LET US ENCOURAGE ONE ANOTHER This is a new year and already many of us have made well laid out plans for the next eleven months or there about.

THE SCARS,  MY VICTORY More than a couple of decades ago, I was involved in a near fatal accident. I had to undergo a five hour oral and maxillofacial surgery. Though I am alive and very well today I have scars on the left side of my face, somewhere around the corner of my left eye and my nose, (left

THE BLESSING IS FROM GOD It has been very well documented that the Nigerian economy has taken a turn for the worse. There are tales of woe about businesses shutting down and some actually relocating to nearby countries like Ghana where power is at least stable; as the cost of generating one’s own power in Nigeria is ridiculously expensive.
