Detriot: Become Human
It's been a really long while I had a chance to see any movies.
Often time I see my friends enjoying themselves with movies even in school but I am not always bothered to join them cause I am not really a fan of the genre of the movies they watch.
So to avoid upsetting myself or being bored with it, I don't watch it at all.
I love Korean movies and it is as if it's the only genre I like but that's not it, I watch American and Mexican movies too but Korean is my best.
Well, yesterday like I already mentioned in my last post seemed to be a little less stressful for me so I decided to check up on something on the Youtube channel only for me to bump into a movie that got my interest and I decided to give it a try.
The title of the movie is **"Detroit: Become Human"**
Being quite adventurous and a lover of such lines of stories, I immediately clicked to give it a try, I slept in between it since it was already late in the night and I was battling sleep.
I eventually completed the movie today in the evening and I couldn't help but just share a little bit of the storyline with you.
The movie begins with a female android (robot) who was modeled and set up to be used, but after finishing up with the setup, the robot felt she was alive and could feel like every other human out there, when that happened, she was asked to be detached, reset and remodeled because she wasn't supposed to feel that way as a robot, but the poor android begged for her life, she didn't wanna be disabled or reset so she pleaded to be left that way and that she would follow every instruction given to her.
She was left alone in that state though.
She was well modeled and a man picked her up at the store where the robots are being displaced for humans to purchase and make use of them at home.
Sadly, she fell into the wrong hands. The man that picked her up wasn't so nice or maybe not at all. But poor Kara had to follow the instructions and do as it pleases her master.
The master named her **KARA** saying it was the name his daughter gave her last robot caretaker, who according to the man had a dysfunction and passed away.
Kara couldn't stand the way, her master was treating his only daughter **Alice**. Her master was fond of beating up his child and making life unbearable for the poor child. Because of his, Kara the robot ran away with Alice her master's daughter one day when he became very aggressive and furious.
Kara thought Alice needed safety and it definitely was not going to be in her father's house, so both the robot and Alice the little girl, hid from house to house only to find a suitable and safe place to spend their night and not get caught.
Kara loved Alice and promised to protect her no what happens. The struggle was to get Alice to a safe place where they can start fresh and live a happy life together.
Do you wish to know how it ended? What happened in the long run? Was Kara's wish and desire granted? Were they able to find a safe dwelling place to start life afresh? What happened to Alice's father?
Well, if you so wish to get all this information then do well to check out the movie😉

Happiness Found In Things I Love
It is said that people eventually get used to things or love the things life presents to them.
I know a few things people just tend to like or later find happiness in after a while, but there are things we love and are happy doing even right from birth.
And these things cannot just be measured or quantified.
I find happiness and joy in so many things but these will always be irreplaceable;
DANCING
Dancing we know very well is accompanied by music and I wouldn't be wrong or far from the truth if I say I love music cause of its rhythms to order my steps and moves but other than the rhythms, its deep meanings from the song lyrics soothes my soul.
Speaking of music and dance, I love dancing right from when I was very small.
But being a shy girl, I don't dance everywhere or every time except in my closest.
I remember pleading once to join our dance group in school when I was just about 8years old.
The older ones assumed I wouldn't be able to dance and so didn't give me a chance.
I was only given a chance when I was in my penultimate year in nursery/primary.
Going to secondary school, I continued my passion by partaking in cultural and other dance displays. It went down to my church, we had people teaching and training us for different occasions and I was always very happy whenever they call us out for dancing or any form of dance training.
To me, it was a dream come true. I feel exceptionally happy whenever I dance or I am dancing.
DRAWING/PAINTING
You might ask, how do one find joy in working? Well, it's a pleasure I can't even explain. The amount of joy it gives me to paint or sketch something is second to none. Though it's quite stressful and tedious, but it's one thing I can never replace.
I love drawing and painting and I did this from when I was little and at some point, people used to ask if it's talent cause most of the things I drew or painted were things they couldn't believe a child my age could sketch, and it was worth the admiration.
They didn't call it a skill since I didn't learn to do those things but because I could do them freely without any formal training or teaching.
Drawing/painting is another thing I am happy about and find joy doing. I could spend about 5-6 hours on a particular sketch so far it will give the desired result.
And drawing or painting is not a day's joy. Little wonder artists spend days, weeks, and even months on a particular work. It's not easy.
Talking And Hanging Out With Loved Ones
Another thing I love is hanging out and talking with friends and loved ones.
I like spending time with people I cherish and if possible, creating memories that would last a lifetime.
I can't trade the memories of my loved ones, the time I spend communicating with them and having a good time in my life. Every moment is always worthwhile and cherishable.
I could go on listing things that make me happy and though it's just a few that I have mentioned, a lot of things make me happy and for some, just knowing that those things make me happy, makes me even happier and joyful.

The Remains Of My Birthday
I promised I was going to come back with this right?
Well, if you missed that part, here is the gist, yesterday was my birthday and due to the tiredness and stress of the day, I couldn't give full details of how my day went, that was why I promised I was going to come back hopefully today for it.
Now here we go, are you all ready?😂 don't roll up your sleeves just yet, it's not something big or serious, just me doing my thing lol.
**14 October**
At exactly **11:59 PM** when everyone thought I would be awake probably to wish myself **happy birthday** or attend and respond to people who would, this baby girl was already fast asleep. Yes to everyone's surprise I slept even before 10 PM, I mean you didn't expect me to waste the small hours I had to rest a bit after the day's stress waiting for what exactly? I could still wish myself when the sun is up and equally attend to my well-wishers as well.
So there! I slept, yes I needed it.
**15 October**
About 2 AM I was already up after having a few hours of sound sleep. And behold it was my day already, I thought of what to do at that time but nothing came to mind, I already missed a few phone calls from friends and I had text messages coming in for me. I thought of nothing else other than to first appreciate God for seeing me through another 365 days of my life. After that, I read a few messages I got and I made an update about my new birth of course, from that moment more messages came in for me. It was fun at first until it got way too much so I had to run back to bed which I did.
I slept again and woke up by 6 AM, said my prayers, and continued attending to calls and text messages until it was time to get out of bed and do my morning chores and routine (or was there really any routine for me yesterday?😂 I was fiddling with my phone the whole morning😂😂🤣 I am sure you know that feeling)
My immediate brother was the first person to wish me a **happy birthday** with prayers, followed by my mom with prayers too.
Then came my dad who asked if I was already celebrating my day with the whole house filled with the smell of fried meat and chicken lol.
Between 9-10 Am, I got phone calls from my friends telling me about the activities we were to carry out in school, we had no classes yesterday, what a blessing that was lol. Yes, our examination is coming up very soon, it's at the corner already so lectures aren't lined up as before so yesterday was really a blessing that we had no lectures.
But before I could reach the school for the said activities, the documents we needed for it was no more available so we were asked to come back on Monday. Using that opportunity, my school friends and I decided to sit out in one of the eateries and grab some edibles.
We reached the eatery and ordered shawarma, sausage roll, meat pie, and drinks which we consumed to our heart content.
After eating and cooling off, I placed my order for my birthday cake, I excused my friends in the eatery because I had to hurry back home and meet up with one of my friends who called and also asked to take me out too.
So off I took my cake home to meet my friend.
It took me about an hour to reach my house, when I got home, my friend was already in my room waiting for me. I rushed to the bathroom to freshen up and then changed into something else and went out with my girlfriend.
She wanted to sit out in another eatery as well and grab a plate of food for me but I told her I was already filled up from the first sit out with my school friends and besides I was already running late for another appointment with someone else, I told her she could just get me a plate of ice cream. So she went to a nearby supermarket to get me the ice cream, the biggest plate there was, I ran down the ice cream and I felt so refreshed lol.
I accompanied the ice cream with a plate of moi moi (beans pudding with egg)
After eating the ice cream and the pudding, I bid my friend goodbye while I went ahead with my last appointment for the day. I was going to meet a friend, who asked to take me out on my birthday as well. You know when someone is pleading to take you out? Then you should understand the person wants to spoil you real good😂 I mean spoil as in taking care of your wants for that day. So yeah, this friend is someone I met in the crypto space (how lovely is that?) One of the beauties of cryptocurrency, it unites and bonds people.
I met up with this friend who crowned my day with all the lovely things my eyes could behold.
I was taken to one of the most beautiful places in my town Tropicana. When I visit places like this, I imagine how heaven would be or look like 😂 don't blame me though, I envision heaven to be the most beautiful place any eyes has ever behold 😊
We took a little tour around the place. Though partly, the tour was also to find a suitable spot to sit. We took photos at intervals and trust me to take a few shots of the environment.
After which we found a perfect spot to stay and order food.
I was still filled trust me, so taking in more food at that time was like committing suicide, lol. All the same, I still got something to go home while the food went down to someone's stomach 😂
It's cool to watch someone eat, it's a good time to make fun of them lol, but believe me I didn't do that. I only remember to snap this after it was almost finishing, my bad! Lol.
Take a little photo tour with me, it was really such a lovely place to be.
While waiting, I got a phone call from a delivery guy telling me there was a package for me, at first I was worried cause I knew I didn't order for anything and I didn't know who could have ordered something for me. Could it be a mistaken number or address? All the same, it was really for me and not mistaken, so when the guy called again, I had to step out of the building and collect the package from him.
I only got to know who it came from when I got home and saw a little note attached to the package.
It was getting late and I was getting phone calls from home so I had to rush back since my family members were all waiting to celebrate me.
Dad was already outside when I got home, he asked about my plans for the night which I told him. My friend came to wish me for the last time during the celebration. The celebration started and my sister and friend joined us later.
Everything went on well and properly as it should be.
I was urged to cut the cake and the rest of the other stories that follows.
The celebration was a fun one and we had a really good time. I couldn't be less grateful for everything that happened yesterday and how lovely my day turn out to be.
My friends got me different kinds of gifts which I will cherish all.
I would have loved to give more details but I feel this is already detailed enough. And yes, I hope you didn't get tired of reading about my birthday celebration.
I still would love you to feed your eyes with a few of my birthday shoots.
In everything give thanks to God. I can speak and boast of the grace of God cause he made it sufficient unto me.
And don't forget to wish me a happy birthday if you didn't or haven't just yet.

