As they stepped in, the beautiful young girl with a lovely phone in her hands, went ahead swinging to the music. She went straight to put on the TV. Listening to her, I knew quite a work had to be done. I met a friend who had a 3-year-old daughter. Her daughter recites a bible verse every week. While we […]
I was feasting on a plate of beans and plantain. Olive was fiddling with her toy guitar. She wanted to get on the chair and have access to what I was eating. She tried climbing with her guitar but it was hard. My daughter made a great choice- she dropped her toy and climbed the chair. She reached out to […]
A dear brother was in training once when one of his colleagues asked a question: They have two young men in the ministry. One was heavily talented but not available. He does things as he wants. The other brother was not as talented as the first but he was available and very consistent with a teachable spirit. Now the ministry […]
It was a Sunday morning. We stood by the roadside awaiting a cab when a Toyota Camry packed by our side. The gentleman asked where we were headed. He knew the place and although it was not his direction, he chose to give up a lift to church. We were three lawyers in the car that day. When I spotted […]

As he sang in thanksgiving, I did not know when tears began to swell up in my eyes […]
It was a Sunday evening. My wife turned over and gave me that loving look which had “I have something on my heart to tell you” stamped into it. She said, “Darling, can I tell you something truthfully?”. “Yes, dear. Please do”, I replied. Then comes the lovely knock out “I am bored”. Instinct would make a man think like, […]
The police officer stopped me and asked me to kindly identify myself. I was in a hurry to catch up with our midweek service. I told him my name and that, “I am a lawyer”. That earned me an immediate pass. But I failed the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit asked again as I drove off to identify myself. I […]
We landed at the airport in Kano that day. We knew how expensive it was to charter an airport taxi to our Law School Campus at Bagauda. We opted to get to town and find buses. Exactly what we did. But we were at the roadside for so long- we did not get a bus heading to Bagauda. To make […]
Danielle was playing some educational games on her mum’s tablet. Olive was observing and dancing to the music coming from the games. Some minutes later, she began to reach out and grab the tablet from her sister. While she struggled to get it from her sister, I called out to her and said to her, “Olive, you cannot handle it […]
