[Daily Trust] I was at the departure hall of the Chief Margaret Ekpo International Airport in Calabar. My flight to Abuja had been delayed for about two hours, no big deal. I had time then to begin to write this article. A great opportunity I would say. I had arrived at the check-in counter and was promptly attended to, not many passengers today. I wanted to move to the departure lounge but I was asked by the ground handling guy to follow him. He had my suitcase and that of a white lady, a fellow passenger.

South Africa: The Fight for Land Is a Fight for Cattle

[The Journalist] In E.W.M. Mesatywa's book titled Izaci namaqhalo esiXhosa (Xhosa idioms and proverbs) published in 1971, he records a list of proverbs. Of all the amaqhalo (proverbs) recorded, 31% relate to cattle. The book is the most comprehensive regarding Xhosa idioms and proverbs and it's clear that a strong relationship between cattle and amaXhosa dominates, leading me to dig deep into the relationship between cattle and amaXhosa. via LATEST NEWS

Seeds Of Destiny Devotional – Existing As A Blessing

Topic: Existing As A Blessing [Seeds of Destiny 3 November 2019 Devotional] God does not bless containers, He blesses channels; any water that does not flow must stink. SCRIPTURE:  I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great, and thou shall be a blessing. –  Genesis 12: 2 THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:  God does not bless containers; He blesses channels; any water that does not flow must stink. The Blessing of God is behind the making of notable men and women, both in scriptural and contemporary times. Blessed people are eminent and prominent people in their generation. But it is one thing to be blessed, and another thing to become a blessing. Being blessed is not enough, becoming a channel of blessing to others is far more important.

It is a life that adds value to other people’s lives. It ...

Topic: Miracles Still For Today [DCLM Daily Manna 3 November 2019 Daily Devotional By Pastor William Folorunso Kumuyi] Text:  Acts 9:32-43 (KJV) Key Verse:  “But Peter put them all forth, and kneeled down, and prayed; and turning him to the body said, Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes: and when she saw Peter, she sat up” –  (Acts 9:40). MESSAGE: The story was told of a pastor that came from an all-night prayer vigil to meet his wife crying. Their first son was dead. He comforted her and laid the son on his bed and encouraged her to go to the Sunday service. After preaching and counselling, they both came home to meet neighbours gathered at their front gate. The neighbours accused them of not being considerate as the boy had been crying for the mother. God still raises the dead today! Aeneas of Lydda was hopelessly infirm for eight years. Peter declared unto him, “Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed”. Immediately, he arose and the p...
