One often meets one’s destiny on the path one takes to avoid it…
There are no accidents even in the face of seeming accidents
Dreams are for a reason
If we don’t try we never know
There’s no level zero, just that there’s now level zero
So why are you upset? Maybe I surpassed in the history of sucking?
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is mystery, today is a gift and that’s why it is called present
A real warrior never quits
There’s just news; not good or bad. Only depends on what you do and believe
I stay because I thought you might hold the answer to me
To make something special, you just have to believe it’s special
You must believe…
There’s no secret ingredient to life or fulfilling destiny, it’s just you!
You really continue fulfilling destiny until you find inner peace…
Excerpts from KungFu Panda’s movie.
This one touched me…

When you wake up, you plan your day
You list out the things you’ve got to do today
But fate has a plan for everyone
Surprises come as the day is going
You twist and you turn but you keep on rolling
There comes a point when your plan is gone
You may think all is lost but you are so wrong
Fate has a plan for everyone
Ah hey, you never know it all
Sometimes you never see it coming
But all is well
We’re always racing to what is next
But when the Higher Power is guiding us to what is best
Fate has a plan for everyone
The best of plans, the best of schemes
Are nothing but the guesses of mortal beings
So the next time you wake up to plan your day
Remember my words and simply say
Fate has a plan for everyone
I hope you enjoy this one though…
When the ancient Chinese decided to live in peace, they made the great wall of china, They thought no one can climb it due to its height.
During the first 100 year of its existence, the Chinese were invaded thrice. …
And every time, the hordes of enemy infantry had no need of penetrating or climbing over the wall…because each time they bribed the guards and came through the doors.
The Chinese built the wall but forgot the character-building of the wall-guards
Thus the building of human character comes BEFORE building of anything else…..
That’s what our Students need today.
Like one of the Orientalist said:
If you want to destroy the civilisation of a nation there are 3 ways:
1. Destroy family structure
2.Destroy education
3. Lower their role models and references
1.In order to destroy the family; undermine the role of Mother, so that she feels ashamed of being a housewife.
2. To destroy education: you should give no importance to Teacher, and lower his place in society so as that the students despise him
3.To lower the role models: you should undermine the scholars, doubt them until no one listens to them or follows them.
For when a conscious mother disappears, a dedicated teacher disappears and there’s a downfall of role models, WHO will teach the youngsters VALUES?… #copied via Tunde Oyewale’s post
Hello friends, i think this is a great piece that does a great deal of justice to the current moral quagmire our world has gotten herself into..
(The Six stages of deception)
Deception is a process by which wrong becomes right, and right becomes wrong. It’s a complete paradigm shift of opinions, standards and morals that is achieved softly, subtly and often takes a generation to entrench into society.
If you want to know what I am talking about, find out your mother’s views on things like sexuality and marriage and compare them with yours. The contrast in opinions does not necessarily prove that she is old and antiquated; it may instead prove that you have been deceived.
There are six stages of deception.
● The shocker
● The outrage
● The discussion
● Tolerance
● Acceptance
● Veneration
If I wanted to popularize the most unimaginable thing in our society, say like bestiality (the practice of having sex with animals), I would follow these steps.
I would select a forerunner to drop the shocking message on an unsuspecting public. “We should start having sex with animals,” he would announce on radio, TV or in a newspaper.
That is the shocker; the bombshell, so to speak. It would inevitably be followed by outrage. The forerunner is abused and demonized by the bewildered public. Every respected leader in society comes out to slam the lamentable reprobate who dared suggest something so obnoxious.
The forerunner defiantly defends the practice. His critics come out even more scathing. But the forerunner knows exactly what he is doing. He is setting an agenda. Many people don’t understand the effect of continuous exposure on the human mind.
I will give an example most of you will understand. If you ask a girl out and she is not interested in you, the best thing she can do for herself is stay away from you or your words. If she continues listening to you, what was initially unthinkable becomes worth a consideration, then acceptable. Many ladies have fallen for guys they swore never to date just because they didn’t understand the law of continuous exposure.
Once the bestiality message reaches the third stage; discussion, the forerunner has done his job. At this stage there is a big debate over bestiality; with most people still slamming it, not knowing that they are falling into a trap.
I know for a fact that homosexual groups abroad were giving money to people fighting homosexuality in Uganda. Then they would also fund those pushing for it. Initially it didn’t make sense. Until I learnt how deception works. What they wanted was to keep the subject of homosexuality in public debate. They know exactly what they were doing. The more people are exposed to it through discussion, the more it becomes less obnoxious in their minds.
That leads to the next stage: Tolerance. At this stage people say: “I am not going to have sex with animals, but if someone chooses to do it, shauri yake (that’s his problem). Others will say: “Who cares what people do behind closed doors?”I have heard these statements being made by people who clearly don’t understand what they are up against. This is the stage at which science kicks in to ‘prove’ that some people are born with an inherent attraction towards animals and they cannot help themselves.
Consequently, bestiality is included in the UN Human Rights Charter and activists are given a new pursuit. Economic and travel sanctions are used to twist the arms of nations that still forbid it.
Then we start hearing phrases like: “We cannot tell people whom they should love.”
The main purpose of this stage is to ensure that bestiality is legally accepted.
The next two steps are aimed at entrenching it at a social level.
The penultimate stage is Acceptance. At this stage bestiality becomes a conventional alternative way of living. All the outrage has since dissipated. This is the stage at which those still opposed to it are called bestiaphobic (the word will be coined) and they are considered antiquated, old-fashioned, intolerant, dogmatic, religious zealots, bigots…. you’ve heard all those words.
This is the stage at which there are bestiality rights parades in major cities.
Then we are reminded that the same Holy Books that forbids bestiality also forbids eating pork, fornication, drinking etc. Then ‘intellectuals’ think, and use that to rubbish the Word of God, and make it look ridiculous.
The final step is Veneration. This is the stage at which the people who practice bestiality are praised. The liberalist media (which includes almost all international channels) subtly promotes them as ‘cool’, intelligent, exposed. That’s the stage at which celebrities ‘come out’ to reveal that they are ‘proud bestialists’.
Then bestiality begins to win fresh ‘converts’ everyday because many young people will do anything to be seen as ‘cool’ or to be associated with some Hollywood or football star.
That is how you corrupt a whole society.
That’s how previously unthinkable things like atheism and homosexuality and all other forms of sexual perversion have taken root in our society.
Unfortunately, in Uganda, homosexuality has reached Stage four (Tolerance). But in the West, it has gotten to the veneration stage.
You have probably heard of the black homo American footballer who “made history by becoming the first footballer to come out”. What’s historical about someone proclaiming their perversion?
So many other people are being lauded in the media for no other reason other than their homosexuality.
Your mother may not be outdated after all. You may be deceived.
If you found this enlightening, share it with as many people as possible. It might just save them from the soaring plague in our society.

