Man is naturally active in the face of any challenging situation. But when devoid of knowledge, there still will always a remain in him some form that is inclined to his self-realization as a man, he is created to be.
This man created to be, is endowed with intelligence through which his inclination tends towards his object of apprehension. We mean by apprehension, that feeling of fear or anxiety about something that might happen, which is the minds early warning system. And this is the very source of his free activities and his will, of which, the main object of his will is always the good as such. But what do we understand by the (will)? the will is that force that makes our intention move from idea to action.
As it were, when the intellect of man present some images of his will, there is what one might call, an immediate or spontaneous embrace or response in the acceptance of the will.
Simply because, the will of man seek only those form of good, which is fundamentally the good in itself through which all the particular form of good always tends to participate at any given time.
Therefore, the human intellect is always ready to offer the known object, as the sovereign good in itself , of which the will would always seize it with an immovable-grip as an act of it's most perfect liberty or freedom.
But unfortunately, man with his natural limitations, do not often has the capacity to directly see the supreme perfection before him, and because of this shortsightness, he results to what one might call, a tentative effort- in his process to grapple with his process of reality.
And he do this with incessantly renewed effort in his intellect to determine among the form of good.
These forms of good are the one bound to the sovereign good through the necessary connection wherein, consist the liberty or freedom of man. It must be observered that man's unshakable adherence to the sovereign good is very often come to denied him, hence, his will must direct his attention to the particular form of good.
The reason for this could be found in his fundamental problems of morality. Now what is morality?, In fact, morality is the system of principle, that tell us what is right or wrong and what is good or bad. It said that morality is not invented, it is revaed on our heart. The same is true that, it is mentioned in the scripture 84 times- " Fear not, do not steal, love your neighbor as yourselves ". The problem of morality- is cented on the like of how to determine the particular good he could choose. And when eventually known, of how to determine the acts in view of the ends in process.
As it were, there is always the question of man's "intention "-in the process. We mean -intention, the why behind what you do before you actually do it, which is the motion of the will, if you like, that tends to move itself, and all other power of the soul toward a particular object, which is the object of intention, and the reality of certain end in view at this point.
It must be observed that to reach an end, there must be a means to desired such an end. But what do we mean by desire?, the desire is the pull you feel towards something before - intention and will actually show up themselves in the process. Therefore, it is the same intention that must always tends to run through the successive volition of the different means in the process.
The same is true, that it is always the "intention" that "will" the means in view which is the "object" of the end in view. Therefore, it is "Sino - quano" - and imperative, that since the human acts in various form needs to deal with singular cases and objects, it therefore , must requires an act of deliberation necessary to establish an appropriate means required, in view of such end.

Caligrafic error of Slavic journey, instead it was to be written, - Salvific journey. The journey we are to be saved or delivered.
Thanks.

The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the very obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions. On the contrary, it actually could spure to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those of the heat and the questions of moral conscience. Make no mistake, that the contemporary man tends to have the greater need for inner- self as well as the out-self in order to know God and know himself .
The same is true, that with such knowledge, man can authentically, nurture the sense of dignity and respect for others. Indeed, through such knowledge man, no doubt, may come to know the true meaning of the value of life and work through the part of true freedom, Justice and Peace.
It must be observed that, one of the Christian truth, is not about ideology but in the recognition without any iota of doubt, in the changing of the social and if you like, of the political reality in favour of man, which cannot be confined to any rigid political structures. Make no mistake, it call for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re- affirmation of the Transcendental that encompasses the dignity of the human person.

In the evolutionary Salvific journey of man, there have not be lacking of numerous advocate of genuine emancipation of humanity. The emancipation, that inspire, not in passive acceptance, but in authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth. The way of truth that inspire to assist man once and for all, from any form of oppressive and violence forces and indeed, from the shackle of poverty of our time, that tends to pavade the current political system.

As never before, there is the need for a shift of focus towards a firm resolve to return humanity to his rightful place in the scheme things as to maintain his dignity. At this point, it is also a moral issue, because out there, are a bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like of Lazarus, in spite of the scripture education over the centuries
hanging around us.
Of course, this is nothing but the hight of moral defficency of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty, as results of self -centered and distraction, hence, the need of the shift of focus, of which the current political value system could be held responsible and accountable.
Indeed, the current value system, is asking for a shift in focus, for the sake of balance and moderation, without drifting in either political extreme, in the quest for authentic regulations towards man's rightful place in the system. As it were, it call for urgent need to strive to balance the material well-being and spiritual well-being, and indeed, the self and others without anyplay of act of political indifference, of which posterity will not leave anyone accountable.

Despicable and shameful indeed. A very bad image of a state called Edo State, an act of indiscipline to treat Children as adult. There is no words adequate to explicate the high level of indiscipline and incompetency that is infesting the society at large. May God save Nigeria and save Edo State.

The development of Character, no doubt, will course strong inner living and to an extent, to the facing up to our daily challenges. In this context, our doing becomes what might be called, the overflow of being, I. e, we do things with our whole mind without blaming anyone, as long as our inner self- is growing and not without focus, of which the outward living, takes care of itself.
According to the scripture, in Prov. 23:7, ( "as man thinks in his heart, so is he". Therefore, often times, our outward living is the reflection of who we are on the inside. Unfortunately, due to distraction, the what l may call the modern ambitions tends to consume our focus. In reality, our fliving should have been focused on the deeper and fundamental questions of the meaning, purpose and indeed, the spiritual dimensions of our living. In fact the scripture speaks of the changing of the heart, the inner attitude, the core of our being of the individual of which such changes, works it's way to the outside- as we put on a new self. It must be observed that it is the love of Christ that can truly change what is inside us, not our own will and our ability.
Therefore, our inner growth, no doubt, will always results in our external growth. Of course, it is only the hypocrite, who their inner world and outer world do not match. The same is true that we are in an age of which many are busy cultivating a life of pretence, developing a false public image , not without a great vigor and yet failing to give adequate attention to the heart. But such failure, not doubt, his it's implications, positive or negative, as the case maybe. As human, we are made up of three parts, to put it kindly, which is - our heart or spirit, our body and indeed, our our mind. We are always being saddled with the responsibility to balance them, for our own sake. It will be observed that with our body, we relate with the physical world, with our mind, with the intellectual world, and indeed, with our heart, with our inner dimension of character and the spiritual.
Unfortunately, many of us, no doubt tends to put the bulk of our time and energy only into that of the mind and body to the neglect and detriment of the heart. What seems to be at stake here, is not letter or scholarly degrees, but about our heart. The reality, is that character is what we have on the inside, and indeed, of who we really are.
Therefore, our character matter a great deal and it demands that we explore our inner selves to experience authentic and successful living.
According to St. Augustine, God created without our our help but he will not save us without our disposition to be saved.

