The great thunderstorm ⛈
Good day read stars ✨!
`Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. Waking up today is just by the grace of God and nothing else. All thanks to the source that created life.`
Gradually the week is getting to an end again. Just like yesterday when we passed the weekend and there we go again we are preparing for another weekend again. Time flies just like the blink of an eye. Just like yesterday when I made a write-up on using my BCH to get my NYSC *(National youth service corps)* kits. Preparations here and there, made me lose focus on my targets for the past month but all in all, it brought the best out of me.
Yeah, I made a post also about my journey to the southeast where I was posted to serve the country. It was indeed an amazing experience. As we all have a nice drive down to our destination though not nice to some extent but it wasn’t a boring journey. Coming together on a bus, we interacted with each other, chatted, and had fun too. This made the long journey look shorter for us.
Upon arrival, we all got our registration on the same day and when we were given room to stay we all got the same block of the apartment. It was just like the journey continued. Our room became the noisiest block in all the apartments from block 1 to block 13. Days passed by and everything was just fine and 😎 cool. One thing I appreciate about the guys in our block is the fact that there is no theft or anything related.
**The thunder ⛈🌩 night**

It’s been more than a week in the camp orientation center and we haven’t experienced much rainfall most of the time. It would just be a few drops from some minutes and stop falling again. Not until one night, it was already night out *(the time they would put off all light and then expect everyone to sleep)* and everyone was preparing to sleep. The weather began to change as it continued with a heavy breeze. No one complained at this point, instead, it was just like aid to everyone’s sleep. The cool breeze from trees in the surroundings and the cry from the air paving through the window made our sleep more convenient 😴.
I slept off for hours without knowing anything. Everyone else had slept too, but something strange happened 😮. All of a sudden we heard a Big Bang on the rooftop and by this time it already started raining heavily. The sound was like an automatic wake-up alarm, everyone woke up Instantly after the first bang then subsided again. At this point, I was felt like going out to urinate but the thunder began to strike continuously and it became stronger to the extent that everyone trembled in fear 😧.
Some said maybe it’s already judgment day 😂. But no one listened, some started to pray. But I planned to go out and urinate 😂.
At some point when I couldn’t hold it anymore, I moved out of the room to urinate. I left the door open in case I might have to run inside again 😂. But the person sleeping by the door side already woke up and as I was about to urinate the thunderstruck even more heavily than before. Wow 😮!!! I was shocked to death to have witnessed the strong ray of light and sound descend the earth's surface…
I was scared but still put on some act of bravery. Before the second thunder could strike again I already heard someone shout at me from the door side to lock the door. 🤣 I ran inside immediately and banged the door.
The following morning everyone started to give comments on the heavy thunder that struck, then we got the news that someone’s phone got damaged because of the thunder that struck.
**What’s your experience with thunder???**

Dogs or Cats, Which would you prefer as a pet? Why?
**Good day read stars ✨!**
`Today is another beautiful 🤩 day on the earth’s surface. We wake up and appreciate the almighty Allah for his blessings upon us all. It’s never by our power or might. But by the grace of the Lord.`
Yesterday was Monday for everyone, but not a Monday for me. *Did you ask me why?* It wasn’t a Monday for me because I was indoors throughout the day. My journey home from Ebonyi state which is part of the southeastern part of the country was a stressful one. The journey took about 15 hours to get home. I was stressed out.
At some point, I decided not to journey home by bus 🚌 next time instead I would take a flight ✈️. But flight should be more costly compared to a bus. That should be the only thing hindering me from going by flight. I continue to pray for both platforms readcash and noisecash, I pray it continues to grow and get better each day. Maybe by then, I could have accumulated some BCH for myself so I could book a flight ticket from my BCH savings.
***Too much of my dreams and hopes, but still I hope it comes to reality. Time to get to the topic for the day…***
Still on Shadowspub prompt for the day.
**“Dogs or cats, which would you prefer as a pet? Why?”**
Amazing 🤩 prompt. Isn’t it?
I would say I love most animals while they are still at a younger age all because of their cuteness, little animals even babies 👶 are no doubt always looking so cute 🥰. Which is one thing that makes me love them the most, though they are always fragile and need to be held with care.
I got experience with both animals before which would surely give me a chance to choose both animals. Yeah! I had a terrible experience with dogs as usual. Dogs are always crafty and aggressive most of the time especially when they encounter a strange face in their home. But subsequent visits would make them recognize the face and show love and care.
**My experience with dogs**
https://cdn.pixabay.com/photo/2016/10/31/14/55/rottweiler-1785760__340.jpg
I remembered the day I was on an errand to get something, I didn’t know there was a dog in the compound and had just given birth to puppies. Yeah, I was going alone not until my younger sister decided to run after me so we could go together. Seeing her chasing after me to catch up with me, I also started running toward my destination where they have the dogs. Had I known I should have walked in gently and nothing might have happened. But the rush I took in from the gates I saw the mother dog barking after me. I was shocked that I couldn’t think of anything other than an escape route. A few minutes later my sister also jumped in through the gates. I was still running around the house with the mother dog behind me. I tried to jump over the fence but I was a little short of the height of the fence.
After my first jump, the dog already got to me and bit my trousers. I screamed but it was just too late. Before the owner could come to my aid. And called the dogs back.
When I got home I had to check my trousers and I realized the dog had already given me a scar on my buttocks. I cried and told mum to do something about it because there is this rumor that when a dog bites you then you start barking like one. Everyone at home laughed at me including my sister 😂. Since then I have never liked dogs 🐕.
**My experience with cats**
https://pixabay.com/photos/cat-cat-s-eyes-blue-eyes-gray-cat-1285634/
Cats are just so cool 😎 though at first I was scared to touch them there was a day in our compound when I saw this pure white little kitten 🐱 wandering around. I couldn’t touch it so a friend of mine who had cats at home whistled and got closer to it. Then we took it around looking for the owner. We went to the owner to drop it and told him to take good care of it and not to let her out again. That happened in the morning, before evening we saw this little kitten again now finding its way into our hostel. 😂 this time around I tried to feel its fur and the flexibility of its bone and skin. It was less harmful and kind of friendly. We took it to the owner again for the second time and he was sorry.
The next morning we found it in our sitting room. Haaa. What is this kitten doing here? Then we decided to leave it and let it have a nice time. If the owner needs it then he would come for it in our hostel. It seems he doesn’t care for it. The little kitten became a part and parcel of us and we liked it so much especially with its pure white fur on it. It stayed for months and would always eat and sleep on our chairs.
But there was a day we went home for school vacation and upon resumption, we couldn’t find it at home again. Didn’t know what happened. We asked the person we left in the hostel and he said there was a day when it went out as usual and never returned since then. It was a pain and we all missed it so much.
Judging from both story and experience you already know what my answer would be. I would love to have cats as a pet rather than dogs. 😝 but when both animals begin to grow older I lose interest in them.

What are the top three qualities you look for in a friend?
**Good day, read stars ✨!**
Hope everyone is doing fine? Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. Life is good when you are blessed with the right people at the right time.
`I appreciate God for making me witness another beautiful day today. It’s never by my wisdom or power but by the grace of the lord and I would always continue to appreciate him for his blessings and mercy.`
Today is one of my friend's birthday 🥳 **yaaaay**!
He has been a good friend of mine for the past six years. He became a friend of mine during our first year in the university and we still made friends till we passed out from the university. Yeah, it’s been months since we saw each other but we still get connected via social media and calls. It is so rare to have a friendship last that long nowadays because of the recent changes ongoing in people’s life and mind. Once they find some other way to make wealth and they feel they are more of a higher class than you do then they would have to leave you and move on with those they felt are their class.
**Birds of the same feather flock together.**
There are many quotes about friendship and what they truly mean. But I realized when we get in touch with people and then we realize they are not our type, we keep our distance from them naturally and move on to someone else. But when you feel you got the right person then you become even closer than expected. The bond continues to grow tight and inseparable. So the term birds of the same feather work out perfectly.
**Show me your friend and I'll tell you who you are.**
This is just another beautiful way to determine your friendship. Most times we get influenced by so many things in life, one of which friends are among. A cool-headed man who makes friends with thugs and nuisance people would one day be influenced to join their clique. It might take a little time before he realized he started to act like one. Unless he finds his way out of such friendship. Being a friend with someone with a target and focus would surely pave the way for you to be determined. So it’s always advisable to make friends wisely.
Like I said, today is my friend’s birthday and I am dedicating this article to him. Many things would come to mind when you remember memories of the past and how quickly things had changed.
**What are the top three qualities you look for in a friend?**
The coincidence worked perfectly fine. On a friend's birthday, I have been thinking of what to write on but I got a notification on the word prompt above from Shadowspub. It was so amazing to have it at the right time. I head over to get my pen dancing.
**Trust**
Trust should be the first thing I would look into before going into any form of friendship. Having a friend you can trust is one gift that can never be bought. The essence of having a trustworthy friend is that you would always feel safe at all times and you believe your plans and secrets are also safe. Promises are broken due to a lack of trust among us. Which is one reason why trust should be of priority.
**Empathy**
Empathy is the ability to understand a friend, recognize how he/she is feeling, and interact or respond accordingly. What’s more important than a friend who understands you better, knows you do and don’t, and is always ready to keep to them. A caring friend is just another perfect attribute to have as a friend or find in any form of friendship.
**Loyalty**
Loyalty is unquestionably one of the most important qualities of a good friend. A loyal friend would always help you overcome your mistakes and would always stick with you through thick and thin. Everyone fears making mistakes and getting ignored by everyone, but a loyal friend would always stand by your side to support and render guidance at all costs.
There are more qualities of a good friend but I was restricted to mentioning three. **Some other qualities are honesty, respect, self-confidence, generosity, kindness, and many more.**
**To my friend celebrating his birthday today I want you all to help me wish him a prosperous birthday 🥳 and many more years to come in joy and happiness. May today continue to be a remarkable day with greater heights. More success and achievements.**
**Happy** birthday 🎂🎉🎁🎈🎊

Health versus wealth. What do you think about it?
**Hi everyone.**
*I hope we are having a nice time?* It's always cool to be here among my fellow writers who admire and appreciate the writing. The act of writing is still one of the best gifts one could have. Meanwhile being a writer alone couldn't make it fun without the readers and commenters. The conjunction of all these is what makes a family and that is why I appreciate everyone and every one of my time spent here on the platform. If not for you guys my account would just be a dormant one without use.
Glory be to the almighty God for his blessings upon us all. It is indeed the best of glory to sleep and wakes up as a whole, many wished to wake like we did but they couldn't. Many had woken up to places they never wished or planned for, but the grace of the Lord kept us alive and healthy.
**Let’s get to the topic of the day.**
**Health is wealth.**
Taking a good look at these two words we realize that both words are likely similar but the difference is the first word which gave them different meanings. The term health which means the state of being free from illness or injury could also be termed a state of one's mental or physical condition. The term wealth means an abundance of valuable possessions or money.
**Health vs wealth...**
It’s been said that there is a relationship between health and wealth. But the pure difference is that without health, wealth is useless. it would be of less or no importance.
Health is indeed wealth. But taking a good look at the scenario from another angle, most of the people with poor health are surely the poor ones because there is no sufficient amount of income to care for their health.
Hence both are interrelated to some extent as they work hands in hand. Another debate would prove it right that health is even more important because there is a saying that “when there is life there is hope”. In as much as one still remains healthy, there is always a ray of hope that the future is bright. wealth can surely come at any time. Then it’s only enjoyable to the ones who are perfectly healthy.
**Our health is important**
Right from our childhood days, we are taught how to keep our personal hygiene and its effect on our health. Taking nutritious meals and drinking clean water, taking our baths properly, and also caring for our nails. All these are what make one good health.
**How hospitalization became the source of death for many**
In this part of the world where I came from, I realized that the death of many is not really natural but the consequences of lack of proper healthcare. Many are not scared of paying a visit to the doctors but the fact that they never can tell what the doctor would say as the cause of their health issue and the amount to be sourced for treatment is what makes some people scared of visiting the hospital or consulting the doctor.
Normally, the hospital should be a place where we can feel free to visit at any point in time but the reverse is the case here in my country.
There was a family whose son was gravely sick 🤒 and had to pay an emergency visit to the hospital. They did all the best they could to get him to the hospital, upon their arrival the doctor said to them that their ward is in need of a huge amount of money and without the money, they can’t do anything to help them. They begged the doctor they didn’t have such a huge amount that was requested only if the doctor could help them out with the treatment and they would source for the money. The doctor said there is nothing he can do about it. Their son is dying in the hospital. They ran helter-skelter to source for the money but upon their arrival, the son already gave up.
**Conclusion**
Wealth is good, but health is more important at times wealth could bring back health but with health, you can always source wealth and enjoy it. Wealth without health is of no use.
It’s a pain that my country is still lagging behind so much when it comes to hospitalization. I hope someday it will turn out better.

