It is not how many times you say “I love you”



It is not how many times you say “I love you” or how many times you visit each other that will determine how much you love each other, but how many sacrifices you can make to prove your love no matter the circumstances of life.

悲 歡離合 .Joys and sorrows, partings and reunions are daily occurrences in the vicious circle of life.


The one who hardly visits you may even love you more than the one who visits you frequently.

The one who has not even pronounced "I love you" to you may love you more than the one who has said so many times in eye service and lip service.

It is really very easy to know the person who truly loves you.

Actions speak louder than words.

As our Lord Jesus Christ said, by their fruits you shall know them.

Cheating: To forgive is possible, but to forget is impossible




Forget all the hypocritical clichés on forgiving and forgetting.

To forgive is possible, but to forget is impossible, except you are suffering from amnesia.

Your brain keeps records of the experiences of your life and you cannot delete them by wishing them away.
You have to learn to live with them for life.

Honestly, I can only forgive if the offender is truly repentant.

There is no forgiveness without repentance.
That is why our Lord and Messiah Jesus Christ warned us to REPENT OR PERISH.
So, except you really repent, you will perish.
Only God knows when, where and how.
So, the sooner you repent the better, healthier and safer you would be.

Personally if I catch my woman or wife in adultery and she repents, I will forgive her. But there is no way you can delete it from your memory.

The grave consequences of infidelity are life-threatening, because the offenders can go as far as plotting to eliminate you to cover up and continue their infidelity.

The woman is to blame in infidelity, except she is a victim of rape.



There is no excuse for infidelity if you truly love your partner.

If you no longer love your partner or you are tired of your relationship or marriage, the wise thing to do is QUIT.
QUIT AND THEN YOU ARE FREE TO DO AS YOU WISH AND NOBODY CAN ACCUSE YOU OF INFIDELITY.


But when you are stabbing your partner in the back, you are actually killing him or her.

To save your life, get rid of the offender before he or she kills you.

The world is a battle field, and we are all fighting for survival in a hostile planet.

It is better to lose your lover than to lose your life.

My dear Nigerian girls and ladies


Beautiful Nigerian maiden by Grace Bernard

My dear Nigerian girls and ladies

Lest we forget, not all girls are ladies.
That said, let me PLEASE, and appeal to you one more time,
It is good to love and have fun, but PLEASE, DO SO WITHOUT LOSING YOUR DIGNITY, INTEGRITY AND NOBILITY AND NOT BEHAVING LIKE DOGS.
God made every woman to be the virtuous woman, but majority of them have rewired themselves to become promiscuous and unscrupulous women who do not care about the dignity, integrity and nobility of womanhood.
Our beautiful daughters, sisters, aunts and mothers deserve RESPECT and we should TREAT them with dignity as not seen and used as sex objects.
You should be controlled by your brains and not by money and sex.
You should be ruled by your intellect and not by your animal instinct.
You humans created in the beautiful and wonderful image of God and not animals.
So, do comport yourselves as God made you beautiful, powerful and wonderful helpmate for men.
Be a blessing to your family and society and not a curse.
Make us proud and not disgraced.
You must reject everyone who sees you as a sex object.
YOU ARE NOT A SEX OBJECT, BUT AN OBJECT OF BEAUTY, DIGNITY, INTEGRITY AND NOBILITY AND A GREAT BLESSING TO HUMANITY.

Sing and share this all time classic song by
Juliana Aquino

I’m So Glad That I’m A Woman lyrics

In the morning when I wake up
As I comb my hair
I can hear my daddy saying
It’s a big big world out there
While putting on my make-up
His words linger in the air
Just use the love I gave you
And you can make it anywhere

I’m so glad that I’m a woman
I know I wouldn’t trade
I know I got it made
We’re the life line of mankind
And now is the time for me

Life is such a challenge
Live it day by day
You never know what’s gonna happen
A what might come your way
Just stop and think about it
There is nothing we can do
They can’t live without us and
We can’t live without them too

Dear Aisha, It started yesterday in Juba




Dear Aisha,
It started yesterday.
One of the most prophetic Sundays in Southern Sudan, but will the skies no longer be gloomy in Darfur?
I know that David must be happy for you.




The lanky Senator John Kerry and George “the debonair” Clooney were there. They flew all the way from America to witness the making of history. The week-long independence referendum to free your people of the south from the shackles Khartoum. They joined the crowds sweating in the heat of the Sunday sun. January 9, 2011, will be an unforgettable day in the history of southern Sudan.


Nobody seemed tired of standing in the long queues as they were waiting to cast their votes in the last leg of the long march to freedom.
The harrowing nightmares of the horrifying and terrifying years of the rampaging devils on horsebacks will no longer haunt your people?


Dr. Halima Bashir will no more drink from the pool of the tears of the desert and the sleepless nights of Daoud Hari The Translator of the years of the wrath of the Janjaweed of Omar Hassan Ahmad al-Bashir will no longer linger?


