Do we each have one? Does life have a purpose? Where should we derive meaning in life? "One of life’s most enduring mysteries is that of human destiny. Many a philosopher have debated whether it’s an invention of human thought or if our long-standing curiosity is a mechanism of evolution (creation in process) designed to propel humanity forward. Regardless of what you believe, what seems to be universal is the calling by your soul to fulfill your personal destiny once you awaken enough to hear it." -JOHNNY STORK

Its really been a very long time and I have missed writing to you my readers so much, even at some point I thought I may never be able to make a post for a very long time for it has actually been tough and rough from the unset of 2018, lost of value, disagreements, misunderstandings, arguments, and lots more of odd cases that took strength and tears from me, at some point I asked myself lots of odd questions and wanted to give up on a lot of things and people but all of a sudden, my strength was renewed, I felt relieved and free from all of the odd happenings around me, why? What brought that sudden strength and hope, I asked myself, was it my lust for this life or my love for it. Lust and love usually seems similar but are very different in their own separate ways. One is an obsession, like an hungry lion, prepared to devour anything on its way, while the other is sacrificial, hope, freewill, embracing, believing, trust, meek, gentle, passionate, and forgiving. I found one and un...

And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground , and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life and man became a living soul (Gen 2:7). The formation of Man the unique being, life itself. Trying to understand life, what it is, what it entails, its purpose, its concept, and so on, i realised life itself is we humans, Man is the life we speak of, we are life, life is what we live here on the surface of earth. No wonder every single good or evil that takes place here on earth is attached to a being. Adolf Hitler is remembered for the world war II, Steve Jobs is remembered for making the unique technology called Apple, Abraham Linco ln  is known to be one of the greatest president America ever had, who wanted to make everything right, Nnamdi Azikwe , Obafemi Awolowo , Fela Anikulapo Kuti , Sheuh Shagari , Osama Bin Ladin , Sadamm Hussein , Mohammed Ghadaffi and so many more all have one thin in common and that is life, death and Memories. We remember this people ...

 Unhealthy environments are responsible for one-quarter of young child deaths, according to two new reports from the United Nations health agency, which reviewed the threats from pollutants such as second-hand smoke, UV radiation, unsafe water and e-waste. According to the latest information, polluted environments take the lives of 1.7 million children under the age of five. “A polluted environment is a deadly one – particularly for young children,” said Margaret Chan, Director-General of the UN World Health Organization (WHO). “Their developing organs and immune systems, and smaller bodies and airways, make them especially vulnerable to dirty air and water.” In one of the two reports, Inheriting a Sustainable World: Atlas on Children's Health and the Environment , WHO announced that many of the common causes of death among children aged between one month and five years of age are preventable with safe water and clear cooking fuels. These include diarrhoea, malaria and pn...

A time to be born and a time to die,  A time to smile and a time to cry,  A time to speak and a time to be quiet,  A time to embrace and a time to chasten,  A time to gather and a time to scatter,  A time to whisper and a time to shout,  A time to rise and a time to fall, A time to see and a time be blind,  A time to listen and a time to be dumb,  A time to sing and a time to weep,  A time to eat and a time to fast,  A time to work and a time to rest,  A time to sow and a time to reap,  A time to  love and a time to hate,  A time to act and a time to watch,  A time to give and a time to take, A time to move and a time to stop, A time to sit and a time to stand, A time to crawl and a time to run, A time for all and a time for none. Life itself is time, we live according to it and effects are taken on our lives based on how attention is given to time. We all get to mak...

How often have you come across or seen a house, car, plane or ship without a window? My guess is "very not often" that is if there is at all. No matter how great a building is, how beautiful it may be and how large it is, a window or windows are always installed on it. Alright, I'm having a unique feeling about this, so let's take a quick meaning to what the Window is. A window is an opening in a wall , door , roof or vehicle that allows the passage of light and, if not closed or sealed, air and sound. Waooooo, what a lovely symbol it is. Alright, now let's see its origination. The English language word window originates from the Old Norse 'vindauga', from 'vindr – wind' and 'auga – eye', i.e., wind eye. in Swedish the word vindöga remains as a term for a hole through the roof of a hut. So the Window clearly originates from the word vindauga which means wind and eye. Now to you and how the window relates to you. The creator also plac...

What makes life so worth living is the reality of death in it(life). Death in life, life after death. There is death here on earth and everything that lives will surely die according to the scientists, for that the major characteristic of life. Today, I write not to tell you about death here on earth for I believe every reasonable being should know its appointed to Man to die, even though we have heard of so many people who have gone round the world searching for a way to live forever, well I hope they find that which is not lost. I write these beautiful morning to tell you how important what men say at your tomb stone is, for there is a life after death. I quote the great teacher in the scripture St. John 11: 25-26 "Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life:he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believeth thou this? Here the preacher is informing the woman whom He addresses about ...

This is the real equality before the Law, the perfect judge, "for it is appointed to man to kick the bucket once". Your status will never stop it from picking you, your background wouldn't stop it, your intelligence can never outsmart it(as we know greater minds have been here once and have passed on) ,it takes when the right time comes and the right time in which we happen not to know of is what makes it " The August Visitor" it comes like a thief,unexpected, unprepared for virtually 98% of those whom it has paid the visit. I indulge you, to make your world a better place, touch lives, make impacts, be prepared, live life just as if the August Visitor will be coming tomorrow, embrace all, embrace life,do that which you think is for tomorrow today. You want to be remembered by your environment after you are gone, you want men to miss you when you are there no more, you want a monument for your self, I know that. So, live a life worth it, a life full of confiden...

LIFE : how is it defined? Over time and ages, man has given different definition for it, ranging from the scientific, to the philosophy, and The personal Experience meanings. Looking at it, and trying to place a word to classify it, I say life is a "RACE". What is a Race? Isn't it a competition you have to work and prepare very hard for, so as to finish as the best. How you prepared and trained for the race, the hardship you had to pass through, the injuries you had which at one point wanted you to give up and quit the race, and the sacrifices you made, No one really wants to know about that , all they care about is seeing you finishing best in the race, then later they will be inspired by your success in the race and would love to hear about how you made it. Life is of no difference to that race, we all are a partaker of it, so its left to you, to make your preparations, sacrifices, and never to give up. Life wants you to strive hard, so has to know its value.
