Sometimes you really want to give a deaf ear on what’s happening around you but the sound is too loud and you are left with no option but to listen. Kidnapping is real and it’s so scary. You read or watch a story of someone that has been kidnapped and you do not know the person but you are deeply touched by the family’s grievances, now just imagine you know the victim! It is such a pain. The kidnaps have become so rampant and they are so worrying and I am really concerned. We are not safe! They are very many questions I would want answers to but I still don’t know if this would solve the problem. “Why are people being kidnapped?” “who is behind these rampant kidnaps?” what do they want in return?” who are they targeting?” so many questions I could go on and on.
Forget the hogwash of the people faking their own kidnaps to take advantage of their people and the situation. They are so annoying. How do you even dare joke that way when the state is in panic mode?
It’s almost predictable that when your loved one is kidnapped, you will get a dead body in return even if a ransom is paid. This is so painful. It makes my heart bleed and this has to stop! Fellow country men and women, lets join hands and fight this imp.
We need to pray. Prayer is the strongest weapon we have and if we commit to it , it yields results. Let’s join hands and pray for our country, our families, our friends and our leaders. Let’s soak our children in the blood of Jesus for no one can touch our kids if they are covered by the precious blood of Jesus
Let’s mind the people that visit our home and those that we care to share the nitty gritties of our lives with. Some of these people could be the traitors but still come to us inform of friends or relatives. I know some of these people are really hard to avoid but let’s watch them closely for anything suspicious. Imagine you get issues with the plumbing work in your bathroom and you need a plumber to fix it as soon as possible so you invite the plumber to your bathroom which is in the bedroom, this alone has exposed to this person. You couldn’t avoid it but again you don’t know him that much. He could have done the plumbing work when you were constructing the house but now its home, he may get other ideas.
Let’s all be our brothers’ keepers and keep alert. Don’t see something suspicious around your neighborhood and you keep quiet. Tell someone, report to police, do something! If you don’t, and it turns out it was a kidnap, you are as good as the kidnapper. The world may not know but the guilt will kill you.
If anyone stalks you knowingly or unknowingly, please report to police. We should also report people we suspect to be stalking us. Kidnapping has to be written off
Let’s create good working relations with the people we entrust our homes and children with. They spend most of the time with our children and sometimes how we treat them determines how they treat our children. They could contribute to the rampant kidnaps or save our kids from these kidnaps
we need to tell our children about the kidnaps. they need to have this information and also stay alert and also be responsible for themselves
Let’s do our part and the rest we leave to God but remember God helps those who help themselves
Finally, let’s embrace the use of pepper spray and let’s use it for the right purpose to fight this imp called kidnap
Like any uphill task say school, work, we all look forward to the end. It’s not because one has not enjoyed it; far from it. It is the pains especially when you have been stretched beyond what your mind limitations can bear. If I said I had never thought about quitting, then the truth is not in me. If I were to draw a curve, it shoots up with excitement and challenge and one’s mind telling them “I can do this”, then mid-way your mind asks “can you really do this?” the curve starts to drop till it’s a barely straight jagged line, then two more steps and your mind is convinced you are suffering and at this time it says “you can’t do this” and the curve starts to head downwards ….Lord help you so that it does not hit the X – axis through to oblivion… minus minus.
It is not just said, It is written “Train up a child in the way that he should go, And when he is old he will not depart from it” Prov 22:6. Back in the day, we grew up as ‘community children’ meaning the whole village had responsibility over you. The neighbours had the authourity to literally use the rod of correction on you, rebuke you, pull your ears if need arose ….. and we revered them for it. From the moment you were born, you were a child of the village and for the village to raise. Times have since changed a lot!
There is a saying in my tribe “Akyogera yakyileta” loosely translated ‘the one who speaks about it, is the one who triggers it.’ 
Every now and then every one of us could actually do with a little motivation, a little push, a little encouragement…. a little something to redirect our energies, help us refocus, and or put us back into perspective. And it is a good thing. Every time one am in a workshop, training, talk of sorts, I believe there is always something to take home – ‘Take away’ and implement. It would be odd for everyone to have the same take home; but at least there would be something worth implementing for the better of oneself, business or organization.
A new Beginning
