I said I thought it was an overcorrection, which I can speak on as a Black person because we, alone, get to decide how we feel personally about something that could be racist or offensive.
I did NOT say anything about “being woke” being an issue or a problem EVER.

What y’all NOT gon’ do is infer that I believe — or EVER said — that being cognizant of the hate and racism and micro-aggressions in this white-supremacy-fueled nation is a bad thing.
An #OverCorrection means folks CARED about not being hateful
#BeingWOKE is the GOAL.

#BeingWoke & the use of the word #Woke was OUR thing. WE told each other to #StayWoke. It was OUR way of encouraging & reminding each other that better can come if we stay vigilant & focused on moving forward despite the hate.

If I want to move close to God and follow Jesus, these are key.
Daily, how do I connect with God?
A morning liturgy lights the fire of your soul.
Silence. Scripture. Prayer. Calendaring your day with Holy Spirit.
“Set it and forget it.” Do it when you don’t feel like it. 2/

It’s like working out. It does the work for you. Your commitment is to show up.
The Holy Spirit shows up every day and does the work in your soul. Your commitment is to show up too. This discipline alone will change your life and open you to God’s presence. 3/

I don’t yet know how this war will go, all I know is this, a year from now we will be doing a case study on this man, every newspaper will be hailing a name that as of yesterday we could not even pronounce, as a war hero. Volodymyr Zelensky is going to be known as a man who… 
through social media changed the worlds view of Ukraine. I was sharing with my friends yesterday, I’ve never seen TikTok posts on war! Never before has the record of history been more closely surveilled for accuracy and accountability than it is in this mobile phone savvy
generation. Smart people are being vastly displaced by an army of smart phones held by ordinary people. Social media has forced both past and present to occupy a hyper present where the narrative is being taken away from mainstream media story brokers and given to every day
What is spiritual business? Don't just throw words around for the sake of it. Business principles are business principles. When applied works for anyone. Salvation is an entirely different conversation.

@zeekdassah because Christians have refused to participate in business and interact, decisions are being made that affect Christians and there is nothing we can do. Why do you think God or Jesus is bleeped on TV like a curse word?? Because we are not siting at the table.
@zeekdassah it is ignorant of any Christian to avoid the world in the name of Spirituality. Jesus said "Go ye into the world and preach the gospel" doesn't mean interacting with the world? Go and read Jeremiah 28 and 29. We need to stop putting God in a box
If you have ever created anything that succeeds, you will never criticize what you can’t execute better. ⛱
Many who strive to be famous hardly know much about the price tag. It’s like setting yourself up for a life in the spotlight with a highly distracted mob. They know your name but you really can’t connect to anyone in particular. They become your poison & addiction.
Unless of course you are a politician far away from an election year, where you need not give a F**k. Fame shackles you and unfortunately it is ephemeral. This is why a life of influence and impact is more profitable. No one can take away who you are in purpose.
This is why people should study the @SIAF_NG model for engaging change. It is called the Conscious Revolution Paradigm; strategic engagement beyond emotional tantrums. It works globally and with track record of successes even in Nigeria. #Selah
An anachronistic law/bill that is no longer fit for purpose is simply analyzed by experts with recommendation on the ideal with justification amidst public awareness just as done for #EndSARS #ReformPoliceNG (not the protest) and #ElectoralReform campaign.
This way, the needed political will is galvanized and proper objective engagement of the legislative is done by representatives of the movement for this change. This is not a one time event but a reiteration of several actions in an accountable & objective manner.
Distinguished, an Advocacy like ours can’t be hijacked. It will outlive all of us. Your protest is your right but if you choose to commercialize it & exchange it for Jollof rice on the Highway, that choice, people like us will have to respect. Cheers
I may not agree with the opportunists exploiting your vulnerability but I will forever support your rights to express your discontent. All I am saying is that we shouldn’t inconvenience others and make things worse. People’s businesses are suffering as we dance on the precipice.
Trust me I understand. There’s so much despair and our youth have nothing to lose. Unfortunately, our authorities are using old tactics to engage a new generation that is far more exposed than their rulers. You can’t divide us with religion, politics and ethnicity like before.
Many pray for greater lights in Israel but they only come when more of the darkness is removed from us through the purging and pruning of TMH Many of you have ran from the fire and have professed things with your lips for long enough, how long will lip service be enough from you?
His wrath is kindled Again’s t those with lip service and who run from the threshing floor, from those who don’t wait on him, he is waiting, how long must he wait for you? How long will you make the assignment wait?
How long will you focus one one part of the assignment than the other? Balance is necessary and without balance you will be deceived: without balance you will fall away under the strong delusion. Seek my face until I say it’s time to arise.
Pure Worship: A Thread
I’ve been told that consistent praise and worship (INTIMATE RELATIONSHIP) keep you close to the realm of the supernatural. The understanding of this is the fact that relationship keep us submitted and in faith.

