The Reorientators

  REPORIENTATION   Seasons Seconds roll into minute, minutes to hour, hours to day, days to week, weeks to month, months to year, years to decade and on and on and on. As the time ticks, seasons come and seasons go. There are different seasons in life. The hot season when there is no comfort, no peace, no assurance of hope, no stability.

REPORIENTATION     THE WORK OF THY HAND “That's the point of working with one's hands, you see. It gives the mind something else to do besides worry.” ― Charles Todd, A Duty to the Dead Two important factors determine the growth and development of any nation. Her level of educated individuals and the number of productive laborers (skilled and unskilled) that such a nation possesses.  Diving into the giant of Africa, one can easily discover the high level of educated individuals every year but then, one will be amazed at the level of underdevelopment and poverty in the country. Nigeria is a rich fertile land blessed by God with abundant mineral resources and her people with the technical know-how to tap it. Yet her Leaders left it untouched waiting for the Messiah to come to help them tap it. It has gotten to the point where as a nation we need to start looking inward and retrace our steps to days when we truly earn the name Giant of Africa . When we were known for our large exp
