Miss Maggi (Part 2)



It didn't take me long before I found out who Maggi is from other staffs of the organization. Apparently, she feels like a 'Maraget Thatcher', but she is an 'Adolf Hitler'. She gives orders that must not be challenged by even her superiors. She is a terrible leader. No. She is not a leader. She is a boss in every sense of the word boss. Her 6 feet 4 inches does not help the situation in any way. Her words are like thunders.

She does not get along with anyone in the firm. She is a loner 'who has a knack for sacking her assistants in the first month', one of the staffs told me. The longest serving assistant she ever had spent 2 months before she threatened to beat the lady up. I wondered why she has not been sacked. My inquiries told me that she gets her work done perfectly and very good at clinching clients. So, as long as she is bringing money in, the boss does not care if she spits on every other person. Too bad. 

How will I cope with this kind of person? The first week went well. I did all the assignments she gave me to the best of my ability. I love excellence. The only thing I noticed about her is that she would only comment if she found an error in my work. If the work is perfect, she would not say a word. That's not weird. We all think that way too. Why would everyone feel bad about this lady. She seems normal to me. Perhaps I have not seen 'her true color'. Despite all the things I have heard about her, I was determined to give her the benefit of the doubt. I remembered the definition of love that the Holy Spirit gave me in college. He said, 'love does not think evil about anyone and does not think that anyone is thinking evil about him'.

From her schedules, she doesn't have anything on her family, friends or even acquaintance. Maybe she keeps all that till after work. Second week on the job and she started showing some behaviors that looked like what I have heard. She asked for coffee. I served her. She looked into the cup, looked at me. Her face looked like that of a hungry predator that is being disturbed by an insect. The insect is not big enough to satisfy his hunger, yet, she has to do something about the irritating sounds of the insect. She picked up the cup and threw it angrily on the floor. I moved back as she thundered at me never to bring her coffee in a red cup. I hate red! Then why is a red cup on your shelf, I thought to myself.

That week, I worked extended time trying to get her proposals and presentations ready. She would reject my power points six to seven times over. She was just impossible to satisfy. She throws about a dozen curses at me in one hour. She is worse than what I heard from others. My benefit of the doubt ends this week. This woman does not deserve an iota of me. I deserve much more. I reported her to the HR, but they encouraged me to endure till the end of the month and let them know if I decide to stay or not. In the middle of the turmoil in my mind, I heard that still small voice: 'I want to tell you something about her'.

What does the Holy Spirit want to say about her? I will find out when I get home.

Prophetic Perspective: Israel vs Iran

The middle east situation between Israel and Palestine is a very complex one that can be viewed from many sides. Whichever perspective you choose, there will always be an unresolved issue. It is exactly a year that Hamas, a terrorist group in Palestine, dealt the biggest blow ever to the Israeli state, killing over 1000 Jews and abducting about 251. It sent a shock wave round the world. The October 7, 2023 attacks kick-started a war that has escalated to involve Lebanon, Syria, Qatar and Iran. Israel has gone all out attacking Palestine in a wave that many world leaders have been cautioning them to consider the civilians. ORIGIN OF THE WAR The origin of the war in the middle east can be traced back to the 1920s when Britain, in conjunction with the Arabs defeated the Ottoman military in Jerusalem and took the city as a colony of the British royalty.  It wasn't long before the British decided to release the land to the Arabs that fought alongside them. But, there was another set of ...

Nigeria In The Bible

As we approach another celebration of the independence of the nation Nigeria, I will like us to know some things about this nation that the LORD has shown me. If a man wants to know the details of God's will for his life, he would need to read the things that have been written or said about him by God. Prophecy is one of the ways that the will of God can be known. Prophecy is voicing God's will. This same principle applies to territories as territories also have a will established by God for them to fulfill. In the scriptures, we see details of many nations that existed in that time. Nations like Israel, Egypt, Syria, Edom, Philistine, Babylon and in the new testament, we saw countries like Italy and Spain which still exists till today. Most of the nations that were mentioned in the old testament bear a new name today. There were some nations mentioned in the old testament, but their names were not specified. God, through the prophets spoke about the destiny of some na...

EndSARS: Prophetic Intelligence

  Some moments ago, the LORD reminded me of the things He shared with me during the protests. As usual, when I hear of an event in Nigeria or on the global scene, I would go to God for prophetic intelligence. I have always shared how that prophetic (spiritual) intelligence is the highest form of reality. When we seek God's counsel about an issue in our life, family or work, we are seeking prophetic intelligence. If we seek it for different issues in our life, how much more would it be of greater premium when we seek it for happenings in our nation. The ENdSARS protests started without any prior notice. There was no signal to it in the physical and it gathered momentum within days so much that many were surprised that Nigerians could stand up for their right. As the protests were going on, I went to God to find out His thoughts about the protests. In following God in the last days, many have missed the trail because they arrange things based on the knowledge of good and evil. We...
