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🤗🤗🤗

Something big🔘

We all get happy when we hear our share is bigger than someone else's. Naturally as humans, we would always want more just like Oliver Twist. Shall I say we even hate to share things equally among others? We are most likely to negotiate with others to make them see reasons why we should have more of the normal share. Just like two people sharing the sum of #10,000, one may have to remind the other that he's older, whether he knows the person that gave them the money or maybe he worked more. So, I was eating pounded yam and egusi this afternoon (Well, I'm not willing to entertain any question about how I got the meal package sha). The meat was big and looks too gluttonous to be consumed but deep down I kind of like the fact that the meat was big. Most times, we want big things. Getting big pay, big contracts, big meats, big apartments even some guys like ''big and bang-bodied ladies.'' But wait, with all this big big stuff, what if someone gifted you a dress ...

Overcoming inferiority 🤳

  There are two sets of people reading this: those that have experienced my current state and those looking forward to it. Maybe I haven't said this but right now I'm blogging as a graduate. Yaaaay I'm not here to wail and narrate ordeals but you would agree with me the journey isn't bread and butter if you study in any of Nigeria's federal or state owned institutions. I want to believe that whoever has taken a step to pursue whether NCE, ND, HND, B.Sc/B.A/B.Ed/B.Agric/B.Tech, L.Lb or any other program in a tertiary institutions should be lauded indiscriminately. For someone like me, I would say it's the survival of the fittest. Almost weighed down and battling with inferiority complex among my friends in the university but at last I had to shake it off as in 'odeychi' Prior to this time, I mean about 5years ago during my ND, I always try to evade conversation that probe into where I school. I could remember how I would always lie to an admirer or any ot...

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. ...
