Our D Day for the Month's theme!

17th of May is World Telecommunication and Information Society Day.

We commend all those individuals, groups, NGOs, Charities, Foundations and others who engage in one form or the other of promoting telecommunication and information. 

God bless your labour and work of love.

May we not do anything in vain.

Let me share this secret with you, don't tell anybody you heard it from me sha! 

If anyone tells you to speak their language because you are in their state, tell them to speak English that it's the lingual franca of Nigeria recognised by the highest law of the land. If they say English is not our language and we are really not English, tell them bravo! So also I'm not from your village, and your language is not mine. I beg don't find trouble oh. As much as you can learn new languages. If someone would not show interest in your language or would force their language on you, no matter how dominating (including English language), challenge them to learn yours. 

Remember 2 Corinthians 4:2 But we have renounced the hidden things of shame, not walking in craftiness nor handling the word of God deceitfully, but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God.

3 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing,

4 whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.

5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord, and ourselves your bondservants for Jesus' sake.

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.

Bravo to our telecommunication companies here in Nigeria who give with one hand and take with the other.

TLF utilises data in 50% of our activities and we have had to spend more on data since the covid19 pandemic started! We thank all those who have helped us with such internet/data access - Mr. Ike Njamanze, Engr. Sam Anene, Mr. Benson Asemota, Mr. Bight Audu, Engr. Oghosa, Mr. Destiny, Mr. Etinosa and Engr. Chijioke Muokogwu, among others! You all are amazing and we appreciate you all in TLF.

In all we thank God for telecommunications. If some of us had the privilege of having landlines, cyber cafes and NITEL credit cards to make calls with public phones in booths, many people did not have such opportunities.

But telecommunication is not a luxury but a necessity.

Look at how far commerce, security, religion, education and relationships have gone with the availability and widespread access to various forms of telecommunication devices!

We celebrate with the Information Society and wish all those in the ICT a happy celebration.

But as an NGO we are calling on all relevant authorities to make telecommunication cheap, clear and accessible.

#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...
