Reddish May but I'm grateful It’s everyone’s wish to start a new month on a positive note. Many believe the way you start your month will influence how productive you will be throughout the month, though I don’t believe in this, I still love to start a new month with my feet on the pedal. However, I got a call from the farm this morning that the eggs we took to the incubator sometimes back have been hatched. Delay in getting there might lead to missing chicks or an extra fee…
Is this love? Can one love too much? This is the question I’ve been asking myself since the outburst. Though she said so many hurtful words to me I still love her. There was a time I can say the feeling was mutual, she loved me and promised to stand by me always. Little did I know it was a lie. Every man has a weakness and mine isn’t that bad. Though I’ve always hidden it from her but like a corpse buried in a shallow trench, the stench kept coming out. Several times she’s…
20s The twenties is one of the hardest parts of one's life. It’s a stage where one tries to discover their purpose. Some people are lucky to find their part early in life but just about 10% are on this list. If there’s any age grade that needs help the most, it’s those in their mid to late 20s. However, these are the same set of people that resist help the most. This is a stage of taking decisions that will determine one’s path in life. While trying to find your way, other…
Thirst for revenge is like a Venom Revenge is an emotion that we cannot neglect, the thought of getting back at someone that hurt us or betrayed us is enticing and it makes us feel good. Sometimes it's all we can think about. We can spend hours considering how to get back at someone and running through a list of potential ways to get back at them. It’s a natural phenomenon, it is something we don't control but we can decide to go ahead with it or not, but one thing is…
Movie: Hollywood stargirl (one lesson) I saw a movie yesterday titled “Hollywood Stargirl”. This won’t be a spoiler but I will like to make use of a particular scene in the movie. The main actor “Stargirl” (that’s her birth name- funny right?) asked an old grumpy man “If there’s any word of advice you’ll like to give me, it will be what?”, the old man looked at her and sighed. He went on to say “make mistakes”. Stargirl looked at him confused. Before she could talk the old…
Depression is real Depression is real and it's happening to many every day. In countries like Nigeria and other African countries, when the issue of depression comes up people take it with a pinch of salt. Mental health is seen as something that doesn't require much attention. Every day the suicide rate increases and when this happens everyone acts surprised. The signs are always there but we neglect them until the person decides to take his life. *I* *saw a Facebook post…
Heartbreak hurts and can have lasting damage The feeling of being a victim of a broken relationship is surreal, it sucks you dry and feels like you've been on an emotional roller-coaster ride. You start questioning yourself and your love life, maybe your partner wasn't the right one for you, so you question everything. If only things surfaced before the actual break-up happened, then half the worries that went through one’s mind before would've been gone. One would know what…
Abortion Law: Right or wrong? The justification of abortion has been a lifelong debate just like creation itself. So many countries have been battling this for a long time, some government approves it and legalize it only for another to come in and negate the existing law. So many schools of thought have proposed a child limit rule as the solution to Nigeria’s ever-growing population but that can’t work with abortion still viewed as an illegal act. Moreover, this is a…
Waiting Period Have you ever been in the position of waiting? It’s a frustrating period. It can be a woman waiting for the fruit of the womb a student waiting for admission, a worker waiting for his pay or any other form of waiting. Impatience sometimes set it but with dedication, one can overcome it and get to the finish line. This present crypto crash can be likened to a waiting period too, especially for holders. No matter how we try to ignore the market price, constant…
Tribalism and hate won't get us anywhere Tribalism and racism are still very much prevalent in the 21st century despite all the progress in our understanding of societal matters. These two are at loggerheads with humanism. Most people know the effects of tribalism and racism but not many can put their heads around it. Tribalism, pride & loyalty to one's tribe and racism is a negative forms of tribalism. Tribalism helps in grouping people with similar traits and this aids in…
