Bless God for my sisters, who have the privilege of rich husbands. This has kept some of you at home as full house wives, who does nothing in the area of maximizing your potential. To be a full house wife is a job on it own anyway, you work and work, to keep the house in good shape for your husband to appreciate. My points for writing this, is two. I. Maximize your potentials. You are an invaluable being with many potentials in you. Maximize them. In you lies what it takes to make other people laugh and smile. Good works you see women do out there, you can do. Why keep all inside of you, under your husband's roof, when your life can help change the world. You are richly rich within, use your potential to do something good for yourself and the world. Discover yourself. Get to know what is inside of you, that thing you have silent all this while. Launch them to use. It makes one feel happier, when you do something real from within. II. The future, you cannot predict. No one want...

Take step stop the complains. For how long will you lament your life, for how long will you weep over your fortune.  Same fortune you have others had and now they have a better life.      Here is it, the things you do now cannot save you, crying, weeping, complaining, lamenting. There is no body who had ever gotten out of  any situation by these. Sit down with your life! Face the truth of it. The first way out is the truth. What is wrong with my life, not crying or pitting. Think, look back and get it right. Who am I and what had gone wrong?  Write it on a plane sheet and go over it.  If you don't know what is wrong with you, you cannot find a way out. After the you have known the root of the problems, start thinking, reading, sharing, praying the way out. Haven't you cry enough, you must be tired, I guess. Be serious, much more serious with the way out than you have been with crying, mourning your situation. Crying was dries ...

It is you, you, yes,  you that I am talking to. (Smiles) You see, I saw some news on the net, about some of our young 'hitters' buying cars, watches, more in millions and I thought to myself 'are these guys investing?' Guys and ladies, that have this time as their season, making the waves right now, invest in real things. You know, it our kind of way, when we have the hit, we go for things to show that we have arrived, the show off package, proving a wrong point but I tell you, when you hit, your mind should be on investment. The first things to invest in, is asset. Go for asset. One major reason,  why you do this is, Igba o lo bi orere, things don't go the hit, hit, so invest in things that will keep the money flowing in. By this you will not be broke or back to zero level. The truth is, some had regret the days of the past, the days they have and invested nothing then they get broke. The truth is, the people you spend for, will be the hardest critiques. The m...

My urge, is what I owe you. I urge you to rise now, take your destiny in your hands as you have been motivated and make it a reality. Don't forget, nobody is responsible to you, work your future out. Isn't it obvious, that these leaders are ready to eat your portion with theirs. They are not ready to be responsible enough to deliver unto you a better life. Must you pass through the same hardship they passed through. If they are good enough, they would created better life for you to be better, not same hardship. It obvious now, you have to find your way and you should be reasonable enough to find it. I think they are the first obstacle to be dealt with and they have to give way. 'Out of the way of our dream'. Then you will begin to secure the future you should have. If they can't work out a future , then work it out. With them the future bleaks, they have attained a height of greatness so they care not about the coming future. They are already in theirs. They don...

I must confess here, I do not expect any worker to do as if he or she do not know what the nation holds for retirees and private sector for it workers. Over the years there had been cries about government not paying the gratuity and pension of retiree, making many of them victims of lack, want. You as a worker shoukd not wait till after 35 years before you start thinking of what to do to help your old age and you know the strength is no longer there. Also to the private workers, who can have their appointment terminated at the employers discretion, should invest in the main time you might spend there. It is hard to see companies retrench employers and few months, they are back to zero level. They were not prepared, no one is prepared for bad but you know that such a thing can happen to you at any time. My plea and urge here is,  workers, whether a civil servant or a private worker, invest in your future. Don't wait to be sacked before you build other source of income. For our civi...

It is no news, it is just like a common song, no job, no job, or let me say the jobs available cannot go round the people in need of it. Graduates from different higher institutions keep rolling out every year, people with no formal education also want to make a living. My attention here is on graduates. The issue of unemployment had been for a long time, many able body young men and ladies had stayed without jobs for years. It is fast becoming the belief of people, you have to wait and search for job not minding the years, until you get one,  the search continues.   I write to urge our parents to please make extra preparation to settle your children after graduation or serving the land. I know it is not that easy for many, who even still have younger ones to train. Hmmm, where there is will, there is way. It is possible.      Waiting is wasting, one, two, three, four years and up, looking for job is too much to waste of a youthful life. Let our yout...