The purpose of this write up is to see how culture sometimes affect the level of productivity in an environment where people care about productivity,and indeed, where people are increasingly working across culture. In working across, l mean, where individual working together, come from variouse backgrounds with different cultures that differ from one another. And often times, we take no cognizant of the underlying difference that may exist, which though, unintentionally is not without a baggage of some sort of sabotag in the system, it is meet to protect, for whatever reason. It must be observed, that often, aware of it or not, we are griped with the assumption that working in the same environment and speaking the same language, means we have the same goal and objective. It must be observed, however, be that as it may, and make no mistake about this , that the part to getting to such end often take many Hazardous
wist and turns.
There are some effective method, not only may tends to increase productivity level but may also come to enhance some level of communication skills across culture, as it come minimanze any likely misunderstanding at any given time. Here are some of the key issues that must follow up.
1. In any Verbal and Nonverbal language, clarifications must always be sort, because often, what one may think, and honest way to bring up an issue may turn out to be a misconception, due to the direct approach, that could create distrust, as it come to strain any future interactions in the process.
It must be observed, however, that one must not assume to understand gestures,this because, what may come to be acceptable in one culture, may turn out to be insult in another culture. Therefore, the need to strive to adapt the use of verbal expression to explicate the non- verbal gestures in use.
2. The Avoidance of taking others mistake, as a personal one, because, in any project execution, for instance, we must not forget, every culture has, to some extent, its method of applications. Therefore, what one may come to perceive as a grave error, due to style or method of Applications, may not be, but an act of cultural method of understanding. Hence, the need, to always be prepared for an explanation to understand the reason behind every single gestures, as to learn from other culture.
3.The acceptance, that we do not understand, what we do not know. This is because, we are often with what l may call the makeshift believe that we are competent and highly skillful in all areas of the work we do. But contrary to this assertion, there always remain an incognito, which is the unknown part,in both the practical knowledge of understanding and the differences in meaning due to cultural diversity. It will be observed, that in any behavior, this may appear appropriate, though, time may be required to diagnose any such action instead of hasty assumption based on personal own cultural filter or outlook.
4 The need for increase awareness, together with personal experience, that we carry with us a cultural baggage, that prescribe our behavior, value and how we come to perceive and the world around us. The same is true, this cultural baggage, is often what come to allow use to categorize people and situations, put in context. Therefore, the more we are aware of what one may call this individual biases, the easier, it may assist in the acceptance in the understanding of our differences, that unite.
And this may ultimately, help to breakup what l may called, the stereotype, and if you like, the false and negative generalizations about people and theirs culture.

THE SCHOOL OF HUMANITY:-
‎A Founding Text on Power, Personhood, and Political Meaning

‎PREAMBLE:-

‎Every civilization is governed by an idea of the human being.
‎When that idea is weak, power becomes cruel.
‎When that idea is absent, power becomes meaningless.
‎The crisis of Nigeria for instance, —and of many post-colonial societies—is not first economic, ethnic, or political.
It is what l come to call -anthropological.
‎We have not agreed on what the human person is worth, whether is just animal with instinct or animal with both instincts and reason, is human being.
‎and therefore we have not agreed on what power is all about in itself.
‎The School of Humanity arises to correct this failure, and if you like this misconceptions;-
‎
‎I. FIRST PRINCIPLE: THE HUMAN PERSON
‎The human person is the irreducible moral unit of a society and Not tribe, Not region, Not party and indeed Not state.
‎
‎Every system—political, economic, cultural— and what have you, is justified only insofar as it enlarges human dignity and possibility to improve and progress.Therefore, any power that degrades the person, even in the name of stability or unity, is illegitimate.
‎
‎II. THE ERROR OF NIGERIAN POWER.
‎Nigeria’s dominant political logic treats power as:-
‎Possession rather than Responsibility access rather than obligation
‎Survival rather than service
This logic no doubt, produces:
‎Fear-based politics
‎Extractive leadership
‎Fragile institutions with Short moral time and indeed, Power, stripped of moral purpose, as it turns inward and consumes rather than creates.
‎
Make no mistake that , this is not a failure of character alone, but a failure of philosophy. From , this l will argue , that we must institute the teaching of philosophy,right , from the secondary school.
‎
‎III. POWER HAS A TELOS:-
‎A purpose driven, which is central to Aristotelian philosophy, as it refers to the inherent purpose or ultimate goal of something.

‎Therefore, Power is not self-justifying and
‎Power exists for a purpose beyond itself, hence. —its telos. The same is true in this perspective that the telos of power is:
‎> The protection, development, and flourishing of the human person through just and enduring institutions, of the like of Nigeria.
‎It is also true, that where power lacks a telos, it becomes mere force. Where force governs, fear replaces trust. Where fear rules, society stagnates.

I live in a world that often feels loud, unstable, and uncertain—a world where confusion competes with truth, where survival sometimes overshadows compassion, and where chaos threatens to harden the human heart. Yet, it is precisely in such an environment that my humanist convictions find their deepest meaning without fading.
Humanism, to me, is not an abstract concept of philosophy reserved for calm societies. It is a practical commitment to human dignity in the midst of disorder at any given time. When systems fail and institutions falter, what remains is the human person—thinking, feeling, hoping, and struggling and overcoming. I do believe that every individual, regardless of circumstance, carries an inherent worth that chaos cannot erase in our life time.
In a chaotic environment, fear easily becomes a guiding force, no matter how challenging. Although, people may retreat into tribalism, selfishness, or despair. Humanism challenges this instinct. It asks me to see the “other” not as a threat but as a fellow human being, navigating the same storm. It calls for empathy where suspicion dominates, and for reason where emotions are manipulated. But make no mistake,
I do not deny the reality of suffering. Poverty, injustice, violence, and moral confusion are not illusions; they are daily experiences. But humanism insists, however, that solutions must be rooted in human responsibility rather than blind fate. Progress begins when we accept that the future is shaped not by miracles alone, but by education, ethical leadership, and collective effort.
In chaos, as we find it today, truth is often distorted. A humanist approach demands critical thinking—the courage to question narratives, challenge dogma, and resist ignorance. Reason becomes an act of resistance. To think clearly in a confused society is already a moral achievement.
Most importantly, humanism restores agency. It reminds me that even when the environment is broken, I am not powerless. Small acts of kindness, honest dialogue, and moral consistency still matter. They may not immediately transform society, but they, no doubt, come to preserve our humanity while we work toward change.
In the end, my humanist view is simple, which is that, chaos does not absolve us of our responsibility, rather, it deepens it. When the world is unstable, choosing compassion, reason, and dignity is not naïve—it is but a revolutionary. Humanism is my way of affirming that even in disorder as we find it today, humanity can still choose to find a space to be humane.

The Nigeria Humanism, the way l come to view it , for the sake of the collective well-being.
Fellow Nigerians,
I stand before you today to speak on Nigerian Humanism—a philosophy deeply rooted in our history, culture, and collective conscience as a people.
Humanism, at its core, is the belief in the worth, dignity, and potential of the human person. It emphasizes reason, compassion, justice, and responsibility, without denying spirituality, culture, or community. Nigerian Humanism is not an imported idea; it is an African philosophy lived long before it was named.
In traditional Nigerian societies, the individual did not exist in isolation. Among the Yoruba, we say “Eniyan ni aso mi”—human beings are my clothing. Among the Igbo, “Onye aghana nwanne ya”—let no one abandon their brother. Among the Hausa, “Mutum mutunci”—a person is dignity. These expressions reveal a worldview where human life is sacred, communal, and meaningful.
Nigerian Humanism teaches us that:
A person is valued not by wealth or power, but by character and conduct.
Leadership is a moral responsibility, not an opportunity for exploitation.
Society thrives when justice, fairness, and empathy guide our actions.
At its best, Nigerian Humanism rejects oppression, corruption, tribal hatred, religious extremism, and social exclusion. It reminds us that no ethnic group, religion, or class is superior, and that Nigeria’s strength lies in her diversity united by shared humanity.
In a time when our nation faces insecurity, poverty, political tension, and loss of trust, Nigerian Humanism calls us back to first principles:
To place people above profit.
To measure progress not only by infrastructure, but by human well-being.
To educate not just the mind, but also the moral conscience.
Nigerian Humanism does not oppose religion; rather, it challenges all belief systems to uphold human dignity. It does not deny tradition; it refines it to serve justice and inclusion. It does not reject modernity; it insists that development must have a human face.
The future of Nigeria depends not only on policies and constitutions, but on the values we choose to live by. If we embrace Nigerian Humanism—compassion in governance, integrity in leadership, respect in diversity, and responsibility in citizenship—we can build a nation that works for all.
Let us therefore recommit ourselves to a Nigeria where:
Every child matters,
Every voice counts,
Every life is valued.
That is the promise of Nigerian Humanism.
That is the Nigeria we must build , never too late.
Thank you, and God bless the Federal Republic of Nigeria.

