Tributes to Nigerians


Tributes to Nigerians
Who lived to fight
But died at bullets sight
For justice, for equity
For change, for betterment

Tributes to Nigerians
Whose smiles suffer them
And their cries are never heard
Who suffers for daily bread
While deep inside, they bleed

Tributes to Nigerians
Who wake up early to sleep late
Hawking for bread, hustling in stress
Working, but worked out
Striving, but starved to death

Tributes to Nigerians
Who did not place religion above man
But places man above religion
Who are their brother’s keeper
Who honours the difference in others

Tribute to Nigerians
Whose friends betrayed and colleagues dismayed
In prisons and cell blocks for no offense
Praying yet; yet prayed for their foes
Men of valour, buried without honour

Tributes to Nigerians
Who saw fraudsters and liars of politicians
And were brave enough to stand their feets
Not corrupt by lies, not swayed by bribes
Who in truths hunger, hunger to fight for truth

Tributes to Nigerian
Who in service were cheated
But refused to be cheaters
Who stood for loyalty, but bullied for honesty
Who saw change and were courageous to change

These rules are not 100% sure but they serve to be a guide in minimizing our excesses in what we want from others. It helps prioritize our wants from our needs in a relationship without deception to the self; making us to cherry-pick the best that we want and we don’t want, so that healthy relationship can be ensured. If we are able...

RELIGION

I am a Christian to the extent that I concur with Saint Paul in saying, “And if I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge and have not love, I am nothing”.   I am a Buddhist to the extent that I realize, with Gautama, that only when a man forsakes all his desires is he really free. I am a Jew to the extent I believe profoundly in the saying. “ Hear, O Isreal, the Lord our God is one.” I am a Hindu to the extent of believing and practicing the kingly science of Yoga, the science of Union with the spiritual Self. I am a Mohammedan to the extent that I rely on Allah above all else. And finally, I am a follower of Lao-Tzu to the extent that I accept his perception of the strange paradoxes of life. I will not walk with Christians into an exaltation of truth above what Christ teaches, those words that have life and death in them. I will not walk with a Buddhist into a denial of the beauty and pleasure which existence holds for me. I will not walk with Jews ...

Why do you love breaking God’s heart?

Sometimes in our life we never wanted sin as a whole; all we wanted was to have a fun-time of our own – to enjoy the pleasures of this world without falling into traps- the pleasure comes and here we are falling into the deep well of sin again. Finally we break God’s heart another time. Why do you think you break God’s heart knowing for sure that you knew he loved you so much? Why do you just fall into those acts carelessly or enticingly after many days of asking for forgiveness? Why do you think you just feel like having your way despite knowing, it will hurt God so bad? Why do you love breaking God’s heart? The first time you gave your life to Christ you were overfilled with quantum leap of joy. You asked for forgiveness of your past sins; days to come you acted a clean script of God’s plan for your life and some days more you wanted that old thing- some pleasure for the moment hoping God forgives. He forgave, but only that he was so much dis...
