I OWN NOTHING; I DESERVE NOTHING

Image
Yesterday, 5 th of September was my birthday, but unlike the previous ones, I did not inform anyone about it, I did not post my yearly speech and did not change my DP on all my social media platforms as I usually do on my birthdays. Birthday is something that almost everyone looks forward to; it is only day in a year that some people get to be celebrated, it is nothing different with me. However, Infinite Intelligence told me not to inform anyone about it.    As his student, I knew there was a lesson for me, which will only come after I had obeyed. I could not wait for my birthday to pass, so I could get the lesson. At the early hours of my birthday, Infinite Intelligence began to speak to me on why he told me to be quiet about my birthday. The reason was for me to learn an important lesson in life, maybe not for me, but for others.   But let us begin with these questions: Why should everyone celebrate my birthday? How many people’s birthdays ...

HOW TO BE BEAUTIFUL FOR ETERNITY

Image
When God made the world, he said it is beautiful, but it seems the world has become rather ugly, despite the beautiful inventions. We have refused to invest in the beauty of humanity. Only we can make the world continue to be beautiful, but for us to be able to do that we must invest in our own beauties first. Jesus Christ compared this sort of beauty to salt and light. Investing in self-beauty is one investment, which a lot of people ignore. Do not confuse this to wearing beautiful apparels and applying make-ups. It is far from it. This has nothing to do with the physical beauty of individuals. Majority of people spend all their resources on expensive apparels, jewelries and many other beauty accessories, with the belief that they make them beautiful, but while this beautifies the body, it has nothing to do with the beauty of self and humanity. The beauty of humanity begins with the development of the minds of individuals. Leaving their minds unkempt is a...

HOW TO AVOID BECOMING AN UNEDUCATED LITERATE

Image
We all know that illiteracy is a disease, but not many of us know that there is a disease worse than illiteracy, it is: literacy without education. A lot of people confuse literacy with being educated; but they are not the same. You may be able to speak the best of English language, yet be uneducated. Literacy is the ability to read, write and communicate in the official language of your community. Anybody can be a literate, but to be educated takes a lot of efforts. To be educated means to have drawn out the potentials from within, in connection with passions, and develop them for the benefit of oneself and at least, the community in which one lives. Going by this definition, you may understand that even with PhDs some people are still uneducated. If you go through life suffering from inferiority complex, because you are not a student or a graduate of any higher institution, then you do not know the meaning of education, neither are you educated. However, y...

BOOK ALERT: IDENTIFYING AND OVERCOMING THE FRIENDLY FOE (Shattering the strategies of the subtle killer)

Image
“Identifying And Overcoming the Friendly Foe” is a book written to help people identify and overcome a common enemy of almost everyone now living, who is very difficult to detect, because he acts as best friend. This book is a necessity, especially for everyone with a good heart, and those that trust easily. No part of this book is a fiction; it is a book drafted from life experiences of the author and that of many others, who have come in touch with this foe. It is quite easy to pick out an enemy that appears as enemy, but identifying an enemy that outwardly acts as your best friend is one of the most difficult tasks on earth In fact, this friendly foe gives his victims advice which will subsequently lead to their ruins, but he’s so smart that he’s hardly ever suspected. He may constantly gift you things you feel you can’t possibly get without his help, but these things will eventually lead to your ruin. Moreover, he will lead you to an end which is worse than ph...

WHY A LOT OF PEOPLE SUFFER AND SMILE

Image
  Among the nations of the world, Nigeria has gained the reputation of suffering and smiling. This may explain why corruption thrives here. Suffering and smiling means compromising with situations which one does not like and it is a thing we do best in Nigeria.   Nigerians complain a lot and get angry among themselves in secret, but will smile and never express such indignation, where it is needed for their situations to change. This explains why fighting corrupt people, is one of the most useless ventures in Nigeria. The evidence can be seen in Buhari’s administration. Fighting corruption in a country like Nigeria is like waging war against yourself; it is useless!   Nigerians love corruption; they idolize corrupt people. Fight corrupt people and you’d be the villain in the end. The people for whom you fight will turn against you, because they love to suffer and smile; it is a reputation for which they are ready to die, so why take away their braggi...

CAN YOU CONSIDER YOURSELF SUCCESSFUL WITHOUT MONEY?

Image
During a discussion sometimes ago, I said making money is not my ultimate goal in life. I also mentioned that I am a successful man; despite I do not have any material things, enough to qualify me for that. The people with whom I was conversing disagreed, to them; I must have money to become successful. Does saying I am successful mean I don’t need money? Does it mean I am satisfied with financially handicap? The answer is NO! My desire to be the richest writer in the world, yes, in the world! – This desire remains unchanged. But before we move on, let me state it very clear here, that if your ultimate goal in life is to make money, you must be sure you don’t have a life yet. Take note of the clause ULTIMATE GOAL. Surely, I love money and what it brings, but it is not and never will be my ultimate goal in life. It means, in a simple statement, that with or without money, my life would have been well-lived, although it may be tough. The difference between...
