Whose Image are you?

This is the title of a book I just read.Beautiful piece I must confess.It reminded me of a whole lot of things I knew but had so forgotten that they seemed non existent and very unrealistic to me.Things like reasons why we really need to appreciate life and the creator and giver of life.It reminded me indeed of who I am and painted a perfect picture of my image.


You see,the conscience is an inner Judge.It cannot make you do right but it shows you what is wrong or what is right.When your conscience is right,you have tremendous freedom.A good conscience can and will do for you what a sleeping pill cannot and will never do for you!.I am almost certain like I am certain of the lines on my palm that everyone believes in right or wrong;good or evil and all other negative and positive indices that define life and give it,its true meaning.The truth is every human represents these indices either by word or action.These indices define our personality and ultimately we parade the image of these indices;good or evil!


The sun lights up the day,the moon announces the night,the streams remind us of fishes,the green or brown grasses remind us of the change in seasons,the birds point us to the blue sky,the swaying trees open our ears to the rythm of the wind,nature is unbeatably expressive.It leaves its signature on everything it creates!.Just like these nature's expressions have signatures,so you and I,for we are products of mother nature too.


Is it not amazing that the sun,moon,grasses and all know their place and always take it without much ado.Man with all his wisdom seems to find it more difficult to harness his potentials and remain in his place and represent nature.I believe in the supremacy of God and the fact that He made us to be like him.I believe also that we are God's representative here on earth.God is good.One may ask the logical question:If God is all good and made man in his image,why does man commit evil acts?Fair question I must say.But you see,God is so good and fair that he leaves us with choices.Don't you see that in reality your life becomes what you choose,good or bad!.

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

Domestic Voilence in Nigeria heightens in the face of economic hardship-majority of victims are women!

A recent Public Opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited in partnership with Project Alert on domestic violence has revealed an increasing prevalence of domestic violence across Nigeria in recent times as reported by about 8 in 10 (78 percent) respondents. This prevalence is highest in the South-West geo-political zone (86 percent) and lowest in the South-South zone (70 percent). More findings revealed that 54 percent of Nigerians have suffered a form of domestic violence or know someone that has experienced domestic violence in their homes with majority of the victims being women as stated by 75 percent of respondents. Just this week, a man in Aba Abia state allegedly beat his wife into coma for lying to him that she has not been paid her salary after commissioner for finance Obinna Oriaku mis-informed the Abia public on radio that civil servants salary arrears have been paid.