October was cool 😎, November should be better…
**Hi everyone**
Today is surely another beautiful day on the earth's surface. It’s always cool to have the best of time amongst ourselves and make sure we enjoy it to the fullest. Life is all about the acronym **“YOLO” you only live once.** There is no probability that there is an extra time to live again after death unless we awaken to eternity which has no end. Good or bad whatever you wish, you would surely reap the fruit of what you sow.
~~I am not here to lecture but I would always love to make my first paragraph a reminder to all my readers. I hope we continue to have a reason to yield positive vibes and not negativity.~~
**Life is good…**
Most times we just have to taste the cruelty life brings along and at times the joy makes us feel overwhelmed. It’s always cool to be able to do the right thing at the right time and we should admit the fact that no condition is permanent. At times we make promises and fail them due to the situation of life and what life brings along to us all.
**October was good, November should be better.**
Yeah, I made an article last month about my goals and target for the month. But I was so disappointed at the end of the month that I couldn’t make up my targets. But a half loaf is better than none... In what way?? I was still able to accomplish some.
**My Target vs accomplishments**
I actually set 5 targets for myself to accomplish. I felt it would be hard to hit my target but I motivated myself by becoming a self-motivational speaker. I tried my best 😂. If no one appreciates me, I appreciate myself.
**My first target was to hit 30 articles for the month...**
I really tried a lot to make sure I accomplished this. But it was not really at the start but gradually I continued to keep my pace and consistency. Not until the week my convocation ceremony approached, I still try to keep it going but when It got to a few days to my convocation things got tougher then I began to miss out on my write-up for days. On this note, I would say I failed on this target but I was still above an average.
**The second target was to save at least $50 of BCH.**
I also tried in this aspect. The fact that I would just have to take out my savings is something inevitable. Like I said earlier that I had failed to make myself available online due to the fact that my convocation ceremony was fast approaching. I took out all my savings to pay some bills and bought some stuff too. But I rest assured I hit the target of more than $50 for the month. So this would be my first accomplishment.
**The third target was to get over 50 subscribers**
***This was also a success! Why?***
Back then I was only having a little number of subscribers, 34 in numbers then. Then I decided to promise myself to get up to 50.
I knew it wouldn't come easy because it’s always hard to get people to read your writing and enjoy them before they could click the subscribe button to follow you for more.
But by the grace of God, I was able to gather up to 52 subscribers. This is indeed not by my power but by the love you guys showered on me. I really appreciate you all for your constant support and encouragement.
**The fourth target is to gain more than 10 sponsors**
I am not really sure if I am to call this a success but I do know I hit the target at some time.
Actually, I only got 6 subscribers then, but with time I got to 12 subscribers around the middle of the month then I can’t say maybe it’s because I got less active or my subscribers are the ones less active they reduced to 9 presently. Even if I couldn’t hit the target I was closer...
**The last was to grant sponsorship to 20 members above**
This is one aspect I knew I failed a lot. Why? I could only renew my sponsorship but I could add more because I already used almost all the money on me for my convocation ceremony. I am so disappointed in myself for this drastic failure in this aspect. 🤦♂️
**Conclusion**
The month of October is gone and we gradually welcomed the month of November hahaha. Just one more month to go till the end of the year. Then it’s all over for the year 2021 as we all prepare to warm welcome to the new year 2022.
Let’s all try to have it in mind that our determination determines success. Like I said in my write-up that I was disappointed 😔, if I wasn’t lazy back then all these targets should be a story. But laziness and procrastination made me lose focus and become less determined.
So I am not blaming my failure on anyone rather blaming myself to do better next time.

One bad apple can spoil the bunch…
**Hi everyone**
Hope you all are having fun and a nice time over there. Yesterday was Monday and we were having a *“sit at home”* in the western southeastern part of the country. Yeah like I said I would continue to give time for my articles on the platform again since our days off on the camp here are numbered and today should be the last day for us to pass out. Yaaaay!
`All thanks and appreciation to the almighty God who created life and all in it. I do say this in all my articles. It’s never by our power but by the grace of the almighty for all he has done for us. Waking up today and experiencing a better life is indeed a grace upon us.`
Life is cool as the weather over here is also cool and cold. It looks like it will rain heavily in the afternoon but now here we are not experiencing anything as such. The weather is just so cold and here I am in my shorts and sleeveless round neck top. The weather is just too cold that I would tag it a ***“weather for two”*** or a ***“weather for tea”.*** Whichever one is available to cuddle 🤗. 😆 😂
Today was one of my worst experiences here at camp. It was sunny noon here. Then we were asked to move out to the parade ground for our daily activities. It was fun at first because everyone was gisting and having fun with friends. Not until one of the soldiers monitoring the camp activities came and told us not to make noise. We thought he was joking, he warned us that he would punish us if we dare make any noise again after he warned us. We all failed to comply then he asked us to sit on the floor. 😂 everyone still thought he was joking because they are friendly most of the time. That’s just the way they are.
He went away and told the junior soldiers to monitor us. That’s when I knew humans behave like animals at times 😂 and fail to listen to simple instructions. Most of us were silent but the noisy and naughty ones among us made us a scapegoat. The commanding officer in charge came to us and told us to stand up and scout down. It continued that way for minutes under the scorching sun 🥵. Many couldn’t hold on any longer. They fainted on their stand and were rushed to the camp’s clinic for care. It wasn’t easy but still, the commanding officer never mind. He was determined to punish us all for our disobedience.
I was stressed out and after minutes of up and down, he decided to set us free, getting back to sitting on the floor again and maintaining perfect silence. 😂 so everyone could keep quiet 🤫 I wondered. Everywhere was as quiet as a graveyard. Then the marching parade went on and was successfully concluded. We were released to go back to our hostels and have our lunch.
After taking my lunch I went to take my bath and slept off immediately. I woke up after three hours and tried to plan an article for the day.
**Conclusion**
It’s always good to obey instructions. And most times bad vibes are like the bile in animals, when mistakenly spilled on the other part of the meat then it spreads its sourness to every part of that meat rendering it useless and tasteless. The people we move with would surely have a great impact on our lives and your coexistence with them would determine your pace. When a good heart is surrounded by bad people, it would be so hard to change them all. Instead, he might get influenced so easily compared to a bad heart residing among good hearts then I would say such a heart is definitely going to become a good one with time.
Know the kind of clicks you plan to move with because they would always have an impact on you. Remember when the soldiers decided to punish the noisemakers we all got punished.
**Have a nice day**

It’s been a while my readcash families
**Hi everyone.**
`All thanks to God almighty the source that created life and all in it. I would always give thanks to him for all he has done. Sleeping yesterday and waking up today is never by my power or wisdom but by his grace and benevolence upon us.`
It’s been some time I got time to write something. Because I realized even writing itself needs peace of mind and to have the perfect time to reason alongside one’s thoughts and ideas. If you have ideas and are not at an advantage, sitting down and writing whatever you have in your head is just like fetching your water in a basket.
Come to think of it, we encounter different phases of life. Since the day we are born into this world we just have to move from one phase to another. Getting over one stage to another we would always think the more we move forward in life the more we get relieved but it’s not that way. When we get there is when we realize that the next phase is no resting place.
Take for example, when a woman gets married and she is pregnant. She moved from a phase of life to another becoming a mother. While she is in her pregnancy period she would always wish and pray she delivers her child peacefully and safely. So she could be relieved from the pregnancy pain. But after delivery, she would still have to get to move to another phase of life where she would have to dedicate all her time, day and night to care for the child 🧒. Another phase she would wish to overcome. Thinking when her child grows she would get relieved but the next phase isn’t that easy as expected. She would still have to source more income to feed the child, educate and even satisfy their wants. This is how it continues until one's life come to an end
What’s the cause of all the stories?
I appreciate everyone that asks after me in one way or the other. I have been offline for days and weeks now. But I thank God for life and everything. It’s been so stressful lately but we keep moving with strength and happiness. Most times we just create happiness for ourselves and make sure we live a blissful life.
Just like I made an article on camp life. About my journey from Ilorin to Ebonyi state for my youth service corps. I decided and was also determined to write each post all day for October. But when things got a turnaround and busy days overtook my little time I was left with no option than to fail my promise. But I would say I accomplished some of my goals for October. I would probably make a post on that in the coming days.
I would also keep writing more on the platform as our days here on camp are numbered. If I could recall well, the last time I was able to make a post on the platform was last week Sunday. And it’s all because we are given a little bit of freedom for the day till evening time. So that’s what we are having for this week too, it’s probably our free time this week so I am free to put something down again.
I have missed a lot here on the platform and my days here on the platform too. Hahaha. I realized it’s not really about the monetary aspect but the love, connection, togetherness, and friendly family the platform had brought for me. Can’t wait for my busy days here on camp to be over so I can get back to my normal activities here on readcash and noisecash again.
I would make sure I give you the full list of all how I spent my three weeks camping exercises here. It was fun and at the same time stressful. I am sure you would all 😉 enjoy and wish to know how my stay here at Ebonyi state was. Once again I missed you all so much. My readcash families. ❤️ 😘

Camp life.
**Hi everyone.**
It’s been days since I came online. I have not been very active for some weeks to our convocation ceremony. It was indeed a success and a blessed one for us all. I was so happy because it was just another great day of life. I have been anticipating graduation right from my days at elementary school. When I do see some of our seniors passing out of school I would always feel like when is it going to be my turn? Am I going to get to this stage? When would it be? What year? How old would I be by then? But here I am today making my way out of the higher institutions. Just like yesterday. I give thanks to the almighty God for everything.
`Today is another gray Friday on the earth's surface. We are close to the weekends as usual. And I urge us to make sure we have a nice time with families and friends. One thing we are to know is the fact that the moments we spend together today would surely become a memory tomorrow. Good or bad, whichever you do today would surely haunt you down tomorrow.`
Yeah, I think I had enough of the story and I should get back to the real deal for the day.
**Camp life.**
Day 1.
****Journey To Ebonyi state.****
It was a great journey down to Ebonyi state. We planned to leave the car pack as early as 7:00 am pst because it is a long journey and most of us traveling are students so we booked our tickets some days before our journey. We went to the park and made inquiries on how their buses looked and what time of movement we were to take off. We paid for a whole bus which should carry at least 15 passengers. We secured the bus already so we can get on our journey as soon as possible. It was the D-day and we kicked off.
The funniest thing I realized that day was the fact that we were the first to kick off but we encountered a strange driver and his strange bus. We were bothered at first and tried to complain to the manager about the neatness of his bus but the manager said, if you can’t get on the bus then you are going nowhere because there is no other bus again. 😂.
We had no choice but to opt-in immediately. Which we later regretted. We kicked off before any other bus and we but our driver is fully drunk 😵 🥴. We move on.
****On the way****
The road was cool as we journeyed from Kwara to Ekiti state and we all had a nice trip through the cities. Ekiti is so much beautiful with lots of hilly and the Rocky Mountains, cool weather, and a tropical 🌴 area too. We passed Ekiti state and got to the border of Ekiti and Kogi state. At this point, we were already exhausted and tired. Most felt hungry. It isn’t easy to sit for hours and it is already past lunchtime. We spent almost 6hours already and we never even got to one-quarter of our destination. The driver promised us to stop by a food canteen for us to have lunch before we continue our journey.
****At the food canteen.****
Wow! We were all happy to drop and stretch our bodies. Then our driver went to his corner to have something for himself and we also went our way to get something.
We branched into a bread and egg store. After buying the bread 🥖 and fried egg then I took my first bite of it, I chewed it for about 10 minutes as I find it hard to swallow. I would have thrown it away but I am so much hungry 🤤. I lost 😞 appetite. The bread was not freshly made and was so hard. I just had to manage it for the journey to continue.
Yeah, this is where I would have to stop for today and bring more gist some other day. My journey to the east was so amazing.

