Pray for Paris....abeg Pray for Nigeria too oo

I'm pained by this slogan and the way Nigerians hype the situation in France. The slogan "Pray for Paris" or Pray for France has been on airways for sometime now pls no offense... I extend my condolences to the victims and the lost souls my heart goes to them. But Here in Nigeria, the North and more especially the North-eastern part of the country called Nigeria... Boko Haram are killing innocent souls almost on a daily occurrence...the latest being an army battalion that just went missing or AWOL news have it that they may have been captured by the devilish insurgents that we don't know....Our Nigerian people are being bombed everyday, slaughtered and killed by this sect. It is as if we Nigerians don't care at all...or maybe we used to this or since it doesn't affect us or we don't understand the gravity of what is going on the North. Maybe we need to place Slogans PRAY FOR NIGERIA! We need it more if not much more than those in Europe. Our people are dying every minute in the North! Yet we I mean Nigerians place Slogans like "Pray for France " please scratch that for NOW and put the slogan "PRAY FOR NIGERIA" or Pray for Maiduguri or Kano or anywhere the Boko Haram has done some damage. We need to start looking into this crisis like they are doing in France and finding the perpetrators and sponsors of this Terrorists no matter how highly placed they are! ...Pray for Maiduguri And Nigeria!

System Maintenance

System Maintenance My computer has a folder of Temporary Items. It's full of data that was once needed, but isn't currently necessary. I don't intentionally create those files; they seem to appear out of thin air, occupying space on my computer. Those who know about computers say that these files need to be deleted now and again, or they will slow down my computer's operating system. One rule of thumb says that if the date on those files isn't today's date, they can be safely erased. I have a similar folder inside my head. Unfortunately, the contents of this folder aren't as harmless as what's inside the Temporary Items in my computer. This folder contains a complete archive of bad things that have happened in the past, both things that I've done and things that have been done to me. I've got video, audio, and text, a whole multimedia display of negativity. When I least want them to, these things worm their way out of my past into my present. I remember the times I embarrassed myself. I remember the times that I hurt other people. I remember my failures. I remember my sin. I remember the times I was mistreated. I remember the ways that people hurt me, the things they said, the things they did. I remember those times that other people let me down. I remember None of that does me any good. Those things from the past only serve to slow things down, to spoil today with yesterday's hurts. Like those temporary files on my computer, what I really need to do is get rid of them. The apostle Paul wrote "Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have taken hold of it yet. But this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and straining toward those things which are ahead, I press on toward the mark of the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 3:13-14). We have to put our past in the past and set our eyes on what lies ahead. We have a God who is willing to forgive anything and everything that we've done, if we'll only let Him. ‎ And He'll teach us to do the same with other people. GUDMORN TO YOU AND HAPPY WEEKEND.
