iKOH and Co

Introducing...

iKOH & Co!

Although, political leadership has been seriously smeared with all manner of corrupt practices over the years, I am of the opinion that people of credible character can make noticeable and uncompromising change.

That won't just happen with any random guy that is morally upright and honest. Virtues need to be tested and tried with nearly irresistible baits over a long period of time to be "trusted".

"KOH & Co" therefore presents a platform for expression, training and exhibition. A virtuesmith. A refinery for crude leadership trait.

I hereby give myself up for tutelage. Teach me and I'll learn. Reprove me and I will have a rethink. Call me to order when I'm heading to the path of insubordination, I'll make a U-Turn. Encourage me when I'm getting it right. Reward me when I deserve it.

A better society is possible! A better Nigeria is possible!! A better world is possible!!!

JUMP OFF THE CLIFF

I recently watched two ants on the lid of my pot. They walked up from God-knows-where when they noticed the change in temperature. So, the hotter the pot became, the more restless they became. They walked from one end to the other as fast as their tiny legs permitted.

After some time, one "jumped" off what seems more like a cliff and guess what? It landed on the table bearing the cooker! It immediately took to its heel as though it is chased by a faster predator.

Seriously, when I saw it slide off the lid, I pitied the poor creature as I thought it's heading straight for the cooker (which is expected to be much hotter than the pot lid). But as God'll have it, it never happened as I rationally thought it would...

We all came into the world without being asked. That is, no one chose to be born. No one chose to be born black or white. No one chose to be born by rich or poor parents. No one chose to be born in a particular location. No one chose to be born on a particular date and time. You just grew up to know that you were born some few years back. That enough is a lesson for us all. How do I mean?

From the facts above, you will agree with me that life is a 'risksphere'. Wait, don't reach for your dictionary yet, you won't find that word there. Let me explain it. Can you remember biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere? Aha! Risksphere is simply a territory of uncertain possibilities. Where you just must plunge into, without a compass or fore-knowledge. But you are expected to arrive the land of fulfillment successfully.

You didn't even bother to ask "what happened to the second ant?". I'll tell you anyway. It eventually got roasted and got blown off the pot lid afterwards. Hmm, they both got off the death zone but only one made it alive. And that was the one that took a giant leap into a seeming uncertainty...

To stay alive, you may have to #JumpOffTheCliff. To effect a change or make a reasonable impart, you'll have to #JumpOffTheCliff. Complacency makes you feel safe but it is a symptom of insecurity. Try new things. Think outside the box. Never limit yourself to what you think you can do. There are a million and one undiscovered potentials in you!

Do have a fallow-ground breaking week ahead!

Boti and Pako

Someone saw me flossing my teeth sometimes ago and asked if I am an ‘Ajebo’. I was kind of sarcastic about such a question. My counter-question was “Is it only Ajebo that flosses?” Later that week, someone else made a comment that got me more confused about Ajebo and ‘Ajepako’.

I was coming from heroGARDENS and he was surprised to see me with farming tools. He couldn’t conclude on what I was using them for, so he decided to ask me. I told him I have a garden and he laughed me to scorn. “You fit farm?” He asked rhetorically. He advised me not to waste my time and little energy in starting up a garden.

Meanwhile, he asked to see how far I’ve gone to know the extent to which I’ve wasted my time…

When we got there, you need to see the surprise on his face. Instead of looking at the farm, he changed his gaze and focused on me with his lips ajar. “I though you are an Ajebo oh” was his first comment after recovering from what seem to be a shock. My question now is: “Who/What is an Ajebo?”

the UNIQUE YOU

Glad to inform you all about my book "the UNIQUE YOU" ...coming pretty soon!

Meanwhile, you can like the facebook page here Thanks!

NO CALENDAR

"The start of a day, week, month or year determines how good or bad it will be" ...what a big LIE!
If the questions running through your mind is that of "WHY?"
I must be instant to tell you that God the creator is no respecter of time or TIDE...
How does it matter -1st or 31st of JULY?
Why then should you limit your divinely made infinite SIGHT?
When you can actually open your wings of possibilities and soar HIGH.
Down here are so many woe that might betide but great chances and privileges pile up the SKY.
Defy laziness and mount the stairs. Do it quickly. Oh, come on, don't be SHY!
For me, it's high time I got myself a PARADISE!
1st July, 2013.

Can't Stand Sinning Against Me, Myself and I

I can offend my mum! She'll forgive me of course...
My dad may scold me but he'll sure forgive me too...
Leave me to my friends, I'll handle them...we know how we do our things afterall!
God? Oh, He has forgiven me my sins even before the birth of my great grand father's mother!
Wow, I'm good to go then!
But, What if I offend myself? Oh come on, that's not possible...
Wait-wait-wait! It's actually possible -I can sin against my body as stated in I Cor. 6:18. (ehn...ehn...*scratching my head*). Hey, No stammering! Here's my CONCLUSION: Since fornication is the only sin against my body; I, on behalf of me, myself and I; do solemnly pledge to steer clear of sex until my marital status reads 'married'.

So help me God!

The Greatest Footballer of all Time!

Argentina star -Lionel Messi has again reinstated his status as the greatest player on the planet by becoming the first player to win FIFA's prestigious Ballon d'Or title for four consecutive years.

The Barcelona forward, who broke a number of records in 2012, beat teammate Andres Iniesta and Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo to an award voted for by national coaches, captains and journalists.

The 25-year-old polled 41.60% of the votes, ahead of Ronaldo on 23.68% and Iniesta with 10.91%, to win his fourth title in a row.

Using this medium to say a big congratulations to the football Lion himself... Messi all the way!!!

Divine Top Up

Wow, it feels so great to be part of those who made it to this year! First, I will want to congratulate you for the successful crossover -so many people were not that graced. I therefore want to thank God on your behalf (that’s the least I can do).

But come to think of it… if God were to be one of these telecommunication companies that charge 50 Kobo per second; you may have to subscribe for this year with fifteen million, three hundred and seventy-nine thousand, two hundred Naira (N15,379,200)! I doubt if you would have made it but I am sure I would not have been able to pay such a huge sum of money. Hmm, thank God for God!

Talking about 2013, there have been several prophecies and projections but I will be the most selfish individual if I do not share my personal insight with you… Have you ever heard of ‘German Dozen’ before? If yes, cool and if no, I’ll tell you. German Dozen is thirteen i.e. Normal Dozen plus one. Generally, thirteen means extra (12+1) and by the virtue of this, the Lord will top up all the blessing packages that He has in store for you and your loved ones this year and beyond!
Welcome to the year of extra...
