Stability matters. It matters for our economy, our communities, our standing in the world, and the ordinary people who simply want to wake up tomorrow knowing that someone competent and principled is steering this ship. Constant change at the top is not strength. It is a symptom of something much deeper that we need to address.
Hello from 2026
2026 promises to be great year! It’s been since Easter 2025 that I last wrote here! Time moves differently when you’re living it rather than documenting it. Here we are, well the second month of a new year, and the world keeps turning with all its chaos and wonder intact. I’m back at university pursuing a research degree, juggling several projects that demand everything I have to give. Last…
A Touch of Redemption
Jesus is Alive! Last Thursday, I went for a routine blood test, which has always been challenging due to my very small veins. I was directed from one department to another until finally reaching the blood collection area where many patients were waiting. Despite my upcoming elective procedure on Monday requiring these results, I still needed to wait my turn. Jesus Shed His Blood For Us When my…

Let us write lives worth reading—stories of impact, kindness, and purpose. Let us make our corners of the world better places, knowing we won't get the chance to rewrite what we've lived, only to live what we'll be proud to have written.
The Elusive Price of Peace
The price of peace cannot be measured in tangible terms. I was speaking to a family friend about the Hamas/Israeli ceasefire and pondered why we find it so challenging to coexist peacefully with our neighbours. My friend replied dryly, “We all have free will to kill and destroy, or…” a glint appeared in his brown eyes, “to love and live in peace.” His words kept echoing in my mind as I watched…
2025: A Year of Renewal and Hope
As we step into 2025, there’s a palpable sense of possibility in the air. Years of global challenges have led us to a critical juncture of hope and determination. Although there are still pockets of conflict everywhere, hope is closer than we think. For 20 years, I’ve researched and written on human resilience; however, this year is unlike any other. Perhaps the collective exhaustion from the…
The True Spirit of Christmas: A time for Gratitude and Reflection
As I pause on this Christmas Eve, my heart turns to the true essence of this sacred celebration – the miraculous birth of Jesus Christ. Beyond the wrapped presents and twinkling lights, I’m reminded that the greatest gift ever given wasn’t placed under a tree but in a humble manger in Bethlehem. Looking back over this year’s journey, I’m overwhelmed with gratitude. Each morning I could rise, and…
A Cry For the Past: Remembering the Fallen
In the dimly lit living room of our home, I watched my adult son experience the brutal reality of war through Edward Berger’s adaptation of “All Quiet on the Western Front.” As tears streamed down his face, I realised that nearly a century after Erich Maria Remarque penned his haunting novel, its message still pierces young hearts with devastating clarity. The film, released in 2022, doesn’t…
The Arms Dealer's War: A Pacifist Perspective
As I scrutinise the global landscape, my heart grows heavy. The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are just the tip of a blood-soaked iceberg. Amidst the chaos and destruction, one group thrives in the shadows – the arms dealers.
As I scrutinise the global landscape, my heart grows heavy. The conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East are just the tip of a blood-soaked iceberg. Russian forces continue their relentless assault on Ukrainian soil, while the cycle of violence between Israel, Iran and its proxies, Hamas and Hezbollah, seems never-ending. Amidst the chaos and destruction, one group thrives in the shadows – the…
A Writer's Dream turned 12 today!
A New Day
In his resignation speech, former Prime Minister Rishi Sunak acknowledged the strength of the nation, declaring, "This is the best country in the world." Indeed, the electoral process was efficient and free from irregularities or claims of stolen votes.
We have elected a new leader in the UK, Sir Keir Stammer and his party, the Labour Party won by a landslide victory. Winning an impressive 211 seats, Labour now commands a dominant presence with 412 seats in Parliament. The Conservative Party faced a significant setback, experiencing a 24% decrease in seats and losing all their MPs in Wales. In his resignation speech, former Prime Minister Rishi…
Peace, Integrity and Politics
Integrity, the foundation of trust and honesty, faces a daunting challenge in the political sphere. Accusations fly, scandals erupt, and misinformation spreads rapidly.
March Haigh Reservoir, Marsden Moor – Photo Credit: Kate Harney The image above is so peaceful, and although I wished it was indicative of our political landscape in Europe, the reverse is the case. As we gear up to elect new leaders in the UK on Thursday and the US prepares for its November 5th, 2024, election, the ideals of peace and integrity seem increasingly elusive. Far from being serene…

Travel Diary: From Nigeria with Love
If you're ever in Nigeria, and need a cool, luxurious place to stay, don't hesitate to visit No. 1 Hotel Abuja. There's also a shuttle service from the airport to the hotel, just ask before you book and it would be taken care of.
Recently, I went to Nigeria for a much-needed break, and I am not really an adventurer; I am a reluctant traveller. I find excuses not to travel, and one of the major reasons is that I have lived in a sterile, clean environment for years. Mainly because of several health issues I’ve had in the past. I pick up infections easily, so I am very careful where I sleep. Last year summer, my family and I…

Human Stories
I am a pacifist, I don't believe violence can solve the world’s problems, but when we have 'big babies' as world leaders who jostle and boast about the nation with the best 'nukes', it just drives home the point that the innocent always suffer
Photo by Tetyana Kovyrina on Pexels.com There are days when I genuinely believe things can’t get worse, and it did. Humanity appears to be a lost cause. People are selfish, filled with hatred, bigotry, disillusioned, and feigned superiority when, in fact, we’re all the same, woven from the same cloth by blood. Many people are more interested in personal ambition than the welfare of their fellow…

Victory Over Death!
When I think about Jesus, I feel joy, appreciation for His sacrifice, and overwhelming relief that my life is free from the clutches of sin and shame. Christ paid the ultimate price for me and everyone who believes in Him. He translated my earthly being into a spiritual and heaven-bound believer. What an overwhelming victory! Death could not hold Him. Propelled by love, Christ went down to hell…

Infinite abyss
Alexei Navalny fought for an incorruptible Russia and paid with his life. Generations yet unborn will laud his efforts. Whatever we do, it’s important to think about the legacy we’ll leave behind.
Photo by Sumeet Ahire on Pexels.com A few hours ago, I learnt the unfortunate news of Alexei Navalny’s death. He was a Russian anti-corruption activist and Vladimir Putin’s arch-enemy. For some unknown reasons, Alexei’s death was a kick in the gut. I’m not Russian, but I’ve been following his fight for democracy and his fearlessness as a critic of Putin. And this brings me to the topic of my…
