WHY THE PUSHING!

From Mr Ibrahim Katsina (former DSS Director)

WHY THE PUSHING!

I went to First Bank e-bank hall few hours ago. As I was about entering the hall, a lady ran ahead of me and pushed me away, so she could quickly join the long queue before I will get to the queue.

I did not say anything, she thought I will queue up behind her, but I was actually not there to withdraw, I came to deposit.

So I walked to the deposit machine and I was the only one there. No single person on the queue. When I finished depositing, I was about leaving the hall, when the lady came from the queue and apologized to me for pushing me away the other time.

With sorry smile on her face, she said: 'I am sorry for pushing you away, I thought you were coming to the queue' i just smiled and told her not to bother, that it's not a big deal.

But since then, the lesson in this story kept coming to my mind, and I felt I should share it for us all to learn from it.

Friends, who are you 'pushing' away and trying to outrun in the race of destiny, relationship, business, ministry, career, etc? You think you are going to the same 'queue' (destination) unknown to you that, though your path may look alike, your destinations are different!

How many people have had to say 'sorry' to those they pushed aside, pushed away or pushed down when they finally realized that the person was not actually going to the 'withdrawal machine' they were running to.

Are you reading this and you are pushing people away here and there by slandering them, hindering their progress, blocking their promotion, spoiling their good names either through lies or rumor all in a bid to 'get there' before them.

I challenge you today, to take it easy. You might not be going to the same destination.

It might surprise you later that, with all the pushing away you are doing, they may still leave you on the 'queue' of destiny and go ahead of you.

Finally, are you reading this and you can feel people in your school, office, ministry, business, etc pushing you away so that they can get ahead of you? Don't worry, God will use your case to prove to them that, "it is not of him who runs,

He will show you mercy and give you an overtaking speed and those who are pushing you here and there will later come and tell you they are sorry.

Please, push nobody! because you might not be heading to the same 'machine' (destination).

WHILE WE WERE PRAYING: BY AN ANONYMOUS WRITER.

After independence, in order to build a great nation, each country went to work. But in Nigeria, after independence, our people went to pray and fast. 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

In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa".

In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

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 Nigeria, The nation set out on high hopes and high speed to the promised land with the proverbial "milk and honey" but failed to realise that no matter how fast you  move on the wrong path, it is still a wrong path. After 57 years of political independence, Nigeria is still a toddler, an overgrown baby,
