What I do
WRITER & PUBLISHER
I am convinced that the Christian worldview is the truth about reality. So I explore this as it applies to every sphere of life, be it business, our work, relationships, politics, and (almost) everything. And yes, I deal a lot with theology and Biblical doctrines, for that is the foundation.

EDITOR & proofreader
Since childhood, I have loved books and practically any printed material. In line with this (and maybe as a result!), I was something of a nitpicker or almost-perfectionist. I ‘see’ errors and typos. I cringe when I notice a wrongly used verb or adverb. My blood boils (OK, not literally) when I come across a post or article that is too wordy or is poorly written. But rather than just sit on a lofty pedestal arrogantly condemning people’s faults, wisdom teaches otherwise. I see it as God’s call to help people write better and communicate clearly. And that is what I have been doing.
My main target is (I use a singular verb because I consider my audience as one group) writers, publishers, and organizations. I work on non-fiction prose content, including books, articles, posts, web content, etc. This means while I love reading poetry and some fiction, I normally don’t edit or proofread them for people. My service is excellent and you will find me delightful to work with. That’s a guarantee!
Customer service advocate
I am a passionate Customer Service advocate! I have written a unique and essential primer on the subject (buy it at https://selar.co/2yg1). For over 10 years, I have been privileged to serve customers from different industries and also lead other service representatives in doing likewise. I envision a world driven by service, and I am inspiring and equipping individuals and organizations to create that world. I currently offer training sessions (physical and online) based on my book to small businesses, young customer service professionals (0-3 years’ experience), and other organizations.
My Writings
Brethren, Pray for Nigeria
Since the beginning of the year, I have followed the schedule for praying for the nations of the earth as published by Operation World. Today, I get to pray for my own country, Nigeria. Nigeria is a special and strategic country in Africa. This is not an attempt at nationalistic pride; it is a fact. … Continue reading Brethren, Pray for Nigeria
No one is Self-made
2 Chronicles 27:6 speaks to every person seeking to achieve great things: “Jotham grew powerful because he walked steadfastly before the LORD his God. “(NIV) The source of his greatness was clear. It was from God. And he needed to learn this. His father Uzziah was a great king who became proud and eventually died … Continue reading No one is Self-made
