God’s
Visit to Nigeria
By Godspower Oboido
Since the story of Adam and
Eve man believes that God has never visited any other people or
place again, but they are wrong. God saw how the earth was in
sin then H e sent His only begotten and lovely son Jesus
Christ to die for man's sins and Jesus obediently
did.
After Nigeria's
independence, some good-headed leaders ruled the nation and they
did it well. As a result every Nigerian was happy. That really
pleased God and man (Nigerian citizens). But there
came a time when some bad heads came into power and ruled
the nation ruthlessly. They misused the resources and turned the
economy the other way, every citizens of the nation started
noticing suffering and some even starving due to poor
leadership.
Nigeria lost her pride and
Nigerians started asking if the Almighty was watching the evil
video of the politics in Nigeria. It remained so till date and
some thought God had turned His face away from us.
Because of the way things
are in the politics of Nigeria and the economy, many predicted
that the future will be even harder for the coming generation.
But the Almighty said it would not be so after seeing how things
are in the country.
Well, God himself
visited Nigeria instead of sending His Son Jesus for the second
time to earth. I know many are surprised because they are
unaware when God came. But it happened.
The visit of Queen
Elizabeth, George Bush, Tony Blair, and other prominent people
brought some development to the nation. But the greatest
happening was God’s Visit to Nigeria—it will
bring and has brought a lot of changes in the system in general,
the politics, the economy, and lot more.
God visited Nigeria
spiritually. He didn’t come to earth. We still await his
physical arrival.
When it happens, everything will change—a new president will
come that will rule the nation well. God’s Visit to
Nigeria will be a universal one, not only in Nigeria
history but also for world history.

I was born to Mr and Mrs Oboido from Delta
State in Nigeria. I have three brothers and an elder sister. I
have finished my primary and secondary education in Nigeria and
looking forward to the university education. I wish to study
abroad. I was supposed to go for an engineering course in school
but I found out that writing was an inborn thing that I can do
very well, though I’m still going for engineering.
I have lots of writings to sell abroad and
even painting works, sort of international and universal stuff.
I currently work as a book messenger in a bookshop close to my
house and as such I get informed in all areas. The family I come
from is a gifted family. My immediate elder brother is a
skillful footballer but unknown yet. Dad was an architect though
aged and mum is late. The rest of my brothers ate striving for
their education. My most eldest sister is a teacher.
By God’s grace I look forward to publish my
novel this year. |

Super Rich: A Guide to Having it All
By Russell Simmons
Russell Simmons knows firsthand that
wealth is rooted in much more than the
stock
market. True wealth has more to do with
what's in your heart than what's in your
wallet. Using this knowledge, Simmons
became one of America's shrewdest
entrepreneurs, achieving a level of
success that most investors only dream
about. No matter how much material gain
he accumulated, he never stopped lending
a hand to those less fortunate. In
Super Rich, Simmons uses his rare
blend of spiritual savvy and
street-smart wisdom to offer a new
definition of wealth-and share timeless
principles for developing an unshakable
sense of self that can weather any
financial storm. As Simmons says, "Happy
can make you money, but money can't make
you happy." |

The New Jim Crow
Mass Incarceration in the Age of
Colorblindness
By Michele Alexander
Contrary to the
rosy picture of race embodied in Barack
Obama's political success and Oprah
Winfrey's financial success, legal
scholar Alexander argues vigorously and
persuasively that [w]e have not ended
racial caste in America; we have merely
redesigned it. Jim Crow and legal racial
segregation has been replaced by mass
incarceration as a system of social
control (More African Americans are
under correctional control today... than
were enslaved in 1850). Alexander
reviews American racial history from the
colonies to the Clinton administration,
delineating its transformation into the
war on drugs. She offers an acute
analysis of the effect of this mass
incarceration upon former inmates who
will be discriminated against, legally,
for the rest of their lives, denied
employment, housing, education, and
public benefits. Most provocatively, she
reveals how both the move toward
colorblindness and affirmative action
may blur our vision of injustice: most
Americans know and don't know the truth
about mass incarceration—but her
carefully researched, deeply engaging,
and thoroughly readable book should
change that.—Publishers