Free Reapers Summon Reapers is arguably one of the biggest NFT projects on SmartBCH. Though the floor price might be a far cry from what we expect right now, but this is a project with a long-term prospect. Another great thing about reapers is that holding them alone qualifies you for many opportunities. The first of such was the Minting of moodies. This is a project from Deadmousehouse and all holders of reapers got a whitelist. Instead of minting at the general price of…
Holding Naira is not a smart move The crypto crash has taught everyone a lesson. One can fall from 6 digits to 3 in the blink of an eye. One minute you're feeling fly, happy with the things you have and the next it's all gone. Truly, everyone desires to be Rich. To have more than enough but how long one will enjoy this wealth is dependent on your actions and in-actions. With the fluctuating and diminishing value of the world's currencies, leaving your money idle in an…
Sport betting and Spot trading are siblings I'm always vocal about my distaste for Gambling, especially sports Gambling. I hate a situation where one's fate isn’t entirely dependent on one's actions. Having to depend on the performance of some players before I get paid isn’t something I fancy. Some will argue that it's safe and not just a game dependent on luck or guessing. The gamblers sometimes take hours to study the previous performance of the team they're putting their…
How to increase productivity ***I was having one of my usual writers’ blocks when my friend Victor messaged me. He gave me an idea of what to write and also a way to be productive each day and how to set my priorities right.*** What is the first thing you do when you wake up? You pick up your phone, check the notifications and check your various Social media accounts right?. This is a common thing everyone does, but this is the wrong way to start your day Studies show that…
Bitcoincash is serving the Purpose for which Cryptocurrency was created Myles Monroe said and I quote “When the purpose of a thing is unknown, abuse is inevitable”. Simply put when you don’t know the “reason why” a project or activity is planned, only one thing is certain, which is misuse or abuse. The same thing can be said about most Cryptocurrencies we have. What satoshi planned has long been neglected. Maybe everyone need to go through Satoshi's white paper again. I can…
Not everyone likes Orange(s) Yesterday, mum got some oranges from the market and from the look alone it was apparent that it’s juicy. Before my ever-hungry pounce on it, I took two. One for myself and the other for my cousin. I gave it to her with the expectation of getting a “Thank you” from her but she returned it saying she doesn’t like orange. I was speechless for a long time because this will be the first time I will hear such, so I went on google and typed the first…
Loans: Best way to destroy friendship The word loan is derived from the word to give which means “*to give something in order to get something in return*”. However, in the case of lending your friends money, you will not expect something in return. You may be expecting a thank you or not but you surely expect them to return the exact money lent out back except if stated otherwise. Everybody has needs sometimes and when these needs arise, we make sure that these needs are…
Family is important Family is the foundation of one's life. Be it a loving & caring family or one that is tolerable, they sometimes come hand in hand with respect, love, understanding and a variety of other emotions. While most of us live with a sense of security and comfort within our immediate family, many don't have what we are fortunate enough to have been given. We all need an outlet for these emotions, a safe space to unwind with one another without judgement and…
Destiny, Prayer, hope Does destiny change? Sometimes I wonder if what happens to us every day is a product of our actions or is it just pre-destined to happen. Maybe there's nothing like destiny or every day we write our destiny ourselves, or the word “destiny” is a synonym for what has happened since we only call it destiny after it has happened. It’s common to blame or attach everything to destiny. When someone dies from a drug overdose, we say it’s his destiny. That was…
SmartBCH: Blockng bridge I don’t know what to term the present back and forth going on with the coinflex bridge. The fear the investors are showing is justified and this says much about the danger of using custodian wallets and the need for the SHA GATE. The bear market alone is an eyesore so the reaction to the various news circulating is expected. For some days now I’ve been using Peer to peer aid to bridge BCH to and fro SmartBCH but the discussions on various telegram…
Finally got my PVC The registration for a Permanent voter card has been on for some time now and I planned to get it since I fail to get it the last times I ought to. I can remember going for the registration but after facing a long queue, I gave up. However, I decided that not even a long queue will stop me this time around. The electorate body made things easy for the citizens this time around by providing an online platform where the phone can fill in their bio-data,…
