WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE?



A pathetic story is recorded in St. John’s Gospel Chapter 5 from verse one to eighteen about a man who had been in the same spot for THIRTY – EIGHT long years; he was so accustomed to his way of thinking, so much so that when solution stared him in the face he did not recognize it.

Our Lord Jesus Christ asked him; “Do you want to become well?” ~ John 5;6b {LEB}
 “The sick man answered, “Sir, there is no one to help me get into the water………” ~ John 5:7a {ERV}

King James Translation says “I have no man …” that seems to be the excuse of many, I have no man.

My uncle refuses to help me,
My parents did not send me to school,
My Brother is rich but he won't help me,
Ask yourself, who helped them?

Over 95% of success stories are that of men and women who weathered the odds persevered and emerged champions in their chosen careers.

 The stories abound in almost all industries and fields, if they made it, you too can. YOU HAVE NO EXCUSE and as Revd. Blessing Noah Oghelie puts it “IF YOU FIND AN EXCUSE, DON’T USE IT”

Barr. Ufuoma Kerewi come across as a man born with a golden spoon, but don’t let his charming good looks and simple demeanor fool you. He was born in the ghetto of Sapele – Urban Area – but like he said, he never allowed his environment to influence him.

If you throw Orange seeds in a dustbin and that seed eventually grows, what fruit will it bear? Its environment notwithstanding, it will be Orange

 Growing up in a polygamous home never stopped him from going to the University and graduated as a Lawyer. Today, he is not only a successful Lawyer; he is a very Successful Entrepreneur and a Successful Politician who is currently seeking the mandate of his people to represent them in the State House of Assembly.

If you find an excuse on your journey to success, don’t use it.

“I am thankful for all  who said NO to me. It’s because of them I’m doing it myself.” ~ Albert Einstein

You Won’t disappoint your maker!

POLITICIANS WITH DEAD CONSCIENCE - LIKE YAR'ADUA LIKE SUNTAI

Image
To say Many Politicians do not have a conscience is an understatement, they are callous and wicked. In a Nation of so much poverty, can our Politicians justify entertaining guest with champagne that cost as much as 150,000 Naira a bottle in cartons and on daily basis? Why fly Private Jets in the midst of so much lack? Must they travel in long conveys, even in the face of Fuel Scarcity? Nothing typifies the heartlessness of Many Politicians as much as their failure to pay civil servants their meager Monthly Income. I have stated elsewhere that our failure to ask those we elected or allowed to be selected into Public Office questions is one contributing factor to their display of arrogance and disdain for the masses. Why were the Governors unable to pay Salaries (Including some States that pockets 13% Derivation Monthly)? Governance is all about Management, we knew of the dwindling Oil revenue, how come we were unprepared for it? Yes we hail the so called Bail

Image
THE KAIAMA DECLARATION ALMOST 16 YEARS AFTER ~ WHERE DID WE MISS IT  - Part 1 One of the best pieces of Declaration and one that changed the way the Ijaws were viewed by the Nigerian State is The Kaiama declaration. 11 th December, 2014 will make it 16 years since that Historical document authored by some of the best minds in the Ijaw Nation was made. The declaration had 10 Observations and 10 Resolutions. Where do we stand today viz a viz these Observations and Resolutions I have reproduced here the Historic Document and my Personal deductions in red. THE OBSERVATIONS a. That it was through British colonization that the IJAW NATION was forcibly put under the Nigerian State b. That but for the economic interests of the imperialists, the Ijaw ethnic nationality would have evolved as a distinct and separate sovereign nation, enjoying undiluted political, economic, social, and cultural AUTONOMY. c. That the division of the Southern Protectorate into East and West

TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME?

 TINUBU: IS THIS THE SHAPE OF THINGS TO COME? “Maturity is the capacity to endure uncertainty.” ~ John Huston Finley Nigerians by now are used to the unpredictability of governance as we have endured mostly uncertainty in the past eight (8) years But I think supporters and none supporters of BAT would have hoped for a better way to commence his days in office and not to be welcomed with uncertainty occasioned by a needless pronouncement and the nightmare of fuel scarcity that followed  Having a positive start for the administration would have given the nay sayers the impression that there may be light at the end of the tunnel after all.  The damage control notwithstanding, it's obvious our President is convinced that if Nigerians either directly or Mahmoudly opted to have him as president amidst uncontrolled inflation, bitting fuel scarcity and unavailability of cash due to the ill conceived and not well thought out policy of currency redesign his Party embarked upon, then we are a
