Africa Hero

 Opinion news

               Let us speak of the great achievement that one of African man just accomplished and to be precise they are two of them in that team of Chelsea, I am speaking of N'golo Kante and Edouard Mendy the champion of Europe the most coveted cup in the world of football, but I will only talk about N'golo Kante because he has been consistent and his rise to the world of football is been awesome.

               This African son, as many before him show us that when you give an African son opportunity and proper environment, these African son are really excellent and their gifts and talent is second to none, in the past African son like, Roger Milla, Samuel Eto, Patrick Mboma, Kanu, JJ Okosha, Finindi George, George Weah, Kabongo Ngoie, Makelele, and Lucas Radebe the list goes on and on because this African son have show cast their talent all over the league of Europe with success that is above any one of their European and South American teammates.

                The story of N'golo Kante is very peculiar, this guy rise in the stardom is amazing and it make everyone to pay attention to it, as African and born in Africa, from Mali without any financial support from his parent but having only the dream like most of African man, one day I will go to Europe and better my life, above all he have the gift and talent of football which is running inside his blood, it all started in France, what make him special, the man is small not a giant like most of the boys from Africa are, and he is playing in the position where according to expert you supposed to be giant and tall but N'golo Kante is not none of that, what is interesting Wenger when he was Arsenal manager refused to buy him because he was small, who know if this was the blessing which he needed, otherwise we were not going to see the magic that we are seeing right now.

                 In the year 2014, N'golo Kante make his debut as professional footballer at the club called Caen, one of the small club in France not all the glamour teams of France Ligue1, from day one, he did not let the opportunity past him and he got it with both hands. then in 2015 in reality this is just the following season, then he join Leicester City for 9 million which is modest consider how the transfer market is perceived, also let us say this the premier league in England it is the most competitive league in Europe and it is very physical, here we have N'golo Kante small in physic and a playing in the middle of the park, oh my word N'golo Kante conquer England with amazing display of skill which was above all and him and Leicester City teammates make the unthinkable by winning the premier league above teams like Manchester United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester City this was in 2016, and this is his first major cup achievement , 2017 he join Chelsea one of the big club in England and Europe in the same season he won again the premier league, his second major honor in the club level, then come 2018 the world cup France manage to make him play for them, he became the world cup winner with France,in 2019 he became Europa league winner with Chelsea this is another major honor, then this year 2021 in champion league with Chelsea N'golo Kante was the great player above the rest, he destroy Madrid in the semi final alone and he handle Manchester City in the final again, as for the rest of his majors honor either with the club or national team, N'GOLO KANTE  was and is the core of the team, it is like without him the engine will not work or start, in only six seasons the incredible N'GOLO KANTE made a clean sweep of all major club and country honors, now let me say at 11 of July of 2021, he will be European champion with France, this is an honor which so many players some of them the best in the world did not win these honors, I am seeing him being the ballon d'or of this year because there is no one like him this season.

              To conclude the man is so humble and down to earth like nothing is happening to his life, for him cups is just a benefit that come after doing his work, then is like he say next let us go again. this make me to say this with a proper situation and environment Africa and African can change the world and make Africa a better place for all, before honor is humility, N'golo Kante smile and humility must i repeat it must teach us one things and how make our opportunity count.

Let Africa Arise again through is gifts and talent not only minerals.

        Be bless all

Africa day

 Opinion news

                The 25 of may is the Africa day, As an African man I have a thought for this beautiful continent it population endure a lot of hardship but they still standing tall, and they smile and sing their songs with a great big smiles on their faces.

                 Africa as a name was also given to this beautiful land by the outsiders who come here put the population of this beautiful continent under extreme conditions, let me start by saying before the whites man come into AFRICA, they were Kingdoms which have great civilization and great prosperity and also great people some of them did do great trips to Saud Arab of today for religious pelerinage and the man was the riches man on the earth at that times, Soudiata Keita the King Manden Empire, one of the great empire in Africa, the Monomotapa empire, the Luba and Kongo kingdoms in Congo, the Zulu Kingdom with the great Shaka Zulu, also the Timbuktu which was the high place of learning, my opinion will not contain all this name because the list is long of this great things that the African people did before the coming of the white man in Africa, the concept that is out there, Africa was without civilization before the coming of the white man is false, the fact is the old Egypt was rule by African that goes with all the pyramid and things found in Egypt was made by African and to be precise blacks African, and this was a prosperous and more civilize Africa ever, than what they are trying to sale to us by the narration of the oppressor, African saying goes like this the day a lion will tell us his story we will stop believing the hunters story. and that times is now that African must tell their own story to the world.

