“How long are you going to wait before you demand the best for yourself”



 








Peace be upon you.

I had great difficulties trying to use my fingers to put up this piece of “Doing Fingers & Blaming Fingers” . Doing fingers is about adding value, solving problems, generating ideas that heals. Blaming fingers on the other hand is about abdication of responsibility and enabling the spirit of escapism.

This article is for those who have not kept on shifting their goal post endlessly when all odds and obstacle stare them in the face. It is equally for those who keep complaining, procrastinating and fault finding on why a project must not come to be or why a solution must not be proffered. It is for those who have chosen to feed their communities through their productive activities either as craftsmen, farmers or health workers.

It was Seneca who noted that “words become works”. These works are only made manifest by Doing Fingers and not Blaming Fingers. I appreciate all those with the gift of Midas touch, turning everything they touch to gold and those with Magic fingers, who make and create magical moments for humanity.

Every day we are presented with 24hours, what  problems are we willing to solve with our fingers? Marcus Aurelius averred that “ waste no time arguing what a good man should be, be one” . I will add my voice that “we should waste no time pointing fingers at others; but take the initiative and be the doing fingers that contributes positively to humanity.

Peace be with you.

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...
