STRANGERS IN THE UNKNOWN LAND

-

THE UNKNOWN LAND human being lives in is a mystery.
Today, something is created from the dust. Tomorrow, something created from the dust returns to become dust again.
The Creator Creates; and the Creator takes.
So does the rotation occur in every 365/366 days.
Because we are all STRANGERS and visitors in the UNKNOWN LAND.


Your certificate of education will no longer exist.
Your riches and wealth will no longer be able to buy luxurious possessions.
Your wisdom, knowledge and understanding will quench like when water quenches a blazing fire.
Because we are all STRANGERS in the UNKNOWN LAND.

Your mouth that is full of authority will no longer be able to control even a teenager.
Your riches and wealth will no longer be able to hold the poor captive.
Your mind and body full of powers will no longer be able to enforce sufferings on any man.
Your tongue that lashes pains, curses, pride and selfish words will lie still.
Your body will become a feeding ground for another creature of the Creator.
Because we are all STRANGERS in the UNKNOWN LAND

All your internal and external body systems will no longer be able to raise you up from your deep slumber.
Your eyes will not be able to see new STRANGERS and visitors again.
Your mouth full of songs, promises, blessings and eulogies will not be able to welcome the new STRANGERS into the UNKNOWN LAND.
Alas! Your deep slumber takes you back home where you won't have the opportunity to come back to the UNKNOWN LAND.
You are already in the underground of the UNKNOWN LAND where it is impossible for you to see yourself as a STRANGER in the UNKNOWN LAND.
Because we are all STRANGERS and visitors in the UNKNOWN LAND.

In the underground, what will be the only thing left?
The only thing left will be Your immortal soul that the Creator gave you when moulding you with a dust.
No more power and authority.
No more riches and wealth.
No more wisdom, knowledge and understanding to fraud people.
Because we are all STRANGERS in the UNKNOWN LAND.

THE MAN CALLED GARRI (Things you don't know about Garri)

Garri, is processed cassava tubers, and has become a much wanted staple food in Nigeria. Once considered to be food for the poor, garri is gradually slipping out of the reach of ordinary Nigerians who sometimes cannot do without helping themselves to a plate of eba (or garri flour mixed in hot water) or its soaked version every day. Someone once shared with me that the businesses that will continue as long as human civilisation remains are those businesses that meet the basic needs of man, i.e. food, clothing, health, and shelter. There is a great sense in this. This is because as long as we are alive, we would require good and quality food, good clothing, good shelter and good health to lead an acceptable level of existence. Nigerian communities must begin to look at developing businesses that can address these basic needs. This is why garri processing plant is one great business opportunity that fits this mould. The industrial processing of cassava in Nigeria holds much potentia

THE MISTAKE OF THE CHURCH (Adebowale Ibukun Tosin)

-
Evidently, several youths are tired of church. The old conservative approach void of serious bible study and training in prayer is too weak to keep them in church. While the sermon is on, many are either on twitter, Instagram, Facebook or Whatsapp, just chatting away their time. Quite interesting is how some of these young folks attend church only because their parents have made it compulsory. Left to many of them, they would easily boycott church and just have fun by hanging out with their friends or be watching movies at home. So, here's the simple logic... The church doesn't want to lose these guys. They are vibrant, youthful, energetic, and smart. As a matter of fact, it's widely believed that the future of any organisation, nation, even church depends on the youths. So, in a bid to not lose them, many churches would give them what they want. No matter what it takes! I've seen youth vigils that were nothing more than clubs in the name of praise night. All mann

2018 DIGEST with Aina Omowumi Adenodi

ENCOURAGEMENT The world has enough critics already, be an encourager. Encouragement is something or words that makes someone more hopeful, determined or confident to take certain steps. Most of us, swimming against the tides of trouble the world knows nothing about, needs only a bit of praise or encouragement ~and we will make the goal.  There comes that certain time when you really need to calm down and think of all the steps you've taken, and the ones you are about to take, and then you come to realise that it's so easy to propose on something you want, you imagine it, and you see it coming through as expected, you strategize your plans and set your targets, these you do mostly at the commencement of a new season or year (just like this time), deep inside of you, you list out things you want, and those you don't want, along side things you will start doing and those you will stop doing, these things are your priority in the early days of the year, they keep ringing
