Angel Scroll: Don't tell me...what is not ...Love is not stupidity!

 Valentine's season is here again and love is in the air! Here comes the season where some persons take advantage of the other persons. They show love only during this season and once the season ends it becomes "Ordinary time". This is the time we all remember what the bible says about love in 1 Corinthians 13. 

The colour of the season is white and red, while white point towards purity and holiness, the red points toward sacrifice and self giving (martyrdom). The symbol is heart sometimes pierced with arrow or sometime bandaged with red. Don't get carried away it is not just a design it is a message for you.

To love at all requires purity of heart from the two persons this involves their sincerity, tolerance and patience for each other. This will propel the sacrifice and self giving from the two persons. The pros and cons of  consensual sexual intercourse illustrate the description of love but it is not limited to it infact love doesn't really depend on sex and sex too doesn't mean love, it is just an illustration on what love is, so don't allow yourself to be fooled that sex equate love.

Love is a relationship and it is expected to be mutual and even if is not mutual it is expected to be recognized and appreciated. Recognition and true appreciation always come with an attempt to reciprocate the good gesture with actions that please the person who initiates love. This is why we have to always try to please God all the days of our lives because to us God has shown love in its abundance.

Love is about values and about positive influence, despite the sacrifices and self giving it radiates happiness and peace of mind. Love is Godly and so it is not stupid nor blind.

Hence, if you are in a "situationship" that is "unGodly", one sided with element of vices, and it causes headache and high blood pressure to you,  my brethren heed the voice from the angel "I say unto you flee from the devil".

In case you are still fasting and praying for such "situationship" to lead to marriage for whatever reason but God is not answering. I wonder what you want him to say after he has given you wisdom, knowledge and understanding to choose between life and death. 

God's grace is ever suffient for us...

Happy Valentine's day.

The Nigerians Hypocrisy : A Case Study of Arotile's mourners

No doubt Nigeria has a soft spot for its feminine patriots on the surface especially when you put your curves on display often, you will always enjoy empathy at the time of misfortune. The fact that women are still not on the same pedestal with men in this country is a fact forget noise making from the pro-feminism sisters . The fact that all animals are not equal is a reality. How many Nigerians actually know that the likes of Tolulope Arotile's exist within our shore? Probably only those in Nigerian Air Force and those of us who have watched the video from the Nigerian Air Force show casing her and her partner before now have an idea about her person. No doubt Tacha and Mercy are very much popular than her and her colleague. Then you ask yourself what do we celebrate as a people? What do we promote as a Nation?

The announcement of her death by NAF raised a lot of consciousness about her personality. Without much consideration for the event that led to her death the public agreeably assumed that she was murdered. The submission too was out of our hypocrisy as a people because how many of those with that submission bother to ask how and why they think so. One good thing about Nigerians is the ability to make noise about everything but do nothing about things that radiate values.

You would have taught that #InvestigateArotile'sdeath would have still be trending? So soon that the topic has changed and our new subject of discussion is #BBN lockdown with #Dorathy in focus.

Wait a minute you mean this is how this country will forget Tolupe Arotile the terrorist slayer at the expense of new slay queens from BBN lockdown? Where are those protesters supporting politicians on trials for corruption? Where are the pro feminism supporters club that often lead hastag whenever a female become a casualty? Has late Tolulope suddenly become a male that they feel it doesn't matter for them to lend a voice and call for investigation or call for her to be immortalized. The same people calling Dbanj names over rape allegation yet to be substantiated. 

As youth of this country do we really care about ourselves? Yes she might have been fortunate to have become a helicopter pilot at 23 for NAF when some are still struggling with admission process and others looking for jobs, that does not rule out the fact that she is a young adult. How come National Youth Council of Nigeria - NYCN don't claim to have known her, when her and her contemporaries in the war front with terrorists are symbols of young patriotism. What of the state of her origin have they claimed her, demanded investigation too or plan to immortalize her? Is it because she is not a celebrity that will add flavor of entertainment to campaign ground? What of the various women groups that wanted the head of  Senator Abbo on a plate for beating a woman in sex toy shop? They are on lock-down staying safe so they have no comment too. 

It has suddenly become our culture to close eyes to what matters and dwell on things without substance. How do I explain to a little girl in the nearest future that there was once a girl called Tolupe Arotile with this high level of hypocrisy bedeviling our sense of judgement. As individual we need to withdraw from popular position and opinions and champion course that promotes values.

May her soul and the souls of those who have suffered Martyrdom for the unity of this country rest in peace. Amen

Ash Wednesday 2020 - A time to really wear black!

