"Awakening, Becoming, and Creating, Daily!" ____________________________________________________________ "PEOPLE PAIN" is a result of living off someone else's existence, understanding, and opinion, without them being aware of it. If the intensity of your existence is interwoven through the fibers of another, you will not go far. It is impossible to be demoralized by the opinions or misunderstandings of another "IF" they are not responsible for your passions, purposes, and pursuits. Are you going as far as you can go in your Life and Divine Mind? If not, are you experiencing difficulties in the way you think, or in application of the Truth? Is your application power reflecting "your silent survival" off of someone else's life and opinion? Are you only going as far "as their opinions allow?" ======================================= "You Have the Right to Discover the Treasure!"

October 3rd. [size=18pt]THE SPHERE OF MINISTRATION [/size] "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting." Mark 9:29 "Why could not we cast him out?" The answer lies in a personal relationship to Jesus Christ. This kind can come forth by nothing but by concentration and redoubled concentration on Him. We can ever remain powerless, as were the disciples, by trying to do God's work not in concentration on His power, but by ideas drawn from our own temperament. We slander God by our very eagerness to work for Him without knowing Him. You are brought face to face with a difficult case and nothing happens externally, and yet you know that emancipation will be given because you are concentrated on Jesus Christ. This is your line of service - to see that there is nothing between Jesus and yourself. Is there? If there is, you must get through it, not by ignoring it in irritation, or by mounting up, but by facing it and getting through it into the presence of Jesus Christ, then that very thing, and all you have been through in connection with it, will glorify Jesus Christ in a way you will never know till you see Him face to face. We must be able to mount up with wings as eagles; but we must also know how to come down. The power of the saint lies in the coming down and the living down. "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me," said Paul, and the things he referred to were mostly humiliating things. It is in our power to refuse to be humiliated and to say - "No, thank you, I much prefer to be on the mountain top with God." Can I face things as they actually are in the light of the reality of Jesus Christ, or do things as they are efface altogether my faith in Him, and put me into a panic? http://www.myutmost.org/10/1003.html |

[size=18pt]Hurting The One You Love[/size] Gladys OMORAGBON Quite often people always hurt the one they truly love. The other day you passed some unkind comments on your spouse’s neglect of his marital obligations in the presence of his friends, did you watch his reaction to you? The other time you spoke roughly to him in the presence of his relatives, did you know you dented his or her image and self esteem. Perhaps you spoke the truth, but it was truth spoken at the wrong time. The problem is not so much, with what you said as to how you said it, when you said it and where you said it. Many couples have formed the habit of criticism and it has become ingrained in them. Everyone has their own personal style of criticism. One woman say her husband always give his remarks as little stingers and jokes. But they hurt. Whatever the style, a steady barrage of criticism can have a corrosive effects on a relationship and gradually undermine the good feelings that brought the two people together. If such criticism continues over time, a couple may find themselves focusing only on their partner’s faults and will be matching each other barb for barb. The slightest criticism, if repeated often can have a negative effect on a relationship. The critic will eventually realise that the carping isn’t getting much accomplished. Hence you hear couples saying that they didn’t know it was going to be like this. Don’t forget love is not an aspirin that you take at night and it makes you get up refreshed in the morning. No, love is not the cure. Many times, it is the cause of the pain. It hurts to love, for we are never hurt by those we care nothing about. If we would always re-collect that we are imperfect, we should not be in such a fever when we find our friends and love ones failing. After all, the cleanest field of wheat has it share of weeds. The most careful driver one day upsets the cart, the cleverest cook spills a little broth seeing all of us are full of faults, we ought to keep two bets, and learn to bear with one another-since we all live in glass houses we should not throw stones. Other men’s imperfections, show us our imperfections, for one sheep is much like another. It takes more faith to love some people than others. This is especially true of people who have an abrasive personality. People that have been hurt do not respond well to