Random rants for the night
23rd of February 2022
Abuja people and everyone else is talking about fuel scarcity, ridiculous price hike of fuel. With everything happening in the country, I hear someone saying he can't and doesn't even know the price of fuel because he has never gone to look for fuel and not see. I don't know if he thinks this is something to brag about, but I'd say that as long as he's a Nigerian in Nigeria, he should know the price of fuel unless he wants to deceive himself by claiming otherwise in a bid to feel big.
I consider him nothing but a liar who lacks self esteem and simply wants to be seen as high and mighty. Unfortunately for him, whether big or not, nobody cares. A majority of people are after his own life and how things will get better for his or her family. While some are after recognition and being seen on top by living fake lives and posting pictures of themselves taken in beautiful places on social media just to impress or perhaps oppress as they say today.
Speaking of Social Media, we say time runs because we spend most of it flipping through social media. Exhaust Facebook content, run to WhatsApp. Exhaust that Instagram, then twitter. BY that time, Facebook should have new ones to binge on. Hours blow away but when you eradicate social media entirely, you find out how much time you have on your hands.
Please don't use it to run to ruin your relationship or cut off people. Find productive things to fill it with, things that are all about you. Leave your friends and relationships to mornings and night conversations, use the rest for you.
Start something. Pick a quick skill and learn. Pick a book and read, pick a series. If you're doing a skill, the lack of social media means the need to publicise and post about your growth and process will be ignored. You can now focus on your learning.
One of the issues we have these days is that people want to post success more than actually doing the job. "Oh I'm a web developer and blah blah". But the assignment given to you by the tutor hasn't been done. Posting comes first- a very wrong approach to getting the job done.
Words of a friend, not mine
Enough of the rants. I'm about to quote words written by a crazy friend of mine.. his words not mine. I sometimes feel like he requires mental care due to his very weird way of thinking, here we go.
And I quote "Every three months, I'm going to pick one person randomly from my WhatsApp lust, Facebook list and contact list, and find out what we can do and how we can make their journey pan out. Most of the time I'll be the god they need, god and a sugar daddy. In those cases I'd tell them "eeyah" and not waste both our times".
"I've picked my target for this quarter, a very nice boy, a poet. He can draw too. I'd be reviewing him tomorrow, and all his social presence. I think he should be a visual poet. His drawing skills can make his poetry unique. He is best stuffed for erotic stuff, he is great at drawing women b**bs. We'll be going to Instagram. I have a long chat scheduled for tomorrow evening, I pray I do not waste his time".
Told you he's one person that needs mental care, I find it difficult to understand his words most times, almost like a person that speaks while under the influence of alcohol... Lol!
That's enough of my random talks for tonight. This article probably makes no sense, pardon me!
No one cares if the president knows the fuel price or not. Only that I can't understand why we should suffer for fuel that is being produced in the country.
