The preacher stood in the pulpit, arm on his microphone wearing a nicely tailored suit that seemed to have celestial powers. He walked majestically across the altar and spoke on a topic that caught your attention.


You were interested because of the vigor of his message, you then decided to pay him 100% attention. Your eyes were fixated on him as he moved and demonstrated his words like a professional ballerina.


As you continued to digest his teachings, your brain began to play scenarios of situations that link to his teachings and you began to envision what he said in your head then suddenly you jerk up as you feel the tap on your shoulders by the church usher..
“uncle please situp”
You were dreaming the whole time…

Now this scenario is different for various people but the effect are always the same. Sleeping in church has been a major problem in the lives of many church goers and pastors as well. It has even been termed a spiritual problem caused by evil spirit who pass out the bliss of sleep to prevent people from hearing the word and also makes most preachers feel their sermon is boring enough to induce sleep.

Ok lets not get diabolical most church ushers can attest to the fact that during homily 40% of the congregation tends to fall asleep Irrespective of the type of message being preached.

If you find yourself amongst the lot of people who have a tendency to doze off whenever homily starts, if you promise yourself every Sunday to stay awake but end up dozing in church or constantly have to fight with tiry and weary eyes in church, well you are not alone and i hope these few tips below will be of immense help.

1. GET ADEQUATE SLEEP

Simple as it might sound, this is very vital. Most people work so hard that they forget to sleep or get enough of it. Waking up very early and going to bed late has become the norm for most people and while you may think you have mastered that lifestyle you find yourself dozing off at the most unconventional locations.
Accumulated stress and sleep deprivation makes the body weak and ready to shut down at the slightest opportunity it gets. It might be inside a car as a passenger or in a saloon, in a quiet banking hall, at work or in church but as soon as the body gets a chance to relax and calm, it tends to shut down with sleep.

So while you are trying to stay awake in that fully air conditioned church with only the pastor’s voice as a distraction you might as well be fighting a lost battle.


2. KEEP MUSCULAR ACTIVITIES

This also works, keeping a conscious muscular activity keeps you sort of busy to prevent that moment of lapse when your subconscious takes over and you are left to the mercy of the church usher.


Shake your legs, pinch your laps, clinching your butt cheek are good examples of clandestine muscular activities that doesn’t attract attention to you but also keeps you codedly busy while on your seat.

3. TRY NOT TO OVERTHINK

This is one of the biggest reasons why people fall asleep in church. Always bring yourself back to reality by mumbling (not thinking) a few controlled phrases like “stay awake” repeatedly.

Do not allow your mind to drift away into the vast space of thoughts about work or that relationship or money. Day dreaming like this or getting lost in thought is the quickest way to slumber and a visit from the usher. Control your thoughts.

4. BE ACTIVE
shout alleluia, (jump if necessary) wave hands, sing, stand, do whatever it takes tk stay active and try to vibe with the message. Even if its a boring message stay active by looking and participating enthusiastically and actively.

DONT FALL FOR IT

That pew in front of you with the head rest especially in Catholic and Anglican church can be really tempting and comfortable to rest your head just for a few seconds

DONT!!!!!!

Do not fall for it, it is the surest way to dreamland and an embarrassing encounter with the usher. If you feel like you have lost the battle with sleep just bring out your phone and scroll through. Check your bible application or chrck something interesting for a few seconds, it helps but whatever you do, don’t go for the headrest.

Well i hope i have been able to help someone with this, please drop your comments on any other way you can use to combat sleep. Thanks yall

Why, must we concede

so that my Over 2.5 wee enter

Praise the Lord fam, today I want to share with the abstract fam a message I have titled “singleness, a gift from God”

I am neither a pastor nor a preacher of the word but I am confounded to share this word of wisdom with you because of the “wahala” I have seen and encountered in this dangerous streets called dating and relationship.

I will start my message by saying something quite controversial, “YOUR RELATIONSHIP OR MARRIAGE IS ONLY AS GOOD AS YOUR SINGLENESS”. The degree of success you will have in your marriage is proportional to the degree of success you have as a single person.

No miracle happens at the altar. Most people think marriage is the answer, they think marriage can solve all their problems so they rush into it just for the glam of being called married. If you are a liar before marriage you will be one after the wedding, if you take a stinky feet to the alter you are getting stinky feet as a partner for life, if you are stingy before marriage you will be stingy after the wedding, nothing miraculous happens at the altar; just words backed with faith and a promise made before man and God.