Help With A Clear Conscience
Isn't it funny how people suddenly see the bad in you when you can't help them in times they are in need at a point in their life?
Isn't it funny how they judge you based on the little misunderstanding that only lasted for some second or minutes?
How funny is it that the same people praising you today will be the same people rubbing mud on your face and painting your name evil tomorrow?
What on earth is going on with the human race?
I am not sure if lower complexity animals behave the way most of these higher complexity animals behave at times.
It baffles me how humans can be so heartless and thoughtless.
Helping someone today doesn't guarantee you will be in their good book for eternity.
And to think that the exact person who goes about spoiling your good name is the same person you probably had good intentions about.
Actually, life should have taught you great lessons by now. Whether you are 15, 18, 20, 30, or even in your forties.
If you are rendering any kind of help to someone today, don't always expect to be on their good side and don't help simply because you want people to speak good of you or you want to be in their good book because as far as humanity is concerned, some will always place you in the evil side even if you meant them no harm, such is life.
If you help someone today, it doesn't mean that they will speak good of you all the days of their lives.
Simply help because you want to and because you see the need to.
Help because you are compassionate enough to help and have good reasons and intentions of doing that.
And with this, you can take whatever it is life throws at you in the process of lending a helping hand
But if you can't take it, be rest assured that you did your part and you did what you had to do with a clear conscience and leave the hypocrites to their ways.
**I wish you guys a very lovely and blessed day!**

Poor Data Connection
Trust me this is very annoying and frustrating.
I have been having this issue for about 6 hours now. I know it happens at times but not as today's own.
Yes, if you are in my country, you can tell how frustrating network connection can be at times especially depending on a particular network one uses.
I have been a fan of **Airtel line** for as long as I can remember. It's my major line and all my business and transactions are done using that network but most times, the network can be super frustrating, for days it will just suddenly seize and not connecting nor loading a single thing.
I came back home today around 3 PM with the mindset of drafting an article and then posting before taking my siesta but only for me to experience this network issue that I had to put it off and rest hoping that by the time I wake up, the issue would have been settled but sadly I woke up to the same issues.
I didn't know where to start or what to do. I couldn't tell where the issue was coming from since I could still access other things using the line like making and receiving calls.
So why was the issue just with the data connection? It wasn't loading any website nor any social media.
I tried everything but to no avail. I even tried checking my data balance and here is the message I got below.
I tried checking my normal account balance and it went through successfully, so why was data balance an issue? I concluded that maybe it's coming from my phone or settings since I could still perform other stuff using the same line, so in a quest to find out where the fault was coming from, I checked all my settings and did everything on my own strength and power. I even restarted my phone but I kept receiving the same problem, trust me at this point I was raged and frustrated at the same time. I had a lot of things to do on the net which I couldn't do because my data connection was misbehaving. I wasted so many hours waiting for the issue to be resolved.
This made me wish I had an alternative like maybe another line I could switch to for the meantime, Oh well, I had one line but I don't like subscribing to it, and because of this, I had to deal with my frustration and annoyance.
For those hours I kept myself busy with other things but it didn't change the fact that I was devastated and I couldn't help it.
I am fed up with this flawed line. And I can't believe that this line which happened to be one of the best lines then is now messing up. I have had enough of it and because of this, I might be getting a new one soon regardless if this one is my most used line. I can't continue putting up with this. I hate it when little things like this frustrate my life, it's pretty annoying, trust me.
All the same, I hope this wouldn't ruin my night because as it stands, the girl is still very upset for not being able to achieve everything she had planned to achieve since 6 hours ago. You know how annoying that can be, wasting one's time.
But all the same, I can only hope and pray it gets better. And while waiting for my annoying data network to be fixed, I opted in for another line to be able to make this rant of a post😒
By the way, welcome to a new week guys, I pray that you wouldn't be as frustrated as I am right now, this week and that everything will work out for your good.
Happy new week!

Strange
For as long as I can remember sitting next to a total stranger, I was struggling for proper breath as if I was being charged for every exhalation process that was being carried out.
I couldn't move an arm, let alone my entire body. I didn't wanna have my shoulder brush with his.
Maybe could he have worn a proper trouser, my senses would have still been intact, my bad!
Is this what people call lust? So I thought.
Oh well, maybe it was. I liked the way his hairs were neatly curled and sleeping on his laps.
And to the taste of it all, a skin glowing like that of a newly born baby. Light skin, not really my regular spec but a very clean one, I couldn't help but silently applaud him for his neatness.
For a second, he lifted one of his legs to comfortably rest it somewhere.
Accidently, our legs brushed each other, he noticed the uneasiness and stared out of curiosity I guess.
I looked away with an immediate effect, which made him look away as well.
He had his earpieces on, which made me wished more that I didn't lose mine the previous day. Perhaps if I had my earpieces with me, I would have been busy listening to my music and completely locked out of this world, or maybe I wouldn't have noticed the neat-looking guy, more less pay attention to him.
Sadly I had nothing on me and my bored and idle mind decided to play a funny trick on me.
I had weird and naughty thoughts running through my mind. Just like the scenes, I watch in my favorite Korean dramas.
Oops! I can't really say what they were, not sure I am up to the challenge lol.
I was left with two things in mind; one was a prayer to arrive at my destination sooner and alight and the other was to accomplish my silly thought-provoking mission😂😁 and what could have been the mission? It's but a mystery.
I know I wouldn't have had the guts, I may have lost my balance for some minutes but I still had my senses intact, that I know for sure 😂😂
God heard my heart cry, we arrived at school and I was already looking forward to lighting at my faculty.
I couldn't even wait for a second, I jumped out of the bus immediately when the driver got to my faculty. I didn't even look back to confirm if I dropped something, which I usually do, rather this time, I flee to our laboratory.
Apart from the strange mister I was running away from, I was also already some minutes later for my chemistry practical, but thankfully, when I got to the laboratory, the practical was yet to commence and somehow I forgot about the strange mister.
In all thy getting, please get yourself a major distraction from this world, **mine is always my earpieces**. But today I lost to this world simply because I lost my earpieces.
But all the same, it was a lovely day. And I am grateful to God for seeing me through another 30 days.
**Happy New Month Guys!**

Rivals
Life has taught us some major lessons and whether we wanna agree to this or we fail to realize this, it doesn't matter cause the fact remains.
We often say **we aren't in any competition with anyone** but is that really the truth or it's just something we want to say just because we don't wanna be seen trying to compete with the next opponent?
Whether this has been your adage from time past or even up till now, the truth is you have competed with people since birth.
Right from that moment you were safely delivered and sent to planet earth.
We all had or have rivals, whether we like it or not or whether we choose to accept it or not.
And to make matters worst, most of our parents believe we should do better than the other man's child.
Their major objective sometimes isn't because they want us to be who we want to be or ought to be but because they feel and think we should be better than the other person, the next opponent.
That's why where I come from, you will hear a father telling or asking a child who did all his or her best to attain a certain height academically why he or she didn't do better than that or even surpass his or her opponent.
In primary and secondary levels of education, such a father would this statement ***" why didn't you come out as best graduating with the first position like the other person? Does it mean the other child has two heads? "***
Though we joke about it but this is what true competition is all about. Trying to do better than the next opponent or even attain the same feat or height with that person and as a matter of fact, become rivals.
And if care is not taken, such a child would end up looking at everyone as his or her rival. He or she will grow up always trying to compete with another person and challenging them.
The greatest joy is being able to do something and doing that thing because you love to and you truly wish to do that thing and not because you are trying to compete with someone for it.
Life might not have been so fair to you but trust me, it has never been to anyone.
That you lose today doesn't mean that you will keep on losing all your life.
Take it easy and go easy on yourself.
You are not in a competition with anyone so don't create rivals for yourself.
When you see everyone as your opponent, you might end up messing your whole life, missing opportunities, and so on.
You didn't come into this world to compete with anyone.
Your goals and objectives are different from the next party and so is your destination.
Do everything you can to stay true to yourself and be the best you can be.
Always strive to see a better version of yourself for yourself and not for anyone or because of anyone.
No Rivals! Just You!
***Still your baby girl ;)***

Comfortable Wear! Confident Looks!
If wearing high heels is the only determiner of being a lady then I rather give out my **ladyhood role** and if there is anything I dislike as a person, it is discomforting myself in any way possible, especially the quest to please people or look all perfect in their eyes.
I rather do what makes me happy and comfortable than try to be in someone's good book.
**Wearing high heels** is one of my biggest discomforts. The rate of discomfort cannot be understated. Wearing them is my worst nightmares.
When I was younger, I used to admire ladies who go on heels but I stopped at nothing other than to laugh at those who couldn't walk comfortably after wearing high heels. Their steps are usually funny and I find myself giggling or shaking my head each time I see them.
I don't think I have had any terrible experience with high heels since I don't even wear them. But the first time I wore something that lifted me off the ground a bit, I regretted it because of how uncomfortable I was, and to crown it all, my feet were suffering or better still, paying the price for a greater part of the discomfort.
Though after that first experience, I became used to that particular shoes which I can now wear with comfort and at my convenience.
It's funny how you are being noted for something or singled out for a particular thing. The first time after ages I wore that shoe that lifted me off the ground a bit, most of my friends exclaimed, one was like ***"Waky what happened today?"*** 🙄 *Didi must be crazy though*😂😅 and then the other was like **Wow! Senior it's been like ages you wore heels**
And for my mind I was like, has she even seen me on heels before? Cause I doubt, I can't even remember the last time I wore it myself, talk more of the young lady seeing me on them.
All the same, the exclamations were just alarming and I was like, this is crazy. So it means I am known for flat shoes and sneakers (my very best☺)
Well, it's good to be known for what you like or love and I am proud to be a lover of **Flats and Sneakers**
But all the same, I applaud ladies who wear high heels with so much confidence and comfort.
Kudus! To all those ladies, I don't mind trading my ladyhood with you guys😂 hey! Just kidding you lol.
Wearing high heels doesn't make me a lady or any less of it.
Cheers to every lady out there who is comfortable and confident in what she wears and how she looks.

Fall In Love Again
It's been a stressful week and I am not mincing words.
If someone told me I would starve my blog for such a long time, I wouldn't have believed or would have rebuked the thought but here I am starving my blog for days now but all I can say is that **It is well**
By the way, I strongly believe we are all in perfect shape and good health.
Here goes my topic of discussion for today.
Yesterday while returning from lectures and heading to another hall for another lecture, we noticed the sky started changing color and the weather slowly adjusted bringing that cold and sweet breeze that blows my mind away😂😅
And for someone who loves such weather, I couldn't help but keep my eyes fixed on the clouds, I appreciated the weather for suddenly changing from hot and blazing to a cold and breezy one.
And I just couldn't hide the joy and excitement, so I exclaimed.
Two of my coursemate said they hated rain or such weather that they rather prefer sun and heat than choose rain. But there goes one of them who also love cold weather and atmosphere like me😊
While we were giving our opinions and different view as to why we love and choose a particular season, weather, or atmosphere, I sighted our school field, one of which I love the most cause to me it looks quite lovely for a romantic sit-out or just a picnic.
So I told my friends, just take a look at that field and how it resonates with the weather and atmosphere.
And then I said to them, beholding such atmosphere takes my breath away and sweeps me off my feet😊
I also told them that if I could have such on my wedding day then I wouldn't mind, cause it would make me fall in love the second time.
So my friend asked two questions;
**Do you mean that rain should fall on your wedding day?**
Well, the answer was NO, I wasn't speaking of rain falling but rather that cold and lovely looking weather and atmosphere, showing the dark clouds yet holding back the water or rain.
And then she asked again;
**So you mean you will fall in love with another person on your wedding day because of this weather?**
Of course the answer was NO. Not falling in love with another person but falling for the same person the second time or over again😅 crazy right? And sound funny too.
Well, this led me to this discussion, the main purpose for today's article, and not really my rant about loving cold weather, since that one is already a fact.
**Falling In Love The Second Time Or Again And Again**
This may sound a little lame but the truth is, it can happen and it should, or don't you think so?
I mean the same way your heart raced very fast the moment or first time you met and fell for that guy or girl should happen over and over again, don't you think so?
Your love should be renewed daily.
You can fall in love with the person you love again and again. It shouldn't be a one-day occurrence. I mean, it shouldn't be that today you like this person and the next day, it feels that the reason for liking that person has faded away and you can't find another.
There is always something sweet and unique about a person that makes you drip for them, and you should normalize discovering those things in the person you claim to love.
Yes, always find a reason to fall for that person over and over again.
Learn to renew the love you had for someone if it is true and keep the flow going.
**Fall in love the second time!**
I apologize to everyone that I have missed their articles, I don't know if I could ever make up for it but I appreciate everyone that always stop by my post regardless. Thanks for your generosity and gesture.
I wish you all a great and blessed day.
***Still your baby girl ;)***