According to (Romans 12:2) ,it said do not confirmed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind. Therefore, it speaks of a transformative impact of mindset that shift for our personal growth. The renewed mindset that leads to a fresh perspective and innovative solution in any environment it find itself. With a disposition to assist and to navigate any challenge and uncertainties. It is a renew thinking that inspire and empower any team to achieve it's aim and objectives at any given time.
The silent power of renewed mind, tends to be disposed to achieve a fresh perspective and innovative solutions. The perspective of self- awareness, of emotional intelligence and indeed, of that of resilience in any given situation.
Therefore, the silent power of any renewed mind, is not without the result of disappearance of any kind of fear. When there is this disappearance of fear, there is the rise of faith, as boldness becomes it's companion to walk side by side with realities. And there emanate, in the process the inspiration and empowerment of others through the transformations of thought and actions that aligned with values and purpose, such purpose of a new done and clarity.

It must be clear the Traore is not alone on this, in what looks like a test on the Nigerian diplomacy. This is indirectly reminding those internal conspirators that it is time to do away with their political differences and face up to the Nigerian reality.

When we say we have Experience of something, we are simply saying we have -intelligible experience of an Object. The same is true, according to Kant, the Germans 18th century philosopher, that for anything to count as an experience, we must be able to identify what is that object or something that actually was responsible for that experience. The experience must have to do with the interaction between our mind and the object in question. The same is true that the object we see must be able to make our understanding of the world seems sensible and indeed, acceptable for what it is objectively. For instance, one cannot doubt, that there is a link between the object we see, for instance, of the like of onion (the onion) and the idea, we have of it in our mind- (the idea of onion). It must be observed that, how we gain the idea of onion, no doubt, may be more
complicated than just seeing it. According to Kant, in order to see the letters, we need to have some level of the very concept of Unity and meaning. Such that,- in the concept, one thing can be separated from another, before we can then identify what the thing really is. In this perspective, we have experience of things when we can interpret it with our mind. The same is true that the very act of having a sense of impression and experience is an act of interpretation. This also come to suggest that there is no such thing as (fixed)- world or environment we all come to experience, on the contrary, the world as we experience it necessarily come to involve an act of interpretation.

When we say we have Experience of something, we are simply saying we have -intelligible experience of Object. The same true, according to Kant, the German, 18th century philosopher, the for anything to count as an experience, we must be able to to identify what is that object or something that actually was responsible for that experience. The experience must have to do with the interaction between our mind and the object in question.

It must be observed that, how we gain the ideaof of onion

When we speak about the word or concept of incompatibility, we means two ideas or actions, that are incompatible. Therefore, that they are not acceptable or possibly to be together due to some basic differences that cannot be managed. But compatibility means, two ideas or actions that neither is impossible to be together due to non- existence of any basic differences. The concept of incompatible and compactible exist everywhere in our daily life.
We can find this in the like of among individuals, places, environment, and indeed, in activities that does not align with who we really are inside out. But more often, than not we intentionally or consciously make up our mind to confirm to the reality as we see it. We often do this consciously or unconsciously without the passion or interest, necessary to galvanized and motivate us along the way. But make no mistake that, often the human mind is incapable of seeing things in a completely honest, and straight forward manner.

The reason often stern from the fact that we hide things from ourselves due to Mr. Denial and it's companion Mr. Blame. Always on the standby, who are often the very cause of our lack of self- awareness. They remain, the ever present forces that tends to thwarts our ability to dissect and see ourselves of who we really are in an evolving realities. It must be observed that the very essence of denial is that you ignore the obvious simply because you do not want to confront it.

There is this freedom of choice that often times land us into a wrong decision taking of which a lot of factors come into Play. These factors are diverse of which the most common is the concept of conformity, in contrast to incompatibility. The reality is that, when our external reality is not in sync with our inner self, the result is resistance with the very feeling to escape or to jump the fence, in avoidance of the circumstances, instead of confrontation.
The sticking point here, is the choice to do away with anything incompatible with our nature. And the same is true, that as we fill ourselves with discrepancies, we must strive to tolerate for the sake of moving on, but note that tolerance is not acceptance.

In the current dispensation, a lot of things have tends to have gone wrong.The reason for this, no doubt, seems self evidence and if you like, l a distraction in itself because of what l may call the " misunderstanding of the basic or primary truth of our time.
And what are these primary truths, we are actually talking about here. We are told, there are three of such primary or basic truths which are in the investigation of of our knowledge and truth, of which are, in the first place (1) the fact of our existence, then secondly (2) the principle of non-contradiction, and thirdly (3) the mind to know the truth.
The same is true, that these basic concepts as it were, we are told
are inherent and indeed, such that cannot be validated with positive proof simply because of their a prior nature. And this means what come first, not through our experience, but as the first fruit of being a human being.
Therefore, the fact of our existence demands that , we are aware of what is right to do and what is wrong not to do.
In the principle of non contradiction, we are told that what is good or right and what is wrong cannot simultaneously take place at the same time. On the other hand our mind is always there to recognize the truth when it sees it.
We must make no mistakes the we saddle with responsibility to pay attention to this basic or fondamental attribute of man, without which it is without its consequences.
It must be observed that the truth can be attributed to judgement we often come to expressed through our preposition that observed the lack of any agreement between two or more of our ideas.
It must be observed that when attention is given to this basic attribute of man, some level of mistakes can be avoided individually and collectively.

The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions. And it spur us to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those of the heart and the question of moral conscience. The contemporary man tends to have the greater need for the inner-self as well as out-self in order to know God and himself.

It is true that with such knowledge, we can nurture the sense of dignity and respect not only for ourselves but also for our environment. It is through this knowledge we can also know the true meaning of the value of life and work in tandem with the sense of true freedom, justices and peace. One of the Christian truths, is not about ideology but in the recognition that without any iota of doubt, is the changing of the social and political reality in favor of man that cannot be confined to any rigid structure.

Therefore, is the calls for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re-affirmation of the transcendental that encompass the dignity of the human person. In the evolutionary salvific journey of man, there has been numerous example of the advocate of a genuine emancipation of humanity. The emancipation that inspire, not a passive acceptance, but in the authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth in order to free man once and for all from any form of oppressive and violence forces that is raging so assiduously and the shackle of poverty of our time.

Through such resolve, we can return humanity to his dignified platform of existence, through which he exercises his full right in the scheme of things. Although, there is the gospel prosperity talks of material abundance as a sign of divine favor of which, what they seems to be silent about is the very purpose of this material abundance in the life of man.

Because, at this point, it has becomes a moral issue in particular, when there are bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like Lazarus hanging around us. Of course, it must be said, that this has become a moral deficiency the contemporary setting of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty. The same is true that it is all about the issue of self-contentedness and distraction from the very issue of heart and value of which the existence of man is accountable.

But there must be a shift of value system that asks for a balance and moderation without drifting either extreme in the quest to positively regulate our perspective of the current system. It must be the shift of value to balance our material well-being and the spiritual well-being and the self and others without recourse to the extreme as the current extremist nature of things seems to depict.

It must be observed, however, that in the 18th century, there arose a movement of the intellectual thought in Europe. And their sole aim was a rejection of the external authority as they enthrone what come to be regarded as personal subjective judgment. Although, they were known to be called enlightenment and was celebrated in their intellectual individualism. Their main objective was also to seek to banish any idea of living by repository of wisdom beyond one’s own intellect.

This post-Christian era also known as the age of reason or secular culture, was with the view that any rational being must be able to work out the truth about life for themselves, which seems to rain supreme at the time. However, it was not without an element of misconception, and if you like, a misplaced concept, because it take for granted all matter of basic belief, i.e. the strong feeling that exist or is true in every individuals. The outcome of this was an outlook that appears to control the opinion makers and information disseminators of the time. The consequences of this were a sort of anti-Christian, a type of mindset that seems to move against the very value and dignity of man, peace and justices, and indeed, the interest of the collective wellbeing.

