Be The CHANGE

Once upon a while, our affable history tutor often reminded us of the need to be measured In our thoughts, and deeds while we walk through the corridors of time. "Remember, as you walk, you are writing you own history," he would usually stress.  Indeed, as you may be aware by now, great works never die, and never would their author's memory be erased from sands of time. Good deeds do not only affect us but our children's children.  It's a fact that times are hard and some may be prone to cut corners and might be tempted to yield to certain temptations. But be reminded not to give in to the pressures and tension brought by the present circumstances of the world. Be firm and stand resolute to live a humane life and defend the right course wherever we may be. While we pray, plan, and play today; While we stretch, string our thoughts; While we reflect and number our days here; While we eat, drink, laugh, and walk our talk; And while we commit our efforts t

Concern for Reform

Several concerns were relayed to our maker the order day in our supplication. It's a distressing call about how we have become and allowed ourselves to be consumed by these subtle deeds. From the corridors of power, in our schools, through the aisle of our religious centres, in the wards of our hospitals, our ministries, on our streets and almost everywhere, the quality of our smiles is at its lowest. And we've got to talk about our deadly greed that is causing our economies to bleed heavily. We have to talk about our negligence that's causing the needless death of thousands of our compatriots. We have to talk about our deadly interests and attitude that's gradually killing us daily. We have to cultivate the attitude to ensure that our system delivers the right things for our wellbeing. We have to individually and collectively stop condoning and smiling to the misdeeds of our love ones, who offer us terrible services, and also find the courage to praise our perce

A NECESSARY EVIL

There will be no need for code of ethics, rules and regulations, institutions and functions or reward and punishment or even the need for a value system if people and social institutions were perfect. There will be no need for checks and balances or peer-reviews or monitoring and evaluation if our governance institutions were perfectly executing the task of effective and efficient governance. The need for authentic progress demands that there was an avenue correct and address defects in the system, so that we get the best. Consistent reforms, reflections and reviews or occasional reminders are needed to keep us on the right moral balance. Though inevitable, REFORMS, consistent with our  value system are much needed today to help  improve upon our lives, our communities and our society as a whole. So even as we yearn  for transformation in every facet of our lives, may we not just pray for credible and effective Reforms in our lives, but to be strengthen to do the little things we o

CONSTANT REFORM

We ain't safe if we continue abuse the goodness of the Lord. We ain't safe if we allow the pleasures of strange gods to confuse us. We ain't safe, if we continue to deceive ourselves, murder truth and virtue of the sages and sacrifice our souls for materials gains. It is a fact we all have interesting intents interacting with our interests. It is a fact we evolve strategic schemes and stands to justify our strange stakes. But in all these happenings, Prophet Jeremiah reminds us to Reform our ways and deeds so that Yahweh may remain with us (Ref to Jer. 7:3-7). It is still worthy trusting the Lord, instead of putting our trust in deceitful words and ways of the world. Be on guard in all your dealings, and be inspired to embrace through reform and change. Although it is difficult to practice, the good news is that it is still possible with the help of the Lord your God. Have a blessed weekend. Good morning. #KYB ✍ #
