Love is when the other person’s happiness is more important than your own. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. Remember the song “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” by Paul Simon? A female friend of mine once told me that this song made her very angry: “How dare anyone make suggestions about how to leave one’s lover?!”. She was more comfortable with the Beatles song that tells us – “All you need is love, love is all you need.” When individuals make the necessary efforts to keep a relationship going and happy, they stand a better chance of having a successful relationship.…
My son, A friend emailed this to me, and after reading it, I thought the thoughts and sentiments expressed were something I should share with you. They contain some kernels of truth that can help us navigate this journey through life. Read, ponder and act on them. “In a high-end hand phone, 70% of the functions are useless! In an expensive car, 70% of the speed and gadgets are not needed. If you own a luxurious villa or mansion, 70% of the space is usually not used or occupied. How about your wardrobes, full of clothes and shoes? 70% of…
Comments by Charles O. Anyiam-Osigwe. Immature love says: ‘I love you because I need you’. Mature loves says ‘I need you because l love you’. Eric Fromm This makes sense. Let us always meet each other with smiles, for a smile is the beginning of love. Mother Teresa But Mother (now St Theresa) some smiles are insincere. Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye. H. Jackson Brown, Jr. True, but in the cacophony of modern life, it takes great insight to notice what the heart is seeing. Love is friendship that has caught…
“Fashioned from wood, it is for gentlemen who are refined, far from crude and for centuries a man’s coarseness did it soothe. Through the ages it has been used to instill on men an immaculate carriage no longer to be called a savage.” The cane as you can deduce from the above poem is a fine work of refined craftsmanship often by generations of consummate wood artisans and as such it has been used to groom gentlemen particularly in relation to their gait making it calculated and measured as every gentleman should be in thought and action. A formation tool…
Fashioned from wood, it is for gentlemen who are refined, far from crude. Through the ages it has been used to instil on men an immaculate carriage no longer to be called a savage. The cane is an accessory so slender yet powerful like a crane and enhances your swag similar to the serum that enhanced the strength of the Batman’s arch nemesis Bane. It has become an extension of myself similar to a poetic vein and keeps me looking timeless no matter how long time might pass. Alas, all this derived from wooden grains.

No matter how good or bad you have it, you must wake up each day thankful for your life, because someone somewhere else is desperately fighting for theirs. Truth be told, there is always “something” to be thankful for. There are ‘always’ others worse off in this world. The Mammy Wagon philosopher will have us know that “No Condition is Permanent” – and this is a true statement because nothing is permanent, and no matter what you are going through or what is happing in your life now, “this too shall pass”. It’s not always easy to accept, but knowing…
BIG AND SMALL Can you tell me why a N1000 note looks so small at the supermarket but so big at church? SHOUT HALELUYA! After a church service on Sunday morning, a young boy suddenly announced to his mother, “Mom, I’ve decided to become a Pastor when I grow up.” “That’s okay with us, but what made you decide that?” “Well,” said the little boy, “I have to go to church on Sunday anyway, and I figure it will be more fun to stand up and yell, than to sit and listen.” ANSWERED PRAYER A businessman needed a million Naira…

Quite a good number of us have a sense of inadequacy – that feeling that we are “not good enough”. This sense of inadequacy has been the bane of many personal and business relationships. Many promising relationships are ruined because of one’s insecurity. If you have ended relationships for fear that the other party is about to end it? If you have held back your true affection for fear of rebuff or rejection, you are suffering from a measure of insecurity and must take steps to be comfortable in your own skin. This will ensure that you live a full…
