Nigerian youths and its future!!!

I was in a gathering of youths sometime this year when a man in his 50’s was addressing us, he made a statement that turns me on, he said “I know my generation has failed Nigeria, but I believe in your generation to restore and rebuild this nation”.

The question that came to my mind was that in the next 50 to 60 years wont I be making the same statement. I decided that I won’t make the statement even in 100 years to come, because I also believe in my generation. 

Some weeks later I was in my Place of Primary Assignment (PPA), where I served as a youth corp member, when I overheard a conversation going on among the so called Nigerian Youths serving their Father land.

A lady spoke and said “Even if my children are as brilliant as Isaac Newton, they must write there exams in Special centers” all because she did her WAEC three times before making the required 5 credit.

A guy also contributed and said “Nigeria is a fertile land flowing with milk and honey, and it will be better to get your milk and honey directly from the source” I asked him, where is the source? He replied “Any political post in Nigeria is the source, our leaders fourth generation can never be poor again, so I will go there and build wealth for myself and my generations, chop and go”

Come to think of it, the truth is our leaders are serving themselves and their generation, building wealth and fame, buying landed properties in Dubai, private jet and sending their wards abroad to study with a guaranteed job when they come back in the pool of unemployment that have swallowed Nigerian graduate.

But, I BELIEVE in a better Nigeria, where Nigerian youths will not only believe in their potential, but actualize their potential, build a better character in the midst of this moral decadence that has enveloped our nation and stand for integrity in the place of building wealth.

Nigerian youths must not only understand and implement the principles of leadership but also make a commitment to become established in character, adhering to a strong code of ethics. Then we must continually grow in the development of our character, so that we can have a positive and lasting impact on our generation and generations to come.

Being in LOVE without Making LOVE

Romance is a very good thing. But just because its good doesn’t mean that we can enjoy it whenever and however we please. Like all other good gifts God has made, romantic love can be misused. Solomon’s bride says “do not awaken or arouse love until it is so desire”.

ROMANCE Vs WISDOM

1.       Romance says, “I want it now! Wisdom urges patience”

Biggest mistakes in relationships were almost all the result of impatience. It takes patience to wait to start a relationship until you are ready to court with purpose. Then after you’ve started a purposeful relationship, you will need patience to make sure it unfolds at a Healthy pace. Impatience rushes everything. It urges us to skip the time and attention a healthy friendship requires and to jump right into emotional and physical intimacy. Time is Gods way of keeping everything from happening all at once. Wisdom calls us to slow down.

2.       Romance says, “this is what I want and it’s good for me.” Wisdom leads us to consider what’s best for the other person.

A selfless desire to do what’s best for the other person can guide us in the big and small decisions of a relationship. It’s not tedious. It’s an expression of sincere love and the defining mark of a Godly relationship. Do to others as you would have them do to you. Ask yourself some personal and sincere questions before you act.

3.       Romance says, “Enjoy the fantasy.” Wisdom calls us to base our emotions and perceptions in reality.

It’s not good to have zeal without knowledge; it’s a one-line summary of Shakespeare’s tragic play Romeo and Juliet and for many misguided romances in real life.

Emotion is a physical expression of how we perceive the status of something we value. Anger, gladness, fear, sadness, joy, jealousy, and hatred are all combinations of our perception and our values. For example two bystanders who witness a dog being hit by a car can experience totally different emotions based on how they perceive the situation and how they value the dog. One who hates dogs might be wickedly glad, while the other person who owns and loves the dog would be overcome with sadness.

In a relationship, if our values are godly and our perception of what we value is accurate, our emotions will be accurate and healthy.

Wisdom calls us to base feelings on accurate information, not on distortions. We need to move beyond typical, artificial dating activities and observe each other in real life settings.

The pleasure of illicit sex—yes, it will feel good; yes it can be exciting. But its pleasure is empty compared to the joys of married love and foolish in light of the dire consequences that visit the soul, body, and emotions.

In relationship, guarding each other’s purity and refraining from sexual intimacy are the acts of lovemaking………. Lust is never satisfied, you can’t bargain with it and come out a winner.

YOU CAN BE IN LOVE WITHOUT MAKING LOVE.

Jewel of Inestimable Value

Why are you crying, a young boy asked his mom? “ because am a woman” she told him.

 “I don’t understand” he said

His mum just hugged him and said “and you never will, but that’s o.k”

Later the boy asked his father, “why does mum seem to cry for no reason?”

“all women cry for no reason” was all his dad could say.

The little boy grew up and became a man, still wondering why women cry. Finally he put in a call to God and when God got back to him,he asked,

“God, why do women cry so easily?” God answered… “When I made women, I decided she had to be special.

I made her shoulders strong to be able to carry the weight of the world, yet, made her arms gentle enough to give comfort.

I gave her the inner strenght to endure child birth and the rejection that will come many times from her own children.

I gave her hardness that allows her to keep going and take care of her family and friends, even when everyone else gives up,through sickness and fatigue without complaining…

I gave her inner strength and sensitivity to love her children under any and all circumstances, even when her child has hurt her badly…

SHE HAS THE SPECIAL POWER to make a child’s boo boo feel better and to quell a teenager’s anxiety and fears

I gave her strength to care for her husband, despite faults and I fashioned her from his rib to protect his heart.

I gave her wisdom to know that a good husband never hurts his wife, but sometimes tests her strength and her resolve to stand beside him unfalteringly.

 For all this hard work, I also gave her a tear to shed. It is hers to use whenever needed and, it is her only weaknes….

When you see her cry, tell her how much you love her, and all she does for everyone, and even though she may still cry, you would have made her heart feel good.

She is special

To all men, love your sisters, wife and mother. 

Living a life of value

The soul aim of life is to add value to yourself and to add value to your neighbour. Value is the degree of importance you add to something. What is the degree of importance you are adding to yourself? What is the degree of importance you are adding to your neighbour? When you add value to yourself, you create influence but when you add value to your neighbour you are influential.
When you are always in search of knowledge, then you are adding value to yourself, and when you impact the knowledge you acquire on people you are adding value to them. Live a life full of value, add value to others and you will be celebrated.