Fam we need to stop hating our single statues, we need to stop making it look like a single person is missing out or not living fully. It is better to be happily single than to be in a wretched relationship. Let me ask you this question
“IF YOU KNEW YOU AS YOU KNOW YOU, WOULD YOU MARRY YOU”

Let that sink in for a bit….

If you knew yourself as you are, with your addiction to porn and lying disorder, with your stingy nature and bossy attitude would you want to live with someone like you for the rest of your life. Let us go deep into our selves and observe our lives. Let us work on ourselves as individuals…read books, go to seminars….check theabstracthoughts and be enlightened.

My mother once showed me a life lesson with eggs. She brought a crate of eggs and picked put six eggs. She broke five eggs in a bowl all were good and healthy then she brought this one egg which was bad and smelly. As soon as she broke the bad egg into the mix the entire bowl turned stink. She then turned to me and said “what did you learn form this”

Well the seven year old me was just annoyed that my fantasy of egg omelet for dinner was ruined but today when I think back on it a lot comes to mind. One bad egg can ruin all your good eggs. Don’t think you are so good you can change a bad person so you accommodate them for life, please fam don’t…its too cold outside to change anyone. Pick your eggs carefully; while single groom yourself to be the perfect egg. While people are looking for their better half you be the complete person.

It is never too late to change, being single is a very important stage, it is the learning and preparation stage do not waste it pining away for some brother or sister. Be industrious, chase your dreams, love God and be the very best version of yourself so that when that person comes into your life, they meet a standard and they have to meet up to it.

Well hope you are blessed by this word from the abstract pulpit

Please pay your offerings and tithe…..

Pandemonium broke today in the University of Benin as post-graduate students came out in mass for what was supposed to be a peaceful protest over the alleged extortion by the school.

Post-graduate students of the University Of Benin, Benin-city protesting the introduction of 30,000, 60,000 and 90,000 for PGD, Masters and doctorate thesis fees respectively. The protest went south when members of the university of Benin security started beating the protesters (students) while trying to calm down the protest.

A peaceful protest turned strangely awful when school security on seeing the peaceful protesters decided to turn on them with heavy hands. The security men proceeded to collect all the phones of the protesting post-graduate students for fear of their acts leaking to the media. At the time of this report, most pg students have their clothes torn and their faces seriously battered beyond recognition.

The students who have been staging series of protest said they cannot afford to pay the N30,000 charges postgraduate diploma students; N60,000 for masters and N90,000 for Ph.D. students allegedly demanded by the institution.
The Public Relations Officer of UNIBEN, Michael Osasuyi said the fees were as a result of the decision of the University Council in 2016.

…….“ I want to assure the students that the matter is being looked into. The University of Benin has not increased fees. Whatever ever the students are talking about was a Council’s decision in October 2016 and not even the school fees or the tuition as the case may be. “It takes a lot to train postgraduate students and the University of Benin is poised at doing that which is very important and relevant,” Osasuyi added.”

Real life speeches from people who have conquered life


Peter Dinklage:
Don’t wait until they tell you, you are ready. Get in there……the world might say you are not allowed to yet. I waited a long time out in the world before I gave myself permission to fail. Please don’t even bother asking, don’t bother telling the world you are ready, show it…do it.

Raise the rest of your life to meet you. Don’t search for defining moments because they will never come. The moments that define you have already happened, and they will already happen again and it passes so quickly. Just try not to wait until like me you are 29 before you find it. And if you are that’s fine too some of us never find it…….but YOU will….i promise you. You are already here that’s such an enormous step on its own. You will find your rhythm or continue the one you have already found.



