Yes, learn Excel. Learn it well.

Don’t let all the AI brouhaha lock you out of the fundamentals that will make you a true professional.

Using AI is not the same as understanding the basics. AI is a tool; foundational skills are what make you valuable.

Master the fundamentals first. Then use AI to amplify what you know.

89 years old Prof Mark Nwagwu just had his thesis defence.

His first degree was earned in Stockholm University, Sweden in Zoology, completing his first PhD in 1965.

His second PhD was earned in Anthropology at the University of Ibadan.

Note to myself; It’s a matter of when, not if that I’ll earn a PhD, I currently set a target of earning a PhD before I clock 40, I don’t know if that’s achievable anymore, if not, I’ll increase my target to 50 years of age, hopefully, I live long enough. The Prof inspires me greatly.

🩺✝️ Did You Know? A Nigerian Priest Who Is Also a Medical Doctor

Rev. Fr. Edwin Chijioke Udeh of the Catholic Diocese of Enugu made history as the first priest in his diocese to qualify as a medical doctor.

On Tuesday, 22 July 2025, he was officially inducted into the medical profession and took the Hippocratic Oath at ESUCOM (Enugu State University of Medical Sciences).

Fr. Udeh’s journey beautifully echoes the vocation of Saint Luke, the beloved physician and evangelist. Just as St. Luke used his medical knowledge to serve others while proclaiming the Gospel, Fr. Udeh ministers to souls through the Sacraments and to bodies through medical care. In Nigeria, where the need for compassionate healthcare and spiritual support is great, such dual callings bring real hope to many.

Stories like this remind us of the Church’s long tradition of priests who are also physicians, following the example of Christ the Divine Healer and His faithful disciple St. Luke.

Let us continue to pray for Fr. Udeh and all priests serving in healthcare ministries across our country.

Saint Luke, pray for us! 🙏

THE FRUITFUL HEART

Homily for the Fifteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A
Isaiah 55:10-11; Romans 8:18-23; Matthew 13:1-23

A teacher once gave the same lesson to every student in her class. They all had the same textbook, the same explanation, and the same amount of time to prepare. Yet, when the examination results came out, the performance was remarkably different. The difference was not the teacher or the lesson. It was the attitude of the students.

This simple story helps us understand today’s Gospel. Jesus tells us the parable of the sower. Surprisingly, the focus is not really on the sower or even the seed. The sower is generous, scattering the seed everywhere. The seed is good because it is the Word of God. The real focus is the soil. The question Jesus asks each of us is: What kind of soil/heart do you have?

Some seed fell along the path. These are hearts that hear God’s Word but never truly allow it to enter. They may attend Mass every Sunday, listen to homilies, and read the Scriptures, but the Word remains on the surface. Pride, prejudice, or indifference prevents it from taking root. Some seed fell on rocky ground. These are people who receive God’s Word with enthusiasm but lack perseverance. They begin Lent with great zeal, make beautiful resolutions, or become active in the Church for a while. But when difficulties, criticism, or suffering come, their commitment quickly fades. Faith without deep roots cannot withstand the storms of life.

Other seed fell among thorns. Jesus explains that these thorns are the worries of life, the deceitfulness of riches, worry about the future, and worldly distractions. This may be the greatest challenge facing Christians today. Our hearts are so crowded with work, social media, money, success, and endless anxieties that God’s voice is drowned out. A heart filled with noise cannot easily hear the whisper of God.

Finally, some seed fell on good soil. These are the people who not only hear God’s Word but welcome it, live it, and persevere in it. They are not necessarily extraordinary people. They are ordinary Christians who allow God to shape their daily decisions. The fruit they bear is seen in forgiveness instead of revenge, honesty instead of corruption, generosity instead of selfishness, and hope instead of despair.

The first reading from Isaiah gives us great confidence. In that passage, the prophet Isaiah compares God’s Word to the rain and snow that fall from heaven. Just as rain waters the earth and makes it fruitful, so God’s Word never returns to Him empty. It always accomplishes His purpose. The problem, therefore, is never with God’s Word. It is always living, powerful, and effective. If there is little fruit in our lives, we should not blame the seed but examine the condition of the soil.

Every time we come to Mass, God is sowing His Word into our hearts. Every homily, every reading, every moment of prayer is another seed. The question is not whether God is speaking. He always is. The question is whether we are listening with hearts ready to receive Him and bear fruit. A fruitful heart is humble enough to listen, courageous enough to change, patient enough to persevere, and generous enough to put God’s Word into practice. Holiness is not measured by how many sermons we hear but by how faithfully we live them.

Today, let us ask the Lord to remove every stone of pride, every thorn of distraction, and every hardness caused by sin. May He make our hearts rich soil where His Word can take root and bear lasting fruit. For God is not simply looking for people who hear His Word; He is looking for hearts that allow His Word to transform their lives

If you start, you may never leave teaching again. If you reject it you might sweat for years before you get an offer close to that.

[Oreoluwa Bukola, CFA. @BukkyOA]

Got this exact question in my community yesterday and these are my thoughts:

First, stop trying to feel calm. You won’t. The nerves are not the problem. The problem is walking in unprepared so the nerves run the show.

Don’t memorise answers. You’ll forget them the second they word the question differently. Pick a few real stories from your own work and know them well. You won’t forget things that actually happened to you.

Keep one cheat sheet page for yourself for quick revisions. Not full answers. Just a few words to jog your memory, two or three numbers that show what you’ve done, and two questions to ask them. When your mind goes blank, one word brings it all back.

Sort your body out, not your head. Breathe out slower than you breathe in. Warm your hands up before you go in. Your body calms down faster than your thoughts will.

It’s okay to pause. Say “great question, then give yourself some 2-3 secs as though you are thinking of the answer” Sitting in silence for a moment makes you look senior. Rushing to talk will put your articulation at risk.

And honestly, remember who these people are. They’re strangers. They don’t feed you. You don’t owe them anything. You’re not there to beg them to pick you, you’re there to see if you even want them. Once you stop performing for people you don’t know, half the fear goes.

The last bit from me is your physical carriage will inform your mind. If you sit and then cross your legs for instance, your brain immediately thinks: Oh, this is a friendly conversation and it is responds to you that way. But if you sit uptight, it signals formality and challenge. So tell your brain through your posture the kind of experience you want.

That’s it. You don’t really get rid of the anxiety. You just walk in ready enough that it can’t take over.

Does he realize that Adeleke is there to serve him. Not the other way round.

There must be a mindset shift in our generation.

Why will an active citizen go on their knees to thank a public servant for doing his job which the active citizen is paying tax (through his nose) for.

There must be a mindset shift.
