  I have often been asked by her (Don't ask me who, Wink) why I love her, because most times she feels she doesn't deserve it. Well, you trust me now, like an orator that I am, I have often convinced her with some reason. But lately,  I have been asking myself, Should there be a reason why you love someone? *Well, you can't love someone without a reason* I am sure will be your response! But indulge me for a moment, don't you think your love for someone based on a particular reason will surely go away when that reason is no more? And we wonder why many relationship break up for no concrete reason, why every 2 out of 3 girls are already divorced. *I don't just know what happened, i don't feel anything for him/her anymore* is usually the chorus! its easy to fall out of love if the reason you feel in love in the first place doesn't exist anymore! Don't get it wrong, receiving or buying gifts for your partner is a way of expressing love, w...

We can complain all day about how wrong this administration has gone, but the reality is, whatever is going wrong with this administration today did not start with  this administration! These are the summation of the wrongs caused by past administrations! I am no politician, i don't belong to any party but i do love my country and i believe if this country will be made whole again and be where we all desire it to be, then we must realize its a change that cant be caused by one man or one administration, it must be a joint effort from a united people with one mindset of causing change! The so called economic crises the country is in today was not caused by just any administration per say but by Nigerians themselves and by Nigerians i mean politicians down to the masses! When you have a country with natural resources but depend too much on imported goods and services, that country can never escape the stage we are in now! Lets not go too far, lets keep it simple so w...

Let me bring this to your notice that most successful people are those that truly understand what it means to be disciplined, determined, be passionate and to master their fear! Sometime ago, when I newly joined the Unique Press Club, Auchi on my first day at rehearsal I was asked to try anchor an Opinion Pool show, I stepped out but was speechless due to stage fright and all the piercing eyes all over me. At that point our Chief Presenter came out to assist me there by making me his assistant presenter. Within no time I got over my fear and played along the program. Observations were made by my other participants, and it was so shocking to me that no fault was really found on me. I left the stage with smiles on my face, but with thoughts in my heart cause I knew where I had gone wrong, I knew I had doubted my self and allowed fear overcome my  courage. I stood at one edge of the platform thinking about my flaws and wishing I had done something more astonishing e...

Welcome back, I hope you have been enlightened through this segment; My Flaws My Laws. From another perspective, let's look at the definition of mistakes; Mistakes are the four walls of which lifes' lesson are learnt from. It teaches us different ways of avoiding errors in the future, and at the end gives us a result of success when we learn from them . It also shows the zeal and spirit of a trying nature of a person who is ready to make a difference despite his or her past failures at different stage. The act of trying not to make mistakes can become a decision or an action that we come to regret. As it will not only stump our growth, it also goes to deny us of any breakthrough. Common, think about it, it's common sense, it's  no scientific discovery, two words make up the word breakthrough: BREAK & THROUGH. Forgive my language here, but I believe before you go THROUGH a wall or a locked door, there must be a BREAKING! One shocking thing about mistak...

How long will you remain a child? How long will you keep your Shephard running after you with food? How long will you keep celebrating everyone around you without your victory in sight? How long will it be before you start realizing your place as a son? How long.... Apostle Paul speaking;1 Cori 13:11 When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things . Don't you know that the Mysteries of this Kingdom are foolishness to a child? They can't practice them. Don't you know your blessings are in DOING and not just in HEARING? It's good that faith cometh by hearing but if you don't put what you hear to work you won't know how do you know it works! Many Pastors are getting thinner daily for they continue in praying and fasting daily for the expectations of the people to be met, because these people have refused to understand they too carry the power to work out their ...

I hear people saying, oh his life is so perfect that is why he is always inspired and going about preaching and being inspirational! Well, that's not true, I have had my own measure of challenges, I am having some right now, I have failed a couple times, in school, I have organized some programs that didn't turn out the way I intended, I have had to go some hours with out food before, I have had several disappointment in relationships, I have been betrayed, miss-understood, cursed at, for fifteen years I was leaving with some other 6 persons in one room! But you see what differentiate me is that I refused to give in to past hurts & disappointments, I took my eyes off the rear mirror and put my focus ahead, decided to become who God says I am! I refused to be defined by my circumstances, my family background, my education or by what people presume about me. God has promised me the top, why should I settle for less. Why others see their challenges as their breaki...

 First time I read this article, I was really impressed and just loved it, not because  I haven't read any other similar article as this but  because of its simplicity, totally practical and you will find out everyone struggling with their finance is guilty of these Ten habits. I just had to put it up for you guys to read too. Special thanks to Mr Barry Maher  @barrymaher for the permission to repost this, you can check his site here for more of these articles.

Here are 10 habits of financially healthy people: #1: They Track their Spending This is the number one habit that every personal financial advisor or planner will tell you to develop. Hence it’s ...

Obedience in this Kingdom is a key factor to living the life that God designed for us! You only truly obey those you love. And there is no other better way to prove your love for Jesus except through your obedience to every of His word. Jesus speaking one time in John 14:23(NIV): “...Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching..." The proof of your love for Him is your obedience to His teachings. It's unfortunate that many run around in church, shouting and jumping as the message is on going, they even pay some sacrificial seeds but because they hardly obey God's instructions after church services, they still lack the evidences of a true believer! Please understand that truly, Obedience is better than Sacrifice! It's your obedience to every word of God that places you ahead of your peers not your sacrifices. Why obedience? Just a few... Your fruitfulness is tied to the instructions you obey. Isa.1:19 Living a prosperous and prolonged life is tied to...

