Encounters and Takeaways Encounter! An unforeseen convergence! An unexpected coming together, for the individual parties involved it would indeed be unexpected, however the takeaway from an encounter and its effects always indicate an intention and reason for the encounter by a higher power...the God or spiritual supernatural factor. Moses encountered God in the burning bush....did he expect it? absolutely not! did God expected it? Yea! absolutely!! The takeaway from that encounter would change Moses' life forever...he asked for God's name.....[14] And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you. Exodus 3:14 KJV So Moses learnt this and many other things frm this one particular encounter, infact he was given a new direction to follow in his life.

Progress & inertia, So many Questions????? Progress, the onward movement, development into and transition to a better or more advanced and improved condition. Inertia, the tendency to do nothing or remain unchanged one could say it's laziness or even resistance to change. Progress versus inertia, many a time progress is registered in the face of serious inertia and circumstancial resistance be it individual, communal and global progress. Just how much progress is worth noting or even celebrating? I say all progress! Small victories add up and lead to great victories. Many times people quit and give up on their projects due to small or little progress in their endeavors. what they miss is that even though small, little progress is  much much better than inertia and day! The effort of baby steps adds up to great strides and leaps to great heights once only imagined. So the oil rich Nigeria moots setting up a  pencil manufacturing plant? Yes the wood, graphite and rubbe

We can learn all the versions of past happenings yet the fact remains - it is the wake! Another fact is that the wake cannot be undone no matter how painful the past injustices may feel to us and our forbearers who actually experienced them, yet we can fully and consciously determine the direction of ship Africa going forward!