Normalize Smelling Nice
**Physically and naturally**, there are three major factors I look out for in people, especially if they were to be the opposite sex.
Hey, before you quote me wrong, I stressed the two words **Physical and Natural** yes, before you get all motivational, save me the speeches.
Guys please in all thy getting, **SMELL NICE**, it is very important.
Looking good and smelling nice is the real deal. If you must dress well then please make it an intention to smell nice as well.
And not just that, please speak well.
So the three major physical factors I tend to admire or look out for in people are;
**Dressing/looking good**
**Smelling nice**
**Speaking well/good vocabulary**
The lack of those three major things is a complete turn-off for me. I almost fainted because of today's incident. And I just couldn't keep it all to myself again. It's not something I am very glad to share or talk about but there is always a reason for everything.
You don't know the feeling of walk-passing someone and the sweet fragrance from you captures the atmosphere or your surrounding. That sweet fragrance can capture a person's heart, soul, spirit, and mind lol. If you doubt me then just smell good and I will be here when you share the experience. And if you think smelling bad is so nice, the floor is still open for you.
Most times I am intrigued by people's smell much more than their looks. If you look good yet you smell awful then it doesn't make any sense.
I mean your body odor should be commensurate to your looks or outfit.
Normalize smelling good, there are reasons.
While I was growing up, I never knew why my sister kept buying body spray and perfume as if they were body cream, little me! What did I know?😂 I hardly powdered my face talk more about using body spray and perfumes.
My naive thought was that body spray was for people who had body odor especially bad ones so I was like? Why does she keep buying them?
Little did I know that I will grow up to learn and appreciate good smells.
I normalized smelling good as I grew up and I can't help but admire those whose body odors are pleasant to my nose.
Today I tried as much as I could to withstand the bad odor from the driver that conveyed me to school. I couldn't help the situation as I was already seated very close to the man. All my prayers were **God please, someone should alight so I could adjust away from this man or change my seat**
And God heard my prayers, along the way, one of the passengers alighted so I quickly switched seats.
I couldn't believe my ears when the man asked **"are you okay or comfortable sitting here or will you change seat?"**
Goodness me! Of course, I will change seats, I wasn't even comfortable in the first place and you are asking if I would change seats?
I didn't even wait for him to finish, I was already at the back of the vehicle sitting somewhere else a little distance away from where he sat.
You know most times, a good and proper bath helps get rid of body odors and good creams does the same magic too.
You don't necessarily need expensive body sprays and perfumes to smell nice or good.
Please in all thy getting guys, smell good, ***e get why***...
***Still your baby girl ;)***

Just A Word Of Prayer
I wake up each morning unconsciously chanting her songs, dancing to the rhythms even without the music playing in the background.
I consciously play her songs every day while on my way to school sitting on a bus. Sometimes I even set her track on repeat just because I love the feeling that comes with listening to someone render heavenly pieces in lines of songs and gracefully enjoying rendering gratitude to God Almighty.
**Mercy Chinwo** has been a good example to so many young people out there.
Let's not go into what she can or cannot do, what we know or we do not know but let's say the truth that we have been blessed with her songs in one way or the other, **mostly Nigerians** who has listened to her songs either by chance or by intentions.
I knew nothing about the woman of God until her first song which paved the way for her and fetched her many fans.
Yes, the song **Excess Love** went viral and this is when we started hearing and seeing more of Mercy Chinwo.
And from that moment, she has been rendering and delivering heavenly and soul-lifting pieces.
**Obinasom** (meaning ***My heart is joyful***) used to be my favorite among her list of songs but now I don't even know which I like best because her songs just fit into every situation and every track hits differently.
When I hear her sing, I know she is enjoying what she does. It's not always about how angelic your voice may sound or how sonorous it is.
Not even in how much you can pitch a song. When you are doing what you were called to do with passion, with love, and with the grace of God made sufficient unto every one, then be assured that you will break barriers, move mountains, and even thread the path that many with the angelic and sonorous voices haven't.
When you are doing the will of the father, and all grace is abounding, tell me what more can you ask for?.
Indeed Mercy is a role model to many and today marking another phase and beginning of her life, I pray that every chapter of life that will be opened this year shall be penned with goodness, and every good plan and thought God has for her shall be made manifest in her life.
I pray for speedy restoration of whatever she had been cheated of in the past and a quick manifestation of God's goodness in her life as she begins her new year and adds to her age.
**Happy Birthday God's Representative!**
**Happy Birthday My number one Favourite Artiste!**
Cheers to a new beginning and many more fruitful years!
If you aren't so busy guys, please just say a word of prayer for her on her special day and also wish her a belated birthday.
***Still your baby girl ;)***
***To my faithful readers and wonderful sponsors, my heart goes out to you guys. Thank you for making my journey here a fun-filled and exciting one. Thanks for trusting and supporting my work too. I pray that God bless you all real good :)***

The Fear Of Failure Fuels A Man
Disagree, argue, and please state your points ;) I am very open to them lol, either way, we learn every day.
I have been in these shoes. The one thing I was always afraid of was **Failure** and I have said this time without numbers. I don't like venturing into something if I was going to fail at the end of it all.
To me, there was no compensation for failure, so I thought.
If you have ever failed in an important project or the least thing like an examination then you will know that it feels like a death-end especially for some people that take life way too seriously.
**Failure** is a big threat to mankind whether we like it or not. Please let's keep the bunch of silly talks and most times words of motivation because no one really wants to be a failure in life.
Don't be carried away by motivational speakers that you don't know when and where to apply their logic.
To some persons, failure opened them up to different opportunities.
To some, failure hardened them and made them become what they are today.
To another, failure humbled them to learn from others and take up life challenges.
One way or the other, failure always has a way of dealing with man individually.
It either serves as a lesson to you or it's a threat.
**The Fear Of Failure Is The Beginning Of Wisdom**
Like I said, you can prove your point. Certainly, you can disagree or disapprove of this.
But to some extent, I have seen a person become overly serious with life and the task at hand simply because the word **Failure** was being mentioned.
A student who is threatened about becoming a failure if he or she doesn't utilize his or her time well to study will end up doing so and why is that? That student is simply afraid of failure or you can say that he or she doesn't wanna become a failure and that alone serves as wisdom to that person.
**Fear**, though not a positive virtue pushes or urges people to do positive things at times, does that even make any sense? Can't say.
Again you don't have to agree with me ;)
A lady who is afraid of making mistakes in marriage or making wrong decisions will stay single until she is convinced about what she wants and her decision is certain (after all, women are more concerned about building a good home as much as men are about their businesses, no need to argue this)
And this drives this person to read books, make research on building a good home, and also praying even before venturing into marriage.
Still, the fear of being a failure in marriage became the beginning of wisdom for the lady.
A man or some bunch of men has abruptly refused to venture into businesses of their desires or even start up something because they feel they might not be able to run the business or that their finance won't be enough to fund or run the business ot whatever project at hand to the end and so they are afraid of folding up after some years or months.
With this, such men will stop at nothing but to plan their life well, to better utilize the finances or money that gets into their account or pocket, and at the end of it all, fear of failure in business served as wisdom to make better and more reliable plans.
I will love you to pause here, take a deep breath, and ponder on this.
What truly drives you to keep striving?
What's your reason for working your ass out even when your body deserves some rest but you cheat it to it?
Why do you stay up all night looking at your computer and other gadgets and sometimes developing serious migraines yet you endure it?
What makes you burn the night candle when you could have comfortably embrace your pillow and sleep to your heart content?
What are those reasons that throw you off your bed and get you buckled and ready for the day?
For all or most of us, the ready-made answer is; "**SUCCESS"**.
And what's the opposite of success, baby boy or girl, man or woman, it is **"FAILURE"**.
If you aren't succeeding in something, then it definitely means you are failing in it.
No one loves to fail, except such person is a psycho (sorry to say)
No matter how little, no matter how long, no matter how difficult, we all desire success.
Yes, we all wish and want to succeed in whatsoever we do.
And truth be told if there was a way to eradicate all the motivations people receive only after failure, then the majority would have given their vote for it.
*Failure teaches!*
*Failure empowers!*
*Failure humbles!*
*Failure threatens!*
*But the* ***Fear Of Failure*** *is the beginning of wisdom!*
This is what fuels a man.
Wise up! If you must succeed in life.
Have a very lovely day and weekend!
***Still your baby girl ;)***

