_...God is awesome, an unrepentant redeemer of His word_
My life has been that of sacrifice; from my days in our prestigious University of Benin, thereafter, and to my current engagement in the political circle, it has been a life of sacrifice, service, community development, having equipped myself long before now, it is never inconveniencing having to stretch forth a hand of sacrifice, fellowship to a brother all the time, regardless the time or place.
I plan to be even more sacrificial 2024 and beyond, God-willing.
I posses a natural and unwavering trait that helps me to stay permanently happy, never moody, never arrogant, peaceable, responsive, accessible and ever ready to help within my capacity, many times however, I have had to overlap; what is life without impact?
My experience and exposure in mainstream politics and several other public engagements contributes significantly to my impression and view on life, give a helping hand where and when you have to; for a leader, the joy happiness and progress of those around you, looking up to you, must continue to give you a measure of happiness and satisfaction.
No leader ever failed, that raised people in his heydays; those he raised surely turned around to secure him for the rest of his natural life.
As a man, saddled with the responsibility to ensure public good, it becomes expedient to more often than not, x-ray the potentials you possess, responsibilities entrusted you and how much impact your personality has done to your constituents, where and when it is observed below average, then there is a need to up your ante.
Whereas in 2023, despite the largesse that followed for some, it still has been a miserable year to many, as they did not achieve any of what they set to; but then, the failure of dreams to come true is never a death sentence.
You must now work harder, strategize better, draw closer to your creator, pulling off every garment of frustration and look up to year 2024 and the years after with hopes and enthusiasm and most importantly, work, without necessarily getting yourself overly exhausted trying to measure up.
Life is a phase, God has deposited in each and every man his own destiny, once it is time, your light will shine, regardless of the forces that may wage resistance, your divine destiny must shine, within a space of a moment, your entire life expectations becomes a reality, this is how God works, you must build your hopes and aspirations around God, while working with or for men.
Men may fail in their promises, God is awesome, an unrepentant redeemer of His word, none of His words ever return empty; perfection lies in Him, and like man, God never lie, His promises are hay and mighty, to redeem man from the shackles of hate, poverty, lack, want, confusion, infirmities and spiritual miscalculations.
Whereas 2024, like the years before it is just another calendar year, you must however, design it to be more than just a calendar year to you.
By setting realistic goals, getting involved in productive activities within and outside your immediate locality, build relationships that afford you unique opportunities to contribute significantly to the growth and development of your communities and by extension expand your self worth, develop healthy habits and eschew destructive tendencies.
In Edo particularly, we are faced with the challenge of sustaining ongoing reforms in our areas, the journey has begun, 2024 affords us the opportunity to either make or mar the fortunes of our dear State; yes we may travel to find favour in other lands, the state of our home remains yet paramount in our daily living.
Going forward, do not let the tiny distractions of 2023 discourage you, it was never your fault, decision or desire not to achieve certain business, economic, academic, political or other kinds of projections, the setback was just a phase of life that fades out in the remaining few hours of this year, with 2024 and the years ahead presenting you better platforms to replan.
As we sail on, let us be more humane, let us improve in our reward system for people who toil tirelessly to keep the system running, let us also be concerned with how much those who work for, or with us have improved, those around us with insufficient intellect, let's help them plan their lives, God has deposited in us tips to succeed, let's learn to share information.
We did so much this year—helping humanity, building peace and developing capacity; 2024, with the barrage of expectations and responsibilities that accompanies it, we must be ready to do even more, we must be prepared, body and spirit, to join the army of defenders to protect and defend the sacrosanct ideals of the founding fathers of our land, by so doing, we will be etching our names and generations unborn in gold.
Happy new year in advance.
