WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!!! I remember a few decades ago when we were much younger and were in secondary (high) school and we used to joke about only wanting to go out with guys who were Tall, Dark and Handsome or who had the three C’s –  Car, Cash and Clothes.

THE POWER OF OBEDIENCE In a little while, Christians all over the world will be observing the Lenten season for the next forty days (when we will fast food and water till 6pm; excluding Sundays) [and perhaps fast festivities too] and we will be expected to be in a mood of sober reflection that should lead to repentance from

THE MEMORY OF THE JUST IS BLESSED Once again I have the opportunity to share fond memories of a remarkable man, my father ARCHITECT SAMUEL OLUYEMI  JAIYESIMI; of blessed memory. It’s twelve years already that he went to be with the Lord.
