                                A QUESTION OF TIME

Peace be to you.

This is one of the favourite quote of my aunt.

She uses it to explain her experiences of life.

She quotes the biblical passage of " a time for everything"

and explains it with the slavery experience of the people of Israel,

until a day and a time they were librated from the Egyptians their oppressors which

they saw no more. A Question of Time Heals and liberates.

Nelson Mandela in his book"Long Walk to Freedom", explains that 'time is longer than rope.

He never gave in to the temptations of momentary betrayals, by explaining to his oppressors that "prisoners do not go in to contract but free men do".

He took the long walk believing that his troubles is just for "A Question of Time".

Mandela eventually  triumphed in his struggles against the Apartheid regime of the day.

He healed a fractured South Africa with reconciliation and not revenge. When that Question of Time arrives, it facilitates and helps you reconcile the past and future.

The answer is to know how to be responsible when freedom beckons in a Question of time. 

A philosopher posited "that man was born free but everywhere he is in chains'. What is that physical, psychological or system chains that is holding us back in slavery? The legendary Bob Marley sang that  we have to 'Emancipate ourselves from mental slavery non but ourselves can free our minds'.

Are you ready to heal when your question of time arrives? When that question is answered, it will help you unburden the physical,psychological and system barriers fracturing the world.

Peace be with you

So, while we were praying, Malaysia came here and took our palm seedlings and built a great factory of it. While we were praying, Singapore went into investment in technology. While we were praying, India went into ICT. While we were praying, China went to massive industrialization. While we were shouting Allah Alakuba! UAE went into massive infrastructural development. While we were binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development. While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens. While we were mounting big speakers in our places of worship, USA was mounting man on the moon. After our prayers, God, being a wise God decided to reward us according to our labour. Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc has been re...

THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION

                                         THE FEEDING BOTTLE NATION                                           BY CHIBU NDUBUISI 15/05/2017 Peace be to you. Feeding bottle is used to feed infants because they are yet to develop the capacity to feed themselves. It is designed in such a way that the feed tickles down to the dependent infant. An infant that uses feeding bottle does not understand what it takes to make the feed, but the parent or guardian are hopeful that one day the infant will grow up and begin to feed him/herself. When this scenario does not play out as expected, then we assume that there is a problem. As illustrated above, so it is with the country N...
