Be Known For Peace.
Unity is needed to navigate life. We all need to be united. I've met a lot of people that are not from my tribe, race, or family, and not of my color but whenever I meet people, I always try my best to make peace with them. I am a lover of peace. I so much love peace and I can never trade anything for my peace. Why am I saying this? Presently, I am in my sister's boyfriend's place. I love the way he relates with everyone in the house. I love the way they all relate with each other in the house. It is a very good feeling when someone you don't know but you meet for the first time greets you well and relates with you well. I met a guy there and he greeted me well. He made me feel like the human being that I am. And you will meet other people who will make you feel less than human. It's not fair! I love how united they are in the house. They eat together, cook together, have fun together, do parties and all. It's a good thing.
Let's go to the house that I live in. I don't like there. We don't talk to each other, we don't greet each other. Most of them are always forming big for each other. Honestly, I don't like it. There's nothing wrong with us having fun together as housemates. I don't feel like leaving my sister's boyfriend's house because I felt good again. I just relocated to that area and it's been a while since I related with people the way I used to. It happens in some areas too. They are not united. Imagine if there is an emergency or if there is information to share amongst themselves. How will they do it? Nothing beats unity. I always believe that my housemates are my second family. If something happens to me, they will be the ones I will call on even before calling my family members. They are just like my first aid. Is it that some people don't think about this? Some people act like they don't care. Some people act like they need no other human being in life. Some people act like they are enough for themselves and they can live on earth without people. We need ourselves!!! If you fail to make peace, you may not get to your destined life. You need me, I need you!
Be united with the people around you. Make peace with them. I know some people that have no friends or someone they talk to in their area because of bad behavior. They have fought with almost everyone in the area and they are seen as troublesome people. People like that are already known as infuriating people. People like that destroy every peaceful activity in the area. It is not supposed to be so. You should be a loveable person in society.
Wherever you are, you should be known for peace and not for trouble. Make peace❤💯
It's A Good Day.
I've been having good days lately. Everything is just going on well and smoothly. I am in love with September. I wrote an article at the beginning of this month. I began to see beautiful signs at the beginning of this month. And it made me write about September. I titled it "September Is Beautiful". It's indeed a beautiful one for me and I must say that it is the second-best month of this year. The best has always been July😅. Is any July born in the house? Let's gather here together.
If you have been reading my articles lately, you will know about my daily activities. I acted on stage yesterday and I had a wonderful performance. It was a very beautiful one. Everything is just working out well for me.
Yesterday was my sister's boyfriend's birthday. He has been so good to me so I got him a belt because he always gets me something on my birthday and every other day. So, I helped my sister to deliver the cake, frame, six yards of cloth, and palm slippers. She went for an interview so she could not be with him in the morning. When I delivered the gifts, he gave me money and drove me to work.
Last night, I got a message on WhatsApp. It was from him. He thanked me for yesterday and told me he would take me out today. My sister didn't get back home last night because she was with him. I slept all alone. This afternoon, I got a call from him to come to his place so that we can go wherever we wanted to go.
When I got there, we hopped in the car. We visited three locations. We first stopped at Kilimanjaro. It's a very popular restaurant in Nigeria. When we got there, I ordered Jollof Rice, Fried Rice, and Chicken. It was great!!! My stomach was too full and I could not stand up. We rested there for some minutes.
When we finished resting, we went to Domino's Pizza. We bought Pizza and Coldstone. The Pizza was not sweet. I didn't like it. All of us didn't like it but we stepped it down with Coldstone Ice cream. I'm sure that a lot of us have tasted Coldstone Ice cream. It's very nice. What I love most about it are the Ice cream toppings. It gives it a very lovely taste and makes us to be able to much something while drinking the Ice Cream.
When we left there, we went to Ace mall. It's a very popular mall in Bodija Ibadan, Nigeria. We got some of the things we need at home. Things like insecticide, perfume, roll-on, and some biscuits. We drove back home and had fun while listening to music.
I'm sorry I could not post the pictures. I barely take pictures outside.
At the end of it all, It's a good day.
I'm Proud Of Myself.
What's wrong with Africans and time? There's something we call African time. What is African time? It is a popular slang amongst Africans. It is mostly known that Africans get late to the venue whenever they have something to do. Africans get late to the venue, start programs late, get to interview late, and do everything when it's late. We were asked to get to the studio by 7:00 am. I also got there late. The amazing thing is that none of us came early. We all got there late. I got there two hours late. I'm sorry about that. Also, the stage play is supposed to start by 10:00 am. I already told my friends that are coming that it was 10:00 am so I expected them to be at the venue by 10:00 am or 11:00 am. Unfortunately, we didn't start until 1:00 pm. It's crazy, right? Another crazy thing is that the audience came late. Most of them got there an hour late or some minutes late. At the end of the day, everyone got to the venue late.
We started the show with musical performances. We had seven songs to perform and I lead the one which I composed by myself. I sang very well but it was not the best performance. Why is that so? It's because I could not manage the stage. I was a bit nervous. The lady whose performance is always poor in class is the best performer today. Things change and the table turns around. That's interesting. After the musical performance, we all went to the changing room to wear costumes for the stage play. We waited for about ten minutes for more audiences to come around before we could start the show. When we got more audiences, we started. I'm the first person to climb the stage. As the first actor on the stage, I tried not to be nervous. I got it!!!! I began to act well and I guess I motivated my fellow actors to act well. I gave it a good start. I was impressed with the way I started and the play continued. It's going on well.
I'm impressed by the way we all acted. A friend of mine forgot his lines and I was able to cover up for him. He forgot his lines a lot of times but a guy was able to cover up for almost everything. I like that! We skipped some parts but we were able to continue the at without making the audience know that we made mistakes in some parts. We were able to cover up for ourselves. That's one power of teamwork. We all have to do it to get the positive result that we foresee. There were no arguments about forgetting a line or not. We finished the play happily and our audience was proud of us. Our lecturers were around and some actors in the city so they had to comment on our performances. They commented on everyone's performances. We had like six to seven judges and we all know that their comments will be different from each other. It means that they will see our performances from different angles but something surprised me.
They all saw my performance from one angle. All they could say is that I did well. At the end of the day, I became the talk of the show. I took the shine from every other person. I felt like a celebrity and some viewers called me after the show to congratulate me. At the end of the day, I did well. My performance was exceptional. One thing that amazed the crowd was that I acted very well even though I was given a male role. I talked like a man, walked like a man, and also gave all attributes of a man. A lot of people thought I would not be able to do it because I'm always talking like the girl that I am. I have a female voice that a normal female should have. But as an actor, I was able to act and give them the man in me. This made a lot of people commend me because the role is very hard and I also had too many lines. I acted on the stage from the beginning of the show to the end of the show without forgetting a single lone. I'm not the best but I'm very good at what I do.
I'm an actor!
I'm proud of myself!
It's Raw Talent.
I'm here again. I'm feeling very tired while writing this but I can't hide the joy in me. Presently, there's no one to talk to by my side. Who can I express my feelings to? I can express it to you all. I can express it to my readers, followers, subscribers, and fans. Today is another wonderful day in my life. I think I have mentioned it here that I will be having a stage play on September 16, 2022. It's happening tomorrow and I'm very excited about it. My mates are excited too. The most exciting thing there is the theatre we want to use. We got there today and I saw how beautiful it was.
Have you ever seen a stage play? Have you ever acted in a stage play? If yes, kudos to you. We're on the same page. If not, I think you need to go to the theatre to see a stage play. I'm very sure you will come back to me and thank me for recommending a stage play to you. It's more interesting than watching a movie at the cinema. Stage play requires a lot of energy, full concentration, and proper blocking. I'm sure you are wondering what blocking I am talking about. On stage, you don't stay anywhere anyhow. You have to stand in a position according to the lines in your script. You gotta have your movement in your head. Everything done on the stage needs to be rehearsed properly.
