The lost minutes and hours of yesterday might have affected your today, but brooding and having constant reminders over them cannot build your tomorrow. So, why waste the time available today on guilt trips that would worsen your situation? Today is a reality. It has come and it will go. The greatest regret would be allowing your minutes and hours of today, to go the way of the losses of yesterday. Grace and peace!!! 14/08/22

Anybody rationalizing failures, can never reach the peak of success in any endeavor. 28/07/22
Insanity is not just fitting the descriptive frame of a mad person living in the open without clothing. The insanity in a person begins when one's conscience to truth is dead, joins the crowd that sees and knows the truth, but decides to align with lies and evil over an obvious truth or good. Grace and peace!!! 14/07/22

There is still a political myth I want someone to help me unravel. How does somebody want to become a President without having the courtesy to vote for himself?
Dr. Ogbonnaya Onu is the true son of his Father. Onu might not win the Presidential ticket of the APC but he spoke to truth. That is a man. Grace and peace!!!
It is an irony that now that countries are reaping dollar rains from crude oil, Nigeria, a huge resourced environment is faced with increased petroleum pipelines vandalism, crude theft, borrowing to fund budget, etcetera.

No amount of hunger will make them approach a perceived enemy to beg for food. And you call that pride? 11/05/22
A country in which the educated bribe the uneducated to get elected into an elective office cannot develop beyond the lid of the uneducated. A country that the uneducated becomes the internally generated tax collector of the state, on behalf of the educated cannot achieve any greatness beyond paper economy. 06/05/22
Merely changing the cover of a book without changing the content of that book has not changed the book. 06/05/22
If anyone had the illusion that changing PMB and the Governors alone will change the course of our turbulent sail away from the shore, that person needs a rethink. 06/05/22
Few days ago, as part of my eulogy to Eguavoen and our Super Eagles, I wrote, 'Though history has not been kind to us each time we made a clean sweep of the first round matches, I believe it is not a jinx and therefore, players should not allow this play a trick on their psyche... Tunisia will be angry over what happened to them last night, will change tactics and we must be ready to technically counter what they would project.' Hmmmmmm Grace and peace!!! 23/01/2022
If poverty led anybody to steal, when such people get into political offices, they will also steal from the people. Grace and peace!!!14/02/2022
A Minister that failed in his mandates under a President that did not interfere or meddle in how a Minister runs a ministry, should have no business occupying any more executive or elective seats from 2023. Nigerians should be bold to ask each Minister questions of accountable leadership, tangible and intangible achievements to merit further investments on them by Nigeria. Grace and peace!!! 21/04/22
We are here writing, calling attention and empathy to the plights of Russians and Ukrainians. Unfortunately, there have been stories of our black brothers and sisters being asked to disembark from buses and trains ferrying whites to safety and leaving blacks stranded in the cold. No African will behave that way. Humanity has lost its very essence over color. Sad!!! 28/02/22
When good is silent in the face of failed promises and absurdities within the democratic space, good becomes a deodorant, which robes evil good perfume to thrive. Grace and peace!!!
