- In what ways COVID-19 has impacted the local economy and even spiritual life negatively?
- What do we learn from Habakkuk in such challenging times and how do we apply these lessons to our individual and collective lives?
- Joy must characterize the life of a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ. If there is no joy in your daily life, please watch as there is certainly a spiritual leak. Ask yourself these diagnostic questions: Am I complaining often? Do I have the tendency to blame others for almost everything? Do I talk to myself negatively? Do I dwell in my past successes or failures? Do I resist to change? Do I want to please everybody (which by way is am impossible task)? Do I doubt God’s wonderful plan for my life? Do I neglect my Bible study, church attendance, and prayer life? I am hiding to commit sin or life my life like an ungodly person without a respectful fear of God? Am I jealous? Am I envious? Am I afraid of what will happen to me given my current life circumstances? Bring these issues to the Lord in prayer and your will enjoy His peace and joy.
- Prof. Moussa Bongoyok

You didn’t hear… or did you hide willingly under the bed of abstraction?
Maybe you did hear about Boko Haram and other terrorist movements in action…
But, you see, your geography professor told you as did your musician,
With all the calm and seriousness of an academician,
That Kousseri, Maroua, Mora, Tourou, Moskota, Koza, Ouzal, Mozogo,
And other localities or infrahuman countries must go,
Because their humanity index is so low, and,
They are located on an unknown planet, the land of tomorrow.
Why worry about the future
While one calmly drinks today’s culture?
Maybe you didn’t see what is happening on social media as your soul became a taro…
Because, above all, you must set your economic priorities right to beat the antihero
And accumulate as much power and things as you can carry in your empty barrow.
Your business professor told you so, with his academic sombrero.
Your financial advisor is such a genius so different from the harrow
That you gather things, things and more things, and the great dinero.
You eat power, power and more power over bones without a marrow.
Aren’t they mere keys to your success today and tomorrow?
Your eyes can’t see while you dream to be the next pharaoh
And, after all, your neighbor is just a dried arrow!
Who will cry for those who no longer have heads?
Who will become a shelter for those who no longer have beds?
Who will eat for those who can no longer smell the odor of fresh breads?
Who will bring joyous colors to lives painted in multiple reds?
Who will tell Europe, America, Asia and others, that Boko Haram spreads
Faster and deeper than the swiftest fighters and meds?
Who will act? Who will dig? Who will lovingly address the roots
Instead of relying solely on boots?
Oh! I wish you and I were the recovered triumphant shouts of the voiceless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the beautiful tears of the tearless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the real wealth of the resourceless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the reconstructed ramparts of the powerless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the regained smiles of the hopeless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the lost but found face of the faceless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the living image of the divine rock for the baseless!
Oh! I wish you and I were the real value of lives so priceless!
Regardless of our religious backgrounds, we are all humans;
Would you and I actively navigate against the currents and stop treating others as subhumans?

« Kɨlɨ kɨlә taka ŋә ŋgayә ndzәɗәla taka », ou en onomatopée : « tseku-tseku peye tseku pe », (proverbe parkwa [podoko])
-
en Français : « casse moi une épine pour enlever l’épine » (proverbe parkwa [podoko])
-
« break a thorn for me in order to remove the thorn » (Parkwa/Podoko proverb)
Explication : Dans les travaux champêtres, il peut arriver que les épines piquent les travailleurs, et que ces épines restent dans les paumes des mains ou des pieds ou dans n’importe quelle autre partie du corps. Pour extraire cette épine, on a besoin d’une autre épine. C’est donc par l’épine qu’on extrait l’épine, comme pour dire « on éteint le feu par le feu ». Ceci peut aussi signifier que pour résoudre un problème, il faut partir de la source de ce problème.
