Does black mean evil? *Color is one of the things that we consider in the world today when making the choice of choosing objects, designs, and other things in life. There are times I just wonder what the world would have looked like without having color, just imagine if the world just becomes colorless.* Many of us would lose interest in many of the things we love today, the clouds, the field, our skin, and other things would remain either black or white. We would only have…
I was a victim of the Covid-19 pandemic. I should probably start a debate on the topic "Covid-19 has done more harm than good" but debating would probably not change anything about the situations the world is facing right as a result of how Covid-19 stopped almost everything that happens in our daily life. That memory of just staying indoor can be very annoying but when we choose to stay alive, there is the hope of recovering from every loss. The virus made us encounter a…
The best gift life gave me. Despite the struggles and challenges of life, I am sure there are things we tag as special happenings in the stormy journey. We are not standing on the same height of life which has made our extent of view either limited or unlimited. We have different experiences about life and it has influenced our judgment or beliefs about many things. It is always different for everyone because we see values in things from different perspectives. I use to say…
Created as companion not a slave. My mentor inspired me to write this after he replied to my comment on his post while on his vacation. His family life is one I admire a lot and I am preparing myself before that time become I want to be an inspiration to my children and many other people out there as well. I wouldn't want you to see this as a religious post because I will back some point up with the scripture and it is going to be a dialog box. The post isn't as serious as…
Learning the simple lesson the hard way. It is very difficult for me to take my mind off the various tragedy happening in the world today and after thinking deeply, I concluded that humans have brought doom to their world and now, it is so unfortunate the world is learning a simple lesson the hard ways. It is so unfortunate the world is learning a simple lesson the hard way. ***During my primary school education, I do read a story in an English textbook which taught me lots…
Don't ignore the changes in children *Change we say is inevitable and it is not restricted to everything about humans, we grow from kids into different phases in life before death. These changes don't have to do with the physical body only, it has to do with our minds, our reasoning ability and lots more. Just because of the general we experience as humans, we see new behaviors in kids growing into teenagers and youth.* As far as I am concerned, these are the most difficult…
Eating from their sweat is a curse... Eating from a child's labor is a curse to the parents, I couldn't figure out how to start the post because of the way I feel right now. We all definitely want to eat the fruit of our labor but eating it when it is not ripe enough can be very disastrous. It is the prayer of every parent to eat the fruit of their labor in life but some parents are doing it wrongly and it shouldn't be encouraged. Can you imagine drinking orange or mango…
A race you cannot win *I have seen many times where we choose to engage in a race we can never win. Wouldn't it be a wasted effort after avoiding a particular problem for a long time but in the end, you later have to face the same problem when you don't have the power to run anymore.* *I am sure you would be wondering why you wouldn't win because you are a good athlete, don't be surprised that even the world's fastest man can be defeated.* *I have seen people live their…
Health: knowing your blood pressure. My experience in life has made me place good health over anything in life, money or any other material things needed to have a good life is inferior to good health. Without any doubt, you will agree with me that good health is the foundation of every greatness you want to achieve in life. If you are not fit, you can work or do anything to earn a living because good health isn't just about physical fitness and strength, it has to do with…
Children falling victim of terrorism. *The issue of children falling victims to terrorism is very disheartening and I feel very down reading such stories but it would be heavy in my heart if I refuse to write about it because it is bothering me a lot.* For some time now, it is impossible not to hear a kidnapping story in my country Nigeria daily and it hurts me a lot to see youngsters falling victims to the evil experience. Parents now live in fear, it is like not having…
Respect the difference. I don't know if I am the only one feeling that school teachers shouldn't be left alone to teach children values. If you agree with me, education is very much different from moral values. In as much as our teachers try to inculcate values into children, the parents have a bigger role to play in that. I believe that parents have more lessons to teach their kids because empowering them with education is quite different from teaching them values and to my…
Staying healthy costs less. It would be great if everyone knew how living a healthy life can be so cheap if you are truly determined to stay healthy. I find it very funny how people spend so much to stay healthy with medicine and supplements(drugs) while they can increase their chances of staying healthy with the things they do in terms of feeding and the environment where they live in. The things we give to our body through the mouth matters a lot and I think that's the…
It is never late to try... *We have so many beliefs based on age which has placed so many restrictions on us as humans, I don't know why deadlines were made for a particular age bracket but it is a very idea to condemn a particular age bracket.* ***I will be focusing more on achieving success in the post.*** *I have many times seen people get written off because of their age and start hearing things like:-* "At what age are you trying to get a degree?" It is better to do…
Dreams are seeds... **I handled some seeds today at the farm and I was able to figure out some things about humans.** I am not planning to go into crop farming due to space but some vegetables are growing and I collected their seed for someone who needed it. While I was holding the seed, I tried to compare the seeds to a lot of things related to humans and I finally concluded that seeds can be compared to the dreams we have as humans. Every living organism was once a seed…
Financial discipline: Don't give them all I came up with this post doubting my opinion about it, I doubted my opinion because I wrote it based on my background, experience and I could be judging or concluding from a wrong angle. There are times we write from experience and knowledge which contradict what's happening in reality and that's one of the reasons I always want feedback to help me understand if I am on track with my ideas. Growing up without wealth has taught me and…
