  • ADVICE FROM A MAD MAN

    They say I’m mad.
    Because I laugh when others cry
    And cry when others laugh.
    Because I speak the truth without permission,
    And wear honesty like a tattered cloth.

    But listen closely.
    Not all madness is in the mind—
    Some of it is wisdom in disguise,
    Too wild for the neat boxes of society.

    Stop chasing what doesn’t feed your soul.
    You wear suits, but your heart is naked.
    You chase likes online, but hate yourself offline.
    You run from silence,
    Yet noise has never healed a broken man.

    Love people, but don’t die for those who won’t even bleed for you.
    Madness is giving everything to someone
    Who wouldn’t even notice if you disappeared.
    Even I, the mad one, know when to walk away.

    Don’t envy the rich.
    Some of them wear gold to hide their rust.
    They smile in public but sleep with pills.
    Happiness isn’t in the mansion,
    It’s in the room where peace sleeps.

    Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.
    They mocked the prophets too.
    They locked up Jeremiah.
    They crucified Jesus.
    The world fears truth—especially when it comes from unexpected lips.

    Find your purpose before the coffin finds you.
    You buy land, build houses, marry, and work…
    But what did your soul come to this world for?
    Even a mad man has a mission—
    To disturb the comfortable with uncomfortable truths.

    Don’t be too sane for your own good.
    Sometimes, you need madness to dream,
    To rebel against mediocrity,
    To live freely, love deeply, and believe wildly.

    So when next you see me—
    Muttering to the air,
    Talking to birds,
    Smiling at the wind—
    Don’t pity me.
    I am not lost. I just found a different kind of freedom.
    One the world calls madness.

  • The last time the unrighteous succeeded in killing the righteous was on the cross of Calvary thousands of years ago.

    Today they're actually incapacitated to kill any righteous except for lack of knowledge of what to do when they rail accusations to condemn so attempt to kill the righteous after the very resurrection of Jesus Christ and his subsequent ascension to the heavenly Father and seating with us at His right hand side perpetually with glory.

    Shalom Israel of God

  • If you knew and believed that Jesus resurrected from the dead as the Christ without blood in his body system that is now in you, But your medical Doctor tells you that you have anaemia. And you have faith as a believer, you can survive being completely healed and alive even without blood in your system if you can speak out of your mouth your belief system from your heart;
    Because you are first of all spirit born in Christ; And that's what matters most in this world. Amen!

  • *Your Real Life Partner Is Not Your Spouse!*

    Not your mom.
    Not your dad.
    Not your spouse.
    Not your dear friend
    Not even your children.

    *It’s Your Body!*

    The one thing that stays with you from birth till death is the one you often ignore —
    Your Body.

    When your body is tired, it whispers.
    When you don’t listen, it screams.
    And when it finally gives up,
    no one else can carry that consequence but you.

    What you eat.
    How you sleep.
    The way you handle stress.
    The exercise you avoid.
    The sugar you won’t stop eating.

    They are all love letters or hate mails to your body.
    And your body is always reading them.

    You can replace a job.
    You can marry someone else.
    You can disown whosoever.
    You can borrow money.
    But you can’t trade bodies.

    So start showing up for your realest partner...

    —Eat with intention.
    —Move daily.
    —Sleep like it’s sacred.
    —Think thoughts that nourish, not that which poison.
    —Say no to stress that’s killing you slowly.

    Your body is not a container.
    It’s a companion.
    Treat it like it matters — because it does.

    Indeed, *Your body is where you live... Take very good care of it!*

  • LAW AND ORDER

    Boundaries are created by law and order they are synonymous with each other and what the whole earth is founded on from the laws of gravity the oceans and the dry grounds separated from each other the physical expanse of the atmosphere and water environments that contain lifeforms that need specific temperatures to thrive such as the polar bear and even fruits and vegetables will only grow in soil in the right temperature they are even only matured in the season set for them which is guided by time. A baby cannot be produced unless two material mater of egg and sperm meet a foal takes three years to form from inception.

    Without fixed laws guarding the success of all these facets of life within time and space it would not produce the desired result needed for each environment. We can not climb 60 thousand feet on foot and survive as that is the natural law that oxygen is not as accessible this far from the earth. If we ate something that is not fit for human consumption but was designed for another purpose such as a solvent that removes paint we would surely die if we did not have oxygen to be viable on this planet the body could not survive but after that the sprit goes back to where it started from to god which is another environment that even has a new set of laws that we have access to the throne room of grace by the blood of Jesus which is a primary law of salvation of acceptance of him and all he has done by making him lord and savior of our life while we are still in the flesh we become born again.

