Races, Realms & Realities: The Legacy Of Man's Higher Thinking

Image
Races, Realms and Realities: The Legacy of Man’s Higher Thinking The higher levels supersede the lower levels in everything and in all things, much like the higher levels of thinking are superior to the lower levels of thought. Similarly, the higher man can be said to be superior to the lower man. In our modern world, we have the white race and the black race. In times past, the white race was held as superior due to the planes of thought in which their minds resonated, while the black race was seen as inferior. Just a few decades back, the black race was deeply rooted in culture and superstition. However, while many of the black race’s beliefs might have appeared inferior to the white race, they were real and valid to the black race. In fact, while the whites were focused on developing their minds and their territories—colonizing new lands and subjugating their inhabitants—the blacks were living a life of culture and beliefs handed down by their ancestors. Superiority and inferiori...

Manchester United: Has Real Football Taken The Lead?

Manchester United: Has Real Football Taken the Lead? I was probably seven or eight years old when I chose to support Manchester United. Even after two decades, I still can’t quite explain why. I just felt that was my team. It was instinctual—much like how many Nigerians support their local clubs in the Nigerian Professional Football League or the National League. I’ve stuck with that choice ever since, not because I watched them play at the time, but because the connection was instant, deep, and personal. When I began supporting the club, I quickly became aware of many talented players—and, of course, the legendary manager, Sir Alex Ferguson. In fact, the notion of building a football team around a single player, like Barcelona did with Messi, was a foreign concept to us. Even Cristiano Ronaldo’s stellar performances under Sir Alex didn’t overshadow the manager’s playing philosophy. Rather, Ronaldo fit into it. Transfers were made to complement the system, not just to make headlines. Y...

Charting Nigeria's Path: A Journey Through History, Faith & Development

Charting Nigeria's Path: A Journey Through History, Faith, and Development What's the Way? In 1960, when Nigeria gained independence, Nigerians assumed control over the management of the nation's resources—a decision that has influenced the country's trajectory to this day. South Africa is arguably one of the most developed countries in Africa, partly due to the enduring influence of foreign settlers who, while possessing knowledge and systems that advanced their own interests, inadvertently left behind blueprints that the native population adapted and sustained. Nigeria boasts a rich cultural heritage, a tapestry so intricate that it contributed to internal conflicts, including civil wars and the marginalization of certain indigenous groups. Despite lacking the towering skyscrapers and advanced technology of more industrialized nations, Nigeria possesses a sophisticated cultural identity. However, the country has struggled to harness its abundant resources effectively....

The Spirit Code: Tracing Ancestry, Awakening The Soul & Manifesting Destiny

Image
 The Spirit Code: Tracing Ancestry, Awakening the Soul, and Manifesting Destiny On the surface of the earth, we only see effects; we only see results. How these effects come to be, or how the results come to pass, often seems beyond our reach. Good works and achievements are usually credited to hard work, smart decisions, innate brilliance, and intelligence. Sometimes, genius is attributed to the genetic advantages of one’s lineage. The same logic applies to the acquisition of wealth and riches—often attributed either to ancestral wealth (or "old money," as it is now called) or to "new money," attributed to one’s ability to solve modern problems and profit from the solutions. On the flip side, for bad deeds and crimes, perpetrators often blame the government’s lackadaisical attitude toward their lives from an early age, parental neglect, or even go as far as blaming the devil—an attempt to escape accountability. But the truth remains: by the hierarchy of creation, t...

Between The Uprights: The Subtle Art & Psychology Of Scoring Goals

Between the Uprights: The Subtle Art and Psychology of Scoring Goals.  Football is such an interesting game—I mean soccer. Twenty-two players chase a round leather ball across a field, each trying to send it into a net framed by two upright posts standing 2.44 meters high and a crossbar stretching 7.32 meters across. If there’s one thing football tests thoroughly, it’s precision and accuracy. A tailor threading a needle understands the kind of focus required—it’s a delicate task that can take ages if you lose concentration. Football isn’t too different. In professional matches, grown men sprint across a vast pitch, weaving around opponents, all to either guard their own net or pierce the defenses of the other side. Goal. It’s a goal when the ball hits the back of the net. But it's only a legitimate goal if it’s scored clean—no fouls, no offsides, no infractions. That’s the beauty of standardized play. Sitting before a television, fans often groan at missed chances—balls ballooning ...

Power, Youth & The Path To Change: A Case For Democratic Evolution

Power, Youth, and the Path to Change: A Case for Democratic Evolution As an african, succeeding in Africa is like searching for a tiny earring inside your handbag—difficult but possible. On the other hand, succeeding in America is like searching for that same earring in an amusement park—equally challenging, but in an entirely different way. The key difference is this: success in Africa often demands back-breaking labor, thanks to systemic gaps, while in America, many of those gaps have already been plugged—unless you're venturing into an entirely new field. Africans who aren’t intimidated by the heavy lifting and systemic gaps will remain unfazed. But those who question why such gaps still exist may find themselves yearning for more structured systems. Every nation places its trust in the age group it believes can shoulder its burdens, meet its challenges, and drive its progress. If that age group consists of the elderly, then old men and women will run the government. Fundamental...
