Weapons of Mass Destruction

Bloodshed all over! hear the noise of guns, Alongside bomb explosions. Demolition, devastation and plundering of property, Ravaging, ruining and desolating nature, Human mass slaughter, merciless torture All in the name of peacekeeping, All in the mad search for weapons of mass destruction. Weapons of mass destruction are not in the crevices and dungeons of Iran and Iraq, Weapons of mass destruction are in the heart. Hatred is a weapon of mass destruction,  For a spoon in the hand of an enemy is much deadlier than a nuclear bomb in the hand of a friend. Power hunger is a weapon of mass destruction, Selfishness is a weapon of mass destruction. Tribalism is a weapon of mass destruction, Racism is a weapon of mass destruction. Grudges are weapons of mass destruction, Jealousy is a weapon of mass destruction. Weapons of mass destruction are not made of metals and chemicals, Weapons of mass destruction are not harbored in the armory of a country somewhere, Weapons of mass destruction a...

POEM ON CORRUPTION

CORRUPTION! CORRUPTION! CORRUPTION! Corruption what an epidemic on our nation! Slowly but surely eating up the nation Looming every institution Hospitals, universities, colleges, ministries, name it all No service without payment wherever you go The poor getting poorer each day The rich getting richer in everyway Corruption, a cancer in our nation Corruption based on the fatal virus money Money worshipped, blinding the politicians and the saints Filling the civil servants round pot-bellies The judiciary not spared by the virus either Misjudging to judge due to corruption The police policing real corruption in operations As crime grows and criminals worshipped! Corruption growing as the next generation watches Shameless the old grooming the young, into corruption Leading by example of corrupt scandals Corrupt elections, corrupt tenders, corrupt leaders Poor salaries, UMEME blackouts, Drugless hospitals Pot-holed roads, Poor services name it man,...

TAKE ME BACK TO SCHOOL

I want to go back to school for here my heart is Forlorn, I want to go back to school where I can find my love for books. Where I can find my People, Where I can together with books With friends clucking by my bedside like chicken   I want to go back to school for here meaning is lost, I want to go back to school where my muscles stretch over the desks, Teachers’ voices screaming all over the class Providing sense into my brains, Learning and gaining confidence in my heart   I want to go back to school; here all roots are rotting, I want to go back to school, Where deep in the books, I run after the good performance I want to go back to school, where I will wade in water bathe in knowledge. Dance at the achievement and pray to the sky.

THE ACTIVITY MATRIX

Image
In addition to the planning methods you have, I would like to recommend a system of setting priorities which is called, the activity matrix. In this matrix, we try to show people from different work spaces how to put first things first. How do you set priorities?  Read ahead and learn how it works and try it out. It consists of four quadrants, Q1 to Q4 as illustrated below. What is important and urgent to one person may not be for everyone. You are free to set up your own according to your situation. Important and urgent, Q1 This is called the fire fighting quadrant. You deal with a problem as though you are fighting a fire. If you do not, the fire will burn you up. It is about issues which if not dealt with will attract immediate consequences. This happens to all of us. There are times when we deal with stuff as it comes or according to the pressure with which it comes. In this quadrant, you are driven by pressure in order to act. These are activities where you cannot help it. You...

SURRENDERING ALL

Partial Obedience or Total Obedience, what would you prefer? God our creator requires us so totally submit ourselves to Him and wholeheartedly worship him living no room for anything to take the place of God in our lives. The Bible in Exodus says Do not worship idols. "(Exodus 20:5)" Idols are anything that take the place of God in your life or anything that you prefer to do before taking time to concentrate on God. An idol could be house chores or even just a newspaper, anything you are addicted to. A fellow human being can become your idol. You can also make an idol of yourself by putting your belief in either yourself or any other human being. This happens when we attribute our success to ourselves forgetting that God is the most important part of the equation. Turning to mortals (fellow men and women) in times of need and basing our trust in them to solve our challenges is another form of idolatry.   Today we are looking at total submission to God, surrendering ever...
