O CHRIST, YOU ALONE REDEEMED ME By: Oluwajimi Thorpe



O Christ, you are so precious to me. 

You alone among celestial beings came to redeem me.

You alone among other celestial beings choose to die for me.

You alone humbled yourself to be born in a manger for my sake.

I betrayed you the day I welcomed you into Jerusalem, O Christ you knew that I was going to crucify you, and you celebrated your crucification with me.

You alone wore a crown of thorns that I kept on your head. 

You alone died for me and I being the crucifier.

You alone died for me on the cross.
 
O Christ, and your last words were,
"It is finished."

 You alone, on the third day rose again for my redemption.

YOU ALONE, YOU ALONE, YOU ALONE  REDEEMED ME.



Happy Easter, i pray the joy of celebration will never seize in our life as we celebrate the death and Resurrection of our lord Jesus Christ.

Dr. Adegboyega Akere of the Department of Medicine, University College Hospital, Ibadan, on Wednesday, advised women and caterers to desist from the practice. Akere, a Consultant Gastroenterologist, told the News Agency of Nigeria in Ibadan that food handlers should always use blender for ewedu and every other ingredient used in cooking it. “They should not use broom to mash the vegetable,” he said. Akere said this is because ewedu soup that is mashed with broomsticks could still retain splinters of the broom, however minute. He said that when eaten, the splinters from the broomsticks could get trapped inside the oesophagus or the intestine. Akere ...

Painful letters By: Marvee

Every time I feel this way This terrifying kind of pain These twitchy palms and muffled sobs These weakened sights and mindless slob I would think of something To put me at ease, anything At times, to leave my world And be someone else, not a dud Often times I would write on plain sheet Write till my limbs felt weak Write till the page is covered in ink Write till the painful times shift.                                              ©-Marvee
