MONTEÈCLAIRS TRANSFORMATION INITIATIVE

"I'm 83 and Tired" I've worked hard since I was 17. Except for when I was doing my National Service, I put in 50-hour weeks, and didn't call in sick in nearly 40 years. I made a reasonable salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to get where I am. Given the economy, it looks as though retirement was a bad idea, and I'm tired. Very tired. I'm tired of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm tired of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I'm tired of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor"; of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers"; Musli...

Its great to have senior friends you can have heart-to-heart chats with especially on the 'man-issues' (they always have issues ...lol). This piece by +Peace Onyegbuna is a simple breakdown of reality, a must-read for every Single Christian person out there. Life is not a Rehearsal, take it seriously. Enjoy!!! ..................................................                                 WINDOW SHOPPING OR BUYING? Once in a while I like to go shopping and at the malls, I see very interesting characters; Serious buyers who already have a set mind on what they want, head for the section, buy and leave. No drama. There are those who just want to look and get ideas while others want to compare prices or options. Yet others will pick off the shelf without paying and some still just don’t see what they want and leave probably upset. As big Sis, I get to talk with both the young girls and the yo...

Yesterday i visited computer village to sort out my blackberry phone which had been giving headaches for months. And as was my custom, i  patronized  one of my friends & church member (he has begged me not mention his name, so we’ll simply call him Garuba...lol) who deals on mobile phone accessories. Whilst at Garuba’s shop, his children (3 of them) returned from school; However,this article is centred around Waje, the oldest, a girl, being only +4 and her ‘uncommon’ lunch request that hot afternoon. Waje, a cute dark-complexioned little angel (and nerdy by the way) suddenly wrapped herself around her dad, Garuba’s leg, ”Daddy i want indomie and dodo ”. At first he pretended not hear, but she kept repeating it and added tears to the flat-song-of-request...he had to attend to her now. +Indomie is one of the most popular (delicious & convenient) noodles in Nigeria (i hope i get paid by + Indofood for this unsolicited Advert, afterall I’m a good customer....

BUCKET LIST Don't hate me but i am absolutely not a fan of Nollywood. I mostly do white movies, why?, because there's always something to learn. A lot more to learn actually , whether in technology, video quality, script writing, casting, innovation, fiction etc. #anyway there are few exceptions from Nollywood especially in recent times# Back to the 'koko' gist of today, "The Bucket List (2007)" ... The main plot follows two terminally ill men in their early fifties from different cadre of the society who (by stroke of coincidence) met   in same hospital room, being treated for advanced Lung cancer. With only less than six months to live, they wrote a wish list which they called, ‘the Bucket List’ ; it was a list of things they planned to do before they " kick the bucket ". . (by the way, the idiom, 'Kick the bucket', means to ‘Die’). They went on a road trip to achieve their ‘Bucket List’ to the extent their strength would allow… ...

ACCREDITED CHURCH OF GOD My mum, a Pastor, an Educator and Music Minister was in her elements last night writing a song for her coming album; and as ever, everyone in the family had to be involved #or else...lol# Part of the song involved mentioning names of Churches in Nigeria. We tried listing them alphabetically, Assemblies of God, Apostolic Faith, Christ Embassy, Covenant Christian Centre, Daystar Christian Centre...but we were running out of nomenclature. Suddenly my Dad remembered that ‘Mr. Google knows  better’ #i made that up# and so we went online and our findings were  shocking , sad & hilarious.  ‘Hilarious’ , you will soon see why. ‘Shocking & Sad’, Yes! because we saw so many churches, yet so little impact considering the rate of crime, promiscuity and despicable evils prevalent in our great country and even the world at large. We were reminded of the end time by Jesus taught in Matthew 24:4-14. So dear reader, as you roll on the floor...

ANGELS ON STRIKE Breaking News! #news intro plays# “ Welcome! You are on to Space TV and this is news beyond the solar system and i’m Purity Seth. Report reaching our studio reveals a state of pandemonium ,confusion when Angels at Heaven’s gate threatened to go on strike, after a man refused judgement (with affidavit as  proof  ) stating that he was now 58yrs instead of 68yrs and so will not bear responsibility for the extra 10years...” “Na so i siddon  jejeli (calm & relaxed ) after a powerful church service for owner’s corner inside my friend moto dey hear tori o...’ Frank :-  how far with your football trials na?

God knows i can NEVER marry a policeman (pay me a millions bucks if it happens mistakenly...hehehe). Of course millions of Nigerians share my opinion of not liking the Police, but i’ve recently decided to see them as friends, not just because of their ad-campaigns or that they are humans too, but at least for their efforts in maintaining civil order (Titus 3:1,2, Romans 13:5 ). However, i must add they have played hilarious roles for lots of my spontaneous mischief.  As i strolled to the bus-stop with two of the Nduaguibe’s one fateful evening after youth meeting in church, we encountered a police van parked on Western Avenue, Ojuelegba , with 3 officers (one behind the steering wheel and two on either side of the front doors).Their black uniforms under darkness formed a perfect camouflage in collaboration with their dark truck, as they laid in wait for ‘criminals’ # usually traffic offenders#. As we walked past i hollered, ‘Police!’ , and kept walking with a mischief grin...
