Bandage of Grief
Once a saint saw a man with a bandage tied round his head. “Why have you tied the bandage?” he asked. “Because my head aches,” the man replied. “How old are you?” he demanded. “Thirty,” he replied. “Have you been in pain and anguish the greater part of your life?” he enquired. “No,” the man answered. “For thirty years you have enjoyed good health,” he remarked, “and you never tied the bandage of thankfulness. Now because of this one night head ache, that you have, you tie the bandage of complaint!”

Never judge the content of the Tommy by its mere look
A lady in a faded gingham dress and her husband, dressed in a homespun threadbare suit, stepped off the train in Boston and walk timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President’s outer office.
The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods, country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably didn’t even deserve to be in Cambridge.
“We want to see the president,” the man said softly.
“He’ll be busy all day,” the secretary snapped.
“We’ll wait,” the lady replied.
For hours the secretary ignored them, hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They didn’t and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president, even though it was a chore she always regretted.
“Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they’ll leave,” she said to him.
He sighed in exasperation and nodded. Someone of his importance obviously didn’t have the time to spend with them, but he detested gingham dresses and homespun suits cluttering up his outer office.
The president, stern faced and with dignity, strutted toward the couple.
The lady told him, “We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago, he was accidentally killed. My husband and I would like to erect a memorial to him, somewhere on campus.”
The president wasn’t touched.... He was shocked.
“Madam,” he said, gruffly, “we can’t put up a statue for every person who attended Harvard and died. If we did, this place would look like a cemetery.”
“Oh, no,” the lady explained quickly. “We don’t want to erect a statue. We thought we would like to give a building to Harvard.”
The president rolled his eyes. He glanced at the gingham dress and homespun suit, and then exclaimed, “A building! Do you have any earthly idea how much a building costs? We have over seven and a half million dollars in the physical buildings here at Harvard.”
For a moment the lady was silent.
The president was pleased. Maybe he could get rid of them now.
The lady turned to her husband and said quietly, “Is that all it costs to start a university? Why don’t we just start our own?” Her husband nodded.
The president’s face wilted in confusion and bewilderment. Mr. and Mrs. Leland Stanford got up and walked away, traveling to Palo Alto, California where they established the University that bears their name, Stanford University, a memorial to a son that Harvard no longer cared about.
You can easily judge the character of others by how they treat those who they think can do nothing.

FOSU NEWS
FOSU PALAVER
The ongoing uproar by some wings of individuals due to the "Due or no due saga" this issue is a boiling issue which needs to be attended to with immediate effect.
On 30th of December, 2018, the constitution of Federation of Oke Ila Students Union was hurriedly posted on the aforementioned association's whatsap group page in order to clear the air on the legality of the alleged annual due payment.
However, the constitution of the association succinctly states that every members shall be liable to pay their annual dues , the abstainance to pay such would attract the copra penalty of suspension from the association and the victim shall be disenfranchised.
Nevertheless, by implication, the part of this constitution that adumbrates the obligatory duty of every member to the association , state vividly the exception to such part of the section . this lucidly highlights that members who don't pay their due for two consecutive years shall not be eligible to vote and to be voted for. By implications, in the cause of implementing this part of the constitution, the right of the new members of the association was consciously infringed upon. Some people were just admitted this year ,which means they are one year old in the association and by the interpretation of that section, they are eligible to vote because if they would be owning , they will only be owning for this year annual due,therefore, they are eligible to vote as clearly stated in the constitution. Hence, the right of new members has been carefully breached because they have this year annual due only to be paid.
Inaddition , I was newsed that the election has been sifted to 2rd of January, 2019. I appeal that the necessary amendment should be done in order not to deny the right of the new members further.
Moreover, there is this hot air virally spreading like wild fire concerning my personality which is in question.
I need to attend to this issue with an impelling alacrity because a lot of people has been playing on my integrity. I need to narrate this saga of my activism on 30th of January, 2018 during the Fosu election.
Some people has been summoning me and some have confronted me,expressing their disappointment in me because I was asking question from the gang of Fosu executive leaders which was termed by some as being "shouting".
The election and manifesto which was scheduled to kick off by 12 and 2 , but I was busy to go to the manifesto, consequently, I told those who has been coming to me for my vote, I told them all that " without knowing your plans/agenda, I can't got for you, even if it is my sibling that is campaigning and have no fervid plans for Oke Ila orangun Fosu ,I won't vote for him/her" That is, since I was late to the polling unit(I got there around 5pm) and told people coming to me for my vote, I told them i wasn't there to vote because I didn't know what they have in pot for us. I want good leaders with futuristic vision. And that is my stand.
When I got there yesterday, I asked " what do the constitution says; does it say without due there is no vote?" I asked . and one of them says it was convention that says that ,which I further queried " when was the Congress that sat to make such law was called" and one of them rejoined me that It was our duty to be conversant with activities of the association and not anybody . I inquisitively asked further " where do you want us to get such information because if not a day to the election I was not informed that any due would be paid ,that is some of us our ears are deaf to the activities of the association" I added " what is the work of the P
R.O?" These are the questions I asked which they tagged as being "shouting" I proceeded by making a claim " we are in the Democratic society, everybody must be carried along and not that one section of the executive would be imposing their wills on the majority. is not done! majority must have the say in democratic society" these are my points yesterday which they

Christianity and the End Time
WHEN THINGS GO WRONG!
I think one of the major problems of the world is the problem of leadership.
Now, the house of God has become place where we can do whatever pleases us. No reverence to the name of God, we behave the way we want because those who are in the best position to caution are dumbfounded by willful endearment and because they don't want members to get annoyed. Ha! It is better they get annoyed than to leave your heaven-born mandate. The way things are going in Christiandom, if cares are not taken, church would become a party occasion where people will go for mere entertainment rather than for spiritual upliftment.
With the way things are going, the time is near, the Messiah will soon come. No wonder the scripture says , the judgement shall begin with the household of faith.
In fact, I'm pleading with our spiritual leaders to please say the truth though the heavens fall, than to keep silence in the name that "we have being telling them" and allow things to crumble beyond repair. We are not just "Pastor" for title sake, it is a name with responsibilities. This name implies that you have the sheep entrusted in your care which needs to be nurture and nurse with words of truth. The scripture is for reproof, rebuke, correction so that the man of righteousness can be for the purpose of God and God alone . Every sheep under us, we are under obligations to account for them on the judgement day. Let us correct with love where necessary , don't let us cap our heads with "I don't care" attitude. When things go wrong, the Lord has called us to His palace to right the wrong. Why keep silence when millions perish ignorantly.
I pray God will help His church and revive us anew.
HAPPY NEW