    Its activating faith which is completely separate from doubt it has boundaries. Even love is defined by what it is not it is not self seeking its binary opposite is selflessness it does not behave rudely that means love is polite it does not rejoice in iniquity but rejoices in the truth its like defining black from white. The road rules that create law and order make it functional that keeps pedestrians and drivers of vehicles safe by the law of give way that is written into the consciousness of every citizen by ensuring they have qualified by passing the test that gave them legal permission to drive on the roads. The laws of marriage that one husband shall be faithful to one wife is foundational to trust and make marriages successful. Oil cannot mix with water because the substance will not permit it to make purple you must have red and blue pigment. Even property laws that determine the boundaries of ownership and what is expected of you is written in legal terms those laws are ideas that have created boundaries.

    The amount of tax you pay is relevant to what you earn and redistribution of taxes is set by the politics of the lands that determine the allocation of resources which is dependent on who is governing that has that legal authority even the kingdom of heaven had to obey certain laws for legal requirements to win back the right to have access on the earth and human life . Yet all the law and the prophets is fulfilled by love yet love itself has boundaries by defining what love is and what love is not if the formular is exact love never fails. We have so many problems on this earth and if we got down to the root of every violation of boundaries we will find that it is always going against the law of love. This is why we should always spend time meditating on the meaning of all the dimensions of love and to inculcate them into our patterns. It is a way of thinking and living but love has boundaries by its definitions think of how god fashioned the earth he focused on different parts of its creation by separating he made something new that is a principle for life by the laws we apply to every facet of life determines how we shape life.

    Just as the ocean does not go onto dry land is like the boundaries we set love does not give access to everything it is defined by the law of difference God gave Adam and eve instruction he said till the land and keep it rebellion to that instruction would create disorder because principles of truth bring order he said do not eat of the fruit they ate in their heart before they ate physically because they were dominated by an outside thing. Our no and our yes must be firm to keep the land of our life that is what creates law and order is boundaries. If the stop sign is determined for the ocean so is our no stopping what must not have access and our yes gives permission by the agreements we make. We are sovereign when we walk in freedom according to boundaries truth has boundaries you do not open the door to a lion because you know it is dangerous this is why truth is foundational for life . Truth is multifaceted by defining what truth is we define what it is not truth and love are synonyms just as law and order are the same as boundaries.

    That is why we can point to the stars and differentiate them from the night sky or the day because we can see physically what it is and what it is not. But just as a diamond glistens multiple colors when it catches different lights yet it is one though we see colors of different appearances as it is turned is like the truth it is not just black and white except all the colour of the light are absent of black. Your eyes do not get oxygen from your body but from the atmosphere because the eyes are the part of the body that does not have blood vessels otherwise we couldn’t see it would interfere with the retina that is another biological law that create functionality of an eye . If those laws were not set in place we would not have vision . The deeper we go with everything we research we will find that its functionality comes by law and order so truth has boundaries the law of love is the greatest of all. Love never fails.

  • Immediately after my wedding, barely a few weeks in, someone I knew called and said he had sent a monetary gift for me through a close friend of mine. My heart leaped — because at that point, I was swimming in debt from the wedding.

    I called my friend. He confirmed receiving the money.

    I thanked him and sent my account details immediately.

    But he shocked me.

    He said,

    “I won’t send the money to you.”

    I laughed — thinking it was a joke. But he was dead serious.

    “I won't send it until you’re ready to collect what I bought with it,” he added.

    I was confused.

    I called and called. He kept repeating the same thing. His tone got cold, almost dismissive. It hurt me more than I can explain.

    I called the person who had sent the money, told him what my friend was doing. He seemed surprised but told me to reach out to my friend again.

    I was furious. I decided to cut both of them off.

    A few days passed. Then one night, my friend called again. I ignored it.

    He called again. And again. My phone rang until it felt like it would vibrate off the table.

    I switched it off.

    He kept calling for days. Eventually, I blocked him — on calls, on chats, on life. I told myself: He betrayed me. He stole from me.

    Six months later, I felt the weight of the silence. I realized how much I missed him — my friend, my brother.

    So I went to his house.

    They told me he had moved.

    Gone.

    No one knew where he went. No forwarding address. No explanation.

    I was angry all over again.
    I concluded he had run away with the money. That he had played me.

    Even though I had moved on from the money, the betrayal began to rot inside me again like an old wound reopened.

    Three years later.

