What makes a man? It is not his body size; it is his inside, his mind which finds expression through his voice. It is indeed true that out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks. Hence, as men we must pay attention to our children. We must be more than an ATM dispensing cash when pressed. We must tend to the emotional needs of our kids as we build their character.

What do you bring to the table? A question that is now more common than a Twitter bot. In this episode, however, we move a step further from that. I talk about what it is that most men fall prey to when we find a woman who has no need for our dough. I share an interesting story about myself and how I overcame this weakness in character. Do enjoy! And share too.

In this episode I share how I learned to appreciate the journey more than the destination. It's a great thing to set goals, nevertheless if we must not miss out on life's precious moments, I feel more attention, as I have learned from experience, should be paid to the process. Do enjoy!

Quit worrying about God so much, Man's a big boy and can take care of Himself. See, it's not in your place to do what God has promised. Nope! So, stop fussing about His reputation. In this episode, I share something crucial that I have learned from my father. You'd love to know this because it would come in handy. Do enjoy. 😌

This episode is dedicated to all the fathers all over the world and it starts off quite surprisingly. You will enjoy it all the way, believe me. Here's our little message to all the fathers world over: We know you have set the bar so high. And sometimes you fall short. At some point you look to the left, you look to the right hoping for a miracle. But sadly, it doesn't come. Why don't you quit looking for one because you are one already? The Miracle you're looking for is you because the world would not exist without fathers. It will not exist. And worlds without fathers are like worlds without nine to fivers- it doesn't exist. You carry on you the weight of morality in that, it is your duty to teach morals to the kids. In you, we look and we find strength; we find the courage to push forward. Just a word of encouragement from you is all that we need to keep hope alive, to keep the world going. And to sustain whatever it is that we have built.

And so it's another year, another Father's Day. Or you may be wondering, all the things that you hope that you would achieve which you didn't achieve, the things you thought that you would give your family that you didn't give to them. But we are here telling you that your presence alone is a gift more than enough. Waking up each morning to your smiles, to the love that you give is enough to get us going. And even when you're long gone from here your works, your doings, the words that you have said- those words will keep us; it will keep the world because the truth of the matter is without you around many of us will end up in prison. Without you around, many of us will become another suicide statistic. Hence, regardless of what you may think your shortcomings are, we are proud of you. We are proud of you! And I wouldn't want to live in a world without fathers. So cheer up. We're grateful for you. We are happy that you are here. And thank you for bearing the pains, the troubles, and the burden of morality. Thank you for teaching us to be strong. Thank you for teaching us to be brave. Thank you for being there at our lowest moments. Thank you for encouraging us. Thank you for holding our hands. Thank you for cheering us on, for the laughs, and for playing with us. Thank you for being at school. Thank you for coming around. Thank you for the phone calls. Thank you for the pocket monies. Thank you for the allowances. Thank you for all of that because the truth is, your actions and inactions have forged us into the men and the women we are now.

Above all, you are indisposable. Happy Father's Day to all the fathers all over the world!