We had this rehearsal for three weeks. Normally, if you're having a stage play, you should rehearse some months before so that you'll understand fully. It's so amazing that we rehearsed for three weeks and we are acting well. Today, we went to the theatre we would use for the play tomorrow. We went there to rehearse to know our exits, the entrance, curtain call, and all. While acting, my partner forgot so many lines and I was able to cover up for him. I just became a theatre practitioner a few months ago and I know that already. As a novice, I'm supposed to stop the play but I tried to cover up a lot of times. When we finished the play, my lecturer commended me in the presence of everyone and told me that I'm very good at this. I felt so good. I love that feeling. He asked everyone to clap for me. I felt like a celebrity already. What a good feeling!
We took a break and started the play again. We acted the play twice for our lecturer to be sure that we know the play already. While acting for the second time? So many people made mistakes and I tried to cover up for them too. I'm not doing that because I want people to see that I'm very good at it but because it's group work and it must come out well. When we finished for the second time and he began to thank everyone. He revealed that while I was acting, he went outside to tell my other colleagues that I'm very good at it. I felt good! I know I did so well and I pray that I do better tomorrow. Tomorrow is the deal day and I have to give in my best. In the end, everyone clapped for me again. I know I tried. It's not very common for a novice to do what I did today. I did well and I'm proud of myself. I wish my parents could be around tomorrow to see their product but the distance wouldn't let them.
Presently, I'm taking a rest so that I will perform well tomorrow. I would have loved to sleep in my school hostel but I won't be focused. All I need is to eat well, and rest well so that I will give it my best.
Though, I learnt this but I am talented. This is raw talent!!! No matter how talented you are, you need to learn more about your skills to make you a champion.
It's talent and I know my talent will feed me someday. I'm sure that I'll do well tomorrow by the special grace of Jah!
Remember, it's raw talent.
Water Is Needed In Life.
In African land, it is believed that we came to this world with goodness and the bad side too. The goodness is the baby while the bad side is the placenta. This means that no matter how good you are in life, you'll always have someone who dislikes you. One thing I've learnt is that not everyone will like you and you can't like everyone. It's a normal thing. But there's one thing we all can never do without. You should know it even before I tell you what it is. I'm talking about water. We all can't do without water in life. Water is life itself!!
As I said earlier, we all have enemies but water does not have enemies. A popular afro music singer named Fela Anikulapo Kuti. He's late now. He has a song titled 'Water E No Get Enemy. I'm sure you're wondering how I typed the title. That's pidgin language. It's like the English language but it's one of the popular languages in Nigeria. He mentioned so many things about the water. He made it known that water has no enemy.
Let's start by talking about the uses of water. Can you go for a day without the use of water? It's not possible. When you wake up in the morning, you have to drink water. What's the essence? It helps to clear your throat. When you drink water in the morning, it will clear your throat and flush the dirt in your body system. Have you ever noticed that your pee looks colorful in the morning? Normally, our pee is supposed to be colorless but when you drink water in the morning, it will be colorful because the water has flushed the dirt in your body system.
How do you take your bath? We all know it's not possible to use your pee to bathe 😅. We need water to bathe. We can't bathe without the use of water. It's not possible!!! What do you use to wash your clothes? You need water. You can't wash your clothes without water. You need water to wash your clothes! Even if you want to wash your plates, you need water. Do you want to brush your teeth? You need water!
How do you feel when rain falls? I feel very good. The rain makes me feel so good. Imagine that you are with your lover while the rain is falling. Having some cuddles and kisses, sweet touches and caress. Only the power of rain can make you feel so good about it. What is rain? It is water!
I know too much of cold drinks are not good but have you ever drank water after getting home from under a hot sun? If yes, how do you feel? I feel cool. I feel the coolness of the water inside me.
I only mentioned the basic things we use water for. Also, water is good for our health.
In a nutshell, we need water for our everyday activities.
Don't Be Like The Previous Me.
I've been using Sweatcoin for a few months now and it's been great until I found out something a few days ago. As I was told, Sweatcoin pays you to walk. Though I don't take a walk because of Sweatcoin. This is because I go out almost every day and I take so many steps.
Sometimes, I take up to twenty thousand steps in a day. There are times that I will travel very far from home and it will keep counting. I do that every day but I log into my Sweatcoin application every morning before going out. With this, I believe that I'm already mining the coin.
One thing I noticed is that my coin does not add up or increase. It has always been the same number ever since I claimed the first bonus. I spoke to someone about it and he told me that I've not been claiming my daily bonus. I felt very bad because if I decide to calculate all the steps I've taken, I should have close to or more than one million steps. I've been using Sweatcoin for over six months and if I can take more than ten thousand steps in a day, I should have more than a thousand Sweatcoin.
I felt bad and began to mine the coun again. One thing happens to me and I don't know if it applies to you too. I feel tired of something whenever I've been doing it and my efforts seem to be futile. I felt sad that I have been a fool for a long. Anyway, I'll start all over again.
What caused this?
I do most things in haste. There are many times that I skip so many things because I don't want to wait. What's chasing me? I rush too much. Have you ever met someone who does all of his things in haste? If yes, how do they behave? How do they handle their things? It will be rough.
It's one bad habit that I have and I am trying to stop it. I'm learning so hard to stop rushing in everything that I do. It's not helping me and it has landed me in trouble so many times. Even while writing exams, I'm always rushing. I don't even cross-check what I write. Even while chatting online with my friends, I rush, and at the end of the day, I'll realize that I've typed rubbish.
There are so many times that I do things and expect the result immediately and I know it's not possible. I left a lot of things because I could not get the result that I wanted very fast. I've changed so much and I'm happy about that.
I'm not cool with the behavior and I'm glad I've changed. Please, if you have this same attitude, stop it. Also, don't be like the previous me!
Why People Engage In Relationships.
I would have loved to ask if you are in a relationship but it seems that almost everyone is in a relationship. It's a bit hard to find someone who is not in a relationship. If the person is not in a relationship, it means that he or she is suffering from heartbreak, scared of being in a relationship due to heartbreak, and some other reasons that I can't remember. I guess it's a relationship world😅.
Why do we engage in relationships? I think the major reason is sex. Let me give an example. The first thing a man sees in a lady is her beauty. Her face, shape, sexy dress, and all of that. This can make the man like her and ask her to be his girlfriend. Gradually, he may begin to like her attitude and they begin to get serious. Sharing things, advising each other, being there for each other, and all other things that happen in a relationship.
All other reason comes second. People also engage in relationships because they need a companion. They need someone that they can always talk to. They need someone that they can call 'theirs'. They need someone with that they can grow together. They need someone that can be there for them even when every other person leaves. That's another reason while another reason comes third.
Do these reasons apply to this generation? I don't think so. I'll talk based on what is presently happening in my country. I've not been to other countries so let me talk about my country. I've seen a lot of young girls in a relationship. Some of them even have the mind to double date. Anyway, it may be cool to them and they may give a relevant reason for their action.
One major reason why girls date in my country is because of money. Yes! We need money but a lot of people have used that as a yardstick to being in a relationship. It's in two ways and I'll explain. Most girls claim to love a man because they are getting some amount of money from him, going out with him and spending his money, collecting expensive gifts from the man, and all other things that money can do to hold the relationship. The funniest thing is that while all of these are going on, the lady does not support with a dime.
Some ladies believe that as long as they let the man sleep with them, he is supposed to take care of them financially. That's like prostitution. Isn't it? That's the major reason you'll see girls in relationships these days and they are proud of these actions.
I feel so much pity for men. Why? Because they are going to get married to these ladies. No matter how much you try to avoid it, you will marry them because the majority of the ladies out there have this attitude. One thing I know about marriage is that the man can't do it alone. If you can't reciprocate your partner's action, your relationship can't be balanced. I learnt from my mom that a woman has to support her husband in marriage.
A man can't do it all. He needs a woman by him. That's why God has created us. We're to support the men. Imagine you dating a man because of money and you leave when he's broke, you date another one and still leave when he's broke and you continue your lifestyle that way. That's the lifestyle of a gold digger💯.
