The other day, someone asked me if I had any political ambitions. My answer was a flat out “NO!” Still, they insisted that since I am already on the path of social change, being a social entrepreneur, that it’s something I should consider. Good point. My answer was […]
If I drop Christ, my voice would be amplified, and I would reach a wider audience… If I drop Christ, more people will like my posts, comment and share them abroad… If I drop Christ, I will gain more followers and popularity the world over… If I drop […]
I am no economist, nor accountant. I can’t claim business experience. However, as a social entrepreneur and thinker in my time, I dare to submit an opinion. What’s in a diamond? Everyone seems to want one. A really big one, if possible. They don’t want to eat it, […]
Many times in our lives, Everyone feels lost and alone… Rather than give up, Right when you need Him most, You will meet your Helper! Christ is the Helper for everyone. He takes our sins away… Reach out to Him for help! In the morning or in the […]
Thank you for giving me the best of you… Even when I didn’t appreciate it. Though I didn’t always understand your discipline, thank you for chastising me in love and for teaching me what it means to be a woman. Thank you for being a living example of […]
Yesterday, I woke up to a video on my Facebook timeline, that I’d been tagged in, of a child being horrifically abused by her care giver. I was horrified to say the least. I was mad as hell!!! So many bad emotions arose in me, and all I […]
A friend of mine on Facebook nominated me for the #GratitudeChallenge seven days ago, and my initial thought was – “As if?!! Who has the time?” But my Spirit reminded me that there’s always time to be grateful, and well, I have lots to be thankful for. Today, […]

(Co-written by Njideka Raleke-Obiora and Simran Daryanani) To say that the future of Nigeria lies in the children’s potentials cannot be overestimated. Every parent’s dream is for the child to have better opportunities than they did. As we celebrate Independence Day yet…
I recently got into a debate with my sister about fornication vs homosexuality. It’s an argument that I’ve had before, and I had in mind to write a post about it, but put it off. Well, today’s passionate discussion rekindled that flame in me. I think this is […]
The pressure is ON to loose your virginity like yesterday!!! Parents who might have otherwise counseled you, forbade you or restricted you from sexual involvement before marriage, are now encouraging you to use protection because they have given in to the belief that YOU WILL DO IT ANYWAY, […]
Are you my brother or my enemy? These days it is hard to tell! So many profess the same faith, but their actions are as diverse from yours as the many colours of the rainbow. It is hard to know who is really sincere, who’s right and who’s […]
I am just realising how unthinking, inconsiderate and clueless most people are when it comes to babies. So many think that it’s not only okay to reach out and touch a new born, but that it is wanted and good manners! Well, if you ASK first, and WASH […]
The other day, while I was praying, I said this to God and was taken aback by how profound it was. Until I confessed it, I had never really thought of God that way before. I mean, He is my Wealth! How many people can say that and […]
