“Life can either be accepted or changed. If it is not accepted, it must be changed. If it cannot be changed, then it must be accepted.” It was a glorious and beautiful day. I woke up at 5.00am and got ready to go out by 5.30am. Actually, I didn’t sleep deep that night because one sentence kept reverberating in my head through the night Walk for...

There’s a passion burning deep within me for the development and emancipation of my country, Nigeria. I’ve been studying the Bible for a while now and I’ve been looking at Nehemiah and his exploits written in the...

My Trip to Ekiti

On the one side, it felt good to be in my state of origin again (I’ve been there a total of about 6 times in all); on the other, it felt exciting to be taking responsibility for the outcome of political leadership in the...
