Global Warming. Why?
The extraordinary rising temperature due to global warming is now making people edgy. Just before midday everyday, the sun is already up, hot and scorching, beating down savagely without mercy on both man and beast and making the daily temperature of some places to climb to an agonizing 40°C and above (imagine that!).
This situation is driving many people crazy, leaving people sweating profusely whether one is in the sun or away from it, compounded by the very unstable and unreliable power supply we have to deal with here in Nigeria.
At night time things don't get better as many without power supply, generating set or air conditioners can hardly sleep, some are forced to stay outdoors till really late into the night just to cool off- exposing themselves to certain dangers. Everyone is wondering what the heck is going on. It has never been really this bad.
Well, the reason for this crazy heat level is simple- Global Warming.
There is variation in the weather/climate of every country of the world. The issue is that human activities are endangering the very existence of humans and animals both In urban and rural areas but especially in the urban areas.
First, we have the issue of rising population. If you measure the inter-distance between homes, you will notice that it is rapidly decreasing. The implication of this is that it's either humans are activating chemicals that are injurious or making use of chemicals that are injurious and harmful, causing them to be released into the atmosphere.
This is why greenhouse gases, methane, carbon dioxide, even what used to be normal water vapour are on the rise and endangering human activities.
Further activities such as industrial activity, home/building construction etc, have all contributed to deforestation. Nobody is even encouraging green environment. We are having a very high accumulation of carbon dioxide gas & and methane gas in the atmosphere. All these plus other small gases are not allowing the entry of solar radiation. Upon hitting the Earth surface, it is prevented from escaping into space.
The heat so released by the sun's rays is expected to escape into the atmosphere. But all these gases go to seal up the upper level of the troposphere above, preventing the exit of this "heat" into the atmosphere. The heat now returns to the Earth causing this almost unbearable heat wave which has proved to be very harmful to human survival.
And the bad news is the heat wave which is likely to increase, the more thermal radiation isn't allowed to escape into space.
It kind of seems like we are trapped here, doesn't it? What is the way forward? What do we do now? How do we save ourselves and protect our existence?
If you ask me, I'd say that tree planting is the best way out. Trees and leaves not only provide shade from the scorching sun, they also take up carbon dioxide and release oxygen which is very essential to human survival.
Taking proper care of our environment Is another way to tackle this crisis. Cleanliness they say is next to godliness.
Nobody knows and takes care of a place better than the inhabitants of that place.

Most Reasons Why People Go into Relationships
Yes. Why do people go into relationships
Everyone has different reasons for going into relationships and below are some reasons why I feel people enter relationships.
Some people go into relationships just for the fun of it, some go into relationships because they won't get laid except they are seeing someone. Others get into relationships because of monetary gains.
While some get into relationships because of the genuine love they have for their supposed spouses, others get into it for the sake of the fun and enjoyment they stand to gain from it.
Before one gets into relationships, they are some questions one needs to ask oneself.
Questions like "how much do I love whoever Is going to be my partner?"
"What do have to offer into the relationship? What do I stand to gain from it?"
"How well do I know whoever's going to be my partner?"
We have heard and /or seen cases where people jump into relationships not because they actually love their partners but because they were either coerced or adviced into dating whoever they are dating because it would supposedly work to their advantage.
Life's all about loses and wins, give and take , same ought to apply in relationships. What are you offering your partner in the relationship, Is it just sex? What comes after that?
True love should not be based on only sex. There should be more than that. You both should help each other and encourage each other to grow, be it financial growth, social or even spiritual.
In this our generation where true love is hard to find,if you really want to find true love you have to look within yourself. Self acceptance is the first step to loving yourself.
If you can't accept yourself and love yourself then it'll be hard to truly love anyone else.
Remember that you can't give what you don't have, and while you're loving others don't forget to love yourself more.

Learn To Love Yourself
Hello there 😊
I'm sure you're doing good
Today I'll be talking about a topic that's sure to get your attention, so you sit back, relax from a hectic workday and enjoy this read.😊
I hope you'll **love** it.
Every human being needs love, yet why is it that most people tend to feel unloved?
This might be because we humans tend to look for love outside of our very selves;we rely on other people like family , friends, partners/spouses etc, to make us feel loved, and if doesn't happen, or if they fail to do that one way or another, we lose trust in love and doubt the people who may actually love us for real.❤
As humans, it's normal that once we start to associate love with feelings like heartbreak, sadness and the likes, we stop ourselves from loving anyone talk more of ourselves.
If you want to really find true love, you have to look within yourself. If you can't love yourself then it'll be hard to love anyone else. Remember that you can't give what you don't have.
I understand that sometimes, occurrences in our past lives such as growing up years, past relationships that might have been shitty, and the likes could really affect the way we see ourselves and other people around us but if we want to show love to other people we have to first of all start by loving ourselves.
Self acceptance is the first step to loving yourself.
If you don't accept yourself, the way you are and feel great and confident in your own skin, neither can you love yourself and trust me if you don't accept yourself and love yourself the way you are others won't.
Sometimes the aura you give off could make people love you and if you feel confident about yourself others will tend to love you.
Remember, love others but don't forget to love yourself more.❤

