Kindly enjoy this thought provoking article about The Lords Prayer as explain by Adrushin of The Grail Message. Read it with open mindedness. Thank you THERE ARE ONLY few human beings who seek to become aware of what they actually want when they say the “Lord’s Prayer”. Still fewer who really know what is the meaning of the sentences which they rattle off. Rattle off is probably the only accurate designation for the process which in this instance man calls praying. He who examines himself unsparingly in this respect must admit this, otherwise he proves that he spends his whole life in the same way … superficially, and that he is not, nor ever has been, capable of any deep thought. There are enough of them on this earth who certainly take themselves seriously, but with the best will in the world cannot be taken seriously by others. Especially the beginning of this Prayer has always been taken in the wrong sense, even though in different ways. Those who try to undertake thi...

Even the bitterest adversaries of the Igbo cannot but admit that, as a people, they are very resourceful and ingenious.  Indeed, this has often been the cause of their envy and dislike by others.  However, more enlightened non-Igbo Nigerians see this as a cause for celebration. AMONG the different ethnic groups in Nigeria, the Igbo are without a doubt, one of the most remarkable.  So remarkable, indeed, that some have even traced their ancestry to biblical Israel, as the far-flung descendants of Jacob, the Jewish patriarch.  Gad, Jacob’s seventh son, is said to have had three sons who settled in South-eastern Nigeria. These sons; Eri, Arodi and Areli, are believed to have fathered clans in Igbo-land and to have founded such Igbo towns as Aguleri, Arochukwu, Owerri and Umuleri.

           Since I was a little lad pulling little girls’ braids in Sunday School and making them cry, I’ve always wanted one thing, and one thing only: to be the wickedest man in Nigeria. Other children wanted to be doctors and pilots and teachers. Not I. I wanted to burn things down and deface posters. I wanted people to curse and revile me as I passed by. I wanted them to spit at the mention of my name. It has always been my purpose to be wicked, as I’ve said. So as soon as I was done with school and finished my NYSC, I set about looking for the most nefarious things and person to be. This was not easy, I assure you. All around me, the competition was stiff. There were more wicked people than I had imagined, all living in one country. I realized that in order to set myself out as truly wicked, truly mind horrifyingly ghastly, I would have to excel above my peers in a manner never before seen. I immediately set about my plan. At the ba...

Dear Proudly Nigerians, NOW THAT THEY HAVE CHOSEN TO STRIKE US HARD, NECESSITY LEFT US NO CHOICE THAN TO STRIKE BACK COME 2015. Do we need a soothsayer to tell us that the governing bodies so-called government are our future barricades? Having series of conference to make sure our tomorrow is a blatant blackout. It’s now obvious to all and sundry, old and young, tribes and individual that they really don’t give a damn about the lives to come of Nigerian youths. What we’ve so far experience is an expectancy of when the selfish, self-centred reigns. I’m glad they save us the need for group-thinking and campaign on our stance as they have characteristically offer us the choice to choose for ourselves and generations yet unborn but reluctantly, which are to come. Obviously, they are telling us that ‘’Look Youths, if truly you yearn for true and fair-share of democracy and leadership, the path you’ve been turning away from, the hard choices you’ve been shunning all years long,...

Anti-corruption crusaders believe, and perhaps justifiably so, that corruption is an official language in Nigeria. The frequency of financial scandals as well as their dimensions in government circles, baffle even the most sanguine of citizens. Every sector of the economy reeks of stench from the rot that is official sleaze, and as it persists, it manifests itself in acute underdevelopment of the state, decayed infrastructure and avoidable loss of lives. The current administration, at inception, vowed to wage a war against the societal cancer, just like the administration before it and others before them. From the first military coup in 1966, every successive government had identified corruption as, not just an issue, but the major issue in Nigeria. And with such identification came with a few times serious, but most often feeble – attempts to curb the monster. Fifty three years after independence, ours has emerged a country overran by official corruption, so much so that many ...

When people gather to discuss the future of   Nigeria , the consensus is usually 2-pronged. The first is that the brand of   democracy   we have now clearly is working. The second is that we are probably screwed if we don’t address our fundamental deficiencies. The third (yes, I know I said two) is that we need a benevolent dictator to set us right. The mind that proposes a benevolent dictator has probably considered that even returning to military rule would not be a bad option, giving how slowly we have moved since 1999. However, that is not a thought that we are allowed to entertain, as constitutional law jingoists insist on drumming it into our heads that “the worst civilian regime is better than the best military rule”. I think we can agree that the evidence suggests to the contrary. The world’s oldest democracies are in the middle of economic decline (yes, there is the argument that boom and bust are cyclical) and oligarchies like China and the Sultan...

It is good that our president finally woke up and decided to take a stand on corruption. His stand, however controversial, is still a stand and we applaud him for his observations. Like all observations the world over, there is bound to be consequences and I’m here to discuss the expected consequences of the saintly president’s pronunciation that Nigerians are corrupt. You see, the speech itself is a walk to remember in irony. The personality of the speechmaker is another aspect of the picture that is inconsistent with the observation. It is however important to separate the man from the speech if possible or we can just forget all the niceties and rip into him once and for all. After all, we are the corrupt generation and our every action helps foster the trade according to our OgaAtTheTop. Never mind the fact that the man elected to fight corruption, one who campaigned rigorously on eradicating corruption and who should be at the forefront of the fight to make Nigeria cor...
