The Economy of Dreams


"Knowledge will enrich you, but only action will turn it into riches." 
- Darren Hardy




Many of us have side hobbies which we do to engage ourselves, not just for enjoyment - in and of itself, but also fulfillment. We dream of being actors, being music artistes, painters, writers, racecar drivers, astronauts or even the most popular - doctors and lawyers.

But how many of us choose to follow our dreams and become what we want to be?

WHAT THE RICH DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW ABOUT MONEY


By Ndu-okeke Michael
 Like all typical Nigerian parents will say, “study hard so you can get good grades and a good job afterwards”;  Most of us grew up with the notion that a good job after school is the key to the good life we have always dreamt of.

The Odenigbo Experience: The Intellectual and Cultural Festival



Many people may have heard about the Odenigbo festival, many people may not. All in all, I just decided to use this medium to share a little light on my experience today on the “Intellectual and Cutural Festival” aspect which I attended.

So…..I was asked to go to this festival thing by my dear mother today. She said it was an Intellectual Cultural festival. It was meant to be part of a larger festival named the “Odenigbo” held in Owerri every year. I have a very limited amount of information on it at the moment however, so I will refrain on speaking on matters I do not know a lot about. In this day and age, the end result would be that I’d end up throwing controversy on myself if that were the case.

DC vs Marvel


Hello everyone…..

Now this article might be a little esoteric for people who aren’t either; in my generation of youths or below, or interested in comics/superheroes. As you know – My blog tries to focus on a world view, which is why I have many diverse articles ranging from Chatting and Beauty to Politics.

So…..let us begin :D

The Thankless


I’m sure at some point or time in your life you’ve been faced with a situation, occupation or task in which you put in TREMENDOUS effort and a large amount of your time to achieve the maximum potential of your results can get – all for it to mean so little to the people who either view it or the people you did it for. Not a thank you, not a clap, not a single naira note in your hand for it….

Truthfully, sometimes - It’s painful to be unappreciated. It hurts when you or your work isn’t recognized. But sometimes the work we do isn’t done necessarily because we’re looking for some grand form of appreciation or applause, but simply because it’s a good thing to do – the right thing even.

When Girls Ask For Credit....



Ever met a cute, nice looking girl and start talking to her? She seems mostly uninterested, or maybe she's friendly. You think to yourself;  You're on your way to making a new friend, and then BAM!!!

She asks you to send her credit to buy 5gb data plan. Like magic. You, that barely has enough to buy credit to call your own blood sister.

It's sad how a lot of girls these days are just learning ways to exploit guys interest the wrong way. A friend of mine was happily telling us the other day, (when i was in 100 level) how his sister regularly collects credit from the boys who keep calling/contacting her. Something I could NEVER encourage my own sister, or even daughter, to begin, let alone praise her for it. You might not like these things I'm saying at all, but the truth of the matter is - we boys aren't piggy banks and you girls aren't sex toys.

Ten things to never do in Nigeria

This is a short list describing several (actually just 10 :P ) things you should probably never try doing in good ol' Naija. Not just for your sake, or ours too. We have a reputation you know.... :| A good one..... i mean.



1. Buy ****D Shawarma:
Honestly? There are some shawarmas that exist in this world that if you had eaten or tried them first, your love for shawarmas would be sorely inexistent, This type happens to be one of the traitors to that tasty shawarmas name. I have recently changed the name of the institution which offers this shawarma. Those of you who know me will know it all shaa....


2. Buy a pink jeep

DO I even really have to expatiate? On a normal day sef....why would you?! But why.... :(


3. Laugh at a native doctors relatives. (Unless of course if you're a very strong Christian. But then if you were why exactly would you be laughing at a native doctors familia? )

Fashion!!


“Dress cute wherever you go. Life is too short to blend in.” Paris Hilton



By Elizabeth T Peters

Fashion Fashion Fashion!

What is it? Dictionary wise, fashion can be described as “a prevailing custom or style of dress”, but to me, that doesn’t give fashion its due value. In my humble opinion, I would say fashion is more than just a custom; it’s a definition of yourself before you get to say a word. Your fashion speaks; it commands respect or attracts insults - or neither to be very honest.

So you want to go to a birthday dinner and it’s a really chic restaurant and the crowd you’re going with is wonderful. All fine and dandy but what will you wear? This is when key considerations come into play, I’ll walk you through them.

Madonna, Madonna












Madonna, Madonna, my dear alma mater
Still round about, with chatter and clatter
Sandals that squeak, and shoes that groan
And senior students, of whom juniors moan

Madonna, Madonna, my school home of past
How the times have passed, and so very fast
The mistakes and misfortunes, we all passed through
Forget any one, we never will do

The Meaning of Life


"...Meaning does not lie in things. Meaning lies in us.” | Marianne Williamson

"Life is many things, but above all others, it is the chance you've been waiting for." | Robert Brault




Philosophers, sages and bored teenagers throughout history have examined a critical and sometimes controversial question that has churned out an innumerable multiplex of theories and philosophies over the years.

This question is...

"What is the meaning of life." 


I'm obviously not referring to either the definition seen in the Oxford dictionary or the one given by romanian pop twins in one of my earlier articles ie "Touch my bum. This is life"
