TRIBALISM AND RACISM


With that genuine innocent look, a smile on their faces, children will beam at anybody irrespective of your tribe or color. Children are so pure, innocent and pristine with regards to their perception about life in this world. They relate very well with anybody irrespective of your tribe or race. This goes on to proof that human beings are generally born good people from infancy, until they begin to associate themselves with their fellow human beings. Parents, guardians and society play tremendous roles in the lives of every human being. None is born racist or bigot from their childhood. It’s their parents, guardians, and society that shape their perception about other tribes and races. Growing up from tolerant parents, guardians and society goes a long way to produce tolerant and color blind adults that blend well with the rest of the world.
In essence, it seems some pockets of the societies are still not prepared to relinquish their inimical upbringings and their negative perception about how they intend to live with others who differ from them in this world. These types of people must be told in their faces that, all the different tribes and races in this world were created by Almighty God in his infinite wisdom and we are all here to stay together as long as the human race is permitted by our Creator to exist on this universe until Armageddon. There’s nothing the ethnocentric and the racist can practically do to stop or eliminate what they see about others.

These kinds of people need urgent consistent vigorous education to prune the negative perceptions of their inimical parochial view of this world. How long will the human race continue to wallow in the shadows of ignorance of that magnitude, in this era of our continued perceived civilization?
Unfortunately, in spite of the milestones achieved, we are still crawling, so far as socialization with our fellow human being is concerned. Regrettably we keep on retrogressing socially due to our inability to cogitate about our lives appropriately to live in peace and harmony amongst ourselves as civilized human beings.
The Omnipresent, the Omnipotent, Almighty God who created this universe, knowing the begging to the end of this world said with clarity in all religious books that matter in this world that, he created the human being in his own image. So, it’s sad that we are still in this quagmire of ignorance but, sadly that’s the truth, and it’s a shame to us the human race. Especially if only we still believe in ourselves as human beings whom Almighty God created in his own image. We are privileged with all the attributes others species never had, and yet our behavior of living peacefully with each other is still a daunting task.Stimulating memories of the past unraveled from the primitive Stone Age, when mankind knew nothing with regards to civilization continue to be amazing. Primitive, until with time mankind had to impulsively use flint stones to light fire for warmth and to cook their meat.The savage greed of unflinching unrelenting conflicts and wars that ignited tribes against tribes and nations against nations in their persistent pursuit to dominate other tribes and kingdoms are completely insurmountable to comprehend.

The brutality of the barbaric slave trade to sum it up, took some consequential efforts by gallant heroes and heroines through perspiration, tears and brutal wars that claimed numerous lives to emancipate this heinous evil in our societies.We have crawled and weaned ourselves from the Stone Age, to savage slavery era into our present perceived civilization which is undoubtedly flourishing but inimically and stealthily shrouded in tribalism and racism. We dominate the entire universe in all spheres of life, be it under water or under the sun, the human race excels. The human race continues to make strides, just to mention few, by inventing ships and submarines guided with advance technology comfortably undulating and embedded deep in the seas.
The human races have invented airplanes, space craft’s, computers including all the technological breakthroughs. With the exception of technical faults and accidents that intermittently create problems for us, we are yet to encounter any potential challenge in the space, on the land or in the seas by any other creature in this world. In spite of all the aforementioned achievements, the obdurance of some human beings to wean themselves of this heinous social glut, by refusing to critically cogitate is very nauseating to say the least. Unbelievably, tribalism and racism still makes the entire world look so fussy. Making it very difficult for some ignorant people to fully accept, cherish and tolerate their fellow human beings as colleagues, friends, or to be in courtship just simply because of their tribes or the color of their skin.
Tribalism and racism all over the world is real. Anybody who thinks those social diabolical traits don’t exit is only attempting to bury their heads in the sand not to hear, see or have decided to live in the fool’s paradise.

