A life of freedom and peace seems to be getting harder and harder each day. Is the world really coming to an end, or is it just the evilness of men?

Getting Started with Resin Art: A Beginner’s Guide for Nigerians Resin art is becoming popular in Nigeria, especially among young creatives and small business owners. It’s a fun and creative way to make beautiful things like earrings, keyholders, coasters, and even trays. If you’ve been thinking about trying resin art but you don’t know where to start, this guide is for you. I’ll explain the tools you need, simple techniques, and small tips that will help you start your resin journey without stress. What Is Resin Art? Resin art is when you mix a liquid chemical called *resin* with a *hardener*, pour it into a mold or on a surface, and after some hours, it becomes strong and shiny. You can add colours, glitters, flowers, or even charms to design it the way you like. Tools and Materials You Need Here are the basic things you must get to start: 1. **Resin and Hardener** This is the main thing. You must buy a good quality one, and always mix it according to the instruction (like 1:1 or 2:1, depending on the brand). 2. **Measuring Cups and Mixing Sticks** You need this to measure and mix your resin properly. Use plastic or silicone cups, and wooden sticks or plastic spoons. 3. **Gloves and Safety Gear** Always wear gloves so the resin doesn’t touch your skin. Also, work in a place with good air or use a nose mask, especially if the resin smells strong. 4. **Silicone Molds** Start with small molds like round or heart shapes. They are easy to use and perfect for earrings or keyholders. 5. **Colours and Decorations** You can use: Resin pigments Alcohol inks Glitter Dried flowers Gold flakes or anything fancy 6. **Heat Gun or Lighter** After pouring resin, bubbles may appear. Use a small heat gun or lighter to remove the bubbles gently. 7. **Flat Surface** Make sure where you keep your resin to dry is flat, so it won’t pour to one side. Simple Resin Techniques to Try 1. **Layering** Pour your resin small-small in layers, so you can add glitters or flowers in between. 2. **Swirling Colours** Mix two or more colours and use a stick or toothpick to swirl them together. It looks fine when it dries. 3. **Dirty Pour** Pour different colours inside one cup, then pour it all together into the mold. It gives a nice marble effect. 4. **Embedding Objects** Put small items like dried flowers, beads or charms inside the resin before it dries. Helpful Tips for Beginners **Work in a clean area** – Dust or hair can spoil your resin work. **Mix gently** – If you mix too fast, it will have too many bubbles. **Use nylon or paper on your table** – It helps you clean up easily. **Be patient** – Resin takes 1 to 3 days to dry completely. **Read instructions** – Every resin brand is different, so follow their mixing rules. Final Words You don’t need plenty of money or a big studio to start resin art. Just start with small items, learn slowly, and you will get better with time. Resin art can be a fun hobby, a stress reliever, or even a business that gives you extra income. Tuesday, 15th April 2025.

In a world where silence is the norm, it's up to us to take a stand against injustice. We must be willing to fight for others, no matter the cost, and be the voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. When no one else will stand up for what's right, we must be brave enough to fight for others, no matter what it takes.

Making money in crypto currency and the stock market all requires a big load of money to put in as an investment, and you will be doing just fine. I believe that the key to taking advantage of these systems, is that you can keep studying about crypto and stocks all your life.iIf you don't have a huge amount of money to put in, you will still be the same.
@DanLawan
We must make sacrifices for the ones we love, sometimes whether we like it or not. Because it is our responsibility. If we don't do it, who will? Until we are able to go beyond our comforting beliefs to make others happy, can we say we have done everything?

Ramadan Day 11 is proof that you can stop those bad habits; you can pray at the mosque on time; you can wake up for night prayers; you can wake up for fajr. Never give up; that desire to be right with your creator should be re-created every day.

You can't get what you deserve if you don't work hard for it, but sometimes we might get lucky and get what we want without moving a muscle. I see that as a test of one's faith.

In a month of unlimited rewards and bountyful blessings, one must or should push himself to do more than his best so that one can get as much of that reward and blessings as possible.