The reality is that, for any given society to truly have a human face and take its rightful place in the scheme of things and look to the future with confidence, it is necessary and imperative for an orientation of man from within, which implies healing of wounds and achieving a genuine purification of the heart. Such heart contaminated by negative past memories of mutual misunderstanding and forgiveness.

The same is true that there is no darkness of error that can totally act as a replacement of man in the scheme of things in the light of his creator. In the depth of man’s heart remain the yearning for the absolute truth and a thirst to attain the full knowledge and understanding of his creator. But the reality is that he must be disposed to the grandeur and the sublime thought of the Divine mind to fill him with the inspiration and comprehension of his real place in the scheme of things. Of cause, which also, implies a genuine relationship and love with our fellow being.

But unfortunately, this genuine relationship and love remain in the radar of the greatest deceptions in the contemporary setting. A sort of an illusion that one get everything one wants, if you like, happiness without God. The same is true, that it is also an illusion that we can find authentic freedom by excluding moral truth and personal responsibility. But responsibility is not always a choice we make, rather, it is an inevitable act that happens before we ever consider any such possibility. In the past decade we must have witness an ever increasing emphasis on the need to develop a new ways of doing thing, if you like, in what may be termed a leaning culture. Which could be the only way to sustain a competitive advantage over the long term, in an increasing complex and turbulent environment the contemporary setting have no an immediate answer. The learning culture is characterized by a continues learning from experience and history, and indeed, by learning to learn. The basic assumption on the belief of a learning culture can be described along two dimensions which are that of flexibility with regard to external environment and commitment. And the flexibility with regard to environment, often act as a facilitator and ease, in uncertain situation where there are tolerance of ambiguity and functional orientation. But as regard to commitment, it has to do with the sharing of responsibilities and information in support with a sense of participation toward a change of mindset.

The shared basic assumption in the contrast of flexibility with regard to external environment is but the rigidity in the status quo. While the basic assumption that contrast commitment is but a parochial orientation. But the integration of these concepts did allow for the development of a model of preparedness for a genuine transformation. The learning culture is a model that reflects the basic assumption of flexibility and commitment with a disposition and wiliness to decisively deal with any form of transformation without procrastination.

But the level in the ability to avoid any procrastination is reflected in a versatility to effectively cope with any demand presented by the environment in question. However, the wiliness and disposition must be demonstrated in an integrated manner of any system with high level of commitment in the continues wellbeing for the interest of the collective. Any competitive culture can also have the basic assumption that reflect flexibility, although, not without a parochial and vested interest in orientation. Such culture, however, is able to deal with any transformation, irrespective of the complexity of which the disposition alone can always afford to weather the storm.

The willingness and disposition must be demonstrated in an integrated manner in any system as to function with high level of commitment in the collective wellbeing of the system. The ability to impact any transformation must be expressed in a well balance perspective with regard to the demand of the external environment. Because such wiliness often manifest in the ambivalent functionality of the system. The same is true that there is always the ambivalence about the benefit that any such transformation may bring about in the various invested groups.

The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions. And it spur us to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those of the heart and the question of moral conscience. The contemporary man tends to have the greater need for the inner-self as well as out-self in order to know God and himself.

It is true that with such knowledge, we can nurture the sense of dignity and respect not only for ourselves but also for our environment. It is through this knowledge we can also know the true meaning of the value of life and work in tandem with the sense of true freedom, justices and peace. One of the Christian truths, is not about ideology but in the recognition that without any iota of doubt, is the changing of the social and political reality in favor of man that cannot be confined to any rigid structure.

Therefore, is the calls for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re-affirmation of the transcendental that encompass the dignity of the human person. In the evolutionary salvific journey of man, there has been numerous example of the advocate of a genuine emancipation of humanity. The emancipation that inspire, not a passive acceptance, but in the authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth in order to free man once and for all from any form of oppressive and violence forces that is raging so assiduously and the shackle of poverty of our time.

Through such resolve, we can return humanity to his dignified platform of existence, through which he exercises his full right in the scheme of things. Although, there is the gospel prosperity talks of material abundance as a sign of divine favor of which, what they seems to be silent about is the very purpose of this material abundance in the life of man.

Because, at this point, it has becomes a moral issue in particular, when there are bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like Lazarus hanging around us. Of course, it must be said, that this has become a moral deficiency the contemporary setting of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty. The same is true that it is all about the issue of self-contentedness and distraction from the very issue of heart and value of which the existence of man is accountable.

But there must be a shift of value system that asks for a balance and moderation without drifting either extreme in the quest to positively regulate our perspective of the current system. It must be the shift of value to balance our material well-being and the spiritual well-being and the self and others without recourse to the extreme as the current extremist nature of things seems to depict.

It must be observed, however, that in the 18th century, there arose a movement of the intellectual thought in Europe. And their sole aim was a rejection of the external authority as they enthrone what come to be regarded as personal subjective judgment. Although, they were known to be called enlightenment and was celebrated in their intellectual individualism. Their main objective was also to seek to banish any idea of living by repository of wisdom beyond one’s own intellect.

This post-Christian era also known as the age of reason or secular culture, was with the view that any rational being must be able to work out the truth about life for themselves, which seems to rain supreme at the time. However, it was not without an element of misconception, and if you like, a misplaced concept, because it take for granted all matter of basic belief, i.e. the strong feeling that exist or is true in every individuals. The outcome of this was an outlook that appears to control the opinion makers and information disseminators of the time. The consequences of this were a sort of anti-Christian, a type of mindset that seems to move against the very value and dignity of man, peace and justices, and indeed, the interest of the collective wellbeing.

The reality is that, for any given society to truly have a human face and take its rightful place in the scheme of things and look to the future with confidence, it is necessary and imperative for an orientation of man from within, which implies healing of wounds and achieving a genuine purification of the heart. Such heart contaminated by negative past memories of mutual misunderstanding and forgiveness.

The same is true that there is no darkness of error that can totally act as a replacement of man in the scheme of things in the light of his creator. In the depth of man’s heart remain the yearning for the absolute truth and a thirst to attain the full knowledge and understanding of his creator. But the reality is that he must be disposed to the grandeur and the sublime thought of the Divine mind to fill him with the inspiration and comprehension of his real place in the scheme of things. Of cause, which also, implies a genuine relationship and love with our fellow being.

But unfortunately, this genuine relationship and love remain in the radar of the greatest deceptions in the contemporary setting. A sort of an illusion that one get everything one wants, if you like, happiness without God. The same is true, that it is also an illusion that we can find authentic freedom by excluding moral truth and personal responsibility. But responsibility is not always a choice we make, rather, it is an inevitable act that happens before we ever consider any such possibility. In the past decade we must have witness an ever increasing emphasis on the need to develop a new ways of doing thing, if you like, in what may be termed a leaning culture. Which could be the only way to sustain a competitive advantage over the long term, in an increasing complex and turbulent environment the contemporary setting have no an immediate answer. The learning culture is characterized by a continues learning from experience and history, and indeed, by learning to learn. The basic assumption on the belief of a learning culture can be described along two dimensions which are that of flexibility with regard to external environment and commitment. And the flexibility with regard to environment, often act as a facilitator and ease, in uncertain situation where there are tolerance of ambiguity and functional orientation. But as regard to commitment, it has to do with the sharing of responsibilities and information in support with a sense of participation toward a change of mindset.

The shared basic assumption in the contrast of flexibility with regard to external environment is but the rigidity in the status quo. While the basic assumption that contrast commitment is but a parochial orientation. But the integration of these concepts did allow for the development of a model of preparedness for a genuine transformation. The learning culture is a model that reflects the basic assumption of flexibility and commitment with a disposition and wiliness to decisively deal with any form of transformation without procrastination.