Species of Almighty God are all endowed with different colors and they tolerate each other with the exception of the human races that discriminate amongst each other. Biologically, we are exceptional animals, due to the benignity of God’s infinite mercy. It’s remarkably absurd to comprehend because, dogs and cats are of different colors yet, they socialize with ease likewise most animals in our midst and around the universe except the human race. In other words, with the exception of the human race that discriminate, all creations of God are endowed with different colors which they have accepted and they move along peacefully.
Aren’t we ashamed of ourselves that, the human race being the most advanced animal on earth that’s endowed with five senses who can logically think, create, talk and negotiate cannot live in peace? All we do is to denigrate, scorn to the extent of even fighting to kill each other because, of tribal and racial differences.
Is that the best we can do to ourselves as civilized human beings? Undoubtedly, criminals must be quarantined. Can’t we love one another which will enable us to live in peace?
For far too long the black race and tribes all over the world continue to experience mortification, resentments, scorn, maiming, sometimes even death for no apparent tangible reason. All these unfortunate aforementioned circumstances continue to happen throughout the whole world simply because, Almighty God created them in different complexion.

Peeling off this chronic ignorance of mankind, needs effective education. This will sensitize the entire world. This form of ignorance is still pervasive in both illiterates and literates throughout the entire world. It must be thoroughly eradicated to enable mankind completely realize the full potentials of the human race.
Ignoring this sickness of racism to phase out by itself is never going to be an easy task. We must therefore, devote a concerted effort to educate the ignorant amongst us to come to terms with the realities of our contemporary world.Make it abundantly apodictic to the ignorant to comprehend that, the Stone Age will never be revisited again. The era of the primitive times of crude conflicts for tribes to dominate other tribes and wars for kingdoms dominating other kingdoms are over. The barbaric nature of human beings to gleefully and glaringly enslave other human beings will never come back again. Most tribes and races have gone through tribulations, scorn, mortification, agony and death far too long. Something must be done to open the eclipsed brains of the ignorant amongst us. If only we are really in a civilized era and not in the medieval world as we perceive to believe. People coming together irrespective of their tribes and race are a good thing to do. Just look at your village that all the people know themselves and compare the village to the city where most people you meet are strangers and you’ll see tremendous progress in the city than your village. The same thing applies to tribes and races commingling with other tribes and races generate tremendous progress in our lives. Donating blood has nothing to do with the color of your skin. The last time I enquired at the hospitals donating blood had nothing to do with tribes and races. It rather has something to do with blood-groups and these groups cut across the entire tribes and races. Meaning these groups are in every tribe and races all over the world Donating an organ equally has nothing to do with the color of your skin. Why don’t we emphatically comprehend that, tribes and races have nothing to do with the human beings ability to execute whatever they intend to do on this earth. Just name any educational ladder or a profession that other tribes or races have not been able to accomplish in this world. Is it being a doctor, scientist, lawyer, pilots or what? If there’s any that others have not accomplished, it’s because those tribes or races don’t have the wherewithal to take those tutorials but, if given the chance those tribes and races will excel. Typical examples are the minority tribes in Ghana being Northerners and the minority races in the United States of America being blacks. These different people with similar backgrounds being given the chance by their gallant visionary leaders, who believe in the capacity of the human being and not tribes and races have become Presidents in their respective countries. It’s unfortunate that, some of the former ruling tribes and races are still fuming with rage over the achievements of their own success stories. Remarkable success stories because indubitably, being majority in their respective countries their tribes and races contributed immensely by elevating these two people. Meaning, the world has taken a giant leap for being able to elevate these two people to such enviable positions in their respective countries, by shifting away from the myopic mentality of tribes and races. Isn’t that wonderful? Hope those people still fuming will tone down their rage and rather feel proud for what they have done.

Now the most vicious amongst us are the ignorant educated ones who are neck deep in tribalism and in racism. The quiet educated ones discreetly and deliberately somnolently create incalculable havoc and despair to innocent different tribes and races they come into contact based on the positions they hold in societies. The vociferous ones keep on hiding behind their titles spewing vitriol and nonsense, trying by every imaginable joggle, to justify their unjustifiable sarcasm with confusing verbosity. Sometimes you read or listen to invectives coming from these well educated people and you cringe, and ask yourself, is this really the person with such an enviable title behind their names? Cringing because, the bigot writing or effusing such vitriol most of them schooled in the advance countries. Patently these people were educated by tutors, lecturers or professors from different backgrounds. They forgot the people who gave them those tutorials are not from their villages. In spite of the bigotry imbedded deep in their souls, these people continue to cling in those advance countries. These educated bigots seldom travel to their countries by clinging and enjoying in comfort out there, where the people have embraced diversity that has open up their economies.
Having seen the good diversity could do to societies, why do you continue to poison the minds of others with vitriol and nonsense not to accept their kind back home and be tolerant in their own countries?

