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

#NextGeneration Stories

Cherokee Legend Do you know the legend of the Cherokee Indian youth's rite of Passage? His father takes him into the forest, blindfolds him and leaves him alone.  He is required to sit on a stump the whole night and not remove the blindfold until the rays of the morning sun shine through it. He cannot cry out for help from anyone.  Once he survives the night, he is a MAN. He cannot tell the other boys of this experience, because each lad must come into manhood on his own. The boy is naturally terrified. He can hear all kinds of noises. Wild beasts must surely be all around him. Maybe even some humans might do him harm. The wind blew the grass and earth, and shook his stump, but he sat stoically, never removing the blindfold. It would be the only way he could become a man! Finally, after a horrific night the sun appeared and he removed his blindfold. It was then that he discovered his father sitting on the stump next to him.    He had been at watch the entire night, p...

August Theme

Our thematic issues for this month is #NextGeneration We urge us in love to pick one of the issues under our theme for the month and help share messages, videos, pictures and matters for discussion and action plans under any of the issues. Let's dig deep into the concept of preparing the next generation of leaders, professionals, members of the society among others, which comes from God Himself right from creation and see how it improves acts of charity and social development. Humanity has survived since creation because intentional efforts have been made to prepare for generations to generations. Families birth those who'd constitute the next generation. If we don't prepare the next generation, we'd have a retrogressive situation which is highly preventable. #NextGeneration #August TLF 💚
