THE TIME TO WORK IS NOW A few days ago, a certain hymn kept coming to me in my native Yoruba language. Growing up in a Yoruba Anglican Church, I am quite familiar with a lot of the hymns. As a matter of fact, I have a better recollection of those hymns than I do of the Hymns, Ancient and

STAND GUARD OVER YOUR HEART AND YOUR THOUGHTS  I woke up to a phone call about a Nationwide strike in Nigeria and my greatest fear was confirmed. The Electrity Distribution companies had joined the strike. No wonder the power had been cut off.  Oh dear! Extra spending on Diesel and Petrol to generate our own power! Well there was not

GO FOR THE WIN There has been a scarcity of fuel in the city. Sadly, it has disrupted a lot of regular activities. At filling stations, drivers in their cars are on endless queues which have spilled on to the motor ways causing a lot of delays. While going to work in the morning yesterday, it took a while to

If Greed can find its way into a person’s life they are well on their way to destruction. According to the Oxford Learner’s Dictionaries, one of the definitions of the
