 A FATHER AND MENTOR
 I will consider myself a failure
If my kids mention five mentors
And I am not one of them.

AMERICA ELECTION
I wish to join millions of people all over the world to congratulate Barack Obama on his successful re-election.
I also wish to congratulate all my American friends.
God bless America.
My girl, FIONA (12 weeks old). Father: Elf Ad-Dirah. Mother: Daisy von kelemen
WORLD ANIMAL DAY
 Today is world animal day. May I enjoin all humans to show love to every other animal out there. To maltreat lesser animals is to abuse divine priviledge.

SNACKS FOR COUPLES...
Often I hear a spouse says "there is no happiness in this marriage"...
Marital joy will not be thrown at you. You will have to create it yourself by bending backwards. Expecting perfection from your spouse is a sure path to sadness. Know the weaknesses of your spouse and make allowances for them. You may not like them, but you cannot change them without love.

NOT BY MONEY...
Shape not the size of your dream, by the size of your pocket. Rather, shape the size of your dream, by the size of your vision. No successful dreamer has ever needed money to actualize any dream. For there lies a strong magnetic force in your dream, that attracts the resources, persons and circumstances that eventually mold your dreams into reality, if indeed you believe.

Until the size of your dream, intimidates the size of your pocket, you are not set for distinction...Dr. Thomas-Wilson

DIEDIER DROGBA
Diedier Drogba was given a hero's welcome yesterday as he arrived China to start a two-and-half year contract that is expected to make him one of football's highest-paid players, earning £200,000 ($314,000), over 50million naira weekly!

Develop that gift inside of you!


Bury yourself diligently in that vocation!

Soon, the world will celebrate you.

Seest thou a man diligent in his business, he shall stand before Kings, he shall not stand before mean men...Prov 22:29

SHUT UP!
I have a very strong urge to speak to someone this morning.
Can you please execute that vision with minimal noise?
Do you not think it is better for us to see the RESULT, rather than the rays?
Have you thought of the number of dreams you have shared with 'friends' and 'well-wishers' that never eventually saw the light of the day?
So, why must you keep doing the same thing and expect a different result?
Do this differently for once, execute that dream quietly and keep your mouth shut!

I am waiting to celebrate with you...
TESTIMONY!
A few weeks ago, my wife posted the picture of our triplets on her Facebook page. One of her facebook friends saw it, saved it and every morning, she would lay her hands on the picture and pray fervently, using it as a point of contact, that God should answer her and cause her also to become pregnant.
According to this woman, she missed her menstrual period the following month for the first time in four years!
Interestingly, she has permanently changed her blackberry display picture (dp) to that of our triplets.
I was wondering at the wonders of FAITH this morning and just felt like sharing this testimony with you.

I pray for you this Sabbath day, may the Lord grant you the innermost desires of your heart and cause your secret tears to become open testimonies in Jesus name.
TODAY IS WORLD BLOOD DONOR DAY
Vehicles need fuel to move, man needs blood to function. Unfortunately, someone out there needs your blood to stay alive.
Be a hero unto someone today.
Donate blood...save a soul!
RANDOM THOUGHTS...
For so many years, I have heard the Yoruba adage that says, "Ireje o si ninu foto..."; meaning that there is no cheating in photographs, the way you pose is the way you will appear.
Another English adage says "pictures don't lie".

I came across this image of George Bush, former American president, hugging Osama Bin Laden recently on the Internet and without a second thought, I said to myself "photoshop!"

On a second thought however, I began to imagine...whatever happened to those proverbs and adages I quoted earlier?

If a mischievous fellow goes to your facebook wall, save your pictures, do a fotomix and come out with something embarrassing to you, your loved ones and spouse....??
See how technology has altered our world!
Well, pardon me. Just letting my imagination run wild this week.
RANDOM THOUGHTS...
Reading the dramatic episodes of allegations of corruption between Zenon Oil and the house of rep. committee on petroleum subsidy, I again came to the realization of the damaging blow meted on our polity by the monster called corruption.

