“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?_ 🐒

#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 💚