Her Touch. Like a powerful overdose of emotional trigger, I'm torn apart, yet drawn to the pain. I hate it and I love it, I don't want it but I want it, A conflicting desire that drives me insane. Hate to feel it, but I don't, Don't want to give in, but I gave in. Her touch, so hard to resist, A gentle caress that sets my soul on fire within. It's like alcohol, intoxicating and sweet, Making me drunk, too drunk to hear or think. Every touch, a spark that ignites, A flame that burns, leaving me helpless, out of sync. Her touch is like an emotion I crave, A feeling that I always want to reclaim. She knows I'm vulnerable, so she plays games, Kinda games that I like, that drive me wild, untamed. Her touch, a powerful overdose of madness, A little taste, and I'm hooked, forever wanting more. If her touch were a drug, I'd be an addict, lost, Forever chasing the high, the rush, the addictive cost. Am I losing myself? Have I completely lost my mind? Or is it just her touch that makes me re-align? Something's wrong, or maybe it's just right, I'm torn between the pleasure and the endless fight. ***Lead image from Unsplash*** **Monday, 13th January, 2025.**

The Unwelcomed Guest She walked in on a happy family Looking for who to claim, She stares all around With no sympathy, she pick her target Cast her eyes on the most vulnerable one among Her plan is to take and present agony She walked in on a Sad family She didn't come to wash away their pain She knows her job shall cast more pain Her fangs will leave a deep scar in this family She cannot be sued or stopped even if you're willing She walked in on strong family She will take what she wants Even the mightiest cannot face her might The strongest shall be on their knees For weeks she will leave them weak They will not want her as their enemy She walked in on a weak Family She will not be any gentler They will have to be strong for what she brings It could be their only blessing She is everybody's enemy but nobody's enemy She walked in on families uninvited They will not see her coming But her work they will witness Cry, she will force their eyes She won't beg nor need their forgiveness ***Image is from Unsplash*** **Sunday, 11th January 2025.**

What a sad day, I was half awake this morning when I heard noises coming through my window. It was my dad on the phone. The tone and the sound of his voice said it wasn't a pleasant chat he was having. Then I heard him in a bit louder voice saying, " "innalillahi wa inna ilaihi rajiun." Then I knew that something bad had happened. It was one of my cousins who passed away. He has been sick for few weeks, suffering from kidney disease. Kidney disease has been a deadly disease in this country, taking lives randomly at an alarming rate, but I don't think the government is taking it seriously. It has come to the extent that whenever it is said that this person is sick because of s kidney, then people will just be expecting to hear sad news. It is hard for anyone who has this disease to survive, especially when one has started taking dialysis. May all our dead rest in perfect peace💔🙏

Comment on Arthur the king 2024 movie. I actually prefer to watch action-packed movies, love stories, or horror movies But this adventure movie got me is a must watch. So if you haven’t watched this movie, I recommend you do. The lead actor is one of my favourites, Mark Wahlberg. The movie is based on true life story of an adventure olympic racer who adopts a stray dog while they are in a trace. The story started in 2015 when Michael Light's team lost there race in a single day as a result of Michael's bad decisions. He was all about hard work and hard work and never believes in giving up. What I love about him is he someone who believes so much and has high confidence in himself. When he sets his mind on a goal he will work towards it until he gets it. Three years after they lost that race, Michael decided to run another race with a his new team. And this time he invested everything and is confident he will win. But he didn't know about the unexpected. Seriously I must say although these races look fun and adventurous, they are also dangerous. From the part where they had to climb over a wall while they carry their bikes on their backs, to where they slide down those lines with their bikes. But I enjoyed every bit of it. The most interesting part of this movie is when they meet the stray dog (ARTHUR). He came to them while they are resting and Michael gave him some meatballs before they rejoin their race. And somehow the dog kept following them like he knows where they are going or he's the king of the jungle. The dog clearly knows the jungle and all shortcuts to take. He found them again and they took pity him because he was in a really bad shape. I love dogs so much and this movie shows how intelligent and friendly dogs are and how of a cute creatures are. I confess that this movie made me broke down a tear after they reached the finished line with Arthur and when he was fighting for his life in the hospital. This movie is just amazing. **Friday, 10th January, 2025.**