others. Usually, they have walls up because they are afraid of getting too close to others and opening themselves up to being hurt again. When we choose to recognise and encourage the positive qualities in others, we are strengthening and building them up. When we treat people like they are valuable and build them up, their walls of defence come down. They begin to trust us and open their hearts. Love makes allowances for people. Love recognises the weaknesses in others but chooses not to make a big deal out of them. Let us go the extra mile and do unto others as we would have them do onto us. I know it is difficult to be around people who are demanding and hard to please but also know that fault is thick where love is thin. Why do people hurt the one they love? Is it that they enjoy doing it and seeing their loved ones hurt?. No I don’t think they want to hurt their loved ones. There are numerous reasons why you hurt the ones you love. The first reason is fear. In our society today, we have an epidemic of insecurity. One partner maybe afraid of being hurt, abandoned by the other or of being rejected. In other cases, the criticism maybe a misguide way of trying to communicate. The husband who lashes out at the wife with “you are never here on time, I can’t count on you” etc is really asking for sympathy or even an apology. Criticism then becomes an indirect and ineffective way of trying to get one’s needs taken care of. People with low opinion of themselves often extend the same critical eye to their partners. Complex is one of the reasons for criticism. Anything the other person does is better than yours. This lead to fault-finding. Our relationships will improve considerably by exchanging a fault-finding mindset for one of encouragement and edification. Also, many people criticize because their expectations are not in line with reality. Their standard are so high that no one could live up to them. If two people enter a marriage feeling their relationship should always be peaceful and their spouse would satisfy their every want and need, they are going to be disappointed and they may snarl at their mate. If a couple discovers that the theme of criticism runs deep in their marriage or relationship, its time to examine motives and talk it over. The first thing to do is to discover your own underlying patterns and open yourself up to learning new communication skills and ways to express your feelings. If a man is using criticism as a way to making a request, get some support or just ventilate feelings, learn to express his needs directly. In any relationship, it helps to simply learn how to phrase requests. But if a partner is feeling so angry threatened or hurt that she simply wants to wound, then she may likely offer insults than insights. Take a break, a walk, deep breath, then come back and discuss the issue when two of you had cool off. It is important to remember that the issue is not who is right or wrong, but to search for place where both partner’s needs can be met and both of their perspective understood. We can choose to think and talk about the positive aspects of our spouse, children, co-workers and our relationships will increase considerably for the best. http://www.nigerianobservernews.com/01102009/features/features3.html |
Sweet Revenge By EKAIWE IGINUS OSEMWEKHA ABOUT a month ago all the news media carried a report of a Calabar man who beheaded his wife for infidelity. There was public condemnation for this disgraceful act by people in the metropolis. A respondence retail trader at New Benin Market Mrs. Adeyemi said, “why can’t this man simply divorce the woman instead of a total annihilation. He does not seem to be mentally healthy” presumably he needs a psychiatric attention. To some people revenge is sweet, it has often been said that because it is only natural for us to feel indignation when we have been offended or harmed in same way. Our in born sense of right and wrong demand that an injustice be corrected. Offense is of various degrees ranging from being slapped, pushed or slighted to being verbally abused, physically assaulted, robbed and so on. How do you feel when you experience a personal affront of one kind or another? The reaction of many people today seem to be, I will make them pay for what they did. By far the most common form of revenge involves those who are closest to us. Friends, associates and family members. Hurts, feelings over an unkind or thoughtless action can often bring retaliatory response, if a friend addresses you in a harsh tone of voice, do you retaliate? If a family member upsets you in some way, do you plot to get even? How easy it is to act when the offender is someone close to us. Frankly speaking, how can a person be joyful if hatred and destructive feelings are bottled up inside of him? One commentator observed: if you think revenge is sweet, look into the faces of those who have lived on it for years.’ Consider what has been happening in so many parts of the world where ethnic and religious tensions run high. Often one killing begets another, which only serves to reinforce an endless cycle of hatred and death, for example, when a bomb killed 18 youths in a terrorists attack, a grieving woman shouted. “We should give it back to them a thousand times”. In that way brutality only increases and more and more people are drawn into conflict. Barely had the ink dried on the headlines of the bombings at the us Embassies in Kenya and Tanzania and barely had the tears dried from the families mourning their injured and dead, the United States sent in its aircrafts to bomb those who it alleged had bombed its diplomatic posts. America cruise missiles landed on a pharmaceutical plant in the Sudanese capital Khartoum and several sisters in Afghanistan in what President Bill Clinton said was America’s response to the wave of terrorism unleashed on its people and other innocent people in East Africa. Osama Bin Ladin was the prime suspect in the East Africa bombing. He was believed to have masterminded the Nairobi and Darees-Salaam bombings. A total of 75 missiles rained on Khartoum and remote parts of Afghanistan injuring many local people in the process. The bombs outraged the Islamic world with angry Muslims vowing to retaliate. And angry sudan President Omar el-Bahir said he reserves the right to respond to the American attack? They said the pharmaceutical plant manufactured medicines. But Americans alleged that it was a center for chemical warfare. The United States administration has accused the Sudanese regime of aiding and abetting terrorism a charge that was refuted by Khatoum. Washington has claimed it has evidence of Khartoum conspiring with terrorist activities, Khartoum had given refuge to the world most notorious terrorist caries the Jackal, who was suppose to be serving a prison sentence in Europe. This was the bases of American claims that Khartoum was encouraging terrorism. Afghanistan comes into the equation because it allowed Osama to operate from its territory openly training terrorists. The U.S argues that Osama Bin laden should not have been given permission to set up his terrorist base in Afghanistan. Osama the millionaire businessman was based in Sudan where he was said to be involved in several businesses. He is worth U.S. $300 million. In the war in Afghanistan which is still lingering till date. Osama is said to have escaped unhurt from the bombings. Some claimed Osama bases were far away from where the US had hit with Osama still alive, the US appears to have got an slap on the face as the Islamic World would still argue that the world superior air strikes had failed to get the man they so much wanted. Osama Bin Laden’s base has merely been ruffled by the missile attacks. He will use the power of his money to perpetrate attacks on his U.S. enemies so, the battle is between Osama bin Laden’s terrorist and the U.S.A. where then does it bring Kenyan and Tanzania. Why were some 270 Kenya and Tanzanians killed and more than 5,000 injured in the twin bombings? East Africans have been the innocent victims of huge war of Vendetta being played across the globe. Osama bin Ladin should have weighed the pros and cons of the twin bombings in East Africa. If ever he was the mastermind behind the outrage. He failed to realise that among the victims will also be East African Muslims. And his organisation was set up for the Jihad against the Americans. Kenya, for instance lost more than U.S. $500 million worth of property in the Nairobi bombing. Tanzania lost millions in the bombing in Dares-Salaam. The loss of lives and limbs in East Africa and in the Sudan was unnecessary. Osama bin Laden is making horrific use of his wealth. His past tie of using the force of terrorism should have been nipped in the bud not by the U.S. but by Afghanistan. Sometime ago, the Nigerian Joint Task Force is said to have destroyed so many villages in the Niger Delta in response to the killing of a military officer by militants. This was a mistake. I think the Federal Government will achieve more positive result if they involve some of the militants in addressing the issue of amnesty. http://www.nigerianobservernews.com/01102009/features/features4.html |
Female Belgium returnee arrested for fraud •I was on revenge mission –Suspect By CHRISTOPHER ORJI & NWANNE OKOYE Thursday, October 1, 2009 Allens Photo: Sun News Publishing * More Stories on This Section It was a day of reckoning for a suspected female fraudster, who had been duping unsuspecting victims of their hard-earned money as she has been arrested by police in Lagos. The suspect, Mary Allen, 45, a Nigerian based in Belgium is now undergoing interrogation at the State Criminal Investigation Department (SCID), Panti, Yaba, Lagos. The mother of eight, whose husband and children are Belgium citizens, told Daily Sun that she was once duped by some fraudsters, which resulted in her being stranded in Nigeria. She said: “I returned from Belgium for my late mother’s burial. After the burial, I needed some