BE OF GOOD CHEERS, I HAVE CONQUERED THE WORLD FOR YOU Skinnies Blog Update group Skinnies Blog Update group Apologies to those who might find it offensive that this post uses a biblical heading, but, for a fact, the world is filled with topsies-turvies that can shake your mind and your emotional well-being. Imagine how much faith we put into starting our small businesses only to see it crumble rather than yield incomes. Or shall I begin the endless list of failures encompasses in this flabbergasting life we find ourselves in. Sad! However, there is a biblical saying that seem to have been written against such event, so as to cheer us up. Skinnies Blog Update group One day, I met someone who told me he is hungry, and I jokingly replied that he was feeling the hunger because he is alive. Of a truth, a dead man does not feel hunger, do they? Can someone in coma even respond to the pangs associated with 'belly-rumble? Of course not. They are oblivious of it. Whi...

                          A PHONE CALL     Truly, if a man visits the market where Fright is traded as goods he will shudder like a baby. I am inarguably one of those many men that have once traded in such market; I thoroughly yielded to the whips of Fear. SKINNIES TALK HUB     I am Richard Eliot, a machine operator in a packaging company. Of course, I am married and blessed with three beautiful girls. Nonetheless, I still want a Ronaldo or a Michael Jackson. So, my wife is pregnant for the fourth time. I always carefully ensured the growth of my manly spirit until one humiliating Wednesday.      It was still morning, but it seemed that the sun was hesitant to show up in the sky. I was on a night shift that week, so I was at home trying to make up the sleep I had missed the previous night. My wife was not around; she had gone for her ante-natal check-up in a gov...

LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, DO GOOD TO THEM THAT HATE YOU! Skinnies Blog Update group In one of the teachings of Jesus Christ (known to Muslims as Prophet ʿĪsā عِيسَىٰ), said 'Love your enemies, do good to them that persecute you' and in another of His teachings said 'Love your neighbours as yourself' . Although there exist some dichotomies amongst all religions of the world, it is imperative that we know that we all have a central point of convergence: GOD! All religion, except some that doesn't agree to the existence of God, pray to the Most High deity; God! The message he: Jesus (Prophet ʿĪsā عِيسَىٰ) came to preach was love. And all religions of the world practice it to the best of their ability. A group of artiste (for Kings and Country) sang in one of their songs that '....No one ever wins, when the goal is to settle a score....' The truth is when everyone tries to be perfect, or be the 'right' one, everyone eventually neglect what is right...

BEFORE THE BATTLE OF THE FIST, COMES THE BATTLE OF THE MIND   Skinnies Blog Update group A high morale is needed for soldiers going to war. They need to be enthusiastic about what they're going to face. According to a writer, "A soldier fights, not because he hates what his in front of him, but because he loves what is behind him (what he is defending)". This simply means that in order to win, he needs to constantly remind himself that the battle is not about who he is fighting or what he is facing but about what he is trying to defend.   Skinnies Blog Update group According to Master Shifu, " Before the battle of the fist, comes the battle of the mind". When you don't believe in yourself or a cause you are working towards, then you will not make the success you're supposed to make. Last year, I had a friend operated on and while we were waiting for her to be discharged, an old lady on a bed beside us died. She didn't die fr...

Romans 12:2: * "Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing [rebirth, revival, upgrading] of your mind that you may prove the good, perfect and acceptable will of God." * 📍We proceed on the * Inside-Out Series *, as we still coordinate on the A-part of the above biblical passage, "Do not be conformed to this world." 📍 Today's publication is a continuation of the last, and subsequent publications will further on the subject matter. 📍 Carefully dissecting the biblical passage is an attempt to gain profitable insight on the Inside-Out Living. * So it's weekend, and it's review-time! * Spend your weekend answering these questions. You can practically write them down in a notebook and keep tab of paradigms around you. Have a great weekend! 🥳

Just a Dream! Click this link to join us on WhatsApp  Skinnies Update Just as a man would glue his calendar unto the wall, Obina and his accomplices were tightly tied to the brown oil drums which were standing even more gallantly than a well-trained military man, at the execution ground in the sunny Thursday's noon. Passers-by and onlookers took pity on him and his fellow crooks as they watched. Obina, a fair-complexioned budding man who was in his late teen years had lived most of his lifetimes miserably. The frowning look on his face was an enough proof that he never regretted any of his actions. As he stared at the firing squad who were awaiting the order to shoot, old memories flooded his mind just like stars do to the sky at night.  Click this link to join us on WhatsApp  Skinnies Update Obina thought of how he lost his parents in a road accident one Saturday's evening while returning from a relative's place. He was only ten years old then and was in Jss ...

