There are many times when I have attended functions and had to tell commercial photographers not to bother taking pictures. Despite all the caution, there will still be some who took my pictures without asking. They begin to look for me after the event to collect and pay for pictures that I did not give my nod to. At times, […]
The first time he came to see me after many years, there was so much going on. It was hard making the first appointment we had because their baby took ill and was in the hospital for days. When he recounted all that had happened, I had a witness to tell him to go and straighten up himself and make […]
On my way back from obeying the instruction of the Lord to sow our car as a seed, the exhaust coming out of the public transport was discomforting – water was flowing from my eyes with a slight peppering sensation. I could hear those words, “Look at you. See how foolish you are. You gave away your only car. Look […]
In the early years of ministry, I went to visit a dear family that I love dearly. Normally, when I visited as an undergraduate, it was certain that I would leave with some good money in my pocket. Do you know the way a broke student announces to his uncle or aunt the day he will be leaving? If he […]
As I was wrapping up my service year, my uncle desired that I relocate to the United States to pursue my Masters Degree while I also get to grow in Ministry. Great plans. I had to explain that I am called to serve the call of God in Eruwa. I did not know what was on my uncle’s mind until […]

I knew when my girls came in from school. They would come into my office and greet me before they went on to do any other thing that they needed to do. But I heard their voice when they arrived, but did not see my girls come in to greet me. About an hour later, Danielle walked to my office. […]
In the era just before mobile phones became popular, my mum travelled to see my sister at the university. She returned with great joy, and I heard as she shared with my Dad: Upon arrival at the school, they went to look for her in her hostel. When they announced her name over the Public Address system, another student came […]
I sat with my long-standing associate, and we made a list of all the places and meetings we would normally attend. I asked him, “Which place added the greatest value to us in your estimation, and which would you recommend that we go to more in the new year?” He did not hesitate to mention two places. It was the […]
Recently, Dad reminded me of something very unique and reassuring: He used to drive a Nissan Primera. He would normally park the car under a cashew tree in front of the house. One evening, it was quite stormy. It did not occur to any of us that he should move the car. When we woke up, we saw what amazed […]
