I REMEMBER BY JOSHUA N. NICHOLAS I remember when a plate of pepper soup/ catfish goes for N200 at base 4 but now it is N400. I remember when i newly came to Awka (eastern Nigeria) before the 2015 general elections, a cup of rice was sold for N50, but now a cup of rice goes for N100. I remember then I use to be on MTN Family/friends tarrif plan and 17kobo goes for 1sec. But now the tide has changed as MTN beta talk now goes for 40kobo/sec. I remember when I newly started college, my weekly allowance was 2k, I use, spend, give, dash and use, still yet i always have left over at the end of the week. But now 7k cannot see me through mid-week, I use, spend and borrow. I remember my favourite mini-bread goes for N50 but now the same bread @Yale goes for N120 with reduced quality. I can decide to keep on remembering and remembering. Please where are we going to in this country. The meaning of moving forward does it also affect the standard of living and the prices of things. As price...

That was how Blake took her by the hand and they both went to dance. But after the dancing, they came back to their seats and Blake taught her how to sip "the hyness thing" without getting ...

The favour of God can be described as a tangible evidence that an individual has the approval of the Lord. It is the special affection of God towards you that releases an influence on you, so that others are inclined to like you, or to cooperate with you.  *The Salvation Ministries founder, David Ibiyeomie continued:* The favour of God is what determines the limits of every man’s destiny. Once you are favoured, you are made. Favour is the mother of destiny. Favour is what converts labour into fortune. It enhances the value of your labour. The limit of your destiny is defined by the level of favour operating in your life. When God’s favour is at work in your life, it makes you prosper wherever you are; even in a strange land. Favour made Daniel to prosper in Babylon, it distinguished Isaac in Philistine and made Joseph to prosper in Potiphar’s house. Even Pharaoh handed the whole Egypt to Joseph just by the favour of God. That is why I know that the favour of God will disti...