Our faith is based on our RELATIONSHIP and time spent with Yah. Faith is vital in worship unless we desire for our worship to be nothing more than lip service.
"But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him."

"I want to share a personal experience that I hope would teach most Nigerians a vital lesson about appreciating legal counsel and services.
A lesson that I hope would reset the minds of Nigerians who often ask;
"what's the big deal about lawyers?
"Is it not to copy and paste agreements?".
Or those who say "lawyers are overrated".
I pray you won't learn the hard way like my client just did.

I was about twelve having grown to watch my dad come home quarterly from Abuja to empty his purse in order to offset all the backlog of bills cum fulfill all the wish lists of his four children. For my mum & siblings this is part of the responsibility of being a Dad. #Fatherhood
In as much as I loved my dad for being responsible having lived within his means as an executive civil servant or repute, I’ve wished to believe all that he did. His impeccable records and life of integrity can’t be erased but the truth remains that our world has changed.
In my father’s days, working as a bureaucrat was a life purpose that rewards with gratuity and life pensions once you put in the work and advance in your career till retirement. But those jobs are extinct now. Even where their shadows exist, no promise is guaranteed.
On several interviews and news reportage, I’m erroneously introduced as a lawyer because I’m into advocacy. I am NOT a Lawyer, not title driven and certainly can't be boxed. My struggle need not become my identity lest I’m sapped of living/relevance without a battle.⛱
My certificates were many years ago and nothing conditions me to remain the same man I was last month. Our youth lack role models and I won't be part of the ‘Icarus Deception’ that suggests that you have to have a title to be impactful or influential in society.
I have chosen to be a ‘No One’ an ordinary Human being contributing my quota to Nation Building for future generation sake. This is easy to aspire to become than seeking to gather titles or certificates. I am a lot of things but supremely a Human. Be true to your humanity.

According to @who, Deaths from hepatitis have been increasing over the past 2 decades, which points to a lack of global awareness and action, including among top decision-makers.
Despite this situation, much can be done👇🏽.

Hepatitis can be prevented, diagnosed, treated and managed well. The hepatitis B vaccine is 98-100% effective in preventing new infections.
But how many of us have ever heard about it?
How many have taken action (Gotten Screened and vaccinated (ifnegative)
Treated when positive?

Inside the arena about 30 minutes to kick off, there was tension, particularly when delegates were being cleared and admitted into the arena.
The bloodshot eyes of many delegates as they exchanged 'war' diatribes were matters for concern.

There were five aspirants, but only three were truly up for it,struggling to become the zones flagbearer. This was reason for the tension on ground.
When reading someone else’s life journal, you don’t argue with his facts simply because you are yet to see what he sees. Read to understand and tame the attempt to protect your fragile bubble of indoctrination. Stop fighting people trying to save you from your ignorance.
I’m not caught in the tangle of anyone’s life thus my linguistic proclivity shouldn’t warrant your hatred. I am not your problem, the deliberately compromised educational system is. I’m trying to redeem you but you are proving to be beyond redemption.
I seek for nothing yet sacrifice my privacy to care for those who love their chain so much that they can kill to remain enslaved. Most politicians will never save a world in which they no longer have a stake in or control. I’m not them, I need no stake to be human.
The @SPNigeria HE Bukola Saraki in all honesty has shown leadership across board. His leadership of the senate preserved our democracy and having defected will no doubt emerge as a National Leader of the party he is currently in. It is all about results. #CelestialObservation
The myth most poverty stricken minds seem to get trapped in is thatvthe only purpose of power is self enrichment just as they assume the only purpose of a company is to maximize profits. Such thoughts are not only fictitious but dangerous and destructive.
Organizations just like governments exist to make things better for people & never the reverse. This is why firms have payoff lines and political parties have manifestos (highlighting their priorities). When firms are profitable enough to grow, they allocate a budget for CSR.

A Ship is always safe at shore but one must always ask if that’s what it’s built for. It is easy to have people in our lives who tell us what to do next, parents who have not stopped parenting their wards even when they have kids of their own. #PictureThis
We often get used to these cushions and instructions of next steps while we look forward to a time when we will be announced to have arrived. Sadly with life, there’s no such thing as an arrival.
I will forever come clean to you. I have never been under so much pressure both from those who now believe they have a team player and those who need me on their side to assure themselves that their political enemies won’t have a munition in me. But I will never leave the people.
Over the years we have seen many Activists compensated to leave their struggle. Many are living examples of this compromise but thankfully I am No One let alone an Activist. If there is such a political party as Independents, that is where I will be. Right by the people.
For many years Power has come at the expense of Change because the flesh & wants for vanity have lured valiant men to the temptation of compromising their convictions. The people deserve a critical mass of transformational leaders & enlightened followers who won’t need an office.
