*NOTHING LASTS FOREVER: The story of RAGOLIS Water, and all of us.* There was a time when RAGOLIS Water didn’t just quench thirst — it defined bottled water in Nigeria. In offices, on street corners, and at events, people didn’t ask for water. They said, “Buy RAGOLIS.” That’s how powerful the brand was — a pioneer born in 1981 through a Partnership between Nigeria’s Chagoury Group and France’s Société des Eaux de Volvic. Drawn from natural springs in Ikorodu and packaged with class, it was the first ISO-certified bottled water in Nigeria. Clean. Prestigious. Trusted. By the 2010s, it was producing 2 million litres a month, dominating cities from Lagos to Kano. RAGOLIS sat on the throne. Until the tides changed. Then came the challengers like Eva, Nestlé Pure Life, Aquafina, CWay — armed with deeper pockets, aggressive distribution, and relentless marketing. RAGOLIS, once unshakable, tried to rebrand. But the world had moved on. Electricity became luxury. Diesel became gold....

*"You Cannot Retire"* I have come to this conclusion, not just from books or sermons, but from the steady drumbeat of real life. From watching friends, colleagues, family members, great men—men of wisdom, strength, and wealth—choose to retire... only to quietly fade into sickness, into sorrow, and then, far too soon, into the arms of death. Retirement, in the way the world understands it, is not rest—it is resignation. Resignation from purpose. From duty. From the creative tension that keeps the spirit vibrant and alert.  We are taught that everything in Creation is in motion. Motion is life. Motion is law. Look around you: *. Rivers flow ceaselessly—wherever the current breaks off, water *. stagnates and death settles in. *. The Earth rotates without pause. *. The seasons march in perfect obedience. *. Even the great stars above us dance in eternal cycles, never swerving, never stalling. Man is no exception. We were not made to rest. We were made to strive, to bu...

The Air India plane crash. To some, just another breaking news story. To me, it was a soul-stirring reminder of how fragile and unpredictable life really is. Four lives. Four stories. Four powerful lessons that changed how I see time, purpose, and the grace of each moment. First: A family who had waited years to fulfill their dream of migrating to the UK. Life kept getting in the way, responsibilities, delays, decisions. They finally made it onto the plane… but never reached their destination And I realized: We carry so many plans for “someday.” But if we keep waiting, someday becomes never. Second: A woman who was supposed to be on that flight. She arrived late. Missed the check-in. Pleaded to get on board but was denied. She was frustrated, angry, defeated. Only to later realize: that delay was divine protection. We don’t always get what we want, because God sees what we cannot. Sometimes, His “no” is what keeps us alive. Third: A man who survived. The plane ...
