Blame Others or Seek Solution? "Parent" I haven't posted for two days now due to some commitment outside the platform and I am glad to be back again, family and farm work kept me very busy and I just have to be there since this doesn't happen every day. The recent hike in the killing of people in Nigeria for ritual has resulted in lots of issues with people pointing hands at different factors that have led to the barbaric situation happening in the country at the moment and…
Life without an incident. A few days ago, I wondered why things aren't going as planned for the new year. I didn't bother making a new year resolution but I had lots of things that must be achieved every week regarding my life and business. The past week wasn't my favorite because I had lots of bills to pay and I hate it, paying bills is not one of my favorite things to do but it is inevitable. People who pay multiple rents in January will understand what I mean. That's not…
Conversation couples shouldn't start. It is a beautiful Monday morning, it was a long night for me because I sleep off while watching the Africa Cup of Nations final last night and didn't wake up until almost 7 am this morning. I woke up to know that Senegal won the competition with the penalty shootout, I wish for Salah to take the crown but I guess the best legs won. I appreciate one of us here who checked up on me because I haven't been consistent lately, I have a lot on…
Rant: Life of an entrepreneur. Entrepreneurship is something I admire so much and it became a rescue for many Nigerians since the government has failed to provide jobs but despite the struggles of the people, a lot of them are still going through lots of things. Before now, I usually ask myself why entrepreneurs complain of hardship despite working. Some are overwhelmed with personal responsibility while some are not and still complain, the truth is that you can't understand…
...I forgot your day. "Don't ever forget your wedding anniversary or your wife's birthday if you want to have a happy home", Mr. George laughed after the statement as he gently got down from the altar where he was invited as a guest speaker during the church marriage seminar. They never get tired of listening to him, he is a role model to even men of God in the state because he has lived happily with his wife since they got married. He was about to turn on his ignition when…
Bitcoin Cash is not gambling. The issue of people misunderstanding what cryptocurrency represents still surprises me, at this age and time, I want to believe that anyone who uses a smartphone must have gotten the slightest idea about digital currency. There are content about it everywhere available in simple forms for easy assimilation and yet people still go around vomiting nonsense about crypto. I was surfing through Twitter when I came across a post of Kim Dotcom where he…
Entering the weekend with good vibes. It is the weekend again and I feel very good going into it unlike the previous weekends in the year 2022, I still bless God regardless of what they looked like because the Bible says that we should always bless God in every situation we find ourselves in. If you follow me very well, you will observe that I find it hard to hold back things that make me happy or sad. I like to share my experience, thoughts, and even feelings. A few days…
Dear diary... I am not fond of my diary even though I have always had one right from when I was sixteen, I pour out my feelings into it often but its inability to reply makes me bored yet, I still refer to it as my best friend because it holds the biggest of my secret and I feel safe telling it my darkest moments. Tonight, I almost didn't remember where I kept it the last time I used it and I regret ignoring it because it is the only thing I have shown love and hasn't hurt…
Once is not enough... The Valentine's hype is everywhere and even the little kids are talking about it, my little ten-year-old boy told me he is wearing red and white to school tomorrow. I pretended not to understand why and he confidently reminded me that tomorrow is Valentine and the dress code is red and white, I love the idea of schools making kids understand that Valentine is not just time for couples because they can spread/share love among their friends in school,…
Love and sacrifice are connected. It was funny seeing people feeling oppressed on Valentine's day, why on earth would you be feeling oppressed or depressed because someone you know was pampered and shown so much love today? I wouldn't want to blame anyone for how they are been treated today because "Life is not balanced", you can be a loyal lover and get small gifts while a cheater is been showered with lots of gifts. I wouldn't want to hide under the umbrella of the…
George Dee and games. The invention of mobile games seems to be one of the best things I experienced as a teenager, it was one of the things I was obsessed with while growing up. It is not like the obsession is completely gone because there are times I still drain my battery playing games as an adult. People who are close to me can testify about it, I am so into games because that thing can change my mood especially when I am winning. I have been playing games for over 10…
A lesson from my dad... I was engaging on the platform at noon when I got a WhatsApp notification, the notification came as a surprise. It was my dad, I hurriedly went to check the message because ranking our communication would be at zero level. He stays millions of miles away from me and he doesn't give time for communicating but whenever he does, I always feel good. I didn't enjoy this fatherly affection while growing so every memory of him is precious, there are many…
