SEE THE CHANGE


This interview was in February 2004, three months after Eji Owuro was released.



When challenges come, and it looks like I should give up, I am led to, with staying strong and being sure of The Father's mercy, read my old books, look at old pictures, and see how far the mercy of GOD has brought me.

Line upon line, step on step, on purpose, I am here. And still going on, strong and steady. Here cannot even compare to the beauty of "there", as much as I am deeply thankful and privileged to have been here at all.

Whoever you are, let your hope rise again at this time. It is a journey. Success does not happen "just like that". You got here, you'll get there. And I am talking to myself too!
Raise your head up, square your shoulders, it'll occur to you that your feet have been made strong all this while, you only didn't know because your head was bowed in discouragement!

You've found it like me? Keep at it. You are not sure of it? Put in more effort at what you've found for now, it'll unfold. You are confused about it? Be your best at what you're doing now and strive to find it, you'll find.

You'll see the change. I see the change. The growth. The transformation. The metamorphosis wasn't easy. A lot of groanings, but still keeping on. Even as a higher step is being climbed now, but I see the change. See the change!

Remember that Baba Abraham laughed himself, who directly got the promise? Not to talk of Mama Sarah? Both of them! Check out The Book properly again! Remember the change they eventually saw? I am trying to say, it may tarry but it won't! Ó lè pé sugbon kò lè yè!
This has been my confidence over the years, coupled with doing whatever my hands find to do with all my might, living by the values of The Father, learning from every situation, picking that which is beneficial to me, using the method of separation, seclusion, segregation; my mind being transformed everyday.

And I see the change! Oh, I see the change! And I shall see the change! Yes, I shall!

See the change! Oh, you shall see the change!

Reflect a bit. Disallow and diffuse all the pressure pushing you. Think back, sincerely. See the change!

We shall see the change!

WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO PUSH FOR TRUE CHANGE? Austria on December 12, 2018, made history by electing the world's youngest president, who is 31 years old. His name is Sebastian Kurz. Before those elections, he was the country's foreign minister. While our youth are contented with being used, praise singers and be special assistants on social media, youth elsewhere are disrupting the status quo, pushing for innovation, changing the narrative and pushing for new frontiers. From Facebook to Snapchat and Taxify, these tech giants were founded by millennials who are youth. Mark Zukerberg is just 32 years old and the youngest billionaire in the world. The bar has been raised in Austria, that elected a 31 year old man, as its leader. A 31 year old man in Africa, is probably in his parents house, unemployed, broke, eating free food and not bothered. The 31 year old Africans are feeling big, supporting politicians (who directly or indirectly put us in the mess we are in),
WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE Nri Chinenye Audrey. It has been overwhelming, overwhelmingly exhausting. With every second of exhaustion died the dream and the promise to stay true to myself To be relevant To live and answer to my calling That voice within slowly becoming stifled as I gradually eased into the oblivion where I do not need to work my mind of creativity Where I become normal, regular And my purpose and calling to life, dead... Somewhere, somewhere within, the voice cried My conscience cried out powerfully loud in its small voice to remind me of our pact, that... WE DON'T DO NORMAL ANYMORE. And I awakened.. . . . What is your dream? What challenges are you going through that has made you so weary to the point of forfeiting your dreams? What is that thing that is causing you great distractions? The road to achieving much in life comes with many obstacles. Sometimes you get distracted, confused, overwhelmed, weary from failing too many a time. Whil
FROM AN INSECURE HOUSEWIFE TO AN INTERNATIONAL CELEBRATED MAKEUP ARTIST By Love Olaleye As an undergraduate in the university, I engaged in different business like buying and selling clothes, making zobo, just to earn some money to augment the pocket money that never seemed enough. None of these businesses brought me the kind of joy I experienced when I decided to pursue my passion in makeup. First I became a Mary Kay rep; I would sell and show students how to use the products they bought. The joy that beams on their faces was fulfilling, despite the frustration of running after debtors. I remember my first bride who happened to have been my friend who was kind enough to allow me experiment on her face. As I drove out early hours of the morning around 6am, my car brakes suddenly failed, I ran into a tree off the road but God saved me, no scratch, I came out and the car was badly damaged. As the car was being towed home, it was a decisive moment, I had to decide wheth