Comments on Mufasa: The Lion King 2024. After the remake they gave us in 2020 with a more realistic animation. Disney decided this time to give us more story lines that we didn't know about Lion King, which is the story of MUFASA himself before he was king. We all thought Mufasa inherited his kingdom from his father. But only now did we realize he wasn't born royal. He and his two parents used to live together happily without any kingdom. They were not royal; they were just ordinary lions. Until an unfortunate disaster (a flood) happened that flushed him far away from his parents and into the arms of Taka and his family. However, Taka, which is the actual name of Scar Simba's wicked uncle, was a sweet young cub with a big heart. And they became good brothers. Taka's mother, Eshe, took Mufasa in and gave him hunting lessons because King Obasii refused to accept a stray. But Taka was happy to have found a brother. Until one day they had to run away to save Obasii's blood line because they were about to be attacked by some outsiders. So they went on a run to find the mythical land of Milele, the land we know as Pride Land. And that is where things changed between Taka and Mufasa. I, for one, don't see his fault for hating Mufasa for snatching his love even after Mufasa knew that Taka is in love with her. I do not support Mufasa on that. And though he acted in anger when he connived with those outsiders and almost got his friend's killed. But he quickly realized his mistakes and stood with his friend and also saved his life again. Although Mufasa forgave him, he swore to not call him brother or utter his name again. Which is why Taka tells him to call him Scar instead so that he will never forget his crimes. I totally think Mufasa overreacted; he should have considered his own crimes against his brother as well and understood Scar's behaviour. At the end, Simba became king of Milele for saving for his bravery, and Scar was allowed to stay with him. The end. **Thursday, 9th January, 2025**

Her Eyes. **I'm not sure if this qualifies to be a poem, but...** *Her eyes are truly full of beauty and wonders,* *Like the windows to her soul,* *Shining bright with a radiant light,* *Lights that captivates my heart.* *So full of joy and excitement.* *Her brown Iris, a mesmerizing blend of colors,* *Beautifully sparkles like a work of art,* *So unique and breathtakingly beautiful,* *It is no doubt the most amazing work of art.* *Her perfectly round pupils, dark and mysterious,* *With every look into her eyes,* *They draw me in with an irresistible allure,* *Like they are inviting me to explore the depths of her emotions.* *Her white sclera, a brilliant white* *White like a vast field of snow,* *It provides such a stunning contrast,* *Which frames her eyes like a masterpiece.* *Her full black and perfectly lined eyelashes,* *so soft and silky,* *With every gaze and wink they flutter like butterfly wings* *Adding a touch of whimsy and charm to her gaze.* *Her curled eyelids, delicate and expressive,* *They dance with every emotion, speaking* *volumes without a word.* *And then, there’s this sparkle,* *This glint of magic that happens whenever her eyes meet mine.* *It is as if the whole universe has conspired to bring us together for a cuddle.* *And in that moment, nothing else matters.* ***Her eyes are the best gifts, a treasure that I cherish in every moment that I’m with her.*** ***But this is just one part of her beauty.*** ***I will tell the other parts whenever i get time.*** Lead image is from unsplash https://unsplash.com/photos/woman-peeking-over-green-leaf-plant-taken-at-daytime-cTKGZJTMJQU

Don't Waste Too Much Time On WorldlyIllusions. We struggle daily, working hard for jobs or our businesses. We try too hard to keep wealth so we can live a luxurious life or provide such a life to our loved ones, children, wives, parents, and relatives. We always keep ourselves so buried in such desires, that we often forget that we are not here to live forever. We most times forget that we could live in this world at any time because death is real. Yes, it is okay to want to live a happy luxurious life after all, no one wants to live in poverty. But one key thing we forget is the relationships we build while we're alive, Those good things we did, and the bad deeds we committed. Those are the only things that matter and which will benefit us and give our lives purpose. While we are alive we must do well to have an excellent relationship with people closest to us and those in our community. Make sure that we do not hurt a soul or make somebody's life miserable. We must always do our hardest to change the lives of others for the better because that is our biggest reward. A wise man once said, "Wealth is not how much change we make, but how much change we make." Another said, "Wealth is not about how much money you make, but is about how many lives you changed." The good we did follows us everywhere, for the rest of our lives and the next life and it also affects our children and their children and their children too. So also the bad. Try as much as you can to be good to people even if is as much as having a very good and friendly relationship with people. Don't fight people and don't be the reason others fight each other. **We are not meant to stay here forever. Death is real.** #Image is from unsplash.

Rings Of Power 2: Comment 1. When I started watching the first season, I wasn’t sure I would love it. I just kind of watch it with forwarding and skipping lots of scenes that seem to be too much talking and confusing to me. But lo and behold, I am so excited right about this series now. And I should’ve given it much patience when I started. Considering that this series actually went back to when the battle for the rings and war for peace started. It highlighted in great detail the origin of the story behind Isuldor, the Uruks, the elves, and men. And my favourite part is the story of how Gandalf came to be. Although it is a bit annoying that he seems to be very powerful and yet very slow. And had he realised his purpose much quicker, he would have been able to stop the great deceiver Sauron and prevent the creation of the rings. And he would have saved thousands of elves and innocent men. But Sauron, that character is so mean and extremely deceitful. I love the way that character played his part very well. Everything turns out in his favour. I guess everyone is playing his game against him without realizing they are all playing the game he plotted. It is amazing to see how someone is capable of destroying diverse people and putting them in chaos with just the sweet words that are coming out of his mouth. Sauron is indeed the one and only greatest deceiver of all. I want them to kill him quicker, but I also enjoy watching him do his evil stuff. He is incredible. However, the annoying thing about the elves is how they trust to wear those rings even after realising who influenced their creation. I’d say they wrote their doom with their own hands. **I will be sharing with you more about this amazing series. So expect more.**