Days are numbered 123…
**Hi everyone**
`Been a long time here on the platform and I would make sure to make myself available again. It’s been a hectic week for me. But by the grace of God we continue to strive forward.`
It’s been said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with the right step. The right step at the right time makes a beautiful and amazing journey.
**Just like yesterday.**
Only if the egg has not been hatched would the chick 🐣 never develop. It’s been a great journey right from my days at elementary school to date. It’s never by my power or might but by the grace of the lord. I would always continue to appreciate him for all he has done in my life.
**It was a delay, not denial.**
I could remember well when I got admitted to the university of my choice. It’s been over three years since I have been seeking admission into the university. It was indeed something so serious because it is obvious that the occurrence of peer pressure is bound to occur. When you would have to see your friends pack their luggage and make their way into the university of their choice. Come to think of the social media impressions too. Only a smart one can hold for long. Most of the time I have the energy to do better and at times I feel depressed. But when I look at those that had more qualifications than I am and are still yet to make it into the university. I would always have a reason to do more.
Life ain’t easy. We just have to fight through the struggle. In the 12th month of the year 2015. It was like a breakthrough for me as I was so happy that every day I have been dreaming to find my way to this very university. It was indeed a pleasure to gain admission and become a student after so many years. It was a late admission so I had to pack up my load in no time and find a way out into the schooling process. I thought schooling was easy because of the mufti we wear and also not putting on socks and also having free time from home chores and gaining that freedom of our own.
Little did I know that the stress of even making it to the university is nothing compared to home chores. 😂. When you have to run up and down from one lecture hall to another, receive three hours of lectures while standing on your feet, run about for registration and the like, days when you would not have something to eat but no choice but to go to classes.
**It’s been a blessing.**
Delayed but not denied. We kept on moving up the stairs gradually, then I realized the saying ‘journey of a thousand miles begins with the right step’. And yeah, my journey began. I passed through the five years in the university and an additional year of coronavirus too. Yet it ended with a successful story.
**Days are numbered**
Just like the title, our days are indeed numbered even our breaths in life are numbered. You can’t live past your time. Instead, what would happen would surely happen when the time comes. We can’t change what has happened no matter how much we cry. So it’s great to have the best of times together with loved ones while it lasts.
**Countdown to my last paper**
Yeah, we have been writing and writing after a lot of reading day in day out. It wasn’t easy, how interesting would schooling be if we were just to attend classes and then go home after the session ends, it would have been better and I would even want to continue attending school, but exams are the only thing that can calm a student down since we never know the outcome of our result would be. It’s been said that the only thing capable of curtailing a student is examination. And I am grateful to the almighty God for the success. I have written almost 93+ courses in 10 semesters and 5 academic years.
Finally!, straight out of school. A graduate!!!! Yeah!!
https://pixabay.com/photos/graduation-graduation-day-2038864/
Waaaaaaawwwwwwuuuuuuu!!! 👩🎓
It’s been a long journey so far. Through thick and thin, the ups and downs, but yeah, it was a journey. Finally, on the 23rd of October, I made my way out of the university and became a fresh graduate.
**Prayer and conclusion**
Now that we got our certificates, we pray to the Almighty God to continue to spare our lives and make our certificates a beginning to greater heights and accomplishments.
There is much to say about the country and its job opportunities. We would always have to struggle hard to make a living and there is low or no employment. Rather it’s better to be self-employed than to keep ourselves out there seeking some white-collar job that is indeed not available for us.
Prayer should be our sword and the key to open all doors, it should be our guide and your way. It should always become a part of us. We have to pray like we don’t know how to work. then work like we don’t know how to pray.

I bought my NYSC kits with BCH 🤩
`Hi everyone`
It’s been a stressful week for me right from the beginning, which was Monday. I have been trying to prepare for the upcoming convocation ceremony of our school which is scheduled to be held tomorrow. And less God your friend McYusuf is among the graduates who is leaving the prestigious university. Unto the next level.
Mixed feelings everywhere, it ain’t easy to leave your friends you have been together for years, read together, slept together, had a lot of gists even at times while receiving lectures, prepared for exams and tests and all those vibes. It was indeed a great time with pleasure.
Yesterday I got a message from a friend of mine inviting me to a get-together. It was all about celebrating our progress and cheers 🥂 to our next phase of life. We know it’s ain’t easy out there in this country we are but at least we have taken another step forward in the book of life. The struggle would always continue but we want it to be a fruitful one.
I woke up this morning and tried to make plans for my movement for the day. I need to get my NYSC kits ready for my journey to camp. Hehehe Nigerians would understand what NYSC means well, it is a mandatory program for all graduates to serve the nation and their father’s land. Then they become certified.
I have been expecting a sum of money to get them but my plan was always a failure or disappointment. I decided to get the price list from the market but when I discovered the huge increase in price just because we are at the last minute to get them. Finally, I realized I just have to chill and probably get it when I have the money.
I have been trying to save some amount of $50 BCH right from the beginning of this month as I already added it to my goals for the month. It wasn’t that bad because I already got more than $50. But everything got choked up, little amount was left with me as fiat, then I saw a friend of mine on a WhatsApp group who advertised about the kits.
They were somehow cheaper and okaay. I messaged the seller and told him if he accepts cryptocurrency as payment. His answer was “what coin are you paying with? Then I asked him if he would accept BCH?? 😂 since BCH is the coin I got to make transactions at a lower rate of gas fee also faster to transfer and receive.
I asked him if the price was all I wanted to buy. I got his advertisement and saw that the total amount was just $30. Just for the essential materials to be needed at camp. I asked him to get a full package for me and make his delivery
By evening time, he had already made the delivery to my doorstep, so I requested his crypto BCH wallet address so I can send him some BCH. I made my first payment with BCH getting my NYSC kits.
I would always love to see SmartBCHnetwork become the best among blockchains. And it would be a great pleasure and honor to me.
**So here are the kits my little bch could afford for me today.**
My rubber sneakers for size 44 lol.. I am a bit late 😂
Two shorts
****complete all I wrote.****
It was indeed my pleasure to have all these through my bch earnings here. Though I might have just started, the journey had been a great one for me.
I am extending my appreciation to all workers, readers and commenters of the platform. It has indeed been a nice time to be precise. God help us all.
My first time asking a girl out.
**Hi everyone**
**My first experience asking a lady out**
You wanna read the clforst part about coming? Check out below
HERE https://read.cash/@McYusuf/my-first-time-experience-894ceca0
I am that shy type. Though jovial and jokes a lot. So those ladies get closer to me and would always love to play around me but my shy self would run away from them most of the time. I remembered when a girl who was our classmate had to hug me because I got the answer to the mathematical questions we had been solving for hours 😂. I got shocked like an electric current just passed through me
Most times I ignore their handshakes. I am not a freaky kind of person. Not really a misogynist but I am just kind of taking myself off them.
I remembered when @Maryjacy came to my DM one day and our conversation went on till she curiously sent me a kiss sticker and then I told her I needed the real one. Then she was like if you can come have it lol **( all jokes)**. But the response was ***“I never kissed a lady before”***. She was shocked to have heard my response and said she never believed what I just said. 😂
Is it a crime not to kiss? She said NO but it sounds somehow. 😂
She never believed me until the end. Then I told her if a lady I am dating tried to kiss me by force then I might run away! Far far away! Lol, she burst into laughter and our conversation continued. That’s just the kind of person I am when it comes to matters of ladies. I hardly look a lady in the eyes. Maybe my wife should be the first
`Thanks for the encouragement ❤️`
**Back to the real deal of the day**
My first time experiencing what I could call asking a lady out was when I was in my college days. I was still a little younger but more mature then. My desk was on the third roll in front of the class. I wasn’t that serious but not among the class backbenchers. I would say I am just an average student in the class.
Then there was this lady whose father just brought her resume with us and she came into the class while we were having a class then. I can’t remember exactly what class it was then but the teacher in charge instructed her to sit right in front of me. Everyone in the class was staring at her especially the guys, she was tall to a certain height, fair in complexion not too light and not too dark, she also had this kind of little and pointed nose which brought about more beauty to her face in addition to her dimples. She was just a perfect lady. I won’t lie, I also fell for her at first sight.
She wore jeans and a top since she was about to get her school uniform. While she sat at my front I was just staring at her backside and lost concentration. I think this naughty friend of mine had been studying me for a long time. He held my hands so quickly and used my hands to tap her at the back. Haha. I was shocked when she looked back at me. Then I was like 😳. “I am sorry I would like to ask if you are getting along with the class?” 😂. She smiled and nodded her head in response to my questions. Then I faced my friend and tapped him on the head while smiling. We both smiled and winked at each other in happiness.
I was thinking of talking to her and expressing my feelings for her, but I was thinking I should just give her some days then I would have my shot. Had I known! Haha. My friend already took that step and went to propose to her. She would always follow us on our way home. I thought she already fell for me without knowing my friend was the real deal. Not until a day when she carried something heavy on her way home then I felt like I should help my love 😍. I carried it for her for a long-distance. Then it was about time I would have to depart from her and head home. She then said thank you 🙏. ***I said “everything for you”! 😂*** my heart already gone so far. Then she tapped me in the back and smiled. 😂 maybe I was just nothing but a fool in the ocean of fake love ❤️
The next day I already composed a love letter expressing how I felt to her. I left an option for a yes or no in the letter. I left it on her table while going out for a break. I was just so happy to get a response from her. Then after break time she already left it on my table to read. when I read, 😢 😢 my childish proposal was denied. I couldn’t cry. I experienced the heartbreak of the highest order ❤️🩹 💔 😂. But later on, I found out my friend was the real reason behind her denying my proposal. I was angry at first but later on, I moved on knowing the mistake was from my side for not expressing my feelings on time.