We need to change this. I can't sleep with someone that I feel nothing for. I can't let that happen. I can't date someone I don't like and I still can't date someone that can't cater to my responsibilities. As long as he can cater to my responsibility and he's trying hard, I'll support him to make his dreams happy too.
Don't be stingy in a relationship. Always think about your partner!
Nyctophobia.
Yesterday, I pondered on some issues. I asked if it feels the same over there. Luckily for me, it feels the same. It means that I am on the right track and I'm very okay. The only thing that could make me sad yesterday is if other people don't feel the same. I'm glad you did. So, I thought of bringing up this too. This is something I have always had from small. I think I nurtured myself that way. Anyway, let me share it with you.
I know we all have heard the word 'phobia'. As we know, it means the fear of something. Whatever it is that you are scared of is known as phobia. There are different things that people are scared of. Some people are scared of heights, water and so many things that you could never imagine. You know we're different people and it means that it is very possible for us to like different things, dislike different things, or even have a phobia for different things.
As for me, 'Nyctophobia' is one of my greatest fear. What is Nyctophobia? Nyctophobia is known as the fear of darkness. I'm dealing with this presently. I've been dealing with it from small but I never thought of making it stop due to no reason. I didn't just think about that. Also, I have suffered so much from this and I'm still suffering from it. Is this how I would continue to suffer from Nyctophobia?
As a result of Nyctophobia, I can't sleep alone at night. Whenever I say this to people, they laugh at me. I wish they understand how I feel. I live with my sister. Whenever she does not sleep home at night, I wouldn't enjoy my sleep. I will always be awake at midnight with my torch light on. I'll keep perambulating all through the house. This happens to me a lot. But one thing I've realized is, that when I sleep alone, I'll sleep off and wake up the next morning. Nothing bad will happen to me.
I may be the first person that you're hearing this from. I used to think that if I sleep alone, something bad will happen to me. I don't know how that has been able to stick in my head since I was a little child. But I've always slept off in darkness and nothing bad happened. The only time I can have a wonderful night's rest is when I sleep beside someone. If not, I wouldn't sleep.
This is so painful. I wish I had a phobia of something else but not night. For example, if I have a phobia of heights, this may happen once in a while. That's when I visit a very tall building or something. But look at the night. It visits us every day😪. And whenever someone is not by my side, the phobia will be awakened 😪. Please what do I do to stop this? If you have any ideas, I'll follow them. Please🙏.
A Visit To The Zoo.
What is a zoo? It is a place that is established in mostly a garden or a park and full of wild animals for study or for people to see. The zoo is one of the major places that you can visit when you feel like going out. I don't think you can ever be bored while visiting the zoo. Also, I've not been to every part of the world but I am pretty sure that every country has its zoo. I'm a Nigerian. Here in Nigeria, we have over fifteen zoos. This means that you can easily get a zoo around your location or somewhere that is very close to you. Also, we have zoos in some universities in Nigeria. It is majorly for students who study zoology and also for public display.
What are the animals we can see in a zoo? Remember that I said you can only find wild animals in the zoo. And I'm pretty sure that we know either one or two wild animals. I'm talking about Lion, Tigers, Snakes, Crocodiles, Alligators, Monkeys e.t.c. I included Monkeys because not all Monkeys are domestic. Some of these Monkeys are wild and they are not supposed to be in human midst. Have you ever heard about any Monkey that caused harm for a human being? There are sometimes that we hear stories of Monkeys being violent to human beings. That's the kind of Monkey I'm talking about. An example is Patas Monkey.
What animals did I see yesterday? Immediately I gained entrance to the zoo, they took us to where the snakes are. We saw different kinds of snakes. We saw Cobra, Python, Black Mamba, and Corn Snake. They were put inside the glass so that they won't harm us. I learnt that Corn snakes are the most friendly snakes in the world. Some people even use them as pet snakes. It's the kind of snake that people put around their neck and it won't do anything bad to them. We went on to see some wild Monkeys. That's where I saw Patas monkey and others. I took a rest by sitting in the garden. The garden is very big and I easily got tired. So, I sat for a few minutes.
We went on to see the apes. I went to see the gorilla. Gorilla is fun to be with. I met a guy there. He was playing with the Gorilla. The Gorilla was mimicking the guy by doing everything he does. I was surprised. I guess they feel intimidated because they look like us so they want to prove in all ways that they can behave like us. Why are Gorillas called wild animals? I read that they are very aggressive and friendly. It means that they switch😅. Still, in the ape department, I saw a baboon. He didn't even look at us. He was sitting gently in a corner. We tried to make him move close to us but our efforts were futile.
I also saw a Giraffe. It's indeed the tallest animal in the world. It is taller than the cage where they put it. He brought out his tongue. It was very black. Beside it was an Ostrich. The Ostrich is also tall. It was running around its cage and moved closer when he first saw us. Also, we went to the family of cats. Tiger is an animal I've been longing to see but I didn't see it because they do not have a tiger in the zoo. We saw a Lion. I guess because Lion is one of the strongest animals in the world, it was given a special place. They built a house for it and caged the house 😅. That's very crazy😅.
I also saw a Donkey. I was fascinated by the snake, lion, ostrich, giraffe, and gorilla so I forgot to take pictures of other animals in the compound.
It was a beautiful trip. I enjoyed myself and I enjoyed my stay at the zoo. I would love to visit the zoo again but I will be very selective. I'd make research to know any Nigerian zoo that has a Tiger. God knows I wish to see a Tiger. I know a lot of us have visited the zoo. Please, which other animal didn't I see so that I'll go to a zoo that has the animal.
*All photos were taken by me😊.
Check If Any Of These Has Happened To You.
I'm sorry for not publishing last night. I had a stressful day which resulted in body pain. Then I wanted to try to publish an article very late at night but I plugged my phone and it was not charging. I was devastated. I began to force the charger into the phone but it was still a negative result. It didn't charge. I slept off angrily because the charging port hindered me from doing a lot of things. My battery was flat so I could not do anything. I went to the engineer this morning and he fixed it for me already. The price was equal to $3. I charged my phone for a few minutes before coming to write this article. It's not full yet but I can't go a day without visiting readcash. God knows I won't forgive myself.
Let's go to the main topic to see if this is a general issue or if I'm the one having a problem. I will be talking about how I feel when I brush my teeth without breakfast in the morning, how I feel when I eat breakfast, how I feel when I walk in the hot sun and how I feel when I was awoken from my sleep.
Have you ever felt hungry after brushing your teeth? This happens to me a lot. If I brush my teeth without having what to eat in the morning, I will feel hungry and sick throughout the day. My stomach will be reacting in ways that I cannot even explain. So what I do is that I cook before brushing. So when I have what to eat, I will just brush and eat immediately. And if I'm rushing out, I'll use little toothpaste so that my stomach won't give me bad vibes. If it happened to you, I'm sure you'd know how to explain it better. I guess everyone knows one or two people who feel this way. So, share with me😊.
Do you fall asleep after breakfast? I read an article and the person asked if we fall asleep after eating. I replied to the article and said yes. Now, I gave it a second thought. It's not all the time that I eat that I will feel dizzy. Most times, I feel dizzy whenever I just had breakfast. Eating breakfast makes me feel sleepy. I don't know why it happens to me. I'm not pregnant or ill but it happens to me every time. It happens mostly when I'm relaxed. This happens to my mum and sis very well. Let's take the family trait away. I came to ask you now. Do you fall asleep after breakfast?
Do you have a headache while trekking under the hot sun? I think this should be due to health. I don't know. I'm just suggesting. The only time I can decide to go out in the afternoon is if I'm forced to go out or if I'm going to do something important. Also, you can see me outside in the afternoon if I'm going back home from work. I will never wait a minute at work because of the sun. My home is my happy place so I'm always eager to go home. I realized that whenever I walk under the sun, I always have a headache. Does the same thing apply to you? Let me know, please.
