Philosophy of ViE

We must admit to ourselves that grand gestures have a way of programming our opinions about someone. But what about the grand gesture by another that programs your own opinion about yourself? Be my guest! I strongly believe we all get moved by grand gestures... Well, at least most of us. An earlier version of me would have said grand gestures don't move me. But I've discovered most of what I thought about myself didn't withstand the test of time (a nonchalance to grand gestures included). Now, even the simplest gestures have me almost babbling. Talk more of something grand like buying me the phone I so need or the laptop I sorely desire (which is worth millions of naira) or just booking a world tour for me. Whoop! That makes you the fulfiller of dreams, I'll love you for life (just kidding!) Emmm, Why did I even start this talk? I was thinking about how someone did something and they said it was because they loved me. Going over our history, I felt that gesture was too

Jesus said, “I am the Bread of Life. The person who aligns with me hungers no more and thirsts no more, ever. I have told you this explicitly because even though you have seen me in action, you don’t really believe me. Every person the Father gives me eventually comes running to me. And once that person is with me, I hold on and don’t let go. I came down from heaven not to follow my own whim but to accomplish the will of the One who sent me . John 6:35 - 38 MSG There's an interesting background tale to this passage but let's just focus on the above verses today (we can come back for long gist later).😁 Some time back, I'd been restless. There was this feeling of lacking something, like there's this thing I need to lay a hold of and it kept eluding me. I felt a great discontent... yeah, that's the word: Discontent. I don't know if you're in that place too. I believe there are people who can relate with the feeling I've described. It's not unusual. It

The International Day of Education is commemorated on the 24th of January globally. Adopted by the General Assembly of the United Nations in 2018, this day highlights the role education has towards peace and development. This year’s theme is profound, “to invest in people, prioritize education.” It points to how education plays the most significant role in people and subsequently nation building. It calls for maintaining strong political mobilization around education, charting the way to translate commitments and global initiatives into action. It prompts for actions which ensure education is given the front seat in policy decisions, budgets and initiatives. It raises the cry to go beyond the policies and take actions towards implementation so the dividends of education will show. According to the UN , 244 million children and youth are out of school, and 771 million adults are illiterate. Their right to education is being violated and it is unacceptable. Everyone deserves a good educ

You know those mornings when to get out of bed is a chore and you're wondering what's the point of living? Now there's a word to ignite the spark and put you on track! All praise to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. It is by his great mercy that we have been born again, because God raised Jesus Christ from the dead. Now we live with great expectation,  1 Peter 1:3 NLT  Jesus rose from the dead and just because of that we have a reason to live with great expectations; to expect the best of life, to be hopeful, to look forward to what's in stock that day with eager anticipation, to be excited about what each morning brings, what wonders lie ahead! It's not Easter with little green shoots springing up the ground neither is it summer with the warm, enlightening sun. It's harmattan here, cloudy, dusty and dry and (supposedly worse still), winter in some places; cold and perhaps gloomy. Not-so-bright, broody weather all around but the truth still remains: Jesu
