I heard of this star that shines in the east. And Its not an ordinary star. High it lies in the starry night sky , showcasing its beauty with a radiant white light! Could it be the prophecy! I think this is it!  It was said that this star will shine on the day a saviour will be born to us , who will be the king of the Jews. I can't wait to meet him! We must go on this journey, for this is a wonderful news! How lucky we are to discover this! Lets prepare the Camels and don't forget your gifts, for when we meet him we will worship him with it! I will give him gold, you can give me mrryh and  my friend frankincense would be great! Oh bethlehem here we come for your city is blest to host this great King!! Merry Christmas! Everyone

On a cold  christmas eve in 1952, when korea was in the middle of a civil war, one young woman struggled along a village street, because she was pregnant and about to deliver a child. She pleaded with passerby's."help me ! Please. My baby"   no one paid attention to her. A middle-aged couple walked by and one of them pushed her away and mocked her saying "where is the father ? " the couple laughed and went on. The woman almost doubled up from a contraction as she watched them go. "please.." she begged. She heard of a missionary living nearby who might help her. Quickly she began walking to that village, hoping the man will help her and the baby. Shivering and in pain she struggled over the frozen countryside. But the night was so cold . Snow began to fall. Realizing that the time was near to deliver her baby, she took shelter under a bridge. There alone her baby was born on christmas eve. Worried about her new born son, she took off her own ...

Is there a future for him? While helping my parents today on a farm in a remote bush, something struck my mind. I saw this young fulani boy passing by with some herds of cattle as they seek harvested farms for their animals to feed on. It's the season the nomadics usually show up. In this period of time, farmers here in northern Nigeria are busy harvesting their farm produce, which consist of maize, groundnut, cowpea etc. And when they are done the fulani's will usually let their cattles to feed on the remains, while sometimes they will deliberately allow their animals into the farms that are yet to be harvested which eventually leads to conflict and sometimes even death. So when i saw this young fulani fellow, moving with a small white water container hung by his side while his hands were resting on a stick placed around his shoulders in the herdsman style, i began to wonder what his dreams are? And i  imagined if he even have dreams. For sure he is not edu...

Hope gives us the reason to proceed, faith gives us the assurance of attaining the goal, patience gives us the comfort that waiting for it is worth it and endurance gives us the strength to overcome the difficult moments. Whatever it is you are currently facing in this life, no matter how difficult it is, You have what it takes to overcome. And all you have to do is never to give up on yourself. Because many thought that they have tried everything possible but it is not working, yes it might not work but that does not mean you shouldn't keep trying. Always believe that things will work out above all odds, clear the tears, fill your heart with hope, do away with the worries because it will only rob you of your joy. For you've got everything within you to succeed, you just need to learn how to use it. 

The world calls her with different names , admires her beauty and respects her soft spoken spirit. A nation cannot do without her because she is the nation , a transformer of every generation and an integral part of the society. She is also a mother to billions , millions and thousands of people who look up to her for support and care because of her caring and loving nature. Deep within her lies  a bowl of empathy and desire to help her dear ones even if it means sacrificing her happiness for theirs. And her shoulder has always been  a tears absorbing floor for many to cry on . She is very strong but the world thought she is weak and fragile because she doesn't fight with her hands , but instead with her heart. Instigating a war is what she will not do,  but during wars and conflict's , she has always been the reason for hope and happiness to the heart of many and that makes her a symbol of peace and unity. With her contagious smile,  she makes others...

What is death?  Who is death? Does he has a personality?  Who is he?  Why does he makes us sad or cry? In fact why do we even fear it?  The story of this young man said it all. John was a gregarious type of guy, a tall , handsome looking young man about 5ft tall. He lives in a neighbourhood  near the city drive post office where he was loved by almost all. Every Saturday in the morning old Mrs Johnson  always hears the soft , gentle voice of a man  in joggers  and a sweaty T-shirt , trotting energetically pass her house as she waters her Roses . "Good morning , Mrs Johnson , i love your Roses!". With her old  wrinkled dimple smile, Mrs Johnson always replied "Thank you! Dear". That was John. He works as a clerk in his place of work at BB-enterprise in town, And he is fond of cracking jokes with his colleagues during break hours. Even though he dislikes reading fairy tales from his childhood, he never forgets to read one of the...

The thinking faculty is amazing, Its wonderful and magnificent. I imagined it as a multipurpose Virtual machine  of creativity , which means every person i see is like a company having this powerful machine that produces amazing things. This person who is now a company , has a brand name for the items  produced by this virtual machine(thinking faculty) ,  generated arbitrarily by the behaviour based on character of the person ,  who leaves his trade mark on the items produced,  generated by his attitude. But it seems like most people under estimate the potency of this faculty even though we make use of it everyday. This calls for something new or an upgrade which means We have to take a little step further, to go beyond the little things we do with this powerful machine which means we need to give in more data, information, knowledge etc.  to this machine in order to make best use of it. Because thats the raw materials this faculty needs and when its ...
