Dear reader , Welcome to my Sunday Tonic  whereby we commune through salient words of truth. Please enjoy. 1.You may not be the smartest person on earth but you got something the world needed to make it a better place for yourself, your generation,  generation yet unborn. 2. Nothing frustrates a man than living without purpose. It is worst than being insane. While a mad man is unaware of his state, a purposeless man thinks he is in charge. 3. Happiness is not a state, it is an habit, create it. 4. If you are only happy when you have money, then your opinion of life must be faulty. Nothing makes a man happy than finding and living in purpose. 5. Money is a defence just as wisdom is a defence, but purpose is an insurance against vanity. 6.

Perhaps, there is no time when our corporate existence as a nation is threatened like we face now. The indices of war and disintegration are very real and obvious, and except something is urgently done, we may as well wish Nigeria bye bye. Besides, the rising case of kidnapping in the Southwest, the pockets​ of sucide bombing by Boko Haram in the Northeast​,the continuous agitation by IPOB and MASSOB in the Southeast, the mounting cases of massacre by herdsmen from Northwest to Southwest not less the South South no doubt pose serious threat to our national unity and survival. As if this is not enough, the Arewa Youths Consultative Forum just issued a three month ultimatum to all Igbos residing in the North to pack all their bags and baggages and leave the North. The question is how do we get here, and what is the way forward? Beyond the fact that the foundation of our existence is faulty, the building blocks are equally of inferior qualities, and if no urgent surgic...