    I was stuck in Lagos traffic, heading to the Island.

    I saw someone on the other lane.

    Something about the posture, the shape of his head, the way he tilted slightly to the right.

    But… he was in a wheelchair.

    I told myself,

    “It can’t be him. He wasn’t like that before.”

    Still, I begged the driver to stop. My heart was pounding as I crossed the road.

    I walked closer. He turned.

    It was him.

    My friend.

    In a wheelchair.

    Before I could speak, he wheeled toward me and hugged me.

    No hesitation. No resentment. Just warmth. And pain.

    I stood there, stunned. My mouth dry. My hands weak. I had rehearsed this day in my head, where I’d scream at him, call him a thief, ask if karma crippled him. But I said nothing.

    Then he pulled a backpack from behind his chair. Slowly, he brought out a faded blue file.

    He handed it to me.

    I opened it — and inside were land documents.

    And pictures of an uncompleted building.

    My eyes scanned the papers.

    It was my name written all over the documents.

    Not his.

    Not his wife’s.

    Mine.

    “I didn’t want you to waste the money Aunty sent on clearing wedding debts,”

    he said quietly.

    “So I bought land in your name... so you could become a landlord like me.”

    My hands trembled.

    My lips quivered.

    I dropped to the floor right there on the roadside and began to cry.

    He sat quietly in his chair. His face was tired. His eyes sunken.

    “You insulted me,” he said calmly. “You insulted my wife too. You called us thieves. But it was her idea. The night we tried to call you… I had just been in an accident. I was lying in the back of a tricycle, bleeding, and told her to call you.”

    He paused.

    “You didn’t pick.”

    I cried harder.

    “When my wife died in the hospital… I called again. That’s when I found out you had blocked me. You blocked me everywhere.”

    There were no tears in his eyes. Just silence. And truth.

    “I never stole from you. I am not your enemy. I was trying to protect your future. But money… money will always reveal how deep the love truly runs.”

    He turned and wheeled away.

    A cab stopped.

    He got in and left.

    Just like that.

    I’ve never stepped foot in that house he built in my name.

    I can’t.

    Not until I see him again.

    Not until I hold him and say the words I never said.

    I’m sorry.

    Please… don’t be quick to assume people have ghosted you.

    Don’t jump to conclusions.

    Sometimes, the silence is a scream for help you ignored.

    Sometimes, the person you thought betrayed you was the one holding your future in their hands.
    Sometimes, people disappear not to rob you — but because **life hit them harder than they could bear.

    Before you block someone forever — ask them why.

    You never know the battles they were silently fighting… for you.

    The End.

  • THE SCIENCE OF SIGNS

    Semiotics is the study of signs. A sign comprises two components: the signifier is the denotative level, and the signified is the connotation. A sign can be an icon, symbol or index. An icon is physically similar to the object or what it stands for; its literal sense refers to the signifier, e.g. a photo of a tree or the letters that spell tree, while its connotative sign pertains to its meaning. A symbol pattern refers to an interpretive habit or a norm of a learned behaviour like a play or pause button. In contrast, an index correlates with sensory information, e.g., fire smoke or car skidding noise. Language serves as a sign that we can read ‘Lamborghini’, and it can evoke similar images in our mind by spelling the word.’ We all recognize that it denotes a car. However, the sign consists of letters of the alphabet, and its connotative level conveys a deeper meaning, e.g., wealth and status, exclusivity and prestige. On the level of associated myths, which is a secondary sign, it is a myth of success and freedom. Its cultural sign is tied to broader ideologies of wealth, individuality, and power. It serves as both a functional object and a social statement.

    An English rose is a flower; however, a red rose can symbolise love, romance, and beauty. It is used in romantic settings, while yellow roses may have a different meaning and could be more appropriate in a friendship context. A sign is always interpreted in context. For example, if Warren Buffet were speaking about money, his context would generate a completely different vibe than that of a corrupt prosperity preacher. They are using the same dollar note, yet the meanings generated reflect two different attitudes, even though the money possesses no inherent meaning—it's merely paper representing currency. Its connotative meaning is always interpreted differently, depending on who we are, as we see life through our worldview. Someone who believes in the stories of a prosperity preacher will form a different image in the meaning-making mind compared to one who sees through his antics. We create the meaning.

