Gratitude To Dr. UBU

Image
I don't want to wait up till your death to say these words. I don't want to regret not telling you how I really feel about you or how you make me feel. I bless God always for the day you were born, the day you received Christ and sold yourself out for the word and Ministry. You are that man I would tag: "When a man gives himself wholly to the word and ministry, he leads/lives the word naturally as a mirror to others" To me, we have come a long way: -For all the joy you gave to me, -For all the ears you gave to my worries. -For the times i forgot my reality in Christ, you reminded me of them. -For all the patience you had to my pranks. -For the understanding you gave to my silliness, -For the things you taught me, For the companionship, comfort and friendship you gave, I am sincerely grateful dear brother. I call you brother unashamedly because you have indeed earned that place in my life these few years. Sometimes, I wondered the feeling of bei...

TO CHOOSE AND BE CHOSEN

Image
     Photo: ShutterStock Now I understand why people close their eyes when they kiss. Kissing is so sensual that it is 80% emotions and 20% lips sucking. I sigh with nolstagia, while savouring the last bit of mint taste left behind by Jeyden's kiss. Oh! Sorry. I mean the love left behind by Jeyden's. "Ouch!" I held on to my aching head and raised my head up to see the cause of my head ache. Fortunately or unfortunately, the source of my pain was from bumping into a wall. The wall I bumped into was no other than Jayden.. Yes...the Jayden . "My Sweet Crush..." (I screamed mindlessly in my head). Are your eyes under your feet? ( he growled at me with annoyance) "Oh! Sorry!" ( I apologised with a false boldness). I felt sad seeing his indeference towards me as he walked away. My heart ached that I felt it was not my head that received the bruise, but my heart. Even the lingering taste I thought was I had left in my mouth turned into a bad t...

Being Happy

Image
When we were young, we felt the only thing we needed was to eat and grow. Then it increased to knowing how to read. Then to understanding how to read a clock's time,  Then, to how to just pass it each examination and progress to the next class. All I am saying is, we were born to see that life needed simple intentional steps. And the goal was to gain Satisfaction and to be happy. We just needed to only take those steps to be happy, fulfilledand Satisfied.  Do we still remember to be happy now? The struggles of life have still not stopped from way back, as afore explained. Rather, it has been increasing. It has so progressed so much that we achieve our objectives without those simple sense of satisfaction and Joy that we used to have from the beginning. Most of us have gone as far in life as bear burdens we do not even know we even carry; From planning ahead the Meal Plan, to planning what to wear, plans for the day, Job outcomes, future of spouses, children, famili...

Protect the boy Child

Image
I cannot emphasize this enough. You see, research shows that 70% of the sexually abused before the age of 18years are boys. There is the society's idea of toxic masculinity that claims 'boys are meant to enjoy sex' 'boys/men don't cry' and 'boys are not meant to complain'.  I want to say that, where it is very true that 3 in every 10 ladies have been raped and sexually harassed, and women are not so biologically protected as the males and thus suffer more from these occurrences, I still wish we protect the males like we protect the females.  Just like you groom the women to be expressive, good mothers, wives and sisters, please groom our boys to be expressive, good fathers, husbands and brothers. Who are we deceiving? We groom the women to face these men who have been left to fend for themselves emotionally and socially, and think these women will never get the results from the experiences of these men? Okay, this morn...

You Are Enough and Blessed

Image
On this day, I want to let you know that you are valuable and enough. It does not matter the people who have left or rejected you. You are Enough. Your Value is in You. Only you and God knows your true worth. Little wonder he delayed not to give up his life for you. #HeCallsYouBlessed! (C) Ethel Etuk Willie

GENERAL VIEW

Image
General view is synonymous with survey; overall picture; overall view; general picture. What does it mean to have a general view? Marriam Webster dictionary, defines general view as general opinion or an overall view. On this note, It is known of how easy it is for us to box people, life and situations as if there will never change. We expect so much within a particular area that they can't move beyond that boundary to us. Most cases, we hold on to memories where people have failed or made mistakes and we limit or box them to that mistake and failure, forgetting they is something called growth, development and change. We feel they should act that we because we feel they should through their mustajws or situations  When we see things, mistakes and situations with a general view we leave room for growth and improvements. Here is a better way to explain my point. So in introducing myself, I spoke of an organisation (in the course of this work, i will refer to it as a perso...
