What To Do When You Are Doing Nothing...

One of the most frustrating experiences one can have in life is to be alive and not active, i.e to be idle. It's a route that gradually leads to extinction and if care is not taken, you may lose touch of the realities that defines who you are or who you should be.
There are specific periods in the life cycle of a man that characterizes a season of inactivity, though sometimes seasons like this could come as a result of some external influences that can't be altered... For example, as an undergraduate there is nothing u can do  to a situation of an industrial action embarked upon by your school authorities or as a fresh graduate waiting for youth service corps can last for months and many other practical examples that has the same similitude to inactivity.
So what do you do in periods like this? Because in life you must come to terms with the reality of the fact that every passing second counts and you are accountable for every of those passing moments. I ve seen young men and women take charge of this periods to the greatest advantage. I discovered recently that a man can be dead and yet alive. Yes, that is so true and I know men and women who are a living reality of this. I have this strong notion that what to do when you are not doing anything is to to solely invest in the luxurious time you have to discover more about who you are. To identify problems that are particularly unsolved in the part of the divide you are in and train, equip yourself to to nurse and find solutions to those issues.
A man that is dead and yet alive is a man who has not discovered the true reason for his existence. The day you discover why you are truly born that is the day you start living. There are many walking corpse on the street of Lagos today, some are even riding big jeeps but not yet not living. Yours could be different. You can begin an adventure of fulfilment at a very young age, only if you will turn this period of inactivity to period of feeding your soul with the right nutrients needed for excellence. It's when you are loaded that you will be needed.
You see for everything in life, there is a time. I tell you, there is a time to sit and a time to stand. A time to wait and hide and a time to move out and manifest. This might be a period for you to learn. Learn about your emotions learn about finance, learn about leadership, you might need to learn a trade. It's a time to learn.
Why do we have many failures today in Africa? It's because many don't have the spare time to learn. That's why you would see top multinational companies organizing conferences and leadership training programs for there executives. This is good but tell me. What leadership virtue can someone learn and imbibe for may be a week or two??? They organize this programs because many of their employers need sufficient knowledge in handling issues that are key and vital to their growth as a firm. As good as this is, you don't need some sort of a crash program to build yourself. You can do that now.
Finally, every great man has this circle of inactivity, some call it the wilderness experience, where they learn the nittygritty of what their life is all about. This is a period when most great generals etch out their mission statement and inscribe permanently a vision they can run with for the rest of their life.
Don't trivialise this moment... Don't get fat physically alone get weighed also in building up your self, unraveling the mystery behind your existence. And hence very soon God Almighty will sponsor your showing forth. Note this, the school that precedes the faculty of greatness, is the school of learning and making. And it takes a teacher like discipline and patience to take you through. You will get to the topmost top.
God bless you

DEAR DARE TO BE YOURSELF WE live in a soceity that frequently over burdens an individual with demands of exhibiting character and behaviors that must be generally acceptable. Hence in this part of the world, our actions are always guided by the slogan " what will people say". Well as a free thinker, I think that has robbed my generation of the greatness inherent in it's uniqueness. Nowadays, men have become more superficial and no more being real. But come to think of it, all our DNA'S are totally different, what about our fingerprints, they are also different. GOD had created us so unique and dynamic so why do we rub ourselves of the beauty the Creator has deposited in us. THIS IS THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER 'CHECK GREAT MEN THAT HAVE MADE TREMENDOUS INPACT IN THE PAST THEY THRIVE ON ONLY ONE THING AND THAT IS THERE DYNAMIC ABILITY TO BE UNIQUE'. THIS IS THE PART TO FULFILMENT. HENCE DARE TO BE YOURSELF.

Identity

I discovered that men that solve problems don't age,people answer to them,financial and material wealth answers to them. They venture in the realm of excellence influence and relevance. It must interest us to know that A man's God given purpose in life is tied down to solving human problems. I believe that there is a problem only you and your person can solve in this world. Your identity is tied to problem that it's wired to solve. A man who doesn't ve a problem solving mentality will definitely be bereft of ideas. One important pointer that describes your identity is the type of ideas that comes to your mind because scriptures says has a man thinketh in his heart so is he. A pertinent question we must ask ourselves and definitely answer is, what problem am I created to solve in this earth sphere? Something should always define your living, something should always teleguard every of your direction in life. It will lead to a severe destiny autolysis if a man goes around life without having an understanding of what and who you are. One major priority we must seriously lay emphasis on at a very early stage of our life is answering the question what am I doing here on this side of the divide? One big problem I have found among men especially among religious folk, is that we confuse destiny wit career, we confuse purpose with certain priorities. Many believe that since they are engaged in activities that seems to attend to their financial needs they have the notion that destiny is been achieved. We must understand that when you have not unravel the mystery behind your identity its possible you substitute it in exchange for the pursuit of money. As important as money is in the life of a man, it doesn't guarantee fulfillment. It's in knowing your that purpose becomes real. Its because we don't set things right in the other of our lives that's why we experience frustration in certain areas in our lives. Many folks have gone on to take jobs without an understanding of their identity,many brothers have gone on to take the journey of marriage without understanding this reality of who they are, it not surprising that many of we youths ve gone on to take courses in the University without the lack this reality no wonder only few of us are fulfilled. Understanding who you are is pregnant statement with lot of offspring to bring forth. It would consciously unravel and answer questions of what you like, what you are passionate about, it awakes a sense of responsibility in you, it begins to sharpen your priorities and your direction in life. It helps you to cultivate a mission for our life. I know for sure that God married your person with an identity with a blue print and a pattern in which your life should be ordered. A man who is not yet awakened to what is identity is all about will begin a race to fill a void, a vacuum sort of. Such a man could go to the university hoping to fill this void, in fact he may take a career path to try to occupy this void with something tangible, even his marital life could be channelled towards fulfilling this void. This is why when we ask ourselves what we want in life,our response most of the time is that we want to be fulfilled. There is a chasm, a missing puzzle piece in the heart of man that puts him on a quest looking for something. Consciously or unconsciously we live our everyday life wanting to fill this void, wanting to be ' full-filled'. Friend, there is a path to fulfillment that I know, though many in the world might not agree with me on this but it is in intimacy with the Creator who created the a creature. I believe The Creator know every thing that even the created doesn't know about itself. The pathway to unlocking the multidimensional mysteries behind a man's identity is a spiritual path that involves directly engaging the One who is the Alpha and Omega, to lead you through the course of life. Friends it's a risk not worth taking if we go on about life guessing about what next instead of knowing exactly with a sure assurance of the next action to take. May the Lord grant understanding to our heart.