    The ocean can be a place of rest where people enjoy a leisurely swim, while for others, it may provoke fear if they have recently encountered a shark. So, even though it’s the same location, the interpretations of reality or the signified meaning can have different connotations. Consider the word marriage; in most people's minds, it represents a union between a male and a female, but in other cultures, marriage may encompass multiple wives. According to the Bible, marriage is only between two people. Same-sex marriage has been normalised in many cultures, while gender-based violence can be accepted in some, leading to a belief that it is acceptable for women to be abused in a cultural context.

    Nowadays, due to the globalised internet, we must ensure we share a common conceptual map of the world when discussing various concepts. This way, when we interpret signs that represent concepts, we need a thorough analysis of what we mean to minimise the chances of misinterpretation. We should never assume that everyone will derive the same conative meaning from a sign. We might discover that individuals have attached different connotations. We must not assume that someone from a completely different nation will share that same value just because something is socially acceptable or unacceptable to us.

    We don't simply knock on a stranger’s door expecting a warm welcome; it requires a level of trust and background knowledge. For that access, the people we trust are vital; that’s why we have boundaries. Yet, because we all begin reasoning from different social locations, cultures, and economic, scientific, technological, religious, and philosophical backgrounds, we will not share the same premises from which we make our decisions. No one has the same experiences. The fact that you grew up on a different street with a unique life experience already illustrates the law of difference. Even if you lived next door and were raised by Indian parents in a foreign land, it means you will experience life differently and interpret signs in a distinct way. It cannot be compared to your neighbour’s experiences.

    Although we may share a conceptual understanding of the economic and political system socialisation has imparted similar lessons due to our common culture. It functions like a membrane, working collectively within the groups from which we originate. However, just as there are molecular cells and membranes, they represent different components of the whole, yet they unite in agreement to operate as one cell. That is akin to culture. It emerges through the socialisation of various systems: family, shared economy, shared education, shared politics, create common values. Consequently, we are more likely to interpret signs in a similar way. For instance, if another culture were to perceive the connotative meaning of a national flag, it would lack relativity to them; instead, it simply symbolizes a nation through its colours and symbols that represent something significant.

    Thus, we must consider this when using language. Although it may be understood in English, it doesn't necessarily mean that the connotative level of the sign holds the same significance. Since our minds work so quickly in processing information, we rarely pause to dissect it and reach a deeper understanding of different perspectives, as this is part of the logic of viewpoint we gain from various places. It's fascinating to analyse thought processes to truly grasp why someone’s perspective matters. All too often, we dismiss people because their standpoint differs so much, yet we should take the time to comprehend the logic behind their thinking, as it originates from where they have gathered their information.

    Something profound I've observed is that when someone speaks with authority, even if their words are full of deception, others may not be thorough enough to grasp all the nuances in the speech act. They fail to detect falsehoods because the speaker sounds so convincing, especially if they are a respected authority figure. Thus, at the level of the sign, the denotative meaning is shared, but the connotative meaning is interpreted differently. That’s why we must consider who is interpreting the sign and what the context is to reach deeper understandings. It’s essential to question all thinking, including my own. It doesn’t matter who the person is; we are all prone to human error. The only one who is perfect is God. We can make mistakes without even realising it. If we look around at all the deception in this world, every person who is convinced of that deception as the truth is real in their mind. You can see this in people who live in superstition, such as walking under a ladder. This is the second level of myth, where a new connotative meaning tells another story. While we know, hypothetically, that it is not the truth, some will not agree because that is how they perceive the world when they see someone walk under a ladder and believe it.

