I have been on this earth - for 24 years, and I've learnt quite a lot of things. One of these things is that you should not kill yourself for other people.

Processes

Hey there, it's been quite a while...

Life has been happening in large waves, and I've been an optimistic student learning all I can in the process. Something I learned is what I'll be discussing on this post - and in subsequent beautiful posts to come. If you didn't know it before, Life is really a bunch of process put together, happening in sync and creating a beautiful product.

There's this thing that I've noticed about blog readers.
A lot of people don't really comment - and by a lot, I mean 98% of people.
....

Okay, I must confess...
I'm twisting the figure. It's actually more like 99.9999%

Teach Our Boys to be BOYS

[4 min read]

It is a common saying on most, if not all social media platforms that "Men are scum." Well, personally, I know quite a number of men who are not scum. For various reasons men have become scum to women or rather the entire female populace. I do not disagree with the men are scum theme song actually; personal experiences and very true life stories have made me believe at several intervals that men are indeed the scummiest of the scum. But the problem is that everyone can be a scum at any given time, but that is a story for another time.

Hi Everyone!
Welcome to the month of May.

Believe me you'll love this. Plantain is that food item that never goes wrong. If you don't like plantain, like are you even from this planet? Okay just kidding but as a matter of fact, plantains are close to the heart.

Personally i love them in any form; boiled, fried, roasted, pottage form (if you want to know how this is made, drop hints in the comment section 😁) ,chipped, baked, burnt. Okay scratch out the last part, if you burn my plantains, we are over.

Be nice to everyone you meet, they are fighting a battle you know nothing about

- Unknown

Maybe... instead of telling people they are flawless, and perfect the way they are, we should tell them that they could be better.

I've seen quite a great number of people who are self-obsessed with their own opinions, especially with positive reinforcement from online quotes about how you should not care what anyone says about you, and how you should not give an "F" word.

DEFEATED NOT - EPISODE 2

[3 min read]

I knew Mrs. Hadiza was lying when she told us months before about the economy’s recession in the country, and how it was difficult for most families to get by, and that was why the ration of food served to us reduced virtually by half and we ate more of egg - how I hated boiled egg. I hoped I would not have to eat boiled egg anymore when I got to my new home anyways. 

My suspicions were however confirmed when Miss. Bola called me aside one day after lunch. I did not know what to feel actually because whenever anyone was called aside after lunch it meant the person had done a bad thing and must read a chapter of the Bible while writing down whatever she learns from the chapter and not only that, but gets to discuss during the night devotion whatever it was she learnt, so there was no escaping it. I really did not like reading the bible, because it was complex to understand. 

BANKSTATEMENTS POST 5

RIGHT  DOWN THE MIDDLE


Hi @bankstatements18.

I'm in a long distance relationship with a guy that really loves me but then I don't think I know what love is.

First and foremost, we are of different tribes and denominations.. I'm Catholic and my dad is strongly against me moving to another church.. Worst of all, marrying into this particular tribe he's from will be a big problem.

Where Were You?

WHERE WERE YOU

Kelechi Nwa-Uwa

Where were you when she needed you?

When she cried desperately for your attention?

When depression reared its ugly head?

When you were all she had left?

Did you even hear her call out for you?

Did you care?

Did her gradual withdrawal even occur to you?

Did you notice the tear streaks? Red eyes?

The cracked voice? The broken spirit?