On Ash Wednesday, it is always easy to know the Catholics or people that attend orthodox churches in your neighborhood. They are always easy for you to spot on the street with ash on their fore heads. People outside the faith see this symbol as a mark of identification of faith while the people who wore the ash know it is a reminder of the 'worthlessness" of life.

To the Catholics, black is not to good a color that is why the color purple is often in use in place of black. Then why will the Catholics in Nigeria resolve to wear black on Ash Wednesday instead of the traditional purple? The people of God in her leaders chose to wear black for the following reasons;

To protest the loss of innocent lives as a result of Religious killings that have refuse to stop despite the public outcry.

To as well mourn the dead especially victims of issues emanating from insecurity in the land.

To remind us all, once more of the famous quotes "Vanities upon vanities all is vanities" and "You are dust and unto dust you shall return"

This singular act is expected to speak to us as individual on the need for repentance and a call for good deed as a person for a better society as whole.

As a society it is a reminder for us to value human lives and a call to protect human lives and rights.

For the Government it is a reminder that the people have lost confidence in its duty to protect them from insecurity be deviling the land.

May God heal our land.

Amen

Streetwise with angel - Please Save Nigeria;Vote right! Vote conscientiously!

Winners of elections in Nigeria are predictable because we already have this conception that our votes don't count due to various electoral malpractices over the years. It is also as a result of our belief system in the concept of 'anointed candidate'. Nigerians pattern of voting is 'one-way ' traffic; often times we forget to critically assess the candidates and the post they are vying for. Subconsciously, we follow the dictates and the wish of 'political elites'. This is why the problem of leadership continue to threaten us as a nation.

Political parties pay little or no attention to their ideologies, philosophies and their manifestos, they are only interested in gaining power. Hence, political parties too can not clearly state what they tend to offer to the citizenry if they gain power. The only assurance they give is that "we will deliver" without clearly stating the deliverable to expect.  Political parties do not have objective criteria and yardsticks in electing their own flag bearer, so they often come out with an 'anointed candidate'or the candidate that pays the bills using the phrase 'consensus candidate' as a camouflage. If the parties  play on the electorates' intelligence by organizing a 'kangaroo primary' where the 'anointed candidate' still emerge. This is why most political parties recycle the same set of candidates every four years.

During the election we are always left with 'the good, the bad and the ugly', Nigerians don't believe in the fact that they can actually vote in a credible leader, they will rather vote 'the ugly' to despite the candidate they perceived as the bad one. In Nigeria, debates, manifestos and the antecedent of candidates contesting don't really matter provided that they have been 'anointed'.Come to a state in Nigeria where you become a Governor once you are 'loyal' to the 'Landlord'and you become a political party flag bearer, go to another state where you gain power the moment you are loyal to the dynasty.

Even to win an election in Nigeria as a whole you need the 'ex-generals' support, 'the go-ahead of traditional rulers', the attestation from international communities' 'the is ok of businessmen' and 'the anointing of religious leaders'. Once,  you have been endorsed by all of the above,  worry less about the actual electorates they don't have a choice. They will either vote for you or rig for you even if you are the 'worst' of the candidates contesting for the same office.The electorates often end up voting for a less credible candidate because of the notions that the credible ones will not win. The arguments are based on the endorsement above and the inability of credible candidates perceived 'good" to harmonizes their thoughts and come out strong together. Hence, an average electorate is not interesed in "wasting" his/her vote, he/she will end up voting for the 'anointed candidate' or to whom the majority for .

If the situation remains what it is, the problem of bad leadership may persist, Nigerians need to appraise political parties based of their philosophies, the ideologies they are offering and assess their flag bearer based on factual antecedent. More so, debates for aspirants should be taken seriously by electorates as one of the ways to be sure of what aspirants are promising based on their comments and body languages.


Finally, when it is time to vote the electorates will have to look beyond the political parties and dissect the personalities to be voted for. This becomes necessary because for you to vote conscientiously there is a need for you to be convinced that your preferred candidate is someone you can entrust with your future and know that you will bear the burden of his actions or inactions at least for the next four years. It will be foolish of you to vote based on a candidate's popularity or based on religion and tribal inclination.


You need to vote for people based on what they have done, and what they say they will do. You need to get a bit personal, do a check on their profile to adjudge how humane they are and their perspective for rule of law. To be conscientious while voting, at the end of your assessment your preferred candidate is the option you must attest to at the polling booth without inducement. Please save Nigeria; vote right! Vote conscientiously!
