DARE TO KNOW THE DEVIL THAT I KNOW II

But the truth is devil appear not as such
If he appears the way you know,
I'm cocksure you will keep your space
I need no prophet to know you won't marry him or her
But the truth is, s/he appears as other handsome
Or beautiful men and ladies

If the devil is like a monster as we were made to know
Then we need nobody's warning to stay away from him
But he's also tall, dark and handsome.
He's also short, light and cute.
She's also full of contours and adorns with figures

He also gets a nice smile and a nice breath
If the devil is what you believe him to be
I know you will not transact business with him
If the devil is what you know her to be
I'm sure you won't think of sleeping with her

If a witch appear as one
I'm sure you will not be their friend
But devil appear not the way you conceive him in your mind
We were made to know that he exists in a particular place
A scary and dark far place:
The devil is nowhere but in and around us

There's no devil anywhere.
The only devil that exists is the one in us
We are the real devil. Our acts are the manifestation of the real devil
How else do you want to quantify man that kill others for selfish gain?

To be continued.

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 c...

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 perhap...

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 viabil...
