DANGERS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Brethren, penultimate Monday, December 16 to be precise, one of my closest neighbours where I reside instinctively understood I wanted to be alone having hurriedly observed the ugly look on my beautiful face. Frankly at that very moment, I needed to be left alone because my sense of reasoning was beclouded by most inhumane acts I witness on a daily basis across the globe, Nigeria in particular. How can we be made of human ribs, still we act like “animals”?
Take note; there are three very important words in life which are, love, honesty and respect. Without these in your life, you have nothing. I keep reminding us that, there’re no two definitions of “love”. Love remains love in any dictionary or holy writ. Honesty simply means “truth”. Finally, it’s only when you have faith in someone or something that you would live to respect him/it.
Human means relating to or concerning people or mankind. While traffic, according to the context of this edition, is the act of trading in something illegally. Summarily, human trafficking is the act of trading in humans illegally. That is, illegal trading in humans.
Over the years, millions of people across the globe live by indulging in this dirty and inhuman act due to the “enormous benefit” attached to it. Recently my major concern lies on that of the Nigerian society which has become more alarming compare to any other part of the world. Record has it that, out of a hundred human traffic offences in the whole world, Nigeria or Nigerians is/are involved in sixty of them. We’ve really overstepped the limits. Let’s ride on!
On the above note, parents should apply caution as regards whom they lease their children to. In most occasions, out of vulnerability, parents lease their children to someone who they hardly know his/her background. Even if the person in question is your relative, you still need to ascertain the kind of business he/she does, and most importantly, his/her social background. Don’t let vulnerability overcome your sense of reasoning.
Secondly, the civil rights societies and activists ought to form a syndicate towards conscientizing the minds of the vulnerable parents on the dangers that await the lease of their children to others. They should from time to time organize seminars to sensitize their minds in that regard. They are also expected to use the medium to enlighten them on the essence of education in any child’s life. Furthermore, the concerned non-governmental organizations should from time to time endeavour to grant scholarship to the less-privileged children, and as well establish various vocational centres for those whom had completed their secondary education.
Thirdly, the custom officers must ensure that our borders are strengthened and made substantially formidable. This measure would help to silence the high level of illegal emigration experienced often thereby discouraging most of the human traffickers.
Lastly but not the least, our law makers should enact a strict law prohibiting human trafficking thereby enabling the judiciary to issue capital punishment to anyone found guilty of such dastardly and inhumane act. In this regard, an independent commission (agency) is expected to be inauguration by the federal government to super head and monitor the strict implementation of the said law.
Above all, those responsible for such loathsome attribute should as a matter of urgency turn a new leaf by acknowledging that, it’s an evil occupation that has the tendency of clearing (consuming) their entire generations. How can you be abusing a child willingly given to you to take care of; how can you be enriching yourself at the expense of others’ happiness; have you ever tried to put yourself in the shoes of the affected people, or have you for once find yourself in a severe moment of sincere meditation?
Let’s love ourselves, be honest to anyone we come across, and above all, always remember that respect is reciprocal. Mind you, we make a living by what we get but we make a life by what we give. Think about it!

Eclipse of the Hypocrites
UNAVOIDABLE ECLIPSE OF THE HYPOCRITES
Brethren, most times their insincerity and insensitivity make my heart my heart shed fathomless blood; it often keeps my mind in skeptical mood thereby making my lonely soul vulnerable. Honestly they’re dampening my humble spirit. Suffice to say that, they’ve all tried my patience both in the past and present which had brought unquantifiable loopholes to my ebullient person. Lately I’ve come to realize that, they have made themselves kings without taking into consideration who remains the ultimate king.
Apparently, they’ve forgotten the prime essence of their individual existences which has made me to lose my patience. Frankly, I’ve lost it (patience) totally and that’s why I seized this medium to address the anomaly and as well tell them the gospel truth. I can’t remain an onlooker to such acts because I’m not impervious to them. Personally they affect me negatively and deeply. And I’m quite sure no one expects me to be imperturbable over such inhumane attributes.
One thing you must get into your thick and indefatigable skull is that, no one gives what he doesn’t possess regardless of his/her status. In any occasion it seemed you’ve succeeded in granting what you don’t have, then behold, you must be watchful and extremely prepared towards the period of eclipse that awaits your person. Let’s get to the business of the day.
A hypocrite is one who pretends to have beliefs, principles, or feelings that they do not really have. On the other hand according to the context of this edition, an eclipse is a situation whereby someone/something loses some or all of their importance or influence. In the same vein, according to Oxford Mobile Dictionary, “an eclipse is a sudden loss of significance or power.”
Presently many has derailed intensely as regards presentation of fake, or deceit as the case may be. In a concise term, hypocrisy is simply the act of disclosing a fake posture. And such manner of act is found in every sector of human endeavours such as polity, health, religion, economy, just to mention but a few. Let’s ride on!
In the political sector, hypocrisy has become the order of the day. In most occasions we see people aspiring for respective positions, claiming to do one thing or the other when they get to power without their followers (supporters) knowing that they are all interested in their personal businesses; their only goal is enrichment of their individual pockets. We’ve been deceived both in the past and present by this aspect of hypocrisy. There are so many other branches of hypocrisy in the political arena; for instance, a sycophant whom is known as one who chant eulogies for his superior in order to gain favour, is simply a hypocrite.
Let’s dive into the health aspect of hypocrisy. This aspect is found virtually in every individual. In most occasions we pose as one suffering from a certain ailment in order to be exonerated from a certain crime committed. On the other hand, most times we present ourselves as persons that are physically or medically fit while we’re not, just to be among a proposed exercise that would “favour” us. The devastating aspect of health hypocrisy is that, several persons have taken it as a way of life forgetting that an unavoidable eclipse awaits them.
Inter alia, the astonishing aspect of hypocrisy is observed in the religious sector. Taking the Christian community as a case study we would discover that many have chosen to be addressed as “men of God” in order to gain dominion, and to cater for themselves. It doesn’t even stop at that; they go a long distance allegedly impregnating the wives of their so-called followers and committing all other sorts of atrocities in a place meant to be kept sacred.
I want to sincerely assure all those who live by dishing out one fake life or the other that, an unavoidable eclipse will befall them soonest if they fail to turn a new leaf. I’m earnestly warning them to desist from such dastardly and barbaric act because the eclipse in question is definitely unavoidable irrespective of the umbrella they might be hiding under.
Brethren let me quickly remind you of something very vital; efficiency without God’s sufficiency is simply a pathway to the scene of deficiency. Mind you, I wouldn’t like to repeat myself because I’m strongly of the view that, a word is enough for the wise. Think about it!
