THE MAN

THE MAN//

Man is a SPIRIT that lives in a BODY and has a SOUL (MIND).

The MIND is the centre of all emotions and thoughts because it archives all experiences of Man.

The BODY, a pliant and fragile structure, is a servant of the MIND. It responds readily to whatever it is fed by the mind, and produces the corresponding effects, good or bad, from it.

All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of whatever the MIND can generate. The MIND therefore has to be kept in a prestine condition, above slavish indulgence in order for a man to rise, conquer and achieve.

The mind is difficult to tame. The battle of the mind is difficult to win.

Here is the goodnews! Man has the SPIRIT as the other strong force that can interfere with what goes on in the mind and reshape the body.
But the man's spirit cannot operate in vacuum. It has to be connected to a higher source. There are two of these sources: Light or darkness.

To get connected to the LIGHT is to become born again.
When this happens, only the SPIRIT gets born again. The body and the mind are not born again. That's why the old thoughts and actions are often still evident in man. It will take a consistent renewal of the mind for a complete transformation to happen. The mind has to be consistently feeding from the NEW SPIRIT, and the more it feeds from it, the more old thoughts and habits are replaced in its archive by new, Godly, clean, positive and uplifting ones.

A man whose MIND has become filled with filth, so much that it gets out of sync with the BODY, and which cannot get the harmony restored by the SPIRIT, will eventually fall off and die.

Don't keep quiet

Evening rant:

What you abet flourishes. What you condemn gradually rot away and die.

The way you are unable to keep quiet when you see something amazing, let it be the same when you see something unpleasant.

Ineffective leadership, condemn it!
Religious yahooism,  condemn it!
Creative mediocrity, condemn it!

We have all kept quiet so much that evil has overtaken good, lies have triumphed over truth, and mediocrity has killed excellence.

Let us promote peace over war, hardwork over dishonesty, genius over foolishness.

Abet what you want to see flourishing and condemn what you want dead.

HUG ME- SQUEEZE AFFECTION OUT OF ME

If you want us to hug, please let us do it properly abeg. Me I don't like this sideways sumtin abeg. O childish gan!

To hug is to squeeze (someone) tightly in one's arms, typically to express affection.

If you cannot squeeze affection out of me, and I squeeze affection out of you, just let's kuku shake hands or wave to ourselves from a distance.

2017, no hypocrisy at all. C'mon squeeze somebori! Squeeze affection out of them like you squeeze water out of wet clothes.

Squeeze me! I squeeze you! That's how to hug.

WALLETS

I cringe anytime I come across men with bulky wallets that are overstuffed with paper stash, old receipts, school transcripts, bank cards, dead credit cards, tissue papers with telephone numbers and addresses written on them, condoms (used and new), coins, cut-out articles and job ads from newspaper, business cards, keys and other useless things.

IT'S A WALLET, NOT A CABINET for God sake! Se won f'eru se yin ni?!

Carrying a bulky wallet in any of your trouser pockets is tacky to say the least. For those who uses their front trouser pockets- it's even worse because the bulge makes them look like they are suffering from piles.

If you see these wallets sef na eyesore. Worn-out and filthy things!

So what does these wallets say about them? It says they live a cluttered and messy life, and they don't care about their appearance.

When you meet them while trying to make payment at the shopping tills you'll understand what i'm talking about. To start with, these men struggle to get their mobile cabinets out of their pockets. Then, they have to rummage through the trash to find the right card to make payment. O ma n ri enia lara sha!

Abeg after reading this, try to do something about this matter. Buy a new wallet, get rid of all those junks and carry with you only few items you need. GO SLIM. 

You see, aside the unsightly appearance you'll get rid off, there's also a health benefit to it.  Doctors advise not sitting on bulky wallet which causes leg numbness

APPEAR SHARP AND ORGANISED.

NB: For those of you who walk around with a Bluetooth headset on your ear all the time, i'm coming for you too. It should only be worn when talking on the phone and taken off when the call has ended.

Stop apologising

When you visit them at their homes//

Immediately after offering you a seat, they start to feel inadequate.
They begin to apologise to you that their place is small.
They start to tell you how they only plan to be there temporarily.

