MY DREAM FOR NIGERIA
Nigeria, my mother birth place, my father land, the pride of the black race, the giant of Africa Continent, the great contributor to peace and world security. It surprises me that with all these blessings we still quarrel, fight and kill ourselves.
I have a dream to see Nigeria render accordingly to every citizen equal opportunity, equal right representation in all the tiers of government especially from the grass roots. My dream is to live in a Nigeria where the price of petroleum such as gasoline, kerosene and diesel are sold in a way that even the poor masses of this great country can afford without stress, where the arbitrary increase in the price of fuel will be a thing of the past.
I dream to live in Nigeria where poor graduates and young school leavers are gainfully employed. A country where the number of touts, arm robbers, suicide bombers and dubious politicians will not have a place in the country.
Oh! I am looking forward to that day when the Nigeria education will be uplifted to a greater glory. Devoid of strike.
It is my desire that Nigeria becomes self-sufficient and self-relevant in food production so to feed her citizens and still have enough or surplus to export, in order to gain foreign exchange. I see Nigeria being counted amongst the world power, I see Nigeria economy taking the lead amongst other African countries.
Oh! How I long to see Nigeria launched into the part of justice and fairness, where no one is victimised based on his or her ethnic group, where no one is murdered for speaking the truth on any rational issue.
I love to see a Nigeria society free from tribal, communal and inter-tribal wars, the Nigeria society free from violent, bombings, kidnapping, politically motivated killing and a lot of others crimes perpetuated amongst youths in the country.
A Nigeria where politicians be more of a leader and not a politician, as his Excellency the governor of Imo State, Owello Rochas Okorocha said, and I quote ‘A leader is different from a politician’’ while a leader thinks about what he can do for his people, a politician thinks about his political career the next election etc. our democracy should be the one we know, which is the government of the people, by the people and for the people and not the government of the few, by the few and for the few.
In conclusion, I look forward to see my country Nigeria, being a true giant of Africa in all aspect of human life. Therefore all hands must be on deck to chase out with riffles, corruption, examination malpractice, child abuse/labour, indecent dressing, cultism, arch robbery and other misconduct and put on the armour of peace and unity, not only hearing one Nigeria on radio, TV and news papers, but being active participants in making sure that this comes to pass with this and many more, my dreams, our dreams will come to fulfilment and Nigeria our great country will be among the best in the world on or before 2020. Long live Nigeria.

WEALTH INDUCED-INSOMNIA 3/7/2013
WHAT IS INSOMNIA?
Insomnia can be said to be a common sleep disorder.people who have insomnia have trouble falling asleep,staying asleep,or both.As a result,they may get too little sleep or have poor-quality sleep.They may not feel refreshed when they Wake up.
Insomnia can be acute or chronic, i.e(short term and long term)respectively.
Acute insomnia is common and often is brought on by situations such as stress at work, family pressure ,or a traumatic event. Acute insomnia lasts for days or weeks.On the other hand,chronic insomnia lasts for months or longer.most cases of chronic insomnia are secondary which means they are the symptoms or side effect of some other problem.certain medical condition,medicines,sleep disorder,and substances can cause secondary insomnia.
Wealth without satisfaction is a trap.Those who continue to pursue wealth and desire more and more without becoming contented have entangled themselves in a trap that only God can bring them out of.
The book of 1 timothy 6:6 says there is great gain in combining godliness with contentment.To be contented does not mean that you cannot aspire to something higher or desire something better.
However,it means at any point in time,you are satisfied with what God has given to you.You donot become jittery when your neighbor has more than you.you are not compelled to join the rat race for more ,just because others are in it.you do things out of conviction and need.you are never coveteous,or greedy .The sleep of a laboring man is sweet,wether he eats little or much.But the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.(ECC 5:12).Another problem of the rich is insomnia.sleeplessness is a common sickness among the rich.On the other hand,the rich man does not do any rigorous work.He leaves his comfortable house for his air-conditioned office.If he is going to the second or third floor,he takes a lift.When he gets home at night he begins to strategise and make plans concerning his various businesses.He thinks of how to prevent his workers from cheating him.He thinks of steps to take before his staff take advantage of him.He continues his plans,propelled by lots of worry and anxiety until 5.AM.He would have to take several sleeping pills to enable him catch sleep for one hour,what a bondage!. Are you in this mess?come to Jesus with your care and he will certainly give you rest.Rich believers know better than to put their trust in riches.They have defined their relationship with money.Money cannot rule a true believer.Money is just one of the tools or resources available for you.If you are a believer,and money becomes your lord it is because Christ is not fully occupying the throne of your heart.Let him take his place and everything will definitely fall in place for you.
