A WISE MAN ONCE SAID

1. Don’t call someone more than twice continuously. If they don’t pick up your call, presume they have something important to attend to;

2. Return money that you have borrowed even before the person that borrowed you remember or ask for it. It shows your integrity and character. Same goes with umbrellas, pens and lunch boxes.

3. Never order the expensive dish on the menu when someone is giving you a lunch/dinner.

4. Don’t ask awkward questions like ‘Oh so you aren’t married yet?’ Or ‘Don’t you have kids’ or ‘Why didn’t you buy a house?’ Or why don't you buy a car? For God’s sake it isn’t your problem;

5. Always open the door for the person coming behind you. It doesn’t matter if it is a guy or a girl, senior or junior. You don’t grow small by treating someone well in public;

6. If you take a taxi with a friend and he/she pays now, try paying next time;

7. Respect different shades of opinions. Remember what's 6 to you will appear 9 to someone facing you. Besides, second opinion is good for an alternative;

8. Never interrupt people talking. Allow them to pour it out. As they say, hear them all and filter them all;

9. If you tease someone, and they don’t seem to enjoy it, stop it and never do it again. It encourages one to do more and it shows how appreciative you're;

10. Say “thank you” when someone is helping you.

11. Praise publicly. Criticize privately;

12. There’s almost never a reason to comment on someone’s weight. Just say, “You look fantastic.” If they want to talk about losing weight, they will;

13. When someone shows you a photo on their phone, don’t swipe left or right. You never know what’s next;

14. If a colleague tells you they have a doctors' appointment, don’t ask what it’s for, just say "I hope you’re okay". Don’t put them in the uncomfortable position of having to tell you their personal illness. If they want you to know, they'll do so without your inquisitiveness;

15. Treat the cleaner with the same respect as the CEO. Nobody is impressed at how rude you can treat someone below you but people will notice if you treat them with respect;16. If a person is speaking directly to you, staring at your phone is rude;

17. Never give advice until you’re asked;

18. When meeting someone after a long time, unless they want to talk about it, don’t ask them their age and salary;19. Mind your business unless anything involves you directly - just stay out of it;

20. Remove your sunglasses if you are talking to anyone in the street. It is a sign of respect. More so, eye contact is as important as your speech; and

21. Never talk about your riches in the midst of the poor. Similarly, don't talk about your children in the midst of the barren.

22.After reading a good message try to say "Thanks for the message".

𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 '𝐒𝐄𝐗𝐘' 𝐀𝐍𝐎𝐓𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐎𝐍𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐈𝐃 '𝐓𝐀𝐗𝐈'

I was going home yesterday after delivery at the federal housing estate, Calabar. On my way home, I saw a lady standing beside the road half-naked. She said to me while pointing her finger to her opened breasts, 'Hello, Sexy'! I know she was saying her breasts are sexy. I looked at her and shook my head in pity for her. I moved on. As I walked a little distance from her, I got to a place (old odukpani road) where you have taxi drivers passing. I saw a lady driving a taxi car slowly, and dressed in a sporty way. She called to me and said, " Hello sir, Taxi? Meaning, she was asking me if I would like to take a taxi. I smiled at her and said sure and I quickly jumped inside the car with others passengers.  I also gave her a tump up and a look of ' Weldone, I am proud of you. While one lady was ready to offer her body for sex to get money, another was ready to work with her hands by driving people to their destination and earn money in a dignified way. It is a...

THE EXIT BUTTON

"Social media? Its just a space were people have fun when they're bored; to some, its a business place". Yes, that's true but you have to be very careful where you are; what you do and who you make friends with both online and offline. The devil and his agents are everywhere entering into every time and space, looking for empty vessel to fill and possess. And with social media, he is dragging and luring many young people to himself. Discipline yourself and stand guard at the door of your heart. Don't follow everyone blindly. Be selective. There are pages you shouldn't like, groups you shouldn't belong to, except you're there as an ambassador of Christ, doing what your father did in the house of a tax collector. "Its just for fun", they will tell you but there is a hidden agenda, a device by the devil to destroy young minds. The devil is everywhere and he's not there for fun. He is earnestly doing something dangerous to the souls of men. D...

TO ALL MY FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

1. Once upon a time I met a man who told me that telling the truth and making someone cry, is better than telling a lie and making someone smile and happy. 2. He said to me your true friends are those who will never avoid you just because they have met new friends. 3. As he kept on speaking to me, he said If some people do not appreciate and value my presence, I should work hard to make them value and appreciate my absence. 4. He said I must not be angry with anyone who is quiet on me because there must be a reason why they are quiet, and that I will get to know the reason later. 5. He told me it is always better to be a blessing to others at all times than to be a burden at all times. 6. He said I must learn to forgive others not because they deserve it but because I deserve the peace that comes with forgiveness. 7. I must know that everyone deserves a second chance and many more chances if they ask for forgiveness, but I must not loose my guard over their intentions....

PRAYER OF AGREEMENT IN MARRIAGE

One of the ways God has programmed speed to answered prayer in the realm of the spirit is through PRAYER OF AGREEMENT. The scripture says in Matthew 18:19 Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. It’s quite unfortunate that many married couples don’t take advantage of this blessing,and they begin to lament that their prayers are being delayed. The devil, very cunning a man knowing the ignorance of men decided to take advantage , He will ensure that husband and wife never pray together and agree together in oneness of heart ,its so unfortunate ,that is the reason things are slowed down in the realm of the spirit. It is either the husband wants to pray but the wife is not willing, or it is either the wife wants to pray but the husband is not willing. You will hear words like ‘’ continue I will join you , “ please don’t disturb me" "Akam ado utom ibaan” (It's a woman...

The Rise and Fall of AfroBeat

L Like any music genre, is influenced by a multitude of factors including cultural shifts, socio-political dynamics, and changes in artistic trends. Afrobeat, a genre that originated in West Africa in the late 1960s and was popularized by Nigerian musician Fela Kuti, experienced significant growth and international recognition during its peak in the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, Fela Kuti's revolutionary lyrics, infectious rhythms, and fusion of traditional African music with jazz, funk, and highlife elements resonated with audiences around the world. Afrobeat became not only a genre of music but also a symbol of resistance against oppression and a platform for social and political commentary. However, Afrobeat's popularity waned in the following decades due to various factors. One significant factor was Fela Kuti's death in 1997, which marked the end of an era and led to a decline in mainstream attention towards Afrobeat. Additionally, the rise of other music genres a...