WHO ASK YOU? Ta lo bere ejo lowo yin?!

Your home is your home. Regardless of the size,  be happy and keep it NEAT. Be proud that you still have a roof over your head and can still keep up with the bills without begging.

Stop feeling like you are competing with anybody. What you have is what you have. You don't owe anybody any apology. Eniti o ya'ni lowo, ti ko de d'aso s'eni l'orun ko gbodo pe'ni l'arungun. Bo ba pe'ni l'arungun ija nla ni yio da. Whatever is going on in their minds can stay in their minds. They dare not mock you if they are not contributing to your existence.

Life is lived in stages. You must first learn how to stand before you can fly. Enjoy each stage and as you go through the process also grow through it.

Ba o ku ise o tan. You wey dey live inside one room today can still build mansion. Stop apologising for wetin no need apology.

Stop Benbrucing

- Hello Jide, I received your message but i don't get it. What do you mean by 'i should stop benbrucing?' I have never by heard such word before. Benbrucing?

- It simply means stop saying behind people's back what you cannot say in their presence. Don't discuss points that you are not bold enough to raise at the meeting on the staffs' group chats anymore. You are loud on the chat forum, you talk this and that, then on getting to the meeting where people who have the authority to implement things are seated, and you go dumb. Put your money where your mouth is. Your tough talks matter on the floor of the meeting not on the group chats forum.

- So because I decided not to talk or really get involved today at the meeting you are trying to call me a weakling or something? Don't I make common sense in other discussions?

- Other discussions where? My guy where should you make common sense? In the meeting or on the social forum? Oga Park well. Listen, awon enia o soro e daadaa nigboro o but I have to tell you the truth as a good friend. They are already not taking you serious anymore. Imagine the person who tackled the management today at the meeting to make them reconsider their decision to start charging staffs for the office internet. Ordinary Bosun. That scruffy Bosun. Yet he was very assertive and made them see reason why they should shelve the idea and they did immediately. You didn't say nothing! Mr common sense. Ore, try change your ways.

- Listen Jide, I have to make you get some things...

- Guy, guy...abeg I get plenty work on my desk. We go talk later abeg.

The missing 10% in the economy

The country is broke. There's no money in circulation. The country want to go and borrow.

The little that people earn can be accounted for in terms of household spendings, taxes and bank savings. All these means somehow pushes the money back into circulation.

But a certain % ends up somewhere weekly and monthly and does not come back into circulation because this somewhere is not a producing or productive part of the economy. So it only takes and don't give back.

While I think this somewhere has enough to bail out the country without the need to borrow, the country don't think or know so.

This is the sad part: A large chunk of the loan that the country is going to borrow will still end up in this somewhere and disappear as usual.
It's a vicious circle that need to be broken.

I'm not an economist or a qualified banker. I'm just benbrucing a probable area where the government is ignoring to consider when looking for missing money in circulation.

Hian Ekiti-6

In Ekiti accent:

(Child runs back home)

Mum: Nibo ni hian ti a r'ogede?

Child: Gomina ni hian mu ko mi.

Mum: Gomina wo? Abi hian ti bere si b'awon lo j'ako oloko?

Child: Gomina igbalode ni hian pin ko gbogbo wa ni sukuru.

Process, not result

I usually feel low when samples return from production and don't meet my expectation. It means time and effort spent in designing and money spent on production are all wasted. Much more difficult to deal with is the dashed hope caused by this miscarriage.

Back to the drawing board, i have to remind myself that it's all about the process and not the result. The result may not be favourable but there are positives in the process which I can build on to become better.

I have to remind myself to worry only about what I can control - which is the process. The outcome I expect is often independent to my control as I rely on some other people and factors to make it happen. If I dwell too much on the pain of the miscarriaged result, I might start to feel disappointed in myself - thinking I'm the problem and never want to try again.

The process is willing to offer me other smart options but I can become blinded to this if I dwell only on the outcome which hasn't worked out.

This approach is the same for me even when the results are what I was expecting. I don't get carried away in celebrating the success that I forget the need for continual improvement. I have to stay focused and committed to a change system which eventually will lead me to an efficient process which guarantees consistent extra ordinary results.

