DIFFERENCES

Hi it been a while, i have been so busy, sorry for leaving you guys alone with a word. Anyway I am back once again. In future I will like to talk about money and making money, but not for today. In the mean time I will like to say the world cup is finally over and Spain deserves to win the cup. I just wish one of the African countries took the cup home. But, oh well it took Spain years to get here and I know that : so long as there is life there is hope. Who knows what will happen in Brazil 2014....

Now I will like to tell you a little secret, its about marriage. This thing that they say opposite attracts I feel strongly that it is very true. I have observed my husband for a while and I have come to realize that, we both have too love whatever the other person loves. That's the sacrifice about it. Now let me talk about channels, my husband loves National Geographic Channel, Discovery Channel, Animal Channel and the likes. I can not stand all those channels to me they are boring and to stiff. Now guess what channels I like...please don't laugh at me and I don't think its my fault...lol..... I love Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Universal Channel, TV5 and the likes. My baby can't stand it for one second and he cannot comprehend it. But you know what, we have come to an agreement. We watch what each other likes, just in other for us to be together. Even though I have to sleep through his Discovery Channel days or him mine we do this cos in marriage with all our difference, we have to make sacrifices. Differences come with sacrifices....now shhhhhhhhhhhh please don't let him know I told you......lol..

Ciao and Happy new week.

P.S: Learn to love your spouses differences its worth the while.

Resources

Hi whats up? special eyah to Ghana for losing yesterday night, they should have not let Uruguay to equalize, in the first place. Anyways welcome home, you did a good job never the less. Now back to the main topic of today: I am doing something that has to do with the Niger Delta Basin and The Amazon Basin. I have found out that but basins are very similar in mammals, resources, terrain, rain forest, oppression and let me add now insecurity. As i studied the Niger Delta basin, something struck me, i was amazed at all the natural resources available in that basin, untouched and untapped. One of the resources that struck me was the Mangrove Pulp.

The Mangrove Pulp is a substance that is used for the production of paper, and do you want to know what it is being used for, as of today? it is being used for as local firewood. You can imagine the waste!!!! In my research i found out that a sample had been sent to a German company, after which the German company proposed coming to set up a factory/ office for the production of paper in Niger Delta, but like everything in Nigeria, till today as we speak nothing has been done concerning that. My question is this, if we have so much natural resources then why are we only concentrating on one? Why are we killing ourselves and causing insecurity because of it? Why is the country divided because of our precious black gold?

A geologist told me that they were told that in Nigeria, there isn't any natural resources on this earth that cannot be found, if looked for. It may not be in large quantities but at least they can be found. Now my question: "what can we as individuals do to change our nation? Because from what i have seen the government, is a forgotten issue, our parents era is over and it is time for us to take up the staff and right the wrongs our parents, fore fathers, presidents, politicians have done. Maybe someone reading out there can cash into the idea of bringing back the German company for the production of paper, despite the odds. Think of what it will do for our nation and the Niger Delta basin.

Before i get of for my weekend off, i will like to chip in something" i stumbled on an advert: "vacation in the Amazon rainforest". "Family vacations in the amazon forest, learn to live the life without civilization". For me my idea of a vacation will never be an experience in a rainforest, looking at wildlife and mammals, but those vacation resorts are making a fortune. Why can't Niger Delta be a tourist haven for all the crazy tourists who love adventures?

P.s "i pray for the black gold, our curse to dry up so that our senses can be put to use in the name of Jesus".

Sometimes You Want To Hurt Back

Have you ever been in a situation where you just want to lash out at the ones you love. When you feel like hurting them back because of what they have done to you or because of the hurt you feel right now. Have you ever wondered why it is only the people you love that hurt you and see your pain. Have you ever wondered why in spite of the hurt, in spite of what they have done to you, you are expected to say sorry first because society dims fit or it is the right thing to do? Do not worry you are not alone. Everyone at one time or the other has been hurt by a loved one. It may have been so bad that suicide became an option.

I am here to tell you that you should just let go and move on. Forgiving and forgetting is not easy at all, don't let anybody lie to you, but when you choose to forgive and forget, it is one of the best thing in life.

As this new month begins, decide in your heart to forgive everyone, forgive your love ones, forgive your husband or wife who has cheated on you several times, forgive your father who was never there for you as a child, forgive your dear friend who betrayed you, forgive your colleagues who set you up, forgive everybody no matter the crime and trust me life will be better.

Take care of yourself and have a blessed, fulfilled, fantastic new month. Ciao

The Secret Millionaire

Flipping through the boring channels i stumbled on BBC Knowledge, the program "the secret millionaire" was on. If you don't know about this program let me explain it a little. : " a rich man or woman, usually a multimillionaire, go undercover to a very poor area in the U.K and look for people they can help. When they finally make their choice and give out money, you see the reaction on the people's faces. They cannot believe their luck or blessings. The episode i just watched, the millionaire Kevin former M.D. of Rover gave a homeless charity organization 150,000 pounds to build homes for homeless families, i can go on and on..

Seeing this makes me ask myself, how can people be so good? What are our rich people in Nigeria, in Africa doing with their money? What are you doing with yours? One must not wait till one is a millionaire to make a difference in someone's life. Look around your neighborhood, your community, you will find someone in need.

