ON BECOMING 57

Image
I pledge to Nigeria my country To be faithful loyal and honest To serve our father land With love and strength and faith The labour of our hero's past Shall never be in vain To serve with heart and might One nation bound in freedom Peace and unity So goes the National pledge of our beloved country. I was born here, on this land, with a heritage that introduces me to the world. Nigeria has well over 200 ethnic groups and culture. We pride ourselves as the " Giant of Africa". We are so rich in oil, crude, cocoa, rubber, cotton, granite etc. Our landmark itself is history. We have seen and had so many hero's past. Some as living legends some as past hero's. Undivided we stand. Right from existence God's love has always been evident to us. We rarely have the Landslide, Tsunami, Earthquake, Hurricane, Flooding natural disasters which other country live with. God loves us so much! On this day, we should all reflect on our achievements and shortcoming...

MATTERS OF THE HEART

Image
The heart is a very fragile organ of the body. It's that key factor that glues the body system together in coordination. It has to be treated with love and care. This days, I see so many young adults and adults throwing caution to the wind and bearing it all. I mean there is a saying that says " guide your heart jealously ". The matters of the heart includes:- 1. Heartbreak 2.insufficient love 3. Lack of communication 4. Trust issues 5. Vain gain 6. Lack of affection, Care, attention. See any relationship without adequate dosage of all these ingredients will eventually hit the rock if not properly handled. I am a pioneer of love. I am a sucker for love. I love love and that's why I pride myself as a good teacher on such topic. It's not just enough to mouth the words, do more to put these words into action. I think Nigerian men are quite backwards with handling a woman's heart. And I am not saying the woman is a saint, far from it. See, if a per...

THE I LOVE YOU THEOREM

Image
Alot of people go into a relationship with this idea in their heads " he/she said * I love you*. The magic word that melts all mountains in their hearts but how many relationship actually survive and thrive on this theory? Your guess is as good as mine, None. That he/she sings I love you praise and worship sweet nonsense to your ears should not be the only reason you go into a relationship with them. Take for instance, he/she said I love you and you knowing well he/she is a serial liar and cheat and you starts basking in the euphoria of that word not minding who they really are? I am sorry for your heart. Most times people will say almost about anything just to win you over, that they say the magic word is not enough room for you to DOWNPLAY your STANDARDS. Be wise. Thread with caution. Use your brain. If a person really loves you it should be unquantifiable, without bias. See I have seen and felt enough as an adult to be a judge on such topic and I tell you "I love yo...

HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING: FIND OUT 5 WAYS!

Image
Problems. We all have them. Some are small, others are big. But whatever life is throwing our way, the one thing remains true: We think about them. We think about solutions and worries, whether it’s productive or not. However, sometimes this thinking can become so constant that it’s impossible to stop. But if we want to take action in our lives and live in the moment, we need to learn to stop it. The problem that we’ve all experienced, however, is that the harder we try to stop thinking, the more intense our thinking becomes. So, what can we do? Check out the below 5 strategies to help you stop overthinking so you can start living. 1) Practice present moment awareness using mindfulness A 2007 study called “Mindfulness meditation reveals distinct neural modes of self-reference” by Norman Farb at the University of Toronto, broke new ground in our understanding of mindfulness from a neuroscience perspective. They found that humans have two different sets of networks...

THE VOICE IN THE TUNNEL

Image
In a world full of mysteries. So much suffering and poverty. A world filled with different ethnic and ethnicity. So much love to offer yet accorded with hate. It becomes so hard to stand out and make a difference. To stand for the truth come rain come sunshine. It becomes difficult for you to see the right thing and point it out because every one is on the opposite direction. I was chatting with a close pal some days ago on a particular issue and to say my respect for her dropped from 100 to nil is an understatement. It was obvious she was avoiding the truth though it was totally clear what the truth was. I realized people only choose to believe in what they like. What makes them feel good and relevant. What they think is the truth. After several back and forth with her I just stopped responding to her. And I am sure I won't be talking to her again. See, if you know the right path, follow it a lot of people in their thousands may be going the other direction. It might be...

WHEN THE LOVE GOES SOUR

Image
You know how you always want to be with someone you love? How everything they do seems perfect? You practically live through each day mesmerized by their love but when this changes then you've got to open your eyes and see this changes We all face this at some point. Practically all of us. Could be someone new person in the background stealing the spotlight or someone who hasn't let go re-kindling old fire How do I know the love isn't what it used to be? 1. When you call and he doesn't pick( it could be for some other reason) 2. When nothing you say seems funny to him 3. When you chat him up and he reads without replying 4. When he gives excuses on promises made 5. When he refuses to talk after an argument, quarrel, fight, misunderstanding 6. When he starts seeing faults that normally don't count 7. When he gives more attention to other people 8. When he knows exactly what to do to make you  not angry yet he doesn't 9. When he doesn't return...

HOW COVERED ARE YOU?

Hi guys, so I have been away for some days. I have been occupied with the holidays but I am back! Today I will be discussing an important issue. A lot of people will not buy into my idea but this is my own stance and I wish to share it with you guys.... There is something called "Baba Isale" in yoruba language speaking tribe of Nigeria. This baba isale is someone you look up to, someone you run to when in need, someone that supports you in all you do. This person helps you in all areas even politically, economically and the likes. In business there is something called insurance, now I do not have so much knowledge of business and how this insurance works but I know it's a sort of covering on one's life or property incase of death or accident. Now, because you have someone like this in your life( baba isale), you become firm. You become bold. Nothing bothers you any longer solely because you have someone that has your back at all times! We've all been b...