     If you have never heard that your life is like an artwork, let me give you the gist. Artworks are of different forms, do not think only drawings are the only kind of artwork but even if they are, they sure fit into the analogy I am about to make.  A man begins a drawing one day, he starts by bringing out his canvas and every other necessary material for his drawing. This astonishing man has not drawn anything in his life before, but he is prepared to have the best drawing yet seen in the world.  You wonder how he intends to get through this well. This man has seen other people's drawings and watched diligently how others drew but now if he had been diligent or his diligence has been worthwhile, we did know after he has drawn.  Now look at the life of a man, who comes into the earth he has never lived before, but he intends to make the nicest thing out of life by watching what others do, adding some spices where he deems necessary but do you...

                                        EYE CONTACT IN CONVERSATION. Few months ago, I spoke to my friend on the phone. The truth is, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Our friendship was getting cold, the only surviving tool for reviving our friendship was the heartwarming messages we text to each other.The memories of what we used to be were drastically fading, like the mist of a breath on a mirror. Anyway, fate smiled at us, we were going to meet, my heart skipped as he said these words “I just can't wait to see you”. In no time, we met. My countenance was beaming with excitement when I first saw his behind. I could hear my heart screaming 'gosh he has grown taller; I love it'. Without thinking, I rushed to him and hugged him from behind, we giggled like sillies. Not too long later, we decided to initiate a conversation, when suddenly his eyes dropped t...

A COLD WALK HOME ________________________ Well, here you come. Tired and hunched forward under the weight of stress and a persistent headache. It is only 10:30 at night, and it has been a very long day. From signing up your course forms to sitting for hours in the clinic where you were assigned to have your x-ray done. You managed to get five out of seventeen courses signed.  Two of your lecturers are dead. The virus got them. But you know it wasn't a virus. You know that whatever got those men was looking for you. It was the same reason you were shipped from Abuja to Ibadan; to escape whatever it was pulled out of a private university where you were studying Medicine. Now you study Micro-biology in the University of Ibadan. Late Dr. Rotimi was your father's friend. He was to keep a keen eye on you. The son of a Nigerian politician could never be safe. If your father had his way, he'd have sent you abroad. But that's too late now. The airports nationwide are clogge...

Today, I want to bring back the memory of how Nigeria became independent. The Nigerian Independence Movement began as nationalist who had been outside the shores of Nigeria to study came back and saw that we couldn't go on like that. These nationalists include Nnamdi Azikiwe, Obafemi Awolowo and Anthony Enahoro.  These nationalists fought hard for the liberation of their beloved country, and they believed in our many resources and the vast wealth stored in our beloved Nigeria.  Nigeria is truly a blessed country, and it would be a huge mistake to let the British continue to rule over us. So, they fought until we became independent in 1960.  After Nigeria gained Independence Oh yes, the freedom we were looking for, freedom to govern ourselves, to own our finances, have our own rules and no second class citizens for anyone.  Even after 62 years, I still have a strong feeling that there is still that desire and passion for independence.  But now, we a...

I invested in an internet enterprise which, unknown to me, turned into a Ponzi scheme. I had invested a lot of my time, cash, and trust into the business and I had withdrawn money severally to the point that I felt convinced to put in a larger sum. So, I took loans from three sources to fund my meant supply of constant income. Unfortunately for me, the system crashed, and I couldn't withdraw my capital nor the gain. The world round me started to crash as money creditors began to ask for their money. I became devastated and didn't know what to do. I thought of suicide, and it seemed like the best option. After all, no one would ask a dead man for money. But, then a voice said to me, 'You have every right to give up, just don't'.  Every so often, many times, the world presses us down, and we can't seem to find the light at the end of the tunnel. We seem to keep on hitting rock bottom irrespective of how hard we try, but that doesn't give us t...
