On the paths of life I have had the privilege of walking on the shores of Burutu in Delta and Twin Island in Cross Rivers, on the shores of Takwa Bay in Lagos and waterside of Argungu in Kebbi, on the Lagos Bar-beach and Abraka beach, on the waters by Ogbogologo market in Asaba to Ikpoba river in Efosa community behind Block of Flats where I was born and grew up... and indeed many more Kiagbodo, Calabar, Aboloma, Onitsha, Sapele, and others.
My footprint like the one above are no longer there.
I simply walked and watched the waters wash over them.
But there is a faithful God Who knows the number of hairs on my head, Who also knows what He has enabled me to do all these years applying His principles in my life and Foundation.
God knows my paths, my lying down and rising up, my walks and works, my joys and challenges, my helps and helpers.
It has been a rhythmic heartbeat of life, ups and downs, but God has been faithful.
By January 1st 2020 God will make it 15 solid years of TLF, to Him be all glory. It's with nostalgia that I recall all the preparations towards the kick-off January 1st 2005 in Benin City. Many who started with me are far and away, but the wheel goes round and round. It can only get better, as it already is. It is with deep gratitude to God that I remember and thank all those who have been involved with TLF for good. It is very possible that there are many others who have been so involved who I've never known in person or their inputs and prayers, God bless them all. For our heroes past, their memories can never be forgotten. For new comers, hearty welcome. For onlookers well done in your own endeavours in making society better through charity and social development, may our works intertwine for good and God's will.
I continue to walk,  whether or not the Sands remember me, God does, the Rock of my Salvation. Whether or not TLF is known or its impact felt, God knows, the Omniscient, with this I'm satisfied and happy to continue my walk and work.

Merry Christmas and Happy 2020 in advance

For us in TLF we are going to be focusing on Enterprise aka Labour aka Work for the entire month of June. We are urged to work. If you do not work how would you meet your daily needs? Like food, shelter, clothings and transportation? What about having what to give to others in need? There are so many reasons to work. I know many of us love to do what we love, we do not like to go to work if we do not like the job. But what if what you are doing as work and being paid for is actually what you love? What you love may not turn out to be a source of income, but we must still do what we can to earn. Are you enterprising? Please keep it up. Are you in paid labour in the private or public sector? Please do your work as unto the Lord God. Are you working all by yourself as a self employed worker? Please continue to grow and progress for greatness. Always know that in - Happy moments, praise God.  Difficult moments, seek God.  Quiet moments, worship God.  Painful moments, trust ...

Abortion

A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said: 'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.' So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?' ... She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.' The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.' She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request. Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care of 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.' The la...
