Is anything too hard.....

The typical verse of the Bible I think shows the great power God has. Genesis 18:14. Had an awesome day. Started out reading for my tessss..., closed the test book. Read my Bible instead. Studied Genesis 18. Actually started a thing that would help me in my daily walk with God. I get to write out whatever he tells me through his word everyday. Done it today. And I can tell you, I learnt a lot. I meditated on the fourteenth verse of Genesis 18 and it was creative. Really, think about it, Is anything too hard for the Lord? when that sinks in, you have no worries as long as you obey his words. Now the fact is that I didn't prepare adequately for the test. I desired that it be shifted, I prayed and it came to be. I kind of expected it and it somehow fell into place. I didn't mention that the Leadership and Management training of the NAPTIN programme started today. It did. It was facilitated by the Abuja Graduate School. I had not heard about them till today. Th...

Still. I learn.

I'm still on training. Training at the National Power training Institute of Nigeria. I appear tired of the programme, I must say. Not that the programme isn't good but about the one who conducts it and the way it's been conducted. I've put in a year, ignored a business development job offer at an oil and gas firm and......whew! experienced a training that seems like I'm been done a favour when I'm required to pay. Not frustrated or anything. Working to learn seems to be the top priority here. I've learnt. Still learning and knowing about the sector. Everything is important I hear. But then, the work environment, a normal trademark for every government establishment I have seen(Fashola seems to be changing that of Lagos though) is horrendous. I shiver at the thought of  working there. Smiles are not encouraged in such environments. Did I tell you about my trip to Niger and Abuja on different occasions to write an exam and interview later for a positi...

Two Seven

Its another year. I'm a year older today (18.05.2013). Its a different tale from last year's. I should look back, reflect on my life, things I have been doing right, things I haven't been doing right, things that needs to be improved upon and things that needs to be reduced. I'm not proud of where I am now. I give thanks though, don't get me wrong but I know I'm going somewhere. I'm not yet there. I remember placing my hands on the railings of the verandah at the Ansar-udeen Secondary school block, just outside the principal's office. I remember I made a statement. I'll be instrumental in bringing light to this town, Okeho, a village in Oyo state, about 45km away from Iseyin where the National Youth Service Corp's Orientation ground is located. I had been posted there. I didn't stay. Some nostalgic feelings still linger. Little did I know, that thought would be nursed for a while. I was sitting in a class. About four chairs away from th...
