Welcome to Our Common Sense Republic: The Truth Wears No Mask!

Hello, beloved people of conscience and courage. Welcome once again to our Common Sense Republic, where truth is unfolded, and served undiluted, and integrity stands tall without compromise.

Before I announce the time for our upcoming live broadcast, I urge you all, media houses, bloggers, journalists, followers, advocates, critical thinkers, and even the doubters to tag your family, friends, and fellow Nige

WHY THIS AND WHY NOW?

      One of the things that I have noticed about being a Christian writer from a biblical, business, and common-sense perspective is the following: When you look around and don’t see the type of writing on a subject in existence it is because the Lord has put it in you to get the job done. Thus, here comes a different kind of column on the subject of Bible Prophecy, written at a level which fits those who are the most in need of teaching on the subject…those who are on the

DON’T BE A LAB RAT: GET YOUR REST!

     This one goes out to the teens in the house!

     During my teaching years, I watched over the course of time as the teens under my charge either started arriving to class with coffee, or would be sleeping in class following late night sessions with their video games or some other ‘clicky-clicky’ device. In either case, students expected me—as their teacher—to feel ‘sorry’ for them and let them sleep through the lesson of the day. They found out the hard wa

Dream trip to Nepal for Annapurna base camp trek (ABC) (4130m.) is known as Annapurna sanctuary trek is often referred to as the Annapurna sanctuary trek and it's called that for good reason. The Annapurna Base Camp sits in a natural amphitheater of towering peaks including Annapurna I (8,091m), Machapuchare (also called Fishtail), Hiunchuli, and others. Because of this dramatic, almost sacred setting, locals and trekkers alike began calling it a "sanctuary." It's both spiritually significant an

HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 3

     Before we head further into the last part of this series, I wanted to lay out a few items for young men to consider. I’m not going to pull any punches. This first item is going to be a doozy and has been ducked and dodged in our modern era by BOTH society and the church.

     It has become ‘fashionable’ for girls and women to birth Out Of Wedlock children. In fact, the system has so ‘rigged’ OOW births to the point that the mother o

WANT MEN? BE WILLING TO WORK WITH THEM!

      Over the past few years since the pandemic, there has been a noticeable slide in America’s attitude towards men. It wasn’t entirely unexpected. This also happened after the events of 9-11 more than 20 years ago.

      Why?

      Simple. First, America has turned its back on the biblical definition and examples of manhood. Second, America has been a feminized country since the 1990s—meaning that women have been put AHEAD of men in entertainment, sports,

HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 2

      As we pick up our commentary from part one, let’s take the time to review some of the highlights through the hints I have been blessed to share thus far concerning young men and the building of successful marriages. An old African Proverb plays a major part in this series on marriage: “Give advice. If one will not take it, let adversity teach them.” I am merely providing advice for young brothers on marriage from a biblical, busines

“Let every Nigerian—regardless of gender—feel safe, valued, and empowered to serve. Let us work together, not against each other, to preserve the dignity of our democracy.” 

Recent international coverage surrounding Senator Natasha Akpoti-Uduaghan’s claims against the Senate President, Godswill Akpabio, has cast Nigeria in a negative light—portraying our political space as hostile, regressive, and oppressive toward women. While every democratic society must acknowledge and address concerns of i

MENTAL HEALTH—THE REAL DEAL, PART 2

      In our last thrill-packed adventure, I brought up that one’s mental health is nothing to laugh off.  At the root of disruptions in one’s mental state can be found the following short list: Unforgiveness, Anger, Jealousy, Greed, Selfishness, Rebellion, and a rejection of God’s rules contained in the Scriptures.  One’s spiritual state often plays into one’s mental state.  Get the spiritual right through Jesus Christ and the Word of God, and you’ll be amaze

MENTAL HEALTH: THE REAL DEAL, PART I

      I have been monitoring the discussions, advertisings, medications and talking head sermons in the ‘mainstream mess’ about the subject of Mental Health.  Unfortunately, the item missing from the equation is the following: The responsibility of the individual in protecting their own ‘brain box’ through reflection on their spiritual health and own actions.

      Hear me out on this one.  Many ‘mental health’ episodes could be avoided—for the good of society

HINTS FOR YOUNG MEN TO BUILD SUCCESSFUL MARRIAGES, PART 1

      One of the joys of writing on topics from a biblical, business and common sense perspective over the years is that as the times advance, a need to revisit certain topics becomes necessary.

      Marriage is one of those topics.

      There is a LOT to unpack on this subject. Thus, I advise my young brothers to grab a mug of coffee or tea and settle down for some teaching on the issue of marriage—from one who has gone before you. The ‘

HBCU OR NOT HBCU—A RECRUITMENT ISSUE? PART 2

      As we continue on into the second article on this subject, I’d like to refresh our memories from some of the items I covered in part one—as it has been a while since I began this piece last year.

      Full disclosure here. I came out of both an urban (or, as we used to say public) school and a suburban school background. I was well trained, had great teachers—BOTH Black and White in both systems, and was prepared for ‘life in the outside world’

Two respected families in the South-South geo-political zone on Monday highlighted the humble background, personality and contributions of Chief Veronica Ekpera Ebireri to the country.

“It is no gain-saying that Chief Veronica Ekpera was an epitome of kindness.”

The prominent Agbon and Okpe families in a statement entitled “The life and works of a pragmatic woman, transporter, saw miller, fish and rice dealer” highlighted Veronica Ebireri’s extraordinary life, pleasant upbringing of many and all s

FEMINISM—THE LEGION SPIRIT

      We are going to be here a while, so you might grab a mug of coffee or tea. These spiritual essays take a while to unpack, and even longer to let the Spirit of the Lord speak through them.

      For the men in the house, whether you be young or old, this commentary will go a long way to warn you about the status of many women in American society—and perhaps—in the entire western hemisphere. It is a demonic weed that Christian men will have to spot, confront, and cr