Broken Pieces
Watch it, Flora!
I had nothing to do with the broken glasses. Maybe you should try asking John, why not said those words to him? You and I know very well that he is the only psycho among us.
Keep it down Benita! What if he hears you?
And so what Flora? Let him hear me. As it is, I am already tired of condoning his excesses. I don't know why mom chose to let a crazy person move in with us. Why do we have to tolerate the disturbing attitude of some kid she picked on the street? I keep having second thoughts about why his parents abandoned him or better still, threw him away.
It's okay Benita, just keep it down and clean this up okay?
I am not gonna do that Sis! Maybe you should, but for me? I am not cleaning up the mess Johnny made. It's gonna remain that way for mom to come back and meet it. We can't keep covering up for him.
***(Door Opens)***
Hi Flora! Hi Benita!
I am sorry for making the mess here. I am gonna clean it now.
You better do, I retorted and headed back to my room while Flora left to the kitchen to fix dinner.
She called out to me to come to give her a hand in the kitchen.
I whined at first cause I had to study for an upcoming examination, but I still had to help my sister so I rushed down to the kitchen after I finished up with what I was doing in my room.
Welcome, Mom!
Thank you, sweetie. Where are your siblings?
Mom Flora is upstairs and junior is already asleep.
Okay, and Johnny?
You asked of my siblings mom, not some stranger.
Will you shut it up, Benita? I have already told you time without number that Johnny is part of us now and you should start treating him like family and one of your siblings.
Anyway mom, I can't do that because he isn't my brother and I can't pretend that I love him when the truth is I don't.
To worsen the whole matter, he has anger and attitude problems mom. He only pretends when you are around.
Even today he broke........
Hello mom, welcome home, Flora cut in.
She ran downstairs to hug mom and kiss her on the forehead.
How are you doing my darling daughter?
I am doing great mom and everyone at home is fine.
That's my baby girl. I hope dinner is ready? Sure mom, trust your daughter.
Flora gave mom a wink and dragged her to go take her bath.
She pinched my cheeks when she walked past and shut me up too.
Benita! Benita! Benita!
Yes, sis!
Come right this moment.
Okay sis, coming!
Benita, what exactly is your problem? Why can't you just leave that poor boy alone and mind your business? Why do you keep making his life more miserable than it is already?
Tell me would you have been happy or normal if you were in his shoes? Do you know what it feels like to be abandoned by the same people that brought you to this world? Leaving you to roam the streets? You don't right? So why are you so hard on Johnny? For once can't you act like a human and see Johnny as one too? He has gone through a lot and all he needs at this moment is love and care. He may not act like it but he has been starved of the true love of a family. He doesn't know what it feels like to be loved by the people you call your own.
Can't you at least act like you care? Can't you give him that space?
Mom is trying his best to do that. I and junior are doing our best too but Benita you are making life more unbearable for him even under the roof and covering of what he thinks family should look like or be like.
Be human for once Benita. Give it a try, just let johnny be and try to accept him as family now, he really needs it. He yearns for our love and support please let's give him that.
The words Flora said to be resonated but I was still reluctant and adamant about accepting Johnny as part of us. I left my sister heading back to my room only to find Johnny by the doorsteps soaked in tears with a piece of paper in his hands. He ran away when he saw me coming, little did he know that I saw him.
I wondered why he came to my doorsteps only for him to run away when I arrived.
I wanted to find out what he had in his hands and what was written on that piece of paper.
I knocked on Johnny's door hours later.
He didn't open until after three to four knocks.
He ushered me in and just like I imagined it, his room was a mess. He had littered papers everywhere and his bed was untidy.
Sorry for the nature of my room, he said.
It's okay, I wasn't expecting anything better, I said. (Ooops, or maybe that came out wrongly)
So Johnny, what brought you to my doorstep earlier?
I saw you leaving when I was approaching.
Oh, nothing Benita! I guess I just missed my way and went to your doorstep. I am so sorry about that.
That's a lie Johnny! You had something in your hands too. What was that? Could it be that you wanted to give me something?
No, no, no Benita, what could I possibly give to someone like you that has almost everything?
And what do you mean by that John?
***The love of a family, wonderful siblings, a good house and home, good meals on your table every day, access to knowledge through one of the best schools in town*** should I continue with the list, Benita? Or do you get my point now?
Anyway, that was just by the way, I had nothing to give to you. I just missed my way around. I am sorry for stumbling at your doorstep, it wouldn't happen again.
It's alright then John, I guess I will take my leave now and let you do something about your room.
Take care John! See you around!
***To be continued...!***

When You Meet A Photography Lover
**Meet Lucy!**
A photo lover and freak just like me. The only difference between her and me is that she loves taking photographs of herself while I like photographs of just anything especially natural vegetation.
Lucy is strong-willed, bold, outspoken, nice, and friendly too. She isn't afraid of saying her mind whether she is right or wrong, she just loves giving her opinion about a particular thing.
Hey! That wasn't the business of today, maybe someday I will write an epistle about her or for her, whichever way.
How We Met?
Interesting!
I entered the students bus some weeks ago about to go to school when I saw this young girl walked into the same bus, sat beside me even when there was still enough space somewhere else. And as always, I had my earpieces on with music playing but not very loud so I could still hear people talking.
She greeted me which I gave a quick response and minded my business, like back to flipping around my phone while still listening to the music playing on my phone.
That didn't stop miss Lucy to also mind her business and let me enjoy my music lol
Again she went further to ask which department I was in. I mean such audacity. What gave her such boldness to do that with someone she just met and doesn't even know if I was her senior colleague or not (😂😂) I mean I wasn't even with an office file or students file as an indication that I was a fresher but she still asked that question and I was surprised though I answered her.
Yes, I told her my discipline and she was like **wow! Same here**
It turned out we were gonna meet in the same department anyways and then that's how our journey began.
The young girl got my contact so I could give her information and keep her updated. Just when we were getting to know each other each passing day, I found out she loves taking photos. Turns out she is a photo freak as well. She keeps asking for free shots of herself and I always end up with the hassle of taking every different shot she ever asked for 😞( I didn't sign up for this😂) but what you do for friends anyway lol.
So about these shots? After our chemistry class on Friday, Lucy came with her usual statement **Waky please you will give me some shots with your phone**🙄🥴
And this was me standing and squatting under the blazing sun just to give this human girl some shots🙄😒 and yet she still wasn't okay with the few I took, she kept asking for more😞
When I couldn't bear the hot sun any longer, I shouted that I wasn't gonna shot her again😂😂 and so I ran off leaving her sitting on the hill😂😂 her studio spot lol.
Lucy isn't shy of taking photos just anywhere, unlike me lol (guess that makes her love for photography very different from mine).
I decided to use her as my model for today. It's been a while I gave a little touch of my editing skill to photos, so today I had a little time to do just that. I hope you like these shots and the editing touches.
She will love them I bet(shhssss, it's a secret, she is yet to have these edited version lol🤫🤫)
**Shot And Edited By zellypearl.!**

Sacrifice ~ A Glimpse Of Friday
About yesterday I talked about **kindness and selfless kindness**
Today is another phase of what I started yesterday.
I was happy to share my little experience with you guys yesterday and today I also received the same major of kindness from someone.
I mean this is something I watched happened to someone else and today was my turn to receive a major of that kindness 😊
Do you wanna know or hear about it? Sure! Why not? Just stay put and I will be glad to drill you lol ;)
I don't know if I have mentioned this in any of my articles before but I rarely have the time to do most of my online activities like before because of offline tight schedules and one of those is my academic activities. I leave my home as early as 6:45 AM or most times 7 AM and I return mostly around 7 PM or 7:35 PM depending on the nature of the road for that day.
And leaving the house, I board public transport to a particular bus stop where all the students meet to board another bus that will take us directly to the school and fro.
For students that have classes till 6 PM, it's mostly difficult to find the **students buses** that will convey us back to the bus stop where we were all earlier picked in the morning. And finding any public transport to take us there meant trekking some kilometers and it's always very tiring I must say especially after such a long day.
So in such situations, students usually count themselves fortunate if after the ended 6 pm class, they still find the students buses.
Today I was among those students that usually thank their stars for finding the student bus after lectures.
Little did I know that other students had already filled up the bus and it was remaining only one seat which wasn't a comfortable one, not even close to what can be managed.
I could literally fall off the bus if I tried sitting there.
I rushed to the bus only to find that one seat left and I was sad at the same time because there were no other student buses and the seat I found wasn't anything to write home about.
No matter how tiring and stressful it would have been to trek and find public transport, I couldn't have taken such a risk of sitting in that uncomfortable position in the students bus at the expense of my safety.
I was about to leave and perhaps start trekking or find another bus when a young guy decided to switch seats with me.
He actually sacrificed his comfortable seat just so I could sit well. He was willing to pay the price for it.
Happily, I jumped onto the bus and he sat beside me. I did all I could to make enough room for him so he could at least fit in better than I could have lol.
He did manage the little space I created for him and boom! The driver zoomed off.
While on the way, he made a statement that got me when we started communicating.
He said that he wouldn't have made such a sacrifice for any other person especially a girl but he doesn't know why he sacrificed for me and guess what? I told him I was different and that my grace was different from others lol.
He smiled and even compared me to Esther in the Bible (if we are conversant with the scriptures)
And then I was like yeah, I might not be named *Esther** but I guess I carry a similar level of grace and favor lol.
The journey went well and we just kept talking until we reached our destination.
And this brings me to this conclusion;
There isn't any kindness without sacrifice
Both works together and if one is crossed out then the other isn't really what it is. Both kindness and sacrifice are dependent on each other.
Your kindness toward people will cost you something and if you are truly kind and willing to help then you ought to make sacrifices.
One cannot work without the other.
I am not sure if I will ever meet the young guy again but I am grateful to him for that sacrifice he made just so I could be comfortable and then arrive at my destination a little earlier than I usually arrive. All thanks to him!
By the way, I thank God it's weekend. Happy Weekend Everyone.
Let's look forward to the next week already and what it has in store for us lol. Be sure to make the most out of this weekend, enjoy! And stay safe always.
***Still your baby girl ;)***

Selfless Kindness
Everything about today just felt like Friday.
I can't wait for the weekend but it's as if there is nothing like a weekend for us except Sunday which isn't even a free day either.
It's tiring if I must confess but I know over time it will be worth it.
Today happens to be the shortest day for me but it also appears to be the longest.
Anyway, that's a story for another day.
Back to my purpose for this article today.
Earlier today while coming back from school, I boarded a public transport and was heading home, while on the way, an old woman stopped the public transport and wanted to enter but a young lady at the back asked to switch places with the old woman.
The woman thanked the young lady and then went to the back to sit.
While on the way, when we reached a certain point, the old woman tapped the driver to stop for her to alight.
And when she alighted and pulled out her purse or bag to remove money and pay the driver, a man also at the back told the driver to drive on and let the old woman go that he will fund her transport fare.
The woman thanked the man and blessed him as well even with the young lady that exchanged seats with her earlier.
From the woman's face and composure, one could tell that she was very tired.
Getting to the house, I was very tired and sleepy but I just decided to lay on my bed and surf the net, while going through some recent updates, I bumped into a short clip that portrayed kindness, at first I didn't know what the clip was all about so because of curiosity I decided to watch till the very end. It was about four short clips.
In the clip, a lady inside a moving bus saw an old man standing beside her so she asked the old man to sit down while she stands, but the old man told her that it's okay because his ticket was without a seat.
But the lady insisted and the only way she could make the old man agree to sit down was by telling him that her ticker also was without a seat.
The old man probably believed her and thought maybe she was using someone else's seat for the meantime that the owner wasn't on the bus so he accepted the offer to sit down.
Little did he know that it was actually the lady's seat and which she was willing to offer to him.
The bus kept moving and it lasted for some hours, other travelers started sleeping and some already dozed off since it was hours drive. The old man became worried about the lady that he asked her how long or how many more hours was left before she reached her destination. The lady answered and told the old man that 5 more hours was left but that it was little so it was okay.
The man told her that if she was tired of standing then she shouldn't hesitate to tell him
The old man fell deep asleep until when the manager of the bus came to ask the passenger of their tickers. When it was the old man's turn and the lady's turn to give their tickers for verification, the manager noticed that the old man's ticker was boldly written **NO SEAT** but the lady standing had a seat number which was the one the old man was sitting on.
The lady told the manager not to say a word to the old man and the manager adhered to what she said and let the old man enjoy her seat but do you know the funny and most shocking thing of the entire short clip?
It's wasn't only about the lady's kindness but also her **selfless kindness**
The truth is when it was time for the lady to alight from the bus, she grabbed her walking sticks with her place on both sides and walked out of the bus. This left the rest of the passengers in shock.
She had a challenge, a disability yet she was still kind enough to offer help to another person even in her state. Such a selfless sacrifice and kindness.
And it was only when I was writing this I remembered that somehow it was similar to what happened with the other old woman in the bus today, though the young lady, in this case, wasn't disabled like the one in the short clip but the kindness was also intact. Offering a comfortable seat for an older person is like seeing someone in trouble and willing to help in the little way you can.
The video clip I watched was so touching and it made me realized that kindness is just a matter of the heart and not something that should be done as a show-off or something.
Because these days some humans are only kind to other humans just so that they can show off or something.
And some go about bragging after helping people or someone.
We can become better people and make the world a better place if we all could be selfless sometimes in our dealings with others.
It may not always come every day or every time but once in a while, show kindness and do it selflessly.

