UNIFORM EGO: HOW TO DRIVE THAT EGO DOWN


           UNIFORM EGO: HOW TO DRIVE THAT EGO DOWN

“Don’t do what you wouldn’t feel comfortable reading about in the newspaper the next day”. John 
Weston

Peace be upon you.

Today’s post is dedicated to military and Para-military officials who in the discharge of their duties fail to follow the rules of engagement. They become inconsiderate and carry on their duties with a character of uppity and disdain for others not in their folk. The UNIFORM gives them the aura of invincibility and importance devoid of accountability and decorum.

In Nigeria, there is no doubt that Uniform men are the principal law breakers. The break traffic rules at random, they intimidate you on the road through extortion. They involve in human trafficking, armed robbery and collaborate with high criminals as we have witnessed with many examples as in the case of the Billionaire kidnapper “Evans”.
Our problem in Nigeria has a behavioral dimension. Odd political behaviour, odd economic behaviour, odd religious behaviour, reckless driving behaviour and the UNIFORM men are not left out in this oddity of strange behaviours.


One final word, antagonizing people alienates you. Adding value to others adds value to you. Use your job to be a blessing others and you will realize that the job has been a blessing to you. When you use the job to be a curse to others you will equally discover that the job has been a curse to you. The mind that coordinates the activities of violence can coordinate the activities of cooperation.
 


We must not strive for safety at the expense of other people’s safety or project our expenditures at the expense of another person’s budget.

Peace be with you.

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...

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...
