Grace, Favour and Passion

I am a product of Grace, Gods grace! I look at my life, events and happenings surrounding me and my family all I can say, and keeping say is lord God almighty thank you for your mercies, your grace and your LOVE!.

I always like to think of myself as not lucky, but favored, I don’t believe in that thing called luck, but I do believe that God can cause things to happen in ones favor, “ draw the lines so that it falls for you only in pleasant places” and that has been my lot,even though sometimes I fail to see and acknowledge that truth.

We live in a world where, we celebrate and crave for a lot of crazy things, not just materials but also certain life styles.

Every body rates you by what you wear, the kind of car you drive, whats the make or model of the phone you use, what part of town you leave the list goes on and on. These qualities and many more now becomes the typical yard sticks for anyone sadly including Christians to measure how much God has been good to us, or on the other hand how he has not been so favorably disposed to our materialistic carvings.

For me time and events in my life has taught me that indeed God knows all, and certainly knows best for everyone. Its not like he withholds good things from you, because not all material things are bad, but having certain things at certain times might just end up literally killing you. So in Gods own setting there is time! and  a season!, but the world we live in expect so much of you at a certain stage or age in life and where you don’t measure up, people tend to see you as a failure or as failing.

The catch with the the time and season doctrine is that many lazy people use that as a defense for not having been able to make something out of there lives, the truth be told with a lazy or slothful man there's no real time or season, unless he amends his ways.

A man with a goal, -an achievable goal, a man with a vision,- a clear cut mental picture, is definitely a man on a mission.

His hands are not weak at what they find to do, his spirit man is a refined assurance that he is created for a purpose and destiny is unfolding on a daily basis. If h aims,shots and misses he shots again and again till he hits the bulls eyes, that’s the man you look for.

In everything, look for passion and if you find passion,also  find what fires that passion. If the fuel that fires your passion is the right kind of fuel, then your passion wont burn out.

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...

Grateful Reflections

( With Dr Bola Afolabi, Current CIPS President) On the 28 February 2006, I started a tread called Logistics/Supply Chain Management on one of the most popular webforum in Nigeria called Nairaland. Follow link to view postings on this tread http://www.nairaland.com/nigeria/topic-7497.0.html My aim basically was to use the opportunity an online forum can offer, to interact, share and gain ideas, information,network and generally increase awareness of the Procurement, Logistics and Supply chain management profession. This act of sharing my passion for the profession online has over the years sparked off series of positive and constructive events in my career quest, some of which I have reflected upon in the text below. Although my initial undergraduate study and immediate post study working experience were all related to engineering, I soon fall in love with the logistics and SCM profession when in March of 2005 I gained my 1st substantive Job with Integrated Logistics services Nig...