My first time experience
**Hi everyone.**
Hope you are having a good time over there in the part of the world you are in. It is raining here as I am getting myself prepared to sleep but I still have much on my table to be attended to. The weather is cool and I am not married. So nothing like weather for 2. I just had to put on my headset and play some music while composing this. And I hope you have a nice time reading.
**My first cooking.**
If you are a typical Nigerian, you grew up in this country and you are not a *“get inside”* child, then you should have your first cooking from the mum and dad play we made outside where we will cook our meals with sand and also serve ourselves the so-called food on leaves or bottle covers. 😂. I enjoyed those days. Gone are the days.
**But officially; My first cooking experience was a whack**.
I remembered back then when I had to prepare my first meal. 😂. At times it is always good to make mistakes because it would surely open room for improvement. But when one denies the opportunity to learn and is always scared to make mistakes then I would say it might turn out difficult to pave the way towards making one's better become best.
I would always stay with mum in the kitchen not for learning, but for getting the opportunity to have a first-hand taste of the meal with mum especially when it is time to fry meat or fish. I am sure if I had helped her pass the spoon and the frypan. I helped her wash the dishes she might want to be in need of. I would always get a taste too. That was my first impression of the kitchen.
As time goes on I advance more. From helping her get cooking utensils I got an upgrade to supporting her to clean the fish and meat, grinding pepper, and some other petty kinds of stuff but still, I wasn’t given the access to get closer to the stove. And that’s indeed my target.
It went on like this for days, weeks, months, and even years. I was still unable to start cooking and I wasn’t much concerned because I knew one day the time would come.
There was a day Mum went on a trip. She already prepared all the meals we have to eat for all her days out of the home. So her mind would be at rest that we have no or less problem when it comes to feeding. I wasn’t satisfied with the food at home. I wanted to taste the food I prepared. So I waited and monitored my brother and sister till they fell asleep. I also acted like I was sleeping then I woke up gently and headed over to the kitchen to check the stove and I realized there was still some kerosene left in there. I went to the backyard and harvested some pepper 🌶 and vegetables. I started to tiptoe so I won’t call the attention of my brother and sister who were asleep. I went to the kitchen to prepare the soup 😂. If you could see the happiness in my face then. You would think I won a lottery. I lit the stove and then dropped a stainless plate on it so it would absorb heat faster and quicker. I added some oil and left it to get hot. I just assumed the minute mum would leave it on fire without knowing there is a difference in using the pot mum uses and the stainless I was about to use.
The next thing I did after waiting for a long time was to add the pepper to it. I already mixed the pepper with water so I poured it into the hot oil. Immediately I poured the pepper, the stainless caught fire 🔥 and everything started to burn because of the overheated oil. I was in despair meanwhile I didn't want my brother to wake and catch me in the act. I poured a lot of water to stop the fire. Then immediately I used my bare hands to hold the stainless plate to drop it…
Ooh 😮 ! I shouted and started to jump up and down flinging my fingers then dipped it in a bucket of water 💧 to cool. The sound of the stainless already woken my brother and sister up. 😂 They came looking at me and my drama in the kitchen and started to laugh 😂. I was ashamed of myself.
My brother told me to get another vegetable then we started the cooking all over. He was like a pro in my face as he made everything so perfect. He used the pot instead of a stainless. Wow 🤩! His soup was ready then it’s time to have a taste. After taking my first bite, then the three of us looked each other in the eye and burst out with laughter. Immediately I spite out the soup and shouted too much salt!!! 🤣 😆 😂. We later poured the rubbish soup away.
**My first time asking a girl out**
I should compose something on this too as the challenge requested but I would keep this for another article. Not to make my article a boring epistle.

Laziness won the battle… I won’t accept defeat.
**Hi everyone**
`Today is another day again. We have to keep appreciating the almighty God for our existence. What more do we have to offer if not praise and adoration. He kept us alive and healthy in his benevolence. It's not by our power or our might but the grace of thy Lord 🙏.`
Monday is gone 🙂 and there comes Tuesday. Today is a public holiday to everyone in our country, the federal government has declared today a public holiday to celebrate the mawlid of the beloved prophet **Muhammad** *(peace be upon him).*
I have been so lazy these days but it's not my fault because what I have to pass through is just so much. I have been preparing ahead for my convocation ceremony. So many things to put in place and some other arrangements too. My NYSC registration was a success and I have been posted but I would still keep it a secret till the perfect time to unleash it for you all. It might be based on my experience and all sorts. Money! Money!! is all I need right now! Lol 😆. Maybe there is this good Samaritan who God would send to help me out. Anything can happen.
I have been planning to write on many topics because yesterday I should have made two articles to balance up but I was so stressed out even for today I am already feeling sleepy. I wrote an article on the acrostic challenge then I also promised myself to work on the bitcoin cash acrostic but was still unable to compose any word on that. Furthermore, I read another article by princess Busayo where she wrote an article with her name as an acrostic.
Another acrostic challenge for me but still laziness won the battle against me. Another aspect that showed up for me to write on was the prompt by Jonica which was totally about me with the prompt word "laziness". But still, laziness won the battle 😭😭🤣🤣. Down to George_dee's post where he made a great challenge to write about our past but I was still unable to accomplish them. Then I realized I am the true definition of laziness.
**Battle with laziness**
Laziness could be seen as the unwillingness to do work or the ability to not make use of one’s energy which could also be termed idleness.
We all have this lazy side of us. We just have to struggle alongside and make sure we get to bring back our energy to do the expected.
It is said that an idle hand is a devil's workshop. Which could be eventually true. When one gets lazy for a little time, we can also call it having some rest. But when it becomes conversant and consistent then it’s no more rest it already got to the definition of laziness.
**Laziness leads to procrastination**
Indeed laziness would make one skip a lot of things that ought to be done at the right time. Postponing things till further notice is surely an act of laziness. Which surely would have an effect in one way or the other. I would take myself as an example.
I have been planning to do some laundry for days now but I kept on procrastinating. I continued to postpone it every time and did nothing but sleep and eat then browse on my phone. The cloth won’t take me up to 1hr to wash but I felt like it would take a whole week. Not until this morning when I got a sudden call to report somewhere immediately. I was rushing to prepare before I noticed I hadn't washed most of my clothes. But luckily I still have one left in my box, so I thought to myself what if the remaining one wasn’t present what would I wear? Then I felt like the first thing I would do when I get home is laundry and make sure I never delay it like before anymore.

Why Not Acrostic (A writing challenge)…
**W**aking up today is another beautiful day to witness. All thanks and grace to the Almighty God that created life and all in it. Life is good when we believe in ourselves and live our lives, not in the shadows of other people. You never can tell what they have been through and how well they had to cope with life on their own side. Some people would always have to play with a smile on their faces but deep inside of them there is surely something bothering them. So it’s always better not to judge a book by its cover.
**H**appiness is free, it is something you have to create for yourself. Happiness doesn't really have a price. It’s said that happiness comes to those who seek it. Status isn’t a factor when it comes to happiness, whether you are poor or rich never matters. Old or young, male or female, none matters. Just make sure you have a pure heart in you. Feel free to forgive and forget then you realize the so-called happiness would have become an order of the day.
**Y**esterday was so stressful for me, I had to walk around the street to get something to eat. My friend and I decided to take a meal which is a bit different from the common rice and bean which had become the meal we get used to all day out. As a bachelor, it is not really easy to think of a better meal to cook, and also laziness is something that affected us. How about we fry some plantain and egg? He suggested it!. Hahaha, that would have been great 👍 then we started the process by down the street to get some plantain to fry. We had later found a store to get it and the pricing was still okay for us at a price of 1$ then we bought the other ingredients and the eggs for another 1$.
**N**othing lasts forever, after having tasted the plantain I felt like it shouldn't finish anymore. Maybe we should have bought more and fried many of them so I can eat till my tummy burst 💥 out.
**O**ut of curiosity, I got in touch with some content on the platform making an entry to a writing challenge. At first, I came across with @BCH_LOVER post where she made a post using the **Bitcoin cash acrostic** and I think I made a promise to opt for the challenge. She used her own version of the challenge. So I decided to tap to the root and get to the source of the challenge, then I discovered she got the trend from @CoquiCoin with the article **Never say no to challenge your writing** and also Coquicoin got her own challenge from The will to write by **@Jane** and also Jane got the challenge from the source Why Not Acrostic by @McJulez https://read.cash/@BCH_LOVER/bitcoin-cash-acrostic-a5f96c6e https://read.cash/@CoquiCoin/never-say-no-to-challenge-your-writing-840c681a https://read.cash/@Jane/the-will-to-write-30ddf5d8 https://read.cash/@McJulez/why-not-acrostic-98a2d856
**T**his was how the downlines to the challenge went. So I was able to get to the source before writing anything. Then I got to a point where I have to make a decision on which to write and which to ignore. I have been on this contemplation since yesterday, not giving me the chance to write anything. But after much deliberation, I decided to go for both. Hahaha. 😂 looks like a suicide mission. I don’t really know how to go about it. 😂 but I just believe I can and I will.
**A**ccording to **mylagoslately’s** Instagram post 14 hours ago, I read a sad and touching story about life and injustice. It was about a young boy whose name is **George Stinney, a 14-year-old boy who was the youngest person to be sentenced to death in the United States.** He was executed by electric chair in 1944. 😢
Image sourced from the Instagram page of the writer https://www.instagram.com/p/CVGdWcLt3jI/?utm_medium=share_sheet
**C**ountdown to the date of his execution, he was said to always carry a bible in his hand claiming innocence. George was accused of killing two white girls whose dead bodies were found close to the apartment where he lives with his parents.
**R**ight or wrong, justice should be justified. The jurors were all whites and the boy's parents were not allowed in the courtroom and were subsequently expelled from the city after the trial. What a harsh world! No matter what I think the parents still have the right to see their son even if he was guilty of the offense.
**O**n the day of execution, he was still denied to see his parents, Goerge already spent 81 days in prison calling for innocence. Then he was taken far away, his voice was heard alone and he had no one to talk to.
**S**o sad to hear that he was electrocuted with 5380 volts in the head. What a death! Justice or no justice he was killed. How about the innocence he was trying to prove? No one toils hear him out. What a strange world.
**T**here is a saying in Yoruba that goes thus; Lies might prevail for years, but one day the truth shall be uncovered. 70 years after his innocence was finally proven by a judge in South Carolina.
**I**t was said that the beam in which the two girls were killed weighed more than 19.07kg. Therefore it is impossible for the boy to be able to lift it come to talk of hitting it on the girls enough to kill them.
****C******onclusion**
This was just a sad story for me. While reading the content from his I remembered the movie I watched some years ago. About a man who was falsely accused of killing. He knew he was innocent and his family also knew but they never had the money to a good judge for justice and in addition, they were blacks. Not until a black judge rose and took up the case then after many years was able to prove his innocence. I don’t know if this is because of racism or all sort of things. But I think justice should be justice and nothing more. There should be honesty, equity, and sincerity before a judge could come to a conclusion.
I am so happy I was able to complete this challenge. At first, I thought I was not going to finish it up. Finally, I did. I would be making a write for the acrostic Bitcoin Cash in a few hours time
Thanks so much for reading

