This is a question I don't know the answer to because it's so sad to see and experience corruption. This question stems from an enlightening discussion i had today with my husband and a brother! They opened my eyes to see that there is so much corruption in Nigeria that it has now become the normal way of life. It is also sad to say that being religious doesn't help in this matter because the very citizen that will collect bribe or dupe a person in business ventures will be speaking in tongues on Sunday or be a devout Muslim! How sad it is!!! 

In our discussion, they said it's so sad for people to actually do the right thing in a country like Nigeria and I believe this is the same for many other African countries. It's so bad that people that vow to follow the right path end up compromising one way or the other, in other for them to make a headway. So sad!!! There's a popular saying people always quote: 'If you can't beat them, join them'!

My question is for how long would we join them? Corruption has eaten so deep that I wonder if there's any hope! You will find corruption from the least to the top! How can there be a change? The effect of corruption has reached public sector, relationships, religious organisations etc. 

I believe corruption emanated from a dysfunction of the family. Good morals are sometimes taught but not modelled!!! Lying and deception has become the order of the day. 

You know what I discovered about all this? One should not expect much from a person that lives and breeds corruption because as they say 'bad company corrupts good manners' and whether we like it or not, we are products of our environment! 

If you live in a country where people are accountable and the government serves the people the way they should; you will have a different outlook from a person that comes from a country where there is so much injustice, violation of human rights, corruption, several killings of innocent children etc. 

So now, people from the later country, how can they retain a good moral standing so that this bad cycle will be stopped? If at all, there is a way out, I believe everyone needs to change and it'll start from the family unit! Please practise the good morals you preach and teach!!! It's not going to be easy but this is the only hope we have for a better future!

      Hi, welcome to 2017! It's our year of walking with the Lord, a year you seek God like never before. I believe it's a year we need to go back to the very basics of quality time of fellowship with God. It's a year to make every effort to draw close to God no matter what you're going through.   There's just one little advice we need to adhere to; pls keep king Jesus in your boat this year. There might be storm and heavy wind but Jesus will calm it all because these elements obey him. It's a pleasure to have you take time out to visit my blog.  In here, you'll read articles that are thought provoking and life changing if you're humble enough to learn. So remember to follow this blog so that you can be notified of any future posts. So sit back and invest in yourself as you browse through these pages! Enjoy!!!

What is your identity?

Hello there, this question popped up in my head while I was going through life journey. In this life many things define many people, things like money, family name and inheritance, marital status (does your marriage define you?) becoming a parent (does your children define who you are), the colour of your skin and on and on the list goes. The question is if you're stripped of all of these things, would you still have an identity?

Do men really know what they are getting themselves into when they say they want to get married?

Come on people, let's talk! You know while watching Bisi Olatilo show, I saw people dancing and celebrating as a man and a woman were joined together in holy matrimony! People congratulated them, they both danced and you know during the traditional engagement - they told the man to wave bye bye to all the single ladies! I wish that was easy as it looked!!!! Hmmm! You know from my own experience; if you've ever been privileged to do the traditional engagement you'll discover that everything you do there is symbolical of the virtues you need to embrace in marriage! Think about it! So back to the men - have you discovered that most marriage troubles stem from the man?
