Twenty-Twenty🆗


Our over-hyped 2020 is almost gone, in about 72 hours, we would all be updating #StraightOutta2020.


With all the odds that came with 2020, 

With the way things were affected,

With complaints here and there,

Did the year really feel your presence?


I know we all had excuses. '' I wish I could have done this and that but covid19 spoilt my plans...'' and so on.


For you to still be alive reading this, it can only be God and I felicitate with you.  If you were to do a review of your life this year, did you merely exist or live?


Well, these two English words are used wrongly by some people, they believe they are living when in the real sense they are existing.


Okay, wait, apart from people recognising you by name, complexion, voice or appearance, do they know you by good works?


Existence is a state of being, to be alive, to fill a vacuum, to occupy a space. Living is different, it's being alive to have an impact. 


This year, we know you're online, you view status, you comment and like pictures, you upload hot pictures of you and funny memes you can relate with. These and lot more you did and still do at your convenience, bothered about yourself alone. That's existence! Everyone knows you're still alive but you've added no value to others.


It's not a bad idea when you are so focused on you but it's worse if you never seem bothered about making a difference in other people's life.


Existence is not God's purpose for our lives. He didn't send us here on earth and expects us back there without having a positive imprint. It would be a waste of God's resources.


Even if you had just existed in 2020, I believe you know now that we all are called to live. Live an impactful life.


You know the cliché 'Mind your business'? Naaaa, not every time.


Adding value isn't compulsorily monetary, it could be by checking up on people, giving a listening ear, a word of advice to an erring person, helping children or elderly ones cross the road, sharing knowledge with people and many other ways.


Living is selfless. Existence is self-centered. To live is to love others as oneself but to exist is to love oneself only. To live is to better oneself and impact others while existence is survival.


It's left to you to decide if you want to exist or live.


Happy new year in advance


Virtual hugs🤗🤗🤗

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. ...
