ZERO LOYALTY



Even when people are past their prime or are no longer as famous, popular, reigning or trending as they used to be before, we should not abandon those who have been a blessing to us before.

A lot of people are not loyal but are just leeches.

They jump on those who are hot cakes just to use them to climb to the top. They are social climbers.

They don’t really care about people, regardless of how charismatic and charming they may appear.

They are very clever and strategic performers.

They have no basic or sustained love and loyalty.

They simply target and roll with anyone who can take them to their next level of self-actualization.

It’s all a selfish game and they don’t empathize with those who have challenges yet they want people to empathize with them when they have challenges.

Selfishness is a very strange, satanic and dark character trait—even those who have it hâte to see it in others or to be at the receiving end of it.

If you have a bad break, people don’t care and in fact some of them who were following you insincerely have been waiting for you to trip so they can rejoice at the reduction of your rating and recognition.

It’s all part of the dark side of fallen human nature.

Yes, we should strive to be relevant and on the cutting edge of what we are doing but the rate at which people discard or betray people is alarming.

That’s why people no longer trust people.

Just like people who marry and mouth fake vows at their wedding ceremony only to disembark from the marriage as quickly as the slightest challenge—quick to rush in and out of marriage. 

Certainly, wedlock is not padlock but if you’re quick to divørce then you have no commitment or marital values—you were simply playing a game of luck, or trying to beat time, or competing with your younger sibling or peers, or trying to impress people, etc.

People are to be respected for who they are and the positive contributions they have made in our lives, even if in the past, not simply because they are popular personas on a social media platform but whose values we do not know or share.

Beware of disloyal, dishonest and fake people.

Keep adding value to yourself and those around you or who you interact with.

Keep increasing your value and keep improving yourself, no matter how great you have been.

Stay great. Stay good. Keep growing.

Africans, especially Nigerians, are quick to discard people including great talents and people who have served them in the past, including their parents, spouses, friends, heroes, leaders, and legends. 

We even believe our ancestors were evil, while the Western ancestors are seen as great heroes. 

The way we look down on our people and country is a clear indication and reflection of a collective low self-image or diminished sense of national identity.

Of course, this is not without reason as our poor performance as a country has engrained this sense of unworthiness in our national consciousness.

We may cover it with luxury and largesse but the emptiness and void remains deep inside the soul.

We are quick to bǎdmouth, děmonize and dämn people who hurt us or who we disagree with or have had some sort of misunderstanding with.

Few people can seek reconciliation and peace.

We need to be aware of and break away from that counterproductive and hǎrmful mindset.

Honor people’s impact in your life. 

Abientot!

DESTROY THIS TEMPLE

Image
  "Destroy this sanctuary, and in three days I will raise it up."   The words of the Lord Jesus to the dangerous and conniving religious leaders of His day who sought to kill Him and thus to silence the Truth of Yahweh (YHWH). He said this in reply to their demand for a miraculous sign in query of the authority He had to chase the money changers and merchandise sellers from the Temple just after He had cleared the Temple of these economic profiteering activities in the (falsely) religious space.  This same Christ who is the Truth gave His Word and Spirit of Truth to His Apostles who, as He had done, also bore witness to the Truth even with their lives and passed the same Truth down to the Church, which is the Body of Christ, who is the Only Head of His One Body. Selah. To be clear, we don't need to chase any religious merchant from their self-owned religious centres or overturn any tables. We only need to "bear witness to The Truth" and "earnestly contend f...

SUPPORT NOT SUPPLANT

Image
  Do we have genuine connections? I’ll give a quick definition of the word supplant. So I can dwell more on the concept of support. To supplant means to take the place of, to displace, to replace or to undermine.  To support is to be actively interested in and concerned for the success of a person or thing, for example: supporting a particular sports team. It also means to provide assistance to, or give approval, comfort, or encouragement to.  It is a product of goodwill and belief in someone or something.  Many of us support different football teams which we gladly and passionately refer to as “our teams”. Observe the enthusiasm, excitement and in some cases excessive zeal or fanaticism with which we promote, defend and celebrate people who do we not personally know, or an enterprise from which we may not even earn a single penny or cent—except for those who are into sports betting.  That’s the power of connection. That’s the power of camaraderie. That’s the po...

OPEN LETTER TO EX AND WARNING TO SINGLES

Image
WARNING TO SINGLES ASPIRING TO MARRIGE AND OPEN LETTER TO AN UNSCRUPULOUS EX To whom it may concern. Don’t marry a man whose leadership, integrity, vision, commitment to and love for you you don’t trust and afterwards rebel against his authority.  Don’t marry a woman who doesn’t meet your standards or requirements, who is not committed to you, who pretends a lot, is deceitful, inauthentic, lacks healthy self-image and is led by or under the control of third parties or public expectation. Marriage is for adults.  Don’t let your parents or peers choose your spouse for you when you are not really into that person or if your values don’t align. Don’t be desperate to get married. Take responsibility for your choice.  Don’t also pretend before marriage so that your target marital candidate chooses you.  If you have already defaulted in these areas and married wrongly, hold yourself accountable and don’t put the blame on one person. Do not deploy sinister schemes to make th...