The world is a big place, isn't it? Yes, it is. But one thing is, every body's life is their world. As it is in the beginning when the earth was void and without form so is the life of men before he begins to give shape to it. God saw what he said, not wished. So also, what you sow into your life is what you are going to see. To have a beautiful life is hard work. Ask those who have beautiful lives. Everybody desire a great life, but I tel you, it is a conscious work. It is what you bring to be, not what someone can do for you. Living the crowd life, no vision, no mission, will give you a world of no vision. Working hard toward making your vision a reality, is living in a world of accomplishment. There are people living a fantastic life here on earth, a kind of life many wished for. It is possible for just anyone who will work towards it. Stop wishing, start working toward your vision. If have no vision for your life create one. A life without a vision will create a world fou...

Proverbs 6:24 To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman. 6:25 Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids. 6:26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life. 6:27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned? 6:28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned? 6:29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 6:30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to satisfy his soul when he is hungry; 6:31 But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; he shall give all the substance of his house. 6:32 But whoso committeth adultery with a woman lacketh understanding: he that doeth it destroyeth his own soul. In my side it is common to hear news of women dying because the side madam of their husbands 'killed' them. Some had because of good jealou...

         A nation cannot rise above         the level of her knowledge. One major place we get knowledge is the school, this system is popularly called formal education. I ask, how high can we rise with the standard of our formal education in this nation? Can it take us high as it has taken other developed nations, who had invested greatly in their formal education? Our present education standard, will give us is normal thing, at most mediocre level, what more! Any nation that will rise above, must have good standard of education. To me, the ideal standard of education, is the one that has what it takes to transform a nation. Transform a nation in the sense that, the knowledge gotten from it can make life better for the people when put to use. That is the way of those we strive to send our children to. School is not just a place where a child must go, it is also a place where the potentials in the child is brough...

I feel with you, I feel for you but I tell you right here, by smoking, doing drug, drinking, secluding from people or that thing you do, you cannot overcome your pain or get yourself away from yourself, you are only killing yourself the more. Hey! I know you have being abused, you have been disappointed, you have a kind of disease, nagging spouse or something not conventional. The wrong attitude you put on is not the way out, it will only add to it. Since you have being doing this thing, have you overcome the challenge? No. A mole hill that you did run from today will become a mountain tomorrow. You have to face the truth and move on with your true life.    Stop doing things that you feel they can help get away from your challenges, but cannot, you know the truth. You are smoking in other not to think about that challenge, does it solve it?  No, it does not.  The problem you choose to drink to calm it effect, does it go away? No, it does not. The drug you are taking...

Whether you celebrities know it or not, many youths and more, are looking up to you. Many are even praying to be like you, you are stars, everyone wants to be a star.     My appeal here is, please, see this celebrity state as an opportunity to influence someone positively. Some are looking at you as the one they follow, there are fans, there are followers. Fan cheer you up, hail you die. Followers do what you do, they follow your step. Some of the followers of the foreign stars, go to the extent of wanting to look physically as the one they follow. You can see how much you can influence someone's life.      Those who follow you, will do what you do whether right or wrong, forget common sense judgement. In as much they are following you, you are right to them. Please lead your followers right. Live a positive life, be conscious of where stardom had taken you and the responsibilities attached to it. Take it with all sense of seriousness and do somethin...

I have heard of rich people, seen some and be to couple of their houses, there is nothing surprising about them. Though they live in luxury but they have one head with normal features, two legs and do the necessities other people do. There is nothing unique that made them the rich ones, they are just product of hard work, inheritance and whatever means. I tell you, you can be rich, forget background or whatever kills your hope, you can be rich if you will obey the simple rules of wealth. 1. Whatever your hand find doing, do it well. 2. Give and it shall be giving to you. Diligence and liberality will make you change your line story. Forget history, 'nobody have being rich here, it is a poor whatever', don't take it as yours,  what you believe is what you become, press your life out of poverty. You can! I have seen few white men, and I tell you only colour differentiates us. What more? I think the kind of knowledge they are expose to. I tell you, there nothing a whiteman...

