Do Not Judge People By Their Momentary Actions

I'd looked at some things, have studied them critically and came to the conclusion that when looking at individuals and trying to adjudge them for what they are, one consideration should be salient. The habit of someone's action is quite different from their character as a person. Sometimes what we do, the things we say and how we posit them seem to send a signal that impulse people to have a rather erroneous general view of who we are. It is to say that some people's yardstick of describing a person is on a particular action the individual does, which at the time may be cool or displeasing to them. This instantaneous show of attitude engraves on the viewer's mind the kind of personality he sees his object to be. Even as not entirely wrong this chip of the ice may be indicative of the iceberg, it would be a largely erroneous, very unfair analysis to lump in someone into a character or personality just because of a particular action he's shown. As humans, we ...

July 18: Between Mandela And Selfless Service

Image
Every 18th of July is marked as Mandela Day. The United Nations in its resolution in 2005 adopted the day which happens to be the birthday day of Nelson Mandela to celebrate this iconic figure and the many inspiring things he posit. Nelson was born in 1918 on this day. Mandela Nelson Mandela needs no introduction. He is a phenomenon ipso facto. He is a sort of movement by reason of what he had achieved. Nelson Mandela is one man that Africa could stand up for, for he reflected and deeply propagated the continent. A father figure, a hero, he is as regarded by compatriots, the Madiba. For much we know in the emerging new Africa, Mandela is a rallying force for the march to renaissance in the African struggle with the African spirit. He is the beacon of what is real and true democracy. In conceiving the Mandela Day, it is the principal interest of the united Nations to eulogize and immortalize the personality and noble values of Nelson M...

Our Universities: Of Beauties Without Brains

Around the universe, there abound works of creation that inspire wonder and elicit awe. But the human creation stand remarkably out. It is believed and scientifically proven that humans possess the biggest and most profound brain structure even as well as the most coordinated body shape and anatomy. Human beings are such artistic designs of beauty and intelligence. It is for this reason that man and woman are referred to as Homo sapiens- the succinct description of what is an intelligent, coordinated and distinctive being. The pursuit of man, as has been the case throughout the ages could be said to be centered on the subsistence and advancement of what makes him a human, different and separate from other creations. It is to improve his living conditions by inventive discoveries and self-development. This is seen chiefly in the pursuit of man to provide for himself the basic needs of life, to wit, food, shelter, clothing and education. For all that has been observed, it seems the...

Ahiara Diocese: The Defiance And The Pope's Supremacy

Image
It is with sorrow that I write this treatise, and this is because the church has consistently been plunged into ridicule by what is an unnecessarily lingering crisis. The insistence of the Catholic faithful in the diocese of Ahiara that they have the final say over the bishopric position of the diocese sends a stale wave which continuity seems just awful. Pope Francis Peter Okpaleke, the Anambra born priest chosen to head the church in Ahiara Mbaise, was appointed by the Emeritus Pope Benedict IX in the year 2012, and pathetic to this course, he has yet to assume the office suggested by his position since his appointment. The reason being that the Catholic faithful, whom he was to head and lead as chief shepherd, has refused to accept his person because he happens to be not one of them. Since the announcement of the choice of Okpaleke, the church in Mbaise has been in limbo, orchestrated by the crisis of nonacceptance that has seen priests display outright crudity, incivi...

N-Power: Beneficiary Commended For Honesty

Joshua Daniel, a beneficiary of the first phase of the N-Power programme of the federal government, has shown that there still abound people with conscience and integrity in a nation grappling with corruption. Daniel, from Taraba state, took a bold step, even in the face of the rippling economic downturn faced by Nigerians, to return his own mistaken share of the monthly stipend. He had concluded his program and so when he was credited for the months of June and July, he willfully returned them. This was revealed by the Acting President, Yemi Osinbajo in his twitter handle, who commended Daniel for his rare honesty. @ProfOsinbajo:  "A story of integrity. Daniel refunded payments of N-Power stipends credited to him for the period he had already disengaged from #NPowerNG..."
