Peace be upon you.


  

This is the last blog post for the year 2018. I read the works of many great minds this year and was shaped for good. I intend to share some of the quotes from the book, The Greatest Salesman in the World by O G Mandino.

a.    My birthplace is a vineyard where there is fruit for all.

b.    If I must be a slave to a habit, let me be a slave to good habits.

c.    Muscle can split a shield and even destroy a life but only the unseen power of love can open the hearts of men and until I master this art I will remain no more than a peddler in the market place.

d.    Who is there who will say nay to my goods when his heart feels my love?

e.    I will hear not those who weep and complain for their disease is contagious

f.    My skills, my mind, my heart and my body will stagnate, rot and die lest I put them to good use.

g.    Why should the miracle which produced me end with my birth?

h.    Yesterday is buried forever and I will think of it no more.

i.      Happiness is the wine that shapes the taste of the meal.

j.     This day he will not buy gold chariot for a penny, yet tomorrow he would exchange his home for a tree.

Peace be with you.

Good bye 2018.

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