Natalie Portman: You are here for a reason. Sometimes your insecurities and your inexperience may lead you to embrace other people’s expectations, standards or values. But you can harness that inexperience to carve out your own path. One that is free of the burden of knowing how things are supposed to be. A path that is defined by its own particular set of reasons. People told me that ‘Black Swan’ was an artistic risk. A scary challenge to try to portray a professional ballet dancer but it didn’t feel like courage or daring that drew me to it. I was so oblivious to my own limits that I did things I was woefully unprepared to do. And so the very inexperience that in college had made me feel insecure and made me want to play by other peoples rules now is making me actually risk take risks that I didn’t even realize were risks. But my complete ignorance of my own limitations looked like confidence and my belief that I could handle these things contrary to all evidence of my ability to do so was half the battle. The other half was very hard work. Don’t doubt yourself too much right now. Dive into your own obliviousness it can be a good thing If it makes you try things you never might have tried. YOUR INEXPERIENCE IS AN ASSSET and it will allow you to think in original and unconventional ways.




Les Brown: See I know something about you…..even not knowing you…that you’ve got greatness within you. You have the ability to do things that you can’t even begin to imagine. You have talents and skills in you that you haven’t even began to reach for yet. So some of you are going to experience a breakthrough, some of you are going to go back and look at your dreams and brush them off. Some of you are going to look at yourself and say “hey look here I know I have not done all I can do”. Whatever goal you have in mind, I want that to be a goal that challenges you, something that will make you stretch. It was Osborne who said “unless you attempt to do something beyond that which you have already mastered, you will never grow.” What is it that you looked at, at some point in time and you decided you couldn’t do it? That you talked yourself out of it? Whatever it is bring it back out there! How you are going to do it, that will come to you in due time. You see when you are not pursuing your goal you are literally committing spiritual suicide. When you have a goal that takes you out of your comfort zone, you will find out some talents and abilities you have, that you didn’t know you had!

Practice makes what…(audience echoes: PERFECT) Absolutely Not. Dislodge that from your mind. Practice only makes improvement. Perfection doesn’t exist. You need to take it out of the dictionary. Practice only makes improvement. You can always better your best. You have NOT done your best work yet… as long as you are here you have a chance to transcend yourself.



Ray Lewis: See God gives us lots of things in life…..but there is a couple things he don’t give us. Time is something he gives nobody. Tim slows down for no man. So the question is: How much time are you gonna waste?





Steve Harvey: If you want to be successful, here is the thing you have to do…YOU HAVE TO JUMP. There is no way around it…..YOU HAVE TO JUMP. Every successful person has jumped. You got to jump you got to take a leap of faith. You’ve got to dash off that cliff and you’ve got to jump out there as far as you can. Now a lot of times you stand on the cliff of life and you see other people soaring by, gliding down like birds flying through the air. You see them dressing like this, you see them in exotic places they flying by…you know why because their parachute opened. But the only way to get your parachute to open so you can soar, you got to jump! Now here’s the problem…when you jump I can assure you one thing..pay attention now…when you jump I promise you this, your parachute will not open right away. No…That’s the fear part. You gonna hit the sides of the rocks, you gonna tear your back out on that cliff, you gonna cut yourself, you gonna get wounded. You gonna get some tears and some blood stains but eventually your parachute will open and you will be soaring. But here’s the other caveat, I’m gonna teach you this right here….. If you do not jump, I promise you one thing your parachute will never open. So you are safe but you will never soar. YOU HAVE GOT TO JUMP.

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE WE MAKE IN LIFE

IS WAITING….

Until you think you are ready.

Until someone else thinks you are ready.

Until you have more experience.

For luck

For the perfect moment.

MAKE THE JUMP

Although a large percentage of countries globally has embraced the LGBT community and indoctrinated them as normal members of society, Nigeria has taken a different approach going against this fast rising global trend. A large percentage of Nigerians are yet to accept homosexuals as normal members of society viewing homosexuality as an abomination or unsuitable for societal acceptance.

In the year 2013, the Same Sex Marriage Prohibition act was passed into law. This carried a 14 year jail sentence for persons caught practicing activities that indicates homosexuality, thus placing Nigeria on the global watch as human right groups and activist fought for the neutralization of this law which was targeted at good Nigerians whose only crime was a different approach to sexuality.

Since the inception of this law, there .have been cases of violence, stigmatization, mob violence, arbitrary arrest, torture in detention, physical and sexual molestation against ‘gay’ people. This law on its own created an opportunity for homophobic violence without fear of legal consequences. Although these activities has had little effect to curb the increasing population of the LGBT community here in Nigeria, today we have Nigerians who have come out openly and declared their sexual status or preferences without fear of consequences.