NB: This is truthfully my mood at the moment. Some things haven't gone right and I'm mulling over them. However, I thought sharing this publicly would help somebody out there too.

A Shift in focus and commitment to constant improvement on whatever you do are the main points of my message.

Have a good evening.

Blogging business 101

Bloggers different from bloggers.
Some Bloggers dey, na Google dey feed dem. Some dey, na dem dey feed Google from wetin dem chop remain.

Eniti o ba mo ibiti egbe ti nla, o ma sare ku ni. Asiri wa lowo awon ti asiri wa lowo e.

Google cannot be feeding you and you want to buy house in sugar island. Google sef no be fool...dey can't pay you enough to be changing your car every 6 months.

O ni lati wise up ko ma blog all your life away in Okokomaiko.

If you want to be a successful blogger, you need 'hit' money. That is, awon owo 'gbi' 'gbi 'gbi'. O le ma duro de omi ti won nfi cup bu fun e o. You need to dig yourself a BOREHOLE.

Je ki n ja e si: some people will vex with me for letting out this secret, but ko matter.

See, the story you share on your blog na viral stories. It's on 1000 other blogs. All of you are struggling for traffic. So Google go just share small small change for all of una.

If you wanna get 'hit' money, you need to find another means to dey collect CASH money from behind. Na the authentic money gangan be dat.

What do you have to do?

You need to become a snitcher.
Make friends with friends of people with influence.
Start sourcing for secrets from these people
When you get one juicy one, use a front to get in touch with the owner of the secret, who will tell them that a journalist is about to break a news about them but they have the option to pay to kill the story.
Don't worry, it's not blackmailing. It's just a journalist doing his/her job.
Bill them in foreign currency...dem go pay because of what they stand to lose. Na 'hit' money be dat.

If they refuse to pay, it's still a win-win situation for you. Go ahead and break the news on your blog. Your traffic go long from Lagos to Calabar.
Your respect level go high. You go begin take direct advert from top corporations not those small small ones Google place on your page. Na another source of hit money be dis.

Rinse and repeat. You go get money like sand.

Warnings:

- You need strong liver. Until you make am, you must not get emotion o.

- Don't be friends with people who are likely to be your source of hit money. The connection won't allow you to break stories about them.

- As you dey earn this money dey re-invest am. Short term investments with high yield. Buy items that can hold value and can be resold at profit. Watches, jewelries, leather goods...etc DONT KEEP THE MONEY IN THE BANK. Keep RE-USING IT.

- When the money don long, think of something permanent to set up because this thing no go dey go on forever.

- No tell anybody this secret. Just say you are a blogger and na God dey direct your traffic no be yellow fever.

If you make am, drop something for me too o. Na me show you the way o!

Don't abuse your body

There's a limit to how much abuse our body can bear.
Our body too have milage count.
Debauchery, bleaching, and fast living are easy means of racking up body miles that make us age quickly or die young.

It's normal to have challenges. Face it with reality rather than trying to evade it with alcohol and drugs. These are not solutions but dangerous activities that'll only lead to addiction and depression.

OLOSO Chronicles

Those ladies you see hanging around in that popular club wey dey Lagos island are called OLOSO. Although dem get Lekki as postcode, na 16 per room dem dey live. Na yahoo boys and stingy politicians wey dey knack under the influence of local herbs dey carry dem. They are paid what is known as 'thanks for coming' in local currency. The longest trip they can go is to the FCT, Abuja. Dey are desperate human beings and chronic debtors.

Oloso wey don upgrade her packaging with augmented boobie, bumbum and bleached skin na im dem dey refer to as HOELOSO. Na dem, dem dey carry go Dubai for weekend fellowship and shopping.

The ones wey really crase among dem, wey sabi do anal and corprophalia are called HOESLERS. Na those ones dey collect 'thanks for coming' in hard currencies.

The ones wey get stamina wellwell, wey sabi do 8-some, na dem dey follow dem go watch grandprix, and provide entertainment at the after party. These ones for their 'thanks for coming' dey get cars, accomodation rent money, designer shoes and bags, and cost of further cosmetic surgeries picked up by their bae.

