Quoting from Ephesians 5, Pope Francis of the Catholic Church, once spoke of ‘Speaking the truth with love’. When one looks at the prevailing circumstances in Nigeria, one is likely to wonder whether we as Nigerians know what the truths are. When you read through what our Social Media disseminate, it becomes difficult to separate…
The fastest journey ever is the journey with the one who knows the way; it helps to get to the destination on time. I strongly believe that destiny is spiritual and it can’t be decoded through human mental capacity. Destiny is encoded by God, to decode it, you need God. One of the reasons why…
Being kind goes beyond giving compliments to those around you, it starts with how you think and act towards others. Respect is the cornerstone of kindness, and can be demonstrated in small ways everyday.