               In 1996 then the president of South Africa, president Thabo Mbeki give a speech[ I will advice you the google it] that speech was I AM AN AFRICAN, at the end of the speech He said today I am proud to be African, that speech change my perception of Africa that I am living in, because the difficulty of Africa make me to be blind of how beautiful Africa is, the Africa land is so beautiful with forest, rivers, desert, animals oh we have Lions, Elephant, Okapi in Congo, Rhinos, Leopards and many kind of snakes, the list is long, our land beneath got all kind of minerals Gold, Diamond, Copper, Coltan, platinum, Oil and many more even we have not yet discover that is how rich Africa is all about,on top of it all it is young continent with a great number of younger population in the world that is the potential which make us to be different and it will make us rise easily.

            But beside all this great things that the almighty God has shower Africa with, we still having huge problem, when you watch the news of Africa it always about wars, sickness natural disaster, political fighting which I do not want to lie it is depressing by watching those kind of the news, also let say there is also great story to tell of how the modern Africa is changing, there is also African children who are contributing in the world development, in the science, economy, even in sport and music for decade modern African are the pioneer in this domain, in some of the cases they are doing it outside of their mother land because the condition is favorable but after they are still African, all is not lost but we still have a long way to go to make Africa rise again.

          We need to reflect on this after going through the slavery and still standing tall, colonization and still standing tall, apartheid still standing tall, segregation and racism still standing tall and seeing how our brothers and sister young as they are dying at the sea by trying to cross to Europe for better life, it break my heart and say we still have a lot to do to make this paradise continent paradise again not only in the spirit but with see it in our life time, built a better Africa for all African.

Africa Arise is a reality 

In this Africa Day I am proud to be call African

Pandemic the Covid-19 issue

 Opinion news

                Let me first give the meaning of the pandemic, pandemic is an epidemic of an infectious diseases that has spread across a large region, for example multiples continents or worldwide, now as we know what is all about, I still remember when WHO did declare Covid-19 as a pandemic, the world was in the panic and experts and no experts were all speculating of what was going to happen and even the religious leaders enter the frame, I can said the situation was muddy.

                My point is not about finding who is guilty about this pandemic but I will want to address something here, this pandemic started in China, and how did China deal with about it remain a mystery because there is no much that the Chinese authority are release about the beginning and where did it originated but in small amount of time all the world was in the fire of this pandemic, yes the saying that goes the world is a small village was proven correct by the pandemic Covid-19.

               They were people or so called experts whom did said Africa continent will be the most affected of all because of the poor facility of hospitals and the health facility in many African countries are not up to the developpe countries, but they were all wrong because the so called developpe countries were losing people badly and their so called modern hospitals were no longer able to accommodate the sick people and panic and scary moment was all over the place and they was a time no one knew what to do! then the race to vaccine started and we now hearing about the vaccine will be deliver in about short period of times which was done and let me say it is a miracles.

                Let me say this again in all of this and which many people died in Europe, America and now India and South America but Africa still have very few number of dead people or sick of Covid-19, expect South Africa and all the experts have no answers to this, I can only said thank you to God all mighty.

                The point I want to make is when the vaccine was made to the people, we are now seeing the true character of the human being, then the class has appear again between the rich and the poor countries, because the vaccine became the rare commodity that only the rich countries want to have it and keep it for themselves, first the created what they covax where they said it will accommodate all the poor countries, then people said bravo this is noble thing to do, but wait a moment then the same rich countries whom wanted to support the poor countries went ahead and buy all or most of the vaccines and stock it all in their countries even in some instant they buy more even what they need to have, they did not even hearken to the WHO that equitable distribution of the vaccines to all is essential for the eradication of the pandemic but this rich countries did not hear that and they went ahead got the vaccines for themselves, it is like the race for the vaccines was open and the rich countries have formula 1 cars and poor countries have cart race cars, you will see for yourself the result will not be the same, we know find ourselves that rich countries are now vaccinating kids because they have finish with the vaccination of older people, even some of them are giving money as a way to bring those among them does not what to get the vaccination, when in Africa for example in the time of my writing not even 1% of the population is vaccinated and in Asia also not many have been vaccinated, now we are seeing India being under very sever wave of covid-19 but the rich countries are having stocks of the vaccine that they do not need or used.

                there is also the issue of the wave of the vaccines patent that some African countries must used and make the vaccines themselves because most of African still not trusting the vaccines, the history the vaccines with African need to be consider here, and also it must not became the way of making money and making African to be poor again with the selling of the vaccines.

