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 🤗🤗🤗

Pseudointellectual 🤓

It's good to have you here again😍 You are loved. Long time no vocabulary. I know scholars here may not really see those words as new nonetheless I'll still share cos what? I get coconut head. Lol So, many of us have actually been here at some points in our life especially when we're trying to really get along in a conversation and present ourselves as supposedly "intelligent."  Hmmm, I could still remember one of the embarrassing moments I had some years back while they were talking about network marketing like GNLD, oriflame, longrich, etc I was like practically linking it to telecommunication networks and everyone was like "no now, seems you're not getting what we are saying..." chai....my feet kinda dragged o Although, you may have tried to do that and not be caught that you're really ignorant of the subject matter. Such person that pretends to be so much knowledgeable when in actual sense he or she isn't is called a PSEUDOINTELLECTUAL.  ...

Blood Sisters 🎬

 Hey fam, Have you seen Blood sisters series on Netflix? I know the Nollywood critics would be like why the hype but calm down, it's high time we started embracing what our actors are creating so we can give both positive and negative honest criticisms that would help them do better. So I didn't want to write anything on this movie before y'all think that is it just movie review everytime. A friend also watched the movie and she just kept saying what she felt about the movie and then I just asked her to give it a shot. She hesitated at first but penned something down anyway. Kindly read up fam (Credit - AKADI MAYOWA ) Have you ever heard of the term bestie? you have one or seen duo call each other that? set awon partners in crime🤣🤣, bestie no be for mouth o, it's two friends that so much understand each other (as in they can read each other like a book) and can do anything I mean everything just to have each other's back, this is the case of Kemi and Sarah in Bloo...

Parenting 👪

It's been some few weeks that I dropped by and alot has happened outside here. From abusive marriage to Chrisland girl trend and now bestiality (blog for another day) The latter seems to be the most disheartening of all the stories. Like WTF! Maybe we would just have to pick one after the other but lemme first ask how do you do? And yeah, April is almost gone too in 2022, how have you been holding up ? especially if you're reading this from Nigeria (Top to botum) Lol  Nawa o! So many things have spoilt in this generation already and we don't even know how perverse the generation coming after this would look like. Parenting seems to beh the cheapest business to run now as there's little to no supervision required. I think I updated on my WhatsApp status sometimes ago how a mother approached me that her daughter got 126 in UTME and she would like me to use everything in my capacity to see that she's admitted into my school even after telling her the cut-off is 150. I ...
