HELLO,
Dear
Family Members, Friends and Visitors,
We are
keeping up our resolution to update this site quarterly and to
let you know what we have updated. So, here we go again for the
third quarter of the year.
1. Our
adventure at OKO
On May 20th, 2006,
Akin Adesina and the family webmaster, Sanya Oloruntoba,
travelled by car from Ilorin to Ibadan. Five kilometers from the
village of OKO, our car broke down. After towing it to Oko for
repairs, we found that the problem was a burnt gasket. How the
gasket was removed and a new one obtained to replace it by the
village mechanics, is the kernel of this true story. It is a
story you should not miss.
2. Our
Photo Gallery #10
Some of the
photographs taken during the car breakdown adventure are
displayed in our photo gallery #10. There are five pictures
there; two showing the nearly burnt out engine of our car and
others showing us in pensive moods. There is one showing your
webmaster hungrily devouring a very late lunch!
3. The Green
Revolution gathers momentum
The much talked about
African Green Revolution seem to be gathering momentum with the
donation of $100 dollars by Bill Gates Melinda Foundation to
complement Rockefeller Foundation support with $50 million for
the next five years. The fund are to be used mainly for the
training of scientists for the project. Read all about it in
this update

Give me this mountain: A sermon
This is a message we
had the privilege to give to the youths of the the English
section of our Church.
Caleb, in the Joshua 14:1-14 asked Joshua in verse 12, “Give
me this mountain” (mount Hebron) as his

share of the inheritance after they had
entered and conquered Canaan.
Taking a mountain is to face our challenges in Christian life.
The mountains facing Christian youths in our nation today are
enormous: They include: Cultism, Drugs, Sexual promiscuity,
Marital unfaithfulness, HIV/AIDS, Get rich quick syndrome
and so forth. It is often said that our youths are a reflection of our
society. Yes that is true, but Christian youths should be
different. When we take our mountains and overcome them, we will
gain a profound peace that only Christ can give.

His Excellency: A new joke
Here is a new, (well,
not so new) joke about politicians from developing countries. It
will make you laugh.
6. Grandma's
latest Nigerian recipe
At long last, we've
got grandma to give us a new Nigerian recipe for our visitors.
She said she wanted to give a recipe that can be of universal
interest. Try this one titled "Assorted Pancakes" and let
us know if you like it.
7. We are
planning a new website
Our free space at
tripod.com, which is only 20meg, is getting full. The
alternatives are to upgrade to a paid site with bigger space, or
look for a more generous free host. We think we have found one
with a free 250meg. Yes, 250meg free! But we want to test that
host first with regard to its administration and policy. A
family website should not be hosted anywhere, particularly with
hosts that allow indecent and inappropriate sites on its
servers. When we are ready to move we shall let you know where
to find us.