While waiting for opportunities.. The population of the world has reduced the total amount of opportunities in circulation, we have outgrown the available opportunity in the world today. I want to believe that the opportunities remain the same but the number of people who could take advantage of it is stagnant which means opportunities are not increasing like the population is doing. I remembered writing a fun post about the insufficient opportunity in the world today, it is…
The pain behind unfulfilled dreams. The pain of not being able to fulfill some things in life can cause serious heartache and sometimes kill the motivation to carry on with other things in life but we must always be prepared for disappointment in life. My little experience in life has taught me to always expect the unexpected and also have a second plan in case the first plan doesn't work out for reasons that are beyond our powers. **I have seen people say don't quit in…
Wonders of guava. Guava commonly referred to as Psidium Guajava (Botanical name), it is an evergreen shrub or small tree in the Myrtaceae family grown for consumption and many other health purposes. Guava has an oval shape and its color can either be yellow or green. It has not been a popularly consumed fruit in some parts of the world due to the area it is commonly grown but if you agree with me, it has been a very beneficial fruit to the human race. Popular known for its…
Taking responsibility makes you a father not bringing kids to the world. Unfortunately, fathers don't get the attention of the world just like mothers do on their day. I wouldn't want this post to be a discriminating one because I am not trying to talk about which gender is perfect but I just want to make us understand that our parents deserve to be treated with love without partiality. I keep wondering why it is like that and I see a lot of factors why fathers ain't getting…
Discipline and wickedness are two different things. Wickedness and discipline are two different things but we mix them up due to a lack of understanding. They both carry the same force but they usually have a different objective at the end of it. As parents, we must choose wisely between the two when correcting our children. Kids find it difficult to differentiate between the two things and it ends up having a negative effect on them, it can go as terrible as them becoming…
One life changing decision I made. My mother does say that "if we all know when we will become successful, nobody will attempt to be successful until the time comes". All we will do is just fold our hands until that moment, we try when the time comes and just become successful but unfortunately, things don't work that way. If life wanted us to have everything cheaply, it could have worked that way but because life wants us to work hard, we just have to keep trying to be…
Wow!!! It is baby girl. *They say children are the fruit and happiness of every marriage, the coming of every child to the world brings lots of joy and happiness to every couple.* *It doesn't matter if it is the first or second, the excitement remains the same and it calls for a big celebration.* *Phone rang... George picked up the phone and the noise of celebration fill his ears.* ***Caller:*** *Congratulations sir, your wife just put to bed.* ***George:*** *Wow. Thanks a…
Junk foods remain irresistible Some things are basically irresistible to some humans and no matter how many warnings you give them against those things, they will definitely go back to it. I remember during a comedy show, a comedian went on the street to ask people why they can not quit smoking. Everyone has a different reason behind their actions but a particular guy made me laugh a lot. He said, "smoking gives him the courage to do the things he won't do on a usual day".…
Can poverty be completely eradicated in the world? I could remember many years back when I attended a seminar organized by NGOs with International bodies here in Lagos state. Several speakers talked about the theme: Eradicating Poverty in Africa, we were given few minutes to contribute our ideas or ask questions if there was any and I approached the podium to ask a question. The question came up immediately after I got the seminar and I pondered over it throughout the whole…
The Suprise Reunion... It is the weekend and I felt like putting away the serious post for a fun post since it is a rest day. There is a saying that 20 kids can't play together for 20 years, I use to disagree with the saying as a kid until after my secondary school days were over. I had this group of classmates that we were very fond of ourselves, we couldn't go a week without seeing each other since we weren't going to school anymore (we were working towards admission into…
I got hacked, beware of the tricks. The issue of hacking lately has gotten to a whole new level in the world and it doesn't have to do with how smart you are because a silly mistake could rip you off everything you have worked for in life. Safety is one of the things why we keep our assets in banks and with the development in the finance world, digital wallets took over the world with the invention of cryptocurrency. But unfortunately, the safety of our assets still lies in…
Kids need more than school education in this digital age. As early as 6:o0am this morning while I was heading to the farm for my first task of the day which was feeding the fishes, I saw some students trekking. They attend a government school that is far from the community, they have to leave home early so that they can be at school early as well. Taking transportation would cost their parent a lot so instead of these kids taking buses, they will trek some distance (from…
Mental health vs physical health. I use to have the belief that our health is the foundation of everything we want to achieve in life, I might be wrong to you but read the next paragraph before you conclude. Everything a man will become in life has to do with his health because it is difficult to go tackling challenges when you are not fit for them health-wise. The saying "health is wealth" tells us how much important our health is when trying to be successful. It doesn't…
Grateful soul. My mind has been troubled since I completed my post for today, I haven't posted it yet because my heart wants something else from what I was inspired to write about. I wished I listened earlier, I should have just written about the topic "**grateful soul**" as my concluding post for the month of June. The memory of the new year celebration remains fresh in my head even though we have just concluded the first half of the year 2021 and I will be an ingrate if I…
