In the long run, we'll probably all be dead or be raptured to face the judgement, we'll be too old for fun, we'll be fast-decending to the second stage of childishness, we won't be able to run again, fragility would have set in, we will all have regrets regardless, family will be king, life will be meaningless, only what we've done will be remembered...Do the things you can do while in the short run! Nothing is permitted to come to stay, all things including human precepts and innovations shall come to pass. Theories, models, principles and practices, prophetic declarations, nuggetum and great quotes, philosophical sagacity and wise assertions will be faulted! There is always a-one day or some day for somebody and that day could be today. There is only one thing that cannot change, ceteris paribus, all other things being equal, change is a constant(k)! What will be will always be. But then how do you want it to be? We are all products of our choices, the archite...

F - Fight your fears and face the giant I  - Invest time to prepare for war G - Go against the enemy that confronts         you H - Have faith, stay focused and keep             hope alive     T - Thank God for victory even as you           take the lead     Life is a battle field. Once a man is born, he is born into war! No wonder Job wrote, “Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of trouble” (Job 14:14). He starts fighting from birth till his last breath. Life is never a bed of roses; it’s not funfair as we were made to believe. Life, as it were, is warfare, a battle field for fighters! To conquer you must contend. Everyone is in this fight, no one is exclusive. The battle may be spiritual or physical, but it is battle all the same. Our fight may be different but we are all fighting—rich or poor, white or black, old or young. The better you know now, the better fo...

‪#‎ PurelyInspirational‬ In Macro Economics-a house built by Keynes, there are so many analysis, theories, models and principles propounded by different authors at different dispensation. But looking at Lord Maynard Keynes, the author of 'The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money', something amazes me about most of his analysis and models he adopted to proffer panacea to economics issues. You will observe that, despite is numerous critics, his principles are always 'In the short run...and full of assumptions-assuming price is fixed or constant in the short run, assuming the economy is stable in the short run, assuming unemployment, inflation, demand, supply, interest rate and other variables are this and that...in the short run' In the words of Keynes, 'In the long run, we are all dead!', hence, his short run analysis... This got me thinking. Life, our experiences, assumptions or axioms, successes and failures are but in th...

WORDS! No doubt it existence before the existence of the world In the very beginning was the word… The world we live in was framed by spoken words And God said, “Let there be…and there was….” And Jesus said, “The words that I speak to you they are spirit and life” The earth and its inhabitant may fade away But the spoken words till eternity will stay Although look simple and cheap but yet powerful It has weight and occupies space like matter To kill and to heal it has the potential The greatest wounds may not be from swords Like the Chinese proverb, but from spoken words Our words can make peace and can cause men to war It can move the highest mountains or simply create it It can cause a smile or make sober It can make or mar We can use it to create opportunities or cause condemnation It can draw people closer to use or repel them Its effect can lead to suicide or give hope to the hopeless Hidden in spoken words lies the power of life and death Words is not costly but...

Be good because God is good Be good to people and they will be good to you Be good any where you go, and you are good to go Be good because a good name is better than riches or gold Be good, the return benefit is manifold Be good, God’s backing on you is untold Be good nonstop even when good-for-nothing people pay evil for your good Be good-natured even when nature cheats on you Be of good faith, God is watching you! Be good-tempered, only fools get angry easily When you are good, people will respect you purely When you are good, even bad people will entrust their goods to you When you are good, people will speak good tidings about you When you are good, you attract good fortune When you are good, even Heaven will reward your good works Looking good might be a good business but you stay in business by doing good Let go of yourself to always show goodness any where you go To be 'good' may not be easy but let God and let go of your ego You ...

THIS IS WHAT YOU ARE! You’re original and not a copy You’re created in God’s image His breath (creative capacity) is in you Hence, you’re one with God (John 10:30) You’re a ‘god’! You’re an enigma, a puzzle to many You’re a principality with supernatural powers You’re a king, you operate in a kingdom You’re a ruler of the kingdom of your life As a prince, you’re meant to rule in your locality Like the Eagle, you’re a bird with unique feathers The sky is your stepping stone, a place you belong You’re the best distinguished from the rest You’re exclusive and special, one of a kind You’re the apple of God’s eyes But then, you need to know these…. You’re what you think, a product of your meditation You’re what you see, a product of your imagination You’re what you hear, a produce of your locality (kit & kin) You’re what you wear, a reflection of your individuality You’re the friends you keep, a determinant of your end You’re what you read, a product of your library You’...

The question is: does Nigeria worth celebrating? This is a query in the minds of so many Nigerians. At such a time as this, some deem it as an avenue to express their grievance, discontent and disappointment. Really, our leaders have not lived up to their responsibilities, our expectations have been chattered, our hopes and aspirations for a better Nigeria-our fatherland is apparently uncertain. It is so dehumanizing seeing our educational sector is in a dilapidating state, our health sector is not healthy, boko haram is still bombing, threatening our peace, killing innocent citizens, now our Chibok school girls in Bornu State are still missing and our hitherto government is not doing anything about that, our roads are bad, we still cannot brag of a constant power supply, the economy is in a state of shameful hilarity. What a pity! What is the point celebrating our 54 th Independence Day celebration? We might have gotten independence from the Colonial masters but are we truth...

Written by: Exponent Samuel James                    32FD0FBB Some people don’t like me, so they called me Mr. Nobody  I am nobody, thank you v-e-r-y much Every body is not perfect, and so? That means nobody is perfect Therefore, I am perfectionist! Some are privileged than others But everybody is created in the same way However, nobody is special Therefore, I am special Because I’m wonderfully and fearfully made by God! It has been said countless times And the world has made us to believe it That everybody is doing it (doing what? fill in the gap…) That nobody is different Therefore, I dare to be a different kind of specie! There is a job to be done by everybody But everybody left it for somebody And somebody left it for anybody to do But in the long run nobody did the job Therefore, I am the right man for the job! Like the Cartoon, Disney Junior-Lazy Town Most people are sincerely lazy and poor All they want is instant wealth g...

Back then in school in those days as an undergrad, my course mates used to call me different names most  en-route  from my hilarious 'slangs' and style of creating humour. One of such is "Living thing", and/or "Plan B". Simi, Paul and Shaddy will testify of this...lol.  Well, the idea was that I always have an alternative forgone for everything I set out to do. And justifiably so, It was so evident  from my scale of preference.  One prominent thing I did in school back them was to find means of making money from my 'intellectual deposits', thus, I would do summer 'intern' jobs, teach co-coursemates, sell my well written 'graphics design' notes (no wonder I now do graphics design big time) , write test for people in any department, do assignments and carry over courses for people. In fact, some pay me to teach them in the exam hall which I always do! (God has all ready forgiven me jare). For everything I did the...
