2023 into 2024 God's Goodness

2023 it is ending and Thank God, it's NOT the End. Am grateful for the year, goods immeasurable grace and mercies on me. Am trying to reminisce 2023 in my mind's eye as far back as I can possibly remember.  I started the year slowly focused and knowing the things I needed to get done at least for the first quarter. In hindsight now I can say it all worked out really well, at least until it all went crazy.  The national elections came, and I fought, I voted and hoped for a better government to take over at the national level, yet it was stolen right before our very eyes both at the state and national levels.  On a very deep level this crushed hope, that flicker of hope that Nigeria as a country would turn a corner for good this time. Unfortunately not only that the elections was  stolen but it was done in the most brazen, crude and evil manner.  Every institution of state was and is now captured by a thieving political establishment.  It's taken some time bu...

2024 into 2025.

2024 What a Year Since 2006, I have kept a tradition of reflecting on the outgoing year and setting an outlook for the incoming one. However, this year feels different. For the first time, I feel unsure about what to write. Not because 2024 was uneventful—on the contrary, it was one of the most defining years of my life. So much happened that often left me dazed. My hesitation stems from the routine of 2024, which makes tomorrow, January 1, 2025, feel like just another day, rather than the new slate and fresh start it truly is. Yet, as the Spirit leads and my mind comprehends, I write. -- Reflections on 2024 At the dawn of 2024, I prayed for one thing: to see God's goodness reflected in everything that came with the year. Looking back, I can say with certainty that His goodness was ever-present, even during my highest highs and lowest lows. Passing on of My Father This year, my father completed his race and transitioned to eternity. I remember every detail leading up to that moment...

This is How We Do It!

Montell Du'Sean Barnett Jordan (December 3, 1968) isn American singer, songwriter, and record producer. Best known for his 1995 single "This Is How We Do It", on Def Jams Label -Today he Pastors   an Online Church   master peace church For 54 a years old man Montell Jordan is an absolute classic act, an icon of 90's Soul /R&B music. He's has so much stylish excellence and now above all a Pastor. In the mid 90's he's one of the young  music idol, African American artists we would listen to from half way across the world in the dingy streets of Warri in Nigeria,immitate or try to be a wannabe version of the panache they carry. The back story to the success,we never knew - we just saw the fame and fortune and tried to identify with that. Decades later we get the opportunity to hear the back story,the work,the walk,the raise & falls of stardom. The journey for most is crazy. So many fell off,some lost it completely,some made it then eventually los...

22 to 23 Great & Greater

It is 4:20 PM, am in the living room having a home made meal I cooked myself the previous evening and drink a bottle of warm Martinellis, apple cider wine. I have been contemplating all day when I will make this post. It's the 31st of December 2022 and in the last 16years, every last day of the year I have maintained this tradition of documenting my general thoughts, for the year ending and my hopes and outlooks for the incoming year. I believe that in going forward, it does demands a good reflection backwards also, like the famous quote from the late Steve Jobs of Apple    “You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future"   The interesting thing that life and faith in God has taught me is that this " SOMEHOW" is not a thing of chance or luck.  It's simple God's hand at work.  Every steps he has ordered, even when I take them without k...

In the pursuit of Peace & Quietness

Hear my story, if you will,but let me  lay it down like that popular R&B song from the 90's by  ,Brian McKnight. Steps 1,2,3 & "Back at One" Step One- I was living in this apartment, and it was smack right in from of a Beer 🍻 drinking joint,they probably call it a pub in the UK or a bar in the United States - but in Port Harcourt, (PH city) Nigeria ,it's called a Beer Parlor 🤣,cause people just go thier drink beer,watch the premier league ,and eat "ise ewu" aka goat 🐐 head and listen to very loud noise music.  Just beside the beer palor is a " Gym" at least that's what they called it,and this gym was right opposite my bed room window from across the street.  Every morning from 7am, once I peep out my window, what do I see. Middle age women trying to loss wieght - but all they  keep doing is dance routines, that's all. So every evening from 7pm, the " Beer 🍺 Palor starts playing loud music, am forced to close my window ... F...
