“Quiet please!” My third grade Religious Studies teacher was such a contradiction. She was the least pious or humble person you’d ever meet. Even as children we could tell that she didn’t quite agree with herself. I guess it made it harder for her to teach us about […]
I turned from the scene as I couldn’t continue to watch. The sight of my parents looking so happy, probably the happiest I’ve ever seen them, was too much. And my father passed away last year. It was strange to see him again, so young and boisterous. The […]
I wake up to consciousness. All around me is fire, but it doesn’t burn. The strangest thing. There are many people around. Many of them are crying and screaming. I turn to look at what they are all looking at. It is my car. It is ablaze in […]
One of my readers reached out to me on Instagram and we had a chat about a relationship issue he was having. He permitted me to share on Reader Questions, and I hope that someone else is blessed by this exchange. *** Hi Ufuomaee, I wanted to ask […]
This is an edited conversation I had with one of my readers on WhatsApp and has been shared with permission. *** Hi Ufuomaee, I want to tell you something. I made this friend when I was in Nysc orientation camp. We were the best of friends, though he […]
I am ready for all you’ve got, And I promise not to run away. I want to stand and fight, And endure the bad with the good… I want you to know that I’ve got you, And you’ve got me, no matter what! You’re the one I want […]

Do you know what is the most common thing in the world? Temptation! Do you know what is the most NORMAL thing in the world? Temptation!!! Temptation is everywhere, no matter the size of the sin, whether it is the temptation to conceal something that should be revealed, […]
It’s the subject we can’t avoid. SEX! It’s the most talked about subject, yet, it is the most embarrassing and most misunderstood. A lot of the embarrassment and misunderstanding is to do with those who feel they are in power or control, communicating false messages to those, who […]
“Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband” (Ephesians 5:33). Do you know what the verse above is saying? Do you know what it is not saying??? Many use this and other […]
I love that quote above so much! It sums up everything I am going to say… But if you have the time and interest, keep reading. We live in a society that seems to value quantity over quality, even though we like to chant “quality over quantity.” Our actions […]
PASSION. What would you be without it? Dead, I suppose. Passion is our drive. We must be passionate about something enough to hope for its fulfilment and keep on living. Passion is not synonymous with love, but with strong emotion. A vocation, such as marriage, calls for passion! […]
“The only things you can count on are chaos and each other and somehow that’s okay because it’s a perfect kind of beautiful chaos as you see each other more clearly and know you’re right where you wanna be, lack of sleep, spit up, noise and all” (Paula […]
Jesus said “the Truth will set you free” (John 8:33), and of course He is right! He means Himself! He is the Truth that sets us free…(John 14:6) But knowledge of AND acceptance of any truth always brings freedom. There is a truth that ought to bring many […]
