When your eyes become your lord, you will be bound to satisfy all their cravings—whether good or evil.

“Do not take anything with you when leaving, okay?” the elderly man warned sternly. His voice echoed through the small room as he addressed the four young men taking shelter in his home. A violent storm had swept through the city, stranding them on their way back to their respective universities.

“Yes, sir,” they chorused, watching the elderly man quietly step out of the room.

Charles flopped onto the bed, eyes roaming across the ceiling.
“This room looks like it hasn’t been used in a century,” he said.

“How would you know?” Peter asked, unpacking his bag.

“Look at those drawings. They look like Mediterranean-era paintings.” He pointed toward the ceiling.

“Historian!” Henry mocked, making the others burst into laughter.

“I’m serious,” Charles insisted. “I bet there are ancient antiques in this house. First thing tomorrow, I’m going searching.”

“Remember what the old man said,” John reminded him.

“Forget the old man,” Charles replied, shutting his eyes with a smirk.

The next day, the storm cleared. The water receded, and the sun pierced through the clouds. The housemaster gathered the boys and gave them parting words of wisdom. In return, they handed him small tokens of appreciation and went on their way.

But not long after their departure, the housemaster made a troubling discovery—one of his most precious antiques was missing.

Panicked, he raised an alarm. The neighbors quickly rallied and pursued the young men. When they caught up with them, a search was conducted—and the missing item was found tucked inside Charles' bag.

They were all arrested and thrown into a prison cell.

This fictional tale echoes the ancient story of Achan—a man who let his eyes override the commandments of God.

Achan saw, desired, and took—and his disobedience brought ruin not only upon himself, but upon his people.

Just like Charles, when the eyes become your master, you’ll be driven to satisfy every craving, regardless of consequence.

Beware what your eyes fixate on—because what you stare at too long, you may start to crave. And what you crave, you may soon disobey to obtain.

The Parable of the Ten Virgins is found in Matthew 25:1–13. Jesus tells this parable to emphasize the importance of being prepared for His return. The lessons from this parable are;

1. Be Prepared at All Times

Five wise virgins took extra oil, representing readiness.

Five foolish virgins did not, symbolizing neglect.

The wise could not share their oil with the foolish.

Lesson: Each person is responsible for their own condition. No one can rely on another’s efforts to achieve their goals.

2. Appearance Is Not Enough

All ten were virgins, all were invited, and all looked prepared at first.

Only the ones with oil were truly ready.

3. There Will Be a Time When It’s Too Late

The foolish virgins tried to prepare after the bridegroom arrived, but the door was shut.

Lesson: There is a time limit to respond to any call. After which anyother time will be too late.

4. True Readiness Requires Action, Not Just Waiting

The wise virgins actively brought extra oil.

Lesson: Readiness requires continuous effort.

Jesus ended the parable with the command: “Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Lesson: We must live daily with preparation and hard work in view, resisting complacency and slumber.

Dream About Bathing, In the physical realm, the purpose of bathing is for personal hygiene. It is a means of achieving cleanliness by washing away dirt’s from the body. In the spirit realm, if you see yourself bathing, it symbolizes purification, cleansing and good health. For example, if a sick person is taking his or her bath in the dream, it shows the word of the Lord is about to bring healing and restoration unto his path. If you dream that a person is peeping at you during bath, it implies you are being watched by enemy. This is an indication that the wall of your protection is broken and this will give rise to the spirit of shame and disgrace. A bath in the dream is a symbol of a big transformation coming ahead. You must be prepared for this testimony. Making an effort to take a bath means that a person is inviting satanic embargo. If you are taking a hot bath in your dream, this means uncomfortably, and troubles, but also sickness, and loss of beauty are the uncommon signs. If you bath in a flowing river, you will have problems relating with marine and household witchcraft. If you are taking bath with a clean water, it indicates prosperity, long life, good health and progress. However, bathing in a dirty water in your dream is sign that your life is in a state of pollution. This show that you are experience a high level of sinful practice. Kindly use the blood of Jesus to purge out every sin in your life through daily confession. If you were bathing with someone in your dream, such dream might not be a good sign. It signify you are attached to a spirit who is bringing problems on your path. Embark on 3 days prayers and fasting with Psalm 107:20, Psalm 51, Psalm 102, Psalm 118.

*PHONE IN CHURCH?*

I just watched the above video from a church where the usher collects members' phones during the service, perhaps those scrolling through social media, and hand them a Bible instead. They get their phones back after the service.

At first, it feels radical… but maybe that's exactly what we need in these Churches where their pastors are afraid to speak the truth because they don't want to lose members.

If we don’t intentionally guard the sacredness of our worship spaces, we’ll lose the reverence that makes them holy. This church took a bold step, and honestly? I think they got it right.

What do you think? Too extreme or right on time?

Over 2,200 years ago, a man measured the Earth… using shadows and a stick.

In the 3rd century BCE, in the great Egyptian city of Alexandria, lived a man named Eratosthenes.
Some mocked him by calling him Beta — the second letter of the Greek alphabet — implying he was second-best at everything. But in truth, he was an Alpha in knowledge.

Astronomer, geographer, philosopher, poet, historian, mathematician, and director of the Great Library of Alexandria — he was a true Renaissance man… centuries before the Renaissance.

One day, he read in a scroll that in the city of Syene (modern-day Aswan), on June 21st, the summer solstice, a vertical stick cast no shadow at noon. The sun stood directly overhead. But in Alexandria, on the same day and same hour, a stick did cast a shadow.