Never Nocturnal
It goes down as the sun goes down, though not an automatic shut down, sometimes I battle with it but I, my body system works to function more doing the day than it is in the night.
The only time I know I can be up all night is if I had enough rest during the day which I will later need to take me through the night, but even with that, I will find my body system still struggling and battling not to obey the call of nature when it beckons on me.
Many function more at night but I believe I do better during the day. Though this was the case, situations and circumstances arose and needed me to be a little bit active at night.
This began when I just started high school and realized that I needed to stay up at night for at least 4hours to study for an examination if I wanted to do well in that particular subject.
I adjusted with time and slowly my system got used to it, so from time to time during an examination, I spent hours studying at night but still leaving out a few hours to sleep a bit before waking up fully to function well during the day.
For six years I was able to do just that until I completed high school, I literally became nocturnal because of circumstances but after high school, I went back to being diurnal. Immediately it was between 10 pm or at most 11 pm, baby girl is snuggling in bed and about to travel to dreamland.
My system just got used to it and was very comfortable that way.
I mean I didn't have to stay up all night studying for any goddamn forsaken exams neither was I preparing for anything at that moment so I did use to give way to nature and answer when it calls.
But then came another circumstance, I unconsciously became nocturnal again. I find myself functioning even better at night than I do during the day.
I became used to that nature and I cleaved to it for sometimes and when the reason that sparked that activeness wasn't there anymore, it went back to normal again, how my system originally operated before.
Never Nocturnal
For some days I dare my system and want to overwork it or stress it out. On some of those occasions, it usually shut down on me.
Like what happened last night. I may not have planned for it but on a long and stressful day, I still had to stay up very late and complete a particular task before retiring to bed, and the effect of that action hit me real hard today in school.
I tried my best to fight it but my whole body was weakened.
I had to manage the little free-lectures hours to rest my head a bit before carrying on with my day's activities.
I guess the few hours or minutes of rest helped a bit and I was able to feel my body, joints, and bones again to continue with my leftover activities for the day.
And here we are, it's night already, and my system is already dancing to the tune and rhythms of nature's calls. And I will have to answer the call of nature sooner or much later, but whatever be the case, **I am not and was never a nocturnal being**
See you guys later! I trust you are all doing good
Remember to always choose what works best for you and your body system.
Stay healthy always and stay strong.
It's really been a while hasn't it been? By the way, who missed me?🥺🥺 because I missed everyone😩🥺. It's good to show up again after such busy days.

What Is Your Definition Of Good And Bad?
I don't know why the thought of this suddenly gripped me again today. Perhaps the reason is that it's Sunday and for believers or Christians, today is declared **The Lord's Day or Sabbath Day**
On this day, Christians all over the world assemble to pray, worship, praise God and they also teach the word of God.
For reasons I know not, the thought of an incident that happened a few weeks ago in school flashed through my mind and I was thinking, why not share or talk about it?
Okay, a few weeks ago, we have a class for the course commonly called GST **Philosophy and Human Existence**
I have been hearing a lot of stories about this course and sometimes I feel most of those stories are false or just rumors but I guess I was wrong though not entirely.
We rushed in that early morning for the class slated for 8 am, we all got settled and the lectures started.
A woman took us on the course and the class was moving smoothly until she started throwing in questions and all.
In a quest to answer, most students started using and trying to defend their religions but the woman stopped them and told them that in **philosophy class, we aren't supposed to mention or answer questions based on our various religions and quoting the Bible or Scriptures and even Quran if there was any among us.**
For me, the lady was just doing her work, she is a philosopher for crying out loud and we should always expect these things from them but that doesn't in any way means that those things they say or do should temper with our beliefs or what and who we believe in.
She is a Christian according to her, and she didn't in any way deny her faith nor sabotage her profession. She did her best to balance the two.
She only asked a simple question and some students tend to carry it on their head 😂(sorry to say, some students though)
And the question was;
**Do you do good because it's the right thing to do or its because the Bible says so**
I don't even want to go into the responses we had that day from the students. I am just concerned about what had been going through my mind since when she asked that question.
And this is me thinking philosophically.
***What makes us think or feel that the things we consider to be good are actually good and the ones labeled as bad are bad as we say?***
Apart from the ones scriptures have recorded and warned us against which are bad, such as stealing, lying, killing and all.
The thought kept running through my mind and if not that the class was already rounding up, I would have questioned the lady philosopher.
Like who exactly made the degree or label most of the things we consider to be bad as bad?
Who said that blinking of the eyes at elders is an insult?
How did it come about?
What about that sound we make with our mouth? Why is that bad too?
I haven't seen anywhere in the scriptures that those things are termed bad so where did we get the idea from?
It is also said that a child or baby who knows right and wrong shouldn't bite his or her mother's breast while sucking and if that accidentally happens, it is termed as a bad thing or a bad act, like really?
**What Is Your Definition Of Good And Bad?**
Most times, our conscience judges us according to the things we do. Thank God for our conscience but if we take out our conscience that makes us feel guilty of a particular crime, how would you tell that good from the bad? For believers, this may probably sound very easy because of the help of the Holy Spirit right?
But after creation, God outlined a few wrong deeds and things that are considered as sin which we as believers should stay away from. And after repentance and salvation of the soul, the Holy Spirit became man's greatest gift, to teach man, to rebuke, to encourage, and to correct whenever man goes wrong.
And if we take out these three things;
**The Holy Bible**
**The Holy Spirit**
**Our Conscience**
How would you tell what is right from wrong?
How will you know that this thing is good and the other is bad?
What will your definition of good and bad be?
Perhaps most of the things we consider as bad today were pioneered by people and we adopted it without even questioning if this thing is actually bad or good or if it should be considered as whatever the pioneer declared it to be.
But as believers, in all our dealings, we shouldn't neglect the Holy Spirit given to us on the day of redemption.
We shouldn't follow the crowd and multitude.
Because this person, professor, doctor, teacher or whosoever it is said this thing is either good or bad doesn't necessarily mean it is what they have said or declared.
Give your own definition of things and situations with the help of the Holy Spirit.
**Stay True!**
**Happy Lord's Day!**

The Divine Fury
You know that weird looks people give you whenever something is being mentioned in a group or a gathering of people and it seems you are the only one left out? Trust me I have seen a lot of it.
It's the same looks I get whenever I tell people I don't Facebook or hardly ever go to that site.
It's the same looks I get when I tell people I don't have an intimate friend.
It's even the same looks I get when I tell people I hardly watch movies these days.
I can understand not being on Facebook, I can understand not having an initiate friend but really, what is so wrong with not watching or seeing a movie?
Mind you, I never told them I don't watch movies at all.
I only say I rarely got the chance or time to see movies as much as I used to before.
I remember the urge or longing to see a movie drifted apart last year and since then, I find it very difficult to watch movies for a very long time.
I mean a movie can settle in my phone or PC for as long as I can remember
I have been given series of movies before by a friend since last year and to this day, those movies are still on my PC unwatched.
Recently a friend came over to my place and I noticed she was so engrossed in her phone, giving some funny reactions and displaying some moves and when I peeped, it was a movie she was seeing, yes she had her earpieces on so I couldn't tell what she was doing until I glanced through her phone.
I was forced to ask her the title of the movie that made her react in such a way.
She told me the name and since it had some kind of relationship with the kinds of movies I like, I told her to share the movie with me so I can also watch it whenever I was chanced. She did just that but funnily enough, I never remembered again to watch the movie until when a friend asked me to share some of my videos with her in school, I told the girl I had no movies because to be sincere I didn't remember I recently got a movie from that my friend that visited.
The girl was surprised and she was like, but I saw a movie on your phone the other day I was making use of your phone. I was like **which movie?** I even forgot the same movie I asked for lol.
The girl went as far as telling me the name of the movie and that was when I remembered collecting the movie from my friend so I could watch it later.
I shared the movie with the girl and that was it.
Somehow when I returned from church yesterday, though it was late, I decided to give the **said movie** a try. I was tired and I didn't feel like writing or doing anything so I thought why not use that time to watch the movie, although I knew I would sleep off on it, it's normal for a tired and stressed person anyway lol.
I started the movie and I eventually slept off on it as I foresaw.
But thankfully, today I got the chance to finish up the movie and I must say it's worth my time after such a long time of not getting engrossed with movies.
And because I like what I watched, I decided to share it with you guys, and guess what? It's a bit horrific, I can't believe I just watched a horror movie😂😂
I dread horror movies by the way, and I didn't even guess this was classified as **horror** not until I searched it on the net and I got the result **horror/action** lol.
I think I have already kept you guys in a lot of suspense with my beating around the bush lol, so let's get to the movie title and a little about it, anyway, don't expect much cause I suck at movies reviews, you might wanna watch and see for yourself lol.
The movie is titled; **"THE DIVINE FURY"**
At the mention of **fury** one can tell that it's action-inclined.
The Divine Fury

Did I tell you that it's one of Korea's production? (Even my best 😉)
**The Divine Fury** was released on 31st July 2019 (south Korea).
**Young-hu** is a little boy who lost his dad at a teenage age and since then, he was forced not to believe in God due to anger and rage.
He was taught to believe that whatever is asked of God in prayers that God will hear and also answer/do.
Young-hu prayed and cried to God when his dad got into a fatal accident trying to fight crime for the good of the people and his country.
A priest even prayed with Young-hu when he met him in the church. Young-hu trusted the priest and believed in God to save his poor father but God still had his way and the same demon that possessed the man who had put Young-hu father in that state also killed his father.
Since then, Young-hu nurtured the pain and anger in his heart especially when he sights the image, symbol, or craft of the holy cross. He believed that the priest lied to him and that God didn't answer his prayers even after believing. Though Young-hu was bitter about his father's death, still this didn't change the fact that he had a good heart just like his father. He grew up to become a boxer and one day he woke up with a strange scar on his palms.
He started hearing voices and trying so hard to sleep at night.
This strange happening led Young-hu to **Father Ahn**, an exorcist priest that helped Young-hu discover God's will for his life, telling him that God had his reasons for taking his father and also blessing him with the gifts of being able to burn or exorcise demons with a single touch of the scar or mark on his palm.
**Young-hu** was still nonchalant about whatever the priest was saying because of the pain and scar his father's death brought him.
Although this was the case, Young-hu's goodness couldn't allow him to walk away when **Father Ahn** needed his help in fighting the demons.
He stood by **Father Ahn** the priest on every mission he went to after his first experience and exercise with him.
He knew **Father Ahn** needed him and he just couldn't turn his back on the priest so he always made himself available to help every time.
This continued until the priest was one day knocked down by the demons on one of the missions he went alone. Because of this, **Young-hu** became even angrier in his spirit and decided he was going to face the demon and take him down once and for all.
Ooops... Did I tell you I suck at movies reviews? Maybe this was it lol. You have to find out the rest for yourself if you are so interested lol. Yes, the suspense should be a good reason enough for you to check out this movie.
And if you like it, come back to thank me 😂 Oh No!, not me but the producers lol.
Remember its **horror/action** so if you aren't a fan of those two, then you had better look away lol.
I don't mean to scare you, the movie isn't that scary, maybe except you watch it at night 😂😅
Okay, that's it. Have fun updating your **watched movies list**
I guess after this, the next time I will watch a movie will be in three months, who knows? Lol, anything can happen and it may change ;)
For now, I take a break.

