DAIRY TO HOME COUNTRY [1]

Am double sure anyone in my shoes will feel elated to be going back to home for a visit after such a long absence. How time flies! Despite the volatile political situation over there, i have made up my mind to make it a time to reminisce about after it is long over.
My first task was to sit down and garner information from friends that just came back,news papers clippings,and telephone conversations with loved ones over there. Then, i quietly sat down to do my home work: Climate very hot[as i would expect]i packed a handful of tee shirt,Need a hundred Naira note to get a trolley [No kidding, thought those were airport property like here]if you do not have that you may be paying more for it and with hard currency. They have a knack of knowing you have just flown in:remove the tags from your luggage's. If you have a friend or relation let he come pick you up otherwise the taxi driver will skin you for more than you should pay for a fare. Just disembarked from the flight? look for a bottle of Eva water, courtesy of coca cola.Any attempt to try other brand could land you in to serious stomach trouble.
Gifts to all friends, relatives and well wishers must be arranged: you can not escaped that because this is your first home coming, you can not tell them stories of how difficult it is over there, too. Thank God for the portability of cell phones and wrist watches [ heard all will appreciate a mobile phone than a pair of jeans or wrappers.
Accommodation? not on your life not even if you have a house you can call your own the reason is that the risk is too big. they now come in large numbers of tens and twenties. so you do not stand a chance with your nightwatchman and one hell of a police dog. heard when these robbers come they mean business so one had better put up in an hotel.You have daylight to survey your house and if you still miss your master bedroom then sleep there during day light.
Is this fear necessary or just plain situation report? Well am not ready to play James bond now so i think i should heed what they say, besides, first hand witnessing will determine what i shall do the next time i come.
Been seeing you in part two.
sit tight.

THE CALL FOR MASS PROTEST IN LAGOS AND ABUJA ON FEBRUARY , 6TH

Exodus 12:38 ** And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.                            Numbers 11:4-6 And the mixt multitude that was among them fell a lusting: and the children of Israel also wept again, and said, Who shall give us flesh to eat? We remember the fish, which we did eat in Egypt freely; the cucumbers, and the melons, and the leeks, and the onions, and the garlicky: But now our soul is dried away: there is nothing at all, beside this manna, before our eyes. There ain't nothing wrong with protest against the government, or any large or even small cooperation, but the motive matters. For the Christian, please remember that your God weighs the motive, no matter how good the cause may be. Amongst those that will join the  schedule protest Less than 3 percent of the total tu...

The Blood of Jesus

  The blood is one of the most important part of the human body system; it is like an engine oil to a car. If there is no engine oil in an automobile powered by engine the car will not only stop, but the engine is broken which professionals call ‘knock’. Blood! so important in religious circle; indeed there is no religion that does not talk about blood, especially, Christianity and the Judaism. Healthwise, most patients needs blood infusion to recover. Medically, blood  is grouped into four : O, A, B, AB These groups all have their origins and meanings, each blood type contains the genetic message of our ancestors’ diets and behaviors, and though weare a long way from early history, many of their traits still affect us. The original blood type was O. And the most symbolic blood of all, the one you will mostly hear people proclaim, confess and exalt is the blood of Jesus Christ, which is central and sacred to Christianity. This among others reason is that sin, which has separat...

Alot of feeding and other event, but the social media was agog with one thing; the gift of Rolls-Royce car to this man of God who has an outstanding record in Evangelism in  Nigeria regarding establishing ministries in every nook and crannies of Nigeria, and extending to other African countries. The social media trend of this expensive car gift was enough to derail many young believers from their faith, and many started asking questions and wanting correct answers. When you hear from one corner, the praise of this man and what he has done in Evangelism, Education and Business, and in the other hands you hear many saying worldliness is what many church leaders of today, are known for, that the gift of two expensive cars is till now, unheard of in advance economy, let alone a country like Nigeria with 70 percent of the population wallow in poverty and living from ha...