I was a fool, my first and the last SCAM experience
**Hi all**
`Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. Why should we not appreciate our existence? It’s never by our power but the grace of the Almighty upon us all. We wake up all day to give thanks to him.`
Today is another weekend. So fast to see how time flies. Sooner or later we count the last day of the month and count forward to another day of the new year. Gradually and gradually we continue to count till our last day on earth.
Life is too short. Why don’t we spend the little time we have with family, friends, and loved ones. We take all the other days to be our busy times, but how about weekends? Make sure you go out with friends and vacation with families, take a tour and create wonderful memories together. I am not here to preach but one last piece from me to you is the fact the person we see today might be no more tomorrow and gone forever. To those that continue to cut ties with families, that's for you.
`Thanks for the encouragement ❤️`
**To the real deal of the day!**
How I got SCAMMED, for the first and the last time.
It’s not easy trying to be new to some places and at times some things in life. I was new to cryptocurrency back then in the year 2018 then. Days when we write and post content on the steemit platform. It was indeed one of the best experiences I had about blogging and also cryptocurrency back then. Though I don’t know much.
There was this group chat on telegram where we traded our tokens back then. We sell SBD and Steem dollars to vendors who are ready to buy them from us and pay with their cash. At times we do have the presence of a middle man called ESCROW, and the escrow most times is the job of the group admin
If you are a trader on the group chat, it has been prohibited to buy directly from members of the group unless you pass through the escrow.
I have been trading in the group and this wasn’t my first time. I already made more than four successful trades on the platform through escrow indeed. And it was so much easier for me not until this very day.
I have been so hungry from school stress and lack of funds to buy foodstuffs. If you are a user of steemit or hive you realize that payouts would always have to get to you only after the 7 days countdown towards the reward distribution. It was my payout day but I just have to wait for a few more hours before it gets in. I chilled a lot and was temporarily happy that at least I would find myself something better to eat at least.
Finally, I got my tokens in my wallet. I went down the group to make sales as usual when I got to the group chat I saw loads of messages. Hahaha who had the time to read these bulky messages? I can’t. I scrolled it all till the end. And never attempted to read anything from the group conversation. Hurriedly I typed it into the group chat “SBD for sale” then immediately someone had centered down to my DM and gave me a direct message with the name and the profile picture of the admin. I had a second thought that how come would the group admin knew to be an escrow be the one in my DM chatting with me. I was thinking since he is the admin he might have needed some quick token for something so he decided to come for a fast buy.
I told him to let’s go to the group and make use of the escrow to make our trades. He decided to add more to the buying price. Hahaha. I was so pleased to have gotten a good and lucky buyer, I decided to keep it to myself and give my brother the gist about my profit after I sold them off to him. I tried sending my steem token for the first time. It never went through. I did it several times so this guy can pay me my money on time. I was so hungry 🤤 and I can’t just wait to receive the payment to my bank account
He asked me if I had more to send for trading. Then I asked him to make payment for the first token I sent him. Then he said he is having network issues with his bank so he should be able to send it all at once
I told him to give me some minutes, then I told my friend about the amount the vendor wanted to buy from me. He also wished to make sales and tried transferring his amount to me but it wasn’t going through on his side. So I told him I would help him send it from my wallet then he can pay me back. I headed over to the vendor and sent it to him. It woke me up and I was expecting my money from him. I was about to ask him if he had sent my money or not before I realized his last telegram account displayed some years ago! As his last seen😢.
Hahaha. I was so shocked. I closed the app and opened it again. I checked and cross-checked the chat and the last seen was still the same. This person was online recently but how come? He already blocked and blocked his account. I can’t cry!
The hunger began to worry me more that it almost became worse for me. I felt sad and depressed because that was the little amount I had left then.
https://pixabay.com/illustrations/phishing-fraud-cyber-security-3390518/
I told my brother about it then he scolded me and said I already fell for the scammer. They have been making announcements in the group since morning. My eyes got widely 🤕 opened as I couldn’t even control my emotions anymore. I went to the group and scrolled up, I saw the messages from the admin repeatedly warning everyone about the so-called scammer. I couldn’t cry. I got more depressed and felt like cursing him till eternity.
My brother checked the address the scammer sent me and we realized he already scammed thousands of the tokens from people and accumulated them all in one wallet. My brother, out of sympathy for me, sent me a little amount to buy some food. I was so happy but still much sadder deep inside of me. I told my friend about it too and he laughed and called me a fool for falling into the hands of a scammer and was thankful he hadn't sent me his token. He sent me a small amount too. I never got my real self for weeks. The money affected almost everything in my body system.
Since then I made a promise to myself not to ever fall into the hands of a scammer anymore. My friends still make jokes about me and laugh out loud when they remember how pitiful I was on that very day. I would also laugh because it all happened in the past and nothing as such happened after that. I learned my lesson.

Three thing to keep private in your life
**Good day everyone**
`Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. I have been posting my articles here until midnight for some days now. Hahaha. But one thing I am certain of is the fact that midnight here is surely noon somewhere else in this same world we are living in. They also did sleep like we had and also woke as we did also. The noon over there in some other countries is surely evening time for some others. So that’s just how life revolves.`
Today was pretty cool. It rained some days ago but the sun is not that scorching. So we are still good to go. I have been preparing a lot for my convocation ceremony which will come up in a few days' time. So I have had some little time to spend on engagement. But I would make sure not to lose track because it’s still there in my October goals and I am yet to meet the target.
Just like yesterday when I was writing about my goals and accomplishments for the month. Today marks the half of the month. *Who can tell how fast time flies?* Before the blink of an eye, we would realize it’s already month end and we begin to wish ourselves a happy new month again. I pray this month of ***“bers”*** continues to favor us and I seek refuge from all kinds of disaster and sadness.
`Thanks so much for the encouragement ❤️`
**To the deal of the day.**
I have been trying to compose this wire up since morning but I was unable to round it up. Sometimes in our lives, we just have to keep some things to ourselves and there are also things you mustn’t keep to yourself. Most times we are the cause of our own problems when we never learn how to keep our mouths shut and quiet.
**I am sharing with you all tonight “Three things to keep private”**
*It might be more than three based on your own point of view and your own opinions.*
**Income**
Your income should be kept private from others. At first, I would love to ask a question. *Why must you flaunt your earnings to others? For them to know you are rich?* I don’t really get it. Your earnings and income should be kept to yourself.
Most times when some people get robbed of their money or valuables. I don’t find them to be sympathetic, because most of the time they would be the ones to call those in need of the money or valuables to come for it. Take for example someone on a call with someone else who may be in a public bus or somewhere crowded and full of strangers. At places like this, you see them blabbering their mouths about the cash sent into their bank account, the huge amount of transactions they made for the day. These are what some people might have overheard and then set up a plan for such a person. Then at the end of the day, you see them out on the streets crying for mercy on how they were robbed.
Another reason to keep your income to yourself is the fact of oppression and depression. Some people beside you, *who knows?* Who knows what they are passing through at the moment. You don’t just mention a huge amount in front of them when you know that they can’t afford such huge amount.m, or even a family that is finding it hard to put their hands to their mouth. If the family isn’t strong they might fall into depression.
Your spouse has the right to know about your income. But better be wise on what you spend your income on and make sure to keep a little privacy to yourself.
**Love life**
Your love life should always be kept private. I repeat keep whatever has happened to you in your relationship to your relationship and not gossip about your relationship with just anyone. One thing we don’t know is that ***“not everyone is happy towards our success”*** so they are always there to await downfall and most of the time be the source of break up in relationships, divorce in marriage also.
There is a hairdresser's shop adjacent to our house. Most times I walk past their shop, they are always gathered to gossip about their husbands. From there, someone who had already ruined her love life would still come around and pretend they are having a happy love life, listen to your story, and also try to make sure they ruin such a happy home by giving fake advice and enhance evil discussions that can ruin a marriage or relationship.
**Next move.**
Lastly is your next move. Make sure to keep it private. There are loads of reasons for you to keep them private. The world is filled with people with good intentions and all people with bad intentions and you can’t really tell who is who! So why not just keep it to yourself, take that move first then shock the world with your outcome.
I remembered when I bought a new Samsung device then. My friends would always laugh at the phone I was using before I bought the Samsung device. But deep within me, I wish I am going to shut their mouth up someday. I saved up my money for months without telling any of them apart from my elder brother who knew about it all from the beginning. I did this for months till the amount needed to get my mobile was completed. So I went to buy it and the next day I brought it out and inserted my SIM card in it. My friends were like ***“ who owns the phone?” “This kind of expensive phone?” “They would love to have one”***. I felt the amazement and shock in them. It was just so unexpected. I took back my glory as they never could make a joke of me about my mobile device anymore but rather respect my actions.
One of them told me ***“what I like about you is that you always keep your next move to yourself and not blabber all around”*** he added ***(“I have learnt this from you”)*** in some months after he shocked us all with an iPhone and an HP laptop. 😝 😂
**Conclusion**
It is not that we should keep things too private because there are still some people you can trust and even seek advice from. They are the people you should trust and assured they trust you too. Leak it out to them and seek their experience and advice about your next move. But still, make sure you hold about 50% privacy to yourself.

Why do ladies commit suicide over a man?
I was on my WhatsApp status today as usual. Most times I go there to check some WhatsApp status and few messages and also make sure I respond to most. Then I find my way back to readcash and noisecash.
Yeah while viewing some status I encountered with someone’s status who uploaded a lady I think is dead already. But from the caption, I realized it was a dead body then the comment from the video said: ***“see what this girl just did to herself last night. Because of man. What she had done to herself? she didn’t even consider what her mum would pass through. She didn’t even think of her mum and she just went on to drink sniper (a harmful fumigant active insecticide).***
She was laid back dead. Then I started to think about what could have caused her to commit such suicidal behavior. *Before she drank the potion what could have gotten into her? What had the man done for her?*
I thought depression was the major cause of suicide, *but could her case be because of depression? Depression over what? Over a man? Is the man even worth her life?*
Many things came to my mind while I kept on thinking about it.
I am sure there are many cases like this that happen day after day but the case might not just go viral across social media. I wonder why ladies would feel that the next and lasting solution for them is to sacrifice their life for a man who they already know won’t marry them. I hardly get the news that a man committed suicide for a woman.
While writing this I am trying not to be biased. But frankly speaking, the error comes from both gender but falls more to the ladies' side than the men. Yeah, relationships are necessary, not compulsory. I would like to highlight a few points I found could be the case for both genders.
**The mode of dressing:** The way we dress is surely the way we are addressed. One thing most ladies nowadays don’t know is the fact that no man would leave a well-dressed, decent, and properly trained lady for a lady who already exposed herself to the world. They count such a lady as street material. And not worth having by their side because they see no future in them. So most of these men would have these ladies by their side. Treat them good with the impression of marrying them thereby the lady would have believed she got someone to stay with for her lifetime, she might have sacrificed everything for him then at the end of the day she realized he had no intention of marrying her but just to take advantage of her. Such a scenario might have placed the woman in a state of no choice and without the right person to advise her at that moment, she might have thought everything had ended with the man.
**First impressions:** Many ladies would love to say they won't have a man who is financially comfortable and also responsible. Yeah, such men exist for real but ask yourself a question first. Do I want to be dependent or independent? Your answer might determine your fate. We see ladies nowadays who are into petty jobs, some are company owners, even ladies are into cryptocurrency. What a man can do, a woman can do better. But it still amazes me that there are ladies out there that would love to follow the aroma of money into their relationship then when the money is no more or the man feel like she is just like a parasite 🦠 then he dumps her.
There are many other reasons I see could be the cause of all these but most are from the ladies themselves. They caused it upon themselves.
But to the men out there who decide to take someone for granted and play with their hearts then toy with their lives. There is something they aren’t remembering no matter how decent their wives are or how beautiful she is, they would also have to give birth someday. Then they should be expecting what they had done to other people’s daughters to be done to theirs. Just a few men can stand boldly and say it or take an oath that whatever they had done to the women out there should happen to their daughters. Just a few.
So it falls on both sides. Even some of these ladies might be suffering from the consequences of their fathers and how he never prepared a better future for them. Imagine before the lady could commit suicide I am sure she would have thought about it to the extreme and probably have made some curses upon the man who did that to her.
But one thing she failed to think about is the fact that her parents, especially her mother, are there for her. She never thought about the sacrifices her parents had done for her before she could attain such an age in life. If she had thought about her parents who are worth dying for compared to the man who is rather useless and never values her she won’t have thought about committing suicide.
The reverse might also be the case whereby the lady would be the one to kill the guy. I don’t know how they could have a strong heart to do so. But we have heard of many cases of such where the lady would have to kill the guy and even prefer to die after she sees him dead.
**Conclusion**
No matter what in life, suicide is never an option. Our lives are worth a reason to keep living and keep going because when there is life there is always hope. And to the ladies and parents, especially mothers, it is always better to be open to their female children so they can feel free to say their feelings to us as a mother and also guide them through. And to friends, it’s better to be a good friend and try checking up on others every day no one knows what they might be passing through at the moment.

