MONEY


I seem to be tired of reading the old king james version of the bible. The words like Thou , Shalt , whou , seems not be exciting to me any longer. So i went to barnes and noble to spice up my bible with a new bible. Bible buying has changed over the years , there are so many variants that one can get lost in the adventure of seeking for the right bible. I stumbled on this bible "MAX LUCADO , Devotional Bible" .

I flipped the bible open , very colorful and attractive , but there is still an excerpt from the introduction to the MONEY message that has my mind puzzling ... Here are the excerpts word for word

" MONEY

If money is the guage of the heat then this study revealed that money is on the heat of most americans. In exchange for the ten million dollars

25 percent would abandon their family

25 percent would abandon the church

23 percent would become prostitute for a week

16 percent would give up their american citizenship

16 percent would leave their spouse

13 percent would put their children up for adoption

"
Am not sure what i would do for ten million dollars but i would give up any citizenship for it.. I dont mind being a citizen of zamunda(coming to america) for that kind of money

THE NIGERIAN YOUTH, THE FUTURE (TECHNOLOGY AND ENTERTAINMENT)

One of the biggest achievements of President’s Buhari’s government is to the stop the bleeding of the nation’s resources. The previous regime made a few people midnight millionaires and billionaires. For any country to progress there is a need for everyone to see rewards in hardwork and not thiefwork .  The present administration has embarked on a lot of agricultural projects which the sole aim of boosting our local production of food products and also create employment opportunities. This is a noble idea but let us call a spade a spade, the Nigerian youth is what I call the elitist youth – they are mostly not interested in agricultural work. Rather than focus on trying to get them engaged in farms, we have to find other ways of getting them gainfully employed and effective for the nation’s growth. The future simply for the Nigerian youth is technology and entertainment. The government should not worry about those that would do the farm work, just like what is happening in the

DIASPORA CRIES - PASSPORT/VISA WOES

DIASPORA CRIES – PASSPORT/VISA WOES Sometimes, you wonder why a simple process is made extremely complex. Is it cause of education?

Nigeria a@50 - Day 27 : I LOVE HOME

"Nigeria at 50, Day 26 - Tobenna www.eyemuse.blogspot.com ================================================== I shout at the top of my voice "Hello , can you hear me !!!" I can hear her voice, but she can't hear me. I have to dial again and again before the great MTN or is it the mighty GLO allows us to converse. This remains my daily communication with home. Her heart beats when she hears my hi(s). My heart skips when I hear her bye(s). Her mind ponders. My mind wonders. Her voice resonates ripples across the ocean waters. My voice baritones across the wavy atlantic waters. I can sense her pains. She can sense my groans. I can feel the tears dropping down her cheeks. She can sense the fears from the pulse of my beats. Her voice echoes from a distance. My voice thunders from the mountains. My mind gropes in the dark when the phone clicks. Her mind is revived when the line rings. Our eyes do not clash, but our hearts remain meshed. Our flesh is weakened, but our heart