Nigeria has and will always be the cradle of black civilization. Our cultural norms and values runs deep and far like the two rivers that transverse the length o the country. The African tradition frowns (this is even a mild term to describe it) upon homosexual activities. It sees it as barbaric and a taboo. Nigeria being largely religious also condemns the act on the premise of it being a sacrilege (a major sin) in the sight of God in all factions and ramification.

So because of these should little Tolu be put o jail just because he discovered he likes the company of his own sex more than the opposite sex, should Elize continue to live in fear and terror just because she is afraid of what society would think or do to her if she reveals her sexuality.

I am not a supporter of homosexuality, but I support humanity and humanity triumphs or should triump over sexuality. We should never allow the laws that are supposed to protect us be the reason we kill each other.

Say no to any form of violence and stigmatization.

This is a THEORY I just formulated and it is subject to debate (especially in your early twenties), so take what you want from it. So I imagine you guys already know that I’m a love / relationship junkie, and one of my favorite things to do is wonder and “research” about related issues and topics by reading books and articles and related watching videos. But perhaps the most interesting mode of research for me is talking to people (mostly friends and family), sharing ideas and experiences and asking their opinions on things. A series of pretty interesting events that have taken place over the past few months to me and some of my friends really got me thinking about the intricacies of dating in your 20s, and given the similarities and patterns of our experiences, I came up with the theory that dating in your 20s is very likely a waste of your time, and this particularly holds true for girls as opposed to guys. Firstly, I refer to it as a “waste of time” because in my opinion, relationships exist ultimately for the purpose of finding a life partner, i.e. they should ideally end in marriage; therefore, any relationship that does not end in marriage is a “waste of time” (note the air quotes). Obviously, it is not a total waste of your time or resources because there are a few things that these failed relationships can teach you about the other person, love, life, and more importantly about yourself. But since the ultimate end goal was not achieved then, you wasted your time. Secondly, I think this applies more to girls than it does to guys because given our societal upbringing and conditioning, especially in this part of the world, girls are more likely than guys to want, hope, pray and put in the necessary effort to ensure that whatever relationship they get into would lead to a marriage (for the most part). In other words, marriage is usually somewhere at the back of our minds when we’re dating someone. Guys on the other hand, are very likely just looking to while away time, play around, enjoy the company and care (and sex) of whichever girl they are dating at that point, and then move on. And I don’t even think it’s conscious or intentional—I think it’s simply because a lot of guys in their twenties are not:*.emotionally mature enough to handle relationships*.looking for serious, long-term commitment*.anywhere close to thinking about marriage So what ends up happening in a lot of cases is: Boy meets girl. Boy and girl like each other. They start dating and might fall in love; everything’s going great until they start having some problems, big and small. Frustration sets in, communication and trust issues develop, and cheating may occur. “Breaks” are taken, one person asks for some “time” or “space” away from the other, they get back together, ride through the storm and… they eventually break up. During this period, excuses are made for the other person, nasty things might be said about each other, trust is broken, countless tears are shed, there are feelings of betrayal, and eventually a heart or two get broken. Now, if you’re lucky, all of this takes place in a matter of months, but if you’re not, this goes on for two, three, four years or even more! And you basically waste your entire youth on someone you won’t end up marrying. So, what has essentially happened is that you’ve helped prepare and groom this person into the perfect spouse for someone else out there to come and marry them “ready-made”, which sucks. So what am I saying exactly? That no one should date in their twenties? Nope. All I’m saying is that if you happen to find yourself in a relationship at that stage of your life, then be prepared for the possibility of it not ending in marriage, especially if you’re looking for serious long term commitment and the person you’re dating is nowhere close to being on the same page with you. You’ll know the signs when you see them. If not, please have conversations about these things and then decide whether or not to proceed with the relationship. Obviously, there’s no hard and fast rules to these things, so there’s no guarantee that things will work out in your favor even if you do all the “right” things, so just remember that. Also, there are those cases of college or even high school sweethearts that date all through their late teens/early twenties and eventually get married. That could be your story, you never know. Good luck out there as you traverse the realms of love, emotions and heart.

Its all abstract thoughts…what’s your thoughts on this?

It is unfortunate that at this period of recession, all the government can think about is to hike the prices of everything.. this is totally unacceptable and uncalled for.. Buhari well done, you have done well..
