«For we brought nothing in to the world, and obviously we cannot take anything out of this world» 1st Tim 6: 7 Amplified Bible
Apart from the Guber elections this weekend, my wife started her ice cream business three days before the elections and I was available to act as VOLTRON on the mercies of Obasanjo's two days public holiday. I was around on the second day to witness a flood of retailers lining up to collect blocked ice cream; the whole place was in disarray and there was no time to do anything else except attend to customers. The business actually surprised me because two days into it, the human traffic was unprecedented; this was a good indication of my wife's sales prowess. Another thing that surprised me was that after the retailers were gone for their morning ride, consumers started walking in to buy in retail and the wholesale model immediately transformed to retail. My wife and I had to change the vision statement from being the best supplier of blocked ice cream to being the best supplier of cold non-alcoholic, non-bottled drinks because retail customers that walked in were more interested in Juice and the Burn Energy drinks I bought from Ayo during his Intern Show final task. All the euphoria of sales came to a temporary halt when the business made a huge loss.

Good question. This is something worth taking a deep reflection on and if you are not the very religious type, I would invite you to tighten your seat belt as you take this ride with me. Let me use typical examples to drive home my point; I am single, female and I need to get married for whatever reason (social pressure, peer jealousy, independence from home, procreation, lonely syndrome, economic issues, please you are welcome to fill in the blank). You have prayed to God about it, fasted (dry, wet, only fruits, etc), confessed, you have been patient and it appears as if the only thing that comes your way is your birthday which you now despise with all alacrity. What can I do? Am I doing something wrong? Why me? If you have been sensible enough to ask yourself these questions, you are definitely at the right place.
Every time I see comments made by my fellow Christian brethren, I can't but cringe at the blame game that is prominent in these comments. The comments always reveal helplessness by the same people who are expected to be a watchdog on this earth. When I posted «Your take –THIS DAY MUSIC FESTIVAL», my dear readers immediately assumed I totally agree with the write-up of my dear friend, Bolaji Osinuga, but I don't. I am actually not very happy with the comment; I am actually awed by it. Write-ups like this have kept me thinking all night on how we (the Christians) are re-incarnating the drama that took place in the Garden of Eden.
