My Thoughts

Love wasn't a part of my speech vocabulary when growing up. I used "LIKE" instead because of the power the word love carries. Occasionally when I used love I really meant it with every fibre in my body. But what do we see now? Love is the most abused word in the English Dictionary. Love has lost its linguistic value. Maybe the world is showing more love now than when I was a kid but I guess not. It's rather the opposite. It's like an improper fraction or an indirect proportion the mathematicians may say. Now we use love more often but we don't show it. What is love? It's simple, it is a verb. That's my simplest definition of love. The Holy Bible didn't give an exact definition of love but gave characteristics of love which I summarise as A VERB.  Love is a verb (the things we do or the actions we take defines whether we are showing love or not) but not a noun (just a word we say to others which aren't backed by actions). Everyone can say I

Life is full of decisions.  Lifeeven starts with a decision. Your parents made a decision to bring a child into the world. Some people they say where born out of mistake but a mistake is a decision that doesn’t produce the desired results.  Our whole lives are shaped by the decisions we make. What course to offer in college, your life partner, future profession the list goes on and on.  There are some decisions we have no control over. 1. When we were born 2. Country of origin 3. Parents and family 4. When we will die (debatable).  Decisions can either lead us astray or to stardom.  What influences your decisions are very important. The friends and the people around you, your environment all come to play in decision making. The question I asked myself the most in my teenage was that how do I know I’ve taken or made the right decision. I had so many choices to choose from knowing that each decision will have an effect on my life. One story changed the decision making part of my lif

I am living in an unjust world, Where money is the root of all success. Where friendship turns to enmity. We live in an unjust world, Where people cheat their way to Success Where love is nothing but just a word. I am Just in an Unjust world, The light in a dark world, but cannot illuminate Darkness is hailed and light trembled upon. The best is the one who cheats best and the worst the one who cheats worst. There is no place for me in this world, for I am an alien. Just in an Unjust world. Gone were the days, When integrity was the hallmark of the success, When the price was hardwork and the prize success. My faith is in The Just God, Who promises eternity for the Just. I look forward to the day when I will be accepted, But for now I am nothing but an alien, There is no place for me here, heaven is my home. Heaven has a place for The Just. I look forward to day I can say, I am Just in A Just World, But until then I will hold my peace, For

Met him on one of my flights; Born in the early 90's, this lad set out with lots of dreams and hope, little did he know that the world wasn't all sunshine and rainbow. It wasn't a fair a place as he thought. It was full of wickedness and deceit. He told himself that no matter what he does he will always try to live a principled life; not taking what isn't his but working hard to acquire every single bit of  success. This wasn't an easy decision as he was always in the minority when it came to things of moral and ethics. It was like running opposite to the direction of traffic coming across lots of cars  with non going in your own direction. His parents were very good Christians and they instilled the fear of the Lord into him. He always had it at the back of the mind that if nobody was PRINCIPLED , God was and is and has always been on the side of the ones who set themselves aside to do good. It came as no wonder that his favourite scripture which later came to be

After a very good impression during the first few days the excitement didn't end but continued throughout my stay. If the town kept records then my name will go down in the history books as the second black and first African to step foot in this town. The town has one black American who lives here and almost everybody knows him as the only black person. Everybody wants the chance to talk to him. The Supermarket Firstly when i arrived i went to the supermarket to get some water and juice. This is the only town  I've been where I've been treated with royalty as i will put it. They treat you in such a way that you feel important and cherished. What happened as that a cashier who had closed saw me and my cousin approaching to pay for the drinks, we joined the other queue which was working. The cashier who had just closed called us to come there. We paid for stuff and she closed again. Really loved it. It was like getting a VIP treatment. Maybe she also wanted the chance to

I was spending my summer holidays in one of the big cities in Ukraine(Kharkov) when my cousin invited me to come along with him to a village for a church program. Those were his exact words a village. As my summer was already getting boring for me. I said it wouldn't hurt to spend some few days in the "village ". So i went to meet up with him via bus then we went by train then got down and continued by bus again to our final destination. What i saw wasn't what i perceived if you come from Africa you will understand me better. It wasn't a village but rather i will say a countryside. A small town with average social amenities. Everybody knows everyone. Yeah you get that a lot if you live in a small locality. Apparently, the town hadn't seen a lot of black people visit so we got a bit of staring  here and there but it was pleasing more than racism, they made us feel important . The town has only 3 pizza joint, so we visited the best according to our host an