    Currently, I have been listening to a man who has tremendous insight, claiming up to 90% truth. Yet, he has categorised Christianity alongside other religions and views Jesus merely as a mystic. However, he has misunderstood the meanings he preaches and acts as if he knows the Bible. Yet, his interpretation is so erroneous it's not funny, and he has millions who follow him. It is because he has not encountered the kingdom. I could explain all his teachings if he had the right source of knowledge, which starts with God. But if the wrong connotative meaning is inferred, it leads down the wrong path. Therefore, the study of the science of signs is vital in these last days.
    THE SCIENCE OF SIGNS Semiotics is the study of signs. A sign comprises two components: the signifier is the denotative level, and the signified is the connotation. A sign can be an icon, symbol or index. An icon is physically similar to the object or what it stands for; its literal sense refers to the signifier, e.g. a photo of a tree or the letters that spell tree, while its connotative sign pertains to its meaning. A symbol pattern refers to an interpretive habit or a norm of a learned behaviour like a play or pause button. In contrast, an index correlates with sensory information, e.g., fire smoke or car skidding noise. Language serves as a sign that we can read ‘Lamborghini’, and it can evoke similar images in our mind by spelling the word.’ We all recognize that it denotes a car. However, the sign consists of letters of the alphabet, and its connotative level conveys a deeper meaning, e.g., wealth and status, exclusivity and prestige. On the level of associated myths, which is a secondary sign, it is a myth of success and freedom. Its cultural sign is tied to broader ideologies of wealth, individuality, and power. It serves as both a functional object and a social statement. An English rose is a flower; however, a red rose can symbolise love, romance, and beauty. It is used in romantic settings, while yellow roses may have a different meaning and could be more appropriate in a friendship context. A sign is always interpreted in context. For example, if Warren Buffet were speaking about money, his context would generate a completely different vibe than that of a corrupt prosperity preacher. They are using the same dollar note, yet the meanings generated reflect two different attitudes, even though the money possesses no inherent meaning—it's merely paper representing currency. Its connotative meaning is always interpreted differently, depending on who we are, as we see life through our worldview. Someone who believes in the stories of a prosperity preacher will form a different image in the meaning-making mind compared to one who sees through his antics. We create the meaning. The ocean can be a place of rest where people enjoy a leisurely swim, while for others, it may provoke fear if they have recently encountered a shark. So, even though it’s the same location, the interpretations of reality or the signified meaning can have different connotations. Consider the word marriage; in most people's minds, it represents a union between a male and a female, but in other cultures, marriage may encompass multiple wives. According to the Bible, marriage is only between two people. Same-sex marriage has been normalised in many cultures, while gender-based violence can be accepted in some, leading to a belief that it is acceptable for women to be abused in a cultural context. Nowadays, due to the globalised internet, we must ensure we share a common conceptual map of the world when discussing various concepts.

  • STRATEGIC VISION

    Do you notice that some words sound louder than others in your conscious awareness? Different seasons require different things. In summer, it brings warm temperatures, which means you must do different things than in winter, affecting many of your activities and clothing. The environment influences behaviour based on factors outside of your control; however, you need to adapt to make things work better. You won't grab a winter coat or prepare for frost, as the season doesn't demand that of you. Instead, you will adjust other patterns of behaviour accordingly. That word resonates outside of yourself, but your inner conditions and how you navigate must coexist with the environment. This might seem like a minor strategy we don't think much about; we simply adapt.

    It is so normalised to do what is required; if not, we would face many consequences. Because the environment demands that we adapt, we are inherently equipped to adjust to life situations using laws and principles from a critical mind. How much more should we train this part of our mind to think strategically in resolving problems? Sometimes, it isn’t the first idea that comes to mind; we need to teach our minds to think critically.

    One way to develop your mind to think strategically is to start with a small problem you might see around you, such as environment design, to help your habits align with living a high-yielding lifestyle or using your time wisely knowing when your energy levels are at their peak for tasks that might not otherwise suit you. When do you have less mental or physical energy? When is your spirit alert? Is it only at certain times? How can you become more sensitive to these shifts? When is the best time to convert your spiritual or mental energy into the outcomes you want to create in your life? Have you taken the time to plan specific tasks? What subjects will you focus on?

    An unplanned life is like having the wrong clothing in your wardrobe for the season or having no firewood and freezing at sub-zero temperatures because there was no preparation. If you want to use time more productively, it’s better to sit down and allocate a couple of hours a week to prepare exactly what you’re going to target and when. Your targets should align with your purpose for creation. Was a dolphin made to fly through the air? Was a seagull created for the snow? Was an ant designed to live in human beds? Just by natural design, they fit in alignment with the vision the creator of their design put for them.
    Yet humans have a free will we could spend three hours scrolling social media platforms we could laze in the sun we could seek out entertainment we could trade our time in the uncle Sam system to pay a mortgage or we could find the original blueprint for our life’s that we did not create but the creator of his creation does not make people to live for themselves he created them for himself and for his purpose.

    Everyone, even Adolf Hitler, was created by God and for God, yet from his life story, we can see that he walked in alignment with an evil agenda that did not come from the creator of his design. This highlights a contrast between Mother Terrasa, who united creation with the creator and Adolf Hitler, who divided. What we must also observe is that the kingdom of light always unites and the kingdom of darkness always divides. Why am I highlighting this? It reveals that when we live out of alignment with our purpose, we are divided, as we are living in alignment with other attitudes of the heart, such as seeking comfort, satisfying emotional needs, or taking the lowest-yielding path of instant gratification. When we live in alignment with our purpose, we unite with God's will and practice delayed gratification, using the things that cost us our life, time, and resources to build the kingdom.

