goods from another town with a huge sum of money. The journey was supposed to take two days but the servant won't return three days after, he was not even reachable on his cell phone. The park where he boarded the vehicle to the town could not ascertain what could have happened to him. This old...

Peru to Nigeria, Searching for the Healing God. HoL 109

Image
Humans of Lagos "My agnostic friend from Venezuela requested that I assist her friend from Bolivia in getting to meet a popular Prophet in Lagos. My friend told me that her friend was involved in an auto-crash, which has rendered her immobile for over 12 years. Although, my friend doesn't believe in the idea of seeing a prophet for healing, but she only wanted to respect the wish of the woman in pain. I took up the humanitarian work. I picked the woman from the Muritala Muhammed Airport in Lagos, and then drove her down to an hotel close to the Prophet's Synagogue. She had just 4 days to see the bearded prophet. However, for these 4 days, the Prophet refused to see her. Maybe her faith wasn't strong enough to deserve his healing presence. She came in a high spirit, but returned last night with a shattered heart. I would have loved to take her to some tourist centres in the city, but she was so engrossed in her religious tourism to see the need. I am happy...

Not Dying To Impress Others! HoL 108

Image
Humans of Lagos "A Few weeks back, a guy was making degrading comments about my phone. And I was very quick to attack him, I also bragged about how expensive my phone was. Days after the bragging, I was robbed of my pricey possessions at a gun point.  That night, all I wanted was that my life be spared.  I live! And I am grateful for that.   I really just need to move on.  It's like a Phoenix rebirth. The dance of death is to live and die again. And rise again. My friends want me to step up - "get a bigger and better phone." they say.  Hell no! Where can I find money to do a replacement not alone a bigger brand? I am very broke. So I asked myself, why should I replace my stolen phone with another expensive version of it? You know, when you are broke you get wiser.  Am I on Earth to impress while the thieves on the other hand, come again to rob me? No, this life is not a warfare.  Sometimes, we experience loss just to appreciate the ephemerality o...