It will surprise you to know that, these bigots will never stay in their villages anymore even if they happen to visit their respective countries because, diversity isn’t in those their villages so, there’s no progress out there.
Yet still I wouldn’t say educating these bigots is a waste of money because, without education, you can imagine the harm these people could cause.You don’t necessarily have to be a Minister of State to assist in the governance of your country. It’s a collective effort on every citizen. Based on your education and exposure to the outside world, if you have any idea about how to shove your country to success you should do it.
 1) Write about programs that could elevate the poor, the old, the invalid and those with infirmities in our societies. 2) Write about how it’s Important for all the citizenry including foreigners to have proper I D cards to assist in the prevention of crime. 3) Write about the importance to have street names, to have proper reflective signboards. This will guide people to their final destinations even nocturnally. 4) Write about how it’s important to have proper demarcations before houses are built, to prevent floods. 5) Write for tarred good roads in the rural areas too, that will entice investors to create jobs in those areas to stop the urban drift.
All that you see in the advance countries were not built in a day. They all came up based on genuine concerted effort.

Education has nothing to do with wisdom, the integral ingredient of being wise is to be unassuming, judge people individually, respect and love people equitably, think good of mankind and not evil. Do well with your education, and refrain from planting evil in the minds of the less fortunate ones.

The world must set aside a day to commemorate tribalism and racism. Use this day to educate that ignorant imbecile who howls racial disgusting tones at normal people at football parks and elsewhere in the world. Use this day to educate the executive to employ qualified people who merit positions and not based on tribalism and racism.

Use this day to educate functionaries who man sensitive positions of authority to open doors of opportunities that will benefit everybody and not only their tribes or race. Use this day to educate the men and women throughout the world who abhor their fellow human beings as colleagues, friends, partners simply because of their tribes and races.

Isn’t it hilarious that some of the ignorant ones refuse to sit near their fellow human beings in trains, buses and in planes simply because, they feel others are of different tribes or colors? Some refuse to stay in the same dormitories with their fellow human beings yet, they may not even be good academically when it’s narrowed down to the desideratum.

Where the ignorant couldn’t refuse to go is the cemetery, to be buried in the ground for termites to feast on them. Where then is that your preposterous abstraction of being superior.

The saddest part is that, the ignorant will go into his grave with nothing except, the kindness and the good they exhibited unto mankind whiles they were alive. If the ignorant have no idea about their final journey, let them learn from here right now that, the houses, the fat bank accounts, the horses and all the wealth will not accompany you to that grave. Even your spouse and children will not want to stay near your grave when it’s getting dark. What a pity to the ignorant.

If we successfully tackle this canker in our societies, being tribalism and racism. We will be dealing a fatal blow to the last inimical trait of social ignorance. This canker has completely blindfolded some of the people in our societies that, it’s stealthily creating most conflicts and wars throughout the entire world.

Together the human being has been able to move the needle from the medieval world of savage barbaric conflicts and wars all over the world. We have together moved the needle from the heinous savage enslavement of human beings. The last manacles still holding mankind stealthily is tribalism and racism. If we have together been able to do away with the aforementioned heinous traits we can together do away with tribalism and racism as well.

His Holy Highness The Pope, Presidents, Ministers, Priest of all Churches, Imams of all Mosques and Honorable people with platforms must preach to eliminate tribalism and racism. All these people must act on these retrograde inimical behaviors in our societies to change the mentality of the ignorant for the betterment of the entire world. Advocating for this day is long overdue. Let’s seriously do something about tribalism and racism in this world because, it’s tearing us apart instead of bringing us together in peace and harmony as real civilized people.

