It was a very hot afternoon when my father called me and gave me the heartbreaking news of Ifeanyi’s passing. He was fondly called Odo Diele, a name that signifies the faithfulness of the Odo deity.

The Value of What We Already Have.
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.

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.

🌸💖 Awakening to Purpose and Perspective 💖
There is nothing, in itself, that is inherently bad. The goodness or badness of any thing or idea depends on the intention of its originator. 🌸💖 Take, for instance, a knife.
