Brain Pricing

In the hospital the relatives gathered in the waiting room, where their family member lay gravely ill.
Finally, the doctor came in looking tired and somber.
"I'm afraid I'm the bearer of bad news," he said as he surveyed the worried faces.
"The only hope left for your loved one at this time is a brain transplant.
It's an experimental procedure, very risky but it is the only hope.
Insurance will cover the procedure, but you will have to pay for the
brain yourselves."
The family members sat silently as they absorbed
the news. After a great length of time, someone
asked, "Well, how much does a brain cost?"
The doctor quickly responded, " R5,000 for
a male brain, and R200 for a female brain."
The moment turned awkward. Men in the room tried not to smile, avoiding
eye contact with the women, but some actually smirked. A man unable to
control his curiosity, blurted out the question
everyone wanted to ask,
"Why is the male brain so much more?"
The doctor smiled at the childish innocence
and explained to the entire group, "It's just standard pricing
procedure. We have to mark down the price of the female brains, because
they've actually been used, the male brains are hardly ever used by the
owners. so they are as good as new"

THE ACADEMIC gOD 1

theacademicgod@yahoo.com

A certain rich man once lived in the East with his family. He lost his life on his way back from one of his usual business trips…what a colossal loss!

Not too long after, all the wealth and glamour his immediate family once knew fizzled out –his wife never worked. The penury was as intense as the wealth they once enjoyed, even much more.

Bills piled up. Debts heaped. Hunger plagued. Diseases ravaged. And one after the other, the three children dropped dead: The woman was too poor to settle their hospital bills. She was herself sick to the point of death but she couldn’t afford to get a proper medical attention. So, she remained in their grand, but once glamorous house, waiting for death.

Her lawyer brother, who had been oblivious of her misfortune, came visiting one day. While they talked, he observed that some striking framed papers hung all around the living room. He took a closer look, only to receive the shock of his life. “…These are share certificates of choice multinationals in the country!” he managed to exclaim at last.

The illiterate woman had taken them for mere wall decorations. She did not know her husband –before his demise- had made investments that would suffice for their standard of living even if she never worked all her life. But due to her ignorance, they lived in penury amidst plenty.

Aren’t you another ignoramus?
Before Jesus died, He bought us shares so that we never have to lack a thing. He got us equity in the ‘Bank of Health’ so that we might dwell in health. He even went as far as making us decision makers in the ‘Prosperity Incorporated’ so that our souls prosper. So much more, He got us shares in the ‘Success Holdings’ that we might be the head and not the tail. So, be it the business, the profession, or in the academic sphere, you are not to fail –as long as you dwell in the house, named salvation.

Academic success is your heritage. You call the shot in the company it is produced. You are not to beg for it or slave for it; you are to work it into being.

There is no way you can be what you don’t know you are. You can never be a success when you don’t know you are one. You are not trying to be a success you are a success. He said, “I have said,“ Ye are [academic] gods…”” Let it settle in your mind because until you are in the heart, you can’t be on the earth…

THE APPLE OF MY EYE

THE APPLE OF MY EYE

Gorgeously wrapped in the white lining as the angels
Pierced by a large ebony adorning circle
Edged above and beneath by sulcus flesh as the Queen
You glow in the morning like the eastern sun
And close up in the night as a crying baby his mouth.

You are the dearest to me of all of me
That with all dexterity I protect you
Not even any other part of me can reach you
I clothe you up in a twinkle of yourself
The huge arms of my lids hugging you tightly.

The most costly soaps can’t clean you
Even its fragrance doesn’t move you
With my tears only do you bathe up yourself
You are refreshed in the fruit of my sorrow
You feel me just like me.

Still will I keep you
Still will I admire you
Still will I protect you
Still will I cry for you
Still will you be the apple of my eye.

TRUE BEAUTY

TRUE BEAUTY

Beauty is not how you dress
But what dresses the heart

Beauty is not good looks
It is good thoughts

Beauty is not a spotless face
It is a blameless heart

Beauty is not make-up
But the make-up of the heart

Beauty is not what you do
It is why you do them

Beauty is not fluency
Beauty is transparency

Beauty is not appearance
Beauty is character
The character of the heart

Only the Porter really knows
Just how beautiful the clay is

Man looks outwards
But God looks inwards

So true beauty is not what man sees
But what God sees…the state of the heart.

The Academic god- BOOK REVIEW

BOOK REVIEW

Title: The Academic god

Author: Adeyemi Adeleye

Publisher: S.O.S. Publications, Lagos

Foreword: Joe-Jesmiel Ogbe

No of Pages: 96

Review: Seun Alade

A first look at the title of the book may give you an impression that here comes another blasphemous book probably to tell us of a god that controls the academic world, but a journey through this God-inspired book will make you dispel such a thought within seconds.
A book written out of a clear understanding and revelation of Psalm 82:6 that “ye are gods” as not only a reference of your ‘godship’ to Pharaoh or problems as Moses was, but that you are also an ‘academic god’, i.e., a god over academics.

Though a debut, the author was able to talk extensively on the topic of academics as it affects the children of God with such dexterity a John Maxwell will handle leadership or a Robert Kiyosaki will handle finance.

