People in this modern day are looking for every means possible to connect to a superior being. There is a yearning in the hearts of men to live and operate in the supernatural. Much have been said and taught about a supernatural being somewhere who could bring about these supernatural experiences. It then appears that everyone seems to have an idea about God, whom is believed to be the creator of all things and their quest to connecting with him, by and via various means, gave birth to what we now know as Religion. Be that as it may, it…

I woke up this morning with the thoughts of Purpose all over my mind. The thoughts that we all one day, irrespective of our gender, race, skin color, biases, family background and et cetera; would stand before God to give account of our life’s stewardship. This thought has always put me in check. I am a firm believer in the fact that this life that we possess, and that we hold dear, isn’t ours, and one way to prove this is the fact that it can be demanded at any time. I mean, if we own our life for…

Forty years beginning from twenty-twelve, it was predicted, through careful analysis of events, that the world would know Peace in the future. That places that period in the future to be around 2052. According to the analysis, by the year 2052, only half as many countries will be in conflict, and the decrease will be most in the Middle East, which is currently bedeviled with a number of crisis ranging from violent conflicts and the threats of nuclear weapons in the hands of religious fundamentalists. But the world as it is today is bereft of Peace. Violent conflicts, racism, terrorism…

Similoluwa Daramola The world watched the asphyxiation of George Floyd, an African-American, by Derek Chauvin, a white Minneapolis police officer on May 25, 2020. The scene was devilry and vicious which answered the question as to the reasonable possibility of a human being intentionally stepping on his fellow human being to death which could have been best imagined. Floyd reverberated the statement, “I can’t breathe” until he finally died. And with this, it is conspicuous that the relics and debris of racism still haunt the human race like the sword of Damocles. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 1948…

The tribe of Issachar was one of the elitist tribe (even though certain people may not agree because they went into extinction) in Israel. And there was nothing that made them elitist other than the fact that the Bible recorded that they understood times and seasons, and they knew what Israel (their nation, not their tribe) ought to do. 1 Chronicles 12:32 (NLT) says: “From the tribe of Issachar, there were 200 leaders of the tribe with their relatives. All these men understood the signs of the times and knew the best course for Israel to take.” God had…

Tayo Oke The word, “palliative”, a nice medical terminology for the care of patients and their families with life-threatening illnesses has been in vogue of late. It has become rather overused in the last couple of months in reference to welfare provision for citizens in severe hardship. “Palliative” is the wrong word for welfare and social security benefits, because the recipients are not sick, neither should they or their families be deemed to be sick, or in some medical recovery. Government spokespersons and the media employ the term as a catch-all. It should not be. Now, if in a quick…

It is no longer news that many great Nations today, are being led or ruled by their worst. There are supposedly great Nations, and there are Nations that are still struggling to be great. In the case of the latter, no thanks to bad leadership. Many across the world today have come to terms with the fact that Nations like Germany, United States, Canada, China and Britain, are great Nations. It is undoubtedly that many people today don’t reckon with many African Nations as being great. Even though many believe countries like Nigeria, South Africa, Egypt, Algeria et cetera could…

The first task in proffering solutions to problems in leadership is to first and foremost, look within. Irrespective of the myriad of problems that any nation, organization, family or entity may be confronting per time, the solutions to those problems usually requires first, that the leaders of such entities look within, so that they can bring about a permanent solution to such problems. When I mean look within, it connotes a number of things. First, it means to look at the available resources and see how far those resources can help towards bringing about solution. Take for example a nation…

It is almost impossible to see Righteous Leadership  anywhere in the world. The phrase “Righteous Leadership ” only sounds beautiful in the ears, but almost unattainable. As we all may have come to realize already, that the vacuum in any society today is usually linked to bad leadership. Whether in Africa or in North America, Europe or in Asia; society vacuums are created by leadership vacuums. When leaders fail in their duties to do the right thing, it greatly have negative repercussions on the society. It would then seem that effective leadership have become the solution for every problem…