                This is what make me to conclude with the Biblical verse from John 13:34, that I will say Christ love for us is not dependent on quality in us that make us lovable. He love us because He is love regardless of our strengths or weaknesses. in same manner I am calling to the rich countries to come to their sense and compassion that make them do covax for poor countries and if the vaccines is the most answer for this pandemic therefore let it be given to all countries a respective of the strengths and weaknesses of the poor countries, that is what Jesus said love your one another, we will not fulfil that when others countries are suffering from the covid-19 and others are busy closing down their borders for others that is not what call love one another and the world is a small village.

For us the overcome the pandemic let us care and love for one another.

take care and see you next time for another opinion

Israeli vs Palestinian conflict

 Opinion

          The conflict of Israel and the Palestinian people is a long conflict that no one has an answer to it, sometimes or most of the times the religious leaders say a lot about by the interpretation of the scriptures most the times with biases views which painted God as a monster or God which is some group of people against the others.

          Let me give this brief of the nation of Israel as we know now, let say this I am not going to give you Israel as the Bible say for now, but I am going to give a brief history of Israel as we know it now as a country, it was founded after the second world war, and the United Nation resolution, to allocate the Israeli that piece of land in the middle east, then come the masse of exodus of Israeli most of them from Europe running from the masse killing from the hands of the Nazi, that brought the establishment of the nation of Israel as we know it, and they were staying side by side with the Palestinian without any conflict in the beginning in the fact when you study the early history that was very peaceful time and even the piece of the land allocated to them by United Nation resolution was small portion of the land, that was fine until they Israeli became powerful military wise let me put it this way, military powerful than all of the region.

          But where this crises we are seeing coming from, it is because of selfish, wanting to have more power, the fear of the other or wanting to destroy the other on the map of the earth if you are God the creator, enter the frame of the religious extremist by claiming right to Jerusalem as the Holy city or place, when Christ in John 4:21 put it clear that there is no more Holy site than the body of each person because we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, not long after the ego of being powerful was up, the war between the Arab and Israeli started and Egypt find themselves in the wrong side of the war and they were defeated after 6 days of the war, and that victory give Israeli especially those in the extremist side declare that it was God giving them victory against the pagan people and then Israel took advantage of seizing bigger portion of the land, even taking Egypt land by wanting it to be like in the times of the Joshua and David from the Bible, therefore the circle of the lost of life begin since then until today.

          Military Israel became stronger than any nations that are around Israel even having nuclear bombe, then Palestinian were driver out of their land and those small number that stay behind were put under suffering by the new master call Israeli, history just repeat itself , yesterday the Israeli were under the suffering of the Nazi but now they are making the Palestinian suffer , you may say but this people know very well what is suffering therefore we must not make others people suffer but let us be with compassion and mercy but no they are behaving contrary even to what the Bible said, because the book of Moses which is the base of their faith has provision on the foreigners and how to treat foreigners, but their military power blinded them.

         Thinking that solution will come out of military power it is a grave mistakes because the determination of the people for what they think it is their right no military power can stop that, before we used to see the news image of Palestinian fighting of the stones but now they are using rockets just who know what they will used tomorrow? and in mean times people are dying especially children and women and older people because of selfish leaders from both sides who think that they are right by playing this dangerous games of the war. they will not going to be the winner in this, they just need to sit down and try work how can they live together side by side and sharing the resource that land provide for all of them.

          In conclusion trying to connect this new Israel as we know it, and connect it to Abraham rightfully or wrongly it is a complicating matter and making it to be so complex, because I do not believe God, as the Bible is presenting him will allow things like this to happen one group of the people because they are not his people? I do not think so, because ACTS 17:30.

      THANK YOU BE BLESS

Opinion and as leader of opinion let me have a say

 It is very interesting times we are going, and with the power of social medias everybody today have a platform to put things out there and have people following him or her, especial today with the populism and extremism are very up and with a lot of followers.

I am going to put my opinion on the debate of when a Christian leader fall short in the moral ethic set by the Bible and it bring the Christian family divide in two, because there is those who support the leader and those who go against the leader, this is my opinion today as leader myself at Christian family I will like to put some opinion in this matter.

I call it patronize why I call it patronize, it is because when  I watch the movie, I mean secular movie or tv drama, you will see this scene when the person cheat on his wife or the husband when he or she been caught, you will hear this sentence almost all the movie have them, No honey she or he mean nothing to me, it was a mistake, please you are the most person of my life, but the question is you did cheat and you waited until you been caught to come to say all this sweet words, this is what I call patronizing someone with the motivation word which is what you want someone to hear  but inside you , practically it mean nothing and you have no remorse at all.