It is no news that our pensioners, who are called senior citizens, suffer hunger, ill health, more, for lack of payments. Oh pity! You have to see some of these men and women and you will be touched to say 'foul is the government that refuses to pay these people'. Some are well old and sick, they need money to take care of themselves but the money is held up by hand beyond their control. To the president, to governors, senators, house of assembly members and all the bodies concerned, please for God sake, settle these set of people. Our pensioners should be give first treatment, though they are not in active service, they kept the service for the ones active now. They have served and deserved what you have promised to pay them after retirement on. I suggest that our pensioners should be paid on 25th of every month. Putting their age into consideration, you will find out that they do not need to call or cry before giving them their pension. Everyone has got  elders at home and...

One attitude we must use to displace the other is,  compassion for others, pity people you should pity no matter what. Nobody prays to be sick and if it comes, we must take necessary step and that is what the president has taken. Don't also forget that he is an aged man and  need to constantly check on his health from time to time.  Ruling Nigeria is stress filled, 'the head of an elephant is not a load for a kid'. Please pity the man, he is a worthy grandfather. Lest I forget anyway, looking towards the coming elections, especially that of the president, these two things must be checked on this issue. 1. Age and nation's responsibility. Men or women in their old age needs rest, they are less active and their is limitation to their capacity. Among the aspirant, I think we shoulder look out for younger person. Why can't Nigeria have a youth president? A person who still have the strength to take the responsibility of over 150 millions souls and also the challenges ...

Having children is the joy of many couple coming together as one. Not having, is pain to those who do not, they search for it with everything. As essential as many seek children, they do not know how their lives affect the lives of the children. They raise them with basic necessity with education. Those who have extra, give the children extra threat. Many parents labour is solely for their children and they work hard to meet their need but they fail in one thing, moulding the children with their characters and attitudes. I tell you, if I ask just Nigerians, whose parents' attitude has had adverse effect on their lives to write me, I will have response in millions. That doesn't mean all of them are from poor background, it has nothing to do with wealth or poverty. It is all about your ATTITUDES especially toward your spouses. Parents, raising a child, is beyond food, clothing, shelter, education. It is moulding a life, building a person, giving a life direction both consciousl...

Biafra is the land of men agitating to go and be on their own because they have been treated the way they have been treated. It is to them a land of hope and salvation. But I wondered, if Biafra is going to be a land of freedom for the 'innocents' that are being made to belief that their salvation is the land they fight for. Hope these ones, are not been used to meet personal interest by taking advantage of their desire for a desirable life. Hope this is not going to be a break away of part from whole nothing changes but name, same leadership spirit. Biafra is not yet come true and the leaders can not be united, they fighting dirty and openly already alleging that one is exploiting the 'innocents' and I am very sure, each group has the others dirty linen. Can this be different from the nation you hate, or is that not what is chasing you, the other leaders are not one with you. If you are not one, what tension,  frustration, hope lost, burden, you will bring upon the peo...

Those who have spoken in anger or frustration are not the ones inciting the people be it who they are. You, you, yes, you are the one. You are the one inciting the people. Causeless cause will not cause. Why didn't you caution your people, when they go ahead to destroy others because of who they are or what they belief. Are you blind to it or you did not hear it. When they killed one and you were silent, they burnt a worship center and you feel unconcerned. They will go ahead to kill more and burn more. Those people, whose people were killed do not need any body to incite them to do the wrong. Passion, pain of loss will. A man spirit is subjected to him. You took what belong to others leaving them to hunger, no job, no security, half baking education and more that your stealing bring. The money assigned to meet the nations need, why did you divert it,  can't you control your mind and when you stole, the people wait in vain, did such, need anybody to incite them. Those things...