I spent a whole month addressing the way forward for Nigeria on my fb wall last year under the tittle "my prescription for Nigeria".
The first sets of recommendations I made were:
1. That special anti-corruption courts be established to try cases of graft and deliver judgements within six months.
2. That penalty for corruption be (a)death penalty with no option of fine (b)forfeiture of all assets of the convict, including those of his/her spouse and biological children (c)banning of the spouse and biological children from contesting or holding political offices.

Until we tackle corruption head-on, we shall continue to be a backward people and a laughing stock in the committee of nations.

 RANDOM THOUGHTS...
This week, I will just let my imagination run wild!
I had concluded arrangements to begin a new series this morning. But my mind simply refused to follow my brain. Many thoughts yet on my mind, itching to be let loose this week.
So, do pardon me this once.

Meanwhile, this is wishing every Nigerian a happy Democracy Day tomorrow.

 FATHER`S DAY
I will consider myself a failure
If my kids mention five mentors
And I am not one of them.

Wishing all worthy fathers, a
happy father's day.
SHOCKING PROPHECY!
During the Sunday service today 10/06/12, the General Overseer of Prayer Centre Church of God, Prophet Samson Oluwamodede said: "soon, I see a government in the federal sit of power in Nigeria, that upon assumption of office proceeds to prosecute and indeed convict past corrupt leaders. I see many hitherto untouchable politicians convicted and sent to prison, some even died in prison..."

PLAGIARISM ON FACEBOOK!
ATTENTION!
I woke up at about 3.30am on 6th June 2012, three days after the ill-fated Dana plane crash.
I lost a colleague in the air-accident.
My mind was so heavy that I decided to put down my thoughts in a poetic form and titled it "LAMENTATIONS OF AN AIRCRAFT".
I put my name to the poem and posted in on my wall at about 7.30am same day.
Not a few facebook friends liked it and indeed went ahead to tag it on their walls, including Black Berry Messengers.

I was however embarrassed when I saw this same poem on a friend's wall and the credit claimed by one Bala Mohammed with the following address:

Bala Mohammed
Applied Fluids Systems Group, Synexis
Applied Materials, Inc
(510)714-8171

Any work of art is a product of cerebral exertion and the author should be so acknowledged whenever the work is reproduced.
To copy another man's work VERBATIM and claim its ownership theretofore is stealing and indeed most condemnable!
 
 
 THE WINNER
The winner of this week's edition of Guess & Win fb Quiz Contest, Mr Yemi Akintomide, receiving his prize as earlier advertised on my wall.

 
SOMEBODY HELP!
A few days ago, I rushed to the theatre for an emergency surgery. While at it, the accounting officer requested the patient's husband to make some payment. However, the gentleman said he runs a JOINT ACCOUNT with his wife and that payment will be made when she regains consciousness as her signature is required to effect withdrawal. And true, after the surgery and her recovery from anesthesia, she co-signed and payment made pronto!
Issues relating to joint account is not new, but this incident set me thinking. Hence this opinion poll:
WILL YOU RUN A JOINT ACCOUNT WITH YOUR SPOUCE?
Pls state your reasons as we would like to learn from you. Thanks.
 THE WINNER
The Star Prize of the Guess and Win question I posted on my wall yesterday.
The winner, Mr Yemi Akintomide, should pls pick it up at Sckye Hospitals & Diagnostics Ltd today31/05/12 by 4pm.
Thanks

Keeping fit...

HAPPY CHILDREN'S DAY 
As we celebrate children's day today, I pray for every parent that your children will be unto you objects of joy. And as many of you that yet look up to God for the fruits of the womb, as the Lord liveth, the fruits of your womb will be amongst the children that will partake of this celebration next year, in Jesus name.




