Fighting to stay Active

 Being more active from the last quarter of 2020, and still managing to graciously carry this through into the end of the of the first 🥇 month of 2021, is one of the things am grateful for. 

Many times I feel like not just doing anything,no workouts,  Jogging,Walking ,Cycling , Playing Tennis,Swimming or doing light weight lifting and body building exercises. All because the " flesh" is weak - that strange voice in my head - thats just there to serve an opposite purpose when am trying or striving to do anything good or make good, better,and better ,best. 



Thankfully somehow "we" (me and a willing spirit) have continued to push through - when "she"(me flesh) fails to keep you out of the gym, she don't give up - she comes and tells you to reduce your set, or limit your daily or weekly workout targets. 


Either reduce your workout time,skip some days, reduce distance covered,cut down on effort levels, and daily moves .."she" tells you don't push your self beyond your limits, again somehow "we" disregarded her voice and have  still pressed on. Since all of that  don't work, she tells you - You know all these ain't making any real difference right-? you still feel same way, and beside you don't need to lose weight, and I answered her -yeah maybe I don't need the weight loss part now, but I do intend to stay health, agile and age with a youthful stamina and so far,so good.



I hope I can keep going - 4days a week,one hour session in the evenings and swimming once every two weeks. Looking forward hopefully to the end of September 2021 to mark one year of a more Active Me..so help "We" God..


And Oh sorry ladies, the "fleshy voice" in my head has a female voice 🤣

Its A Matter of Cash

On the 20th of Jan 2009, i watched on as million and millions of Americans all celebrated one thing HOPE!, and change that lies in horizon, and from my room I wondered will our home land Nigeria ever have something to celebrate about, even if its just change, a change in the right direction. Below is an article written in response to CNN's NIGER DELTA, Planet in Peril,  by a friend of mine,  Comfort Olubo Umaru  a lawyer based in Abuja Nigeria. IT’S A MATTER OF CASH. by  Comfort Olubo Umaru As an avid reader, a former resident of the area and concerned citizen, it would be remiss of me not to start any discussion on the Nigerian Niger Delta with one name. Kenule Saro Wiwa. As a child my favorite TV show was Bassey and Co. This was a screen adaptation of plays written by Ken Saro Wiwa. It was about a wise cracking young man called Bassey and his friend Alale and their varied antics. The show was all about their varied attempts to ev...

Black In The Oval Office, Africa Don't Celebrate Yet

Mr Obama proposes to invest $150bn in alternative fuel over the next 10 years, he said the US would not be held "hostage to dwindling resources, hostile regimes , and a warming planet”. He called for greater fuel efficiency and an "energy economy" aimed at creating millions of jobs for Americans. "We (the US Government )will commit ourselves to steady, focused, pragmatic pursuit of an America that is freed from our energy dependence, and empowered by a new energy economy that puts millions of our citizens to work". Read and read it well Nigerian government, policy makers and anyone who cares, the hand writing is on the wall, since successive government in Nigeria have only payed lip service to creating an economy for Nigeria that is diversified and not heavily reliant on oil, I guess this is a wakeup call. If the major buyer of your product say he see a future of less dependence on not just you as a supplier, but also on the product you sell in the ...

Power of Social Media

So we approaching the last weeks in July 2015, am setting up and trying to know what it feels like working from my new office space within the GRA ( government reserved area) of the city of Port Harcourt, Rivers State Nigeria. A key question for me is, how will I sort out my lunch daily? because it seems like getting lunch is going to be a challenge. As far as I know there are no eateries offering food delivery service in GRA Port Harcourt, unlike in Lagos my office is located in the hub of business Victoria island where its common place to find a range of eateries, pizza joint etc, all offering delivery services. Thank God for google I decided to do quick search online and voilĂ ,! I found Chicken Republic in Port Harcourt. They now offer delivery to some locations in the city and they cover the GRA where my office in Port Harcourt is located. I placed a call to what seems like a central line for all Chicken Republic orders, the customer service center staffs was nice and well...
