A Little Prayer

God, I'm very thankful for all the experiences of life that You have taken me through. I just want to communicate with God right now with this my little prayer.

 

I'm really bless because God has not forsaken me in an condition and I'm indebted to Him for this.

 

Please join me as I say my little prayer.

 

Dear God;

Please give me the grace to fulfil Your will;

Give me the courage to be trustworthy;

Enhance me with Your wisdom;

Give me the spirit and energy to be successful;

Lord, give me the opportunity to be fulfilled and contented;

Thank you Lord for the gift of FREEDOM

Good health and sound mind;

For the good food and wonderful people You surrounded me with;

Thank you my dear God for being very glorious.

 

Amen!!!!!!

 

I'm in the praying mode, I guess you can look back at your journey and also say your own little prayers.

 

As you also pray, I say Amen because I know He's watching over you. The One that watches over us never sleeps or slumbers.

 

So,no matter what the journey is like, stay focus and hold on to your faith.

 

God bless our souls, Amen!

 

High Standards In Relationships

"I Have High Standards" Is Good For A Relationship

"I have high standards" is often believed to be an excuse for why someone cannot find a partner and is not in a relationship. But maybe "I have high standards" should be a requirement for all relationships.

I believe our expectations of others, including our partners, has gotten too low -- we accept, compromise, and settle when we shouldn't.

We attract and get the behavior from others that we accept. Let's set our standards high and raise the expectation of appropriate behavior in our lives. We all benefit from having to rise to higher standards.

By Kurt Smith

 

I love this, I think everyone in relationship should use this as guide.

The Rotten Generation

 

Hello people I'm sorry this is coming a bit late, it's just a slow moving wheel trying to clog my movements. From court to jail, I'll give you the details of my five days journey to Kirikiri "The  Federal Republic of Freedom."

 Just check back on the blog to see the beautiful, the ugly and gory sides of Kirikiri.

Now to this gist I've to tell you, let get down to d'affaire du jour.

How can you total blame professor Wole Soyinka for calling my generation a wasted one, when the level of indiscipline among the youth is worst than what the older generations currently  display.

In the past few days I've witnessed what will make me not agree more with the professor that we are all in terrible mess especially within my generation and the ones after mine.

My mind has not rested since these events that I'm about to relay to you.

I'm so troubled that I'm wondering why the current political shenanigans will not be right when we accused them of their sit-tight rule attitude and they will gladly tell whoever cares to listen that mine generations lack leadership qualities and that we are worse off than them.

 They said they can't in any way trust us with power. Do you blame them, huuuuh!!!!!!

I was in one of the banks around my office on the first Tuesday after the just concluded Easter holiday, the queue was long and pressure on the cashiers was hectic.

Just as we queued for us to take our turns to be attended to, a young man said he was not ready to queue because he needed to pay his money in at least 25 minutes and leave the bank.

A young man just of his age was bold enough to tell him that if we truly want Nigeria to be good and Nigerians to be taken serious by the outside world, the youth must be to be the engine of change. I never knew I've not heard the worse from the un-repentance young lad who proudly said Nigeria is destroy and he's not ready to be an apostle of change. He said if he's giving the opportunity of leadership tomorrow he will not only go there to loot the national treasury but he will also take national cake for his three generations.

I was shamed for his uncivilized utterances, in that shame I left the banking hall after my transaction without any comment. I guess I was too dismal to any word. But the thought of the scenarios was in my head for many days.

Where’s the responsibility of trust, I guess this young man is a fresh graduate who will probably be scouting for an employment in a financial house. His guarantors must better watch their backs. #just a warning!

My Best Quotes from Iron Lady

 

Margaret Hilda Thacher (Baroness Thatcher) was widely known with her sobriquet "THE IRON LADY" which was given to her by a soviet journalist. She was the United Kingdom's Prime Minister and was the first and the only woman to have held the post.

 

She became popular with her uncompromising politics and leadership style, the style which was known as Thatcherism.

 

I'm looking at a woman who has changed the world politics and also defined the role of women as  a wife and administrator.

 
Below, I share some of her many quotes that I love.
 

"What is success? I think it is a mixture of having a flair for the thing that you are doing;

knowing that it is not enough, that you have got to have hard work

 and a certain sense of purpose."

 

"Disciplining yourself to do what you know is right and important,

although difficult, is the highroad to pride, self-esteem,

 and personal satisfaction."

 

"If you want something said, ask a man;

if you want something done,

ask a woman."

"I just owe everything o m y father and it's passionately interesting for the things that

I learnt in a small town, in a very modest home,

are the things that I have won the election."

 

"If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared

to compromise  on anything at any time,

and you would achieve nothing."

"I usually make up my mind

about a man in ten seconds, and

I very rarely change it."

"There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty."
 

Baroness Thatcher passed on at the age of 87 on April 8, 2013 in London after suffering a stroke. Lord Bell, Thatcher's spokesman, confirmed her death.

 

Rest in peace Margaret Thatcher.

A Date With The Reuters



Angela Ukomadu and my humble self

@katchysangel @gidi_traffic am game

Image a tweet like this one on April first, the day fools reign. Believing anything from a friend on an April fool is at your own peril not to talk of a word from a complete stranger on twitter.

 

However, now I have a friend in Angela my new Gidi-friend.

 

Angela replied me just after my initial reply and voila we made arrangements on how we are going to set the ball rolling for me to talk about our almighty gidi_traffic because the  person behind the handle refuse to show his face and he does not want to grant any interview. -Gidi_taffic is our Lagbaja of social media but Angie, don't worry I will get the prayer warriors to get into prayer session that will make Gidi change his/her mind about it.

 

It all started like any other day on twitter, my addiction to gidi_traffic is second to none because with this twitter handle there are no dull moments as you get your traffic updates reading through all sorts of funny questions and responses from tweeps.

 

From my conversation with Angela, I later found out she is a stringer with the Reuters.

 

I did a story on Gidi-traffic earlier on the blog if you miss it, oh never late click Gidi_traffic.
