Hi folks, this is me Omotaylor. Born and bred in Nigeria, I am very proudly Nigerian, in spite of currently living in the Diaspora. I am from Nigeria's one and only Sunshine State and hence my philosophy includes spreading warmth and happiness to all I know. The best thing in my life is my God, who has been my only permanent friend to date and a real succour to me, hence I have vowed to Him to do his Will and Evangelise at all times. I believe that our children are our future so I get involved in Children Ministries and education. Lastly, as "all work and no play makes jack a dull boy", I love travelling, creative writing, stage acting, football and dancing so so much. Peace :)

The Nigerian South and Northern Hemisphere

We live in a world where different churches, teaching and doctrines are springing up here and there, and everywhere. But any church that does not have a sound Biblical foundation cannot produce true Christians. As Jesus in [...]