BEWARE OF PRAISE-SINGERS
Today, the 1st of April ; 2012 is "Palm Sunday". The day that Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem on a first-class donkey, amidst pump and peagantry. People sang his praise and even laid their cloths on the ground for him to ride on.
 Amazingly however, the same set of people, just five days later, unanimously called for his Crucifixion over frivolous accusations!Beware of those singing your praise today. Beware of that "best friend".
It is better to walk clean, than to believe your secret is safe with that confidant.Your best friend today can be your worst enemy tomorrow.
  ......with Abiola Wilson.

DILIGENCE
This picture shows Mark Zuckerberg sitting on the right side of Barack Obama at a dinner with technology business leaders in Woodside, California, February 17, 2011.

Seesth thou a man
Diligent in his business?
He shall stand before kings
He shall not stand before mean men (prov. 22:29)

IT'S MOTHER'S DAY
 Who sat and watched my infant head.
 When sleeping on the cradle bed.
 And tears of sweet affection shed.
 My mother.... (Ann Taylor). 
This is wishing all mothers and potential mothers, a happy mother's day.

 MOTHERS` DAY


For the mothers out there and for those that treasure their mothers and all women irrespective of status

IS YOUR NAME IN THE BOOK OF LIFE ???????????????????????? If suddenly, right now, you find yourself standing before the judgement throne of God (either by death or rapture), will your name be found in the book of life? Rev 22:12

LOOKING BEYOND...
 A couple of days ago, a 20-foot waterfall was inaugurated right in the center of Alagbaka roundabout by the Ondo state govt in Nigeria. This facility has suddenly become a tourist center for most visitors and residents of Akure, especially at nights. Beyond the fun, lies an opportunity to make some cash. Can any thinking young man or woman out there get a camera(not camera phones as others are doing), snap fun-seekers and print out the pictures in a short while?...

THE LION'S HEART
 THE LION
 Is the King of the jungle. Not because it is the biggest. Of all animals in the forest. Kingship lies. In the heart of men. Slavery lies. In the heart of men. Show me your thoughts. And I will show you. Your destiny.

OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook)
 CONCLUSION
 Does anyone out there have any area in the operations of facebook that you think needs to be re-addressed? Kindly make such contributions here, as we round off this series today. I thank you all for following me through this 'uninteresting' series borne out of my unpleasant experience. Why do I have to go this far in addressing this matter? Simply because I believe that we should be agents of solutions and not just complainers.

OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBERG  (founder of facebook) -005:
 There should be a KNOWN specified number of friend requests that a 'facebooker' can send out at a time. if those requests are not confirmed within 48hrs, the system should cancel them automatically, without any penalty to the sender. Sending a friend request to someone you never knew before should not be termed 'harassment' as presently defined by facebook, as there is always a first time to meeting anyone.

 
OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook)-004: 
There should be an address known to all facebook account owners, where we can report all suspected cases of fraud or abuse on facebook. Many of us receive messages from 'ladies' who claim to be in refugee camps, whose fathers left millions of dollars for in foreign accounts and require our assistance in cashing the money through our own accounts! It is not just enough to ignore them. If I don't fall prey, the next fellow might.

 OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook) -003: 
There should be a provision whereby every new facebook account would be accompanied with fingerprints. This will prevent the incidence of a person owning multiple accounts and falsified identities. I know this recommendation might be the hardest for you, because certain persons might opt out of facebook for security reasons. These are the people we do not need on the network. We either know you or we don't need you!


 
OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook) -002
When a person newly opens a facebook account, he/she must fill ALL the column in the 'profile' segment before the account is accepted by the facebook team, so that in just a glance, you can have an idea of who the account owner is. A situation where people just fill in their names and leave out other vital information encourages ambiguity, fraud and suspicion.

OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook)- 001
 As soon as a person logs into the facebook website and goes to the column for opening a new account, the rules and regulations of facebook should be displayed. After reading through, the person must attest at the bottom, that the rules are understood and that he/she is ready to be subject to them. Only then should the fellow be allowed to proceed. The current situation where a portion is shown to you after you have been penalised for an offence you were ignorant of is untidy.

