 Adam : His Fall, The Antidote, His Destiny "Genesis  2:20 And Adam gave names to all cattle, and to the fowl of the air, and to every beast of the field..." Adam was an ordinary man until the spirit of God breathed into him and made him an inspired man, this inspiration made him see the earthly world from the lens of God, his spiritual nature knew the names of all the beasts of the field and he named them accordingly.  Adam and Eve only had a knowledge of good.The knowledge of evil was kept away from them. The serpent who was inhabited by Satan the adversary had the knowledge of evil and because he is the apex beneficiary of this knowledge, he sought to trick Adam into his schemes, He achieved this through Eve which was his feeling man.  What felt new, novel and attractive tingled.  The knowledge of good and the knowledge of evil are laterally different.  The moment Adam tasted the fruit of the tree of knowledge of good and evil, he became aware of evil an...

 Asiwaju Bola Tinubu is a man whose politics I learn from. I see how much effort he has invested into shaping Lagos State into what it is today. Apparently, he hasn't lost any election that had his name on the ballot. I tipped him to emerge the winner in the 2023 elections; it wasn't all smooth as the electioneering processes indicated, his emergence as his party's flag bearer coincided strongly with a time when disgruntled citizens desired a change from gerontocracy to a government run by younger leaders who are much closer to the existent realities. Reality is hard to change. There are many factors that have to be perfected, from the origination of an idea to its completion date. Mountains take time to be levelled up, and trusting a leader is often necessary to enjoying his or her tenure. I appreciate Jagaban's people development drive. What people development means, If a man skilled at cutting trees has knowledge on how to cut trees, he will cut many trees successfu...

  Real Life experiences and the need for social approval. The only ones who do not seek social approval are those who have it. The same goes for attention, power, wealth, and knowledge. In Solomon’s book of Proverbs, I encountered the light about a man through desire separating himself to seek and intermeddle with all wisdom and it struck a chord with me.   Emotional life: The earlier years of my emotional life were fraught with negative emotions that I have come to identify with relationships, although I now understand why this was so – my own emotional life wasn’t the best and this reflected in my actions and attracted all the things that I didn’t want in my relationships. I feel relationships – the deep ones – make life better (I don’t feel this, or else I’d have been in a relationship..duh but I have the head knowledge). Women are just going to externalize all their feelings and if you have something in your feelings that you’re secretive about, you’d better steer cl...

 It's 2023. Writing gives me this higher perspective, I mean I get to see my life from a bird's eye perspective.  In 2022, I was actively engaged in service to my country Nigeria and also got a job at a multinational organisation that specialises in professional financial services. The good thing about 2022 was that I got to grow and learn new things that really took me to another level. I've always thought that reality is sweet once one overcomes the obstacles within that makes reality dour and dull. Thing is, overcoming these obstacles is  hard and beyond a point, I think it is humanly impossible to overcome man-made obstacles but spiritually possible to do so. why? see, people will offend you and get on your toes, if you're not like spiritually grounded, you will fight back and fighting back will culminates in setbacks.  Patience is hard and impossible to attain if you don't live in the moment, living in the past or projecting some fantasies into the future furth...

  Cowardice, Recklessness and Courage : Getting out of the comfort zone. Cowardice is despised, recklessness is unwise, courage is the perfect choice. Attaining courage from a point of cowardice requires purposeful reckless acts, you are already used to a comfort zone in cowardice, getting out of that comfort zone is reckless.  If you were fearful, overcoming fear is reckless, if you were poor, overcoming poverty is reckless. Getting accustomed to, and building a comfort zone around recklessness counterbalances the comfort around cowardice, achieving this has already made you courageous.  Your brain builds new neural circuits as you act engage in purposeful acts of recklessness.  In life, cowardice keeps you from what you want, recklessness keeps you stranded because your devil-may--care actions makes you foolhardy, oftentimes recklessness makes you forget why you wanted it in the first place.  Only courage gets you what you want.  Attaining courage from a ...

  A Saucy Road trip.  One of the reasons why many things are left unattended to in a system, is probably the level of internal complicity in that system.  I'm looking out for some new opportunities, so I set out to get by certificates from Akure. I got to Iwo park early in the morning, so I could get back to Ibadan the exact same day. I never knew I was in for some unexpected moments.  The first bus I met on ground was almost full but on sighting the bus, I lost faith in it but gained humor - for anyone who is accustomed to these commercial buses ; as long as these buses have four circular wheels called tires, a battery, a fuel tank, brakes and some set of wires that can start the engine, they are good to go - the rest is OYO (on your own), the tires of this bus was almost worn out, the chairs were tilted at an angle so whoever seats on either edge is either closer to the bus base or his/her head is close to the roof implying that, if the bus runs into potholes, whoe...

  Competition and the competitive feel.  This is one of the feels life offers. . Competition is competition - healthy or unhealthy because there is really no set gauge to measure how healthy or unhealthy it is. We can only try tho' The higher one goes, the higher the level of competition. In the primary school, the competition is lower as there are enough secondaries to go around, although smarter students don't look at that but focus on mastering the primary school curriculum and it helps solidify their success when admitted into the secondary schools. In the secondary school, the competition is more intense, there are more challenges, more people from different spectra of the society are in the same school - the cool, the thugs, the gentle, the stubborn, the dull, the smart, the clowns, the bullies, the serious ones. To be a champion requires being on top of a lot of feels, overcoming the taunts of scorners, the jibes of the losers and the annoyances of the bullies. Studying...