The world is a toxic place already... Allowing your mind to connect to things is a good habit for an everyday writer because it seems like that can refill your pen ink from time to time, I am fond of depending on my idea on what to write since I started writing to earn a few years ago but a particular situation changed things. I crashed into writer's block, my head and mind were empty. Someone noticed I haven't been posting and gave me an idea of paying attention to…
Be a beacon of hope. I was caught up in a conversation with my neighbors, we were talking about E-money. He would be celebrating his birthday this month, I mentioned how he has lifted some of his tribesmen and other people in the country. While we were discussing, one of them pause for a moment and when she spoke again. She said "bro Damola", people are going through a lot in the country. I knew she must have experienced something to have said that so I asked her what she…
Mere dust covered in glory. It is a beautiful Saturday morning, I feel blessed waking up to see the new day even though I only slept for three hours over the night. I woke up murmuring around past 1 am and I couldn't return to sleep, it seems I had a troubling dream I couldn't remember. I went around the rooms to check my siblings who were fast asleep, I felt uneasy so I stayed awake writing down points for this article after seeing a movie. I spent quite a little time…
Lessons from an Apocalypse My brain tricked my mind into seeing a horror movie last night, I have seen a few members on the platform hype the movie so I felt it would be great to see it on Saturday night with my fiancee. The previous week wasn't one of my favorites, she was so busy at work that we barely talked like we use to. She was too tired and it would be bad adding to her stress if I insisted on spending some time chatting with her, so seeing the movie together since…
Youths can make a difference. I couldn't get my mind off the attacks on cryptocurrency by the world leaders from different countries after reading a post by @JustMyRambles01 on noise cash about the US President intending to issue an executive order on cryptocurrency this week. https://noise.cash/post/l5rv694m I started wondering why they are so keen on containing the growth and applications of cryptocurrency in the world where the masses are craving for financial freedom…
Million reasons why you must stay alive. I didn't believe I would have waited till nighttime before writing this article, electricity was ceased around 1:25 am today while I was working at the farm. Luckily for me, I was able to finish changing the water because I drained the water before the light came and when it did, I just washed and pumped immediately. I had to use my phone as a torchlight since everywhere was dark, I forgot I was in Nigeria where nothing is fixed. The…
Wouldn't you have done the same? "Please ma, help me out. My mother is struggling for survival in the province, I only came to work here in the city so that I can make a living to care for myself and my family, I didn't know things would turn out like this". Those were Elizabeth's last words before the police officer left the interrogation room. https://unsplash.com/photos/BuMVDXZTGn0 She was a bit confused and didn't understand why a 16-year-old girl would kill a man if she…
Random article in memory of Nightbirde. It is hard to move on from the death of people who reshaped your thoughts positively and inspired you while they were alive, it is the same feeling seeing people who could have been a huge blessing to humanity pass away despite their struggles and will to survive. It amazes me how people who know they have a limited time to live go on to mark their names in the heart of millions before they pass away, they inspire people knowing that…
War is not a language, it won't resolve issues. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has raised lots of questions and gotten the attention of people from almost all parts of the world. Seeing innocent people suffer is heartbreaking and I don't know why leaders globally will opt-in for war knowing so much that it would hurt the lives of their citizens. I have read different articles and posts from different sources defending the Russian President's action and condemning Ukraine…
There are still good people out there, are you one of them??? I started an article yesterday but couldn't complete and won't continue it until after this article because of my experience yesterday. For some time now, one of my friends in Ogun state has been troubling me to come to visit him. We schooled together, and we were of great help to each other as well but the unpredictable journey of life made us walk on different paths in search of success in life. The memories we…
BCH spreading love & support with its qualities makes it best. It is a beautiful Monday in the City of Lagos and as Lagosians, we are always ready for the workdays hustling and bustling. We move with faith, nothing is certain but we trust in God and our effort to help us reach great heights, I believe it's the same everywhere and I pray that every good thing we lay our hands on today, this week shall prosper. The Russian invasion of Ukraine has been at the top of every news…
