23rd of September is International Day of Sign Languages.

23rd of September is International Day of Sign Languages.

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form or the other of providing sign languages to those who require same. 

God bless your labour and work of love.

May we not do anything in vain.

Have you ever seen people with physical disabilities communicate?

I have. There was this one time I entered Edo State Comrade Bus, there were a number of school children who entered and everyone noticed that they all communicated among themselves with hand signs.

While some use Braille to read, others use hand gestures or signs while others use audio or hearing aids.

God is great and makes a way where there seems to be no way. 

But many ascribe the ingenuity to man and science, what a miss!

It is all God.

We are happy to know that ODB (which we want to raise money for this month) is involved in producing materials for people with physical disabilities in order to communicate God’s Word to everyone notwithstanding. So please let us support them, thank you!

How can we improve sign language in Nigeria?

How can we contribute to those already at the fore front of helping people communicate in sign language?

Can you read sign language?

Join us to donate Braille materials to the School for the Deaf in Edo. We have done this in Ekiti and Oyo. Let it spread around Nigeria and beyond.

Remember Luke 1: 59 So it was, on the eighth day, that they came to circumcise the child; and they would have called him by the name of his father, Zacharias.

60 His mother answered and said, "No; he shall be called John."

61 But they said to her, "There is no one among your relatives who is called by this name."

62 So they made signs to his father--what he would have him called.

63 And he asked for a writing tablet, and wrote, saying, "His name is John." So they all marveled.

64 Immediately his mouth was opened and his tongue loosed, and he spoke, praising God.

Remember the ultimate law is love.

God is love.

There is no answer outside of God.

Your life in God is most important.

In all your research, submit to Jesus Christ and be fervent.

#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...

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...