Does your heart palpitate when you're been awoken from sleep? This happens to me a lot. I dislike it when someone disturbed my sleep. A lot of people mistake it for pride but I understand that they don't know how I feel. I began to ask people and some people gave the same response that they feel that way too. I don't know the reason because I have never taken my time to find out. I will do that. If it happens to me and it happens to some of the people I know then it should happen to some of you. Don't be shy. We are sharing ideas. Let me know of your heart palpitates when you're awoken from sleep. Also, if you feel like you have the solution to it, Let me know🙏
Now check if any of these has happened to you.
Remember, we're sharing ideas. Also, I don't know if those things are healthy or not. If you think you have to solution to all of these I listed, please let me know.
I hope we have a nice day❤
Do Not Maltreat A Baby!!!
Please what word do I use when something is neither good nor bad? I need to share with you all how my day went. My day was neither good nor bad. It was just there. I acted cold throughout the day. I don't know the reason but I guess it's the mood. There are times that we may be in the mood to talk, there are times that we may be in the mood to play, and even times that we just want to be alone. We want everyone to leave us alone. We're neither happy nor sad but we just need ourselves at that moment. The only person who could take us out of that mood is ourselves.
When I got home from school, I was acting cold too. My siblings asked me what was wrong with me but I could not answer because I did not know what exactly was wrong with me. That's just my mood for the day. Whenever I'm in this mood, I don't reply to WhatsApp texts but I reply to the one I love. Also, any little thing can make me emotional when I'm in this mood.
I got home sitting all alone and not minding my siblings. Then, I opened my Whatsapp to see some people's statuses. That's my favorite activity on Whatsapp. I do that even than answering messages online. So, I checked a guy's status and I saw a woman beating a little child. I'm very sure that the child is not more than a year and a few months old. I don't know what the little child did to the woman but she beat the hell out of the child. She beat the child with hard slippers and the child fell but she didn't care and continued to beat the child.
The video lasted for about four minutes. I felt so sad. I have not given birth but I can't just imagine someone beating a little child like that. A child who doesn't know wrong and right. A child who is yet to have a real experience of life. A child who does not even know what he's doing. He does it out of ignorance. An innocent child. A child who is supposed to be trained with so much love and care.
I felt so sad. As I said earlier, my kind of mood can make me very emotional. I didn't know when tears rolled down my eyes. That's pure wickedness. The woman is a very wicked one.
I saved the video and posted it on my Whatsapp status. A lot of people cursed the woman. At some point, some of them said that they are very sure that it was not the woman who gave birth to the boy. Childbirth is one of the most painful pains on earth. A woman who had given birth will never beat a child that way even if he wronged her. For those of us who have not given birth, we're human beings and I'm sure we have human feelings. If someone beats a child like that beside you, you'd feel it.
One thing that the woman does not know is that she's training the child in a hard way and the child will get used to the beating. This is why you see some children who seem to be very wicked. When you trace it to their background, you'd realize that they were trained the hard way.
From my findings, I heard that the woman has been maltreating the child for over a year. A baby!!!😪😪. I'm glad that the video went viral. Now, the woman has been arrested and I hope she goes to jail to learn her lessons. And I hope the government cater to the child's responsibilities.
This is not my first time seeing this kind of video. And it has always reminded me of not leaving my child with someone I don't trust to an extent when I give birth. I may not even leave the child with anyone because people may be very wicked. Let's be very mindful of the people we leave our children with. Some people will even molest the child. I've seen a video where a maid kidnapped her boss's child and sold them to other people in another part of the country. We see different stories on the internet every day. Let's learn from it, please.
May God be with his and our lovely children.
They Are Not Good People.
Good day, beautiful people. How are you doing? As for me, I'm good. As you know, I love to share things that I go through with my readers on the platform. I share almost everything I go through and I also share other people's experiences. What's my aim? I aim to entertain you and also for you to learn from people's mistakes so that you won't make the same mistakes. I come here every day to share what I have been through and I'm pretty sure that it has helped some people in one way or the other.
I always have a topic in my head. The only time I don't write is when I'm being lazy to write. Boredom reminded me of someone and I wish to write about this person. I'd love to write about my housemate. Not because I want to gossip but I'd love it if you can learn from my story.
Have you ever met a talkative? Yes, I have. This wonderful housemate of mine is talkative. One thing I know about talkative is that they always want to talk. If someone talks all the time, she will begin to spit out what she's not supposed to. And when you're new to an area, if you get close to that kind of person, she may mislead you.
My sister and I are the latest housemates. As new people, we won't be able to relate with the housemates as they do amongst themselves. This aunty got close to us and we gist about a lot of things.
She began to tell us various things about the housemates. She's just like a detective 😅. She analyzed their lifestyle for us according to the apartment number. She started with the lady opposite my room. They're having a rift. One thing I'd never do to someone is to leak her secrets with me when we're not on good terms. She told us negative things about the lady. At some point, I began to feel somehow.
She also told us about the guy living next to our apartment. She said he's jobless and said a lot of negative things about the guy. Honestly, I felt bad.
But when I began to talk to the people sha had bad-mouthed, I realized that they are good people. I guess she's talking that way because she doesn't like them. And if I add to what she says, it's likely for her to go back to those people to tell them and hatred will set in.
I've met a lot of people who are like this. I must confess, it is a very useless character. I still talk to her but I'm not very close to her as before. I decided to move away from her because I don't like that attitude.
I know each of us has met one or two people of this same character. Let's stay away from them.
They are not good people!
Family Is Everything.
By reading my topic, I'm sure you already know what I want to talk about. And I guess this topic has been confirmed in almost every part of the world. I used the word "almost" because I've not been to every part of the world. I don't know how some countries or particular ethnic group behaves when it comes to their family. Let me talk about my family. Family is everything.
There are times that you will be depressed due to one thing or the other but when you have your family members around with you, they will brighten up your day. Though, it depends on the kind of family you come from. Some families train their children not to love other people like themselves. Also, they are not united. There is a lot of this kind of family out there. I'm glad I've got the best family.
A few days ago, my older sister and I spoke with my dad on phone, and he told us that our little brother would love to come to say hi to us. He will visit us and be with us for a few days before going back. The idea sounds so sweet but I became bothered because there's no one to bring him down to this town. We all are busy people and it may be hard to create time for him. Yesterday, I was hearing different stories about kidnapping. I got very scared and was even thinking that my little brother shouldn't come again.
While I was sharing this idea with my sister, my dad's call came in and he told us that our little brother will be coming very early the next morning. I was a bit worried but I didn't flinch. I just prayed to God for a safe journey.
I woke up very early this morning and my dad called after a few minutes that the bus took off already. I took my bath and cleaned the house before leaving home. I got to the motor park before the bus got there. I was so happy to see my little brother. I took him to my sister's office because I was going to work too and I can't leave him at home.
Fortunately, my older brother came to do something at my sis workplace. The two brothers saw each other and they hugged. I could see the happiness on their faces. They were very happy to see each other after some months.
I've made dinner for my little brother and he's asleep. He's sleeping right beside me. Only God knows how happy I am to see him again after a few days. He's my favorite and I see him regularly.
Our parents also called us tonight and I could tell from their voices that they were happy. Everyone is happy!
Indeed, family is everything.
Reminiscence.
Hi guys. Today, I'll be sharing some of my past experiences with you all. I've got bittersweet experiences in my life. I'd love to share some of them with you.
Firstly, what is reminiscence?
Reminiscence is the process of remembering past information. I guess I have a bad habit. I have a bad habit of reminiscing whenever I sleep and wake up in the afternoon. Sometimes I will remember the bad experiences and I may begin to cry. Also, I may remember the beautiful experiences which put smile on my face. But while remembering any of them, I always choose to learn from then so that I won't make the same mistake.
I'm watching a movie right now. It's about Nigerian corpers who went to serve in a city and the female students were crushing on the male corpers. My sister shared her experience with me that she used to like corper when we were in school.
This made me remember the beautiful memories I had with the corpers when I was in secondary school. A lot of them taught me well. I also remember the cute ones out of those corpers. I also remember the time we threw a party for those corpers when they were done with their service in our school.
