Life is all about priorities

By -

Few minutes ago (on the day this was written), a lady accosted me at a shopping mall (Market square at Trans-Amadi). We had an interesting conversation even though we just met. She asked for my contact address....

She was like.. "Since you stay around this axis...may I know your place? So I could visit tomorrow?

She asked for my number, I requested to take hers instead and promised to give her a call tonight (I knew where it was all heading)

Was she pretty? Of course she was my spec.
Will I call her? Absolutely not!
Why?
She wasn't in the plan this year. There's no space for distractions.

Life is all about priorities. If everything is important, then nothing is important.
Some will say, 'Eh..what if she doesn't have any intentions... She just want to be friends'

I hear! Eliminate every possibility of 'What ifs'.

Young guys and ladies in our 20s. This is the only time we are permitted to be selfish with our time so that when we are in our 40s, we'll have so much to give.

Don't live life like a baloon. Don't be 'felele'. Be intentional!

Our poor parents have nothing to give now because they were not selfish with their Youth.

Nothing Good Comes Easy (Dr. Nosa's Success Story)

This is an inspiring Success Story by Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa, a Medical Doctor and graduate of the University of Port Harcourt (UNIPORT) Dr. Ewere Thompson Nosa ----- After rounding up my Secondary School education, and losing my Dad to the cold hands of death in 2009; I decided to fend for myself, and complement the support I was getting from my wonderful siblings. I had to do this because I don't like depending on anyone wholly, plus the fact that finance was limited and things were not all rossy. So I started off as a phone technician at Third junction in Benin. It wasn't easy for me as I was a bit too young and innocent to hussle in such kind of environment. I faced a lot of reproach, rejections and oppressions. I can remember a day I was beaten up at my work place, by some cultists for not fixing their phones to their specification. I also faced a lot of disappointments even among my loved ones. Well, that's all history. I endured all and passed

IPad, Android Phones Versus Bible

By -
Image
Yesterday (on the day this was written), I watched Pastor Chris Oyakilome live as he preached. He used his iPad to read out scriptures. Later in the day, I saw a post on Instagram, and one guy like that insulted Pastor Chris for using iPad, instead of his Bible. I laughed at the man's ignorance. I remember an Uncle of mine was invited to a Church. He went there with his iPad, and someone asked him: "Sir, where is your Bible?” He showed him his 10.1 inches Pad. “But Sir,” he said, “This is not a Bible, this is iPad, you need to carry your Bible. You're not a good preacher, if you don't preach with your Bible," one of the pastors said. Now this is my point: Before the advent of printing press, the scriptures were originally written on a scroll! The ten commandments were written on a stone! Not on a Book called “Holy Book”. If the Book where the Bible was printed on becomes Holy Book, then my android phone is “Holy Android” because God’s word is inside it. Than

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i

Life Lessons from the Clock

Photo credit: Wikipedia Staring at my clock one sunny afternoon at home, I began to notice some unique features of the clock which could also help imbibe in us important life lessons which when practiced will enable us get to the peak of success in our various endeavors. Let us take a look at these features; 1. Each ticking of the second hand offers you another opportunity to start all over again . That is, giving up when you fail should be the last option in your mind. There's always an opportunity to start all over and do things differently. And always remember, for a child of God, this opportunity comes with renewed mercies to help you. Lamentations 3:23. 2. Once a particular set time passes, it cannot be regained anymore. It's gone FOREVER!!.  Therefore make the most of every opportunity. Yes, I know it contradicts the first lesson. But think about this deeply. When you have an opportunity to do something, make sure you make the most of it cause even if you get anot

The Betrayal – A Short Story

(Part 1) "I think my husband is cheating on me" Eukera informs her baby Sister. "How do you know, or did he confess this himself?" Esther asks as she returns to the sitting room with a tray containing fruits.. She always entertains her Sister this way. "I know it, I'm not a baby you know. I will find that lady who has the guts to go out with my husband, and when I do.. Oh Lord, Oh Jehovah, She will regret ever being born", Eukera answers as she bites into an apple she had just taken off the tray her sister had brought. "I will recommend you do not conclude based on just a hunch. If he is really cheating on you, we will find out one day. I personally will get him arrested and dealt with. As for the lady, let me not even say anything". "Hahahaha, I trust you, but that won't be necessary. I can handle this. Thanks Sis". Just then, Eukera's phone rings. It's a call from her office. She grabs another apple, hurriedly g

Treat Him like a King

By -
Image
I love to talk about men. And the reason is very simple: • All men are unique. • They are our pride. • They are the beauty that we have as women. Most times, I tell my friends that when you treat your man like a King, he will worship you like a Queen. Never disrespect your man, he is the reason why people are calling you Madame. Stop looking down on him because you think he is already your husband, and so nothing can happen. Believe me, there are a lots of ladies out there who are willing to pay any amount just to have that same men you are insulting everyday. If you learn how to take good care of your husband he will always make you the envy of all. Don't be ashamed to try new things. A lady is a blessing to her husband, not trouble, pain and heartbreak. Make your husband your best friend. Your husband should be able to say, "Honey, I'm favoured because I have You as my wife". Your calls and presence should never remind him of how much a mistake he may have

You are Stronger than the Storms

By -

Just when you feel you have it all together and you feel like all your problems are under control, life advances like a disastrous hurricane to blow our fragile confidence to smithereens. The safety and peace we fought so hard to build are destroyed and our souls exposed to fear and intense doubts once again. This is the way of life. Stand strong in your resolve to turn things around and weather the storm like a warrior. The second storm usually comes to test our faith and confirm our resolve to be the best that we can be. Gradually all that falls apart start falling back into place like magic. Avoid the temptation of giving up and going back to your old ways. Resist the lure of returning to the comfort of your past. The universe will protect you and ensure that the damage is minimal. Take responsibility for your life and drive forward with hope and passion. Never let the storms of life blow out the fire of desire that burns within. By: Uchenna Ilo

Doing what makes You fulfilled matters

WAEC result was out and all of my friends took an early trip to the cyber café to print theirs out. It was 2006. We didn't have smart phones to plug us into their website. In a few hours, friends were already calling the landline we had at home. A very brilliant friend, one I had a heavy crush on, called to say she had Bs in all the important subjects and more. I hadn't seen mine. My first trip to the café wasn't fruitful. Network was jammed, the site was busy. I was asked to come back late in the evening. All day, I was subjected to congratulating people who had results I secretly feared would be better than mine. By afternoon, I got swallowed up in anxiety. I could no longer sit behind the phone waiting on my friends to call about their results. I ran to another café far from my area. After wriggling through a crowd of equally terrified students gathering around a monitor, I submitted my details to the operator. In a giffy, a bright yellow page started emerging. Mathema

Quickly, how are you? Hope not as bad as the mentality of a Nigerian university graduate? If not, listen to me. ----- Was it not on the convocation arena of one of the 'big' Universities of the country that I asked my friend, Daniel, "Nna what next?" He looked at me with a readily astonished face and said: "O boy na NYSC nah". Two years after, he was left with nothing but waiting for Yakubu Gowon to call him up for NYSC. You see, thank God I have been fortunate enough to see the world out of where I was meant to be. Unfortunately also, I lived a lot of my life with people who were too traditional – People who are used to doing one thing the same way from the beginning of the life of their ancestors to the day they die. Growing up in Africa is worst than growing up in darkness. In fact, it's indescribable – the mental limitation of a typical African youth growing up in this third world. They see what they believe they cannot do. The only way to the de
