Go to the Ants

This seems quite ludicrous when a human being is asked to visit the ant. However, it is vital when we see that there is nothing funny or strange about this.
The ant, one of the smallest insects does not farm, yet harvest. It is so organised that once its line is broken, it soon reorganise its line and moves on in an orderly fashion. This is enough when one considers that human beings' urge to jump the queue is legendary. In order to get things done, we often jump over the head of the person in front.
Furthermore, the ant prepares for the rainy day. While the weather is yet dry, the ant prepares ahead by gathering food and conserving it against the time when it would not have the opportunity of coming out in the rain. The human being, on the other hand always believe in the concept of tomorrow taking care of itself. The resultant effect is that when the lean time comes, he is greatly exposed as unprepared thereby running from pillar to post.
Above all, the average Nigerian is very lazy, spends so much time in the Church and other miracle centres where he is assured of better deals without working. The result? Hard prayer and less work.
What we should do is to work as if there is no God and pray as if we do not believe in hard work. The combination of these gives the best option of success not overtly depending on pastors who are apparently feeding fat on the lean resources of the members while the members keep praying and hoping and end up doing so until Jesus comes.

Maurice Iwu's Blunder

It seems an end will not be seen of our erudite Professor Maurice Iwu's electoral suicide. How on earth does the man expect Nigerians who are of the same birth as he is to believe that they do not have a right to decide who governs them? Some days ago, it was Rotimi Amaechi who recovered his stolen mandate. Not long after, Adams Oshiomole went to court and the criminals who had kidnapped his mandate were made to return it and yesterday, it was the turn of Agagu, a doctor of geology to kiss the dust of Nigeria's judiciary when he was told that the mandate belongs to Mimiko. whoever believe that the god of Ota could be so humiliated in such a manner.
well, this is a lesson to all thos who believe that mandates can be stolen, kidnapped or outrightly forcefully taken.
To them that have ears, let them hear
