WFT: Are You Ready

Good morning lovelies. How are you doing? *Blushing* I know its been days but am here now. Word for Today(WFT), I had two words that came to me but I will choose this because it came on Strong.

I was appreciating God for the things he had done for me in this month and how marvelous it is in my eyes when something came to me. The question said "Are you ready for what God is about to do in 2015? My dear like every person that wants something good, I vocally said "God I am ready". After I had replied, I began to weigh the weight of my answer. It means am ready for the good, the bad, the disappointments, the tears, the Joy, the laughter etc. Hmmm, and yes I stood my ground, I am ready for it all.

WFT: Drop it at my Feet

Good morning, you. hope you had a goodnight and a nice weekend?  I want to tell you what happened to me this morning. As usual I left home early so I don't get caught up in traffic so I can get to my day job by 8am. So when we were few min away from the park , the bus emitted odour which got me worried. It took the watchful eye of another passenger to call our attention to smoke emitting from the bus. In few minutes, our attention was called to the burning tyre of the bus by other motorist. Everyone started shouting, open the door let me come down! Even the man sleeping beside me was the first one down. But I thank God we all came down safely, no harm was done both to the people and bus.
Before this supposed incident I was reading my bible on my phone since that is the time I get every morning. One of the few things I am learning in this year is to "Drop it all at his feet", not to fret nor fear. whatever it is to take it all to him, One day at a time and I believe everything will work out fine. He will not suffer my foot to be moved (Psalm 121:3,4). All I know is that his thoughts towards you and I is good(Jer 29:11) that is why I drop it at his feet. He knows it all, he is supreme so I fear not.
I pray that we all learn to drop it at his feet too today and always. Amen.

Have a lovely week lovelies

Be the Change you want

Change is one very important thing that is constant in life. When you hear people say "I really want to change" it is true but what are they changing into?
There is something I try to do with the people in my life, when I have a fight with my friends especially when I go all ballistic "crazy", when they don't reach out to me, I reach out to them. I do that because I love them, then I cant really imagine not talking to them I will totally feel strange and there is also the conscience judging me. Few years ago, I wasn't like that. Trust us ladies we like malice pass fight. So there was a need for me to change because I can't tell two fighting neighbours to unite when am still fighting with my neighbour. For the Change I needed to see, I had to change first.

Often around you, you are going to ask people to change but I tell you, if you do not possess the change you desire in them then you are just another "barkless dog". To change the world, you need to change yourself. You transform the world, by changing yourself, home, family, your community before you change the world.
And Like Gandhi, any leader who wants to transform or bring about any change should have reflected these changes in his personalities. Gandhi lived the change he wanted, let every leader, you and I live the change we want. Transformation or Change are not mere words of bread and butter but it is a longing desire of people seeking desperate freedom.
And in our desire for change lets not be desperate to make these changes for the wrong reasons. Let this change be of light and freedom. A transformation of secured future for the yet unborn. Let a positive change begin from everyman who desires change.

The next time to tell you about Transformation or Change, Ask them how what they want to change and how they intended to change it? And assess them to determine if they really emit change?  The future belongs to us, the future is here. Be a change today.

Young and In Love

Title-From the White Cliffs

Young and in love - how magical the phrase!

How magical the fact! Who has not yearned

Over young lovers when to their amaze

They fall in Love, and find their love returned,

And the Lights brighten, and their eyes are clear

To see God's image in their common clay.

Is it the music of the spheres they hear?

Is it the prelude to that noble play

The drama of Joined Lives?

                              Alice Duer Miller

For every young couple out there, it is beautiful to be young and in love. Taking the first step to be in love shows inner strength and beauty. Build your young love, grow daily with whom you have pledged loyalty to through the eye of the maker and it will be most beautiful to grow old with the young Love.
Three happy cheers to every young love out there!!!

#I Believe - The series

Everything that we have become is because we believe.  I believe that within me there is a Lion beneath the cub. And if you doubt there is a lion with you, it is okay because that is who you believe you are. Believing in yourself over rides fear and brings in confidence and courage.
believing in yourself is the first move to success.

Happy weekend people

#I am Baga: How the deadliest Boko Haram attack was Unreported

January 3rd, 2015, the deadly book haram group attacked and killed both men and women in a North-eastern state in Nigeria.

