“Besides, how many of us are not mad? A normal human being does not carry a gun. Yes, normalcy has departed a man in whose hands is a gun.”
The planning was superb and the implementation wonderful. It was peaceful, peaceable and widely supported at home and abroad. The EndSARS nationwide protest was a first of its kind in the country. Never before in the history of Nigeria have Nigerians had such a civil agitation that attracted such support from diverse strata of society.
What started as a civil protest turned a national struggle which attracted supports from diverse calling. Technocrats, Youths, Politicians, businessmen and women, Professionals and Artisans were not left out. Compelling some governors and highly placed government and private individuals to embrace the EndSARS fire. …
The story of David and the Philistine champion Goliath in the Book of 1 Samuel chapter 17 is a popular Bible story which is used as the case study in this article.
The mind game is a calculated psychological manipulation, to confuse and intimidate to have an advantage.
As a result; victims have a low-self-esteem which instils fear and inferiority complex as destructive and humiliating weapons for self-doubt.
Goliath was able to cause the Israeli army to flee for forty days and forty nights by articulately applying mind game tactics.
Fear destroys our faith in God and plants doubt in its place. It breeds negativity, enlarges challenges and makes them look larger than real life. Where there is no faith, there is doubt about the capacity of God to deliver.“As a man…
A new saint is in town. He is an American and canonized by the presently shame-faced Christian-bigots. In Nigeria and the entire African continent, in conjunction with some American-Israeli Think-alike. He is Mr Donald Trump, the President of the United States of America. He lost his re-election bid in the recent Presidential election in the United States of America. Mr Donald Trump is a good and a righteous man of God, they say. He hates injustice because he is a Christian.
Now, he lost in his re-election bid, it is perplexing that the morally-right Donald Trump and hater of abortion…

MIND GAME: DO NOT BE A VICTIM.
The story of David and Goliath in the Book of 1Samuel chapter 17 is a popular Bible story. We shall use this Bible story as a case study for this article.
Mind game, a calculated psychological manipulation, to confuse and intimidate to have an advantage.
As a result; victims have a low-self-esteem, allowing fear and inferiority complex, two destructive and humiliating weapons of self-defeat to overwhelm them.
Goliath was able to cause the Israeli army to flee for forty days and forty nights by articulately applying mind game tactics.

Mr TORTOISE AND IT’S OWNER.
By Rev. Udechukwu Nnaji
The owner of Mr tortoise was highly indebted to many creditors. One day, a creditor came to him for his money. A few hours after the creditor had left, another creditor came in demanding in futility to be paid his money. In a short interval of four hours, twelve creditors had visited its owner.
Mr tortoise, a crafty creature, is so ugly and dull. It lives inside its shell and comes out of its shell only when it wants to walk or look for food to eat.
But Mr tortoise is…

Like wildfire, it spread across the country and beyond. Accumulated anger from a citizenry that has suffered so much dehumanisation. Now added with Police brutality.
A nationwide outcry against the brutality of a Police unit meant to protect the people from the menace of armed robbery and kidnapping in a country with a high crime rate. But the unit turned anti-people which provoked protests across the cities of Nigeria.
In the beginning, there was the usual silence in Aso Rock, Nigeria’s seat of power notorious for I-don’t-care-attitude on earlier complaints about the cruelty of the Police…

Faking is the norm in my country. A fake nation of strange bedfellows. Brought together by the whims and fancies of the white merchants for the promotion of their businesses and the expansionist interests of Britain.
Unimportant was a name fit for the conquered nations that were forced into a union without their consents. Any name given was good, after all, what is in a name!
Miss Flora Shaw, the girlfriend of our slave master, Lord Frederick Lugard, in a frenzy of romance, was not short of one, and that became it. She coined a name…
And He said, “Go and tell this person: Keep on hearing but do not understand; Keep on seeing but do not perceive.”Make the heart of this people dull, And their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; Lest they see with their eyes, And hear with their ears, And understand with their heart, And return to be healed.” Isaiah 6:9–10.
Yes, those the gods must destroy they first made mad. Egocentrism is the precursor to self-destruct. It blindfolds one from seeing any other one other than himself. It blurs the eyes and thoughts of its victims. What another way could one…
