• Saudi Arabia has banned chess, because apparently it teaches you to go against a king, which is not acceptable to them. Also, because that's one place where the female (Queen) has more freedom to move around than the male (King).

• The DNA of gorillas is highly similar to that of humans, from 95–99%, and they are the next closest living relatives to humans after the chimpanzees and bonobos.

• Closing your eyes helps you remembering things.

• Snakes can't blink.

• Food actually tastes better when others make them for you – When we make food, we get desensitized to the smell.

We once heard that the Television was the devil's box

By -

Passing by a church over the weekend, my thoughts revolved about a noticeable trend that have stayed in Nigeria, I believe for about a decade or so. You must have observed same. Churches in recent years now use Religious broadcasting (which is broadcasting by religious organizations, usually with a religious message) to conduct LIVE services. So, a head quarter church in any part of the country can easily broadcast to any of their satellite churches, and you see people in this satellite churches agreeing and seeing visible results. Several years ago, people will never try that. They will wonder why you should be looking at somebody in a box, and be dancing, singing and even believe same for miracles. What foolishness? The television was named the devil's box by some sect. Today, the story now is different, even though some people are still holding on to that. In fact, I saw a comic image yesterday which showed some people at heaven's gate and they were told they will have ...

• We all have that one girl/guy that we can’t get and he/she has no idea you like him/her. • When you are with the person you love most, every pain you have and every sadness you feel, fades away instantly. • Most people are so lazy to LOVE, all the commitments and devotions involved is too much of a work. • The only thing man lacks when it comes to women is: Patience. The only thing woman lacks when it comes to men is: Endurance. • Dating an awkward person is less stressful. You laugh more and have more fun which improves quality of life and overall health. • Keep smiling. You never know who is falling in love with it. • Sometimes the best way to appreciate something is to be without it for a while. • Eating your food slowly will help you lose weight, enjoy your food, reduce stress, and lead to better digestion. • Some people aren't actually anti social, they're just very selective when it comes to the people they associate with. • While you're busy looking for t...

Some Relationship quotes by MG

Image
I love to share some relationship quotes by a colleague, great friend and a contributor on this blog, Musa Gift (MG). Musa Gift (MG) Here are the quotes: • When You have given your All in a relationship, and it's still not enough; then it's time to rethink if you are giving it to the Right person. To the wrong Person, all you are or can become will never be enough. To the Right Person, You are already enough. • Only weak men get intimidated by strong women. The Strong celebrate The Strong! • God made You someone's spouse; not to give the person competition , but to give that person Completion . Stop competing, Start Completing! • People do not get married with a plan to end it in Divorce. Divorce is the result of people getting married without a plan on how NOT to end in divorce. Have a Plan. Great marriages do not happen by mistake. Be intentional about your marriage.

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...

Drop the Pretence!

By -
Image
Have You found yourself pretending before God? Well, You may begin to think in the lines of hypocrisy but that's not what I'm taking about. Remember that step You were not willing to take but You just acted as though you were excited about doing it so You won't get God angry. Remember that Bible verse You have not come to believe but You pretended You did just to make God happy with You. I can go on and on but I think You get what I mean. At this point I want to tell You to drop the pretence. The earlier You realize that God is okay with You being honest, the better for You. Even if your honesty reflects immaturity, don't worry. Tell God your doubts, tell Him those things You are skeptical about. Tell it to Him. Be honest about it and God won't send thunder and brimstone after You, rather He will teach You. The Holy Spirit is our teacher, but He won't teach You if You go on pretending You know it. Drop the pretence and come into the realm of honesty with God. ...

Why do People think that Introverts are Rude or Arrogant?

By -
Image
Myth #1 – Introverts don’t like to talk. This is not true. Introverts just don’t talk unless they have something to say. They hate small talk. Get an introvert talking about something they are interested in, and they won’t shut up for days. Myth #2 – Introverts are shy. Shyness has nothing to do with being an Introvert. Introverts are not necessarily afraid of people. What they need is a reason to interact. They don’t interact for the sake of interacting. If you want to talk to an Introvert, just start talking. Don’t worry about being polite. Myth #3 – Introverts are rude. Introverts often don’t see a reason for beating around the bush with social pleasantries. They want everyone to just be real and honest. Unfortunately, this is not acceptable in most settings, so Introverts can feel a lot of pressure to fit in, which they find exhausting. Myth #4 – Introverts don’t like people. On the contrary, Introverts intensely value the few friends they have. They can count their close fr...

Love has no logic, it is blind to logic

By -

Love originates from the soul and can only be given, felt, received and appreciated by the soul. Love is our essence, love is wisdom, and love is a spiritual concept. If God is love and God is a spirit, then love must be a spirit and loving must thus be a spiritual activity at its core. We find it impossible to love because we live from the mind. The mind functions on logic and reason but love has no reason or logic to it, that's why true love is inexpiable and most times seems like foolishness to people of the world. The mind is continually seeking for a reason to love and it has criteria for qualifying and disqualifying people for love. True love is blind to such logic because you don't need a reason to love anybody; you love because it is natural to do so. When we use our mind to qualify and quantify love, we will end up in suspicion and mistrust. Unconsciousness is when our mind controls our behaviour but consciousness is when our soul observes and controls our mind. Only p...

This is one of the best shortest books I've read so far. It's so short (about 41 pages) that one could finish it within a couple of hours. But every page of it; almost every paragraph of it has an inspiring bomb! It's a book one could go through every morning if possible, or maybe at the beginning of the week. It's cool! Think like a Champion was written by America's 45th and current president, Donald Trump. Donald is a successful businessman and television personality, and he shares so much successful tips that's helpful to everyone who wants success and wants to stay successful. I'll share a little of what I learnt from this book. I want you to get this book, and have some mental fun with it, as well. • Never sell yourself short! No matter what, maintain your faith and believe in yourself and your abilities. Don't compromise to please others. If you're talented and passionate about something, make positive use of that talent and pa...
