Outgrow bad habits 😏


Knock knock

Is anyone here?

I'm very ashamed of myself getting more active on social media and leaving my blog to grow weed😟 but I honestly would not want September to just go like that without dropping by.


I hope you all are fine? Even though the stress that is stressing me is not from this planet. Lol. Well, my penultimate semester is gone. Yaaaay💃


Hmmmm, so this thing I want to talk about is almost very general. Can you remember that moment you are being corrected to do something right and you are like "leave me o, that's how I am" or "that's how we are in my family." That's not how you are, you've only chosen to repudiate corrections meant to better you.


So, someone I look up to was actually having a conversation with her mentees where she pointed out that issue as a sign of immaturity and yes, it is.


Please let's not confuse things o, there are certain things we do that we have the audacity to reply "that's just me" For instance, someone known for always dressing formal that was now advised to start wearing some sort of casual indecent dressing may say "thank you, but I'm always comfortable like this" politely.


In this case, the decline deals with our values that we can't sabotage for any reason and it's quite understandable but a bad habit is the concern right now.


I met a lady sometimes ago who eats snacks and chews gum to give people nearby headache. As in.... You will just be frustrated if you're sitting close to her. This person is a very big girl o. It's been going on like that and people always excuse her to find another seat.


I got fed up one day and decided to advice her as woman to woman. I was sha praying she doesn't slap me or embarrass me. The next thing she would say is "Urrrrh, sister, that's how I do on my own o, even my mum has corrected me severally, she's already tired sef." Enipe??? Like she knew she had a bad habit but she has intentionally refused to grow out of it. Wehdone ma.


You see, many of us are like that. That is how we give excuses for our wrong or improper habits annoyingly at times. We should not keep hiding under the yoruba adage "mo'wa f'oniwa lonje ore j'ore" (to simply relate with one for who he or she is).


We all know some things we do that are not right. It could be interrupting conversations, bad standing, sitting or walking posture, constantly using fowl languages, eating manner, laziness, extravagant spendings and so much more. They've all got to stop.


Don't be too difficult to correct! Don't be stiff and rigid in what's not right.

Grow out of that bad attitude and choose to be better! Stop saying "that's how I am" to things you should probably have stopped or outgrown.


Virtual hugs FAM 🤗🤗🤗

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.
