This picture still rings in my heart. It was taken in the quality control laboratory of a cocoa processing company during my Industrial Training days. The young man in the white coat, hair net, and face mask, that is me. Standing before a Near-Infrared Reflectance Analyser. Looking very serious, very official, very like somebody who knew what he was doing. 😄 The machine was remarkable. A cocoa…

My jeans went crazy today. Or perhaps I should say I wore crazy jeans. Anyone who saw me between Ojota and Ikeja can testify. After several days of travelling, I was finally enjoying the weekend with my family when an urgent call came in. I had to rush to the office. My assignment was simple: uninstall a device. The power socket was located on the lower part of the device, which meant I had…

A friend gave me these fresh cobs of maize a few weeks ago. Somehow, after removing the husks, we forgot them inside a sack. Recently, while working in the kitchen, I found them again. Life had begun to emerge. Tiny shoots were pushing out, eager to grow. But the sack offered no soil, no sunlight, no room for roots. The potential was there, yet the environment would not allow it to flourish. As…

When Spain lifted the World Cup, Nico Williams didn’t hold tightly to his winner’s medal. Instead, he walked to the stands and placed it around his mother’s neck. It was a simple gesture, yet it spoke louder than any victory celebration. To the world, it was his medal. To Nico, it was the rightful reward for a journey that began long before he ever kicked a football. Behind that emotional moment…

(Based on Revelation 22:5a, AMP) The nations of the world do not joke with electricity. They invest billions of dollars in hydroelectric dams, nuclear power plants, and massive solar farms. From the Noor Ouarzazate Solar Complex in Morocco, which powers over a million homes, to Plant Vogtle in Georgia, one of the largest nuclear power stations in the United States, governments spare no expense…

Recently, I went to send a waybill at Ojota Park, and since I was already out, I wanted to use one stone to kill two birds. 🐦🐦I stopped at a mallam to fix my damaged watch wristband. ⌚️ When he told me the price, I quietly collected the band, pocketed it, and went my way.

I had gone to Mile 12 Market to buy a few things. And if you know Mile 12, you know it can be completely overwhelming. Later that evening, we finished cooking all the soup and were ready to pack it into the freezer. But there was a snag: There was nothing to eat the soup with. Imagine that! What readily came to mind was eba, but gàárì ti tán — the garri was finished. Then, shortly after, a…

I didn’t put a first aid box in my car because of the fear of law enforcement officers. I put it there because of those who could get injured on the road. The last time my vehicle papers expired, I made sure I renewed them promptly. I don’t like being harassed before doing the needful. My first aid box is always intact too. One particular evening, as I set out for my night duty at the factory,…

Last Saturday, I was scheduled to attend a virtual conference on AI Mission and The Great Commission. After hours of preparation, I first stopped by an estate association meeting that morning. I left more troubled than I came. The Chairman gave a candid report on our finances—the realities on ground. On several occasions, he had dipped into his personal funds to keep things running, with the…

What manner of love! There is a love ❤️ I love to behold,There is a love I long to peer into.I want to behold its depth,Possibly its width and height too. Imagine this: President Trump adopts me—a boy from Saki—as his son!Wow! It would be worth celebrating! 🍾✨Wouldn’t it?! But the love I’m talking about is far beyond that! It is the Creator of the universe who calls me His son.Perhaps He…

Whatever is new will one day become old. Likewise, anything that is old must have been new at a particular time. However, no matter the state of a thing, it will always have a peculiar use. Jeremiah had been thrown into a dungeon by the people, with the king’s consent. It wasn’t just any dungeon; it was a miry pit, sinking with clay. An unpalatable, life-threatening situation. Thank God for the…

Luke 8:23a – “But as they sailed he fell asleep…” (KJV) Jesus had been active all day. He had raised the widow’s son back to life, taught the parable of the sower, and engaged in countless other preaching and ministry assignments. He had every reason to be tired, every right to rest. So as soon as they set sail, He fell asleep.Here was a man who had done His work while it was yet day. He…