Thursday ~ Almost Weekend
Funny that I have been sitting here all day playing with my phone while listening to what is going on in our meeting.
It's funny the likes and kind of characters displayed and I am not surprised because, in every association or gathering, such attitude is usually displayed.
In every association, we have people from different backgrounds and these characters and attitudes of different kinds will likely be displayed.
Well, I don't wish to go into details but then issues arose and arguments. People gave their opinions on certain matters while some opposed.
Anyway, amidst all these arguments and small fights and trouble, the meeting ended well I guess and we all dismissed.
The main reason and call for the meeting was because of the class that was rescheduled so we decided to use the period and gather to make the appointment of people into their various offices, address the people and the rest of the other things that was done.
Speaking of a missed class. We were supposed to have our biology practical class today but after entering the laboratory with all our materials set and ready for the class, we learned that all the departments wouldn't be taking the practical class today, the biology laboratory was big enough to contain us all, unlike the physics laboratory I last spoke of us, but I don't know why they decided to shift some departments to next week.
The laboratory attendance and our lecturer informed us that most departments will have to wait till the coming week for their practical class while the mentioned departments will take the class for today. And so because if that we decided to steal the time and organize the meeting.
**Another Rainy Day**
It's another rainy day, as I write this, it's pouring cat and dog and I am already freezing like crazy. Today I went to school in my cardigan but this isn't protecting me enough from the cold. I am still feeling cold.
Today seems like it's gonna be a long one for me. I still have classes to attend later and also our youth conference is starting today so I will have to attend that too when I am back from school.
I had to take a shot when it started raining. The whole place is wet and the weather is freaking cold. At this point, I might turn to ice lol.
But notwithstanding, I am a fan of this weather in particular. The way the surroundings and atmosphere changes to almost dark and cloudy, giving the while surrounding cold-warm looks gives me chills 🥰.
I am already feeling so tired. I deserve a break but when I think of the things I wish to achieve and the height I wanna attend, I know I have to keep pressing forward, pushing, and doing my uttermost best until I get to that point.
And again, I miss all my online activities but I just cannot help it. When offline duties and responsibilities call, I just have to give way.
I know that someday I will be fully back and steady like before but for now, I just follow the flow even if it's slow.

Affected By What You Love
Have you ever been affected by the same thing you love so much?
Yet you can still choose that thing over and over again?
It can be a person, it can be something very dear to you. Anything at all but just something you loved yet it's affecting you in a way.
Well, I have one very distinctive thing I love so much and if possible I can love it with the whole of my heart, yet this same thing affects me so badly, in a way I can't even explain or understand. To the point that I even accept my fate that perhaps it is just how I am or my system works.
And what is that thing I love? It's **Cold Weather**.
Well, it's only a crazy person that will tell you he or she loves cold right? Hahaha, then I don't mind being that crazy person. I hate heat with passion and to me, it's very disturbing and makes me so uneasy and restless.
My love for cloudy weather and the dark sky is associated with the cold it brings. When the sky changes color, automatically the weather and atmosphere will change as well accompanied by sweet and relaxing breeze/fresh air that leaves you shivering and your body yearning for warmth.
Oh, that heavenly sensation is second to none. It can't ever be compared.
I am crazy about the dark sky, I am crazy about the cloudy atmosphere, I am crazy about the sweet breeze and the coldness it brings, I am crazy about the way my body reacts to every bit of it.
And here is the funny part, I am the number one lover of cold weather yet the same cold-weather deals with me personally, physically, emotionally, and otherwise.
I have even been tagged the **girl with the hood and cardigan** because of that.
Yes, I am always seen on my cardigan and warmer almost 24hours round the clock especially this rainy season. I can't go anywhere without it.
I can go without my warmer but not my cardigan.
I have had two striking funny encounters because of my body system and how it responses to cold weather.
Someone has stopped me before on the road to ask if I was okay because to her it was very hot but I was feeling cold and I was on my cardigan, no! Don't give me that looks, nothing was wrong with me but they thought something was. She thought maybe I wasn't feeling fine or something but that wasn't the case.
Whenever I complain or mention feeling cold on a normal day, my grandma will always ask me to go for a check-up that I may be sick or she would ask the last time I took medications.
One of the very funny experiences was when we went to a program somewhere outside my city. The village or location we went to had my kind of weather; **very cold and chilly**.
The whole surrounding was filled with cold fresh air and the place was surrounded by rivers so you could imagine what would become of such place.
We even tagged that place **Air condition village**
It was freaking cold the first night and I woke up in the middle of the night shaking and shivering, but not for the love of God I might have turned to ice, it was that serious. The gnashing of my upper and lower jaw teeth and the funny noises I was making woke others up. They were astonished when they saw me shaking, the level of the cold was premium, and worst of all is that I didn't go there with my cardigan. So it was like a dead-end to me but I survived. Friends lend me some of their clothes to cover up just so that I won't be shaking as I did again. I fought through the night and in the morning I became a bit better.
There are other experiences I cannot remember. Cold is something I love very much yet it affects my kind of system in a very harsh and cruel way. My body reacts very easily to cold but I just can't help the love for it.
Today was yet another rainy. The cloud and sky changed color of course. It became dark before it finally started raining.
I couldn't help but do one of the things I know how to and love to do; taking different shots of the weather changes.
I will leave some of them here for us to also enjoy the view with me. Yes, this is one of my best or favorite things. This weather does melt my heart in a special way and for me its a perfect weather for romantic sit-outs and even proposals🥺🤭😅
Now I will leave the floor for you guys to also share one or two things you love so much but in a way, it affects you.
As for me, this is one major thing I love so well yet it affects me without even sparing a little.
So tell me your side of the story guys.
Thank you for reading from me today guys.
***Still your baby girl ;***

Forced Marriages
**Silly!**
What were you thinking? What exactly were you expecting?
Finding a soul mate is all but a lie, cooking up weird and lame stories just to satisfy our longing for fantasy and fairy tales.
If falling in love or finding one's soul mate was real and not just a myth then our forefathers would have first experienced or encountered it.
Why do you even believe in love at first sight? That's not even a thing, I mean how do you fall in love by just meeting someone for the first time?
Cut the crab Sophia, its high time you accept your fate and get married to Mr.Johnson, and stop dreaming or talking about finding love and soul mate. That is never gonna happen, maybe not in this lifetime, you can try again in the next but for now, you really should get yourself prepared because Mr.Johnson will be coming with his family members soon to ask for your hand in marriage.
**Hello!**
I am Sophia, 19 years old. I wish to live a little longer and experience life for myself before thinking about marriage but my mom already thinks I should be in an old man's house whom she calls my husband.
She doesn't want me to talk about **love** or **soulmate** of a thing. She doesn't believe in falling in love or finding true love and happiness.
She thinks that being married is some kind of an achievement, not minding if it is at the expense of one's happiness.
My mom doesn't care any less, she just needs the dowry, and she does everything in her power to make sure she gets it even if it means marrying us off at an early age.
Speaking of such, my elder sis is already married with two kids. My mom forced her to marry a businessman in Lagos and she did this at the age of 18 years. Quite early right? Now you understand why she thinks I have overstayed my welcome at home.
She wants me out, yes she wants to send me off.
Crying every night seemed to be the only resolution for me since I can't do anything about it. I have pleaded with my mom many times but she has already made up her mind and there is absolutely nothing anyone could change that.
And this is what I believed until after receiving a call from Richard which later made me have a change of heart and speak up for myself.
Richard, my very good friend called one night and realized I was sobbing, he asked me about the situation at my home and what has been going on. I couldn't tell him my mom wanted to marry me off.
Richard wouldn't take it lightly. No! It wouldn't settle well with him.
Richard is a very good friend that knows me rather too well. He knows the plans I have for marriage and the things I expect. So him hearing about such a thing might make him lose his mind.
I wasn't going to risk it by telling him so when he asked about home and everything, I only told him all is going on well which is an obvious lie.
How much I wanted to let Richard know the truth about what's going on back here at home.
How much I wish I can scream and be let loose as this is suffocating.
I really wish I could tell someone everything and let them share in my pain and burden but I can't.
It seems this burden is mine and mine alone, it can't be shared and shouldn't be.
I realized I needed to deal with my problems and not get others involved.
I made up my mind to let my mom know that I wasn't going to married anyone except my heart says so.
I wasn't going to be forced to marry an old man. I can't be forced into marriage because I knew too well that I will suffer the whole of my life.
I had to muster all the courage to let the truth out. To let my mom know my decision on this issue.
And even though she wouldn't treat me the same again after that, I don't care I just can't do anything against my will or heart and that was final.
***PS: This is just based on my thought about issues of arranged and forced marriages***
What do you guys take on arranged marriage?
Are you a supporter of such actions or activities? Do you feel or think it is right and there is nothing wrong to force marriage and marital life on a person even when they aren't ready for it?
Let's hear your contribution and opinion on this, thank you!
***Still your baby girl ;)***
***To my faithful readers and wonderful sponsors, my heart goes out to you guys. Thank you for making my journey here a fun-filled and exciting one. Thanks for trusting and supporting my work too. I pray that God bless you all real good :)***

Hey With A Difference
Whosoever knows me well, knows I don't like people addressing me or calling my attention with the **HEY** word. And I don't like doing the same to others either except I want to be rude because to me it's impolite to call someone's attention by telling them **Hey**
Most people feel it's nothing to do that and some feel it's just like saying **Hello** but how in the world is **Hey** and **Hello** the same? I don't get.🤷🏻♀️
When I told someone how rude I think it is to say that to people especially if the receiver is older than the one saying it, the person thought I was just being ridiculous and to him, it really meant nothing to say hey.
He isn't the first person to react that way anyway.
I can even remember of recent when I reacted not so well when someone said **hey** to me, the person was like;
***Why do Nigerians feel that telling someone HEY is an insult?***
I was perplexed, and I was like, how does he know if it really isn't what it is or feels like?
I will say it over and over again that its rude to tell people **Hey** especially if they are older than you.
Forget what or how Nigerians think, forget what other countries like the Americans think or do.
You can say we shouldn't impose our beliefs on others and people's perspectives differ, I am not disputing that fact.
But guess what?, although I don't like it neither do I think it's proper but somehow I am always flabbergasted by this one person who made me not really dislike the word **hey** like I used to. It's not as if I am a party to it but his way of addressing the word and usage is just so spectacular.
HEY With A Difference
For days now, there is this one, but the handsome-looking young man who has been addressing and calling my attention with the **hey** word I dislike with all sincerity lol.
At first, I thought its because he didn't know my name, so I thought it was okay.
I walked past him one day and he said **hey!** to me since he didn't know what I was called, the only way he could get me to turn and atop was for him to say hey.
I looked back to be sure I wasn't the one he was trying to stop but surprisingly I was actually the one so I stopped and he said what he wanted to say and finally asked for my name, which I told him.
But after that day, he did the same thing again when we bumped into each other, again I thought, oh well, maybe he has forgotten my name, and yeah I was right, he did forget my name, I mean I see no reason why he shouldn't have :) unless he had something up his sleeve which he didn't I guess 🤷🏻♀️
This went on as many times as I can remember until it finally dawned on me that he isn't just saying **hey** because he might have forgotten my name or something but because maybe that's just how he loves to call my attention.
And for one reason I liked the way he calls my attention with the **hey** word.
He makes it sound more like a romantic request to get someone's attention than it is a command like most of our people here do.
To be very frank, I honestly think if the majority of people most especially my country people uses the right tone when seeking someone's attention or addressing or getting them with the **hey** word, I believe it wouldn't really soundrudee like I think it is.
How we present things matter a lot sometimes. The same thing or words we use with people that appear like an insult to them might not be the same for another depending on the manner of approach and usage.
We perceive things differently and we act upon what we know differently too.
We can't always feel the same way, think or reason the same way, act the same way or respond to things the same way.
How we all address matters is different.
But whatever may be the case, we should be mindful and careful how we use most words and let our speeches be of good conduct.
***PS: I still don't like the hey word being thrown at me but if it's coming from the dark handsome dude, I wouldn't mind because his way of saying the hey word is quite romantic*** 🤭😊

