DARE TO KNOW THE DEVIL THAT I KNOW? III

What else do you call a man that live in luxury at the expense
Of the ones meant to serve?
What other name do you call a man that loots the masses?
What other tag do you give a lecturer that sexually harasses his or her student?
How do you describe a boss that denies a subordinate promotion because of unauthorized sex?

What else do you call them that kill for their own belief?
Don't you agree with me that a monster is one that rapes?
Is s/he not a monster that backbite his or her neighbor
Or perhaps seek the downfall of their fellow humans?

Is s/he not a devil that trades his or her friend's life for money?
Devil is not living anywhere but among men
Devil is not a figure we've been made to believe
The real devil is in or among men
Self is the only devil in the world today
By default all men are selfish
We all do things that suite our selfish desire

Government loot to acquire wealth
Lecturers harass students to quench their libido
The extent to which we allow flesh is the extent of evil in us
The manifestation of self is pride, power, hatred, malice, murder, etc.
All are work of the devil
Devil exist not, men are the real one
That beast, that devil is in men
If you kill it, it dies. If you allow it, it lives.

IT MATTER

IT MATTER! The topic to be discussed today is ‘it matter’, but the question is, what matters? Join me as we look into this deeply. When I was in secondary school my Agricultural science teacher taught us then GERMINATION and the factor responsible for growth. Some of the factors are: viable seeds, moisture or water, nutrient (soil) and air (oxygen) When I meditatively considered these factors I realized that not even one out of them is un-important. If any of them isn’t available then the seed growth or germination is in jeopardy. Applying this into our lives’ journey as humans, it is evident that some factors also responsible for our own growth in every endeavors of life. Some take this serious while some others don’t. When I say growth I do not mean increase in the number of age. Neither do I mean increase in stature. We grow in business, career, and ministry and so on. For us to grow in life we need to take these factors seriously. For instance the viability of th

MY LOCAL FRIEND

We started this series last week when we talked about ‘lessons from a game of football.’ The capsule overview of last week post is the fact that in a game of football they have a common goal, which is to win. And we established that if at all victory would be their friend then there is a need for them to work as a team. Here is a personal experience shared by a very good friend of mine: I have many friends both in my town and neighboring town. Some of them are educated while some are not. There was a time I went for a conference outside my town. I met new friends at the conference whose exposure transcend some of my friends at home. I needed to get their contacts but both my subscriber identity module (SIM) and phone storage were completely full. A thought cropped up in my mind to delete two of those my friends’ contact. I wanted to delete two numbers, a guy number who was a drop out of secondary school and one ot

SEEDS

I remember when I started teaching as a side hustle. I didn't really take it serious. The first student I encountered, just walk up to me for asistance, and I taught him at no cost. The last time I met him, he is already a graduate. After I graduated from the university I taught in one, two, three or four places. But those seeds I sowed then jokingly have become trees, I mean big trees. Just last month I met two of my students in one of the reputable university in Nigeria; one is studying Chemical engineer and the other Computer science. Those were the one I taught between 2017 and 2018. Some of the students I taught between 2015 and 2016 had graduated from universities while some are in their final year. Some of my students are still in secondary schools and they are doing fine. I have students that are not in school but follow their passion either as singers, comedian, etc. and they are as well doing fine. Why am I telling you this? Is it for show, or perhaps to
