ELVIRA’S PEN

SET YOURSELF FREE  - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved!! In Africa, especially in Nigeria, we often associate negative occurrences with witchcraft, our enemies at work or one wicked uncle somewhere who doesn’t want our progress. As much as these things are real, they are not the cause of all our problems. Even the things that we have failed to do or we did wrongly have backfired and we have termed it “enemies at work”. Have you ever asked yourself why you pray every now and then. You bind and cast, yet bad things still happen around you., you don’t get the results you expect or things might be going right but suddenly starts going wrong again. This is because we have built a mental pattern for ourselves that attracts negativity into our lives. For instance, if you keep being afraid of car accidents when ever you travel; whenever you are in a car, every move the drive takes makes you anxious and weary of an accident, a day will come that the accident you have always feared will cat...

NO HURT IN LOVE🤍 - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! I don’t know if it’s because Valentine’s Day is around the corner, I am feeling all kinds of good emotions and I am also trying to figure them out.  It’s not like I have any big expectations for February 14, but there’s a way life feels right now and somehow, I just know I will be receiving and giving lots of love. I know there are several negative and positive myths and historic symbolism around Valentine, but like every other thing in life, history and myths don’t really matter when your heart and intentions are in a good place. Love is good, no matter how twisted our different definitions may be. Love is pure, no matter how cruel the world may be. Love heals. Love binds. Love mends. Love elevates. Love is calm and kind. As we run around the idea of what love should or shouldn’t be, let us take out time to evaluate our lives, take note of the people around us and figure out how best to show them love. Forget about the romant...

Introduction: The Heartbeat of a Nation October 1st, 1960. Nigeria gains independence. The air is thick with hope, and the soundtrack? It was the sophisticated brass of  Highlife . While the nation was being born, legends like  Bobby  Benson  and  Victor  Olaiya  were already crafting a sound that would define West Africa. But this was just the prologue. Today, in 2026, Nigerian  music isn't just a local pride  it’s a global powerhouse generating  over  900  billion Naira  annually. How did we go from palm-wine bars in Lagos to selling out the world's biggest arenas? This is the evolution of the Giant of Africa." The Revolutionaries (1970s – 1980s) By the 70s, the optimism of independence met the grit of military rule. Out of this friction came  Fela   Anikulapo-Kuti . He di dn’t just play music; he revolutionized the scene by blending highlife, jazz and funk to create  Afrobeat —a weapon of political resist...

RELEASING THE UNWANTED - Elvira Jordan Good Morning Beloved! I am one of those weird people who pay attention to Luna circles. I mean, from the new moon to the full moon is 28 days for a reason and if we want to follow that critically, our new year may start in February… I know mine does.  Here’s what works for me… I see the full moon as the end of every month and the end of every month is the end of a circle for me. Even though you don’t pay so much attention to the moon circle, walk with me…. The first full moon in 2026 happens to fall on the 1st to 2nd of February and with my calculations above, one Luna year is ending and another one is about to begin, and I think we can make use of it. Despite our new year resolutions, search through your life, your mind, your subconscious and you may find residues of things you may be holding onto that no longer serves you- this is the best time to shed and let go. Are there negative patterns that you’re clinging to? This is a time to reap th...
