LIVING BRANDS

We hear it every year. We try to write them down too. Some say it's  to do list for the first week or first month of the year. But in reality the resolutions we made from the review of the past year are to guide us better our lots. They are to help us live in that ideal state and keep our focus on our overall goal. This is because you and I have  living brands to sell. You and I have living brains to create and recreate. You and I are blessed beings with unlimited reserve of ideas to be useful. But the truth is that there'll always be challenges. There'll always be higher challenges with every step we take. There'll always be challenges with every choice or hard decision we make today.  Whatever our brands maybe, let's add a creative touch to it. Whatever our styles maybe, let's add value to it. Whatever our problems maybe, let's develop problem-solving mindset to solve them. Let's develop effective strategies to rema

🌺NEWNESS IN HAPPINESS🌺

Amazing Grace breathes New  freshness; Divine Providence adds its new package of good health, financial breakthrough, dignified employment, favour to be fruitful and answered prayers for a progressive Life.    And Blessed Assurance also stirs a certain New Blessing, New Favour, New  Positivism, coupled with New Possibilities and New Consciousness to arouse success in all your endeavours. So never belittle what God can still do in your Life in this New  Year. Never rule out the awakening flames in the newness of this New YEAR DAY. Never underestimate the reviving and reassuring kindness of God to restore you to Glory in all facets of your Life.   Let's anticipate and live the peace in this year! Let's embrace Good virtues and live them!! Let our ATTITUDE also reflect a people willing to live the abundant blessings flowing in this New YEAR. Keep higher Hopes, Keep peaceful pace, Keep progressive prospects, Keep pressing on and pushing, Keep purs

🌷CREATIVE END OF YEAR 🌷

Same time last year, I was in town not to crossover or watch the might of the last day's night but to feel the air of the last day. It was somewhat noisy, phony and funny but I just didn't like the depth of creativity in the way Christians were using to cash-inn on the last day of the calendar. Today is the D-Day or call it the mother of All-nights or the Climax of all the overs: in Crossover, Climb over, Crawl over, Jump over, Scale over, Scream or Shout over, Sprint over, Run over, Pray or Push over, Watch or Walk over, Take over, Limp over, Jet over, Dive over, Lift over etcetera. It's not just enough to do the watch night and the so-called crossing overs but to soberly reflect on our lives, our attitudes in the past 365 days. We need to interrogate our efforts, our Care, our thoughts and our actions or inaction, so that we will individually and collectively access our selves. Even in our reviews, overviews, and counter-views of our efforts in 2015 we can't

FROM JANUARY TO DECEMBER

From January to January, we've heard intriguing news of the jingles in our smiles. From January to February, we've heard frivolous tales of our begging state. From January to March, we've matched the transitional tricks of our Masters shadows. From January to April, we've argued our approaches to advance the adverse averages in our areas. From January to May, we've marvelled at God's marvellous mercies on our merciless murky moves. From January to June, we've juggled and survived the trauma of needless perennial deaths in disasters. From January to July, we've juggle through the journey of jogging with our limping economy and the possibility of borrowing more or jetting to sign IMF's bitter relief. From January to August, we've adjusted the distasteful grief in our creed of greed which still bleeds the blessings in our nation. From January to September, we've stepped and stumbled on the sages in our salutations. From January to O

LIVE YOUR DREAM

Living dreams chasing living souls in an interesting living heart. I want to penetrate to the heart and soul of that dream and perhaps reach the one who ordained them... It is a revolutionary omen for those who can take the test of life. It is a quest we must take to the next level. Even as 2016 beckons in the walkways of time, may we take our dreams seriously and plant our feet on the pedal of progress to accelerate our efforts to live in the newness and beauty of these wondrous gifts of time. Let us keep dreaming good dreams. Let us keep refining these good dreams in our hearts. Let us keep trying the strategies our dreams evokes. Let us keep living in the sunshine Divine Hope imbues in our dreams. Let us keep embracing the inspiration our dreams respires to do great things. May God bless our daily efforts. Be blessed

THANK YOU

We've been through better and bitter tides of blessings over the year. We've seen and heard many interesting and unpalatable news over the year. We've walked and talked through our thoughts of affection in solidarity this year.  Our hope in the rich possibilities of Life, with Divine touch has brought us this far. Fact is that God has been good to us, no matter our challenges, misgivings and troubles. Though we may be imperfect, we cannot stop trying. We cannot stop rethinking and walking our talk. Although we may not have a smooth ride in life and we may not be where we desire to be, Martin Luther King reminds us that "we must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite Hope." For making time to read these pieces every day, thank you. For making time to share your thoughts, I am grateful. For making those useful suggestions to improve this art, I am greatly indebted. Thank you for stoking fire in this creative belief. Thank you for ch

NEW POSSIBILITIES

There's a subtle air blowing above the misty wind that calms the many why's of life's unending questions. There's an assuring quest that still floats on top of the dusty confusing winds of our circumstances.  There's this wind of revival that calmly brings the rejuvenating good news of new possibilities to us. And even as we crawl the next 72hrs to the end of 2015; As we take stalk of events of this year; As we reflect on the pledges, promises, plans and projections of this year, We can all attest to the fact that the Lord has been good, even with our numerous challenges. That a King/President is not saved by the might of his army, nor secured by the weapons in their magazines; That our investments in power, titles, cars, houses and other securities or investment portfolios cannot guarantee our total safety; means we have to seek and revere our ultimate source of Hope, Love and Care to keep us alive even in time of difficulty or famine. May the Almighty Cr

STAND FIRM

They called it an in-out-out -out policy introduced recently at our Public Universities, to manage the little accommodation space for students on campus. It's an uncomfortable policy that generated a lot argument among the students and the public for some time, which was passed anyway. There is always an entry point and an exit one. Yesterday, we joined Christians to commemorate Christmas; today we remember the martyrdom of St. Stephen, tauted as the first martyr of Christianity. Truth is that as one enters another exits. Entrance and Exit are two sides of the same coin. As you enjoy the peace in the season, remember your Exit too. In his famous poem: All the World's a Stage, William Shakespeare noted that "All the world's a stage And all the men and women merely players; They have their exits and their entrances, And one man in his time plays many parts, His acts being seven ages." In the passing moments of time, just beware of the different human tende

HAPPY FAMILY DAY

Some may qualify as being too correct or too incorrect or even unconcerned. Some may also be correctly incorrect, while others might just be incorrectly correct. There are those who are annoyingly unaware of the way they affect others, while others may be stubbornly unrepentant troublemakers or nonconformists. We say they're some way because we've not been able to tame or baptize their incorrect behaviour. Yet, it's sad how, we who incorrectly parade our correctness or think we're more correct to judge the incorrectness in others, often fall in the incurable trap of incorrectness. The adage that there's a Mensah in every house is just to tell the sorry cynical truth that every household has one or two bad nuts and that there is a degree of imperfections in every family. We might perceive or know these troublesome members of our family; and knowing very well that we can't sack them, we might sometimes ignore or treat them with contempt, but to get
