Some might be wondering why all these are strong words being posted by me? Yes, it's significant process of having a dream of collecting as many as possible quotes! I started collecting quotes of Philosophers, eminent personalities etc. since I was in Secondary schools back in the 90's! My sources are through Newspapers, Books, anythings that quotations is on it! My dream is to put it together and publish it! But alas, I was born in Nigeria where there's a little chance of making it without 'the connected"! Through God's grace, I'm determined to put it down here as well as posting the photo and images of the souvenirs! God help me! 
 Watch-out !!!

A Challenge to The African Leaders (Nigeria's Example)

"Be a gift to everyone who enters your life, and to everyone who’s your life you enter. Be careful not to enter another's if you cannot always be gift (you can always be a gift, because you always are the gift-yet sometimes you do not let yourself know that)" . This quote was culled from the Conversation with God: Uncommon Dialogue. Volume 2 by Weale Donald Walsch ! The life we found ourselves in is a gift, we are a gift, I am a gift and your belief is what can make you a gift if you allow your faith to manifest! Since I discovered myself to be a gift to the world, I have been threading the path of positivism always! From the spirit of given wholeheartedly to the process of helping the helpless in whatever capacity I can! This process leads to why I will always be wondering why African leaders accumulating the wealth meant the entire populace for their personal use. There are times I think the gauntlet of truth must be unveil, alas there is no resources that star...

"WHEN A LOSS IS A VICTORY" - By Dr. Wladimir Klitchsko

At the end of April I competed against Anthony Joshua , and thereby took on the greatest of all challenges: In front of 90,000 spectators in a sold-out Wembley Stadium in London – as well as a TV audience of millions in more than 150 countries – I fought the fight of my life against the 28-year-old Englishman. I competed to conquer the best of the best. Sadly, I failed to achieve my goal. The outcome was that my opponent won the fight. But despite this, and however absurd it may sound, I also left the ring victorious. In the run-up, I was 100 percent certain that I would win the duel. I had prepared as well as I could and felt I was in the best form of my life; winning back the title of World Champion was my obsession. I gave it everything during the fight. I managed to get up several times after being knocked down. I was even able to send my opponent to the canvas. But, in the end, it was Anthony Joshua who struck the decisive blow and left the ring victorious. I failed to ...

Shujaa Ernest Graham- A Rare Gem!

By profiling a man like Shujaa Graham; I am just wondering where can we find a matching example here in Nigeria? What we are witnessing today, are just self-serving leaders, who are hellbent on trampling the common man's rights without blinking! We wakes up to lots of empty promises and all they preach is patience! Chief Obafemi Awolowo, of blessed memory spoke about the decay of public affairs, a year after independence! What was the reaction? It is rhetorical when many unanswerable questions are what we could tenders to the incoming generations! Say No To Injustice! Say No To Racial Segregation!! Together we can make the world a better place to live in!!! Happy reading! A man who has shown by example that you can stand up for what you believe, and be victorious if you stand up for what you believe. Shujaa Graham was born in Lake Providence, LA, where he grew up on a plantation. His family worked as share-croppers, in the segregated South of the 50s. In 1961, he ...