Never been more certain about the path to a capable wife. Join in the search. Let us seek her and praise her… her excellency!
Proverbs 31 GNT
The Capable Wife
10 How hard it is to find a capable wife! She is worth far more than jewels!
(there’s need to mine and diligently search for her excellency)
11 Her husband puts his confidence in her, and he will never be poor.
(she is true source of wealth)
12 As long as she lives, she does him good and never harm.
(hmmm… NEVER harm)
13 She keeps herself busy making wool and linen cloth.
(busy at her career? *surprised face now*)
14 She brings home food from out-of-the-way places, as merchant ships do.
(she goes out)
15 She gets up before daylight to prepare food for her family and to tell her servant women what to do.
(early at waking up. *I need to learn this and imbibe this habit* oh! She even has maids too, yet instructs them)
16 She looks at land and buys it, and with money she has earned she plants a vineyard.
(insightful woman with foresight, saves, invests, and keeps growing)
17 She is a hard worker, strong and industrious.
(need I say more?)
18 She knows the value of everything she makes, and works late into the night.
19 She spins her own thread and weaves her own cloth.
20 She is generous to the poor and needy.
21 She doesn’t worry when it snows, because her family has warm clothing.
22 She makes bedspreads and wears clothes of fine purple linen.
23 Her husband is well known, one of the leading citizens.
24 She makes clothes and belts, and sells them to merchants.
25 She is strong and respected and not afraid of the future.
26 She speaks with a gentle wisdom.
27 She is always busy and looks after her family’s needs.
28 Her children show their appreciation, and her husband praises her.
29 He says, “Many women are good wives, but you are the best of them all.”
30 Charm is deceptive and beauty disappears, but a woman who honors the Lord should be praised.
31 Give her credit for all she does. She deserves the respect of everyone.
(Yes! She is… her excellency!)

Wicked technology is hasty and rash; uses envy or boast for promotion; it methods are arrogant and rude. So are its techniques. It insist on its own way; sometimes irritable and resentful; it’s people rejoice at wrongdoing, not with the truth. Everything wicked goes against love that bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends but wickedness will end. Its root cursed and doers of wickedness doomed for destruction.
Learnt that if I say I love you, it’s because I will be patient and kind; will not be envious or boastful, will not be arrogant or rude. Will not insist on my own way; will not be irritable or resentful; will not rejoice at wrongdoing, but will rejoice with the truth. That my love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things and that my love never ends. Tell me you love me and mean this because I’m learning to mean this as well through the love of God in me- Blog, Opeoluwa Wonuola Olawale
The ability to discipline yourself to delay gratification in the short term in order to enjoy greater rewards in the long term is the indispensable pre-requisite for success- BBM, Udeme Akpan

Through farms
Through countries

Ever refreshed
Always restored
Flowing forever
Unlike ponds
Unlike lakes
Unlike seas
