As I went through my online platform today, the news was every where. It was trending and lots of stuffs were said about this icon that has passed through the last phase of life's tunnel into the world beyond. He was Muhammed Ali also nicknamed THE GREATEST. He at the early hours of June 3rd 2016, haven suffered respiratory illness, complicated by Parkinson's disease departed this world. He was aged 74 years.
Ali M would be remembered for his boxing skills and great quotes. He won 56 of his 61 fights and there has not being another like him. He was an icon to be reckoned with. Life teaches us that whatever we find doing, must be done with the utmost desire from us to be the best.
Your life after a job, career or permanent exist should be a referral to others. If you are not making an impact where you are, it's never too late to start.
Below are his famous quotes as coined form LinkedIn as posted by "Christopher Schroeder".
1. I know where I am going and I know the truth and don't have to be what you want me to be. I am free to be what I want .
2. I should be a postage stamp. That's the only way i will ever get licked.
3. What you are thinking is what you are becoming.
4. Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they have been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact, it's an opinion. It is not a declaration, it's a dare. Impossible is potential. Its temporary. It's nothing.
5. He who is not courageous enough to take risks will accomplish nothing in life.
6. Champions aren't made in gyms, they are made from something they have deep inside them.
7. It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wears you out, it's the pebble in your shoe.
8. Don't count the days, make the days count.
9. Friendship is the hardest thing in the world to explain. It is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship , you really haven't learnt anything .
10. Service to others is the rent you pay for your room here on earth.
Adieu THE GREATEST.

Happy children's day!!!!
I woke up this morning full of life and happy and I really could not explain why, then I remembered that today is children's day by the continuous jingles and songs coming from the TV.
At about 1pm, I decided to go give myself a treat and was taken aback by the number of children I found at the fast food I visited. After much "excuse me" i was able to find a space at the extreme of the place and I fed my eyes for some time.
Oh my! Children would always be children. I laughed , giggle and almost jumped out of my seat at their activities. Parents making sure their children had fun were seen everywhere while a school brought some students and gave them a treat.
I was quite impressed at steps taken by parents and guardians to ensure their children had a special day. The management of the place gave out free snacks and Ice cream to any child that came to the place. A lot of less privileged children had free ice cream and snacks and you can see them in their numbers expentant and very happy. Am sure most of them have not had such opportunities before to enter this fast food .
Also, an artist by a corner was giving the children beautiful shapes on their faces to mark the day, while some were busy watching cartoons. It was quite a site to behold as children from different religions came to enjoy themselves.
These and much more are what we as individuals are supposed to do to ensure our children are happy especially on a day set aside for them. We need to keep protecting them from the visititude of life. Shield them from crime, violence and child abuse and show them much love.
We need these children to grow into responsible adults who would be able to take over from the next generation . We need them intact. So let's protect and pray for our children.
Happy children's day.

Don't give up
Have you sat down and thought why people think without them you won't survive. Well I know a lot of people who have given up on life because someone out there you once trusted disappointed you. Some have even thrown in the towel believing there is no way out.
My question to them is have you forgotten when the bible said "do not put your trust in man or princes but in God". Well I don't think the writer of that portion in the bible made a mistake.
God most times uses men to bless other man but when he sees the glory due to him is being diverted,he steps in because he is too jealous a God to share his glory with man. Never for once think your life has ended when that person failed you or threw you out to no where. If the birds of the air don't struggle to eat and survive and the flowers we see today and tomorrow is withered, is clothed in beautiful colours don't struggle to be, do you think God would not make a way for you.
The scriptures said he would cause waters to flow in your desert. No matter what represent "a desert" around you, he would always make a way.
So dearest, don't give up, help is on the way just look up to God.