The mixed-race and foreign-based ones na dem dey go London and Paris. The bae dey trust dem with im car keys, and can leave them alone at their home in London while im go about Im business.

Don't confuse Oloso with groupies. Even though the line of profession is similar, carreer paths are totally different.
Oloso no dey get belle anyhow. E no dey dier code of conduct because they still want to settle down and have a happy home in the future. For the present, they just want to make money and enjoy life, so their target customer is totally different from the groupies.

Groupies want fame and quick success. The quickest way to get these is to sleep with a music star and get belle. Then go on social media and announce to the guy to come and claim his pikin if he doesn't want thunder to kill him. As easy as that, dem done blow! Followers go increase. Dem go dey trend for every blogs. If the guy gree come collect the baby, dem don hammer be dat. Dem go dey collect free monthly upkeep money. If the guy na strong were and im no gree claim the belle, dem go abort am. Na bad market be dat. Dem go move  to the next target. 'Baby-mama' na profession to groupies and not a thing of shame.

UNHEALTHY COMPARISON

1 Sam 18: 7-9 "‎Saul had slain his thousands, and David his ten thousands."
This was the song those who congratulated David sang that created an enemy for him.

Why should somebody who just killed the biggest enemy of the nation, Goliath, be hated? This is caused by nothing else other than ‎UNHEALTHY COMPARISON.
‎
Unhealthy comparison births envy. Envy is a greater giant than Goliath. It destroys!
‎E‎nvious people c‎an’t celebrate anyone other than themselves. ‎Th‎ose that indulge themselves in envy ‎give place to the devil, and their heart is a prepared chamber for  wicked spirits to dwell. Where the spirit of envy is present, madness will be manifested. ‎Envious people are like raging bull. ‎Nothing is thought too precious to be sacrificed to envy. 

So when you see others being congratulated for whatever they have achieved, don't make them your enemies. Rather, ‎celebrate them and b‎e comfortable with the role God has given you. Don't let your ego set you on the path of destruction just like King Saul.   ‎
‎
Unhealthy comparison is also a sign of immaturity. 2 Cor 10: 12b ".....When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with themselves, they are not wise...."‎

This immaturity is caused by the lack of spiritual understanding of your God-given purpose. ‎
When you don't have this understanding, you'll always feel inadequate seeing s‎omebody else doing better than you and to‎ enjoy and complement their success will be difficult.‎

Ask God for a purpose of your own and be who God  created you to be. Understanding  your gifts and God-given purpose frees you from the need to measure yourself  by somebody else.  ‎
Success is not about being like somebody else, but about being the best you can be, and all God made you  to be.‎

This year brethren, shun unhealthy comparison and cultivate the habit of celebrating others.

THE MAN

THE MAN//

Man is a SPIRIT that lives in a BODY and has a SOUL (MIND).

The MIND is the centre of all emotions and thoughts because it archives all experiences of Man.

The BODY, a pliant and fragile structure, is a servant of the MIND. It responds readily to whatever it is fed by the mind, and produces
the corresponding effects, good or bad, from it.

All that a man achieves and all that he fails to achieve is the direct result of whatever the MIND can generate. The MIND therefore has to be kept in a prestine condition, above slavish indulgence in order for a man to rise, conquer and achieve.

The mind is difficult to tame. The battle of the mind is difficult to win.

Here is the goodnews! Man has the SPIRIT as the other strong force that can interfere with what goes on in the mind and reshape the body.
But the man's spirit cannot operate in vacuum. It has to be connected to a higher source. There are two of these sources: Light or darkness.

To get connected to the LIGHT is to become born again.
When this happens, only the SPIRIT gets born again. The body and the mind are not born again. That's why the old thoughts and actions are often still evident in man. It will take a consistent renewal of the mind for a complete transformation to happen. The mind has to be consistently feeding from the NEW SPIRIT, and the more it feeds from it, the more old thoughts and habits are replaced in its archive by new, Godly, clean, positive and uplifting ones.

A man whose MIND has become filled with filth, so much that it gets out of sync with the BODY, and which it cannot get the SPIRIT to restore the harmony, will eventually fall off and die.
