The little bird that chooses to perch on a rope should be ready to dance, because when a deity becomes irresponsible, it will be reminded of the tree from which it was carved. It is only an Nza bird that challenges its chi simply because it has had enough to eat, forgetting that what anContinue reading “The Value of What We Already Have.”

A hapu ndu kpaa aku—onye iro eri ya! (Health is Wealth)
The first and perhaps only true determinant of happiness is found in not constantly searching for happiness. Statistics show that the rate at which people consume alcohol has declined significantly, but many have switched to harder substances. While alcohol consumption is not good either, people who are constantly searching for happiness or trying to escapeContinue reading “A hapu ndu kpaa aku—onye iro eri ya! (Health is Wealth)”
Our Disunity Is Their Weapon and Strength
Three brothers fell in love with one beautiful girl. None of them was willing to step aside for the others; each wanted to marry her. The girl, on the other hand, was just as confused as the brothers. She could not choose one over the others because each of them played a unique role inContinue reading “Our Disunity Is Their Weapon and Strength”
Be Authentic and Be Open to Learning
There is a story about a king who had three faithful successors. Tradition required that a king name his heir at a certain age to maintain order and prevent future family feuds.

Majoring in Minor Things
I had a conversation today with a colleague whose daughter is only 23 years old. She explained how her daughter had already saved nearly 10% of the deposit needed for a mortgage. Having just graduated from university and secured a well-paying job, this means she was able to save a significant amount while still studying.Continue reading “Majoring in Minor Things”
Beware of false praises.
I want to discuss something that is gradually becoming part of our culture and, somehow, we are normalising it. Have you noticed that when a woman is single, she often receives far less attention from men than when she is married?

Balancing the Old Culture and the New Culture
It is important to highlight that the values and roles traditionally performed by men in the old culture, such as protection, provision, and decision-making are still very relevant. What has changed, however, is that men are no longer the sole providers, protectors, or decision-makers in many homes today. Many men are struggling to accept thisContinue reading “Balancing the Old Culture and the New Culture”
You Are a Man Regardless of Your Financial Status
There is an obvious struggle today when it comes to the position of men in families and relationships. There has been a rise in domestic violence as some men attempt to exert authority in unhealthy ways within their homes and relationships. Today, we are going to examine what has led to increasing frustration among menContinue reading “You Are a Man Regardless of Your Financial Status”
In Time to Come
When I reflect on how we are moving as a people, accepting new ideas, cultures, and modernization without critical evaluation, I become deeply concerned. In many advanced nations, care homes are very common. They were originally created for elderly people or those facing mental health challenges. However, over time, what was meant to support familiesContinue reading “In Time to Come”
Who Will Cry When You Die?
The fall of a yellow leaf is a warning to the green ones. Truth is always in plain sight, yet many people remain unaware of it. Over time, we have seen and heard of people we know passing on to the next life. Somehow, the cause of their death often gives people a strange senseContinue reading “Who Will Cry When You Die?”