' Amen ' someone say There is no virtue in nakedness neither is there anything dignifying in it. Is either people mock the naked or pity them; eeyaa. Same expressions to our young women and ladies who have chosen the naked path, the clothy naked ones, eeya. Both those who are celebrated  by all, who want people to know them beyond respect and those seeking publicity in a wrong way. I say to you, you have not in a bit added value to yourself rather you have reduce the respect we have for you.    To those we celebrate, it is, no self pride, wrong example, lack of self respect that promote that in you. Sorry, okay. You lack enough self value for yourself, we have seen it all. It doesn't look great. Great things are hidden, it takes the good and strong to unfold it. Ko sa ponle mo, both fully and half naked,  you open the chest, you open the thigh, what is left covered?    To the ones seeking for attention, it is foolishness to get attention the wrong way. ...

Violence by Iyayi is one book I read and I love. It portraits what violence really is and that is exactly what we see in manifestation in our nation today. Violence everywhere. Violence is not when the bomb sound, 'gbum' in an area, lives lost, blood flows, property gone, people running here and there, many groaning in pain. Violence is not when the people move in peace, expressing their pain and the men in khaki come at them and do the shooting, then they repel or stand firm, three drops, four drops, five drops.  Violence is not the noise causing events and pain causing occasions. Violence is doing things that push men to the wall, when they cannot move anymore, they turn back to act. Violence is taking most, using the leftover left to meet the need of many, which is never enough to meet the need. Then they suffer, lack amidst plenty. Violence is lacking responsibility to the all forms of needs of the people, they keep their cool on the 'life' founded on the pai...

Ifedayo Olarinde! Ifedayo Olarinde!! Ifedayo Olarinde!!! How may times did I call you? Be warned. Stop talking to men of God the way you feel. Stop talking them down in the eyes of their followers. As a media man, you should know, not everything can be aired. It is dangerous, very dangerous. I have read several of your comment against men of God and I know, they are products of ignorance. Seek knowledge on what you don't know. Lest you perish without anyone cautioning you yet man have done. Even if you have sentiment, do everything with sense of responsibility, fomoluabi seun gbogbo.    The children that mocked Elisha were devoured by bear yet he was truly a bald man. The king that stretch his hand against a prophet became a leper. Stop washing your mouth against men of God, ko ma baa fenu ko. It is better not to talk than to talk yourself to trouble. Taye ban yeni koma sora. If you continue this way, you will end miserable, it is no curse, it is how it has been. Those men...

When a situation is beyond crying, one will laugh. The situation we are with you is beyond crying yet we cannot laugh, erin ke. You have turn a wealth house of many to  desolate place. Many happy family have loss bound, mother north, father south, children no where to be found, even the ones together dwell at the edge of life. Many loss the trace of their children, what a pain, to loss a child to death is better than not knowing the whereabout of him or her. You have made many widows, you have made many widowers. You have indeed brought about much loss of lives and things. You have turn yourself a human not desirable. You are a sword of destruction among us. And we have have you enough. I beg of you, please stop your destructive work against the land.    Ebe lan be alagbara. The government have tried, the people have cried but you keep to your mind, destroying and destroying, what a hell you turn the peacefully home of the people to. I beg of you, stop your act agai...

Dear Fathers and Mothers,     I greet you elders of this nation. I thank God for keeping you this far, may He fulfil your days. Many of you had served and are still serving the nation, I appreciate your efforts.     More than you have served, I ask you, fathers and mothers,  to speak at the right time, to promote good and consciously condemn evil. Any worthy society look up to her elders for things not to totally go out of control. Agba kin wa loja kori omo tuntun wo. We have good and worthy elders in this nation, learned, of good report, good cautions and have many worthies raised by them and I think we should not suffer like those who have not. Thanks to the elders who  have been speaking out and acting well, age with grace.     Right from the streets, let your voices be heard, correcting, guiding, rebuking, charging all category of people in the society. Keep not silent oh elders, speak correction, speak for, speak agains...

