Just saying it as it is

I think it is really annoying what is happening in our society these days.It is totally different from what obtained in our parents days.Ideals were followed to the letter.It was a sincere practise.Well,I am talking about church and its proliferation in Nigeria.Have you ever wondered like me why there are so many churches in Nigeria and yet so much evil also.In fact I strongly believe that Nigerians are the most religious people in the world.You will hardly hear hear a Nigerian talking without mentioning God.Our corrupt politicians get away with all their atrocities because we believe God will judge them for us and they more than anyone else sing open praises to God.
The churches which are meant to be the house of God are now donation houses where only the donors are recognized members.You either donate or you remain a wayfarer,jumping from church to church seeking for the acceptance which every church should generally afford without a price tag just as Christ freely gave his life for us who are sinners.You could count hundred churches in one street in Nigeria.They say we can't all worship together because God gives each church different vision and mandate.Well,I agree,after all,the bible talks about the church in Corinth and Laodecia and many more and their different approach to serving God,however we never read that they made money a pillar of their worship.In fact they shared all that they had, together in love.

I know there are churches that preach 'seek ye first the kingdom of God and every other thing shall be added unto you' and really mean it by practicing it.It is really sad and every time I think of the polity called Nigeria I weep.I see no reason why the church shouldn't have made a huge impact in this dear nation.We have respected men of God all over ,yet...,most of us claim to be born again Christians,yet....truly saddening.One thing I know anyway is that if we truly practice the Christianity Jesus preached,the change we have all been pravying for would come.It starts from no other person but you and me and the time is definitely now...

Reasons for sharing

Knowledge,to me is closely linked to our identity.sharing is generally a willful method of disemminating useful information to other people.By sharing, we build realationships so that what we share is received and treated with respect.Actually,knowledge sharing and relationships are interlinked.It is therefore,imperative that we share love which is the bedrock of any lasting relationship. Why am I sharing anyway? I know you are just wondering why you should bother about sharing anyway,you probably feel you are not loved enough or not loved at all.mhnnn...the question is how much love do you give,how much love can you afford to share? Well,you know what they say,habits die hard...I simply love to share and again I share out of a sense of responsibility for my future...."what you sow is what you reap!".I feel there is a huge gap that needs us to fill it,simply by sharing love. This love could be for that husband who isn't living up to responsibility,that wife who wouldn...

Tired of giving!

Oops!it's been rain rain rain in this part of my world for the past one week.At times it can be really annoying,especially when you have planned a fun day and the rains come pouring down making the ground all wet and irritating.If there is anything I love to do,it is shopping.I had planned to go shopping and the rain wouldn't just go away so I threw caution to the wind and grabbed my little umbrella.Out in the rain I went,quickly hailed a cab and zoomed to the market. The entrance to the market was something else.Obviously like me,the rain couldn't deter so many people.People were milling around everywhere,even beggars sat put in their positions begging for alms from all who passed them.One of them particularly caught my attention.Unlike others he was standing,his buttons were all undone and I saw something like a rope connected to his navel,tracing the end,I saw something like a drip or something but some kind of satchet with some content in it in his hand and then there w...

Why do they keep staring?

In these few years God has blessed me with on earth,I have seen so many things:the good,the bad,the ugly.I am so curious about men and their way of thinking.He is driving on the road,he is looking,in the office,he is looking,in the park,he is looking,even in church he is looking...Chei!what is it?.He gladly boasts that every man is wired that way,he couldn't be different. Ladies,have you ever been looked at by a guy so badly that you almost puked?There are those whose stares make you feel like smacking them behind and saying,don't be silly!.There are others whose stares make you feel embarrased and uncomfortable but there are those who make you feel like a queen made to be worshipped.Hahah...yea,I know that feeling...hey,don't worry the feeling is mutual.I like it too.I mean who doesn't want to feel wanted?. However,I am particularly curious about why some men just go bonkers at the sight of a woman.Why his nose will trace a perfume to the owner?Why his mouth will hang ...
