POWER DESTROYS, AUTHORITY CONSTRUCTS with Akinrotimi Eniola

-

Power destroys, Authority constructs....

Power destroys, Authority constructs and rebuild what has been destroyed...
An illustration is seen in a story where there are two LANDLORDS in a street. One was a retired military man and the other was a civilian..
  The retired military man didn't warn his tenant before he reacted. Therefore, he decided TO HOLD THE PURSE STRINGS. He decided to use his former power to send his tenant away and to make him pay his money in haste.. He went to the street to hire a tout to ransack the tenant's room and drag him out..
      On getting to the house, the tout did and acted as he was instructed. He acted ROUGH AND TUMBLE.. He dragged the couple out. In the process of dragging them, the wife hit her head on the edge of the wall and she KISSED THE DUST...
      At last, another case was up again..   Now the two men are in hot water. The case lasted for months in the court with lot of appeals but it was too late TO TURN THE TABLES.. The court made a decree for them TO PLAY THE PIPER to the MAN OF STRAW.. And eventually, both of them was sentenced to Ten years imprisonment.
      On the other hand, the civilian man wrote a notice of two weeks for his tenant to out his bag and baggage. On the D-day, the tenant was able to pay up his debt and he paid in some money in advance..

What am I saying, power is not everything.. Although they say 'ACTION SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS' but not in every situation. Some situation demands calmness and Patience while some require much effort and power.... STRIKE THE IRON WHILE IT IS HOT.. Always remember, POWER DESTROYS while AUTHORITY CONSTRUCTS..
When you're in a high, influential and powerful position, never PULL THE WIRE.
Always remember to use AUTHORITY to carry out POWER and never use POWER to carry out  AUTHORITY....

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
