I thought of the second movie to write about and I picked this one. It is one amazing movie I love to watch repeatedly. After the first time I watched it on my mobile, it was deleted. I had to search for it and get it back, and since then, its been there. 3 Idiots is an Indian movie starring Aamir Khan (Ranchoddas Shamaldas Chanchad / Chhote / Phunsukh Wangdu), R. Madhavan (Farhan Qureshi), Sharman Joshi (Raju Rastogi), Kareena Kapoor (Pia Sahastrabuddhe), Boman Irani (Dr Viru Sahastrabuddhe; the Engineering college Director), Omi Vaidya (Chatur Ramalingam) and Rahul Kumar (Millimeter), among others. Photo Credit: Wikipedia Readers, if you haven't watched this movie, I'll recommend you do.

Rancho taught this lesson to his friends, Raju and Fahran. While Rancho came first at...

The WORD Quotes today is credited to a colleague of mine, Jioke Snipes Ekems. The Quotes: • If You try to resist the devil before submitting to God, You will lose. • The walls of satan can be so subtle. You miss one prayer at a time. Your prayer alter dies slowly. When he hits, it looks as if it was sudden. Satan is powerless but not stupid. • There is no much difference between the one doing the preaching and the one taking the notes. They both face the same challenges. • God's blessing may not follow protocol. So don't expect God to take a particular route. He can bless you from any angle. • Everything God put inside of You will not be used in heaven. Use it here on earth. Die empty. Jioke Snipes Ekems

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -
Image
This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Let's check up Sickle Cell Anaemia

By -
Image
It was World Sickle Cell Day some hours ago (June 19), so I decided to do a piece on Sickle Cell Anaemia (a Sickle Cell Disease). Our Blood consists of four major distinct types of blood cells, one of which is the Red blood cells. These Red blood cells contains a protein, Haemoglobin, which is responsible for transporting Oxygen around the body. (Of course, we know we can't live without Oxygen!). This protein, Haemoglobin, in its normal form (Haemoglobin A), enables the Red blood cells have a normal shape (disc shape), but when in a mutated form (Haemoglobin S), results in Red blood cells that are sickle-shaped. The normal disc-shaped Red blood cells are flexible and can easily move through small and large blood cells and around the body to supply oxygen to various body tissues and organs, but the sickle-shaped Red blood cells can't easily do this. They are rigid. Most times, they get stucked in the blood vessels and tend to block the vessels, preventing blood flow and oxygen...

Years ago, when I was still clawed by masturbation; I desperately needed help. The more I engaged in masturbation, the more I hated myself. But still, I couldn't get off the claws. I consulted several men of God who offered different solutions to my problem. One of the solutions a certain man of God offered got me off my butt. He said I would need to stop eating okra (ila). Of course, I believed him. Desperation makes you do anything, no matter how stupid it is. I thanked God my problem would end. Okra was one of my most-desired soups, but I had no choice. The man said I would stop masturbating if I strictly adhered to his so-called God-given instruction. I tried everything possible to avoid okra. No matter how much I desired and needed it, I still avoided it. For three years, my problem persisted. I masturbated even more. Still, I believed this man's lie, and still avoided okra, thinking Okra would mysteriously end my addiction. Even when I believed, and read the Word, I st...