OPEN LETTER TO MARK ZUCKERBERG (founder of facebook): 
Dear Mark, let me start by congratulating you on the successful launch of "facebook" in 2004. I also congratulate you on your decision to drop out of Havard in order to focus on facebook. However since facebook has grown beyond California Colleges into a global phenomenon, there is an urgent need to REVIEW some of the existing rules, so as to sustain genuine interests and prevent fraudsters from taking advantage of these loopholes. This I shall address from tomorrow.

I MAY QUIT FACEBOOK!
 Two days ago, the facebook team logged me out and suspended my account. When I eventually visited the cybercafe, the system displayed my offence: I sent 'friend requests' to people I didn't know! Over 70% of my facebook friends are people I never knew from Adam. They sent me requests and having perused their walls & profiles, I either 'confirm' or 'reject'. Asking for friendship is no 'harassment', except you reject & I yet persisted. So, the next time am logged out this ground, I stay out!

BEWARE OF FACEBOOK FRIENDS
 I've seen people praising God for the friends they made on facebook. I've also seen others biting their fingers in deep regret. Most people give very scanty details about themselves in the 'profile' column. Some outrightly fill in WRONG information! Before going into a business or emotional relationship with someone you met on facebook, please check again. Pray & shine your eyes! You may need to contact your 'mutual friends' for facts. I pray, may you not truncate your destiny on the alter of facebook in Jesus name.

 
TODAY IS INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY! 
How delicately precious thou art, oh woman. In thy palm lies the power to make. The power to break. The might to build, the emotions to pull down. Only a foolish man, will take you for a ride. Men think they are smart, but thou art wiser than smart. Today, the 9th of March; 2012, I join the world to celebrate women everywhere. Celebrate that woman in your life today; your mother, sister, wife, aunty, female colleague, niece, neighbour. They make the world go round!

STILL CELEBRATING WOMANHOOD
 Yesterday was International Women's Day. I did join the rest of the world to celebrate women GLOBALLY. Today, I look inward, to celebrate LOCALLY, the women in the inner caucus of my life...Abiola my wife, Ejiro my daughter. Oh!..the Triplets! They are not yet "women". When we celebrate World Kids Day, I shall so honour them...

 WHAT MANNER OF LOVE
 This younger man got married to this older woman in the marriage registry here in Nigeria a few days ago. Some say it is pure greed and should be condemned, others say it is pure love and should be celebrated. What sayest thou?
MY FACEBOOK DISCOVERY!
 I have come to discover that when you make a post on facebook, quite a number of people see and read it. But of this number, only a small percentage respond by making comments. So don't be deceived into thinking that the few people that comment on your wall are the only ones who read your posts. The implication of this is that you should be careful what you post on facebook. Someone somewhere will refer to it someday. Would it work FOR or AGAINST you?

MEMORIES OF VALENTINE
 Yesterday's Valentine day was awesome! My wife and I were guest speakers at the Love Domain Family Church, where the topic was "let's talk about sex" After that wonderful time in His presence, we headed to Captain Cook fast food at Alagbaka where we ordered meals and drove straight to Sunview Hotels & Suites where we had earlier booked an apartment for a nite in the VIP unit, by the pool. And thank God there was no "emergency" call from the hospital! Who says I don't go on vacation?
 St. VALENTINE's DAY
Going by this following mathematical equation, today's valentine's day ought to be cancelled: 14-02-12=0
I pray for you, all my facebook friends that every satanic 'love' targetted at your destiny be cancelled, and that God Almighty will genuinely put your LOVE in the minds of Destiny Helpers who will move you to the next level in Jesus name!
HAPPY SUNDAY
Need I say more? Happy Sunday to you all...--12th of Feb. 2012

