  Hello, blissful couple, Consider these words: "Sacrifice strengthens the bond of any relationship. It is the utmost expression of love." There is this story of a couple whose marriage was becoming tumultuous. This was so mainly because the man was profligate and a philanderer. The woman remained in the marriage for ten years despite being unhappy with the status quo. Her friends and family repeatedly urged her to ditch the man. A friend said her happiness was paramount and divorcing him was the only recourse to ensure that. The woman remained in the marriage and refused them all. When asked why she said that the amount of blood of the covenant that binds her marriage was way thicker than the water of convenience. She fondly recalled how this same husband jumped in front of a speeding truck to save her life. She remembered how he labored unceasingly to encourage and support her when she was incapacitated with illness after the delivery of her first child. This man had c

  Hello Friends, Here is a short story for your lesson: A few years ago, I was privileged to teach Microsoft Excel to some clients. In the process of the lessons I introduced the use and functions of formulae and how to formulate them. We then went ahead to run some practice exercises. One of my students had a harder time understanding. So, when I gave that student a unique exercise to do, he asked his colleague for THE formulae to use on his exercise. You can imagine that it did not work as well as he expected. When he asked me why the formulae did not work for him, my answer was "There is NO one-formulae-fits all". .What's the lesson of this boring story, you may ask? . . The lesson is simply that no one has a unilateral protocol/formulae to solving all of life's challenges. It is erroneous for you to use the protocol for solving one problem as given by one individual in a particular clime to attempt solve another in your own environment. What works for Mr. A may no

Hello friends, The dictionary defines RELEVANCE as the quality or state of being closely connected or appropriate. Marriage does not happen for happening sake. Relationships are built on the unspoken foundation of relevance. Relevance to genealogy Relevance to well being Relevance to emotional state of mind Relevance to future and growth Relevance to status and pride Relevance to wealth Relevance to pleasure and happiness People (consciously or unconsciously) shed off people who become irrelevant to them. Then when irrelevance changes to harmful association, that person becomes an enemy. Now, in love relationships, some people take this very important foundational principle for granted. They erroneously assume that love would/should solve what ever imbalance their ignorance or negligence may cause. This is wrong. Your spouse or significant other loves you for a reason. The concept of a reason-less love is an unrealistic fantasy. You are relevant to him/her on varied levels. Your choice

Hello friends, I hope you are all keeping safe this season! Conversing with friends this period, a lot of young people are beginning to lose the "free-spiritedness" they used to pride themselves in. When suddenly faced with the probability of demise as experienced by the staggering news of death during this pandemic, they decide they no longer want to remain "unshackled". So, a little advice to you all, hope it makes sense and helps in your decision-making process! . . . SEX IS NOT AN EXPRESSION OF LOVE, SACRIFICE IS. You do NOT need to have sex to show your love just as people do NOT necessarily love those they have sexual relations with. This is the core reason why the LGBTQ movement is full of foolishness and deceit. They claim it is an expression of love. Love made them have queer sexual fetishes. A man decides to have sex with his fellow man through unnatural means and claim it is his expression of love. This is the height of foo

THREE TYPICAL STORIES IN NIGERIA (*** True Stories ***) A lady was recommended for a job in Canada. Her flight ticket was paid and she went for the interview, got to the interview venue and sat with the others. The interviewers saw her and somehow they were disgusted at her. She was chewing gum complacently. They summarily dismissed her and sent her back. A day later the man who recommended her gave her a call asking why she misbehaved at the interview hall. She was shocked at the query and asked him how. He recounted that the interviewers called him and reported that she was uncouth, chewing gum. She lamented that she never chewed gum. Infact, she was fasting prior to the interview and had been so for a week to the D-day. She has never been known to chew gum. (Village people at work) A man has been looking for job for a while. He went for an interview in Lagos and he performed so well that the Project Manager noted him and even gifted him several face masks. They promis

Just a short one from a message I just heard that blessed me: Not everybody you come across is meant to rise with you. Just like a booster system for a rocket, some people are meant to boost you to a certain height and then break away. DO NOT HOLD ON TO THEM. Use the momentum and move on. They have fulfilled their purpose in your life. People often forget that we are all on different journies moving at different speeds to different locations for different purposes on different schedules. IT'S RIDICULOUS TO COMPARE YOUR PROGRESS WITH ANOTHER. If you must compare or compete, do so with your history. Try to be better than you were and reach higher than you have! God bless you. - E. I.

Hello guys,  Here is a little something that I have been mulling for a while now about my generation! . . . My generation ... The jet age people ... Millenials, some are called ... . . . . . Smart children, born from the overcompensation of determined parents.  Parents who were born poor and swore their children must live rich... Parents who suffered grievous harm and swore to show their children gentleness ... Parents who bore the yoke of religious ignorance and swore to gift their children the liberty of the mind ... Parents who toiled to escape poverty so that their children would laze in wealth ... . . . . . You see, these kids know alot and will not be lead.  They refuse to be yoked and so run in their illuminated sense right into oblivion.  . . . When my generation believes there is NO God, they insult the intelligence of millions of their forebears who have had encounters with God! When with quick-witted