money to go back to re-unite with my family, but there was a stumbling block. I sold some goods, including cars that I brought from Belgium, but I met twin brothers, who fleeced me of N2.7 million and I became stranded.” She claimed to have reported the matter to Sabo Police Station, adding that the police failed to bring the twin brothers to book or to make them refund her money. She claimed that it was inability of the police to do their job that made her to be frustrated and stranded in Nigeria. She further explained that it was her quest to return to Belgium that pushed her into crime. According to her, she was trying to raise some money before she met one Ifeanyi, whom she showed a car for sale, valued at the sum of N1.4 million. She disclosed that Ifeanyi gave her N300,000. There was a mild drama as she was narrating the story of her life to Daily Sun when Ifeanyi and one Hassan stormed Oduduwa Police parade ground, alleging that the suspect also duped them. Ifeanyi narrated how the suspect took him to where some cars were displayed for sale, and showed him some samples of exotic cars which she intended to be sending to him from Belgium. Ifeanyi said he believed the suspect, which made him to part with N300,000. He said he was shocked when he went the place the following day only to meet the owner of the business premises, who chased him away, saying he didn’t know the suspect. He said he reported the matter to policemen who went searching for the suspect. She was later sighted at Ikeja, while the monitoring unit of the state police command was alerted. But the suspect denied knowing him or transacting any business with him. Hassan said: “You see this woman, she is my customer. I am a Bureau de Change operator. She used to come to change money in my office. One day, she called me on phone to tell me to bring an equivalent of 12,000 euros for her in a shop.” As I knew her to be a Belgium returnee, who had been transacting business with me, I did not envisage evil. I did not have the equivalent at that time, and I told her. She said I should bring the one I had.” He alleged that he took N1.4 million to her in a popular plaza at Ajao Estate, where the suspect collected it and assigned one man to take him to another shop to give him the equivalent of 750 euros. He said when he went back to the place, he was embarrassed by the owner, who told him he did not know the woman in question. He said he was surprised when the police invited him to come and identify the suspect and she turned out to be the person that duped him. However, the State Police spokesman, Mr. Frank Mba, said the suspect had been involved in many fraud cases. Mba, however, appealed to members of the public, who might have fallen victim to the suspect’s antics to come to his office or the State Criminal Investigation Department, Panti. Yaba, Lagos. He said the suspect would soon be charged to court for fraud-related offences. http://sunnewsonline.com/webpages/features/crimewatch/2009/oct/01/crimewatch-01-10-2009-001.htm |
Rich country, poor people, visionless leaders–TMG boss By RAZAQ BAMIDELE Thursday, October 1, 2009 •Erubami Photo: Sun News Publishing More Stories on This Section To the Chairman of the Transition Monitoring Group (TMG), Comrade Moshood Erubami, 49 years in the life of Nigeria is an irony of life in term of progress and growth. To the pro-democracy activist, it is paradoxical that, citizens of the sixth largest oil producing nation still wallow in abject poverty. Excerpts: Nigeria at 49? To say that Nigeria is not yet demonstrating capacity to be out of the woods at 49 years is restating the obvious. Nigeria is 49 years today, yet it is still wobbling and fumbling in its strive to adulthood. A 49 year old child still crawling is a disable and physically challenged. Currently, the country is confronted with the negative effects of youth militancy, slowing economy, rapid inflation, troubled religious disturbances, nationwide perfunctory electricity, generation and supply with disappointed citizens and leadership losing legitimacy. Yar’Adua is running the most unproductive government that has refused to yield discernible dividends of democracy except to those masquerading as politicians using the party’s umbrella to cage the welfare of the people and detain democracy. He is running an unrehearsed administration ever bestowed on the country and has ever since assumption of office gone into profound dreamless slumber. He is a President Nigerians are learning to trust as his words can not be taken as his honour. He promised Nigerians an electoral reform that would correct past election rigging and make election manipulation a thing of the past, yet he rejected Uwais led committee’s report and still retain Prof. Maurice Iwu as INEC Chair, whereas, most Nigerians believe the first right step at election reform is the removal of Prof. Maurice Iwu and reconstitution of INEC immediately for all these failings, I will rate his administration very low, below 25 percent of