Also, the movie I'm watching made me remember something else. The setting is in the Eastern part of Nigeria. This made me remember when I used to go to the East. Imo state to be precise. Guess what I went to do? I went to see my boyfriend. Oh sorry, he's my ex. I broke up with him a few years ago. I'm a lover girl and I do anything for someone I love. If I could stop the world for that person, I will. That's how crazy I can be whenever I'm in love.
Traveling from Lagos to Imo State is about nine hours. It takes me nine hours on the road to see the love of my life. It was a beautiful relationship. He took me to beautiful places in Owerri city. While watching the movie, I saw some places that I have visited before. Such a sweet memory. At the end of the day, I broke up with him due to mutual understanding between us.
Also, some scenes portray nightlife in the movie. I used to be a nightcrawler. Right now, I took a break because I need to focus on the movie academy that I attend. When I was at the University, I used to go to parties. Some of my friends call me the life of the party. Whenever I go to a party, you'll notice my appearance either by my dress or by my vibe.
I'm that girl who loves to visit the club almost every time. This movie is making me remember sometimes that I may decide to leave home for the club at midnight. Nightlife is so sweet but expensive. I'm not that girl who goes to the club and expect people to spend for me. I have my money! If I'm broke, I won't go out.
While reminiscing about nightlife, made me remember how I always spend my Christmas period. As I said earlier, I'm a night crawler. During December, I don't sleep at home. I go from one party to another. I guess you know that there are many shows in December which means that you can visit about four to five shows at midnight. And one thing about Lagos during December is that almost everyone is outside. Not all of us go to parties. Some go to church, mosque, and some even work as ushers for parties but I go out to chill during this period😅.
I'm just reminiscing different situations in my life and I've realized that I have grown. There are things I've stopped doing and there are things I want to start doing.
One major thing I love about reminiscence is that it helps us remember our past mistakes so that we won't make the same mistake anymore.
Anyway, that's part of the things I reminisced about while watching the movie.
I hope we have a tranquil day❤.
Glory Glory, Man United.
Today is another happy day. As you've always known, I'm a happy person and that's one major thing you should know about me.
I traveled to my aunt's place two days ago and I left early today so that I would be able to watch Manchester United vs Arsenal match today. When I got home, there was no light and I was told by my neighbors that we have not had light for two days. It was crazy and I got devastated because I wanted to watch the match.
After a few minutes, they brought the light. It was like magic! I was very happy and I switched on my television. I tuned it to the sports channel and waited for the match to start. The match was played at Manchester United's stadium, Old Trafford. Also, one thing that can be very painful is for another club to win us in our stadium. It is crazy as hell😅.
After a few minutes, Anthony scored for Man United. I shouted because I was very happy. I already had a bet with some of my friends that Man United will win the match so I was so happy when Anthony scored. The first half ended at 1-0 which made me happy and had that feeling that we would win the match.
After fifteen minutes break, the match started again and they played on. After a few minutes, Saka scored for Arsenal. Honestly, I was angry😅. I'm for the win so it annoys me when my opponents score. My heart began to palpitate because they can win us since we were having the same amount of goals. Ronaldo was benched before and he was substituted on the field after some minutes when they started the second half.
Rashford gave us a sweet goal again. I was sooooo happy!! Though, I was still scared because it was still easy for Arsenal to equalize and even win us. I began to check the time so that the match will end fast and they won't equalize😅. That's one thing I do whenever we're winning 😅.
After a few minutes again, Eriksen gave us the last goal for the day. I shouted. My neighbor came to check on me to know if everything was going on we'll😅. God knows I was very happy.
I took to my social media platform to throw some banters at people who said Manchester United was not going to win. Some of them got so angry that they didn't reply to me😅. Football may be so crazy. Some of them could not even come online because of shame😅😅.
One thing I know is that football can only be predicted. You can't tell the accurate score or what is exactly going to happen. There are times that a team will score two goals in the space of five minutes. Another crazy thing that happened was that when I checked the stats of to shot match, Arsenal has higher possession, shot on target, and every other stat than Manchester United but they still did not win the match.
And this is one reason we get surprised when a smaller team wins against a bigger team. It's because we expect the bigger team to win maybe because the bigger team has better players than the smaller team but the table may late turn around.
Also, it amazed me whenever I see people who predict football games. It's cool to predict because you may be right but I feel like there are higher chances for you to lose most of your predictions because football is played on impulse. There are times that we don't expect a player to score and he will score.
A lot of people doubted if Manchester United will win the match. It was just like when Manchester United won Liverpool. We didn't expect it. We felt like Liverpool is better but at the end of the day, Manchester United won them. That's football!!!
Anyway, Congratulations to every Manchester United fan out there.
Glory Glory Man United as the red go marching on on on!
What Do Ladies Want?
Hello there! How are you doing today? It's early morning here in Nigeria, Ibadan, Oyo state to be precise. I woke up a few minutes ago and was thinking about what to write. I thought of different topics but I knew that if I begin to write an article on those topics, I may not write it to a preferred extent. It pains me whenever I don't have a topic to write about. It makes me think too much. I guess this happens to every writer. It is not every time we always have something in our head to write. Are you getting me?
I began to think about my experience with people. I began to think of the general things my friends and I talk about. Eventually, I found a topic. I remember a time when I was chatting with a male friend. He told me how troublesome his girlfriend was. He also said that every girl is troublesome because he has never dated a girl who is not stubborn. Some people also believe that all Nigerian girls are stubborn😅. I'm not part😅.
He gave me a few instances and I guess he is right. I also explained some parts of my stubbornness to him. I'll give a few examples of the annoying things that I do. If I have a boyfriend and he asks me what I want to eat, I may decide to be quiet not because I'm stubborn but because I don't know what to eat. If the guy eventually buys food for himself, I would want to eat the food with him maybe because the food looks nice. It's one crazy habit in me which shows that I don't know what I want.
Also, there are many times that I want to talk to my man. You know it's normal for a guy not to be with his phone. Maybe due to work, he went out, played ball, or did any random thing. As a calm lady, you're expected to call again for the second time and if he does not pick up, drop a text message. I'm a stubborn goat, I'll drop too many texts. I'll begin to tell him that I dislike him and tell him all sorts of things without even asking why he didn't pick up the call. Some ladies even go as far as challenging him that he was with another girl.
Girls are so stubborn😅. There are times that a lady is angry. If you're angry at someone, you should tell the person what they did so that they won't repeat it. Whenever our boyfriends offend us, we keep quiet and begin to keep malice with them😅. If he touches you, you'd shout. If he calls you, you'd get angry. But if he doesn't call you, you'd still get angry😅. I don't know how these men can satisfy us. I'm not left out in all that I listed😅. I guess we express ourselves anyhow we like because we are too emotional.
One thing I know about ladies is that a man can never satisfy us😅.
It brings me to the question, ' What Do Ladies Want?'.
Tanker Explosion.
It's a very beautiful day at Ibadan, Oyo State. I had a wonderful morning and my afternoon is going well too. I followed my sister to the saloon to make her hair and I took that as an opportunity to lose my hair. The hair was so stressful to lose so I asked an apprentice of the hairdresser to help me with it. Another apprentice joined making two apprentices who helped me to lose my hair. It took them an hour to lose my hair because the hair was quite much.
As usual, I took my phone while they were losing my hair. I replied to some Whatsapp texts and also played my favorite game. At some point, I got tired of pressing the phone because the hair was paining me and I left the phone just to focus on the hair. In a few minutes, they finished losing my hair. My hair was so dirty that I had to wash it thoroughly while bathing. It took me fifteen minutes to wash my hair for you to know how dirty the hair was.
After taking my bath, my phone began to ring and I picked it up. My little brother called me to tell me about what is happening in the area. My dad's second house is at Matogun Olambe, Ogun State. He called and told me that a tanker exploded in the area and it burnt some houses. I was shocked because such a thing has never happened in that area. I asked him where my mum was and he said she went to the location to see what was happening.