Would it get better?
A young man asked me how he can add extra cash to his account as he is new to the town. I read a story out to him and concluded by saying the answers you seek are everywhere and he responded with the word www.smart.com I could not help but laugh.
In this era of economic down time, increase in fuel price, scarcity of tomatoes, incesant killings by herds men and other menance plunging the economy, one has to stop and take a critical look at all that is happening. A lot of people are groaning to the struggling pains they feel. But the truth be told, no matter how much we complain, our economy can not be any better than it is. We just need to adjust and believe God to provide enough for us to live above it. So dear friends, are you wondering when would all this "sufferings" end or when would the country get better? Well I have news for you, it would only get worse by the day so you need to constantly tell your self that and tune to God almighty to grant you the enabling capacity to overcome whatever obstacles the economy throws at you because that's the only way out.

Yeepee it's Feb 29th
Oh my God did I almost miss blogging today being Feb 29th ? Nahhh. Anyways how are you darlings and happy February 29th.
Every four years is a leap year according to calendar readings and this is signified by the extra 24 hours added to the year and this extra day is found in February . Most February ends with with 28days but on unique years like 2016 it ends with 29days .
A lot of prophecies , speculations and all what not is said about this unique day.
Some say its the only time of the year were ladies are allowed to propose to a man (lol), some it's a special gift from God to do something extra since he gave us an extra 24 hours , while others see it from d spiritual angle it being a year of many deaths, doom and prosperity. The football world sees it as a time to play and watch world cup and some a time to upgrade.
Whatever believe you have about the leap year, I choose to see it from the positive side of life. It's a year of jubilee for as many that are held captive, of New levels in all spheres of life and unprecedented increase.
As you bid good bye to Feb 29th 2016, always remember to be grateful to almighty God because the next leap year is in 4 years time.
Catch yah

Valentine- the joy and pains
Tomorrow is Valentine's day and a whole lot of lovers are looking up to it. It's not because they don't celebrate love on a daily basis, the day just makes love shared between two lovers very special.
Going round saloons, gift shops, resturants, bars and boutique indicates ladies and gents are not taking the day for granted as everyone who has someone to share love with wants to look and be their best. The beauty of this year's Val day is that it's happening on a Sunday. A lot of memes have being created showing how guys would try to boycot their girl friends/fiancee/wives all in the name of being busy at church . Loooolll.
As the day brings joy and excitement amongst some people, others are hurting
This period if census is to be taken has the highest number of break ups as a lot of unfaithful partners would want to break up with the less significant ones in their lives to be with their most significant partners. This i believe is heartless of a person to do with who ever they once professed love to.
Well to the lucky ones who have their partners by their sides come tomorrow, happy Valentine's day to you both. Pls if you are not married, don't do it. Tie your legs like a mermaid" side eyes to anyone planning to fornicate " .
To all the sweet heart out there, male or female without a boo or bea, please don't feel alone not having a val . There are 1000 of you out there not having and as I put up in my display picture an inscription I found online, "don't feel bad if on Valentine's day you do not have a Valentine because people celebrate Aids day without having Aids. So dearies relax. It's not the end of the world. Better days are ahead.
Happy vals day visitors. Kisses to you.

Heart cries 5
I had being interviewing quite a number of people for a position on behalf of an organisation and since I started on Monday I have being lamenting about our educational system.
An applicant parading him or her self as a graduate cannot express themselves or even write a simple application letter; when they eventually write the letter, there are a lot of errors in their spellings and some can't even write well. Hmmmm. It's so pathetic.
I kept asking myself how they were able to graduate from the university when they cannot construct a simple sentence. Some even think their carriage or beauty can fetch them jobs.
I sincerely wish something is done about our educational system so we don't loose sight of the quality of graduates we produce, all in the name of ensuring a large number graduate from school every year.
I believe everyone out there can do something extra to enhance their writing and speaking skills before we groom a generation that can't coordinate themselves intellectually and as a colleague said today, "I won't pamper my children when it comes to their education. They have to be very good and prove they merited a new class before they are allowed to move to that next class". We must study to show our selves approved; so says the bible.
We have so many half baked lawyers, accountants, doctors, etc out there and it's only a matter of time before we realise a state of emergency should be called for our educational system.
It's such a pity......."very sad"