But the level in the ability to avoid any procrastination is reflected in a versatility to effectively cope with any demand presented by the environment in question. However, the wiliness and disposition must be demonstrated in an integrated manner of any system with high level of commitment in the continues wellbeing for the interest of the collective.

This is said to be the ability to perceive, to reason and understand and manage emotions, both within yourself and others around you at any given time. There are four (4) components of emotional intelligence, which are self-awareness, self-regulation, social awareness and relational management. In the practice of emotional intelligence, we can recognize the patterns in our own behavior and emotions with the result of helping us to understand our actions and reactions at any given time.
Emotional Intelligence continues to be an increasingly popular skill to have, in any working environment or professional world. The reason for this stern from the fact that it is not a trend, rather a fundament aspect of our life experience, which very often can influence how successful we are in our relationship and professional life. There are some ways we can improve our emotional intelligence, that may range from the followings; -
1.PUTTING CONSCIOUS EFFORT TOWARDS BEING POSITIVE This means staying positive in the face of any adversity at any given time. Of course, this could be a well-known trait which, no doubt, indicates emotional intelligence, that could mean keeping your eyes on the horizon, which is not an instinct, but a habit to cultivate, one that could take time to develop through practice. In this perspective some people do this through listening to music that put them in positive mood while others through calm meditations that allow them to rest their emotion.
2. WORKING ON SELF-AWARENESS AT ANY GIVEN TIME. By reflecting on our emotions as to see how they influence our reactions and behaviors in the working environment. We could conduct self-appraisal, to ascertain our emotional strengths and weaknesses. And do we strive to avoid confrontation or lose our temper quickly. We could practice mindfulness or meditation as it is convenient to our working environment at any given time.
3.TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR FEELINGS AND BEHAVIOUR. We must recognize that our emotions and behaviors come from us and do not come from anyone else, therefore, whatever happens, we are the one who is responsible for them. For instance, when you feel hurt in response to something, anyone does or say, and you respond and lash out, you are no-doubt, responsible for that, they did not control you to lash out and your reaction is your responsibility at that point in time. It must be observed that your feeling can provide you with valuable information about your experience of the other person, and indeed, your own needs and preferences, simply because your feelings is not another person’s responsibility at that moment in time, but yours. Therefore, once we start accepting responsibility for how we feel and how we behave, this will have a positive impact on all areas of our life.
4.RESPONDING INSTEAD OF REACTING;-It will be observed that in any event of conflict, emotional outburst and feeling of anger are very common. But an individual of emotional intelligent always know how to stay calm during any such stressful situations. Such individual strive to avoid any impulsive decisions that could escalate even to a bigger problems. Simply because such individual come to understand that in time of any conflict, the goal is always a resolution of a conscious effort of choice made to focus on ensuring an actions and words are in alignment with resolutions.
5.UTILIZING THE LEADERSHIP SKILL. The emotional intelligent individual tends to have leadership skills, simply because they have what one might term a high standard for themselves through which they set an example for others to emulate. Such individual tends to take initiative not without having also a greater decision-making and if you like, with problem solving skills, as this allows a higher and more productive level of performance in any working environment, even in life generally.

The development of science and technology cannot actually free humanity from the obligation to ask the ultimate existential questions. On the contrary, it spur us to face the most painful and sometimes, decisive struggles of those things of the heart and the very question of moral conscience. The contemporary man, no doubt, have the greater need for the inner-self as well as outer-self in order to know God and to know himself.
It is true, that with such knowledge, we can nurture the sense of dignity and respect. Through this knowledge, we can also come to know the true meaning of the value of life and work in the way of true freedom, justice and peace. The Christian truths is not about ideology but recognizing without any iota of doubt, that it is the changing of the social and political reality in favor of man which cannot be confined to any rigid structure to the neglect of those things that most matter to man.

It calls for a deep reflection of the very need for a constant re-affirmation of the transcendental meaning, which goes beyond the human knowledge, reason or experience, which encompasses the dignity of the human person. Because, we are told that man is raised by two wings, so to say, which are in simplicity and purity of heart. It is in the simplicity of intention which leads to God, of which he has the purity of desire that embraces things through which he enjoys himself. In the evolutionary salvific journey of man, there have been numerous examples of the advocate of a genuine emancipation of humanity. The emancipation that inspires, not in passive acceptance, but in an authentic and firm resolve to work effectively in the way of truth in order to free man once and for all from any form of oppressive and violent forces and indeed, to avert the shackle of poverty of our time.

It is also true that through such resolve, we can return humanity to his dignity through which he exercises his full right in the scheme of things, the purpose of which he was indeed, created. There is the gospel prosperity talks of material abundance in our contemporary setting, as a sign of divine fervor; although, they often seems to be silent about the very purpose of this material abundance in the life of man, if it fail to serve the very purpose of which it was meant to carry out, due to moral issues, in particular, when there are bunch of haggard and hungry folks of the like of Lazarus hanging around us without any impact of the material abundance. Of course, it must be said that this is a moral deficiency in a contemporary setting of which majority are deprived in the mix of plenty. The same is true that it is all about the issue of self-centeredness and distraction from the very value of which the existence of man seem accountable.
But there must be a shift of value system that demands for a balance and moderation without drifting in either extreme of the spectrum in the quest to regulate our perspective of the current system. Make no mistake about this that, it must be radical shift of value system that will enable a balance of the material wellbeing with that of the spiritual wellbeing and the self and others without recourse to the extreme as the current situations seems demand.
It must be observed, however, that in the 17th century, there arose a movement of the intellectual thought in Europe. And their sole aim was a total rejection of the external authority as they enthrone what come to be regarded as personal subjective judgment. Although, they were known to be called enlightenment and they were celebrated in their intellectual individualism. Their main objective was also to seek to banish any idea of living by repository of wisdom beyond their own intellect.

The outcome of this was an outlook that appears to control the opinion makers and information disseminators of the time and not without consequence.

The consequences of this were a sort of anti-Christian, a type of mindset that seems to move against the very value system and dignity of man, peace and justices, and indeed, the interest of the collective wellbeing. In reality, for any given society, there must have some level of a true human face that take its rightful place in the scheme of things. The same is true, that it must look to the future with confidence, and which becomes necessary and imperative, in the orientation of man from within, which implies healing wounds and achieving a genuine purification of the heart. Such heart that have been contaminated, if like by negative past memories of mutual misunderstanding and forgiveness.

It is also true that there can be no darkness of error that can totally act as a replacement of man in the scheme of things in the light of his creator. In the depth of man’s heart remain the yearning for the absolute truth and a thirst to attain the full knowledge and understanding of his creator and he will do this in simplicity and purity of heart. There must be spirit of disposition for what looks like a grandeur and sublime thought of the Divine mind to fill him with the inspiration and comprehension of his real place in the scheme of things. Of cause, it also implies a genuine relationship and love with our fellow being as we move toward this path way of our journey
But unfortunately, this genuine relationship and love remain one of the greatest deceptions in the contemporary setting as a result of moral deficiency that has held sway to ancon[b][/b]. A sort of an illusion that we can get everything we wants, if you like, of the like of happiness without God, they are always being short-lived.
The same is true, that it is also an illusion that we can find authentic freedom by excluding moral truth and personal responsibility out of the equation. But responsibility is not always a choice we make, it is the inevitability that happens before we realize to consider such possibility. The past decade must have witness an ever increasing emphasis on the need to develop a new ways of doing thing, if you like, what one may call the leaning culture as result of the evolving reality. As the only way to sustain a competitive advantage over the long term, in an increasing complex and turbulent environment the contemporary setting seems to have no an immediate answer.

The law of change is part of the evolutionary effort of man through which human race has come to slowly lift up himself from the baseline of all other creatures. The baseline where the destiny of all living things has been fixed by life pattern and instinct. It is through which man has always strive to overcome since the time immemorial.

