Lockdown to Stay up

Hiyaaaa 👋
Happy lockdown to you but incase you aren't really lockdown as you ought to be, happy unlockdown then😀.

I don't know if you are as baffled as I am right now about the spread of COVID-19. Well, the amount of fear still can't be compared to the amount of hope I have for survival. I calm myself with "Fear not, We'll be fine." Please do likewise 😁

I won't lie to you the number of confirmed cases in Nigeria has risen far beyond the updates released.

Did you ask me how? OK, there are some set of people who have been noticing the symptoms or they might even be asymptomatic but deep down they know they are in for it, due to the society we are in where these people know they can be quickly stigmatized, they tend to keep mute and just act as if nothing is wrong with them thereby causing harm to whosoever come in contact with them. You can agree with me now right?

How I wish all hands could be on deck against the spread of this COVID-19. Can we all realize we ain't stuck at home but safe, I mean very safe.

We all complain of no money, no food, like there's really nothing but mind you, some people at this time are building houses, buying cars, celebrating achievements of all sorts. Should I even say it's not as bad as we take it to be.

I was passing through a popular market on a market day, I was awed by the crowd in the market I was like I thought these people said there was no money, how come we can't even differentiate between the road and the market simply because everywhere was jam-packed with the buyers outnumbering sellers.

Nonetheless, we still need money and enough parliatives from the government. I know some families still can't feed even before this time. These are the real vulnerables that the government should look out for and not to be partial in their disbursement.

This period shouldn't be used for activities that wouldn't UPGRADE us though, it's not about going about to savage in all social media, most especially youths, let's be actively productive.

Add value to yourself by reading a book, taking a course, networking online, learning a skill and other activities that would pull you up. After the pandemic, "the kingdom of workforce will suffer violence" to say that only the digitally upgraded ones will be sustained.

Finally,  l would implore us to stay safe by staying at home, that's the only way to curtail the spread so we can all resume our various activities on time.

If it is COMPULSORY to go out, wear a face mask, be socially distant, avoid handshakes and hugs, avoid touching of face, wash your hands under running water with soap or use hand sanitizer, eat well cooked nourishing foods and lastly maintain a good hygiene.

This time shall definitely pass.

Social distancing won't allow me hug you so please take this kiss on your screen.💋

Can I live your life for you??

What happens when a lot of people are pointing out the right way you ought to live for you? The moment someone says "it's done this way" and another tell you "that way would be better" All you put yourself to is simply FRUSTRATION. Generally speaking, we love acceptance as human beings. We want to do things that would make people proudly have our backs and say yes, that's my friend or that's my child. The moment we crave for people's acceptance, we tend to be vulnerable by giving ears to what people around us say so that when they tell us they don't like what we've done, we just at times gullibly adjust that thing even when we knew we had done nothing wrong. This act is referred to as PEOPLE- PLEASING.  It happens when we are so conscious of what people might say about us so as not to break ties with friends or loved ones.  When people around us notice this vulnerability, they would be delighted in tossing us to and fro like they do to coins ...

New Year Resolution 📝

This resolution of a thing sef, it's always somehow. Many of us pledge to do some things or even vow to stop some things at the beginning of a year but eventually we get incapacitated. How numerous resolution get discarded by February baffles me alot sha. Another worst thing about this is that some people even forget they made a resolution as regards a particular thing. They remember at the close of the year and promise themselves they would turn it over to the incoming year and the cycle goes on and on. Why do we find it hard to stick by our resolutions? According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, resolution may mean : A strong will, determination. A statement of intent, a vow. Some people, after so many failed resolutions have given up, they want to go with the flow of ''anything goes.'' The idea isn't that bad, it is however good when we map out how we want the new year to be. Whether to inculcate new things or thrash stuff that ain't ideal. Do...

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it. ...