Today Wednesday marks the 1st of January, 2025. The experiences, lessons, struggles, losses and winnings in 2024 should never be forgotten. And 2025 shall bring more good experiences with it. Happy new year, fam. 🎉

Goodbye 2024. ***Good day, everyone.*** We are in the last Monday of this year, 2024. I can't even believe it. Its even hard to remember what 2023 was like for me. How fast is this world running?Whatever the case, you all should buckle up and be ready for the new year 2025 This year has been given a bucket of experiences, the good, the bad, and the terrible ones. But gratitude to the almighty must always be given. Because we have gone through the rough journey and we have survived. We have reached the 2024 finish line in one piece, but not without scars. These scars are our trophies for what we have endured and the victories we won. We are now about to start our journey to another finish line. But this is not a new journey; we are just proceeding from where we stopped. We must not let our guards down and expect 2025 to be easy. We must work harder than we did in this year and plan for bigger goals we must achieve. This new year, no matter what, we must do better. The economy is mean, and we must do more than our best to not be its victims. Invest and start new businesses, and if you have a profitable business skill, then even better. Expand it and grow bigger. As my Nigerian folks used to say, "No gree for anybody." **Come 2025, you must win.** *****Happy new year in advance*****

Knowing fully that it's going to hurt us both Dear heart, You are mine but most times i don't understand you Sometimes i want to separate you from me Just so i can learn what it feels to feel without you Why do you keep so much pain inside you? Dear heart, Why is it hard for you to love? Don't you know you make us hard to be loved? You make it hard for me to love You make them hard to love us Dear heart, Your pain, rage and hate are destroying us I prefer when you had love, joy and happiness Ohh wait... my bad I forgot, didn't realise they were never with you.

I am not bothered by the cold. My concern is how I am not married in this such exciting and beautiful weather. And it really makes me sad. However, the cold today marks 17°, feeling like 16°. ☺️ awesome!
@DanLawan
The cold heart It seems quiet but is filled with chaos, rage, anger, and hate. Surface so beautiful, its beauty is full of ugly stories and deceit. It feels what it wants to feel, holds what it thinks is worth holding Too weak to carry heavy burden or maybe too scared to look weak Full of empty rooms but no room for kindness Deep down it cares, deep down it doesn't, deep down confused, deep down a pitiful soul. Invisible scars but cuts too deep, too deep to heal. So used to crying, the eyes have given its tears to the chest. The eyes have forgotten how to cry, they switched to taking pictures Heart and Mind, Thoughts and emotions are always fighting wars. It is not about winning, is about peace. But will it ever find it in this Cold War?

Corrupt Era I believe we can all see how the world and every human soul live or survive. Everyone is sad, angry, hungry, frustrated, dying etc. People walking around like Zombies. The number of good people with good hearts for humanity is declining, while the number of terrible and evil people is increasing. Bad leadership and hard economy is turning good people into something else. In some locations, you can swear that no one is selfless. Everyone lives for himself and no one has a heart or ability to honestly help another brother in need. People are just turning out to be more like the living things in the jungle_ every man for himself, eat or be eaten. The system that we're forced into has forced most of us to adopt a new way of life, the life like that of senseless wild animals. Crime rates and insecurity and destruction of the weak keeps increasing at a scary cumulative rate. When we see people suffering or in need of help somewhere or right in front of our eyes we simply ignore it like it is nothing. We no longer have love and empathy for our fellow humans. We live in a seamlessly wicked world. Sometimes not because we don't care but because we can't, we don't have the power, but some of us don't care. Some of us do have the power but either they are the ones doing the hurting or are afraid to show they care. Some people will create chaos and destruction for others if it'll put some coins in their pockets, without any consideration for the pain others might experience at that cost. Some only inflict pain on others for their fun. It's a crazy world. Powerful people oppress the weak and rich people enslave the poor. But no one is trying to solve that problem. Well... who will stop it when those who have the authority are enjoying the show? This is for today😊 bye👋 **18th Nov, 2024.**