That is what the secular world does and they will go like that until all the excuses are run out of them, but the Christians world, is different they have this way of patronizing the situation also,when a Christian leader fall short Bible ethics, you will hear this from the Christians family ; do not touch the anointed man of God, or this one I am also a human being, or this one the one who have not sin must cast first the stoned, the motivation words goes on and on.

When you study very well both excuses, you will arrived to this conclusion that both sides they just copy each others and are using the method that is used in their circle, but the problem is not solved at all, and contrary it make the situation worse.

Let see how the Bible solve situation like this, because nothing happen to us is new, let see King David situation with Bathsheba[ THE STORY IS ON 2 SAMUEL 12] when prophet Nathan was sent to King David by God , King David reaction was not of defending himself, especially when the parable was explain to him that he was the culprit, what he did was he took the matter to God and He repent with clean heart and He show remorse, no way I saw in the Bible King David did said to prophet Nathan that He is a man according to God heart, but He went to God and seek forgiveness of his sin and the Lord did restore him and he did pay his sin consequence, when you read the book of Samuel you will understand it, actually God was going to kill him but his repentance was a TRUE  repentance not a leap service.

Let see the story in the book of John chapter 8 on the adultery woman, the Jewish mob were ready to stone her to death but they brought her to Jesus and my God they thought Jesus was going to accept their method, but Jesus said to them the one without sin must cast first the stone and none of them did, this is not mean JESUS was accepting the sin or saying let us sin but Jesus telling them about restoration and forgiveness, the most important things is the word Jesus utter to the women, by saying go and sin not, that is very important for us to note and carry it in our heart, go and sin not, Jesus is teaching us that after our sin is made public and when we repent about our sin in private, it mean we must not commit it again, both from this woman and King David, I do not see in the Bible where they went sin again the same sin.

in conclusion saying to people you are also a human being then you are able to do such act but let me tell you this before you commit that act as far we know you were still a human being, also saying you are anointed man of God therefore people must not touch you but as far as we know, you are still a man of God before you commit the act, the best things to do is to go to God and humble yourself and have remorse about your sin and ask God to forgive and give you power over the sin because without God power and Holy Spirit we will not win over sin, the Bible said do not let sin dominion over you.

I am unique or You are unique

 Let us talk on something very peculiar which is to be unique, to be who you are not trying to be somebody else, today world most of people want to copy or to be like someone else, let me make it clear, I am not against having someone as a role model or a pattern to follow but to be like someone else is impossible, because we are all different and that is why we were not all born same time or same year, I will support my topic from the scriptures, which is from Judges 16:4-7,11 and 17 by reading this portion of the scripture you will arrived to understand how Samson wanted to be something which He was not.

The story is about Samson, let me just give the breakdown on that story, it was during the oppression the Philistine to the people of the Israel, history just repeat itself remember they were slave in Egypt for 430 years then, now here again they are again suffering under the hand of the Philistine for 40 years, if you can think of the nations or race group whom went trough slavery, colonization, and apartheid there is no one than African and Africa continent.

For those who like the number or numerology , number 40 is the number of the transition, look very well in the Bible you will see that number 40 is repeat a lot, let me give some of it, Jesus Christ did fast for 40 days, the Spies sent to the promise land did spy for 40 days, Moses did fast for 40 days, the flood was for 40 days , Elijah did fast for 40 days, the wandering in the wilderness by the Israelites lasted for 40 years then you will that 40 is the number of transition because at the end of number 40 you will enter to the new atmosphere and here we will see something new of the wow factor will happen with the birth of Samson.

Samson's mother was barren and it must be God special intervention or grace for his birth to happen, God himself trough the Angel announce the birth of the son and his Samson was given, because the son is unique therefore the diet of the mother must change during all the times of her pregnancy, when you are carrying something unique you do not walk or follow popular believe anymore, his uniqueness was declare and proclaim fully without confusion, he was a Nazarene, he was not call to touch dead body, not drinking of the Alcohol and also not cutting his hair, this make him to be unique and not like any other man out there.

Do not copy be unique because even your DNA is only unique to you, when you start copying you will waste energy and time, to be extraordinary is to be unique and it require discipline and hard work and excellent. 

As long as Samson was keeping his principle he was unique and powerful a man able to beat an army alone without help from any one but when he wanted to be like anyone else He became an ordinary man all his glory left him, please let us stay unique without copying any body and the Samson will emerge and lead the world in the new path of glory and victory and financial freedom and sound leadership.

Be bless and stay unique