It is obvious that the entire history of mankind has come to be clearly marked as a pattern of perpetual change, moving onward and forward. It has become the creature’s device from the rational human being to those of irrational animal.

This is true in the eternal verity of life in habit and thought of man that is continuously reshaping into a system of relationship and moving into a more harmonious and better understanding of his environment. It is imperative, therefore that this device of change must adequately be comprehended and put into practical use at all time.

This must be done in the habit and attitude just to master the very cause of fear of change which is but an opposition to the overall pattern of the universe. For to conform to this overall plan of the universe of change or perish, is always the nature’s warning through the manifestation of some the devastation situation we often come to witnessed over the centuries past.

The same is true that often times, the fear of failure and indeed, the very shock of disappointment in human being is design to shake loose of this fixed habit that man has tenaciously clings to. But no matter at what level man has struggled with his irrational paranoia, a change has always be the very device through which we must adopt to embrace the benefit of a better habit of growth. And education becomes the bedrock of transformation that provoke the mind of any individual to the part of growth and development from within.

And indeed, Education also causes the mind to evolve and expand as he moves from the primary level to the highest level through the constant changes in the very thinking process and reflections. It is in this thinking process and reflections we come to develop an act of rationalism to become the bedrock with what may be called the potential power to advance in the process of development and improvement.

Through this potential power we become capable of not only in the striving to solve individual and collective problems, but also to confronting and coming to terms with the reality as they present themselves in our evolutionary journey. It is self-evidence that this theory of the law of change, tends to conform to nature’s plan as found through the human experience of inventions throughout history.

Because it forces man to use and develop his mind power and to have and to confront what looks like the impossible in the unpredictable journey as we evolves. The same is true that this law of change is the very sources of education in itself, because understand this reality; you will no longer oppose this inalienable heritage from nature that gives a wide scope of understanding of man and its environment.

It is significant though, to know that the traits our creator most emphatically frowns upon in man are –complacency, procrastination, fear, and self-imposed limitation, all of which, no doubt, carry with it its own consequences. Although, complacency and habit has been allowed to won a victory over change and progress, in this part of the world and needless to admit, however, that this is unfortunate.

It must be emphasized however, that it is through the act of change that is the only and only one means of which the creator had provided to facilitate man’s to break away from other irrational animal. And it is only through this means that man must ascend into the spiritual and material estate to be master of his own fate.
And he does this through the simple process of mental attitude to draws a pattern of his own choice of standard of living, in conformity with nature to face up with the reality of his time.

It is with this irrevocable and unchallenged power in man that he must not overlook in what looks like an absolute control of his reality. Because man has since been considered by the creator to be the only important prerogative in his guidance and direction. And to come to deny him or be denied this very right, no doubt, amount to repression and misconception of the central purpose of what man has come to represent in the scheme of things and indeed, may be the very purpose of his existence.

The fixation of habit and self-imposed limitation is but an attitude that openly shun knowledge and all what it represent in man’s evolutionary journey and also in the acceptance of living by the truth of others long past.
The same is true, that it is but an act of resistance to the very truth itself as well as the very foundation they have come to predicate the truth. The same is true in what they come to represent, and in what looks like a vociferous attack to the growth and advancement, in their’ own perspective ‘of which no one dare question.

The very resistance to change is a representation of fear of the unknown and the unseen that may become the very reason why they waste no time instigating others to follow suit because they are too comfortable with the state of affair. Accordingly, they don’t know how to ‘be’ and could not let others ‘be’, hence, the very concept of change has become not only to irritate but to exacerbate the high level of unpleasantness. Although, this may sound great, but it remains one of the most difficult, if not impossible notion to grapple with in its very essence.

It must be emphasized though, that power of change belong to God. But Paul would remind us that-"He can do more than we can ask or imagine by his immeasurable and incredible power that is at work on the inside of us and our circumstances’’. The same is true, often we have so much to see, understand and experience in our relationship with God.

The reason is often very clear because in particular, it challenges the very status –quo which some class of individual not only have come to found comfortable but also seems to threaten their very own existence. But in man’s evolutionary journey, it is but a mandate that man must strive to comply with this evolutionary element of his being, if he must come to term with the infinite truth. This state of ‘just being’ is but a metaphysical dimension through which one become aware that we are just a student of the universe who must be humble and obedient to learn from everything and everyone, of which history become the platform through which we do this for our own sake.

The term metaphysical dimension here is but a dimension that transcends rational discourse without lapsing into irrationalism, which is the last precarious refuge of human truth to which man’s own thought tends always to aspire. Because, out there are forces outside our control and beyond our comprehension that are totally defying any reasonable explication in our daily struggle for survival. It is significant however, to know that nature tends to lead man through change after change by peaceful means as long as we co-operate with it, but she result to the opposite, with a reaction when we neglect or refuse to conform to this law of eternal change.

This is probably one of the reason that when things get foggy, the universe is not ready to playing any form trick, but only a reminder as it tried to stare man in the right direction for the sake of making an adjustment or a change that is required. The reason seems clear, because, she enforce the law of fixation of habit and instinct in every living things even those lower than human. The same is true, just in the same way as it enforces the law of change and rational habit in every living things higher than animals. In compliance with this law of change, we are capable of enhancing our lots with some level of efficiency through close attention and discipline to a make a difference, of which the level and degree of rationality, may no doubt, vary. Therefore, those who oppose change are but vampire-like -associate who are more likely to drain you of life given energy than restore the innocent qualities of your heavenly soul.

Happy birthday with the best wishes and long life and prosperity to Kamala Haris

HAPPY BIRTHDAY WITH BEST WISHES TO A GALLANT SOLDER AND GALANT HEAD OF STATE.

There is what come to be called the “Toxic thought “ which is different from Healthy thought”.

thought is rooted from what come to be known as “biochemical,” which is responsible for bodily stress. We are told, they are stored in our mind and in the cell of our body. This same is true that there are twelve of such area of toxic thought in our life with disruptive crews called the “dirty dozen” that could be harmful as poison in our mind and body. This is due to human condition with its complexity.

As it were, the toxic thought often can just creep into our mind as a result of an abuse or as a result of horrific trauma of which of course come to depend a great deal of individual human condition. that. It is also true that the result of any toxic thinking can translate into stress in our body that could just be more than fleeting emotion, according experience, no doubt is often a testament to this variously .

Stress in a global term, is but the extreme strain in our bodily system as a result of toxic thinking, that be could be unnecessary worry and anxiety. It is clear that toxic thinking has the potential to harm the body and mind in a “multitude of ways from just that patchy memory to that of a severe mental health, immune system, health problem and digestive problem”.

Thus every single thought, be it positive or negative move through the same cycle when formed, and we can “break the cycle of the toxic thinking as we start to build the healthy patterns that bring peace to our stormy thought life”.

According to Dr. Caroline Leaf,(2009), when we change our thinking , some branches move away as new one is replaced and the strength of the connections change as well as the memories network with other thought of the like of spiritual thought, and this is the renewing of the mind, and as related in the scripture of the like of Eph; 4;23-24- "Be renew in the spirit of our as we put on a new self'''.

When we are thinking, our thought is activated, which in turn activate our attitude, simply because our attitude encompass all of our thought put together, that reflect our state of mind. Therefore, our attitude is a reflection of a chemical secretion being released, which could be positive attitude with the correct amount of chemical secretion or negative attitude with distortion of the chemical secretion as a result of the disruption in the natural flow.

According to Dr. Caroline Leaf,(2009)-“the chemicals are of the like of little cellular signals that translate the information of our thought into that of the physical reality in our body and mind to create an emotion”. It is the combination of thought and emotion which is the result of our attitude that impact our body in a positive or negative way, that once again expose the complexity of human condition.