How I prepared my Moi Moi (Beans Pudding)
**Good day everyone**
`Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. We should always remember to wake up and give thanks to the source that created life.`
Life is cool by the way as we are entitled to different basics of life. We have to sleep, wake, eat, drink and get involved in other aspects of life. So these are some of our basic needs a man would have to do in his life.
I don’t think I ever made an article about food before but I decided to break the record today. So ***I am sharing with you guys how I prepared my Moi Moi (bean pudding)***
I got my ingredients ready after washing the dishes and all necessary cooking materials.
**INGREDIENTS**
*Beans*
*Salt*
*Maggi*
*Pepper*
*Egg*
*Groundnut oil*
*Fish*
**PREPARATION**
I got the desired amount of beans to be used for preparation, the amount enough to serve three people for breakfast. After that, I added some amount of water into the pot with the beans in it. Then I left it for a few minutes to soak so that it would peel well.
After soaking for a few minutes, I scrubbed it together with my hand so that the seed coat would separate from the bean.
After scrubbing and I felt there were little or no seed coats on the beans then I added water and began to sieve it while pouring it in a different bowl. This is because the water would make the beans peel float above and the beans would settle down. It’s like a form of decantation to separate the beans from the peeled seed coat.
After those steps are completely done properly then I have my pure beans without peel ready for grinding
But before grinding I added some amount of pepper 🌶 into it. This is to give it some pepperish taste.
After that, I boiled the eggs till they got hard-boiled
I already got the beans ground and it looks so soft. So it’s time to add the seasoning to it
I added a cube of Maggi and salt to taste. (I should have added some crayfish too but I was unable to get it and fish in my surrounding areas). So after adding the salt I stirred it together.
I got my groundnut oil and added it to the mixture. The ground oil would serve the purpose of making it look more palatable and edible.
Stir up well and make sure the ingredients and spices are well mixed with the bean pudding.
The best thing is to package them well and get them steamed. Most people make use of leaves. I don’t know how to use leaves so I got perfect nylon that is okay to hold together for steaming. Then I included some slices of the hard-boiled egg while packaging them together to steam.
After this, I added a little water to the pot and added the (Moi Moi) bean pudding to it
I covered it for about 30 minutes to see if it’s getting done.
`I think we should take a commercial break here before our Moi Moi is done.`
`Thanks so much for the encouragement ❤️`
Today was more boring than yesterday. I have been sleeping for a very long time. I had almost slept till midday. So I felt so much pain in my body. I took my bath and felt like going to see the doctor or a pharmacist nearby.
Then my friend asked where I am off to?
I was told I am off to get some medication. He laughed out loud and suggested we have some fun playing virtual reality games. I felt my body needs more rest and Funtime. Then I thought to myself ***“All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”***
We got there and it was indeed a fun time all through. One funny thing was that we got to the entrance of our home before I could remember I wanted to visit the doctor. We got home safely.
**WELCOME BACK TO THE KITCHEN 😆**
Our Moi Moi is already done and well prepared. It’s time to serve and can the taken while hot( preferably with some people) and then some would prefer to talk it cold
It was to serve yourself, as everyone smiled at the delicious taste from the sumptuous meal.

If I were to be bla. bla.. bla…
**Good day everyone**
`Today is surely another beautiful day on the earth's surface. Another day to wake up and give thanks to the Almighty God that created life. We appreciate our existence. Thank you, God, for the mercy and blessings upon us.`
Yeah, today is another Monday again. Hahaha. Mondays are always busy and tiresome. After the great weekends of relaxation, it runs to resume duty again. Hahaha.
We are left with no option as we continue to count our days and keep living the best out of them. Just in the blink of an eye, the weekend would approach us again. So we just have to make sure we are happy always and love what we do.
I have been reading articles on the word prompt ***“If I were”*** by @JonicaBradley and I have seen people turn into many things 😂. But I haven’t seen someone turn into slippers or shoes. Some wish to turn into sun, stars, rain, and all sorts. Good, so here I come with my imaginations.
**If I were to be a woman**
Hmm. I am a man with due respect and I am proud to be one. But if I were to be a woman. 😂
Most times I do imagine why women always play hard on men to get, actually not their fault because they found themselves a woman. If I were a woman I would have a dairy book where I would keep a record of men I broke their hearts because men are wicked. Most of them are playboys taking women for granted 😂
If I were a woman too, I would make sure to remain beautiful without makeup. I think my natural beauty is okay for me because I don’t know why women nowadays would always have to stick paints on their faces so they can look beautiful which they aren’t.
Lastly, if I were a married woman and pregnant. I would take that pregnancy period and make sure my husband and I are into the pregnancy stuff together. I would crave for him to cook burnt Rice and drink hot water every day. He must eat it with me and nothing else. He would always carry me to bed at night and wake me up in the morning before he went and cooked. At least for that 9 months, I should enjoy myself.
**If I were to be a mosquito**
If I were to be a mosquito. I don’t know why mosquitoes are so daft and dumpy. I would go to the market and buy some armor and also build an insecticide-proof castle inside the house. So when others are invading during the night and get killed I would invade during the day. I would not bite women but rather feed on men because when they sleep they barely kill mosquitoes compared to women who would kill the hell out of them. Then I would create a tutorial on how other mosquitoes can survive humanity's attack and gradually we become the mosquitoes empire.
**If I were to be a doctor**
A doctor? If I were to be one, I would specialize in injections. Injecting people would be my specialization. I remember when I visited a hospital and I was asked to be tested. The nurse injected the hell out of my arms, everything became red and swollen. My friend started calling me basket body.
I won’t inject men. Why should I inject men? When I know their buttocks are as strong as a rock and could break a needle. I would specialize in injecting women 😂 😂.
**If I were to be a chicken**
I would make sure I am a cock. Haha. Imagine how those cock do enjoy their lives. They won’t have to lay eggs or brood on eggs inside the sun and rain. They won’t have to suffer from an eagle's attack while watching over the chicks and they are at advantage to pick any hen whenever they want.
I would run far away to where there are hens alone and no cocks around. I would take dominance and become the cock of the street
But if I discovered I am getting older and might get killed. I would reduce my comb and wattle and start to move around like a hen. But still, act like a cock.

Hahahaha. What a blessed morning again!
I am so much happy to see one of the great icon on the platform @King_Gozie sponsorship. I am so much blessed to be among the lucky ones.
Thanks so much for the encouragement.
God bless you sir.
And to all my sponsors, I appreciate you so much God bless you all.
What are the three questions you can’t find an answer to on the search engine??
**Good day, Read Stars (In** @FarmGirl **signature).**
`Today is another beautiful day on the earth's surface. We should always wake to appreciate our existence. Waking up today is never by our power or by our might but by the grace of the lord. Many wish to wake just like we did but they were not at an advantage. Think about it.`
Yeah, yesterday was fun. I promised to cook myself some meals but eventually, I fell asleep and couldn’t even cook anything. I woke up around noon and was hungry, but my friends already prepared something delicious. I was so happy to satisfy the hunger in me. It is always cool to have amazing people around you.
`Thanks so much for the encouragement ❤️`
There was also an airdrop I decided to opt-in just for 10,000 people of the whole people using a safepal wallet. It was a great competition to get to the whitelisted member and get all tasks done
I was about to source for my SFP so I can be eligible for the airdrop. But before every conversation, the airdrop has ended. A maximum of 10,000 users had been reached in less than 2hours. What a massive turnout
I was so dejected and felt so depressed. I went to sleep and took some time to relax my brain. After I woke I went to have something to eat and continued with my activities on readcash and noisecash.
This morning I was out of a topic to write, then I happened to check my mail again and see if I got another prompt from Shadows as usual. I found myself engrossed in a topic so I decided to have a write-up on that.
**What are the three questions you would like an answer to and can’t find on the search engine?**
**When would I die?**
How I wish Google could find me an answer to this. But nay! Google itself never knew the answer for itself. Because everything that has a beginning would surely have an end. Google search engine doesn't know when its existence would come to an end so how come it would give me an answer to mine. The search engine only know the death of the people that are already gone
It can never tell when one would die.
I knew I couldn't find an answer to this not only from the search engine but even the best of doctors, my parents, my partner, sisters, brothers, clerks, couldn’t find an answer to this question because they never even know theirs.
At times I feel like my life would end soon and at times I would always pray to live long. The answer to this question remains a mystery to the world and the existence of humanity at large.
At times we give answers to these questions but most of the time it’s already written in our destiny. Taking the example of someone who committed a crime and was sentenced to death, such a person already got an answer but before sentencing, no one could give an exact date. Even the date might not be the real answer.
It also happens among us and our animals, for example, we reared a chicken 🐔 and already gave it a death date. This chicken would be killed on Christmas Day. Hahaha. Only if it would die on that day would it die on that very day. If not it might die before then or still live longer than that date.
**Would I become rich or poor in life?**
*Who knows?* We all determine and have the mindset of becoming rich in life, we are always optimistic about our future. And that’s surely the right way to go about it, which is one reason why we continue to struggle and hustle day in and day out. We try our best to walk the path towards a wealthy life and we pray towards it. This is another question a search engine couldn’t give me an answer to.
**What would people say after my death? Would they pray for me?**
This question bothers me so much and I'm sure that the search engine couldn’t find me an answer. We see many people nowadays speak good to your presence and be the ones backbiting your absence. Such is life. They never want to know if you are alive or not. They are always ready to speak badly about you. What about when you leave the world that you see them no more?
The fear most people have after backbiting is that it might link out to the person in concern and that can lead to a lot of consequences. So they might hold on. But when we die we cannot show up so they would feel free to say whatever they want.
***What would people say about us?***
***Good or bad?***
***Let’s reflect on that and make amendments/improvements to our way of life.***

