THE ORGANISATION OF ME MYSELF AND I
The me, myself and I attitude is one that reigns in the life of people that dont listen to the thought of others most especially the bad things that others say about them, the things they do that people go around and change, and they just lock their feelings away and throw the key into the farthest lake.
All that matters in the world is what i feel, what i want, what i think and what i need, and the mentality is not everyone wants you where you are or is happy where you are and those who do still hold your down fall in mind so since you only live once,you live how you deem fit but that's far from what our ultimate design in life and we are drifting far from it the more we don't care the more we feel we are the only one existing the more the "love your neighbor as you love yourself slogan" becomes a myth the more we wallow in self righteousness and our unity fades and begin to ignore the fellowship of the brethren all because people talk about us, and we don't want to listen, we drift away from our purpose in life because of others?
We should remember that no man is an island and we need each other to operate and everything said by everyone no matter the nonsense there is still sense pick up the sense and drop the non cause it will help. Listen to the bad things others have to say and laugh go to your inner chamber and think because words can build. Keep friends or relationship you are totally your self and treat them as reasonable personnel's and when given an advice from any of them even when you wont heed to them appreciate them in other not to be in the

a nigerian's speech
She’s black and proud she’s a Nigerian
with great hope for her nation, she gave a speech on her country during her
presentation here’s her speech;
Dear Nigeria, from the lands of Zaria to Calabar, from Lagos to Abuja I feel your Love. 5Million people proudly walk your streets half of them with no shoes on their feet, but if you ask them where they are from they will proudly proclaim, Nigeria we Hail thee!
They say I am not of your blood
because I have plead to serve abroad, but if you ask me my name I
will proudly proclaim SOGBEYE KELECHI OKORO, an Ibo woman with Kalabari blood
from Port Harcourt.
I will say, my people put down the words of
Hate, corruption and internal segregation. This tribalism and foolishness is
brewing more hate. Britain may have given us our name but they can never take
our faith.
The Beauty of the many languages we
speak, that’s why we need to stand on our feet. Let’s come together as one and
make a change.
Nigeria I believe in your love and
beauty and one day from the bondage you will be free. If you come together and
believe we could truly accomplish this dream run this world and stand on our
own two feet.
This too I believe that’s why when they ask me
my pedigree I say Nigeria we hail thee and drop to my knees.

The truth still a virtue
Veteran peace campaigner Archbishop Desmond Tutu has been awarded $1m (£620,000) by the Mo Ibrahim Foundation for "speaking truth to power".
The London-based Foundation called the cleric "one of Africa's great voices for justice, freedom, democracy and responsible, responsive government".
He won the Nobel Peace Prize and 10m Swedish Krona (£935,000) in 1984 for his campaign against apartheid.
Archbishop Tutu responded by thanking his wife, Leah, for her guidance.
"I have been very fortunate throughout my life to be surrounded by people of the highest caliber, beginning with my extraordinary wife," said the archbishop in a statement."
“It
is these generous people who have guided, prodded, assisted, cajoled
and ultimately allowed me to take the credit,” he reiterated.
Outspoken
cleric The South African cleric remains outspoken on international affairs, and has been a fierce critic of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians as well as China's treatment of Tibetans.
In August, he pulled out of a leadership summit in Johannesburg because he refused to share a platform with former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Archbishop Tutu said Mr. Blair and former US President George W Bush should be tried at the International Criminal Court in The Hague for lying about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction in order to justify invading the country.
Mr. Blair issued a strongly worded defense of his decisions, rejecting the archbishop's allegations as "completely wrong as every single independent analysis of the evidence has shown".
MO Ibrahim Foundation
The Mo Ibrahim Foundation also offers an annual $5m prize to a former African head of state for good governance.
The most recent recipient of that award was Cape Verde's former President Pedro Verona Rodrigues Pires in 2011.
Winners must have been democratically elected and agreed to leave office.
In some years the prize has not been awarded because no-one has been deemed a worthy enough winner.
The winner of the 2012 prize, if it is awarded, would be announced later this month.
Mo Ibrahim
Mo Ibrahim was born in 1946 and is a British-Sudanese mobile communications entrepreneur and philanthropist who made billions from investing in Africa.
He argues that his foundation's $5m prize, the world's most valuable individual prize is needed because many leaders of sub-Saharan African countries come from poor backgrounds and are tempted to hang on to power for fear that poverty is what awaits them when they give up the levers of power.
The inaugural prize was awarded in 2007 to Joaquim Chissano, Mozambique's former president, who has since acted as a mediator in several African disputes.
‘Go back to its roots’
After announcing the award for Archbishop Tutu, Mr Ibrahim launched a scathing attack on South Africa's governing African National Congress.
He said that the party which led the fight to end white minority rule should "go back to its roots" and needed some "soul-searching".
Mr Ibrahim said he was "less enthusiastic" about investing in South Africa than he was 5 or 10 years ago but said he was still sure the country had a great future.