Over the years, I have made mistakes and learned from them, because nobody is perfect, though mistakes can be sometimes frustrating and criticism hard to swallow but please understand that mistakes are a natural part of life. Often it's not the mistake you make that causes the problem it's your reaction afterwards that most time causes the problem !  These facts gives me reasons to ask; How do you react when you're given an opportunity to try out something new? Do you get scared of messing it up? Do you know that your star gets bigger each time you try out something new?.. Often times while trying out something new, mistakes are bound to be made on first trial. But consistency and correction taking distinguishes you from failures and help build's up your walls of confidence and perfection.. "People don't come to work to mess up. They want to feel needed. They want to be committed" G. Curt Jones. One time, I was priviledge to be a guest in an op...

Most time you hear great teachers and philosophers say "There are people merely existing and not living" Even I, say it some times, in most cases one would expect someone from the audience to ask a question about how one should start living and not merely be existing! Well, maybe they got their answers from the message, but my point is many still get out of such meetings and still move on with their lives, keep existing the way they were existing before they came for that meeting. I am very sure of this because I did same a couple of times in some meetings I attended, it was when I actually started "doing" that I started living! Is this article on Living & Existing? You are right, nope, it's not... But indulge me for a moment, I can bet that in most of those meetings there was really no definition given on "living" & "existing" Well, so you get my point, let's settle that now! According to the English Dictionary; To EXIST is ...

March 5th 8am Dear Diary, I am Finally settling in, but this morning I am feeling sore all over. I guess my body has finally recognized the change in environment. I think I might be coming down with a fever, I knew this was going to happen, you can hardly get a decent drinking water here plus the mosquitos here are really out for blood! Complaining about them to a neighbor one time, she jokingly answered and said they were welcoming  me... This is certainly not a warm welcome I thought to myself seeing that I have mosquito bite marks all over my body. Due to inadequate preparation I forget to come with a mosquito balm or net not that I am sure it would work against these mosquitoes here,  but maybe it would have been of some help, but it's certainly now among the list of what to buy when next I go to town. Where do I get drugs for this? Is the question I have been asking myself all morning, it was hard enough to locate a bank and since I have been around I haven't really...

Divine mandates are always accompanied with divine grace! Read how the English Dictionary defines the word *Mandate* An official or authoritative command; an order or injunction; a commission; a judicial precept . Simply put; To Authorize! Divine mandates are divine/supreme instructions from God to an individual! What is God's mandate to every believer! Acts  26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee ; It goes on to say in verse 18; To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me. Somebody will say, well this was Jesus giving Paul his mandate, true but the same still goes to us! Jesus is still giving everyone this sam...

8pm Ha! Can't believe the trouble I had to go through just to cook myself something to eat, setting up a place to cook wasn't easy, the house where I got an accommodation is made up of six rooms with a long hall separating them, making it three rooms on each sides with no kitchen, it was like I was back to school again, only that this time it was very different. Back then at school, the houses were pretty, more comfy and it smelled better, plus I didn't really live in one of those houses I just visited some friends there. After much debate, I finally decided to set up my kitchen just outside my door, this meant I had to keep an eye on it not because I didn't want the food getting burnt but because I don't have much trust for anyone here yet, it's better safe than sorry! Back home, though I still complained about cooking but we pretty much had it easy! Too easy! You pretty much cooked and ate, slept at the same place. Life in the city is a distinct contrast...

March 4th 2016 Dear diary, this is my second day here now and so far, it's been crazy! Came back late yesterday as I feared, turns out the bank was way off this Village! I was able to get some stuffs, even though they were not really up to my taste, I guess I will make do with what I have! I finally put a call through to my family, I called Lekan first, I could barely hear him, but he sounded angry, something about why I didn't tell him about my trip, I guess he called home and they told him about it... Awww, whatever! Mom was happy to finally hear from me, she kept asking "omo mi (my child) are you alright, are you safe, what are you eating, how are you coping?. ..  So many questions, I could barely say anything, when she finally gave me a chance to speak, I just told her I was ok, that she shouldn't worry about me. I guess Dad is still pissed at me, cos he wouldn't talk to me, mom said not to worry about him that he will eventually come around, so I have de...

I woke up today 8am . I almost forgot to write on you today, this whole diary thing is new to me, I only decided on keeping one few weeks ago and from where I stand right now, I think it was a pretty wise decision. I mean, here I am on a strange land with no friends or family "yet", with none to talk to, you are all I have got! Talking about friends and family, I wonder what must be going through the heads of my so called perfect friends, traitors! I know for sure, mom and dad would be worried sick, I haven't tried calling them, moreover the cell reception here is just terrible, I wonder if this place is even in the map of this country! Leaving home for this quest was not easy, mom pleaded with me "Temi, be reasonable, dad just kept shouting "this is total madness" . He just kept asking why his only daughter, with a degree on international relations, a good one at that will suddenly want to go and spend a month vacation on some remote village and not ...

 M arch 1st 2015 Hmm, where do I start from, don't really know how to do this, but I heard keeping a journal or Diary can help relieve stress, trust me, I have so much I need relief from. So I guess I will start with introducing myself... Dear diary, I am Temtope Olohuntoyin, friends call me temi, enemies? I don't really care much what they think. I was born some 27yrs ago into the family of mr and mrs olohuntoyin mom damilola dad bidemi. Live in Lagos Nigeria. My parents story, I think it's best we reserve it for another day, It is a handful. As an only child I am so loved, I went to the best of schools, have the best of everything, well almost everything... Recently, I over heard my friends talking about me, some how they think I have had everything handed down to me, born with a silver spoon, blah blah blah... I must say I was shocked at first, but then again that's what most friends do, talk about you behind your back. I just wish they knew it's not as ...
