The world is moving fast. Every day we wake up to new innovations that are destined to change the world. These innovations are spreading across the globe. One of the major secrets to the success of many developed worlds today is that they involved their children in the country's development and made them be acquainted with the country's system of government and other aspects of life and leadership. This is because of the realization that children of today are the leaders of tomorrow. And as such, their children don't only carry on with their good legacy, but they always turn out to be and do better than their fathers. It is important that African leaders should, as a matter of necessity carry African children along in all areas of national development; which is the antidote to remaining backward and underdeveloped in this modern dispensation. Involving children in African leadership African children should be involved in all the factors or sectors that constitut...

"...You will always have the poor among you..." (Matthew 26:11) Jesus told Judas Iscariot. Poverty is not only a lack of material things. There are other areas one can be poor. There is the poverty of the mind (lack of education), poverty of health (sickness), poverty of the being (deformation or handicap) and of course, poverty of wealth. All these various levels or states of poverty should not be a reason to deprive one's respect. No one is perfect, even though everyone wants to be perfect. No matter how poor someone may be, there is a potential and sometimes, there are potentials the Lord has vested in him. Even if one is not educated or very educated, there are things God has put in him that makes him unique. And no matter how sickly or deformed one is, he has potentials. However, should anyone exist without any of these values, he is still the image and creation of God Almighty. Since in our weaknesses we still have God's potentials in us, which can affect ot...

 "Till I Met Him" Lonely in the valley of rejection Disdained in the eyes of the royalties Inferior to the hearts of the seemed superiors Fed up with friends Who only worsened the pains for trust I made them true friends But to them, I am a means to an achievement I am honest to them But they play games on me I laughed and smiled with them because I care But smiles and laughter cloth their faces when they need a favor to ask of me I was hurt till I give up trust There is nothing like a true friend I believed Fed up with life worth living in love- true love But I met Him And I smiled in silence Till I laughed in open He is more than a true friend He smiles with me Laughs in sincere joy with me He praises my well-doing And corrects in love my wrongdoing He is hurt with my hurt Takes pleasure in giving me a helping hand in times of need His love and care are beyond my merit He had appeased my soul of the millions hurts of the past He worth more...

Irrespective of the political and other leadership corruption in Nigeria, Nigeria has strived in the area of morals and some level of the fear of God. This can be seen in her effort to reject gay marriage or relationships (homosexuality and lesbianism) and rejection of the motion to scrap out religious studies in the educational system of Nigeria. Before now, natural and manmade disasters were stories and strange phenomena in Nigeria. Though there was the presence of robbery or armed robbery, theft, money laundry, kidnapping, and ritual; but terrorist attacks and bomb explosions were not common in Nigeria before now. Today, bomb explosions, terrorist attacks, murder, and a high rate of kidnapping have become the order of the day. Flood is becoming common in Nigeria; a good number of different kinds of deadly and contagious diseases often hit Nigeria claiming lives and properties. Suffering, poverty, and chronic hunger that face Nigerians on a daily basis have been blamed on recession ...

What Nigeria as a nation needs now is prayer for Divine intervention. A lot has happened in the nation and a lot is still happening. The kind of prayer that Nigeria needs is the sincere kind of prayer that saved her from  falling, dividing and that aid the preservation of many lives and properties which would have been destroyed during or after 2015 general election. The atmosphere was full of fear, lives were seriously in danger and tensions were very high. However, the sincere prayer of the righteous, made  God to disapoint Satan, those planing the fall or division of Nigeria and those armed and ready to destroy the lives and properties of Nigerians, especially, the weak and the poor. It has come again the atmosphere of fear, lives are in danger, the atmosphere highly tensed up, therefore, another since prayer for God's intervention is seriously needed. The Bible said that, "Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain. Unless the Lord watches over the ...

Stumbling Block for Art Students. Some things appear logical, professional and the right thing to do. However, these things that appear logical, professional and the right thing to do, most times turn out to become error, unnecessary, and a big stumbling block to the success of people, state, or nation. I have tried to balance the relationship between Mathematics and art students, especially at the secondary school level for a long period of time, but each time I try to do that, I discover that both are in a parallel line and cannot meet. They are like placing two contradictory ideas in the same line of a poem, story, or sentence.  I so much agree with the secondary school system which exposes students in senior secondary school one (SSS1) to all senior secondary school subjects, which include both science and art subjects. However, I do not see the reason why science subjects; especially Mathematics, should be made compulsory for art students who have very little or no need or use...

After the death of Jesus, the Sanhedrin (Council of the Jews) led by the High Priest, were relieved. They thought that everything about Jesus and His disciples was over and forgotten, just like every other "claimed Messiah" that came before Him. In the first place, the person and the ministry of Christ shook them a lot. They were afraid to loose the people to His ministry. They were highly disturbed that they were going to loose their value and respect before the people, which they believed that Jesus and His ministry would cause them. In fact, they did everything possible to ensure that the people will never believe in Jesus as Christ or Messiah. This was why they were very happy to hand Jesus over to Pontus Pilate to be crucified. When Jesus was on the cross, it was like a dream come through for them, "Finally, we will regain our glory, the peoples' trust, fear and respect", they believed. In the midst of this relief, they realized that Jesus said He would ...
