    December 2018 , a period I wouldn't want to share even with my enemy, or talk about, but I pen this here for someone to learn and get blessed, so read down. It was a  "Season of pruning" for me - I was cut off from few things and people, I was stretched, broken, depressed and wounded .           My birth anniversary,5th on that precise year and month , was one I didn't anticipate so much. My plans for that day were shattered, I felt handicapped and pained at that moment, knowing I couldn't do anything, like I had done the last year, visit the orphanage home, spend precious time with them and receive that kind hearted prayers of those beautiful kids. So funny I spent that day in the lecture hall, learning , and scrolling down my Facebook timeline and WhatsApp, grin as I gazed at the  tears dropping birthday write-ups of well wishers and amazing friends, as their birthday calls came in with the 'Birthday' rhythm . Thanks to Ab concept who blew my m

   Written by W.N V incent       Have you ever watched the video of a love song? I mean a clean video with really great lyric? What were your thoughts? The other day I was going through the WhatsApp statuses of people on my contact list. Just then, I came across a video on the status of Mr. Luis. It was a love song sung by a white guy. I used ‘White’ because I don’t know the singer or where he comes from. I only know his skin color and accent put him in that category. I hope I’m not being racist. I can’t remember the lyrics of the song, but what I can’t forget is how his every action showed that he loved and cared for the lady he was singing to. It was so lovely that I slipped into Mr. Luis’ DM (direct message) and said to him, “These people sure know how to be romantic. When you watch them express love, you just love it and you just want to get into a relationship quickly”. He said it was because they used the simple things around to express love. I told him that I thought the av

Written by W.N Vincent Over the years, and despite the diverse challenges, the Nigerian culture has managed to survive via some sort of telepathic connection, if I must say. We may talk about ourselves within the country, but the moment an ‘outsider’ talks about us, everyone will ‘attack’ that outsider. Whether we have got our backs bumper-to-bumper in such cases or we just like savage replies, I do not know, but it seems to be working for us. You may have lived in Kaduna, Enugu, Ibadan, or Bayelsa, but growing up, there were some things we all did the same despite the geographical, ethnic, cultural and language barriers. Let’s roll back the years, shall we? We all played games like, ‘War start’, ‘Canter ball’, ‘Boju-Boju’, ‘Rope-skipping’, ‘Police and Thief’, ‘Tinko-Tinko’, ‘Ten-Ten’, ‘Ayo’, ‘Suwe’, ‘Who will you marry?’, ‘Street/Compound soccer’, just to mention but a few, for both the male and the female child. Even if your parents moved from Warri to Akwa Ibom, you could

  The Road To Success You apparently don't have  all you need to achieve your dreams and goals now.😩 Just be consistent in what you do, even when help seem a thousand mile away.😴 Strategically plan and work with the available resources (physical and mental).  You're permitted to cry, when you can't hold it, but pls don't  give up or say something negative to yourself. 😢 Loved ones could become strangers at the process, people will give up on you, but get this......they shouldn't be your problem, they're only playing a dormant role . 😦 In your scale of preference, you will make so much sacrifice and opportunity cost ,while inventing in yourself and the future. 😃 Don't feel you're a failure or behind , when you see others succeeding. Your angle of elevation is not as same with theirs, keep climbing, there's a very top. 😅 Don't feel God is being hard on you or probably, forgotten you , You're jus

VALUE      Many will keep on being liabilities in their place of service and to their fellow human, because they've failed to increase in capacity towards adding value to service and humanity.  Assets are value Assets are valued  Assets have value Assets add value  Thanks for reading Monday's diary on doratales ,next edition will be awesome.You can like,drop your comments to how our articles has inspired you, share with friends also and don't forget to subscribe and follow our page.  #i_am_DorA #i_stand_to #MakeITRight

   I've always wanted to make this post, but I keep on postponing it, but the urge to say this keeps coming, and I believe the holysprit wants to speak to someone now and in the future............ Read on and share 😊 I grew up learning One major thing in life, from my parents and that was 'The Family altar'. I've meet quite some numbers of children, who don't know what it means to have a morning devotion at home. When asked if they prayed that morning, they stare at my face as if I spoke in parables.     We had a center table in my house,while growing up,  where my parents would gather the six of us ( I and my siblings ) to knee down every morning for devotion,Dad would always tell us, "God loves children and hearkens to their voice very fast, so pray very well". We worshiped God and prayed on that table each morning till we all grew up even till date. My Dad later called that center table 'The family altar '. It became a part of us as the

LIFE's MISSION          We are sojourners here on earth, our days of journey are numbered, we'll definitely pass on from here some day, but have we considered asking ourselves this simple questions  ? : What am I doing presently?  What and who brought me here?  Why was I brought on earth (My life mission) ? How far have I walked to accomplish my life  mission? These actually are profound questions walking towards ' Creation purpose and mandate ' .        A man who knows his mission in earth, will pursue it everything he's got, without giving a chance to distraction,  A little distraction can take you off focus and off-balance . Many today are busy accomplishing another man's mission, being ignorant (no clue or direction)  or abandoning theirs, thus having no satisfaction in life.        Jesus said in John 9:15 "As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world ". Hé knew the world will be in total darkness without him, that&
