How Internal Transformation Drives External Progress: A Reflection on Personal and National Growth One cannot transform others unless they have first transformed themselves. That's the essential truth about transformation. Also, everyone only replicates externally what they carry internally. No one can give what they don't have. Developers of properties or people don't necessarily learn everything from others, although they may receive guidance from those who originally developed certain ideas, with their approval. One of the things technology has brought is exposure to the wider world. It's fascinating to know that while some countries are building spacecraft and rockets to explore outer space, others are still struggling to build roads and provide basic infrastructure. This disparity can create discomfort among nations still trying to progress. This also explains why, despite politicians and leaders being aware of what developed countries offer, they haven’t been able...

Why the Power Grid Always Collapses and How We Can Boost Power Supply in Nigeria The persistent collapse of Nigeria’s power grid got me thinking: why does this keep happening? And why is the power supply in Nigeria so unreliable? Besides oil, which is a lifeline in our daily lives, electricity is the other essential pillar. If crude oil derivatives are affordable, and if electricity were consistently available, many of the country's economic problems would begin to fix themselves. A Brief Overview of Power Supply in Nigeria There are three major phases involved in the electricity supply we receive at home: power generation, transmission, and distribution. Power Generation How is electricity generated? Michael Faraday introduced the electromagnetic law of induction, which, to simplify, means that when a magnet passes through a conductor, electricity flows.  There are different ways to generate power, but in Nigeria, we rely primarily on thermal and hydroelectric sources. Hydroelectr...

Exploring Life's Lessons: From Casual Connections to Personal and Financial Growth Casual Sex: The iPhone Analogy Imagine buying an iPhone 16, a device that costs a significant amount of money, but only using it for charging. You ignore the advanced Apple intelligence, the improved camera, software updates, and the entire experience the phone offers. Instead, you just buy it to show off on social media and charge it—that’s it. This is what casual sex is like. You engage in one aspect without exploring or valuing the deeper connection and experiences that come with it. In contrast, a real relationship would involve everything you’d do in casual sex, plus more—like getting to know your phone fully, using all the updates, and caring for it. It's about embracing the whole experience, not just one small part. Hardness: Not Just for Diamonds Diamonds are said to be the hardest substance in the world. But since every non-living thing has a living aspect, I’d argue that some people are...

Why Health is the Greatest Wealth Wealth is often seen in the abundance of material possessions, yet health, the foundation of our existence, is the greatest wealth we can possess. Just as we take the air we breathe for granted, we often overlook the health that sustains us every day. In human interactions, symbols of wealth can make life easier—think of dishwashers for those who dislike washing dishes, or cars that make travel more convenient. However, while wealth reflects the external comforts of life, health speaks to the internal well-being that enables us to enjoy life fully. The body is our primary medium of interaction with the world. Our skin provides a sense of touch, the eyes give us sight, the ears help us hear, the nose allows us to breathe and smell, and the mouth is essential for speaking and nourishment. A healthy body allows us to fully express our desires, live a good quality of life, and extend that life for as long as possible. When God created the body, it was desi...

Why One Must Strive to Finish Salvation only exists at the finish line, and it is the one who endures to the end who is saved. Every race, journey, or sojourn has a beginning, and the beginning is often filled with encouragement, enthusiasm, and goodwill, usually fueled by the cheers of others. However, as the race progresses, the athlete or racer must learn to rely on their own inner drive and goodwill, and this fire of enthusiasm must burn bright until the finish line. There’s no reward between the starting point and the finish line—just personal effort. The friends you will meet along this path are endurance, tolerance, and even long-suffering. Without these companions, you may exit the race without reaching the end. Strong starts are important, but strong finishes matter more; the finish is what counts. And since the finish is what matters most, anything that helps you finish strong becomes equally important. There’s a caveat, though: no one can finish what they haven’t started. In...

Becoming Good to Attract Good: The Path to Ensuring Good Things Always Happen to Good People In mathematics, there is a type of equation called the quadratic equation. While I don’t want to bore readers who may not have much interest in math, there is a specific formula that solves all quadratic equations. Once you’ve mastered this formula, you can solve any quadratic equation. Since the universe has its scientific origins in mathematics, you could say that some problems indeed have solutions when approached with the right formula. Regarding the question above, I’ve often wondered—based on what I see around me—why good things happen to bad people and why bad things happen to good people. I discovered I wasn’t alone in this puzzle. King David also faced similar questions and expressed his emotional struggle with the situation in the Psalms. However, David found his answers when he entered the sanctuary of the Lord. Being good is a state of absolute goodness in its entirety. Doing goo...
