The Church in Nigeria: Silent No More!
The nominal Christian population in Nigeria is approximately 80 million, traversing virtually all parts of our great country. It is widely suggested that Nigeria is home to the largest collection of black Christians in the world.

I lie down and sleep and all night long the LORD protects me. I am not afraid of the thousands of enemies who Surround me on every side.

This article is a case study of the “parable of the ten virgins” in relation to Preparedness.

A Grateful Heart
Somto hated Mathematics. He struggled with it in class almost every year. Despite my many attempts to help him improve his understanding of the basics, we just couldn’t make a headway. I would scream and be so impatient whenever I sat down to teach him; my wife and I even went ahead to get home […]
What’s Love Got To Do With It?
I don’t know what you think about when you think of love. Personally, I think of Westlife (aging myself here), and how a greater boy band may never exist. Westlife sang a LOT about love. Love they had lost; love they could not live without; love they were scared of losing. But one song […]
Laugh Your Way to a Better Marriage
Ladies, grasp your bonnets…or head-ties. Gentlemen, hold on to your suspenders. Your marriage is about to get lit! Open your bibles to the book of Romance Chapter 1. No, not Romans. Romance.