We know you have been treated unfair, you have not have good judgement for what is wrong with your land but please, spare this nation of this nightmare. Oh poor you! If they had heard your cry and truly treated your agitations, you would have been better for it, instead of this carrying of guns and Vandalization. They are making you waste your youthful strength on this(it is no school, it is no vocation) instead of building the nation. You cannot he blamed brothers, you cannot be blamed. If your land is so polluted that you can't farm on it and your water mixed and you can't drink of it, you deserve to speak out for your lives. A close mouth is a close destiny.       Your out cry was but a noise of disturbance to them then and they did nothing but that which will make men cry. Now it tells on our economy and they cry out. Our government need to know that, the molehill you pretend does not exist today will grow to become a devouring mountain tomorrow. The little...

     It we do not tame religion      in Nigeria, religion will kill us .         WOLE SOYINKA Good observation and warning to a nation that is bedevilled by religion. Even when our fathers has no civilization, when they worship whatsoever they believed (many gods,one society), it did  not kill them as now. They respected one another and lived peace. History did not record their fight over god or no god. Their god is their personal life, not a society must. But I believe that the major problems of this religion fighters is lack of reasoning and lack of capacity to contain others. To live sound in a multi religious nation as this, every religion must do all things with reasoning. Know where you are, you are in a nation where people have different religion, same people have right to life and liberty to choose which religion they want to be just as you. You have no right at all to judge anybody wrong...

Hmmmmm, my heart bleeds. Internal pains, eternal damage, rob of pride, no, no, it is evil. It is unkind, it is wicked to give a wound that doesn't heal to another for your pleasure. You deserve more than you get. Of recent, it is everywhere in the news, rape, rape, rape, even rape of to death, even rape of infants, even the rape of the disabled. It is nothing pleasant at all.    All, I mean, all, have a part to take in stopping, ending this evil. It must not continue with us. It makes the victims    Shadow of themselves.    It reduce them to a mockery in an insensitive society like ours.     It kills the joy in them and make them unhappy bags      It destroys their self image, making them lose self value. Oh no, it is not what the society should bear, it hunt the victims forever. To the government, toughen your judgement on rapist and any other destructive sexual behaviour. Let there be no bail for rapist, let the...

If only we will take a break and see what Nigeria carries then we know for sure, this nation is a nation to be envied not pitied. I could feel it, if we will stop all violence, evil, greed, wickedness  towards the other, corruption and all things that cover the glory of this nation, we will become a surprise. Let the heart that govern us put out the fire of greed and carefree attitude. Treat the root of all violence and agitations. Simply do the right thing. Then learn the act of building from those had built their nation high and take same step. The nation will catch the fire of surprising change. There is light in us and let us give it chance to shine across the globe not covering it with act of violence and ignorance.    I tell you one truth, it is because of the multitude of the  challenges we face which most times are cause by our leaders, who take everything in division except the ones that will satisfied their greed and we their follower, who are good at just...

I write to you with a heavy heart. I am not happy, why should I? When things are going this way. Well, I know I deserve happiness being  a citizen of this nation I am proud of but not when my people are dying as nothing because of conflict.         Leaders and elders of every tribe, tell me, what do you want for this nation? Peace or war? If it is peace you want, work it out, bring it to be. Surely, as good elders, your people will listen to you. Please call them to order. It is not good hearing some of you defending your people against another tribe when you know it can bring destruction. Elders bring peace not war. What do you stand to gain in destruction? I tell you, the true life we seek is not in the violent we create or help to fuel. It is in peace we chase away most time. If this nation had ever know peace as well as you, you will never desire war for anything. Please appease your tribe, though, not all things done to you are fair but vio...

The deeds of these men are every where for real but I have not seen strong caution. The evil act did not start today yet it thrives, news coming out from different places, same people, same act; violence and destruction. The deaf can see tears rolling down the faces of victims, the blind can hear their horror cry even the dead welcome more dead. Why should there not be a good repel action to stop these men. Without such,they continue to move own.     One thing I find hard to comprehend is who our political leader really are. What is there feeling like, when it comes to the masses? They act irresponsible, when it comes to the masses, leaving all form of unneededs to grow and breed on the nation ground before shouting and running here and here for people seeing sake. If you really wanted to do something, it should have been preventing it or cub it as early as possible. Most of the troubles we are today, can be avoided. This your medicine after death syndrome is alarmi...

