Forgotten Diaries

Recently, I came across a book titled, "I for don blow, but I too dey press phone " written by Nymar David. I wouldn't dwell much on the content or summary of the book but one thing is certain from the title, the author acclimatized his refusal to blow (become extremely successful) to the fact that he was addicted to his phone... Many youths have become entangled and chained down to their phone such that they no longer have control over a common device... A non-living element now controls the lives of several young people due to their inability to curb their insatiable desire to remain online forever. Thomas Edison has found 1001 ways to create a single item not by sitting on Facebook all day and tweeting away all his life. Steve jobs, Mark Zuckerberg and other world renowned successful people only spen d their time on social media doing stuffs that would either provide useful information, encourage others, promote a content or generate revenue for them, a truly ambi

The Yorubas will say “àgbà kìí wa lôjà, ki ori omo tuntun o wó” , meaning (a baby’s neck not properly placed, cannot be left unadjusted when we have elders in the market). Is this adage still true? So many children (teenagers & youth) nowadays already developed stiff neck (rebellion) because the elders have concentrated on something else and refused to act.  Mothers meant to protect, guide and train their children have been occupied with business matters, social group parties and even go to the extent of borrowing money to buy things they do not need, eventually to impress people they do not even know. Leading them to frustration and sometimes depression.  Fathers who are supposed to use iron hand on disobedient & wayward children, only threatens denial of basic needs of such child. The baby’s neck had fallen, and it will only take grace to get it restored. Religious societies are trying their best but still we need the elders, I mean the knowledgeable elders. Our e

Thursday night, I forgot my apartment key in the office while in haste to close early. I eventually got home and had to stay at the door for so long, helpless and thinking about how I will gain access into the house, then I got this insight. No matter how small, tiny or little a key is, it remains the sole access to opening a locked door and in a bid to do without the key we have two alternatives… either to break the door, or to damage the lock (or a combination of the two). Nonetheless, my point is “it is important to have the key to access every doors of life", with the appropriate key, you may not have to struggle to achieve anything, you may not have to go a longer route, you may not have to destroy something else, you may save yourself the whole stress of trying to cut corners in achieving goals. Grab hold of the right key today and you will be surprised how easy it will be for you to access every closed door. In conclusion, I eventually had to request for th

It is no longer news how so many people have fallen victim of fake pastors, churches and other prophets, all in the name of searching for miracle hand of God. Many have been duped and still would not believe it because the men in white gown has not only scam them, but also invoke the terrestrial spirit of fear and delusion in them. Some churches now operate like joint ventures where there are directors and trustees, some operates like business ventures with lots of apprentice pastors, others unveil themselves like companies where acquisition of so many physical properties is one the principal goals of the ministry. In fact, do not be surprised to know that some churches now have shareholders of whom they pay dividend to after the financial year, these are those set of people that finances the major activities in the church, they are made deacons and deaconesses in no time irrespective of whether genuinely born again or not.