LIFE


There is more to LIFE than just breathing. When U look at it in God's view, U will see that not all who are breathing are alive/have life. Anyone who has LIFE can NEVER die and there are many who are no more breathing but are NOT DEAD because the have LIFE, John11v25,26.
Looking at LIFE in God's point of view, LIFE is not a thing.
So who is LIFE?
He is Christ Jesus, John1v4; John14v6.
Anyone who does not have Him does not have LIFE, 1John5v12,
Anyone who comes to Him has crossed from DEATH to LIFE, John5v24, John3v16
And anyone who leaves Him has gone out of LIFE to the congregation of the DEAD, Proverbs21v16.
Where do U stand?
Is the Lord Ur LIFE?
LIFE and DEATH is set before U today and God is saying U should CHOOSE LIFE that U may LIVE, Deuteronomy30v19,20.
God bless U.

WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY AND WHO IS A CHRISTIAN?


Acts 11: 26, And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. And the disciples were called CHRISTIANS first in Antioch.
Why the Apostles were called Christians;
1. They were in Christ Jesus
2. The life of Christ was seen in them
3. They all were behaving like Christ
4. They were all dead to the flesh
5. They had a fellowship with God through Christ
So Christianity is the full manifestation of Christ life here on earth. Christianity is living on earth with God’s tradition. Christianity is the true way of life. Christianity is the manifestation of the new man/creature in Christ.
With all this in mind one can simply say that a Christian is anyone who is genuinely in Christ Jesus. A Christian is the new man/creature in Christ Jesus. A Christian is not a sinner and a sinner is not a Christian.
1John 3: 6-11 says, 6 No one who lives in him keeps on sinning. No one who continues to sin has either seen him or known him.7 Dear children, do not let anyone lead you astray. The one who does what is right is righteous, just as he is righteous. 8 The one who does what is sinful is of the devil, because the devil has been sinning from the beginning. The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. 9 No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God. 10 This is how we know who the children of God are and who the children of the devil are: Anyone who does not do what is right is not God’s child, nor is anyone who does not love their brother and sister.
ARE YOU A CHRISTIAN ?

PLAYGROUND VS PLAYSTATION

Gaming industries now have a new strategy to market their products, not only medical but also the educational benefits of playing games. These strategies cannot just be swept under because they actually do have researchers and doctors toback them up. What about the play grounds? What ever happened to them?
Researchers have found that frequent game players score better than non-players at vision tests and also it has also been found that playing these games can also improve logical reasoning and problem solving skills. Now although these games prove to be beneficial to an extent, doctors have found possible threats to frequent gamers concerning their health. Common complaints among frequent gamers are eye strains, wrist, neck and back pains, photosensitive epilepsy, headaches, hallucinations, nerve and muscle damages and there is an ongoing speculation about the probability of constant gaming causing obesity.


It has been confirmed that just like kids who spend long hours on their computers, kids who spend long hours gaming are susceptible to bad posture, a controversial research has proved thatexcessive gaming can actually stunt the growth of a human brain. A brain mapping expert prof. Ryuta Kawashima and his team at Tohuku university in japan measured the level of brain activity of teenagers playing the Nitendo game and compared it to those who played other arithmetic games and it was concluded that the Nitendo game stimulated activity only in the part of the brain associated with vision and movement while the arithmetic game stimulated activity in both left andright frontal lobes of the brain associated withlearning, memory and emotion. Now apart from the medical and physiological effects there are also some social implications, spending long hours on computers means not going out often and thus the person turns out shy and introvert, daily routines are also affected. It is also fact that most recently developed games are a lot more violent and thus the gamers tend to bemore aggressive. Though the games do provide certain benefits, the question is how much and is it really worthwhile?
Okay, so is the playground a better option?, whatabout injuries and dangers the kids are exposed to, even if an adult watches over them, it still is not a guarantee of safety.. While we like to think that dirt, animals, pests and bacteria do more harm than good it’s actually the opposite. When your children come into contact with these things in a natural way (outside) and on a regular basis, they are less likely to develop autoimmune disorders and allergies. Thus we can safely say that playing outside builds immune system.  Playing outside provides children with something many children don’t get enough of anymore – exercise. Exercising while having fun is the best kind of exercise, and that’s exactly what playing outside does. Sadly, one of the things that today’s children are lacking is an imagination. This is because we’re in the technological age – today children are literally shown everything. Why go outside and play cops and robbers when we can watch a movie about it or play a video game? Playing outside helps children develop their imagination. Children who play outside learn how to solve real life problems better than children who are always in their rooms playing video games or secluding themselves.