I write to caution some of you like SULEIMAN OLAYEMI, who claimed Christianity is a joke and those in their right senses should not be one .   Nigerians who speak in his manner, lack sensitivity to their society  and the knowledge of the trouble which word spoken can cause. That is too much in a nation where you have many many Christians, those word from a man full of ignorance can cause enough violence to hold a nation still. Word spoken can either bring you gift or sword.    Nigerian please seek true knowledge about everything you don't understand in other people's religion, culture, tradition instead of making a ridicule of it. If you are a fanatic, be one responsibly, if you are zealous for your religion, be zealous responsibly. People who think they have the right of speech,  should be careful of what they say, lest they set the nation on fire by their uncontrolled mind and unbridle tongue. Many of these actions and words that are capable of mak...

May the LORD renew your strength men of God. Hope the sheep are grassing gracefully. I write to you on some issue obviously neglects over the years and it giving room to the intimidators to come in. We must not be ignorant of the devices of the enemy and the vessels he can use.     Fathers in the Lord, one major issue I write to you about in this letter about the church, is the division. Oh no, it is alarming. All churches ordaining by GOD, bought by the blood of Jesus Christ, founded by the Holy Ghost should be one. One, I mean one, not one and half, a whole one. How come the church in this nation is this divided . It is so divided that some denominations, do not go to other denomination, even relating with the member of those denominations is like committing sin. They called the other, a worldly church, church of sinners. I have witness an instance where there was a wedding ceremony in one denomination, saints from the  other denomination could not come into...

L ooking at some reasons for recent Biafra agitation, l could see, 1. The common behaviour of my people, once something is not good at a time, they opt for the options they have instead of making the present one good. 2. Mental laziness of the Igbo people. I know Igbo people as hardworking, we see them every where in Nigeria even in remote villages doing their businesses but using their mental power to work and walk their way to the top is hard. What of if there was never anything called Biafra, where will you go? Abuse of option, that syndrome is every where.  The life you want is not in wishing and hope, it is in standing firm, press into it. 3. Wrong use of strength. The strength used to call for a new, why can't it be used to get your place in this old one.  Most of the time the new comes with own challenges that make the old desirable. There is much more for Igbos in Nigeria than in Biafra. 4. The genuine commitment to the nation. The Igbos seem not to be with us in ...

Until we accept that we are one, we are not yet a nation indeed, forget all the things we have done together. We must cut away that spirit of, they are this, they are that. Come to know this truth, one person's headache is all persons' headache. I want us to be baptize into that spirit of 'the headache of my neighbour is mine' It will help us a lot and it will bring us together.     My main focus here is,  neglecting our sister tribe or region in time of challenge because it is not our tribe, state or region is bad, koda rara. We are one and must live it. Let us jointly fight evil in any land. Challenging enough, all tribes had gone into the other, inter ethnic marriages, sojourners for business and work purpose. Marvelling to see one tribe speak the language of another fluently and even imbibe their culture. If we say it is not our trouble, what if your sisters or brothers, children are in that land. That is one. What about your nation brothers and sisters, are the...

'Nigerians quickly adapt, instead of flooding the street with protest, they adapt' A man said Suffering and smiling syndrome born of the deceitful words, E GO BETTER, is a good part of Nigerians, a terrible nature that keeps in a kind of slavery life, we endure all things, mostly bad.  E go better, e go better, they keep the push on, enduring what should not be endured. Nigerians, I urge you to stop enduring what should not be endured. Stop adapting to what is destroying you in silence. We have endured until the presence become unsure and the hope for the future is almost lost. Some of you keep complaining as if you are singing, you stand under the tree shades, arguing your plight, some of you run away from your responsibilities by sitting out late, no money to meet wives demands. You know how you run from your parents' call because you have no money to meet their demands, a necessary duty with blessings attached to it. The nation situation is crippling, turning the respo...
