  IT'S A MINUS Writtwn By Michael Chidiebere Ituma At 2:43 AM when I'm supposed to be dozing in bed I'm awake, musing over this thing and feeling so much pity for the people you call loved ones.  . . I'm not concerned because it is my problem nor am I concerned because it is my life. From all indications, the life is legitimately yours and no one has the right to own it, to live it but you.  . . But you see brother. It's a minus for you to want to live your youthfulness to the extreme, exploring this negative thing, and exploring that mischievous behaviour.  . . It is a minus, sister, for you to want to live the full episode of your youthful life digging beyond the limits of the grounds upon which you stand, the grounds that will soon collapse.  . . It is such a minus to decide that all you want to do is smoke your life to disaster. Such a minus to want to live your youthfulness as a chain smoker.  . . It is a minus to decide that all you want to do in life...

 Written By Efut Joseph THE DEVOUT LEADER Many pray for the power of gods. More every year. Those prayers sound powerful, sincere,godly, and without ulterior motive. Hidden under such prayer and fervor, however, are ambition, a craving for fame,the desire to be considered a spiritual giant. The person who prays such a prayer may not even know it,but dark motives and desires are in his heart..in your heart. Even as people pray these prayers,they are hollow inside. There is little internal spiritual growth. Prayer for power is the quick and the short way,circumnavigating internal growth. There is a vast difference between the outward clothing of the spirit's power and the inward filling of the spirit's life. In the first, despite the power, the hidden man of the heart may remain unchanged. In the latter, that monster is dealt with. Interesting about God. He hears all those requests for power, which fervent young men and women pray(in every generation), and He answers them! Very o...

  DON'T HELP YET Written By Chinwendu Nneamaka I stood at the junction, waiting to board a tricycle (Keke) to get home. The pressure of the sun had written on my forehead; tiredness, hunger, and eagerness to embrace my bed. After such a long day, I deep sleep and Mum would call my name later to ensure I'm spirit present. . . "Good evening Aunty." The voice came from behind. It was a young man begging for ₦200 to buy bread. According to him, he'd stayed unemployed after graduation because of his condition and he's still hoping to get money to learn a skill. . . I looked at him for a while, running in my head the difference between a man in need and one out to defraud me. I've heard stories of people begging and scamming people, I just wanted to be careful. . . "Where are you from?" I asked. He answered shyly, crouching his head to resist eye contact. Perhaps, he didn't want to beg. I felt pity for him. For a young man to assemble this courage ...

  ```There was a time when all you needed to succeed was the ability to read and write English. After that came the era of university degree. In fact, you had the chances of getting a good job with a good salary. Then came the era of Masters and PhD. The demands of the Labour market went higher. You had to have a masters or PhD to get a good job. Before long it became the era of foreign degrees... employers started looking for people from foreign universities. Now that era has ended: We are now in the era of skills. What you know and what you can do with your brain or your hands. Your level of education notwithstanding; what matters right now is the skills that you have especially new age/digital skills. So I Ask You, What Are You Doing To Remain Relevant In This Season?  Are you still carrying your certificate up and down with obsolete knowledge?  Or you are still blaming the government that is not even aware of your existence? Do you even understand that "WORK" as we kn...

  Written By Chioma Ume PATIENCE  Patience is a virtue but it is not always easy. It is one of the fruit of the holy spirit. It is the ability to endure difficult circumstances such as perseverance in the face of delay, tolerance of provocation without responding in anger or forbearance  when faced with longer-term  difficulties. Patience is not simply the ability to wait. It's how we behave while we are waiting ( Joyce meyer). Patience with others is love .  Patience  with self is Hope. Patience  with God is Faith. Galatians 6 : 9 ( And let us not be weary in well doing for in due season, we shall reap, if we faint not). Success in any area of your life requires that you act patiently. A tree does not grow and bear fruits overnight. Everything needs time to grow. Impatient breeds anxiety, fear, discouragement  and failure, but patience  creates  Confidence, decisiveness and a rational  outlook  that will lead to success. A mom...
