Why

As long as you can think, questions are what you cannot do without. They introduce to new knowledge if answered correctly. a wise man will know and will keep on knowing because he keeps on asking.

Never be ashamed to ask questions from someone you assume you are better than; most especially if that person has the answer to that question: if you ask, you shall emit yourself from shame.

 

In order to stay out of shame I want to admit my ignorance to be properly tutored, so I can learn and know why…

Why do NEPA derive pleasure in taking light the moment it is time for English Premiership or Europeans Champions League?

Let bribery and corruption be sincerely dealt with then there shall an end to this evil conduct. 

 

Why do poor men think they can never be rich? They should change how they think. That only can teach them how to think and change.

Why do most rich men believe they can never be poor? Never believe in what cannot stand the test of time: sometimes riches out of strong oppositions suddenly develop wings and fly away.

 

Why do some single men feel they will never be married? Never feel you are inferior to any lady. Why do a lot of married men wish they were still single? All that you desire in a wife are locked up in that woman. Open her up and see for yourself.

 

Why do a lot of women wish to be mothers? To be a mother is not just by having children, there are great responsibilities attached to that. Why do some women wish they were never mothers? Bring up your children in the right way so you don’t loose your manners.

 

Why me? It is you because everybody has a share of problem. That could be yours. I have mine I am battling with.

For Tomorrow’s Sake

 

Tonight is last night’s tomorrow

Yet tomorrow is darker than yesterday

But today’s sunrise sets

To bisect their differences

Into the umbra of mystical umbrella

A shade that nights off days.

 

Yesterday was once today

So today cannot die tomorrow

Because yesterday is today’s gift for tomorrow

But yesterday died of tomorrow today

When yesterday presented tomorrow’s gift today

Making tomorrow the summary of yesterday today.

 

Yesterday’s tomorrow is today

But today, tomorrow is better than yesterday

And yesterday’s wish is today’s waste tomorrow

Today is innocent of yesterday

So leave yesterday for tomorrow’s sake today.

The Poor Man’s Prayer

 

Oh my father, give me what to eat today

And if I should meet any man, let it be a rich man

If I ask anything from any man, let me have it

This is what I pray, my heavenly father

 

 

Oh my heavenly father, I ask favour today

As I go, looking for what to eat, let it come easy

Where there is no food, let there be food by your grace

This is all what I pray, my heavenly father

 

Oh my heavenly father, I am going in thy name

And let me see favour where there is no favour

If I ever meet any being, let me be loved

This is my earnest prayer, my heavenly father

 

Oh my heavenly father, I look up to you today

If I make mistake in the office

Let my boss not acknowledge it as mistake

This is my salvation prayer my father.

Love Our Emblem

 

My heart yearns for your upliftment

Because your success is my success

Even though we are ranked with great difference

Because we have the gene of Christ in us

Closed up by our flesh

Making sure we do not live by our fist

But by lovely compliments from our lips

So when I’m up there I promise

To help you get to your apex

Since the law of the kingdom says

 “Love one another as yourself.”

 

Love is our identity

So we ‘ll not live in its irony

Through this emblem will the world know

We are connected to trinity.

 

Today is my turn of exaltation

While tomorrow might be yours

But when all these happen

Let us take after our saviour

So that all loving and unloving creatures

Will give into our reputation

About the Love from above.
