Words on The Scale✍ ⚖️

  Every Nigerian no matter where you’re from knows one truth we don’t say out loud often enough: Nigeria is not working. It hasn’t been working. And if we’re being honest… it may never work as one country. For over 60 years, we’ve tried to force unity among groups that see the world differently, live differently, and want different things from a nation. And with the recent killings, rising insecurity, ethnic suspicion, and deep political imbalance, it’s becoming clearer that: Nigeria is united on paper but divided in reality. Let’s stop pretending. The Marriage Was Forced from the Start Nigeria didn’t come together naturally. It wasn’t love. It wasn’t agreement. It wasn’t a handshake among the major ethnic groups. It was a British signature in 1914. Different cultures Hausa/Fulani in the North, Yoruba in the West, Igbo in the East, and so many minorities were locked into one structure and told to “make it work.” For decades, we’ve tried. But when a house is built on a shaky f...

Let’s talk truth  raw, but sanctified truth. Some people think the anointing is an all-purpose substitute for manners. You can cast out demons, but can you greet people properly? You can speak in tongues, but can you speak kindly to ushers, drivers, or waiters? You can quote Psalm 23, but you act like you wrote it yourself! 👉 The anointing breaks yokes, not relationships. Samson was anointed, but his poor relationship choices plucked out his eyes. David was anointed, but his wisdom with people made kings bow to him. Joseph was anointed, but it was his character and courtesy that took him from prison to Pharaoh’s palace. Don’t use “I’m anointed” to excuse being arrogant, rude, or impossible to work with. Even angels greeted men with “Fear not.”  Some of us greet people with “Stress not!” 😅 The anointing will open spiritual doors , but relationship skills open human ones. You need both. Heaven may recommend you, but men must recognize you. Ask Esther it wasn...

If we are honest, human beings are like a curriculum from God. Some teach you patience. Some teach you silence. And some… will have you praying, “Lord, give me strength not to react!” Yet, the truth remains: you can’t fulfill your destiny without people. Even Jesus needed disciples… and one still betrayed Him! So, how do you relate with people without losing your mind? Let’s gist 👇 1. Use Discernment, Not Just Your Eyes Not everyone who calls you “bro” or “sis” is sent from heaven. Some were sent from the ministry of confusion! Proverbs 12:26 : “The righteous choose their friends carefully.” Discernment saves you from unnecessary drama. 2. Love Everybody, But Don’t Trust Everybody Love is a command. Trust is a privilege. Jesus loved all, but He didn’t take all to the Mount of Transfiguration! Be kind but guard your heart; it is not a bus stop. 3. Stop Fighting to Be Liked You are not jollof rice  not everyone will like you! Even God, with all His goodness, has ha...
