 So today I had various encounters in our Centre. 

First a lot of people came to ask for water. With the new electricity connection in the Centre, we are hard press to use of card discreetly. Well I thank God for borehole and access to water so the gates were flung open and they fetched to almost infinity! Just on the lighter side. 


Secondly was cutlass! Just like some of our items in TLF we utilise to raise funds for the Foundation via our registered business, I also use my many many tools for rental! But after pulling the old lady's leg I gave her, I knew I won't charge her but I wanted her to know it's purpose. 


Thirdly was garri! Yes oh garri oh, my Nigeria, turning very hard working people with a sense of prudence and dignity to people who need to crawl for basics. Just as I saw the crowd in the Secretariat of my profession when covid19 reliefs were shared, I also saw the multitudes that thronged Jos, Kaduna, Ilorin, Lagos, Benin and several other states in search of palliative in warehouses. Even though I can never support taking of things without permission, or stealing (as was the case of the private warehouses which were also attacked) or anarchy, I saw that THERE IS HUNGER IN THE LAND. 


No shame, no forming or pretence or choosing... people are in need and we don't need a Foundation, a conglomerate of Billionaires aka CACOVID or Churches to do the giving. We can all give of whatever God has freely given us. 


So yes I gave the little boy the garri and added chilled water as he said he already has sugar.


May God bless us continuously to give continuously and more abundantly. This in turn will lead more and more people to thank God, believe and pray for us, so says the Holy Bible in 2 Corinthians 9.

Story Time

  Lisungu Chieza from Zimbabwe was 26 when she was told in 1996 that she was HIV+. "This started my long journey of coping with being HIV+. My husband died in my arms at home eight months later." Not only did Lisungu have to cope with her own illness and losing her husband, but her husband's family also wrongly blamed her for his death. They came to her house, took away his things, and said, "If those children of yours get sick, don't even call us. We won't have anything to do with them or you." They would not even let her go to her husband's burial. "I gave up a college course I had planned to do. All I thought about was death. I neglected my children and myself." But her mother supported her. Lisungu began to find hope again and joined an HIV support group. Then she started to help others who were also HIV+, and took a college course about HIV-AIDS. She spoke at HIV meetings with the young people in her church. She believes that it is ver...

Why Do You Smoke?

6 personalized approaches to quitting forever.  Everyone smokes—and quits—for different reasons, and the key to getting smoke-free for life is to find out why you are smoking and then change those behaviors. If you are a Recreational or Social Smoker, you may feel that your limited smoking poses no serious medical harm to yourself or others. You may, however, ignore warning signs that your occasional smoking is progressing into addiction, especially during periods of stress or increased alcohol use. A periodic review of these warning signs may help motivate you to consider becoming smoke-free. The Scared-to-Quit Smoker has no end of reasons (excuses) to put off going smoke-free to some future date. Sometimes it helps to focus on just quitting for one day. If you can quit for a day, you can quit every day. This realization can be a great confidence builder, and helps to decrease your fears about not smoking “ever again.” Forever is too big a word for many addicts; thus the old adage...