    If there is a purpose for the garden worm, the caterpillar, the lightning, the sun, the soil, and everything that was made, how much more is there a purpose for every human being? Never give in to the delusion that you were created to sit in a church pew listening to someone preach until you make heaven, that is one of Satan's greatest deceptions he uses to stop the advancement of the kingdom.

    Everything starts small, even your gifts and talents; they do not begin as fully developed, but rather as a word that may sound loud within your spirit. God has hidden so many capacities in us that you can only discover them through work. Einstein was obsessed and possessed by some ideas that never left his mind. I do not know the length of time it took him to discover the equation E = mc^2, which represents the energy equivalent of mass times the speed of light squared. The only reason I can write that equation is because Einstein passed through this world and did not yield to his flesh nature; he lived in a higher dimension, the mind. Yet, he tapped into a spiritual law that was hidden in nature; the only reason we cannot see into the dimension of the spirit could be explained by this equation. Yet right around us is another realm that cannot be seen on the material level because the faster you speed up energy and mass, the more it becomes invisible. Yet, we are dealing with two kingdoms: one that seeks to unite creation and one that seeks to divide it.

    If we start with the book of Genesis and proceed to Revelation, both kingdoms are highly strategic. God had a strategy even before the fall. He created people to fulfil the path to the coming Christ. Satan started with a strategy but tempted Eve at the fall, just using words, images, and suggestions. Then he perverted God’s plan and will by causing Cain to murder his brother Abel. Right now, we are in a strategic era of the gospel of the kingdom being preached to all, nations and we all know that this vision will come to pass not because I said it, it is written, we are just positioned in the time of the dispensation of the calendar of God to fulfill his vision. The strategy of the church must be beyond the four walls into every territory and cause the light of the culture of heaven to unite creation with the creator by discovering our purpose for creation we bring godly alliances with man and God just by our obedience as God has given us grace and apostleship to fulfil this vision. What words are resonating loudly in your spirit, you hear, to reunite creation with the creator in time and space, connecting them to eternity.

  • AWOLOWO SPEAKS

    *** Please read the letter below, by Chief Awolowo requesting for an education loan from Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola on March 25, 1943 , (the richest Ijebu man in those days) and promised to pay back by 1955. It is fascinating, long and interesting. ****

    ~ LETTER:

    Dear Mr. Odutola,

    I think it will be an exceeding saving of time and more business-like if I avoid all sweet preliminaries and go straight into the object of this letter and say that I am writing to ask you to be good enough to lend me a sum of £1,400 (One thousand and four hundred pounds) free of interest for twelve years.

    It is a staggering figure! More staggering indeed does it become, when it is realized that I, who am asking for this loan, have nothing in all the world to give as a security for this money, excepting my good faith and my brains which again are of value only so long as I continue to breathe the breath of life!

    Nevertheless, I here proceed to outline in brief why i want this big loan from you. And I hope you will be kind enough to sacrifice some time to go through what I have to say, even though, in the end you might find yourself unable to do me this grand favour.

    One great ambition of mine since my boyhood days is to be a lawyer, a politician and a journalist, rolled into one. I cherish politics and journalism as a career, and I desire advocacy as a means of livelihood. For you will agree with me that a politician or journalist who has no money with which to support himself and family comfortably, is like a blade which has no razor.

    Now, at one time, I was on the verge of making enough money with which I could proceed to England in order to pursue the object of my ambition; but I suffered a twist in my fortune, and I crashed. Ever since, I have tried without success to recover lost grounds, financially. But spiritually and intellectually, I have made appreciable advance in spite of towering difficulties, all of which have now been surmounted.

    As you are aware, I have just passed the intermediate Bachelor of Commerce Examination. Next year, I am taking the final B.Com. Having a degree is not my goal; I hate to be a government or mercantile employee. Otherwise, there are opportunities for me here and there to get a suitable and well paid job under government or one of the mercantile houses. As you know, however, once I become an employee of government or a mercantile establishment that is the end to my career as a politician and journalist. I have therefore resolved that under no circumstances will I take up such employment.

    That is just by the way. I am now thirty-four years of age. After careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that if I could raise a loan free of interest sufficient to cover expenses, I should go to England, this year and within three years, I should qualify as a Barrister –at –law, and also obtain with Honours the LL.B Degree of London University. In addition this degrees apart from giving me good backing as a solicitor and Advocate will help me immensely as a politician and journalist.