Your music defines you
So today I would like to speak about a very interesting, and fun topic that is **Music**.
Everyone listens to music (I stand to be corrected here) and people's taste in music differs from person to person, be it Reggae and Blues, Hip hop, Afro Pop and so on.
Sometimes your taste in music tells people the kind of person you are, even before they start to get to know you properly.
Music sometimes Is taken for just "vibes" while it sometimes applies that music isn't just for vibes.
The music you listen to has a way of affecting you without your own knowledge.
Music, if you ask me also has to do with our temperaments. A person that has a melancholic temperament would most often than not listen to slow music and would be lover of artistes who sings those slow music for example the American artiste Adele.
Music also has an effect on our moods. It has a way of lifting up our spirits (or bringing it down) too, and while I'm not shading or condemning any artiste or their music, people who listen to artistes like Juice Wrld tend to feel depressed.
Listen to good music. Music that affects you in a positive way. Music that brings on positive vibes and make you feel enlightened.

What you should know about Depression
Hello guys.
How's your day going ? I trust that its going as planned.😊
Its feels great to be back to this space to do justice to one topic that is sure to get your attention -- **DEPRESSION**
Depression is a global occurrence, it happens with people from all over the world, and while we Africans do not like to associate it with ourselves, it also happens here in Africa.
Depression is associated with feelings such as grief, sadness, pain, hurt, anger , frustration, heartbreak, emotional breakdown/imbalance.
Circumstances such as poor health, ailment and disease,unstable finances, broken/toxic/unstable marriages or relationships, hardship, low self esteem, bullying, abuse and the likes are factors that can trigger it.
So long before now, I wrote a poem on Depression ( I write articles and poems for leisure, and I'll be sure to drop a few here in due time), and in the first stanza, I described it as icy fingers of death gradually snuffing out life.
"Depression, so subtle and so slow,
Cold as the icy fingers of death,
Making people feel unloved, weighed down and low,
Slowly but surely,gradually snuffing out breath..."
Sometime ago, I was watching a video compilation of people with cases of chronic depression, and they were slitting their wrists, falling off buildings, injecting harmful liquids into their body, and so on. I felt really sorry for them( OK let me say this that I'm not certain if it was a video trick or if it happened real life).
From my own point of view, two things are certain about Depression.
It feels like one is slipping into darkness, helplessly falling inside an abyss. It's like being pushed down headfirst into a black hole or inside a a pool( and you can't swim) and you're just scared, confused and feeling really lost, helpless and dark inside. You might get suicidal if you don't get help real fast.
Every depressed person needs help. Therapy sessions and words of advice. Someone who they can freely open up to without being judged or condemned. A shoulder to cry on and vent their anger and talk about what's really bothering them. They need to be shown love and care as depression is no joke.

Self Discovery
Hello everybody, It's a pleasure to be able to do this again.
Hope your day wasn't so stressful😊
So today I'd like to speak about **Self Discovery**
This is quite an interesting topic I guess as well as enlightening.
Maybe you've asked yourself questions like "who am I? What do I want for myself? How do I remain true to myself?" Several times. Well, grab your popcorn and follow me on this ride and get prepared to learn something new.
So,what is Self discovery? And why is it necessary to discover oneself?
I would say Self Discovery is the way of learning more about oneself and who one really is.
What you think of yourself,how you see yourself,how you **define** yourself is how you truly are. The impression you give yourself is who and what you are, so it's best to see yourself as a wonderful and unique being, and also profess good things to yourself.
What you think of yourself -- your thoughts define your words because most times,our words are products of our thoughts.
Your words define / decide your actions -- because the more you keep saying something to yourself, the more you tend to believe it and that should in turn,guide your actions.
Then your actions define your achievements -- The more you're being consistent about something,the more you'll get better at it. And if it's a goal, the better your chances of achieving such goal.
Then finally your achievements define your life-- how far you've gone in life, how well you've done for yourself, how well you've lived your life and how much you've achieved in the course of your life.
I am a teenager and at this point in life - **the teen age** - is a critical period. It's a period where our opinions about ourselves and life in general are shaped, this is the period where we make our friends and decide who stays in our lives and who doesn't, and so it is very important that we embark on a journey of self discovery so we don't get carried away by friends or trends.
A lot of teens tends to feel lost about their direction in life, but that's OK 😊, as long as you don't dwell on that but instead try to discover who you truly are, to give yourself a sense of direction and purpose.
*Remember that a rolling stone gathers no moss.*
I hope we learned something new today.
Do have a pleasant evening.
Ciao ! 😊