" MY RECOMMENDATION FOR NIGERIA" 
THE LIFELINE FOR A MISMANAGED NATION. 
The solution to the many problems of Nigeria does not lie in the removal or re-instatement of the petroleum subsidy. President GEJ is not our problem. Under the present arrangement, an Obama will not fare better. I spent a whole month daily posting the way forward last year. Therein lies the solution to our many problems. Pls visit: www.thomasswilson.blogspot.com/my prescription for Nigeria.
DO NOT HATE NIGERIA! 
Over the years, I have seen not a few Nigerians, voice out their frustrations. Some wonder why God should, of all places, send them to Nigeria! But is this nation not one of the most blessed with human and natural resources? The problem is not with Nigeria as a nation, but with our inability to manage our resources. So, no matter what, you may hate the POLICY of the government, but don't hate your COUNTRY...


DON'T LET YOUR PAST SEND YOU TO HELL
Most of us have made mistakes at some points in our lives.
Some of which have put a "stigma" on our personality.
We've been to God in true repentance, but often we fail to forgive ourselves and yet live in the memories of our past errors, with a deep feeling of regret & inferiority to other 'saints'... 
To resign to a life of perpetual iniquity because of a past error, is to settle for eternal damnation.

MY THOUGHTS ON CHURCH
The church is a bus in which we are travelling to heaven; 
our ultimate destination.
If the bus is faulty or the driver is reckless,
if I truly desire to arrive at my destination, 
then I MUST alight and join another sound bus.
Many will miss heaven,
because they are dogmatically commited to their church,
seeing it as the ultimate, 
rather than a mere agent of conveyance...

JUST LOVING MY WIFE !
 I want to celebrate my wife this morning
 (here she is, with our daughter shortly after delivery)!...
 When i remember the discomfort of nine-months protrusion,
 her pains and tears at childbirth, her many sleepless nights,
dancing for our baby without a drummer...
I fall in love again, and again!
Please join me. to CELEBRATE womanhood!!!!!!!!!!!..DR. WILSON
    
 
 
 



HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
As you turn 54 on this Sunday, 20th Nov. 2011
I join millions of people globally to say "happy birthday". 
I pray the Lord, grant you Courage to take decisions, 
that will move us into fulfillment, even if painfully so. 
That "My Prescriptions For Nigeria" finds expression in your administration. 
Happy buffday your excellency...DR. WILSON

 
GOD BLESS NIGERIA
If you believe Nigeria shall rise above its present challenges, into the land of our dream,
then join me to say....
GOD BLESS NIGERIA !!! ....DR. WILSON
ARE WE BETTER THAN OUR LEADERS ?
Most of us are guilty of d very things we accuse our leaders of! Long queues of vehicles now seen @ filling stations nationwide since d FG fixed PMS price @ #97/L. These stations have fuel, but just refused to sell. When d FG fixed #140/L last week, they sold willingly and made profits of over 100%. Even in d civil service, it takes a corrupt Perm Sec & Directors to have a corrupt minister or commissioner! So are "we" better than "them"?
 

Uneasy Lies The Hand. That Carries The Noozle...
 
GOD HELP AMERICA!

MY TAKE ON REMOVAL OF FUEL SUBSIDY
A friend pinged me this morning and asked why I'd made no comment on such a burning national issue as the removal of fuel subsidy! I will like to share my response with you:"Beloved, this issue is only a symptom, like PHCN, corruption, Boko Haram etc. From my training, I've learnt to address every disease from its root, rather than focus on the symptoms. The root-solution I have addressed for almost a month on fb in the series "My Prescription For Nigeria"". Need I say more?






BREAKING NEWS !
14.8 million Nigerians unemployed
--National Bureau of Statistics.
NOLLYWOOD

I have developed a blue-print whereby the Nigerian film industry can generate enough money to finance the annual budget of the country. Every practitioner will make very good pay and its effect on the Nigerian economy will be awesome! If d authorities are interested, I will release the blue-print AT NO COST.
