…that all may be treated with the dignity of humanity… Contemporary Nigerian society appears to be chaotic. Citizens believe it’s a dog-eat-dog world.

“Over the others, over my pride Over the faults/flaws, I have in my life I Choose You, I Choose You, I Choose You” – Ryan Leslie The words above are from one on my favourite musicians. I was (don’t know if I still am) a firm believer in those words. To me, love is a […]

Prov. 4. 23 “Guard Your heart with all diligence for out of it comes issues of life” “Access! Access!! Access!!!” I can hear myself talking to her. She complains but then she always does.