I got scared and called my brother back again. I asked if the place is not close to my house. He said no and I was happy. The area is three minutes away from my house. I know a lady who lives a few steps away from the location. I called her to know what was happening and to know if nothing happened to her house and her family members. She said no and I was glad too. I was eager to see videos or pictures online just to know how much the fire was. I took to my Whatsapp handle to do that.
I checked some people's statuses and saw a lot of videos. The fire burnt a school, hotel, shops, and houses but no lives were lost. After a few findings, I was told that the tanker fell yesterday and the petrol was gushing out of the tanker but they didn't act fast until this morning when the tanker exploded.
My mum just called me now to give me the full gist about what happened. Over ten houses got burnt, two churches, a hotel, two churches, a lot of shops and so much more. That's a lot!!!
I'm glad that no lives were lost. I began to wonder where people whose houses got burnt will sleep tonight. What is going to happen to them? It is not easy to build a house these days, especially with the hard times that Nigerians are going through. I feel sorry for those people.
It's a black Saturday at Olambe💔
September Is Beautiful😊.
Today seems to be a very good one. I know my prayer is working for me. One thing I do every morning is to wake up and pray to God. Whenever I wake up in the morning, I pray to the Almighty God so that he will bless my day. Having a fantastic day is a beautiful thing. It makes you happy and willing to do more. It also motivates you for the next day. I guess I shared how yesterday went with you all. It was very interesting and it gave me to urge to wake up and rush to school today.
I read an article here yesterday. The person said that she started her September with a celebration. I have also seen countless posts about how their September is going. They revealed that it's going on we'll. A friend of mine also sold an NFT for 3BCH yesterday. That's a lot, right? He started his September well. The same thing applies to me too. Yesterday, we had our rehearsals and I did it better than how we have always done it. My lecturer commended me for being a good actor.
For you to know that September is going on well, today, our lecturer did not come around. He placed a call and asked us to make a song. He has given us this group assignment before today and he also asked us to sing a personal song. He approved mine and he asked others to make it again. We recorded the group song two times before now but he didn't approve it because we made some silly mistakes and he asked us to sing it again.
We sang it this afternoon and it was very interesting. You know that if you are having group work, there will be a lot of disagreement. Some people may not agree with what others want but it was not like that today. We were all flowing and going in the same direction. The inspiration can't be compared to another.
We submitted it and my lecturer approved it immediately. That's great. It's so amazing because we have been doing this assignment for a few days now and he keeps telling us to do it again but it's so surprising that he didn't detect any mistakes.
Also, the owner of the film academy that I attend had a video call session with us. He spoke with us for a few minutes and asked about our experience since when we have been in the academy. To be very honest, it was interesting. I've never regretted being a student of that school.
I'm happy because of everything and I'm happy because I deserve it.
September is beautiful😊.
Stage Play Rehearsal.
Hello beautiful people. I am here today to share how my day went with you all and I am very sure you are going to like how it went because it was very very interesting and stressful at the same time.
Today is all about rehearsals. I got to school very early as planned because we are having a stage play in a few days and we are expected to rehearse for the stage play to make it a success.
One thing I know is that no matter how much we try to make something work some people may not let it work because they do not want to be a part of the success story.
Why I said this is that a lot of people showed a nonchalant attitude to the rehearsals today and it's got my lecturer pissed off because we were supposed to show 100% interest in the stage play. Some people even came in late and while walking to the rehearsal ground you are expected to run to the rehearsal ground whenever you are late but some people still did not abide by the rules.
The stage play has a script of thirty pages. Luckily for me, I was given a role that I am going to feature in every scene and from the first page to the last page. It is a very big challenge because the lines are heavy and voluminous but I trust myself that I would be able to do it.
I am glad that I was given that role because it will give me the ability to show what I have got and to show what I can do to the world. After all, we are going to be having several audiences on that day.
We have been rehearsing the stage play since yesterday and we do it for five hours without a break. Today too I got there by 9:45 a.m. and we started our rehearsal by 10:00 a.m. we stop at the rehearsal by 4:00 p.m. this is going to happen three times every week till we do the stage play.
I am a fanatic of stage play because it is always interesting. Whenever I see people on the stage but I never knew it was this stressful. I just realized that it takes a lot of rehearsals blocking, cramming, readings, and a lot of effort.
Also, rehearsal is very stressful and I feel sick at the moment but I am very proud of myself because of how much effort I have shown in it. My lecturer also commended me for doing well so I will keep the fire burning.
Also, I am not just happy because only me is doing well but my mates are also doing well in it. As I said earlier stage play requires a lot of rehearsals and the rehearsals may be very stressful like the one I did today. I am stressed out right now. Headache, body pain, and dizziness are dealing with me right now.
I won't flinch. I would be fine and I'm sure that I will perform well. Pray for me🙏.
Don't Give Them That Power.
I was sitting all alone as I always do every afternoon. I guess the line 'Cos, I've been by myself all night long in Adele's 'When we were young' was made for me😅. I'm a very playful person and a good improviser but I love to stay alone most time. Not because I don't like people or I don't want to be close friends with anyone but because I enjoy being by myself. It keeps me in the mood of doing all the positive things that I could ever think of.
I went to my social media page as I have always done. I saw different posts as usual. We know social media is full of different posts so you will always find the post that suits your mood best. I found one this afternoon. As you all know, I'm not stingy. I'm that person who loves to share what she saw on social media platforms with people or her audiences so that they could learn from it and also make some adjustments if they fall into that category.
The person wrote about one power that a lot of us give to one particular person. She said that a lot of us give people the power to hurt us. How? It's very cool to express yourself and let someone know that you are their favorite person but do not give them the power to be able to ruin your day. Let me use an example to buttress my point.
Birthday is one of the most special days in our lives. Some people say it's their wedding day, graduation day, and a lot more. I'll use birthdays as a major example because it seems to be very special to a large number of people.
Imagine that you have a favorite person, close to your heart and you talk to them now and then. You tend to realize that if that person does not wish you a happy birthday, you may not be happy throughout the day because you have given that person the capacity, ability, and also chance of defining your happiness for you.
It's cool to fall in love with someone but do not let people or someone be the source of your happiness. I laugh when I see people save their partner's contact with the source of their happiness. Why would you call someone that? Let me tell you, whatever happens to you in life, you are responsible for it. You're responsible for your happiness, sadness, and every other kind of mood you could ever be in.
One thing we don't know is that, once we let someone into our lives and make them our source of happiness, they can break us. The majority of us do not think in that direction. All we think of is the sweet part which is someone making us happy. We forget to think that they are human beings, human beings can switch up or change anytime and they may break us. I'm sure you have seen someone who has been broken. They act mad!!! They are lost, melancholy, depressed and sad!
But if you are all for yourself and give no one the chance of defining your happiness, I'm sure no one will be able to break you!!!
Hello,
Don't give them that power.
Big Brother Naija.
Hello beautiful family. I hope we are doing great today. It's a beautiful morning here and immediately I was on my television, it was tuned to Big Brother Naija Channel so I thought of watching it for a few minutes before I change the channel. I easily get tired of it because there are a lot of times that they do irrelevant things which I know I can't benefit from. Let's go on to find out what Big Brother Naija is.
What is Big Brother Naija? It is a Nigerian television program that happens once a year. It happens for three months and keeps a lot of youths very busy watching them till they finish the program. It is a live television program that is made for youths to come and show their talents to the world. If someone wishes to be a celebrity in a few months, it is possible if he is she auditions and wins to be a part of Big Brother Housemates.
Everything that is done in this house is shown live on our screens during the number of days they will spend in the house. They play games and also advertise some goods of their sponsors to the viewers. Also, they win money from the games they play, and the winner also wins $143,000,000. That's a lot of money right? Yes, it is! The program is mainly for young people to show what they've got to the world and if we appreciate what they do, we may keep supporting their career. This is what the program was built for.
Suddenly, the orientation changed. The housemates changed the concept and that is what it is popularly known for now. Most of the housemates portray bad behavior like having sex in the house and they know that the recording is live so we would watch them have sex. The thing that even amazed me is that, ain't they scared of people watching them have sex? They've got no shame!!! I'm not holy too but I feel like this is not what they are supposed to be portraying to us. They've come to show their talents to he and not sex positions.