For the vultures will no longer be overfed with the carcasses of your people littering the ravine of Jebel Marra, because their corpses will no longer be left unburied.


“This is the moment the people have been waiting for,” said Southern president Salva Kiir as he was rejoicing in Juba yesterday.


Omar Bashir is kicking and cursing, because he has lost the battle and his northern region will be dependent on the over 75% of oil in the south and hoping he will not siphon it as it passes the northern pipeline to the sea.


But will the referendum will bring succor to Darfur?
Not until the rest of the world can read the secret letters from Darfur.
The testimonies of the agonies of the bereaved ones who have been scarred for life from the Massaleet to the Zagawa communities in the land of the Fur


May the overflowing joys of the new dawn wash away the ashes of the sorrows of the past. For the people of Juba shall be redeemed like the children of Judah.

Then will the LORD be jealous for his land, and pity his people.

Yea, the LORD will answer and say unto his people, Behold, I will send you corn, and wine, and oil, and ye shall be satisfied therewith: and I will no more make you a reproach among the heathen:

But I will remove far off from you the northern army, and will drive him into a land barren and desolate, with his face toward the east sea, and his hinder part toward the utmost sea, and his stink shall come up, and his ill savour shall come up, because he hath done great things.

Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the LORD will do great things.

Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.

Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with wine and oil.

And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpillar, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the LORD your God that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel and that I am the LORD your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.

The Top Baby Names of 2010 Revealed

LONDON, December 31, 2010/PRNewswire/ -- Katie and Amy have fallen out of the list of the top 20 female christian names, it emerged yesterday (30th January 2010).

The monikers of troubled stars Katie Price and Amy Winehouse have been replaced by prettier and less infamous names, Maisie and Isabella.

The highest climber in the list of the most popular girls' names in the UK today is Bella, due in no small part to the lead character in Twilight, played by actress Kristen Stewart. Lacey, as in EastEnders actress Lacey Turner, is also on the up, soaring from number 57 up to 37. Florence is also becoming increasingly popular, moving up 33 places, as is Maisy.

Olivia is still top after 3 years and Sophie is still second. Lily is now third, up from 8th place, with Emily and Ruby completing the top five.

In the boys list Jack has finally been bumped off top spot by Oliver after 16 years in first place. Jack is now second while Harry, Charlie and Alfie, all non-movers, make up the top five.

Another bad year for F1 ace Lewis Hamilton has seen the popularity of his first name drop from 13th to 19th place, whilst his singer girlfriend Nicole Scherzinger fares even worse, with the name Nicole dropping seven places down the girls list to 84th place.

Ollie emerged as the biggest climber - up 56 places to number 53 - while Zachary, perhaps inspired by High School Musical's Zac Efron or even the son of jungle queen Stacey Soloman, has also become more common.

Bobby - the name of the late Jade Goody's son - is another big climber, up 25 places to number 70. And Kai - Coleen and Wayne Rooney's son has stepped up 10 places to number 56, despite his father's indiscretions.

The list was compiled by parenting club Bounty from names given to 423,000 children born in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland during 2010.

Yesterday, Faye Mingo, spokeswoman for bounty.com (http://www.bounty.com/) said: ''Our records show that parents are continuing to be influenced by popular culture and celebrity trends.

"The remarkable rise in popularity of names such as Ollie and Florence are most probably due to the X Factor star Olly Murs and the singer from Florence and the Machine experiencing their time in the limelight.

"However, parents are looking to a wide range of sources for influence and also seem to be rediscovering more traditional, 'old-fashioned' names like Ava and Stanley which have been more associated with grandparents in the past.

"Biblical names are also proving popular with Noah rising 20 places to 15th place and Jacob up 7, just missing the top ten."

Olivia is enjoying its third year in top spot after deposing Grace in 2008.

Jessica climbed one place to sixth, while Chloe dropped from fifth to seventh. Ava made it into the top ten for the first time while Grace slipped to ninth from sixth.

Amelia completed the top ten. Lucy was a non-mover at 13 while the next four places were all taken up by new names, including Isabella which climbed eight places to 14th.

Megan, Isla and Freya have all become more popular as has Lilly, most probably inspired by the singer Lily Allen.

On the boys list Jack finally surrendered top spot to Oliver but very little of the rest of the top ten changed. William climbed one spot to eighth as did Daniel to ninth while James slipped two to tenth.

Other names we will be hearing more regularly includes Logan, which climbed seven places to 17th and Oscar, which moved up four to 22nd.

Callum and Liam seem to have had their day - they were the biggest fallers in the top 30, seven and nine places respectively.

And new entries into the bounty.com top 100 lists were Esme, Courtney, Jude, Elliot and Stanley.

Faye Mingo added: "A recent study we ran found that one in five parents regret the names they have chosen for their children, so it's more important than ever for parents to choose a name them and their child will love for the rest of their life.

"It's hard to predict what we'll see next year but it's most probable that celebrities and popular culture will again play a part - and with a royal wedding on the horizon we may well see an increase in Williams and Kates born in celebration!"
