CONFORMITY WILL JAIL YOU! O.D.M. Tues 20 Septembe 2016.

A neighbour offered me a lift. I haven't spoken to him before, aside from normal "Nigerian greeting." Na so the guy asked me why, I do not come out to associate with my neighbours, I asked how, he said my mere greeting is not enough that I can go a step further to be asking them how is work? Etc. (Lol I wonder what they talk about, the ladies and gentlemen, all those evening they sit in that shop and I pass by I don't do idle sitting, or idle talking, or gossiping, I don't have time to waste. my surface friendliness should be enough, except we become friends, and I can count my friends, this is because I guard my peace of mind jealously). I asked if I don't associate why he offered a lift nah? He said he wanted me to see the benefit of associating with neighbours. When we were done talking he was surprised. Of course I had a lot to tell him "A paraphrased excerpt" You do not need a lot of friends in your life! You do not need to be popular and gregarious and overly friendly to lead a good life. You can be nice and unnoticed, but If you have an overly friendly nature and you put yourself out there, no problems. Especially if it is working for you. Do not take it easy with those who think they know what you should do with your life. People no matter how you live life, will find a problem with it. Do not let them bother you. You know why? Because Nobody cares if you live or die, nobody askes you how many times you eat a day. People don't care, there are only curious and poke nosers, and fault finders and wants to see how far you may have gone ahead of them(except close ”blood" and friends) so don't care to please them. Lead a life you can defend before God, do as much good as you can and leave the rest before the weight kills you. I will cap it up by taking an instance from an event in Apostle Paul's life, Galatians 1 vs 10-24. Paul only met Peter 3 years after his conversation and he didn't fraternize with any other apostle except that he met James the brother of Jesus. Maybe he didn't need to be known and kiss the asses of other Apostles, He had a different Mission and focus. He was sent to the Gentiles not the Jews. Take full control of your life! ~Do not, I repeat, do not! allow the society dictate the way you choose to live.

DO NOT BE GUITY OF FAILED PARENTAL RESPONSIBILITY!

It is not a waste of money to take your children through standard schools, especially primary and secondary school. Their ways of reasoning and speaking, are mainly affected by their interaction and training in these periods of their lives. It is not a bad idea for your child to attend boarding schools also, especially those schools that have high level of discipline and care. Boarding school makes them to have stronger personalities, to be independent-decision-makers. And give them focus, and a sense of purpose. It has it disadvantages also, which might be that the child may join bad companies. However the chance of a well trained Godly child to escape from bad company, is high. I didn't consider it. Being bullied may be another disadvantage, but this one could act to make the child stronger and to device means to overcome the act of being bullied. The burden to inculcate good virtues, beliefs and values into them, is solely on the parents. Which should be done daily and inten...

CALM DOWN,BAD SITUATIONS DO CHANGE! PATIENTLY WAIT FOR IT.

30 days and counting we ceased to have electricity in our city, this is Africa, this situation isn't strange. Then, I had read in the news where the Electrical Engineers stated that it may last this long. I had to stay in this state of black-out for that long. Few days ago, thankfully it was on a weekend, our precious electricity was restored, the room, the kitchen, everywhere lited up. All my mind kept telling me was, I survived, wow, I survived. Yea, truly I'd survived. During those period of darkness, I had to take my few essential electrically rechargeables to charge at work, then, I would plug my power bank at my landlord's house in the night time till 11pm, after using it to recharge my phone, the phone which I had succeeded in 'browsing' away its battery. The life without electricity was a little bit tiring at the beginning, but overtime, I got accustomed to it, it became a routine. I smoothly glided through like a new way of life. Then I was lying pea...