It's so disheartening that some parents watch this television program with their kids. I mean, little kids who know nothing about sex, kisses, romance and all. They kiss and do all sorts of nonsense in that house that they are in. God knows that I'm not here to sabotage the image of the television program. I'm not just happy with what it has turned to. It used to be an intellectual program that we can learn from but it suddenly turned to this.
No matter how bad it is, we still have some housemates who portrayed God behaviours to the society. I'm talking about housemates like Laycon, Whitemoney and so on... Another crazy thing is that, some married people agree with their partner to some and do all of these on the television program. God knows I would never make such a agreement with my partner😅. Or, will you make that kind of agreement with your partner?
What's your opinion on this?
It's All For Love.
Today seems to be a very beautiful one. I woke up on the right side of the bed and it feels so good. One thing I do every morning even before standing up is check my phone, check WhatsApp messages, check my readcash, check my blurt account, check my serey account and check some other things on my phone. But the first application I visit is my Whatsapp.
I opened my Whatsapp and I saw my ex's post. Today is his sister's birthday and she's one of the favorite women in my life. She treated me so well when I was dating her brother so I have no reason to keel grudges with her. I sent him a message and wished his sister a happy birthday. I also asked him to send my regards to her and I'm sure I'll call her later in the day because we're very close and we still talk even though I broke up with her brother.
Where am I going to? I've noticed that a lot of people misunderstand what break-up means. A lot of people think it's a quarrel between the partners. Oh yeah, we are different people and we have different ways of addressing issues. As for me, I don't quarrel with my partners because I want to break up with them. It's a no-no for me. I'm a loving girl too but I'm that lady who's not easily blinded by love. I'm always placing my love life in check and if I realize that it's not how it is supposed to be, I'll say goodbye to the relationship.
I have had two exes all through. I broke up with the second ex a few weeks ago. The relationship was a very sad one on my side. I said it in a way that he will understand and we would settle things amicably instead of disagreeing. Immediately, he flared up and said all sorts of things. God knows I didn't say a word because I promised not to talk back at him when we were having this conversation.
God knows that if I see him tomorrow, I'll still say hi to him. I'm not part of those who break up with their partner and hold grudges with them. Your ex is someone you once loved so why would you see them after you both breakup and start cursing them? It makes no sense to me. As long as you once loved them, let it continue that way but you should be able to place it in check so that it won't affect your personal life and once it begins to affect your personal life, leave!!!
The only reason I feel like you can swear for your ex is if you never loved them. Who told you that you can't say goodbye to someone you used to love? You can!!! It's for the good of your mental health!!! You may still support their career, you may still check on them, you may still help them but let all of these be limited. Whatever you do for them, should be all because of love.
It's All For Love😊.

Have These Subjects Helped You?
What is the essence of going to school? I have met a lot of people who could not answer this question. A lot of people think that going to school is just all about studying your course of study and passing your examinations. That's one of the major reasons we are in school but that's not all. There are some things that we learn in school without our teachers teaching that particular thing in class but we just learn it out of impulse. Also, we have subjects that are about what I am talking about. We have two subjects that are majorly for it. They are; Civic Education and Social Studies.
I'm talking about how to act when you're amongst people. I have realized that when you enroll your child in school, he or she automatically learns how to be friends and also to cope when he's among people. We automatically learn it. Also, I have realized that a lot of people do not know the essence of Civic Education in school or the essence of Social Studies. A lot of us forget what we have been taught after school. And we can recognize those types of people. They are the ones who would not put what they have been taught to use.
Civic Education and Social Studies are being taught in schools for children or pupils to know how to act positively in society. These two subjects help children to be morally upright and also to be able to solve societal problems. It also helps children to influence others positively in society. Also, these subjects help us to differentiate between wrong and right in society. These are the major reasons why we are being taught these subjects.
And I'm glad that in the Nigerian Educational System, these are compulsory subjects that a child must pass before he or she can graduate from primary school. Also, Civic Education is a compulsory subject in the West African Examination. I did it too. And the topics are not the ones that we can easily forget. Once it sinks in our heads, it sinks for life. It is not something that we can forget.
How many of us studied these subjects in school? Also, how many of us are putting it to use? It hurts so bad when I see people acting in negative ways and I begin to ask myself some questions. I begin to ask myself if those sets of people passed through these subjects. Also, these subjects have made some people better people and also prominent people in society. It has helped me a lot. What about you?
Have these subjects helped you?
A Fulfilled Life.
I sat outside my house receiving the fresh air. It hits differently when you receive fresh air. To me, it is better than Air Conditioner or fan. Though we have our preferences and I know some people would prefer Air Conditioner to the natural breeze. But I don't like it when it's too much😅. It triggers my Asthma.
Then, I logged in to my Instagram account to see some posts. I saw a lot of celebrity posts and I began to wish that I am living the life that they are living. Honestly, I wish to live a good life and a fulfilled one. I love beautiful things. I love to travel on a plane. I love to be where only rich people visit. I would love to visit Elon Musk's hotel on another planet.
As some of us know, I am an aspiring actress, singer, and dancer. Most times, a lot of celebrities put their lives on social media platforms which would make other people interfere in their matters. A lot of celebrities make the mistake of putting their personal lives on the internet and they will live based on the opinion of their fans which is not supposed to be so. I guess it is because they want to maintain their stardom. Honestly, it is very hard to maintain stardom. It takes a lot of hard work.
This makes a lot of celebrities live to impress their fans. A lot of celebrities out there have lost their true self and begin to behave or act due to people's opinions. A lot of these celebrities land in trouble due to these acts and at the end of the day, they are not fulfilled.
Who is a fulfilled person?
A fulfilled person achieves all that he wants in life. Even though a lot of celebrities are successful and also making noise on social media platforms, bringing unnecessary issues to the internet, we still have some fulfilled ones who live their lives based on their perspectives, based on their way of life, based on what they like, living the low key life that they wish to live.
As for me, I wish to live a fulfilled life. I pray to God not to let my work destroy my marriage because it's kind of delicate. I pray to have beautiful kids with my man. I pray we travel all around the world in peace and harmony. I pray we collect as many as possible awards which are the results of our hard work.
I pray for my beautiful kids to make it big in life too. I pray I am a blessing to my generation, family, and friends. I pray to continue to put a smile on the face of my parents. I pray to keep making my family proud. I pray to keep shining all through my life. I pray to be happy all through my life. I pray to break barriers all through my life.
All I want is a fulfilled life.
What about you?
What's Your Opinion On This?
A few weeks ago, I was given an assignment at the movie academy that I attend. We were asked to watch some movies. And they also gave us separate movies for separate groups. The title of the movie I was given is 'Doubt'. It's a movie that features Viola Davies. I'd love to tell you the major thing that happened in the movie and I need you to give your opinion about the movie.
The movie is about a child. This child is hated by everyone in society including his father. His classmates hated him, his father hated him, and his neighbors hated him too. The only person who loved him is his mother. She showed him, true love because he was not welcome in the midst of some people. She also loved him because he was hated by every other person in society. That's a lot to deal with!!!
The boy's teacher found out something about the boy and called his mother to the attention. When the mother came, the teacher explained that the boy is being molested by the priest of the school. She also explained that she caught them countless times and she had some proof to show. She tried talking to the boy's mother in a way that she won't flare up. She expected the boy's mother to go against it and create a scene there but that didn't happen.
The mother supported what was happening to her son. She was cool with it and when the teacher asked her why. She said it was because her child is hated by everyone. She was happy because she found someone who loves her child. That's weird. It's so weird for a parent to like the fact that her child is being molested by someone of the same gender.
She became very emotional and broke down in tears. She also made it known that she does not want the teacher to put an end to what was going on with the priest and her child.
Let me ask you all. Is that the best way to treat that kind of situation? I expected that as a good mother, she should not be cool with what was going on...
The fact that her child was not loved by every other person around him does not mean that she should allow such a thing to happen or that she should say yes to what was happening between her child and the priest.
