Bright Day

As I woke up this morning, the song that came to my mind was one of the songs we sang during my primary school days: 'the day is bright, it's bright and clear, O happy day, the day of joy, the day is bright, it's bright and clear, O happy day of joy'. Guess you remember it right? Does it make any sense today being the first working day of the year? I believe it does. The day is bright, full of opportunities to advance and move forward to achieving your goals and targets. The day is clear- a brand new day to set the pace, to kick start all you had highlighted for the year 2016, and clear enough to begin to write the success story of this year in your career, academics, businesses, relationships, calling etc.
It's a happy day because this is the first monday in 2016 and you are privileged to see it. Happy day because it's starting a new dawn in your life and endeavours. Thirdly, it's just must be a beautiful one for you. And finally it's your day of joy. I believe everyone will have a good day and even if you're not privileged to have one, it's still a day of joy. No one have access to your joy bank, no one can steal your joy unless you give the permit. So, you have all the joy you can have and circumstances notwithstanding, you can always choose to be joyful because when you are joyful you are lifeful.
Go out with happiness, go out joyfully because today is bright and clear and because today, like every other day of the year, you'll be writing and working out your success story.
It's indeed a bright day.

God's Got You

I was on a trip recently and we drove into a difficult terrain. The driver did well by maneuvering the terrain well and got us safely out of it. However, during this drifting, I doubted his professionalism to get us out safely, in fact I panicked, I gave my opinions and advise based on my experience of driving. Unfortunately, my driver will do the opposite, stating reasons why my counsel will not work and truthfully, his judgement always proves to be right and at the end he drove us safely to our destination. This experience got me to think of how many times we have given God our thoughts and advice on what he should do or should have done. We tell him the direction we feel is right for us to go and at times drag the steering with Him. God is to be trusted. The moment you make him the driver of your life, you can trust him to take you safely to a glorious destination. The terrain may be difficult, He might drive you through surprising and difficult places, just hold on and trust him. H...

Nigeria At 55: Look Back...Look Forward.

Yesterday, we celebrated our 55th independence anniversary and while pondering on what to write to commemorate our 55th independence day celebration, I discovered there are a lot of perspectives I could write from. So many topics and issues quickly raced through my mind, like, '55 Years After; How far so far?' 'Independence or Dependence, Where are we going? Etc. But in the midst of it all something exceptional dropped on my mind; which is Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving? Yes. Thanksgiving. Many would be quick to analyse, condemn, discuss and compare the state of the nation being 55 years after we got independence, well, that's not bad. But isn't it good for a man at 55 to thank God for the years past spent? Ask any 55 years old man and he will tell you it has been rough and tough, appointments and disappointments, joys and sorrows, ups and downs, successes and failures, but yet he will be grateful for the privilege of being alive to see 55. How does Nigeria fit in...