    But where on earth could i get the money? Who in Nigeria today could give £1,400 free of interest to help his fellow-man? J. Henry Doherty, Esq., of illustrious memory who did the like to many successful Nigerians is no more. But after meticulous, shifting and weighing, I hit upon you.

    I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that out of the bounty with which providence blesses your grit and efforts as a businessman, you can well easily afford to advance such a sum of money. I have no doubt too that as a young and progressive man you will be quite happy to give the money for the pursuit of the project for which I desire it.

    But then, could you take this risk?

    That is the question. As I have said before, I have no security for this loan. Moreover, I want it free of interest. So that you stand to gain absolutely NOTHING in the whole transaction, except the satisfaction that by helping me to achieve my ambition you are indirectly or even directly helping Nigeria or even Africa.

    This risk becomes greater when it is borne in mind that I might die in the course of my studies or immediately after, so that, since I have no security or surety, you stand the chance of losing not only the money but also the satisfaction which you may cherish that you are contributing to the uplift of Africa. It is indeed a great risk; the greatest any man ever embarks upon.

    But, this is a big BUT, if I live, as I have no doubt I will do, you will not only get your money back in full, but you will, to the end of your days, have cause to rejoice that you have done one of the most outstanding and most philanthropic acts any human being ever does. Among other things, I shall make excellent use of the money while in England by breaking records in my examination. On my return to Nigeria, I shall strive to be one of the foremost advocates, politicians and writers in West Africa, and while I do all these, I shall make it a point not only to pay your money back in full, but also to repay your kindness and generosity towards me in every way I can.

    All the same, it is a big risk! So, Sir, I like you to think seriously about it, and see if you can take it in the interest of a young man who has brain, industry and determination to back his ambition, but lacks the money. I know we have never been close friends, but I have a shrewd idea that you may take the risk and help me.

    On this assumption, therefore, I proceed to the next and last stage of this letter.

    I shall not require the whole £1,400 in a lump sum. To start with, you will help me pay a sum of £208-13s-3d to the Inner Temple. I have already received an application form from this Inn of Court; and from the details forwarded, I gather that the sum of £208-13s-3d will cover all the cost of training as a barrister, examination fees excluded.

    When I am ready to sail, you will advance me a sum of £100 to cover passage, provision for my family and any other incidental expenses (NOTE: If I got torpedoed on the way, you would certainly lose this £100 but you will recover the £208-13s-3d).

    At the same time you will remit to a London Bank the sum of £491-6s-9d. It is out of this amount that I shall pay the university fees for LL.B course and for special courses in political science and journalism, when I land in England. This is to say, the initial advance will total £800.

    At the end of the first year, provided I make satisfactory progress in my studies, you will give instruction to the bank to honour all cheques from me drawn on this account. There will be an arrangement to be signed by me on my return.

    On my return, I shall require TWO years within which to establish a solid practice and build a good reputation. After these two years, I should commence to pay at least £200 per annum either in monthly, quarterly or annual payments. So that in seven years after the first two years, I should pay back the whole sum of £1,400. That will be TWELVE YEARS from the time you help me to pay this in April or so this year, then I should be due to pay the whole of £1,400 by April 1955.

    Now, as you yourself will see, this is the farthest limit within which I can pay the money. It may be possible for me to pay the money within THREE to FIVE years of my return. As a matter of fact, the sooner I pay it off, the better. But it is much better to be on the safe side in a matter like this. It is no making promises now which will be difficult to fulfil in future. On the contrary it is better to mention a period of twelve years and pay within SIX or EIGHT years than to mention FIVE YEARS and fail to pay within TEN years. Personally, I prefer that I should fail to get the loan under theses unattractive but sure conditions, rather than succeed in getting it under attractive but precarious conditions.

    Now, this is all I have to say. You have my request before you, and the reason why i make the request. It is left for you to decide whether it is worthwhile to take the risk of helping me in the manner outlined above or not.

    If you do me the great favour, not only myself and all that are mine, but also God and Africa will be grateful, I shall have no cause whatsoever to grumble or to blame you, FOR THE RISK IS GREAT.

    Since this is a very selfish request, I enclosed herewith a self addressed stamped envelope to be sent under a registered post.

    Obafemi Awolowo.

    Merciful God!

    * Chief Odutola refused him of the Loan, Awo could not travel that year. He buckle up his lace and by August 14, 1944 (one year later) he travelled to England, became a Barrister at law and was called to the Bar in November 1946. Amazingly, by 1954 (A year to the time he promised to pay Chief Odutola the Loan ) , Chief Awolowo was already a Premier in the Defunct Western Region and already giving out Scholarship to over 200 undergraduates (First of its kind in Africa).