Thus our mind and body are inherently linked, that start with our thought as we come to the understanding of how our thought are formed, and the impact in our emotion and body, through which we tends to have a true choice to make. The choice of the like of, can we allow our thought to become toxic and poisonous or can we detox our negative thought for the sake of improving our emotional wellbeing in order to recover our physical health.

It will be argued, however that many of us today are familiar with this verse in Deuteronomy 30;19, which says-“today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessing and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh that you would choose life , so that you and your descendant might live”.

It is becoming obvious, that in the order of nature is the compliance and total obedience to love everything around us. Of course, which is to obey the the command of God as we journey in the arena of our human conditions. As it were, it often shows, aware of it or not, that Love is one of God's greatest gifts to mankind, although, we end up planting what l may called a toxic seed, a loved betrayed that has become the most hurtful experiences in our life.
This is so, because when you experience emotions, appreciation, love and compassion, studies shows there will be a clear change in the pattern of activity in what come to be called, autonomic nervous system, immune system and indeed, brain and heart. We are told such physiological change, no doubt, help to explain any observed connection among positive emotions, improved health and indeed,often time, increased longevity.
And make no mistake, that in contrast, when you do not give and experience love, there will be a physical reaction in the brain expressed as a stress in the body.
Believe it or not, science show and even the Bible tells us that when a society operates in love they do extraordinary things. Like or not we are often wired for love, a fundamental hunger and thirst, because love activates what might be called the pleasure reward system.
According to scientific studies, the heart is not only a source of love, research shows that the heart also considers and think about informations received from the brain, and this implies the heart has his own opinion, and in indeed, in one of the verses in the scriptures, God said the choice is yours, you just have the freedom to make your own choice.
Hence, you must listen to your heart in its gentle nudge or sense of warning hence, always consider a moment of reflection.
The same is true that our hearts is not just to pump blood, that it is the body's strongest biological oscillator, that enabled human to pull every other system of the body into its own rhythm, because when the heart is at peace and filled love, the entire body under the very direction of the brain, no doubt, feels peace and love as well. It is also true that when you experience the love of God and people, your heart speed up it's communication with mind and body through your blood vessels. Therefore,
it must be abserved that it implies that life is in the blood, in what one might call, body's transport system, and our heart is in charge to making sure the transport works.
It is love that help us to feel others pain and empathize with them, and not hate and indeed, once again, we are wired to love and have concern for one another.
Remember, St. Paul, in 1 Corinth 13, that love is patient, kind, not jealous, proud, boastful or rud, etc, rather, it is quick to believe the best, wants justice and never fails in Love.

It is self-evidence that this theory of the silent law of change, tends to conform to nature’s plan as found through the históry of human experience of inventions throughout the history.

Because it forces man to use and develop his mind power and to have to confront what looks like the impossible in the unpredictable journey as we evolves.

It must be emphasized however, that it is through the act of change, is the only and only one means of which the creator had provided to facilitate man to break away from other irrational animal. And it is only through this means that man must ascend into the spiritual and material estate to be master of his own fate.
And he does this through the simple process of mental attitude to draws a pattern of his own choice of standard of living, in conformity with nature to face up with the reality of his time.

It is with this irrevocable and unchallenged power in man that he must not overlook in what looks like an absolute control of his reality. Because man has since been considered by the creator to be the only important prerogative in his guidance and direction. And to come to deny him or be denied of this very right, no doubt, amount to repression and misconception of the central purpose of what man has come to represent in the scheme of things and indeed, may be,in the very purpose of his existence.

The fixation of habit and self-imposed limitation is but an attitude that openly shun knowledge and all what it represent in man’s evolutionary journey and also in the lack of acceptance of living by the truth of others long past.
The same is true, that it is but an act of resistance to the very truth itself as well as the very foundation they have come to predicate the truth. The same is true in what they come to represent, and in what looks like a vociferous attack to the growth and advancement, in their’ own perspective ‘of which no one dare question.

The very resistance to change is a representation of fear of the unknown and the unseen that may become the very reason why they waste no time instigating others to follow suit because they are too comfortable with the state of affair. Accordingly, they don’t know how to ‘be’ and could not let others ‘be’, hence, the very concept of change has become not only to irritate but to exacerbate the high level of unpleasantness. Although, this may sound great, but it remains one of the most difficult, if not impossible notion to grapple with in its very essence.

It must be emphasized though, that power of change belong to God. But Paul would remind us that-"He can do more than we can ask or imagine by his immeasurable and incredible power that is at work on the inside of us and our circumstances’’. The same is true, often we have so much to see, understand and experience in our relationship with God.

The reason is often very clear because in particular, it challenges the very status –quo which some class of individual not only have come to found comfortable but also seems to threaten their very own existence. But in man’s evolutionary journey, it is but a mandate that man must strive to comply with this evolutionary element of his being, if he must come to term with the infinite truth. This state of ‘just being’ is but a metaphysical dimension through which one become aware that we are just a student of the universe who must be humble and obedient to learn from everything and everyone, of which history become the platform through which we do this for our own sake.

The term metaphysical dimension here is but a dimension that transcends rational discourse without lapsing into irrationalism, which is the last precarious refuge of human truth to which man’s own thought tends always to aspire. Because, out there are forces outside our control and beyond our comprehension that are totally defying any reasonable explication in our daily struggle for survival. It is significant however, to know that nature tends to lead man through change after change by peaceful means as long as we co-operate with it, but she result to the opposite, there is always a reaction when we neglect or refuse to conform to this law of eternal change.

This is probably one of the reason that when things get foggy, the universe is not ready to playing any form trick, but only a reminder as it tried to stare man in the right direction for the sake of making an adjustment or a change that is required. The reason seems clear, because, she enforce the law of fixation of habit and instinct in every living things even those lower than human. The same is true, just in the same way as it enforces the law of change and rational habit in every living things higher than animals. In compliance with this law of change, we are capable of enhancing our lots with some level of efficiency through close attention and discipline to a make a difference, of which the level and degree of rationality, may no doubt, vary. Therefore, those who oppose change are but vampire-like -associate who are more likely to drain you of life given energy than restore the innocent qualities of your heavenly soul.

THE DEFINATION OF PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION, AND THE FOUR (4) MAIN BRANCHES OF PHILOSOPHY.
(a) Logic is the attempt to codify the rules of rational thinking or thought.
(b) Epistemology is the study of knowledge itself.
(c) Metaphysics is the study of the nature of things.
1.-DEFINATION;-An educational philosophy is a personal statement of a teacher giving principle about a big picture of education related issues, such as how a student learns. Such that potential are most effectively maximized and the role of education in the classroom, schools community and the society at large.
2.-WHAT IS PHILOSOPHY EDUCATION? The philosophy education comes to involve the philosophical study of education and its problems, with its central matters as education and its methods and those of philosophy. The philosophy of education may be either the philosophy of the process of education or the philosophy of the discipline of education.
3.-WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION:-Philosophy of education is a statement or set of statement that tends to identify and clarify the belief values and understanding of an individual or group of people with respect to education. The philosophy of education is important and critical in defining and directing the very purpose, objective and focus of a school. Therefore, the individual philosophy of education is believed to be that education of every individual’s unique experience as a student who enters a classroom. Through the provision a quality education to each individual student in the classroom, a teacher equips the student with the tools necessary for success in the life journey.
4.-THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY AND PHILOSOPHY OF EDUCATION?;-Educational philosophy is a teaching philosophy because it is an outlook of the approach of instructions. It concerns the matter of instruction, evaluations, class management and discipline as well as communication. While philosophy of education is a concept about the use, purpose and goal of education in general.
5.-HOW IS PHILOSOPHY RELATED TO EDUCATION?. The two disciplines are closely related, although in some area, they are said to overlap each other. It is often said that \philosophy and education are two side of the same coin. The same is true that education is the dynamic side of philosophy. While education is practical, philosophy is speculative and theoretical.
6.-WHAT IS THE FUNCTION OF EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY?. The scope of philosophy of education can be said to include the followings-; Critical evaluation of aims, Ideas and education, analysis of human nature , educational values, theory of knowledge, the relationship of education and social progress. The three main function of educational philosophy are as follows;- Speculative, Normative and Critical.
7-WHAT IS THE CONCEPT OF EDUCATION?;-The concept of education is the process of facilitation the act of leaning and the acquisition of knowledge, skill value belief and habits. The educational methods include storytelling, discussion teaching and training and directed research and the methodology of teaching is called Pedagogy.
8-WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PHILOSOPHY?;-The important and the traditional function of philosophy is to foster a deeper reflection on the concept , methods and issues that are fundamental within other disciplines. The philosophical field of Epistemology, Metaphysics and Meta-ethics tends to address the most basic questions about the nature of knowledge, reality and value.
9-WHY IS EDUCATIONAL PHILOSOPHY IMPORTANT.- The Educational philosophy is important because it enable us to be aware of educational philosophy and it assist us to focus on why we make certain decision we make and when we plan for lesson and implement it. Educational philosophy is the description of goals and belief as a teacher.