Take Off Your Luggage
Personally, I love backpacks. I am not a big fan of handbags because I don't know how to carry them or how to go about with handbags. I tend to admire those ladies with handbags but it's not just something I love or can comfortably walk around with.
I have more backpacks than is needed. Each time I go to the market, I feel like buying more and more just because I love them and not just because of my love for them but also because they are comfortable and easy to go around with.
Recently when I use it more often with lots of loads in it I realized that it can also be a big pain in the ass.
Frequent hanging of the backpack makes my shoulders and arms hurt like crazy especially if the loads inside are heavy and unbearable, it usually feels like my shoulders wanna pull off.
Though I endure the pains most times but it's not always funny, most especially during the days I am extremely tired.
Some day I ask for help to put off the backpack and the person helps me with it. The pains and aches are killing.
Take Off Your Luggage
The thing is I brought that backpack illustration to let us know that when our luggage gets too heavy for us and unbearable too that we can always take it off or pull it out.
There is no law or rules that say you can't do that.
But here is the thing, your luggage might not necessarily be the physical luggage or even backpack we know.
It can be your worries, your friends, etc.
So many things can act in the place of luggage in your life.
And it won't always come as an easy one that wouldn't cause you pains.
And we know that heavy loads slow us down. We can't go far if we have our backpack stuck full of different kinds of things, it will be heavy and the weight will likely slow us down no matter what.
What's causing you pains? What's slowing you down in life?
What are those things that surround you and encamp about you but only to pose as a hindrance to you?
What luggage are you carrying that is causing you all the breakdown and slowness? Take them off.
You know some people have become the heavy luggage we need to take off to avoid the slowdown and even the aches.
Some friends are, some even family members are, close acquaintances, etc.
Even your attitude and character can be the heavy luggage you need to put off.
It takes one bad character or attitude to ruin one's life.
How is your character and attitude towards the people around you? If it is not a good one, then it's high time to take it off.
Let's all learn how to be able to decipher which luggage is slowing us down or which one is causing us pain. And when we find out, I hope that we do take it off our entire being.
Thank you guys for reading my thoughts today. Until next time; see you guys.

Are You The Jealous Type? ~ What If I Am?
Don't give me that dirty looks😒 I am being very frank here.
What is mine is mine and what is yours is yours.
I don't want what is yours and I don't expect you to want what is mine to the extent of even dragging it with me.
I might not really be the type that allows **jealousy** to consume but that doesn't also mean I don't feel that way most times.
**Are You The Jealous Type?**
Who isn't? Or better still, who wouldn't be?
Although I trained and disciplined myself in such a way that I don't give a grab about what you own or who you are.
The truth is even if I am jealous of something especially people's attention over another, I still wouldn't say or do a thing, I mean there isn't really any point or need for that. But this doesn't in any way mean I will still be the same, I doubt.
I see some people fighting over someone simply because of jealousy and stuff, I mean cut the crab, who does that these days?
If you are a guy or lady and someone is flirting with your partner, let them do it in peace, why bother yourself over nothing?
Or let's take for example you have a friend and you have been doing all you can to your best ability may be in a particular field, yet this your friend isn't noticing or appreciating your efforts but he or she keeps praising another person and the worst of all is that he or she rubs it to your face.
I mean this same person you desire appraisal from isn't giving it to you but rather giving it to another person and telling you all about it.
If you were that friend, tell me wouldn't you feel bad? Or even jealous? But even if you say you wouldn't be jealous, your mind and heart will never be the same again especially if it's a repeated thing.
Personally, I have a friend that used to do that, I didn't mind then because it wasn't my concern but it got to a point that I started feeling bad whenever the friend brings up a topic about the other person and keeps praising and all.
I mean I am here but I have never gotten such praises and I don't even think if someone else gets to know my struggle and efforts from that friend too yet I on this other side was listening to and receiving all the news and praises about another person.
I kept mute and kept on receiving everything rubbed on my face. I never said anything and I wouldn't. I stopped bringing up conversations that will include the other party because I know how it usually ends and it's not something I like.
It kept on for a while until I finally decided that there was no point feeling bad or jealous over another.
If a friend can't see your little efforts and dim it fit for encouragement then such a friend doesn't even deserve your jealousness.
**Feel Good About Yourself Even When Others Don't Appreciate You**
Like it or leave it, people will always esteem others higher than you no matter if you are their friends or not so why do you want to kill yourself over minute issues of life.
If your partner praises other people yet the least encouragement for you isn't there, then you might have to rethink or reconsider whatever is going on between you two.
No sensible person should make his or her partner feel any less worthy or whatsoever.
Don't make them feel jealous or be dragging words of praise from you with someone else.
If you can't make them feel good about themselves then stop making them feel their worst by constantly rubbing shits on their faces.
Appreciate your partners
Encourage your friends
One way or the other, individually we contribute to the way people feel and how they act out is what we have made of them.
By the way, guys, what's your take on this?
Are you the jealous type? How do you cope with it? And what do you think should be done to avoid feeling that way over something or someone. Thanks in advance for sharing your ideas and opinion, I appreciate you, and I appreciate your presence.

Social Distancing? ~ A Fairy Tale
It was yet another day to waste money on surgical masks without actually putting them to good use.
I mean of what use is a mask when it's not being maximized for its work? when there is no social distance or any kind of safety precautions taken?
In my country, sorry to say, our masks have become more of a uniform or part of our uniform than it is used as one of the safety precautions
Whether it's our office wear, schoolwear, or church wear. It appears more as part of our uniform than it is put to its proper use.
Here we are still very carefree about the pandemic. We believe that it is not really among us or that it even exists (although for some people). We trust the next party so much that we don't even care about our health. We don't care or mind if the next person seated or standing by us is diagnosed with covid. I mean who cares? No one and I don't think any sensible person would accept that he or she is a covid patient or whatsoever.
Guess what happened today in school? Due to the terrible dust around the school environment, one of the lecturers suddenly developed a disturbing cough while the class was going on. We all chorused; **Sorry Sir** and then the next thing the man said was **use your masks** and this was when everyone became conscious and rushed to use their masks lol.
The man laughed because of the reaction of the students that he had to tell them that he wasn't a Covid patient and that telling us to use our masks doesn't mean he is one or that doesn't make him one.
But do you know the next thing he said?;
**Even if he was to be a covid patient, do we think he would tell us?**
Of course, no one would love to admit that they are covid patient. So most people used their faces in the class after they were being told to but I? No way! I mean there was no one I was going to inconvenience myself with that thing. It's always hot even in the few seconds or minutes of wearing it.
We weren't even close to the lecture even if anything were to happen, by the way, so don't be scared, we are safe, or better still, we were safe especially for that particular class.
Non-social Distancing?
But do you know what wasn't safe? It's the non-social distancing observed in the laboratory today.
For crying out loud, it's a practical laboratory, and we shouldn't be expecting this number of people.
We got more than 200 students in a particular laboratory and it was hell if you must ask me.
Some were with their masks but some weren't. And within such a confined laboratory, you know what that means right or what you are in for.
But all the same, thank you for the little rain that fell and made the whole laboratory less stuffy.
It's funny how you can't even sight the lecture from this crowd. I mean even the students weren't seeing the lecturer again, less more you.
Most of the students climbed to a certain point and degree just so that they too can see and understand what the lecturer was saying and many did this to the detriment of their health.
This is no social distancing, I repeat! It looks nothing like social distancing. The clustering here was too much and it wasn't funny at all.
I was like, **what's this, for the love of God, what are we preventing when buying and wearing masks without even observing the social distancing**
Is this what a learning environment should be or look like?
No, it isn't, but this is what we got and we have nothing to do about it
Welcome to my country, where social distance is just a fairy tale.
And the educational/academic sector has made it very inconvenient for students to learn peacefully.
But do we have any right to complain? Of course NO, who born you? Like them born you well to complain? (Sorry for the use of pidgin for those who might not get a grip of what I mean :)...)
All the same, we keep striving and someday we will tell the story.

Problem Solved Or Problem Created?
There is one particular lecturer I tend to enjoy his classes the most. Apart from teaching mathematics very well to one's understanding, one of the reasons why I like his classes is because he breaks or pauses in between the lectures to feed us with issues of life generally and even ones outside the four walls of a school or educational sector.
He knows how to balance everything and gives us some advice a father should give his children.
One good day, while he was teaching and explaining. He paused and started saying some reasonable things, mentioning the challenges young people have and how the rich and poor operate and all.
He also made mention of students and how they live their lives but amidst everything, do you know what caught my attention? It was the last statement or point he made which was;
**When you die, people will remember you for two things. They will remember you either for the problems you have been able to solve or the ones you have created.**
He used an illustration of a student who saw a need or lack and decided to solve the problem.
He also spoke of Mark Zuckerberg who saw the need and problem people had, his colleagues had and he decided to solve that problem. Which is what the world is enjoying and celebrating today.
And he concluded that **people will remember us for either the problem we solved or the one we created**
What he said made a lot of sense and it got me thinking.
It is almost the same as when people remember someone for the good they have done but when one error or mistake sets in they all forget about the good side of the person and start seeing and talking about their bad side.
And if such a person should exit the world, a good percent will only remember him for the wrong things while a few will remember his or her good side.
**Problem You Solved And Problem You Created**
Which will people remember you for? The problems you have solved or the ones you have created?
Are you planning to solve a problem that will last for generations to come or rather you wanna create a problem for them?
Either way, people will always remember you for one thing either good or bad.
If you were given a chance to choose which you want, I am sure the majority will go for problem-solving but how many would love to discipline themselves, discover those problems lacking in their respective places, tackle those problems, and begin to find solutions for them one after the other?
How many would love to go the extra mile, go through the struggles just to fix something, to solve or fix a particular problem?
Think ahead!
We know that it is very easy to create a problem for others than solving it. In nature, one can easily create a problem consciously or unconsciously. Whether we know know that we have done that or not, problems are always created and it is also left for people to find ways to solve them.
I hope you will choose to belong to the group that solves problems and not creates them.
Choose to be a problem solver and be remembered for that and not the opposite.
Yes! Make a wise choice today!
This has been settling in my draft but I really didn't have the time to submit it. I am glad that I could do that today and it seems to be the perfect day for me to do just that.
By the way, how are you guys doing? I believe everyone out here is safe and sound and also basking in the love of God.
Do have an already ending blissful weekend and Happy Lord's Day to you all.
I will love to see you all next time and until then, stay safe and be intentional about your choices in life.

