WORKING FOR THE FUTURE WE WILL NEVER SEE


WORKING FOR THE FUTURE WE WILL NEVER SEE

“Oh, I often sit and ponder when the sun is sinking low, where shall yonder future find me? -- Shall I be among the living? Shall I mingle with the free?
  Jennie Stout

Peace be upon you.
Jonathan Sacks averred that “There are rivers we will not cross, promised lands we will not enter, future we helped shape that we will not live see”. The world of today is not as a result of our singular effort. So much effort were put in by others who never lived to witness the manifestation of their dreams but believed that one day their little efforts would count towards making the world a better place. Hence, the track Heal the World by Michael Jackson, advises us to “

“Heal the world, Make it a better place, for you and for me and the entire human race”. 


Some missionaries died in Africa as a result of malaria but today their impact on the educational system cannot be downplayed.  Today Malaria will not have easily killed a missionary.  Some parents paid through their nose to give us a better future that will make us live responsibly with each other and contributing positively. Working for the future we will not see is about thinking on a generational timescale.

Abdication of responsibility of the present is not permitted. Tupac Shakur sang in his “Letter 2 My Unborn” that” To my unborn child... in case I don't make it Just remember daddy loves you” .  We equally must be bold and able to say to the future generations in deeds that in case I don’t participate in the future, just know that I played my part in healing a fractured world and contributing to humanity’s progress.

To all of you processing this information today, live responsibly and keep the contributions growing, endevour to end compromises that sabotages the future generations.

Peace be to 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

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

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,