I understand the fact that she wants a child to be out of depression and she wants him to be happy but this is not the best way of making him happy. Child molestation is a big crime that warrants some penalty. Also, it will have adverse effects on the child in the future.
Put yourself in her shoes. If such were to happen to your son, what would you do?
Today's Rehearsal
I had a very interesting day. The movie Academy was more fun than it used to be. We played, rehearsed together, and gifted with each other. We also made plans for our coming occasion in the movie Academy. The owner of the movie Academy will be coming on Thursday and we are to present a short film for him and the guests. Also, we have some other big actors coming to our movie Academy on Thursday to come and see our performance.
So we rehearsed what we are going to showcase. We are to act it for screen and we will edit it and show it to our visitors on Thursday. So we were able to read together the short script this afternoon. We chose the director, the actor, the production manager, the costume, and the cinematographer amongst ourselves. Since it is students' presentations we were not allowed to choose someone from outside or some of our lecturers to assist us with anything.
So we are doing everything for ourselves and by ourselves. I so much enjoyed today because every activity is between the students and not between the students and the lecturer. I guess the vibe hits differently when the activity is between students alone. The vibe is also good when the activity is between the teacher and the students but it's better when it is among the students.
This will enable us to show our talents more. It will enable the directing students to know much about directing, the acting students to know much about acting, the cinematography students to know more about cinematography and so many of them. Also, it will enable us to know our strengths and our weaknesses.
And the major reason that we are showing the presentation on Thursday is for the host and other big actors to see our strengths and weakness so that they would be able to guide us on how to go about it and also to praise us for our creativity and ability on doing such.
And we are also allowed to invite some of our friends who would love to come to watch our performance. In a nutshell, today is a good day. Also, the rehearsal was so helpful. I was able to express myself in full. Now, I know I'm somehow better than before and I hope to keep getting better each day.
Practical classes are very good. It is very helpful because you will show what you have. You will show what you can do and your mistakes will be corrected. There's nothing that does not have its practical class. Practice what you want to become and I'm sure you'll get better each day.
Have a nice day everybody ❤.
Can Ladies Live Together Without Having Issues?
I turned on my television this afternoon and they were showing a movie. Since I was bored, I decided to watch the movie. I am that girl who loves to munch something whenever she is watching a movie so I prepared something light for me to munch while watching the movie.
So the movie is about five ladies that are living together. They do their scenes together and do it all in unity. They pray together, cook together, eat together and do all sorts of things that best friends do together. They do not fight or quarrel with each other.
So I began to wonder if five ladies can live together without having any quarrels with each other. I don't think this is possible because I have lived with plenty of ladies and we tend to have issues every day. We are always settling one issue or the other each day.
So one day they all planned to start saving money with each other. They planned to save a huge amount of money every end of the month and keep it with one of them. They started saving in the morning and the first person collected her money while the others will collect theirs at the end of each month. They rotate it.
One day they all went out and kept the money in the house. They got back home one after the other and when it was time to give the next person her money, they could not find the money. They all began to argue because such has never happened in the house. None of them steals so they are trying to wonder who took the money. This caused a disagreement between all of them.
They went to an herbalist and the man revealed that one of them took the money. When they got home, they beat the one who took the money into a stupor. I know that if they were guys, they would find a way of settling the matter so that it won't escalate.
Also, I feel like they shouldn't deal with the lady. They should have a better way of settling it but I guess ladies are temperamental so they could not hide how they felt. I am sure some of us can testify about how ladies handle situations.
If it happens between guys, I'm sure they will find a way to clear the mess and continue to be friends. Guys let go of things so easily than we ladies. Things happen that ladies may not even greet themselves again and if it happens to a guy, they will just talk over it and forget the past deeds.
Also, I'm not saying that guys can live together without quarreling. We are human beings and we are meant to quarrel, laugh, play and all other emotions I could ever think of. But I know guys can still live without issues.
My question is, can ladies live together without having issues?
What Was His Mission?
I've been lonely for a few days now. Also, my sister left for her boyfriend's place and I am the only one inside. I am a bit scared because we heard the news in my compound this morning. The news of a guy roaming around the compound and knocking peon people's doors trying to barge into their apartments. It is so strange because the guy is not a housemate and we are astonished about how he entered the compound. He didn't knock on my door. Immediately it happened, the victims shared the story via our Whatsapp group and we are on alert.
We are just imagining different things. I'm sure you know that whenever things like this happen, people will think of different things. Did he come to steal, did he come to spy, or what exactly did he come to do? These questions have been running through my mind and I'm sure they are the same questions that will run through the mind of a normal person. Am I right?
The thing amazing to me is that we have a gatekeeper so it is not clear to me, how the guy entered without the consent of our gatekeeper. And our gatekeeper will never open the gate for a strange face so I am trying to think of how he gained entrance into the compound or did he jump the fence?
It's night now and I am very scared to sleep alone because of it. The security situation in my country is very bad now and we all are on our own. This is why we need to beware and also be vigilant of everything that is happening around us. I know that the guy does not have good intentions because someone with a good intention would not want to barge into your house like a thief. I just pray for a tranquil night's rest.
Here in my country, the government has failed us in the aspect of security. Nigeria is not secure anymore and that is why we hear a lot of sad news each day. News about killing, kidnapping and so many more. This is getting worse each day and that is why my mind is not at rest due to what happened this morning.
I know I am safe because I have followed some safety tips. My device location is on in case anything happens and my family members are trying to track my location. I've locked the door and I'm very sure that I won't be having any visitors tonight. My phone is well charged and I also have airtime and data in case of any emergency. I have also prayed to God to protect me and I will still pray about it before I sleep. So help me God🙏.
If you think I have not practiced some safety measures, please let me know so that I will do it before I sleep.
I'm very sure that I'll have a very beautiful night's rest because it's cold and the rain is drizzling. I love it when it's cold. I have no valid reason for that but I love it.
Goodnight ❤
What Do People Gain From Doing Evil?
It is very disheartening that doing evil is very common among a lot of people in Society and so many people see it as a normal thing. And it hurts me whenever I see little children trying to emulate these ways. Right about now these little children see doing evil as a normal thing and not a big deal.
I used to find it hard to see evildoers a few years back but now we find a lot of them amongst us. We even have a lot of evildoers as our friends, our family, our teachers, our colleagues, and a lot more. In a nutshell, doing evil is something very common and you can get it anywhere.
Why do people do evil? I think a lot of people involve themselves in evil acts because someone has done something wrong to them and they need to retaliate. Also, some other people find doing evil as something that pleases them. I have found a lot of people who love to do evil because they find it interesting and these particular people love to smile or be happy whenever other people are very sad.
Some people can even go as far as doing evil acts to their family members like their mother, their father, their brother, their sister, their cousin, their nephew, and many more.
I have read about a lot of evil activities online such as kidnapping, killings, poisoning others, betraying others and so many evil activities we can ever think of. Some people even go as far as going spiritual because someone offended them.
I believe that the best way to sort an argument is by talking about it and getting over it. But some people take it to heart and go the extra mile. Honestly, I feel like it is not needed.
And from my findings, I realized that even doers take the slightest things so seriously. A lot of evil-doers have ruined the lives of their friends or other people close to them because they are used to carrying out evil acts.
Even though a lot of people I used to carry out evil activities I am very happy that we still have some people who are very good to themselves and very good to other people. This is something that amazes me all the time.
Some people were given birth to by evildoers, groomed by evildoers, and all the people they are very close to are evil-doers. I guess it influenced some people to do evil. It depends on the person's mindset too. And this is why some people do not see evil-doing as a big deal.
But, do you gain from doing evil?
If yes, what do people gain?
I believe that Karma is real and you will get back what you give to others. If you do evil to someone, someone else will do evil to you, and it will go round. Also, if you are fond of doing good, people will do good to you.
I'm very sure that evil does know this. I know that they know that if they keep carrying out evil activities, evil will be done to them too. So why do they keep on doing evil when they know all of these?
Is there something I am missing?
What do people gain from doing evil?