Where most would overlook such a detail, Eratosthenes saw a cosmic clue.

He reasoned:
If the Earth were flat, the sun’s rays would hit both sticks equally — the shadows would match. But they didn’t.
So, what could explain the difference?
Only a curved Earth.

He measured the angle of the shadow in Alexandria. It was about 7 degrees — roughly 1/50th of a full circle.
He hired someone to measure the distance between Syene and Alexandria: about 800 kilometers.
Then he did the math:
800 km × 50 = 40,000 km — the circumference of the Earth.

That’s astonishingly accurate.
No satellites. No telescopes. No calculators.
Just observation, curiosity, and a mind that dared to ask why.

Eratosthenes became the first person to calculate the size of a planet — and he did it by watching how a stick cast its shadow.

The Character. The Habit. The You.

At the end of the day, what really follows us isn’t just what we’ve said or achieved—it’s who we’ve become.
The character we have lived.
The habit we have formed.
The you that played the role.

Our character is the unseen voice that speaks for us even in our absence. It’s not built in the spotlight, it’s forged in the quiet, private choices we make when no one is watching us.

Our habits?
Well, as we know it is the small, repetitive steps that shape our direction.
They either grow us or ground us. Build us or break us.
We don’t rise to the level of our dreams by just dreaming—we fall to the level of our discipline. The rigorous process that forms that very habit.

And then there’s you !
The version of yourself you’re becoming daily.
Not the curated one for others, but the raw, real one. The one who’s learning, failing, showing up, healing, becoming.

So don’t just work on what you do; work on who you are.
Because eventually, the life you live will reflect the character, the habit, and the you, that you’ve built over time.

INTERNET AND THE EMERGING ZOMBIE GENERATION IN NIGERIA.

JAMB PERFORMANCE BY NIGERIAN STUDENTS SINCE 2007..

In 2007 -. 66% of NGR students scored 200 and above..

in 2008 - 63% scored 200 and above

2010 - 41% scored 200 and above..

2019 -. 24% scored 200 and above...

2023 - 23% scored 200 and above...

2025 - 22% scored 200 and above...

by 2035 if nothing is done to arrest this worrying decline, This yahoo and jenzzy generation will call for the ending of JAMB...

By 2050, university entry criteria will just be anyone who can spell his father's name...

most of this kids who fail JAMB and still get higher institution admission behave like kids who didn't attend primary school..

Education standard in NGR is in a state of coma ...
if nothing is done urgent.... it would be permanently buried....
Let’s stop lying.

*FUTURES CRUSHED. A NATION EXPOSED.*

- JAMB 2025 RESULT IS A DISASTER*

The 2025 JAMB results are here. A disaster. OVER 1.5 MILLION STUDENTS SCORED BELOW 200.

*WE ALL FAILED.*

PARENTS: YOU RAISED FRAUDS, NOT CHILDREN

You paid for “SPECIAL CENTRES” to cheat WAEC.
You cared more about BRAGGING RIGHTS THAN BEDTIME STORIES.
You taught your child to CUT CORNERS, NOT SOLVE PROBLEMS.
Now JAMB strips off the mask, and they drown.
What did you expect?
You wanted SHORTCUTS, NOT KNOWLEDGE.
Your child can’t think, but they know how to cheat. IS THIS PRIDE?

*DEAR SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS, YOU SOLD SOULS FOR PROFIT*

School owners, you hired teachers who couldn’t spell “education.”
Classrooms became TRADING FLOORS.

Teachers, you leaked exams, whispered answers, and called it “help.”

You had one job: TO BUILD MINDS. Instead, YOU BUILT LIARS.

Your students can’t write a sentence, but they know how to bypass integrity.
SHAME ON YOU.


*DEAR STUDENTS: YOU CHOSE EASY OVER EXCELLENCE*

TikTok over textbooks. Parties over past questions.

You mocked the “bookworms,” then prayed for miracles.

You thought JAMB would “sort itself.” Now reality hits: LIFE DOESN’T FORWARD ANSWERS IN A WHATSAPP GROUP.

You can afford to buy data, and get iPhones, but CAN'T BUY TEXTBOOKS OR SERIOUSNESS.

You gambled with your future. WAKE UP.


*TO OUR GOVERNMENT, YOU WATCHED THE FIRE BURN*

You UNDERFUNDED SCHOOLS UNTIL ROOFS CAVED IN.

You let UNQUALIFIED TEACHERS flood classrooms.

You ignored “MIRACLE CENTRES” because palms were greased.

Where are the POLICIES? THE OVERSIGHT? THE URGENCY?

You talk about “tomorrow’s leaders” while STRANGLING THE SCHOOLS meant to shape them.


*THIS IS OUR COLLECTIVE SHAME.*

*PICTURE THIS:*
Ten years from now, your child is the ENGINEER WHO BUILDS COLLAPSING BRIDGES,
The DOCTOR WHO KILLS PATIENTS,
The LEADER WHO STEALS BILLIONS.

IS THIS THE FUTURE YOU WANT?

We built this with:

1. Parents who VALUED TROPHIES OVER TRUTH,
2. Schools that SOLD CERTIFICATES, NOT CHARACTER,
3. Students who TRADED GRIT FOR GOSSIP,
4. And a government that LOOKED AWAY AND FAILED TO ACT.

It is nearly impossible for anyone who scored B’s & A’s in their WAEC WITHOUT MALPRACTICE to score below 200 in JAMB.

*SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY WRONG!*