The people of Baga were murdered in cold blood, resulting to thousands of people being killed though the Spokes person for the Nigerian Military said it is only 150 people who were killed.
it is disturbing that the incident at Baga was unreported by the Nigeria media, Africa and International media. There has been no credible report by the Nigeria media about the events that took place in Baga , no follow-up, no leads. The Charlie Hebdo Incident which happened in the latter attracted more concern and empathy than the Baga Incident. And there is a huge shift in the reportage of this two stories both by the local and international media. And it feels as if the Lives of  the men and women who died in Baga did not count for something. #IamBaga#IamNigeria.

#BringBackourGirls, may the hope of the missing children be kept alive long enough to bring them home.

Life  teaches that all fingers are not equal. Do not envy the shortest or the longest finger for they have their strengths and weakness.

Life taught me not to Love anything more than I love the maker of heaven and earth.
Life teaches me not to give a damn about what people say about my Vision as long as my purpose is known.
Life teaches that communication is the strongest tool for a loving couple.
Life teaches that only until we find our purpose we may only be existing not living.
Life teaches that in Love, Distance or closeness is not the question but a committed heart.
Life taught me that each time I cried it is not because I am weak but I am stronger with every drop.
Life teaches that every mistake is a lesson to take.

WFT: What do you LOVE more than him?

Hello, Good Morning beautiful, hope you had a lovely night rest. To start the week today I want to bring you the Word For Today(WFT)  from a movie I saw yesterday morning.
Paper dream is about a couple who wanted to have kids but could not have one and all their friends had kids. The wife desperately wanted a child, so they opted for adoption but the wife wanted a newborn baby so they needed a birth mother and they got one. Somehow along the way after they had prepared for the arrival of the baby, the birth mother decided to abort the child and the couple lost that chance. The woman was so frustrated and she told her husband she would stop going to church, the husband closed his bible and asked why. She said she couldn't pretend any more that she wants a child more than anything in the world and the husband said that is the problem. The husband further told her, "when I met you for the first time, you didn't care about anything else, you loved God more than everything else and you were free", she was touched by those words. That night her sister who had three kids lost her hubby to an accident. She was hurt by what happened to her sister but above all she learnt to appreciate what she had.
Am so sorry that my story is Long but the question is what do you Love more than God? What do you want so bad that you will want to give up God to show your spite?
Christ is supreme, we can not afford to share his love with anything else. Imagine when you see your spouse with the opposite sex, you feel jealous. Imagine how God feels when we devout no time to him and all time to chase money, marriage, or children, he is not happy.
When we put him at the center of our life everything will work for our Good.

In this week, learn to Love God more than everything else. If that contract will be yours it will be if not let the will of the most high be done.

Have a lovely week

Love Story: UNTITLED

Sometime in 2014 i wrote a piece on love, in case you missed it CLICK HERE. On today's edition of Love story, am thinking where is Love in today's relationships and marriages? 

I was speaking to a friend who was about to get married then, we spoke a lot and i eventually asked her but you Love him? And she answered by saying Love, that there is love only at the beginning of the relationship once you get married no love. So at this point I was surprised at her response i tried to counter her but she became defensive. 

Love is lost in relationships and is seem there is no solution of any sort. Women and ladies are rushing into relationships only with one vision to get the ring and the men coming into relationships because they are too old to be single. Certainly, my description is not for all marriages and relationships. But in a country where we have the highest number of women cheating then i think we have only 20% of Love guided relationships.

Linda Ikeji Asks, Should I Take Political Adverts?

*

I just dropped by Linda Ikeji's blog and  she was asking her readers if she could take political adverts and she said she was confused. According to the blogger she said the money is good*eyepoppingout
Hmmm, can you be confused about legal money my people. 
To share my thoughts on the matter, I think it was a good idea to ask her readers about their Opinion on the matter at least it gave people like me the opportunity to write on it. My answer is she should take the political ads as long as she is not partisan though underneath we know Linda's party. She is a media outlet so she should run advertorials. The blogger also hinted that all political parties are coming not just PDP, it is a good deal as long as she does not crowd her blog with too much of their political Jargons to obstruct the purpose of her site.
Bloggers, please if they come to you publish their ads,you are making a living. You know your candidate. A better Nigeria is all we ask for.
Dear Linda Ikeji, if the money is too much please push it over here*lols*

Well readers you have the final say should Linda Ikeji and other bloggers take adverts from Political Parties and their supporters? Share your opinion so we know.
*I am goingback to mindingmybusiness*

Word For Today

What do You Believe In?

"Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so is he" Johann Wolfgang. I believe in so many things above all I believe in Christ Jesus that he lives and is working out miracles for everyone. Mark 9:23, Everything is possible if you believe. 
The ability to believe is what got me here. Yesterday, I added plus one and one of the very few things that i resolved to do is to tighten my grip on the Most High God, without him i would not have come this far. Believe sustains you, it defines you. When you see somebody who believes  in nothing, you look at them and you see the reflection they produce. 
Believe is a thought and as a Man believes so is he(repeated). Believe in yourself. Believe in the man or woman you were created to be.  Believe in the visions that you have. Believe in God and yourself gives you the confidence to triumph and conquer.

Overtime i have understood it is not about what they have said or what they have planned. It is about what you believe, the conviction you have. They will say it and do it, who acts it out; it is you. Will you rather act what they say or what you say.

Do not let the people and environment define you; let your believe be your definition. Everyone who has succeeded on the surface of the earth believed in something and they kept at it that  is why they are where they are, we should do the same.
Personal Story, I still believe that my voice will be heard on radio. I still believe that. Believe in something. Believe in God. Believe in yourself, Believe in your dreams.
"Everything is possible if you believe"

Operation Feed the Presidency: N517.9m on Food in 2015

Please how much does an average Nigerian feed with daily that the Federal Government is proposing to spend N517.9m on food alone.

The 2015 budget has slated this ridiculous amount for feeding for the year, this amount is for office of the presidency,the Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, ministries of power, petroleum as well as their parastatals.

Here is the total breakdown, Out of the N517.9m, a provision of N174.54m was made for refreshments and meals for the State House in 2015.
For the office of the President, the budget breakdown revealed that a provision of N142.47m was made for 2015 for refreshments and meals.

For the Vice-President, a provision of N25.58m was made for meals and refreshments. However, while the State House Headquarters, Office of the President and the Vice President all have a combined budgetary provision of N342.59m for refreshments and meals, the 10 agencies under the presidency had a provision of just N67.4m for the same items.
They are the Office of the Senior Special Assistant to the President on Millennium Development Goals which has a provision of N8.49m; the Bureau for Public Enterprises, N14.72m; the National Emergency Management Agency,N14m; and the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission N20m.
Others are the Bureau of Public Procurement, N5.52m; the Nigeria Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, N3.81m; and the Office of the Chief Economic Adviser to the President, N838,758.

To read more Punchng.

Tell me what more can we do with our money than to feed the presidency. Austerity measures oooo

New Year Resolutions In Photos: What is your resolution?

New year Resolutions, have you made any? But first I got this photo from UJ's blog. So the story behind the photo is that some girl uploaded the picture as her bbm pics which represents three things she has resolved to do this year. She wants graduation, marriage and a baby and she wrote"so help me God". Angry Mark Banks didn't see that as a good plan, so he deleted her, Ooops!!!.
Well, i dont know what the perfect resolution for the year should be but according to Mark this resolution isnt ok. As far as I remember, New year resolution(NYR) has existed and some people see it as a tradition to make one to guide them through the year. But sometimes these plans are left behind by the middle of the year that is for those who go far with them for some even before January ends. And I wonder, Is it really Important to have a new resolution each year? Does these NYR help you achieve goals of any sort? Have you made any NYR yet, if you have share with me...

Happy New Year again

Word For Today, Thankful Heart.

Good Morning my beautiful neighbours.We are all still trying to savour the joy of the new year and enjoy the holidays. While we are at it, let us remember to be thankful to God for all that is gone and the new year. Today's word; Thankful Heart.

It is a new year, lots of people have anticipated for this year but many of them were unable to be in this year to do all they had planned. Many people were lost in the previous year but we are here, Are we fairer than those gone? I am grateful that I am here. I am grateful for this second, this minute, this hour, this moment, this day. I am grateful because every part of my body is intact. This moment exists for me and you because our work here is unfinished. It gladdens my heart that the maker granted us this year to experience his fullness on earth. You and I owe him all the thanks. Thank God for he is good and merciful. When we thank him he will do more. Thank him, Praise him, He is worthy of it all. Give it all to him. Jesus Loves, Jesus Saves.

Thankful Heart
