“Do u know that the only tree a monkey can’t climb is a Banana tree? Paradoxically, Banana is wat monkeys love the most. This means that anytime Banana is found in the hands of monkeys, it’s most likely a gift. Hence the phrase, “who dash monkey Banana?” was coined.

In the journey of life there are things you want but can never achieve unless you are given. Only by God’s grace, mercy or divine Favour- this’s beyond human control.

Therefore, it’s not of him that willeth or of him that runneth but of God that showeth mercy.”

Beloved of God,

I bought biros and pencils for distribution in the Government Primary School near our TLF Crentre as they resume school this week.

I looked at our purse and saw that if I buy a few only N6700 will be left even after I've paid my TLF dues for 2020. I realised that TLF like every individual, family, church, office, association and company needs/uses money for daily runnings, projects, and savings.

Ok, my heart has been telling me and reminding me that TLF is or was first my mission and in my need to get more hands on, finance and spread I incorporated it. Now it's public owned. I can't even go to sleep out of exhaustion, it has to be a going concern or wind up, God forbid

So I met some children in the school who came to the Centre today and asked how many pupils in their classes? The number they told me in one class alone would gulp a large number of pencils and biros I got over the weekend.

But I can't despair. God willing Thursday before I run to Court as early as 7.50 or 8am God keeping us I'll go and distribute the pencils and biros and any other thing I lay my hands on that can benefit the school this 2nd term.

In TLF the whole of September is dedicated for educational matters, but it is good that every month we reach out to the youngsters and the easiest place to find them is at school or lecture centres (UTME is even in February I think). 

I've a heart for the young and I refuse to be discouraged by money, the lack of it or the amount.

I remember when, how, why and where I started TLF and I know who I walk with, Jesus, Whom has been there all the way. If He could feed 5000 from 5 loaves and 2 fish and have leftovers, He will make a way.

A vast majority of people who own NGOs, Foundations and Trust Funds are very rich in money and/or have support from rich people also.
Am I in that category? All I can do is ... ☺

If as I write I have my own life, personal income and expenditure in one hand, and that of TLF in another hand, and from there plan to run our 2020 budget running into thousands, millions and our building project for our permanent site also running into lots of money and I'm here saying we have barely N6700, how can TLF progress in this New Beginning

Or, _🐵who 🙈dash 🙉monkey 🙊banana?_ 🐒

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 ...

UN Days for the Month of June.

The United Nations designates specific days, weeks, years and decades as occasions to mark particular events or topics in order to promote, through awareness and action, the objectives of the Organization. Usually, it is one or more Member States that propose these observances and the General Assembly establishes them with a resolution. On occasion, these celebrations are declared by the specialized agencies of the United Nations, such as UNESCO, UNICEF, FAO, etc., when they concern issues that fall within the scope of their competencies. Some of them may be later adopted by the General Assembly. 1 June Global Day of Parents   3 June World Bicycle Day  4 June International Day of Innocent Children Victims of Aggression   5 June World Environment Day  5 June International Day for the Fight against Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated Fishing  8 June World Oceans Day   12 June World Day Against Child Labour 13 June International Albinism Awarene...