    I find it a great pleasure, to replicate the full version of the Awoistic dedicatory letter, following a stiff request by friends that the Nigerian Youths need to see and digest
    *copied*
    AWOLOWO SPEAKS *** Please read the letter below, by Chief Awolowo requesting for an education loan from Chief Timothy Adeola Odutola on March 25, 1943 , (the richest Ijebu man in those days) and promised to pay back by 1955. It is fascinating, long and interesting. **** ~ LETTER: Dear Mr. Odutola, I think it will be an exceeding saving of time and more business-like if I avoid all sweet preliminaries and go straight into the object of this letter and say that I am writing to ask you to be good enough to lend me a sum of £1,400 (One thousand and four hundred pounds) free of interest for twelve years. It is a staggering figure! More staggering indeed does it become, when it is realized that I, who am asking for this loan, have nothing in all the world to give as a security for this money, excepting my good faith and my brains which again are of value only so long as I continue to breathe the breath of life! Nevertheless, I here proceed to outline in brief why i want this big loan from you. And I hope you will be kind enough to sacrifice some time to go through what I have to say, even though, in the end you might find yourself unable to do me this grand favour. One great ambition of mine since my boyhood days is to be a lawyer, a politician and a journalist, rolled into one. I cherish politics and journalism as a career, and I desire advocacy as a means of livelihood. For you will agree with me that a politician or journalist who has no money with which to support himself and family comfortably, is like a blade which has no razor. Now, at one time, I was on the verge of making enough money with which I could proceed to England in order to pursue the object of my ambition; but I suffered a twist in my fortune, and I crashed. Ever since, I have tried without success to recover lost grounds, financially. But spiritually and intellectually, I have made appreciable advance in spite of towering difficulties, all of which have now been surmounted. As you are aware, I have just passed the intermediate Bachelor of Commerce Examination. Next year, I am taking the final B.Com. Having a degree is not my goal; I hate to be a government or mercantile employee. Otherwise, there are opportunities for me here and there to get a suitable and well paid job under government or one of the mercantile houses. As you know, however, once I become an employee of government or a mercantile establishment that is the end to my career as a politician and journalist. I have therefore resolved that under no circumstances will I take up such employment. That is just by the way. I am now thirty-four years of age. After careful thought, I have come to the conclusion that if I could raise a loan free of interest sufficient to cover expenses, I should go to England, this year and within three years, I should qualify as a Barrister –at –law, and also obtain with Honours the LL.B Degree of London University. In addition this degrees apart from giving me good backing as a solicitor and Advocate will help me immensely as a politician and journalist. But where on earth could i get the money? Who in Nigeria today could give £1,400 free of interest to help his fellow-man? J. Henry Doherty, Esq., of illustrious memory who did the like to many successful Nigerians is no more. But after meticulous, shifting and weighing, I hit upon you. I have no doubt whatsoever in my mind that out of the bounty with which providence blesses your grit and efforts as a businessman, you can well easily afford to advance such a sum of money. I have no doubt too that as a young and progressive man you will be quite happy to give the money for the pursuit of the project for which I desire it. But then, could you take this risk? That is the question. As I have said before, I have no security for this loan. Moreover, I want it free of interest. So that you stand to gain absolutely NOTHING in the whole transaction, except the satisfaction that by helping me to achieve my ambition you are indirectly or even directly helping Nigeria or even Africa. This risk becomes greater when it is borne in mind that I might die in the course of my studies or immediately after, so that, since I have no security or surety, you stand the chance of losing not only the money but also the satisfaction which you may cherish that you are contributing to the uplift of Africa. It is indeed a great risk; the greatest any man ever embarks upon. But, this is a big BUT, if I live, as I have no doubt I will do, you will not only get your money back in full, but you will, to the end of your days, have cause to rejoice that you have done one of the most outstanding and most philanthropic acts any human being ever does. Among other things, I shall make excellent use of the money while in England by breaking records in my examination. On my return to Nigeria, I shall strive to be one of the foremost advocates, politicians and writers in West Africa, and while I do all these, I shall make it a point not only to pay your money back in full, but also to repay your kindness and generosity towards me in every way I can. All the same, it is a big risk! So, Sir, I like you to think seriously about it, and see if you can take it in the interest of a young man who has brain, industry and determination to back his ambition, but lacks the money. I know we have never been close friends, but I have a shrewd idea that you may take the risk and help me. On this assumption, therefore, I proceed to the next and last stage of this letter.
