DISCERNMENT

Image
Having a discerning mind is an invaluable gift everyone should pray for, it is funny how people take decisions without having a second thought. There is a popular saying: "Watch your thoughts, they become words, watch your words, they become actions, watch your actions they become your character, watch your character, they become your destiny." With this sequence of events, We can now understand the power of our thoughts,and why it is necessary to be guided before making decisions. Our minds needs to be trained and disciplined in making choices, the Holy Spirit grants this gift to God's children, you need to ask humbly for it. We may also need the help of good mentors, like a spiritual director, parent(s) and good friends to aid you before making certain decisions which is objective and devoid of emotional undertone. So it will reasonable to say: "Think about what you are thinking". Learn from others mistakes and become wiser, be open minded and ready to learn. ...

CORRUPDEMIC

Image
I was listening to a TV  show, Lux Terra Foundation, hosted by Fr George Ehusani and the guest, Prof Jegede transformed the word CORRUPTION to CORRUPDEMIC.  Just like the corona virus pandemic that has brought economic downturn to every continent, corruption has ravaged our country, Nigeria. Something has to be done quickly to halt this menace, it is true that every country has its own form of corruption, however in Nigeria it is fast becoming a National anthem. How we reconcile that the commission,EFCC that was set up to fight corruption in Nigeria has a corrupt leader, recently the Attorney General of the Federation was also accused of corruption. It is pitiable and disheartening that corruption is fast becoming a norm in our society, and we need to address this issue for the well-being of our future generations. We need to get up and stop being fooled by our leaders, we have to hold them accountable to implement their duties. We can't fold our hands and watch, while the...

VARIETIES...

Image
 We all love travelling to new places, we go the cinema to see a new movie. Since you love varieties which is good, we will appreciate God for his diverse creation. God made us with distinctive qualities, the animals and trees are also diverse, we should all learn to appreciate our differences and learn from each other. We should not let our differences cause schisms and chaos among us, but rather it should be something to be celebrated, no matter our race, color of our skin, religion, tribe or culture, it should be harnessed for something great. When we see all humans with the eyes of love, we won't discriminate against to them, feeling you are superior than someone else is totally false and a show of pride. It is pitiable that our society has classified people according their economic status, we should not be so. That you are rich does not necessarily mean God has blessed you more than others who are poor. If you are rich, you are simply privileged to be used as an instrument to ...

WORK ...A gift to man

Image
How many of us like Monday mornings? Very few I guess, you might ask, what if the person has a nice job, well don’t    forget    the work routine may douse the initial zeal to continue the work. Well, the better we begin to love and desire work, the better for us. It is important to note that I advocate for break and rest to keep the revive the body and also for good employment policies and good remuneration for employees. Everyone's work is valuable and should not be underrated. In this covid era, we say that in the healthcare team,that the janitoral staff such as cleaners are very vital. Looking at the current economic crises due to covid-19 pandemic, reports have it that unemployment is on the rise, as we know that some business had to cut the number of staff since the income level drastically reduced. If we have a work, we should see ourselves as privileged, this is because we are fulfilling a very good mandate from God, if we look at the creation of man ...

GRATEFULNESS

Image
Gratitude is an expression that you appreciate what you have received from someone, it might be a gift or service offered to you. I was listening to a priest via you tube and he asked a question in his sermon; “Are you grateful or are you a great fool?” You will agree with me, that this virtue is sometimes lacking in us, we tend to suddenly take things for granted. When we go the hospital we will appreciate the basic necessities of life, part of the priest said was a man who was admitted to the hospital because he could not pass urine easily, and his medical bill was so huge after he was discharged for staying a few days, the doctor was trying to console the man, however the man said he was not worried about the expensive bill, he said he could afford it, but got him amazed was that he is paying so large for him to urinate for few days while all the period he was young till his old age he was urinating freely without any expenses attached. What a great lesson. When we do aw...

MENTOR

Image
For someone to make progress in his mission, it is very important to seek direction in what he or she does. During our final year project in the University, we were assigned supervisors who will guide us to make the best out of the research since they have the experience to guide us. Again, after spending 5 years in pharmacy school, we still needed to undergo one year compulsory internship under a certified preceptor before we could have our license to practise, this is because, there is need for training and mentorship. This happens not only in the professional world, but also in the business world. For an entrepreneur to be successful in his business, he needs to seek guidance fro those who have gone ahead of him in the field to be able to surmount the challenges when they present themselves. A good mentee has to know that a mentor may be so busy and occupied, and thus should be proactive in sourcing out the needed information to succeed. I was listening to Jack Ma talks online,he is...