Modern educators, in certain culture seems not to realize more than ever that a well rounded, complete education demands not only training of the intellect and training of the will but also of the heart as well. In a nutshell, the formation of character is as important as the acquisition of knowledge, if you like. This is self-evidence today in many African cultures. This very problem of character and education in African culture is something of a widespread epidemic, such that what is happening in one place is always the same in another due to what looks like a basic issue, and yet, it is endangering the African moral political setting.
It must be observed that intellectual ability is never a proof in any way, that a man will be able to master the difficulties of life and will be able to adhere to the right principles of action in times of distress. This is also self-evidence, in the amount of suicide rates that oftentimes have been taken place among educated individuals, not the uneducated one.
Make no mistake, that only a strong will and a firm character that can enable a man to stand such trial unshaken, because like it or leave it, life is filled with trials, hence, the very necessity of character formation.
As it were, character formation requires in the first place, an idea that gives direction, measure, and value to an effort.
According to Monsignor William J. Kerby, the aim and ways as well as the means of education must be derived. This is because the man who aims to become a perfect Christian will of necessity follow other ways and use other means than he whose aim is only to make as much money as possible, as we have come to witness in our contemporary setting.
It must also be observed, that it requires a fair knowledge of one-self, the power of body and soul, and indeed, of one's strong and weak points, and defects. According to the old Greek saying"Know yourself", no doubt, also hold true even today.
Self-knowledge, is often offered in a learned and high-sounding phrases, but more often than not, it yields little or nothing once again and this is self-evidence in the very life of African politics, and according to the Italian adage- "Tutto fumo, niete arosto", and this simply means that, although, there great is a deal of fire, but nothing is cooking. It must be said however, that man is painfully conscious of his many shortcomings, and very often, he feels a great desire to eliminate all those obstacle that tends to obstruct his way and that have now become the way, as well as the unsatisfactory personality traits. But this was just the way to enable him to achieve greater harmony within himself and the environment he finds himself.
However, the bone of contention here, is that African education is not actually a mixture of African culture blended with Morals, in-respective of the type of moral derivative- "which is to say do unto others as you would like others to do unto you.".Of cause, African history has always had a way of bringing to light, that they know what morals concept was all about before the advent of white colonialists. And if so, they tends to left one to wonders why they seems to be struggling to come to terms with our realities, as if everything was imposed them because, where there is no way becomes the very way, taken the corruption attitude they seems to imbibe.
I just think they must all go back to the drawing board, and get down to the basics. Because it is not just possible that the white colonialists are responsible for all our problems of the like of characters and the educational system we operate for any discrepancy, politically or other wise.
The internal and external conspirators must be brought to book, because they are always there, in the family and in the society at large- do not be deceived.

It is just too wrong of her, she must treat the maid as part of her family.

It does happen that sometimes, with absent-mindedness, it never occurs to her to stand up. She must be forgiven, however on this occasion.

The topic as you can see is tagged "moral decadence" a sort of total decline in some standard of living in general terms. This is both as a family, individual, and indeed as a society. The question that may come up here is what do we do and what do we transfer to the next generation in terms of culture and standard of living, I mean inheritance. Because, often it seems to me that, there seems to be a distraction in this line of thinking in general of what is going to be our legacy.
Not that people are not aware that such concepts or ideas as a contention do not exist to be seriously addressed. Except that people don't seem to share the very spirit of collectivism of concerned, on the contrary, often they are so barged down in the direction of individualism that does not seems to solve any problem rather than to compound it. Now let me extend this further in terms of a continent of the like Africa which seems to find itself in what I choose to call il "Bivio" or the junction with so many pathways that leads, no doubt so somewhere.
What happens is that she Africa seems an individual who tends to be a is sort of getting stranded as she find itself in the junction, not knowing which part is the right way to take to get to her right destination. Of cause, this could be due to her problems embedded into a complexity of problem that tends to put her into a state of nervousness and emotionally unstable and un composed as to blame everything on others for her predicament. Some contingent and necessary truths might be available to render some insight into how to get the basic things right, but only when she is prepared to do basics. But as I said, the nervousness and emotional distraction become an obstacle of which insecurity tends to find its shadow to overwhelm the spirit of clear thinking, to even know that -you just cannot -"do any quality jump" without the basic rules, simply because others are doing it.
We as an individual, as family, and society, as I said, are just missing the point in disregarding a certain basic issue like" Moral Standard of living in our society of today, as in the concept of collectivism or individualism that tends to be playing a role without actually a well-defined role in the society today. Now how long can we really have to remain in this Bivio-or Junction- is left to be desired, as there are always praises of inexplicable strive of development, truth or false?. Of cause, there is always a choice to make between Inductive method and the Deductive Method of forward moving.
The first part is to view what looks like the discrepancies that exist and adapt the right method to confront the issues that may require the Inductive method that starts “from the Particulars problems to the Universal or General problems. On the other hand is the Deductive method that starts “from the General problems or Universal to the Particulars problems. But do not get me wrong here, because in the end, it has to do with taking responsibility by every individual, family, and society that must be accountable either individually or collectively at the end of time-because distraction has a level that must be overcome for the sake of advancement.
It seems education is having the adverse negative effects on Africans to the very neglect of their culture and tradition. Therefore, they need to take a step backward, in other to get it right, because for now, they seems to be missing the mark as long as they are eager to want to move like the others with different culture and historical background . But they must pay attention to the basics of their own environment without which it could just be a wistful thinking, although, it will always appear to the contrary.
Because the others are not without their shortcoming of which they did not relent in carry out the necessary sacrifice and if you like pay the price to get to the very level of which they are to get it right a long time ago. Make no mistake, that history always have a way of demonstrating this, be it individual or culturally. It must be observed that what they are simply doing in this level is trying to fine-tune every basic steps and if you like , carrying out some corrections where it is deem necessary and may not to have got it right, like the "climate change, due to some distractions of what must have gone wrong. The African continent, on the other, instead of learning to do the basics in their unique environment and in their own way, chose to and are now, been drawn into facing up with the general trends of mistake of those who have long gotten it right.
The result is that they are in a "junction” or il Bivio’’, in sort of confused state without knowing of which direction they want to go and are not very sure of the right thing to do domestically or otherwise. The same is true that their identity seems not to matchup with what they are doing because they do not know what part to follow with the result of what looks like an infighting politically without any form or an insight of what need to be done to solve their cultural, political and historical problems. But there is always a choice to make, which is taking the step from outside-in or taking it from inside out. The overall suggestion is that the Africans must strive to mind her business by getting its ash together without falling into the same mistake like the others who fine turning their error of judgment through which they stand to learn to doing the basics in terms of moral standard and traditions although, with peculiar reality instead of want to generalize everything and behave like others.