Do something nice this week, help someone in need.

Ciao.

Happy Father's Day

Hello dears whats up? Today started off as a very dull day in Lagos, it was raining cats and dogs, but now i can see the sun trying to stick its head out.... Anyway i am here today to talk about father's day that was yesterday. Father's day originally not as popular as Mother's day was celebrated yesterday, a day set aside to celebrate fathers. Now who is a father? What kind of father do you want to be? What kind of father did you have growing up? What kind of husband do you want as a father for your kids? In President Obama's "Father's Day letter" he said that "it's almost impossible to fill the void of a father's role in a child's life. I know some of us out there had fathers who took part in conception and left the rest of the wok for our mothers, from the day of conception to the delivery to the upbringing. Some of us out there we have been hurt by the attitudes of our fathers, either by the way we were treated as children or by the way or father's treated our mothers. A lot of us watched our father beat our mothers day in day out and all we could feel for him was hatred and thoughts of vengeance. Some of us had thieves for fathers, who stole everywhere they went to and saw a reason to change. Some of us saw our fathers with a new girl or woman or new toy everyday of our growing lives and sometimes we wondered why did our mother's ever get married to the useless man that calls himself "Daddy". But some of us, above all had fathers who where role models. Who made us believe that we could conquer the world. Who was there for us despite the long hours at work or the unpaid bills. Who was self less and thought only of the good and happiness of our lives here on earth. Some of us had father's who where there to correct us, discipline us, and fill the void in our hearts that only a father can....Thumbs up to fathers who where always there. And if you fall into the category of those who had father's but didn't have "a Dad" don't worry you can be the father you never had. You can be the best Dad in the whole universe. You can make a vow like President Obama did: "no matter what you will always be there for your kids. I live with this poem

F.A.T.H.E.R.S

Faithful

Always there

Trustworthy

Honoring

Ever-loving

Righteous

Supportive

WHAT MAKES A DAD

God took the strength of a mountain, the Majesty of a tree, the warmth of a summer sun, the calm of a quiet sea, the generous soul of nature, the comforting arm of night, the wisdom of the ages, the power of the eagles flight, the joy of a mourning in spring, the faith of a mustard seed, the patience of eternity, the depth of a family need, then God combined these qualities, when there was nothing more to add, He knew his masterpiece was complete, And so He called it......Dad

Something new

Hi whats up? I hope you are having a lovely weekend cos i am, although a little bothered about the cameroon march and hope they can finally pull it off. But anyways i love my Etoo is showed me what he is made off. Okay i am back to what's on the menu today : "something new". I went for a business seminar in a church called "This present House", nice creative church if you ask me. They have taught me that it is not a sin to worship God in a creative way. Like i am told that when its time to pray Joyce Meyer gets comfortable and gets a cup of hot chocolate and then she talks to God how awesome. Now back to the point, lol......please forgive me i divert a lot.

Now in the business seminar the speaker was a Pastor Joshua Shonubi of Newlife Chapel. From the seminar i learnt that there are a lot of opportunities in Nigeria and the world at large that we do not know about. He talked about the power of the internet, technology and how it has made the world a global village. He made me understand that if i have a phone, a computer and access to the internet i am a product of the global world and can do and see my business as a global business. He made me thinking, instead of waiting for the job let me create an opportunity for myself. Start with all the unfinished business in nigeria, if we look deeply there are a lot of raw talents in this country untapped and underutilized.

I have learnt that i have wasted a lot of time sulking and wondering why it has been difficult to find a job. I will use the talents God has given me and succeed, for He said that the riches of the gentiles I will give you, and whatever you touch I will prosper. Why should i be poor and the gentiles be rich. Why should i a believer not be the one to make an impact in society?......

We need to be informed and knowledgeable even Proverbs says it, my people perish for lack of knowledge ..........

P.s make the internet your friend, not just for facebook or chatting but for research and knowledge, and unlike what you have heard from birth business and bible work hand in hand, don't forget that. Will continue next time we meet, ciao.

Sorry how difficult or easy

Hello and how are you doing today? before i go to bed i just want to pour out my heart. Today wasn't a bad day for me if i may say but i am in the mood where the "i am sorry" sentence is a little bit to heavy for me. Somebody said that when you are the first person to say that you are sorry it means you are the most mature person in the relationship. How true? right now, with the way i am feeling i think that i want to be the last person saying "i am sorry", don't you think. It makes me feel on top of the world, don't you think? lol come on who is with me on this one?

Anyways deep down i know and i have always know that it's more matured to be the first to use the "i am sorry" sentence. Yes i can hear you it is not easy at all, some times you just want to ignore that little voice telling you to just swallow your pride and say that you are sorry even when you weren't the one at fault. You want to listen to the aggressive voice telling you not to even dare, that you are going to look very small and you will just be taken for granted because you said "i am sorry".

If we all learn to say "i am sorry" first the world will be a better place, relationships will wax stronger and stronger, families will have a more solid foundation and we will all sleep peacefully at night, believe me i have tried it and it works...it still doesn't make it easy at all.....

It's time for me to go to bed now, before i say goodnight please join the campaign and learn to say sorry first no matter the situation. Ciao