good performance. He is a great concern to Nigerians and worry to the world. What were our father’s dreams for Nigeria? Our fathers’ dream for Nigeria was to establish a country that is united, strong and prosperous. A state based on the principles of democracy and social justice where sovereignty will belong to the people from whom government, through the country’s constitution shall derive all its powers and authorities. A country, where the security and welfare of the people shall be the primary purpose of government and the participation by the people in their government shall be ensured through one man one vote. Expectations of our generation? The expectation of our own generation was to build on the foundation of our fathers, a strong nation, where justice will be the basis of governance for the purpose of promoting national integration, while discrimination on the grounds of place of origin, sex, religion, status, ethic or linguistic affiliation will not be tolerated. Establishment of a state where trust in leadership shall be freely expressed without molestation, violence and process manipulation. Another expectation of our leaders is to hearness the resources of the nation and promote national prosperity to build an efficient, a dynamic and self-reliant economy for the common good of Nigeria citizenry. Above all, where the welfare and security of all shall be the primary purpose of government. Source of our mistake Nigeria, by all standards, is the six largest producers of oil and an exporter, it accounts for half of the total resources of Sub –Sahara Africa, with the largest concentration of Universities, Colleges of Education, Polytechnics and other tertiary institutions. In population, it is constituted with over 140 million citizens, accounting for one out of every five Africans. Yet, it could not utilize these great potentials to advance its movement to the land of destiny, due to bankrupt leadership. Everything started going wrong with Nigeria, from the time it failed to solve the political logjam created by the civil strife resulting from the ethnic politics of the late 60,s, which led the country into civil war from 1967-1970. Ever since Nigeria has been bedevil by accidental and mostly unprepared and reluctant leaders without any blue print for development and good governance Corruption, during the period took on a new dimension. It changed from the people, as a bait to secure government patronages to Government bait to the people to perpetuate their illegitimate ruinous rules. Indiscipline was crying to the high heaven and became the order of the day among leaders and followers, as nobody seems to be in control of anything, hence a country with all resources turned out to lack everything, living its citizens to wallop in the paradox of poverty and hunger in the midst of stupendous wealth. That was the tragedy of a very rich country with a poor and very wick citizenry. What to be done? What can be drastically done to start getting things right is foremost, to stop reforming the present leadership but remove them politically .The present crop of leaders represent the crazy in the demon of Democracy in Nigeria. We need to be courageous to put the blame of our underdevelopment squarely at the door steps of the current illegitimate rulers and recognize that unless they are mechanically rebranded the current National leadership meltdown will lead us to total bankruptcy and no amount of pretencious rebranding will lift Nigeria out of its cul-de-sac. Part of this effort will be to show the way out of government to Prof Maurice Iwu who has outlived his usefulness, as the head of the election management authority, having become a broken screen through which future election preparation and fairness can not be visibly seen. If Nigerians are searching for electoral rationality from 2010-2011,on the basis of one person one vote, they must decide to remain firm in their voting allegiances and move decisively against tenure re –rerun by Prof. Iwu and develop public passion against his self described agenda to alter their preferences. Secondly, election must be made to fulfill its historical missions, one to serve as a means of expressing trust in the person elected, as a tool for putting parliament in place to serve as a key institution of government and as a mechanism through which a ruling government is controlled, defeated and re elected. Thirdly Nigerian youth and independent voters must wake up from their profound dreamless slumber to put their destinies by their hands and challenge all the status quo permutations by the old politicians working in concert with their political son to mortgage this country and confiscate its value and virtures of democracy while perpetuating misrules, and leadership illegitimacy. Right virtues and values should be enthrown with ethical leadership so as to replace the current indirection where ethics will become the model to follow in politics and in governance, then the country will fly beyond the sky. |
