A New Nigerian

As we celebrate our democracy today, with high hopes of a better Nigeria, I will like to shift our focus a little from those in authority to us that are being governed. We as followers should take up our responsibility. We should do what's right. Do it because it's right, then Do it right. We should have a change of attitude and ensure that we ourselves are agents of change and transformation anywhere we found ourselves. We must be willing to obey authorities and laid down laws and ordinances. We should pay our tax and bills as at when due. We should love ourselves regardless of tribe and ethnicity. If you love me you won't cheat or dupe me, you won't want to steal from me. We should embrace peace for nothing can be built in the time of war. Also, don't let us bad mouth and speak speak evil of our leaders. Give honour to them, reverence them regardless of whom they are because every authority is constituted by God and speaking against them is speaking against God. Let's be correct citizens. And finally, lets pray for those in authority. Our prayer alter is our control room. It's a place where we can determine what we want them to do according to the will of God. As for me I choose to be an Agent of Change and Transformation, I choose to be a blessing to Nigeria, I choose to work towards seeing a better Nigeria that I and my children and their children will be proud of. I therefore pledge to Nigeria my country to be faithful loyal and true, to serve Nigeria with all my heart, to defend her unity and uphold her honour and glory. So help me God.
I am the new Nigeria.

GETTING IT RIGHT Pt 3; Just before you Jump

Today, I will be concluding on the series Getting it Right. I hope you've been blessed reading and ruminating on it. Remember, it's not the reader that is blessed but the doer. Don't just read for reading sake, share it with others and do what is required of you. Let's consider the last temptation the devil gave and see how we are copying that too. 3. The devil said, if you are the Son of God jump down for the scripture says he shall give his angels charge over thee and in their hand they shall bear thee up, lest at anytime thou dash thy foot against a stone. But Jesus said, thou shalt not tempt the Lord your God. For some of us that think the devil does not know the scripture, you must have realised how wrong you're from that verse. I don't think it's right to compare ourselves with the devil but on a serious note how will the devil know the scripture and you the child of God, the owner of the Words doesn't know it not to talk of quoting it ver...

Monday Morning Motivation ; Attitude is Everything

Monday Morning Motivation (M-Cube) Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it. Attitude is simply a mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways. Simply put, it's the way we act due to the mental picture and belief system formed within us. This makes attitude a product of the mind; thoughts. It is how you see the things around you, how you deal with the situations you face, and what you think about life. You've got to listen to yourself. If you sound like "God, my life is so difficult. I will never be rich... Everything works against me.... Everyone hates me...” then, you have a problem. Many times what hinders us from progressing in life and being the best is a negative attitude. A negative attitude is like a flat tyre, if you don't change it you're going nowhere. Even though we can't control the obstacles on our ways, we can control our attitude. If you maintain a positive attitude no m...
