How much do you have saved up?

The title of this post is a rhetorical question. And no, I don't mean your earth account. I mean your heaven account. You see, people die daily.  We are humans, we all surely have an end. While on earth, we save a lot of money to acquire properties, take care of ourselves, our children, our parents, our siblings etc. But we've heard the popular saying that you never see a u-haule attached to a hearse. Nobody is going to take anything out of this world and when we do get to heaven, the only thing we would have to ourselves and name are the heavenly  investments we made while on earth. 

The holy book, the bible says that we should lay up treasures in heaven. Start saving in your heaven account today. The only chance is now. Help those who have no way of paying you back in return. Do a kind deed, make someone's life better by your words, deeds and resources and not only would you be making the world a better place, you would be having great rewards in your heaven account that would last you through eternity.  

Wishing you a peace filled July. ‎ ‎

City Girl in F.C.T

I had coined this name for myself a couple of months back. Cheesy yet cool. I like to pride myself in being a Lagos girl. I will shout it to the rooftop and tell it on the mountains. The best place to be in the world is Lagos, Nigeria. Maybe, someday, I will write about that. But today’s article is different. It's about my experience indeed as a Lagos Girl in the Federal Capital Territory of Nigeria. The F.C.T isn’t new to me. I had been here numerous times either for school, work, leisure, or vacation but a couple of weeks ago, a new reality dawned on me when for the first time in my existence I booked a one-way trip to Abuja. My flight tickets were always for round trips. Thankfully I had familiar faces to welcome me and friends’ kind enough to give me shelter and take me out to dinner.
