#THE_WOMAN_THAT_WAS_SENTENCED_TO_DEATH_BY_HANGING. For stabbing her husband to death while asleep.

Mrs. Maryan Sandra.

I don't know if I should call our government a #MURDER. Although we knows that its a crime to kill, but in case of this woman, why have the court decided to sentence her to death by hanging? The government commits worst crime on daily bases but non of them has been hung to death. Its just a family issues and should be dialogue amicably. Hanging her to death can't bring back the deceased, no gain, but only made her child an orphan. Who will now take care of the poor child since the government has taken away the life of her mum all in the name if law? I hope they will give the child the adequate care he deserves?
This nonsense law should be abolished in this country. It would have been better if they have sentenced her to life imprisonment. Nigerian is now always know as the most corrupt country in Africa. Its so unfair. May her soul rest in peace!

"TRAGEDY OF LIFE"

I remember this day 18 years ago January 27, 2002 Ikeja Cantonment bomb tragedy, which snuffed out lives from over 1,000 people, injured 5,000, left 12, 000 homeless and displaced about 20,000 ,the state have moved on as if nothing happened.. What a nation . If a prominent personality had died on that day, I am sure today would have been sacred and remembered officially.
May the Good Lord have mercy on us.

"Making Small Impacts that Could Yield Amazing Fruits!"

A True Life Story of Dr. Eugene A. Mbisike

This morning I had an interesting conversation with one of the ex-students I taught from SSGS (Surulere Girls Secondary School) Lagos, Nigeria, where I had a stint as a Biology/Science teacher after graduation from the University on Facebook Messenger.

Our conversation motivated my publication of this story. While praising her about the fact that many of her classmates are doing so well today, she quickly reminded me that the discipline I instilled in them and my dedication to duty contributed to their overall success story.

I was touched by her comments and began to reminiscent about my experience in that all girls school, which I have documented in my memoirs. Patiently Read on…

As a very young handsome graduate, fresh from the University and bubbling with so much energy, the challenges of being in the midst of teenage girls, with a few of them deliberately teasing and poking at you for you to notice them was no small jokel. I guess that if it wasn't for God's grace and my Christian background and discipline, maybe some of the girls who are now great achieving women in the society and some, who are even my friends on Facebook, might have started their own 'Me Too' campaign against me!

This is not to put myself out as a Saint because I am not one and no man is! But the truth is that the temptation was real.

The purpose of my story is to show how your determination to do the right thing in your sphere of influence could leave amazing positive imprints in the lives of a generation.

Are you a positive influencer in the young and vulnerable or a destroyer of the destinies of people whom you have been called to teach, train and impact positively?

As a newly posted teacher in that school, I was resuming at my duty post on time and, will also clock in the correct time I resumed in the staff attendance register. All though, my actions offended some of my colleagues who were habitual late comers, but would still sign in a different time in the register, I was not bothered by their silent hostility against me. Before long most of them started getting to school on time because they realized that if I got to school before them, I will sign in the correct time even if I was late. So if for example, I signed in by 8am, the rest of the staff coming after me will sign in 8.01.....then 8.02…. etc. They didn't like me at all for that but it turned around for good because many of them started coming early to school to ensure their names got in before mine.

Usually there was a staff roster for conducting morning assembly, which consisted of singing of hymns and prayers. The morning assembly was also meant for inspection, checking school uniforms to ensure they girls were clean; ensuring the girls had hair cut low or braided, short and clean fingernails, etc. Because many of the staff were always late to work, I took up the duty of daily conducting the morning assembly irrespective whose staff name was on the roster. In fact, staff members were too eager to let me do all the work! It was like who send you, lol. Well na me send myself for government work, our non-challant attitude to work as public servants in Nigeria!

When I noticed that many of the girls were not attending assembly because the staff members were not always there to do their jobs, I took up the challenge to enforce that they all make a habit of being at the Assembly. So those 'big' girls who usually defy the Assembly Prefect to stay back in their classrooms during assembly time became my target. To force them out out of the classrooms, I will go after them with a long cane and some of them will deliberately try to test me in a race; like 'oya come catch me if you can'. It wasn't long they began to comply as soon as they started receiving my lashes of cane on their backs while running after them. In no distant time, I transformed the morning assembly into a worship session. We will sing choruses, read the Bible and I will preach and pray with them. To me, I saw each morning assembly as an opportunity for the visitation of the Holy Spirit. So I always trusted God to give me the message to preach each day that will impact the lives of those girls.

I also started a Christian Fellowship once a week with a few of the girls. I became the unofficial counsellor to those of them who had all kinds of troubles at home.

Our fellowship became so strong and boom, there was a revival. We were gathered one very hot Wednesday afternoon in a rusty classroom praying when the unusual occurred. Suddenly, we had a Pentecost experience! The Holy Ghost manifested and all the girls began to wail and speak in tongues. I was stunned myself because it was so unexpected. The next Wednesday, many more girls gathered and the same thing happened. Our fellowship, led by one Miss Edith Adahor waxed stronger by the day.

Unknown to me, words had gone around in the neighbourhood of what was happening in the school. So one Wednesday afternoon while we were praying, the PTA chairman, one Alahaji came into the fellowship and disrupted our prayer meeting. He also threatened to deal with me, accusing me of converting Muslim students to Christianity which I was never aware of.

Also, what I didn't know was that the man had earlier written a false petition against me to the Lagos State Ministry of Educationl accusing me of forcibly converting Muslim students to Christianity. Even though, the school was situated in a predominantly Muslim neighborhood, I was never aware any Muslim girl got converted. Meanwhile, my principal didn't even inform me that there was a petition against me. She simply called me into her office and told me to disband the fellowship.

The next day I gathered the girls together and we prayed that God will take control and deliver us from the threats of the Alahaji. Surprisingly, God answered! The PTA chairman who threatened us and wiped some of the girls with a big stick in his rage died 3 days later. And after 2 weeks my Principal was transferred to another school.

A Christian Principal was brought in, and in fact, she took me into her office, brought out my file and showed me the petition that was sent to the Government against me by the former Principal and her collaborator, the PTA chairman.

With 100% support from the new principal, things suddenly changed in that school. One remarkable thing happened, which I can never forget. We had finished our final exams and I was busy marking my scripts in my small office inside the Biology lab when a student rushed in and told me that girls were falling down. I can't remember if it was then miss Bola, now a Pastor in the UK who rushed in to call me. I went out to the hall to observe that Edith and some of the girls were having a fellowship when the Holy Spirit visited again and many girls were slain in the spirit. There was panic everywhere and many demonic manifestation was taking place. It was like a crusade experience!

The lasting effect of the revival that happened in that school was that the lives of many of those girls were totally transformed and today many of them are standing tall as achievers in different spheres of life!

Academically, SSGS-a public secondary school in Lagos State was totally transformed in learning and character. We became the toast of parents, who couldn't pay exorbitant school fees in private colleges. And for the first time, our school came out tops in WAEC examination amongst all the public schools in Lagos State.

The record is there to show and many of my old students are my Facebook friends who will be reading  this story.
