Peace be upon you.

Added time in soccer is normally given to make up for some stoppages’ during the actual game or for a winner to emerge when the contest requires a champion. So also, when we wake each day to live life, we must be mindful that we are mortals. The extra day added to us, is to make us champions of our various endevour.

Hence, this extra day, this bonus day, I will no longer waste the talents and resources committed to me. 

How do I tend to make use of this extra day?

·         I will never define myself as a victim.
·         I will not wait for the world to get better; I will take the initiative to make it better.
·         I will improve on my manners.
·         I will improve on the words I use.
·         I will focus on a purpose driven life.
·         I will waste it no longer on trivialities, frivolities and idleness.
·         I will commit myself to family bonding
·         I will take that bold step of faith.
·         I will place a call to that sick friend, that elderly Man/Woman.
·         I will go further to ask her, if she will marry me?
·         I will quit an abusive relationship.
·         I will quit that toxic job.
·         I will go for that medical examination
·         I will no longer be a busy body but a busy soul.
·         I will put up that proposal.
·         I will commit myself to that project.
·         I will not rue over that failed project.
·         I will live my life fully because many better than me have gone.
·         I will reconcile with those who offended me and those I offended.
·         I will show generosity and not greed
·         I will employ my service to help those in need.
·         I will not go wrong with things when they go wrong.
·         I will forget about that vengeance mission.
·         I will reduce unhealthy habits that will cost me much.
·         This extra day I will bury procrastination forever.
·         I will give more to make it count.

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 binding and casting Lucifer, Japan went into technological development. While we were speaking in tongues, Denmark went into education of her citizens.

Since those that went into industrialization, technology, infrastructural development, ICT, education etc has been re...

                                         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...