A first-class graduate of the Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife where he graduated as the overall best graduating student in both his department (Microbiology) and the faculty of Science and a teacher of the word in the Redeemed Christian Fellowship, OAU, Adeyemi Adeleye was able to share a lot of the insights he has that made him the winner of the Young Disciples International’s Academic Excellence Award four consecutive times while in school.

This six-chapter book takes you on a journey through a sphere, the academic, where believers are yet to experience their God-given unquestionable enthronement while also equipping them with the wherewithal to ascend their rightful throne in their academics.

While Chapter One tells you the ‘truth’ as God promises, Chapter Two helps you discover and dispel the dullard mentality which may be the reason why many are performing below God’s expectation. The third Chapter takes you to the mirror to ask yourself, ‘who are you?’ This is because until you discover yourself you cannot recover (from your failures). Chapter Four takes you on a ‘mission with a vision’ while ‘on the mission’ in Chapter Five, the author makes you aware of how to run the race and the last chapter, six tells you ‘the place of God’ in your academics.

A fast page-turner undoubtedly, it is an illumination on the area of academics, a journey

to self-realization and dream-actualization sure to be a lovely companion for anyone desirous of

the much needed positive change in the academic sphere.

Fully loaded with experience of great men like Albert Einstein, Ben Carson, and the author’s, and well juxtaposed with the word of God, the book is a best-seller.

11 LOVE Lessons

1.To My Friends Who Are...........SINGLE...Love is like a butterfly . The more you chase it, the more it eludes you. But if you just let it fly, it will come to you when you least expect it. Love can make you happy but often it hurts, but love's only special when you give it to someone who is really worth it. So take your time and choose the best.


2.To My Friends Who Are............NOT SO SINGLE...Love isn't about becoming somebody else's "perfect person." It's about finding someone who helps you become the best person you can be.


3.To My Friends Who Are............PLAYBOY/GIRL TYPE...Never say "I love you" if you don't care. Never talk about feelings if they aren't there. Never touch a life if you mean to break a heart. Never look in the eye when all you do is lie. The cruelest thing a guy can do to a girl is to let her fall in love when he doesn't intend to catch her fall and it works both ways...


4.To My Friends Who Are............MARRIED...Love is not about "it's your fault", but "I'm sorry." Not "where are you", but "I'm right here." Not "how could you", but "I understand." Not "I wish you were", but "I'm thankful you are."


5.To My Friends Who Are............ENGAGED...The true measure of compatibility is not the years spent together but how good you are for each other.


6.To My Friends Who Are............HEARTBROKEN...Heartbreaks last as long as you want and cut as deep as you allow them to go. The challenge is not how to survive> heartbreaks but to learn from them.


7.To My Friends Who Are............NAIVE...How to be in love: Fall but don't stumble, be consistent but not too persistent, share and never be unfair, understand and try not to demand, and get hurt but never keep the pain.


8.To My Friends Who Are............POSSESSIVE...It breaks your heart to see the one you love happy with someone else but it's more painful to know that the one you love is unhappy with you.


9.To My Friends Who Are............AFRAID TO CONFESS...Love hurts when you break up with someone. It hurts even more when someone breaks up with you. But love hurts the most when the person you love has no idea how you feel.


10.To My Friends Who Are............STILL HOLDING ON...A sad thing about life is when you meet someone and fall in love, only to find out in the end that it was never meant to be and that you have wasted years on someone who wasn't worth it. If he isn't worth it now he's not going to be worth it a year or 10 years fromnow. Let go.....


11.TO ALL MY FRIENDS.......My wish for you is a man/women whose love is honest, strong, mature, never-changing, uplifting, protective, encouraging, rewarding and unselfish.

This is one side of me only people really close to me know...i love football. Besides being a licensed football referee, i'm a die-hard fan of Arsenal FC of England. I joined the ever-growing fans of the North London team about 4 years ago and since then, no turning back.
Arsene Wenger is still our greatest asset at the Emirate.
I admire Henry a lot and i also respect Lehnmann.
I've come to appreciate the contribution of Van Persie, Ebuoe and Rosicky of recent.

The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.

The Origin of MEGASTER!

The name was got in my secondary school, FGC Idoani, within the first week of admission!
Just before i resumed, my hostel had experienced some domestic criminal activities so everybody was at red-alert.
I met this guy in the room whose bunk was next to the door and was surprised to see someone sleeping with a torch and a stick (more like a club) kept beside him. On being probed he said he was guarding against robbery and i quickly called him "Meguard" (a local name for a night guard). Not caring to know his real name i continued to refer to him as Meguard days after. Also, not knowing my name, he and other room mates turned the table round and started calling me Meguard which was always on my lips.
With time, evolution set in and Meguard metamorphosized to Mega and then i adopted MEGASTER which means a public entertainer. Or, i'm i not one?
Now u know it, keep your lips sealeddddddddd!!!!!!!!Its only for my blog visitors.

Who I'm I

Science is all about seeking knowledge, trying to explain all natural occurences with known principles.
But inasmuch as men are discovering places, things, knowledges, resources, new planets et al, there remain still the most important thing to be discovered! That's man himself. Do you know as much about youself compared to the course you study? Do you know more about yourself than u know history? Business? The Bible? Biographies?
The greatest discovery a man can make is to know himself.
Hey! Just before you go explore the next on your list of adventure, seek answers to this question you direct to yourself: WHO I"M I?
