what do you want to become when you grow?

-

I was in kindergarten Sunday School when my teacher began asking us what we wanted to be when we grew up.

For some reason, there was no doubt in my mind. I told her, confidently, that I wanted to be a pastor.

That was the first occupation I ever expressed interest in, but it obviously wouldn’t be the last. A few years later, I had my heart set on being President of the United States. After another few years, I was going to become a pianist.

These days, I feel a little bit of a pull back to my kindergarten dreams.

But my pastor gave me a good piece of advice that’s stuck with me. After he suggested I should pursue ministry at some point, he told me that if I did, I should begin by studying something normal in college, getting a normal job, and living life for awhile. I shouldn’t jump straight into ministry.

So whether or not I will go into ministry someday, I intend to do just that.

And who knows, maybe my kindergarten dream will come true.

YOU HAVE TO RELIVE AN ENTIRE YEAR OF YOUR LIFE, WHICH YEAR WOULD YOU PICK, AND WHAT WOULD DO DIFFERENTLY

-

INTERACTION FOR THE DAY Good question. Well—3 years are candidates for being a year I’d be willing to repeat, but do something differently:.2013.2014.2016. What is it about these years that I’d be willing to relive any of, them & make changes? These were the years I knew an unbelievably pretty, cute girl, that I almost certainly regret my situation with & want to change. 2013 & 2014, well, that school year was when I originally knew her. I could relive the entirety of either of these calendar years & make it so that I don’t maintain shyness around her the entire school year, ESPECIALLY when she was seemingly kind to me. Granted, if I selected 2013, well, it wasn’t until late/fall 2013 when I first met her, so I’d have to wait 9 months, but in all honesty, it’d be unquestionably worth it in 2016. Now this is a long story, but I’ll try to keep it as short as possible (this is related to the girl, just a side note): In the 2014–15, & 2015–16 school years, I, having bee...

Senator Godswill Akpabio, the President of the Nigerian Senate, recently made a significant assertion regarding the anti-corruption stance of former President Muhammadu Buhari. In a statement that has garnered considerable attention, Akpabio declared that Buhari never personally embezzled public funds during his tenure as president. This declaration invites a closer look at the context of Buhari's administration, its anti-corruption efforts, and the public perception surrounding it. Buhari came to power in 2015 on the back of a strong anti-corruption mantra. His campaign promised to tackle the endemic corruption that had long plagued Nigeria's public sector. Throughout his eight years in office, his administration implemented several policies aimed at curbing financial malpractices. These included the Treasury Single Account (TSA), which centralized government revenue to reduce leakages, and the Integrated Personnel and Payroll Information System (IPPIS), designed to eliminate...