ADULT CONTENTS IN CHILDREN CARTOONS


Avatar Aang(12) kissed Katara(14), there is a “hooker” in toy story,Spongebob was caught watching sea porn, Spongebob also told Gary “not to drop the soap.” And in ”Rocko’s modern life” Rocko  held a job as a phone sex operator, he grabbed a bear by the balls, was instructed to get on his hands and knees and in a not so twisted manner his friend used a milking machine as a sex toy. Gone are the days when the producers of children cartoons would have their hair set on fire than allow cartoon characters use any sort of profanity. I mean imagine mickey mouse and crusader rabbit using the f-word



The bad news is that R-rated materials that include gross profanity has wormed its way into many animated children shows.PTC president, Tim Winter gave this warning: “adult content isn’t just creeping into the cartoons that kidstoday are watching the most;it has overtaken much of that animated programming. We’re not talking about cartoon characters slippingon banana peels and ramming into doors. Our data demonstrates that today’s norm is profanity-laden storylines involving everything from rape and cocaine to STDs and crystalmeth. There is now more sexual contents on these cartoons than violence-even when counting traditional ‘light’ cartoon violence.” I’m not in the least surprised and yes he wasn’t exaggerating in anyway. Nami was molested a bit while she was naked in the bathroom by the invisible tiger guy, he attempted to rape her and she was 90percent nude except for the soap lather covering a bit.
This is just a godless liberal mindset- everything goes, nothing is off limits, not even innocent children. And while they are busy making it cute for 7yr olds to have sexual fantasies about adults,they call it intergenerational sex, but we all know it for what it is, pedophilias.

TOO DISCIPLINED TO BE RICH


Discipline is simply the practice of teaching people to obey commands and rules, and personally; my childhood could be described as a synonym. Having a much disciplined father is typical of Nigerians; here they think that it would help in shaping the future of their kids, and one essential part of that training, is teaching them the value of money. And in so doing, they indirectly tell them that money is very hard to get, and could only be got with hard work and nothing else.
I have nothing against hard work; in fact I believe it is necessary for good success. But we should not underestimate working smart too, because it seems to get the job done even better than hard work. 
     Just like a coin, the other side of hard work is the idea imbibed in the kids that: money can only be obtained when you are a workaholic, and most importantly your hard earned money is only used to purchase items you are in need of, but never for enjoying yourself. Well, with all these unwritten laws in place you wonder why a person under favorable conditions of finance would still chose to have a life of penury.
     In conclusion, ill like to say that teaching children about money, especially at their tender age is good work and should be commended. But let them know the line between being discipline and being a miser. So they do not end up getting under paid, and they’ll think that’s how money should be made, just because of a messed up mentality given by their parents, and in the long term they end up too disciplined to rich.

SUNDAY READ: SEE GOOD IN OTHERS

“…..fix your thoughts on what is true and good and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely, and dwell on the fine and good things in others. Think about all you can praise god for and be glad about.”
Philippians 4:8 (TLB)
There are people who almost never see the good in others. They are known to always dwell on the shortcomings they perceive in others. Even when others make good remarks about someone they would most likely have something negative to add to it. For instance if someone is complimented on her dressing, a negative person will be like, “yea the dress is pretty but that girl is fat”. Frustrated people can’t see the good in others especially because they can’t see the good in themselves; and so, they often criticize and pick on others.
People who act like this must come to the realization that such negative attitude exhibited can only entrench them deeper in the mud of misery. However our theme verse counsels us to “see the good in others”. This is actually important because appreciating others is not about making them happy, rather it’s about building a strong positive character.
Seeing the good in other people is a challenging pursuit, but well worth the effort.Basic social skills like smiling and maintaining eye contact will help.But to truly succeed here you should start noticing the positive intentions underlying peoples’ actions and forgive them for these actions.The fastest way to do this is to take advantage of your reticular activating system and look for evidence that other people possess good qualities.When you start putting these ideas into practice, you will have a much more positive view of the people around you, and you will notice more of these positive attributes in yourself.
Undoubtedly, you will be far happier because of your efforts.
