SEED YOUR FURROWS

                               SEED YOUR FURROWS
C 2018                     CHIBU NDUBUISI               18/07/2018           WEEK 29
                    “All growth is from within, this is evident in all nature”

         


 Peace be upon you.

Seed the furrows of your heart and never allow it to lay fallow. Nature abhors a vacuum. How can I seed the furrows of my mind with productive seedlings? Where can I obtain good seeds that yield productively? What type of atmosphere do I need in the vineyard of my heart?

No life is without error. Some good seeds can be infested when diligence is not taken in to account in planting. Even when vigilance is applied to the highest degree, some factors can become so overwhelming that we give up. As humans, we still have the chance to try again,  tender and cultivate the vineyard of our hearts to bear fruit for all. O G Mandino notes that “…his birthplace is the vineyard where there is food for all”.

O G Mandino further notes the principles which can be applied to the vineyard of your heart to yield productively. He averred that;
· I will look on all things with love
· I will love the sun for it warms my bones
· I will love the rain for it cleanses my spirit
· I will love the light for it shows me the way
· I will love the darkness for it shows me the stars
· I will welcome happiness for it enlarges my heart
· I will endure sadness for it opens my soul
· I will acknowledge rewards for they are my dues
· I will welcome obstacles for they are my challenges
· I will love the ambitious for they can inspire me
· I will love the failures for they can teach me
· I will love the kings for they are but human
· I will love the meek for they are divine
· I will love the rich for they are yet lonely
· I will love the poor for they are so many
· I will love the young for the faith they hold
· I will love the old for the wisdom they share
· I will love the beautiful for their eyes of sadness
· I will love the ugly for their souls of peace.
· Never will I allow my heart to become complacent and satisfied, rather I will feed it with meditation and prayer.
· Never will I allow my heart to become small and bitter, rather I will share it and it will grow and warm the earth.

My seed will eventually grow, blossom and be fruitful.

Peace be with you.

Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope. By Chibu Ndubuisi

                                                                                      Rising Africa: A Narrative of Hope                                           07/08/2017 By Chibu Ndubuisi Peace be with you. In the year 2000, The Economist magazine called Africa "the hopeless continent" hence I am presenting a  narrative of hope about  "Our Rising Africa". The story of Africa is not about hunger,poverty, famine,war,  corruption,  tyranny, dictatorship,  terrorism,  child marriage,  genitial mutiliation, unfavourable inheritance laws for women, advance fee fraud, kidnapping,  ineffectual bureaucracy,  failure of leadership, workers not paid their salaries, sexual offences against children, genocide,  poor infrastructures,  diseases etc.i want to present a narrative of work in progress in African countries and how hope is been given back to people who once had "paradise lost". In their book, Execution: the Discipline of Getting Things Done(2002), aut

RESIST ARREST

                                                        RESIST ARREST                                                   CHIBU NDUBUISI 08/2017 Peace be to you. To resist anything requires knowledge and courage not to give in or yield to antics of entanglement. Captivity stifles and limits.  Captivity is not only when you are holed up in a physical place, it is more than that.  Some have developed  life patterns that resist unhealthy, unproductive and needless distractions which stares at us on a daily basis, by the choices they made, they resisted arrest. while some just flow with the current passively and are arrested by ldeas that have fractured the world.  Eighty two(82) Chibok girls were released from captivity by Boko Haram terrorist organisation in a prisoner swap deal yesterday(7/5/2017). The negotiating teams had a noble obligation of  making sure that no matter the provocations, human life matters.   That human life must be protected and provided for at all cost. They

CURSED OR THE CAUSE.A LESSON IN MISCALCULATION AND MISADVENTURE.   (1) C (2018)                     CHIBU NDUBUISI                           02/04/2018     WEEK 14 “Be careful what you pray for because you may get it and regret”              Peace be upon you. As part of the electioneering jingle repertoire of former Governor of Anambra State Peter Obi, who kicked off his campaign by waxing philosophical in 2003, by posing two questions to the electorate, he asked; are we Cursed or are we the Curse in Anambra state? Taking into account the plunder and pillage the state has been subjected to by political gladiators with the connections to abduct a sitting Governor (Chris Ngige) and the support of the central government.   For many months, teachers were not paid their salaries during the era of Mbadiniju, who turned from an elected Governor to elected evangelist; he absconded and displayed negligence of the duty of statecraft of fashioning good policies, to declarin