Good morning 🌞☀️😃
Thanks you so much @BreadChamp for the amazing and unexpected sponsorship
It is indeed a reason to keep it going and also a form of encouragement to do more. I really appreciate your love ❤️
Thanks so much. And God bless you abundantly.
If you were to be someone else for one day, who would you be?
**Good day to everyone**
`Every day is another beautiful day to wake up and appreciate our existence on the earth's surface. Waking up today is not by our power but by the grace of the Lord. Be grateful for everything that has happened in your life.`
Yesterday was Friday! Hahaha, another weekend is upon us already. Just like yesterday when we were preparing for another Monday to experience. The way days fly so fast we won't know when we continue to count our ages as we get older. But that's one thing that makes life an interesting place to live.
Today is another weekend. Don't forget to have nice times with families and friends, create great memories together and make sure to have fun.
For me, I would try cooking a delicious meal and invite friends to join me. Then afterward I would watch some movies and play games till I fall asleep. That should be a great weekend on my own.
It's been a little while since I checked my mail. I just get notifications of those I need and then check them out. But the rest would just remain there unchecked. This morning I decided to check them and mark them as read.
While going through them I saw a message from ****Shadows pub 😃.**** Hahaha, it's the daily prompt word she did send to our mail every day back in the days at uptrennd. I opened it up and found out she is still sending those prompts.
I already felt blank on what to write for this morning but getting to read from her daily prompt. I got inspired by her nonfictional prompt.
**If I had to be someone else for one day who would I be and why??.**
This looks so hilarious 🤣 but not really. There is not much fun there. I remember a TV show I watched back in the days, I could remember vividly that it was about a mathematics competition in Lagos state. Students from all parts of the state were eligible to attend.
There were cash prizes for the winners as usual but first place was given an additional advantage. The first place was given the honor to sit in place of the governor for a day. Hahaha. Who would not want to be a 1-day governor and make historical records for their school? Everyone tried their best but actually, we are not equal. It was a girl that emerged as the winner of the competition, she was honored to sit in place of the governor for 1 day. She was paid every allowance the governor would take for that day. And she attended meetings and programs with the state governor. What an honor she brought upon her school, teachers, and parents.
***Back to the discussion of the day.***
`If I had to be someone else, I would love to be` The richest man in the world.
https://www.forbes.com/real-time-billionaires/
`Why the richest man in the world?.`
I would make sure to accomplish three agender
**Operation feed the poor**
`Why does the operation feed the poor?.`
About **9.2%** of the world still lives in poverty. **Less than $1.9** a day according to the World Bank.
Equity might not be something obtainable because that's nature, all fingers can never be equal. We would surely have some with upper hands than the other, some would have to work for others to make a living. But there are still some people out there who can't work for others and are hardly making ends meet. They would have to beg on the street before they could have something to eat. The orphanage homes, the disabled, they are all humans and are also entitled to a good life. Though it might not be a luxurious life, they shouldn't suffer much. I would use my position as the richest man to give opinions that would favor them all.
**Free education**
If I could become the richest man. I would make sure everyone gets a stress-free educational system. Awarding scholarships to encourage those who are yet to do better. But there would be restrictions and rules guiding free education. There are many people out there who are finding it difficult to attend schools maybe for some reason, majorly financially.
**Explore your talent**
Especially in this part of the world where I come from, there are many talented people but their talents are of no use because they lack sponsorship and empowerment from the government. Most times when I watch some Facebook videos on how young children build amazing stuff and seek sponsorship I would always feel like these are the people we want for the future. Music, Artifacts, sports, sculptures, architecture, engineers, ICT, agriculture, and every other aspect would be given full-time sponsorship. And I would make sure to build companies that these people can work and explore their talents to the fullest.
**I think my day as the richest man in the world should be a fruitful one if all these could be accomplished.**

Random questions on relationship
**Good day everyone**
`Today is another great day to appreciate our existence. We live to see another beautiful day on the earth's surface. It's not by our power but by the grace of God.`
Yesterday was a bit stressful, I had to do a lot of up and down. Trying to get my NYSC registration done ASAP. I have been finding it hard to engage with posts and also in the comments section because whenever I get back home I am always tired, so most of the time I just go to bed and sleep.
But I would sure try all my possible best to engage. Because engagement is surely the soul of any blogging platform. I am using this medium to appreciate everyone who in one way or the other has been engaging in my articles. Thank you so much.
I have made a promise and a target to be accomplished from the beginning of the month. Today is the 8th of October and this would be my seventh article for the month. I already missed a day and that's yesterday 😭. I just hope I can accomplish the rest by the end of the month. I would always try my best. I pray God helps me.
While reading through some random post on noise cash. I came across a post on the read cash community by @Micontingsabit she said she loves to take random questions. Hahaha. And she made her post on it which you can surely find here. https://read.cash/@Micontingsabit/random-questions-parent-edition-514e0602
https://noise.cash/post/16p7g638
So I got interested in it and decided to make an entry on it. I checked her article and saw she already answered some random questions about parents but since I am not a parent yet I decided to opt for random questions on a relationship by @buraryang1892 Is it worth fighting for? Random questions on a relationship https://read.cash/@buraryang1892/is-it-worth-fighting-for-random-questions-on-a-relationship-254ef6e1
**Your partner hides your photo on social media, is it okay for you?.**
Things can happen that way if she wishes to hide my photos on social media. She could just have them saved and not for public purposes. So I see nothing bad in this.
**Is it considered one-sided if your partner is not 100%open to you?.**
Hmmm. This is getting serious. If my partner could not pay 100% to me then who would she pay it to?. It might not have to be a 100% because everyone surely has some other things to do with their lives. But to me in a relationship, there should be at least more than 70% attention in worst situations.
**Just because it's your partner's social media account, you don't have any rights on it?**
Haha. I have seen a lot of family relationships break because of these and even some go to the point of collapsing just because of these social media issues. I would say it is right to check on one's partner's social media but it's better off to avoid it.
There is a case whereby a wife checked on her husband's social media and saw his chat with another lady who seem to be his new boss at work but she was trying to seduce him but he wasn't paying any attention. So his wife saw this on his account and called the woman to blast her to leave her husband alone. After doing this her husband realized that she almost sacked him the following day. She told him what his wife did. Then he went home to ask his wife about it. She admitted and it almost led to a divorce but was later settled by the family members. She learned her lesson.
**How can you explain privacy in a relationship?**
In as much as one gets into a relationship, there is no such thing as privacy anymore, besides you both are already together as one. There is no privacy between you both but there should be privacy to anything that happens in both of their lives to the outside world.
**You opened your partner's social media once, is it okay that your partner changed her/his login right ahead**
It's okay for her if she wishes to. But for me, I can't. I see such a relationship lacking love and trust. If there is trust in a relationship nothing should be hidden among both partners.
**Is this type of relationship already a toxic one?**
It's already getting toxic because they are already lacking some virtues that should be present in their relationship.
**Is it still worth fighting for if you already tried your best in your relationship**
Hmmm. I would say it's worth fighting for. If it's still a one-sided love relationship. But if there is no love from both ends then there is nothing worth fighting for.
**When can you say that it is over?? Does this type of relationship need to end now?.**
Like I said above, if there is no love from both ends then it's not worth it. It should probably come to an end.

Bitcoin Cash in Nigeria
**The crypto space**
Cryptocurrency is taking over! and this is indeed a need for the government to worry about the centralized banking system and how to find their way about it. We all know the fact that the world is going DeFi. This means the decentralized financial system would be popularly known and accepted by the people. I would call it "Financial Freedom'' a point where the people have power over their own money. Compared to the centralized system which is controlled all by the government.
Decentralized finance (DeFi) never stopped with the innovation of bitcoin as its first launch but several more financial applications had taken a good step forward which one of them is the BCH network. It has saved humanity from the betrayal caused by the central authorities since we trusted them with all our financial assets. They broke our trust from time to time. There I see the DeFi as a great innovation and savior in our time.
**Bitcoin Cash (BCH)**
Bitcoin cash is a cryptocurrency. It is built on the blockchain to function as an electronic cash payment system. It is also said to be a fork of the great bitcoin. But the difference between bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash is the fact that Bitcoin Cash made its transaction more efficient and effective because of the lower transaction cost and also transfers data with ease compared to bitcoin which had a huge cost of transfer and could only benefit the while whose transactions are bulky.
Bitcoin cash at present falls at $619 on the coin market cap which could be approximately N285,590. So anyone who holds 1 BCH holds a financial asset of $613 without the aid of the centralized banking system would have to take charges for almost every transaction done.
https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/bitcoin-cash/
**Cryptocurrency and Nigeria government**
There is no specific regulation in Nigeria that declared cryptocurrency as illegal. It's the central bank of Nigeria that doesn't recognize the use of cryptocurrency as a means of transaction thereby imposing a ban on it and the operation in conjunction with the financial sectors was put to restrictions. But does this stop the Nigerians?.
That was a capital **NO!.** Because the invention of cryptocurrency is indeed unstoppable. There surely has to be a way out. Nigerians resulted in the P2P(pair-to-pair) trading systems which made them still have access to their crypto assets and also avoid the restrictions placed by the central financial sectors and their services. The thing people love about cryptocurrency which is surely having a great effect on the government is the fact that it cuts the use of middlemen, reduces cost, saves time, and also provides financial privacy to assert owners.
I**f bitcoin could be used as a legal tender why can't BCH?.**
Bitcoin as we all know to be the foundation of all cryptocurrency has not stopped taking it to step forward to bring forth good times and innovations to the crypto-verse in general. Bitcoin has found its way out in some countries as their legal tender thereby paving the way for all transactions to be done in cryptocurrency and also creating a chain around the DeFi ecosystem. If Bitcoin could pave the way wouldn't BCH?.
BCH has also been improving day by day. And there is no stop to that. BCH as we all know could also be a legal tender in countries around the world. It is actually on its way to achieving that but not yet fully accomplished.
**Holders of BCH**
In cryptocurrency, Hocking is still one of the best options for crypto traders because this would bring value to their assets over time and all create a form of scarcity thereby adding more value to the amount at hand. Holders of BTC back then in the year 2012 right now would be in millions of dollars only if they could hold. So BCH as a start in the year 2017 still has the great opportunity to bring forth more profits to holders. There is a price prediction of BCH to fall above $10000 before the end of the year 2021. Then come to think of two years to come.
**BCH in conjunction with readcash and noisecash**
Read.cash and noise.cash, there has been a great improvement in the use of BCH across the country. Like bitcoin was mined at first before it was opened into the blockchain technology. BCH wasn't mined but how do we get a hold of BCH?.
These two platforms made it possible for us to access the great currency with a brighter future. Most users on the platform are from the Philippines and Nigeria. This platform also serves as a means of regulating the total amount of BCH in circulation through the means of tipping users and also creating a chain of transactions. Members of the platforms earn BCH and also hold them for the future.
**The smartBCH network**
The Smart Bitcoin Cash (smartBCH) is a sidechain for Bitcoin Cash that is compatible with Ethereum's EVM and Web3 API [source]smartbch.org
**BCH as a legal tender in Nigeria**
BCH smart card
Just like the centralized banking system gives out a card to operate their transaction. It might be in the form of paying bills, making transfers, and also access to other things in the country. BCH smart cards could also be of great advantage. When we have to pay our school fees using the BCH smart card and also making online shopping using the BCH smart card. This would also be linked to the blockchain where it saves every detail of the transaction made.
BCH machines and hardware wallet
We are currently operating all our transaction logs on a software wallet which are easily attacked by hackers who request private keys or passwords to accounts. Yeah, it's so much safer to use but in connection to a hardware wallet where users would connect their wallet address to the hard wallet and also make transactions and verification codes on their hard wallet. There is still some hope left to those who had lost their software wallet keys because they would be able to access it via their hard wallet. I am sure the future of BCH would also give rise to the use of BCH smart machines where deposits and transfers and withdrawal of BCH using the local fiat currencies could be made possible.
BCH NFT marketplace
NFT which means a Non-fungible token is a unique unit of data stored on a digital ledger. It can be used to represent easily reproducible items like photos, videos, audio, and other types of digital files. Wikipedia.
It also uses the same Blockchain technology that powers cryptocurrency which means there is not much difference between the transaction and how they operate. The difference between them is that NFTs are not currencies.
BCH with its potential in the crypto-verse could also come out with its own NFTs and marketplace giving opportunities to holders of BCH to buy their items and give value over time.
**Conclusion**
How would BCH change the world?.
I am sure in a few years to come with the world going digital the world would surely embrace digital currency as their medium of exchange. It would surely reduce transaction complexity on blockchain technology and make global transactions faster and easier. The lack of manipulation in the control system would give more room to trust and financial freedom to individuals. BCH could also serve as a ledger of contracts and physical assets.
BCH surely has the potential to help people escape poverty, if unbanked people are paid in BCH and could also pay bills with BCH the cost of their financial transactions would be minuscule. And they can easily change some of their BCH to fiat currency if they wish and whenever they wish.