Wrong Labels
Ever been labeled something you aren't?
Maybe a liar, thief, a fraudster, a criminal, a prostitute, etc?
You know in our society today, it is very easy and common for people to label people wrongly.
It's mostly common here in my country when a lady is not decently dressed, she is called a prostitute and the same goes for a guy who isn't properly dressed being called a cultist, and those who dress weirdly or awkwardly are said to be fraudsters, what we commonly call **Yahoo Boys** over here.
Sure! It is said that we are addressed by the way we dress because the truth is that we can't wrongly label bread as candies, neither can we label mango as pineapple. It's not possible.
But why then do we give wrong labels when it comes to humans.
No one loves to be wrongly judged or labeled but then humans are prone to this behavior.
That's why our world today is becoming worst by the day instead of being better.
Would you be happy to be called a prostitute simply because you decided to wear a short skirt and sleeveless blouse, with painted nails and a wig?
No matter how indecent you may look, it doesn't give anyone any right to label you wrongly because who knows, you really might not be what they think or believe you to be.
Labeled A Criminal
Five days ago, I decided to go to the market with my friend to buy a few things.
We moved from one part of the market to the other looking for what we wanted to buy and getting them one after the other.
We got to a particular bookshop, so I told my friend she should pause and let me get a few books.
I went into the bookshop to get the books I needed only for me to find two ladies already in the frontage of the bookshop also trying to buy as well.
Not too long after my arrival, one of the ladies said she was done with her orders and asked the seller to calculate her bills and give her the balance. The young man told the lady that she didn't give him any money.
I wasn't there when it all started and so I can't tell if she actually did or not.
The bookseller told the woman that she didn't give him any money and even showed her proof that he had no money with him or whatsoever. He told her that the only person he got money from was the other lady who was still standing there without requesting anything just yet.
The bookseller talked to the point of making it look like the lady was a thief and a liar. He indirectly labeled her a criminal. I don't know who the mistake was from and who was telling the truth among the two of them but the words and responses of the bookseller made the woman tear up.
She asked why she would lie about not giving the man money. She said that she has never done such a thing that the guy was accusing her of and she would never in her life do it.
She wanted to return the things she bought or ordered for and leave saying that **God should be the judge** but the owner of the bookshop came out to intervene and told the accused lady not to be angry that we are all humans and we do make mistakes.
She apologized on behalf of the young guy and also told the lady that the guy wasn't calling her a criminal, but that what he was saying is that he can't remember getting money from her so he can't tell if she actually gave him the money or not.
The woman was crying and wiping her tears. For me, that simple action shows she was wrongly judged and already labeled a criminal.
Two days ago the exact thing happened in school. I don't know why I always witness this and two times in a week already lol.
I and my schoolmates were starving so we decided to visit the school canteen to get some snacks. I picked a few things and my friends did as well, we paid the owner and we stood aside while munching down our snacks and waiting for the other groups to finish. We were in a group of three.
Our group finished buying and the second group as well. But when it got to the third group, after picking the snacks they wanted and asking for their balance, the seller told them that they haven't given him any money to request for the balance. The girls told him they have and that they only had a thousand naira with them, they even had to search and empty their bags to show the seller that they had nothing on them.
This didn't move him in any way, he was still adamant about not giving them balance still insisting that they didn't give him money.
One of the girls became angry and didn't want to drag the whole matter any longer, so she dropped everything she picked and asked her friends to do the same. She wanted to leave and let the money go but when the seller saw this, he decided to give them their balance and asked them to pick their snacks.
Do you know the funny thing the seller said? He indirectly labeled or called those girls criminals and this is what he said; **No money ever lasts**
And if you wanna look deeply into what that sentence means, it is that ***whatever is being stolen will one day finish***
I looked at the man and felt bad for the girls. I mean it's not their fault that his shop is very busy with no form of assistant and so why should they be wrongly labeled for his mistake?
The canteen is always very busy with many people picking snacks and trying to pay for them at the same time, so it can happen that those girls actually gave him the money but he forgot who among all his buyers did.
Labeling people wrongly is bad and no one ever loves such or will be happy with such
I can't even stand people doing that to me. It hurts like hell and even if you wanna prove your innocence it might not make any meaning to the accusers if it doesn't suit their view of you.
Welcome to a world where humans are most labeled wrongly.
People's personalities also cause wrong labels.
One's attitude and character also determine what people will label them, either good or bad, negative or positive.
Everyone seems to have their labels for every person they meet.
Be sure you aren't among those that label people wrongly.

This is in response to @JonicaBradley weekly prompts
I tried having fun with this as one of the rules says but there really isn't anything fun about wrong labels😢

Online Vs Offline
Hey guys! It's your girl again. Today seems to be a little dull and the rain has been very disturbing since in the early morning.
It hindered and stopped so many people and their activities for the day but all the same, everything will go well I believe
By the way, I trust you guys are doing great so far.
I happen to have a few discussions with my sister and in the cause of the discussion, she mentioned something about online dating.
I know a lot of us were opportune to meet the people we know today online, while for some the case is different.
We have also heard stories of people who met online or on any social site and today they are together, some becoming good business associates, some great life partners/companions, friends, and acquaintances, etc.
But the big question is, how do you view online dating or relationships?.
Like in a case that two people grow fond of each other and they become emotionally attached such that they agree to go into a relationship but both staying far away from each other. It can happen between two different countries, two different states, and even cities and towns.
It isn't always planned and when it happens no one can help of course because no one tells the heart what to do and what not to do
Online Vs Offline Relationships
Some prefer offline dating to online dating while some see nothing wrong with being in an intimate relationship with someone online.
But whatever the case may be, I think the majority will choose offline dating over online because of so many factors and implications.
The issues associated with online dating seems to be higher than that of offline relationships, but notwithstanding both has their advantage and disadvantages.
Certain things favor online relationships while some are in favor of offline relationships.
My emphasis lies on the **Online Dating or Relationships**.
In such relationships, trust, and loyalty is a major factor and determiner for a lasting relationship.
Where the two are lacking then such a relationship will either be shaky or will likely crash depending on the things that will later arise.
And if I am to make my choice, I prefer offline relationships for many reasons. They say **distance makes the heart grow fonder**, well in my case I don't believe it and even if it were to be, it's to a certain percent.
One is likely to forget or move on with his or her life especially if they are miles apart.
Two lovers staying apart or far away from each other isn't the ideal thing for me. I don't welcome it except for special occasions or for specific assignments that both are to be apart from each other for a while.
So guys what's your take on online vs offline dating or relationships?
Which do you rather prefer and what's are your reasons for your choices.
***Still your baby girl ;)***

Goodbye To Unforeseen Circumstances ~ It's A Beautiful Day
When people speak of **unforeseen circumstances** I gues s this was it.
I mean it doesn't have to be such a terrible thing to be unforeseen circumstances.
I got a fair share of such yesterday but I don't even wanna talk about it or dwell on it.
I love letting bygone be bygone especially for most cases as such.
I didn't exactly have my schedules planned out well and everything just crashed on me and I couldn't help it, I mean I am human too and I am bound to make mistakes too but I am hoping it would be my first and last. I may not always have all the time in the world and I just realized I had to better manage the little seconds in every 24 hours of my time, especially now if I want to meet up with any target or goals planned out for my life.
It's Gonna Be A Beautiful Day
Whether the devil likes it or not, it's a beautiful day for me, and God in his indefinite mercy will make it to be so just as I have proclaimed.
I know I had a terrible day yesterday but I am not hoping or even praying and wishing it to ever repeat itself and I want nothing closed to **unforeseen circumstances** to repeat itself for any reason at all no matter what.
I prefer the circumstances to be seen and known to know how best to tackle them.
Yesterday is already gone but here we are today. Every day is an opportunity to pick up from where we stopped and forge ahead doing the things we couldn't do with lots of energy and motivation.
Words of affirmation and positive proclamation are a great way to always start your day.
Each new day comes with its own blessing and even curse, but it's left for us to make our choices and by doing so, we need to proclaim and accept them whether it be blessing or curse.
So for this day, I choose blessing over the curse. My day is gonna be filled with lots of positive things. There will be no form of negativity because I have no such in my agenda for today.
I will accomplish everything I set my mind on this day.
I will achieve every goal and plan for the day.
I won't slack, I won't be weary because I know I can do all things through Christ that strengthens and keeps me.
It's yet another day for more of every good thing to locate me.
I pray for the strength and the grace to sail through and not break down (for many strong reasons)
I can't tell the end of today from the beginning but I know that it gonna be a good one for me and I say an Amen to that.
You see, a day will come and go just like that and you will be wondering what actually happened, like what you could achieve or make out of that day but you find nothing.
Like I always say, try to live by choices and not by chances.
Because if you don't, you might likely be wasting every day of your life doing nothing tangible.
Live intentionally and make the most out of your time and your days.
You may not always have the right motivation you want and remember that every second of your time spent or wasted is gone and gone for good and there is nothing you will do to recover those lost moments.
You can't change anything about the past but you can start now to get a hold of your future by taking charge and control over the affairs of your life today and doing everything possible to make sure that you use your time very well and manage it well to accommodate every aspect of your life that needs your attention.
Have you ever been caught up with so much that it's as if you can't breathe well?
You wanna do everything within your power to get some things done but it just cannot happen? No matter how hard you try?
Well, the truth is that this happens a lot, and most times it's because of poor planning or time management.
I will ask, how well do you manage your time?
We already know so much about time and how well we can manage it, that I am 99% sure isn't it?
A lot of us if we are asked, will chorus that we do know how well we manage our time, and some may actually not be lying.
But in the same way, a lot of us don't know how to do that and we always end up wasting, abusing or misusing our time.
And because of this most of the unforeseen things that happen to us, happen because of mostly how well we managed our time.
I don't wanna start giving tips on how to better manage your time well, I believe we already have a lot of such articles and we are just one click away from finding that out if we truly wanna know for some of us.
For today, amidst everything I have said, I want to remind us to always make positive proclamations, prepare ourselves for whatever life will present to us.
And also learn to manage our time well because all these will help us tackle the issues of unforeseen circumstances.
***Still your baby girl ;)***
***To my faithful readers and wonderful sponsors, my heart goes out to you guys. Thank you for making my journey here a fun-filled and exciting one. Thanks for trusting and supporting my work too. I pray that God bless you all real good :)***