underneath infections
 |
| Susan McKinley's breast |
We don’t know the parasites lurking in our
new under garments, we sometimes were even without washing, no matter what part
of the world you buy under garments they are not a hundred percent germ free. This
is Susan’s story:
After
anthropologist Susan McKinley came back home from an expedition in South America,
she noticed a very strange rash on her left breast. Nobody knew what it was and
she quickly dismissed it believing that the holes would leave within a short
time.
Upon her return, she decided to see a doctor
after she started developing intense pains. The doctor, not knowing the exact
severity of the disease, gave her antibiotics and special creams. As time
lapsed the pain did not subside and her left breast became more inflamed and
started to bleed..
She decided to bandage her sores, however as
Susan's pain grew more intense she decided to seek help from a more certified
doctor. Dr. Lynch could not diagnose the infection and told Susan to seek the
aid of one of his colleagues who specialized in dermatology whom was sadly on
vacation. She waited for two weeks and finally was able to reach the
dermatologist.
A life-changing event
At her next appointment she had a life
changing experience: To Miss McKinley's surprise, after she removed the
bandages, they found larva growing and squirming within the pores and sores of
her breast.
Sometimes these wicked creatures would all
together simultaneously move around into different crevices. What she didn't
know was that the holes were in fact, deeper than she had originally thought
for these larvae were feeding off the fat, tissue, and even milk canals of her
bosom.
The root of the problem was eventually
discovered to be the effect of parasites from the newly acquired bra she wore
immediately before she travelled.
OMITTED PRIORITIES
OMITTED PRIORITIES
Some
times in life we omit the most important things in life and concentrate on the
least important things in life, wasting our time on things that are not worth
our time, like this the story of this king;
Once
upon a time there was a rich King who had four wives. The king married them at
different times and had different reasons of loving them; he made sure they
knew why he loved them in different ways.
He loved the 4th wife the most because of her
beauty and her skin and adorned her with rich robes and treated her to the
finest of delicacies. He gave her nothing but the best.
He also
loved the 3rd wife very much because she was presentable and social and was
always showing her off to neighboring kingdoms. However, he feared that one day
she would leave him for another.
He
also loved his 2nd wife. She was his confidant and was always kind, considerate
and patient with him. Whenever the King faced a problem, he could confide in
her, and she would help him get through the difficult times.
The
King's 1st wife was a very loyal partner and had made great contributions in
maintaining his wealth and kingdom. However, he did not love the first wife.
Although she loved him deeply, he hardly took notice of her!!!
Who would go with
me?
One
day, the King fell ill and he knew his time was short. He thought of his
luxurious life and wondered, "I now have four wives with me, but when I
die, I'll be all alone."
Thus,
he asked the 4th wife, "I have loved you the most, endowed you with the
finest clothing and showered you with great care. Now that I’m dying,
will you follow me and keep me company?" "No way!" replied
the 4th wife and she walked away without another word. Her answer cut like a
sharp knife right into his heart.
The
sad King then asked the 3rd wife, "I have loved you all my life. Now
that I'm dying, will you follow me and keep me company?" "No!"
replied the 3rd wife. "Life is too good! When you die, I'm going to
remarry!" His heart sank and turned cold.
He
then asked the 2nd wife, "I have always turned to you for help and
you've always been there for me. When I die, will you follow me and keep me
company?" "I'm sorry, I can't help you out this time!"
replied the 2nd wife. "At the very most, I can only walk with you to
your grave." Her answer struck him like a bolt of lightning, and the
King was devastated.
I will go
Then
a voice called out: "I'll go with you. I'll follow you no matter where
you go. "The King looked up, and there was his first wife. She was
very skinny as she suffered from malnutrition and neglect. Greatly grieved, the
King said, "I should have taken much better care of you when I had the
chance!"
In
truth, we all have the 4 wives in our lives: Our 4th wife is
our body, No matter how much time and effort we lavish in making it look good,
it will leave us when we die.
Our
3rd wife is our possessions, status and wealth, when we die, it will all go to
others.
Our
2nd wife is our family and friends, No matter how much they have been there for
us, the furthest they can stay by us is up to the grave.
And
our 1st wife is our Soul, Neglected in pursuit of wealth, power and the
pleasures of the world.
However, our Soul is the only thing that will
follow us wherever we go. Cultivate, strengthen and cherish it now, for it is
the only part of us that will follow us to the throne of God and continue with
us throughout Eternity.
Thought
for the day: Remember, when the world pushes you to your knees, you're in the
perfect position to pray.