Frailty; A test of time
**What if our days are numbered?.**
Many times I take a look at life itself and see that there is a lot to know about life alone. It's a mystery and also an adventure. We learn from people's experiences and also their way of life.
Some get inspired through the lives of animals, how they live, and prey on each other to survive.
**Frailty**!
**What does frailty mean?**
*Frailty as defined by the Oxford dictionary is the condition of being weak and delicate.*
Frailty is bound to happen to anyone at any point in our lives.
**Frailty in animals**
Watching wildlife shows, I got to realize the frailty that comes with animals when they get an encounter a predator. They would have to run so fast for survival. Some would make it while some would surely fall prey and be devoured by their predators. There is so much fun to the predators because they just captured something to rejoice over and if it was captured by the younger one then they count themselves to be stronger and braver.
Thereby to the prey who would have to live their everyday life in fear and agony. They would have to be suspicious with their everyday activities and always be alert. It isn't an easy decision for them to make but they were to live their lives out of fear of their predators.
How about the relationship between the eagle and the mother hen. The mother hen would have to rear their chick knowing there is surely one sworn enemy that would attack their chicks and devour them. They would have to live their lives out of fear counting down to the attack anytime in their life till they get matured and free from the eagle's attack.
**Frailty at old age**
Walking down the street I saw a man who was finding it hard to get down the staircase of his home. He had to call on someone to assist him down the stairs. I looked at him and remembered how agile and strong he was when they were constructing the staircase, he would be so fast climbing up the stairs back then without support from anyone. But today the staircase he climbed almost every day back then became something he would always bother himself about whenever he wanted to climb them.
Frailty came into his life and weakened his abilities and capacity. It made him so fragile, turned his strength to fear, and made his count closer to his demise.
I remembered when my grandmother told me to make use of my black hairs before they turn white, to make use of my legs while they can run before the time I would always have to add a third leg to move.
**Frailty at a tender age**
We all have our weaknesses. Come to think of a life whereby we have to live to a count down. A life where we would have to count every minute and second of our lives and live by it knowing the day we would have to stop our breath.
I watched a movie titled **CLOUDS**. It was based on a true-life story of a boy called Zach Sobiech. Zach was living a happy life with his family and friends not until he was diagnosed with cancer which had no cure. He had to live his life knowing his death day and counting down to every breath, every minute, and every second he took.
He would have to leave the world in a few days. He forgot about his dreams and talents since he was dying already. But he was inspired to live the little life he had left creating great memories of himself to the world. He sang the song clouds at the brink of death and it became a success as the song hit number one on Apple music that very year. He was remembered for his great talent and courage. Zac fought through the frailty of time and brought out the best in him.
https://youtu.be/sDC97j6lfyc
I would always ask myself what if I got my days numbered?. How would I feel?. What do I have to give the world?. Can I fight through the frailty that it would bring?. Or would I just live the rest of my life trembling in fear?
**Frailty towards success**
There is indeed no shortcut to success. We have to live to become someone successful in life. Most time frailty sets in our lives trying to keep us back towards success in life. Times we feel like giving up on our hopes and dreams.
Just like Zach, despite his countdown, he was still able to fight through his weakness and made sure he achieved success.
Success might not come so easy but what if?. What if we are to live our day numbered?.

How do you cope with writer’s block??
**Good day everyone**
`Today is another Monday again ☺️ hahaha. Want a day to be so busy with our jobs and many other things. Yeah, we all want to start the new week with something great.`
Kamusta ang iyong katapusan ng linggo???
How was your weekend?. 😍😎
***Hehehe. We are just trying to practice the Filipino language today. My tongue 👅 almost rolled out trying to say it 😃***
I hope we had a nice weekend?. I was the one saying we should have nice times with family and friends. Yeah, it is indeed worthwhile. And if you tried that I am sure you would never regret doing so.
My weekend was just so useless, lol I got three things to accomplish. First I was able to complete my laundry work and also I was able to make an article on the platform which was one of my goals for each today of October and lastly, I was able to sleep for almost 8hrs. 🤣 maybe sleeping I am gradually getting addicted to sleeping.
Some said it is good for your health. But I remember when my dad told me ***"A man don't sleep too much"***. I never realized the meaning of that then because I would always think he just wants me to suffering 🤣 from sleep. At times I would pretend to be sick so thAt I can have a perfect sleep. Lol 😆. But that was back then.
**Now I realize that the fact that a man does sleep much has a different meaning.**
First is the fact that a man mustn't sleep much in the aspects that he would have to wake and keep to his hustle. And the second is the fact that if a man wants to keep his hands to his mouth then he never has to sleep when others are busy working their way out. In summary, I realized that only a lazy man sleeps too much 🤣🤣🤣 and has no food for a lazy man. Even women nowadays don't sleep. Then what excuse does a man have?.
**Hehehe. What happened to rusty? Lol 😂😆🤣.**
https://read.cash/@tired_momma/post-d9279c1f#comment-551d364f
I was scared thinking I already committed an offense. But later on, I realized it was kinda something general. I am taking this medium to appreciate Rusty for the great job done. Hahaha, it ain't easy! To read those articles and keep tipping them. Hahaha. A good job is done.
We miss you 😘🤗 so much hahaha. Take good care of yourself where you are. Lol 😆😆🤣.
I think I experienced another writer's block today. But I just have to write something to fulfill my promise for an everyday article for October. Kudos to all writers out there. It ain't easy, thinking of a topic and composing some words around it. It isn't an easy task.
**Just a little bit about my today.**
Yeah, I woke up in the morning as usual and made my prayers to the almighty God 🙏. I had to check on the platform for any new notifications and most importantly rusty. Lol 🤣. I don't know why my noisecash account is just acting so weird. I have been trying to interact and stay active but instead, it just keeps doing things it's way. At times no heart tips and most times low tips value but notwithstanding I would still keep track and continue working hard.
After that, I got a call from a friend who I already promised to follow into the school campus for his clearance and give him some guidance on his project work and submission also. I immediately took my bath and got dressed.
We got to the school premises and he got his clearance signed. So he headed over to his supervisor's office.
Our institution provided us with some bandwidth usage, so I went there to surf the net and download some movies. I already watched the squid game which was an interesting movie and indeed worth the hype. I promised @Jane that I would download and watch it immediately after reading her article. Hahaha. What a gravely game all because of money.
Death was stirring at the face to face, but they still had to take a look at the money 💰 awarded. Is the money worth their life??. Hahaha. What a horrible movie! 😆😆😆
I have no movies to watch so I decided to start watching the k-drama series ***"Lovers of the red sky".*** After downloading, I would watch them at leisure.
I wanted to make an article on the prompt word "Trust" for the week on Naija wazobia but nothing is coming to my mind. Hahaha 😀😁😂.
Maybe I should ask you!.
How do you cope with writer's block??.

My interview with @princessbusayo
**Good day everyone.**
`I hope we are having a nice day today. Maybe I should take it as a sublime Sunday. It's not cool over here because I should have made this post earlier before now but right now I am just waking from my sleep and trying to compose something.`
Just rounded up the laundry work which I have been doing since yesterday so it was cool to have succeeded on that. But after washing I had to take a quick nap to give myself some rest and think over.
Like I do say in my content actually in my previous ones I do say that we should always try to appreciate our existence no matter what. This life is too short. Every day we wake, we have to give thanks to the almighty God that created life and all in it.
**Death is indeed inevitable and no one knows when it would actually come to visit him so we should try to prepare ourselves ahead, and always remember that we always live once.**
Waking up this morning to the sad news of the demise of my maternal uncle. He had been sick for some time now. And he was carried for treatment before he could make it no more. Such is life, who knows what tomorrow has in place for us we have to just keep living like we won’t see the next second ahead of us.
**Back to the discussion of the day.**
Reading through articles yesterday I came across a tag from @Princessbusayo and she challenged me to go ahead and answer some questions from an interview post. I took the challenge and promised to make an entry on that.
The article proclaimed that some Nigerians were called upon to a show to answer a few questions about their country so she decided to answer hers. You can check out her article here https://read.cash/@Princessbusayo/questions-from-an-interview-8b25a492
***Her first question goes thus;***
**How was Nigeria back then versus now?**
If I'm to answer this I will say that the country has been in a state of sympathy and needs prayers. The Nigeria I knew back then isn't the Nigeria we are present. Things had been getting worse I would say. But we keep praying and have hope that it will get better someday.
Nigeria as a country is blessed with a lot of natural resources. We are blessed with fertile land and many more. We are known to be the pride of Africa. But all of a sudden the story changed.
Nigeria everyone was proud to be in became a country with no direction. Corruption, theft, robbery, kidnapping, insecurities, and many more bad vices became an order of the day. Each day every citizen trembled in fear and prayed for peace to reign.
The Nigeria I knew back then wasn't the Nigeria we are now. Maybe we got a swap. I can't say lol 😁
**What was your first money experience?.**
I think we all have a similar story when it comes to this aspect. Most of the time we get our money to school instead of taking a lunch box. But that's not general. Because some would always go with a lunch box and are not trained with taking money on them.
But when we get a visitor, we are sometimes given some token amount of money to buy biscuits and all sorts. I remembered when I kept mine 🤣 and said today I am not giving out this money to mum.
The next thing that happened after the visitors left was that I was the one giving out the money to her when she said she would buy a new pair of canvas for my brother and sisters 🤣🤣🤣.
**What was the first time you earned money?.**
I would say this was when I had finished with my secondary school education and I had to seek admission to the university. I knew there wasn't much money with my parents at that time because my elder brother was also in the university and the expenses of my younger ones too.
I had enrolled as a teacher in a primary school and taught them for a few years. That was when I earned my first amount as salary paid for the job done at the end of the month.
**How has the value of money changed over time?.**
I would say the Nigerian naira had lost its value. Yeah, I would love to ask a question, in a country with good economic growth how do we expect to have a currency with no value?.
The 5 naira currency right now has been of no value to the extent that it couldn't buy anything in the country again. It's just so useless. Thereby the inflation rate in the country keeps escalating.
I remember some days in the past when we bought a sachet of water with 5 naira when we bought gums, pencils, and sweets with this same 5 naira, even the matches we use at home were affordable for 5 naira. But now all of these things I mentioned can’t be bought with 5 naira anymore. The matches I just got this morning were at the rate of 20 naira.
There are loads of five naira I have at home and the only means of spending it is to join two of them together so it adds up to 10 naira before you can spend it on something.
What a pity. And to the 1000 naira notes. Once you buy anything out of it, then its value has been lost. You won't know when you finish spending it.
**What was the first thing you saved for?.**
That should be my first Nokia phone. I remembered that I bought the phone with the extra savings I got from tutorial classes I took the kids back then. I saved the amount till it got to a desirable amount to buy myself a phone. I was so happy to have bought something with my savings 😁. Maybe I became a man 👨.
Thanks so much for the interview. It was fun going back to the old days and remembering how things had changed so fast. It is my pleasure to be on your show today @Princessbusayo
You can also take up the challenge and let's know about your experience in your country.
Thanks so much for reading.
`My appreciation goes to my sponsors, readers, commenters, and those who give tips. I appreciate you all. Without you my account is nothing. Thanks so much once again.`
