CHIBU NDUBUISI'S DIARY.

20 reasons why Nigerians have rejected Buhari since 2003  written by October 31, 2014   By Silk O Austin For the  Career Buharists,  Maj. Gen. Muhammadu Buhari (rtd) is the “messiah”. Any attempt to set the records straight by highlighting the dark days of Buhari is viewed by these people as being paranoid. They would ask you, who is scared of Buhari if not corrupt people? In the real sense of it, I don’t think anyone (including a kid from my home town) is scared of Buhari. Some of us that talk about him do so to establish the facts because he has been living on image-laundered life. Within these few days, lots of people have seen that Buhari didn’t build any refinery for Nigeria. He has no legacy despite ruling the country with iron-fist for almost 2 years. He is indeed corrupt as shown by this article and again, no Igbo have worked or working for Buhari, neither did any Igbo marry his daughter. These are the laundered image he has been living on for a long time now. Facts

            Thank You Sir Kelvin Alisigwe.                          By Chibu  Ndubuisi.  17/12/2021 “You change the world not by the example of power but by the power of example” Joe Biden I want to thank you for being the reason why my children Chinakasimobi (Kassy) and Chukwuzirimuuzoya (chizirim) will keep believing in miracles. I want to thank you for bringing immeasurable joy to the children and the parents. You have no idea what these little demonstration and gestures of love are doing to these children. From chauffer driving them home after Morning Mass to inviting them in a personal capacity to your Son’s Priestly Ordination and now this Christmas gesture to them through my wife. It was Rabbi Israel Salanter who noted that “someone’s else material needs are my spiritual responsibility”. I thank you for the material needs you have provided to Kassy and Chizirim at this point in their lives. I have always believed with a deep conviction that the blessings of God can come

*I am humbled by this piece and hereby recommend it for a slow reading* ====== A man’s character is his fate.  Heraclitus Thomas Jefferson, the third President of the United States (US), said: “Nothing can stop the man with the *right mental attitude* from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the *wrong mental attitude*” As a clergyman, I have watched pitiably how people self-sabotage themselves by seeking spiritual solutions to character-deficit issues.  They look around at everybody as suspects for their predicaments when their greatest demons lurks within them - their character. What we often call our destiny is truly our character, and since that character can change, then destiny can be altered. *Character is destiny* . Is prayer actually EVERYTHING? Many would begin to argue back and forth on this intriguing question, but my main purpose of writing this piece is not to get involved in arguments. *_Arguments don’t improve the validity of a ‘truth;’ they only

  Rev Fr Gideon Zacharia Kanwai: Your Unique Journey to Priesthood. A Personal Reflection.      By Chibu Ndubuisi. 27/08/2021                I read in the bible about Gideon the mighty warrior. The Gideon I am reflecting about today is someone I met at St Joseph's Minor Seminary(SJS), Zaria, Kaduna State (1994-2000). A class mate full of life. As we advanced in studies, you were made the school's kitchen prefect while I was the refectory prefect. While others ate the general meal, we were served the special meal. On this occasion of your thanksgiving mass at your country home, I will be using this opportunity to serve you this special meal of a personal intellectual contribution on the journey ahead. There are four facts I have come to understand about answering THE CALL: √ It is unique to you √ You have the talent for it √ You have a sense of enjoyment and fulfillment at what you are doing and √ You might wander a while but will still come back to face your c