Ramblings in my mind.

My mind has a plethora of questions left unanswered as I embark on my journey in life. Permit me to apologise for the silence all this while.I had encountered both the best and worst moments in my life. In this my period of silence, I had succeeded and also failed, I had fallen and also risen but my little conclusion about life still remains that life is not worthy of living if you ve not discovered why God decided to put u on this side of d divide. In my successes I discovered that fulfilment is not a function of how much excellence you achieved but what good you ll be remembered for. I also discovered that you not the only one that can achieve such great feats but others can also, so in excellence humility is essential as records set can also be broken. In my many failures I found out that failure is the only abstract sincere and honest teacher that bluntly tells you your weaknesses and your shortcomings. So even in failure be humble enough to admit and be ready to be taught again the rudimentary and basic life teaching you once overlooked. The unique thing about great people is not that they don't fail but they are humble enough to admit and go down to learn so as not fail again. It's a new day and new opportunity to right every wrong... When there is a reason to live then great dreams can still be actualized, hope and believe can still propel the necessary strength needed to venture in the adventure of destiny. My candid advice to you is keep moving, even when you fall endure the pain and yet still advance. Its never too late until you ve no breath within you again. Thanks and God bless.

You must know very well that there are about 7 billion people on earth, with different dreams goals and ambitions. Every one seems to be up to something on this part of the divide. Especially here in Nigeria I am amazed at the number graduate will churn out of our universities every year and the truth is that yours sincerely, will soon be part of that number. But the question is how much versatility have I acquired, to withstand the rigorous demanding nature of the kind of world I live in. How strong am I to create my own unique world despite the competitive and challenging nature of my environment. These were the series of questions I pondered on through out my psyche while on an errand for my dad this day. Then all of a sudden I discovered that every man is in need of a direction to get to his or her goal, but not every one threads on the right path to the destination of their determined goal. And I can say categorically that, this is one of the major reason for chaos in the world today. The truth is do you have an understanding of the reason you exist on earth, and if yes do you know the right path that will lead to the actualization of that which you are destined for. Every man is a star but not every man radiates this hidden God-given potential, and this is simply because most of us behave as stars, a star would always connect to that which makes it shine and glow, so we can say the proportion to which it connects to the source of what makes it glistening briliantlly the less it shines. SO in a nutshell what gives it beauty and relavance is its source of light. So we must do as men we need to connect to our creator at all times to have a precise succint explanation for the reason why he allowed to be alive at this time an d to also know where we ought to fit in in this ambigous world.SO friend pls know your destiny in order to have a defined destination in life and so that you will live a live of relevance and not a stranded one. Till we meet again.

It's a beautiful day and it feels good to be alive again. For the past one year since I last posted, so many events had taking it toll in my life and it has one way or the other sharpened my personality and also influenced my perspective, well actually positively. But one lesson I would love you to learn is that, you don't know who you are yet until you are faced with circumstances and situations that difficult. The bottom line is, the truest essence of who you are is best reflected when you pass through deep waters of life, such as it's temptations trials afflictions and those other sides of life. Majorly I am putting together a book titled, "personal demons". It entails most of the lessons of life,that I came to the light of via my personal experiences, people's experiences around me and what the Spirit of God told me. Hope to post most of it in series. Bye for now.

ASUU AND THE CABALS. I HATE TO BARE MY MIND ON ISSUES LIKE THIS AS I FIND THEM AS A TOTAL SHARE WASTE OF TIME. BUT MY HANDS ARE ITCHING TO WRITE SPECULATIVELY ON THIS. BUT WHO IS TO BLAME ACTUALLY,AS I PONDER , I THINK THIS ISSUE ASSU IS DEALING WITH IS MORE OR LESS A CASE OF DIAGNOSING THE CASE INSTEAD OF THE CAUSE. WHAT ASUU IS FIGHTING FOR WILL IT ACTUALLY SOLVE THE MENACING PROBLEM OF UNEMPLOYMENT IN THE NIGERIAN LABOR MARKET, WILL IT PUT A STOP TO THE INDECENCY IN THE ATTITUDES OF OUR LECTURERS DISPOSITION TO THEIR ALMA MATTER AS REGARDING THE QUALITY OF SERVICE THEY OFFER IN THE CLASS ROOMS. TO BE CONTINUED I HAVE RUN OUT OF TIME......
