A 2nd Chance,I beg.

I received the much awaited call that was a life-changing opportunity.
Unfortunately,the communication between us was hampered  by some technical hitches,at one point I said,"I'm sorry i can't get you well but,.."The caller just hanged up the phone.
I tried calling&smsing but to no avail.And that was the end of our communication.

Well,I know you could be ascribing to the philosophy that opportunity come once in a life time.

Put yourself in my situation who is to blame.Though I had a consolation that it was not meant to be,that was just a way of easing my pressure.

I'm sure most of us have ever lost an opportunity but it wasn't our mistakes or it could be our mistakes.But, I strongly believe that we should listen to the other party too.To err is human we could have lost a precious chance to work,live,love with the best simply because we  didn't give them a 2nd chance.

If God gives us a 2nd chance who are we not to.
 Jonah 3:1-10: And the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the second time, saying.......
David repented and given a 2nd chance.
Salvation gives us a 2nd chance.

It's through being merciful and forgiving that we can accommodate others even having done all manner of ills to us.One doesn't have a guarantee that divorcing their spouse will give you one who doesn't hurt like the previous.It's no wonder that one can divorce more than 4 partners in their marriage life.

Let's purpose to look at the bigger picture not the titchy issues that will deny us a chance of getting the best out of every person and situation.

10 Imported Ideas That Have Failed in Africa

Image
For decades, African nations have adopted Western political systems, education models, economic structures, and social values, assuming these blueprints would produce similar success. But many of these systems, when transplanted directly into Africa, underperform—or worse, backfire. Why? Because successful systems are deeply rooted in context. Culture, history, geography, and worldview all matter. Importing ideas without adapting them to local realities is like planting foreign seeds in unfamiliar soil—they may sprout, but they rarely thrive. Let’s explore 10 key Western systems that often fail in Africa—and practical solutions to localize or reinvent them . 1. Western-Style Democracy and Political Systems Why It Fails: Western democracy assumes civic maturity, individual-based voting, strong institutions, and respect for law. But in many African nations: Politics is highly tribalized. Institutions are weak or politicized. Voting is emotional or ethnic, not ideological. Prop...

The Mustard Seed: Why You Should Never Despise Humble Beginnings

Image
“Though it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree…” — Matthew 13:32 ✨ The Power of a Tiny Start In a world obsessed with overnight success and viral fame, it’s easy to overlook the quiet, humble beginning — the mustard seed moment. The mustard seed is small, almost invisible when held in the palm. But its potential is enormous. Given the right environment, it grows into a tree large enough to shelter birds. That’s no accident. Nature teaches us something deeply spiritual and practical: what starts small doesn’t have to stay small . 🔍 Why We Despise Small Beginnings Let’s be honest — starting small feels… insignificant. It’s tempting to think: “I only have 3 clients.” “My blog only has 50 readers.” “My savings account is laughable.” “No one knows my name.” But we forget: giants are built, not born. Every oak tree was once an acorn. Every empire started with one bold idea. Every successful person had their Da...
