Serendipity 馃き



Do you know this part of 9ice's song? "...mo w'owo lo, mo pade ola at'iyi lona..." Being literarily translated as "on  my way to earn a living, I met with affluence." Don't mind my translation though. Lol


The moment you're making efforts to get a particular thing and them boom another pleasant thing happens in the way is known as Serendipity.


I had found out that particular word through a serendipitous discovery actually. It happened that I was scrolling through my WhatsApp contacts to see more people I could advertise my fabrics business to and fortunately I came across the word SERENDIPITY on someone's status. I was awestruck at first thinking I should be able to provide a nearest in meaning but no idea. I immediately checked it up in the dictionary and it added to my list of vocabulary since then.


According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, Serendipity is the fact of something interesting or pleasant happening by chance. It is an unsought, unintended, and/or unexpected, but fortunate, discovery and/or learning experience that happens by accident.


Take for instance someone that had been job hunting for a long time and is almost at the verge of giving up, then decided to take the last trial by going to submit his resum茅 at an organization. All his plan is to get employed and live a good life. Let's now say, he got to meet his future partner in that same company. You know that wife of a thing was never planned or intended. 


Or let's say someone that only went to the mall get some items then ran into a friend that introduced a legitimate business to him. It is finding what you're not necessarily looking for.


It could also be likened to someone that's online to research a particular concept and then sees a pop-up of a scholarship or grant, clicks on it, fills in the required information and she's enlisted.


There are so many serendipitous situations in our lives. We don't prepare for them to happen, they just happen by chance and people start describing us as fortunate "that guy is just lucky sha, he only did few months internship with them and they've already asked him to head their branch office in South Africa." Hmmmm


So from now, when you're trying to describe events as such, you can say "that random serendipity made me see my dad after 12years of failed attempt" "I'm so delighted at this serendipitous happenings" etc.


How about sharing with me some of your serendipitous discovery?

Pseudointellectual 馃

It's good to have you here again馃槏 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.  ...

Parenting 馃應

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 ...

King of Thieves Agesink贸l茅 馃幀

Let me start with the slogan "Agesink贸l茅 kan omo re pupo - kuo beun na" So sorry if you don't understand yoruba or haven't seen the movie yet. I'll help by saying Agesink贸l茅 is literally translated as "He who rides horse to rob houses." Lol King of Thieves is an epic story of betrayal that revolves round a prince who was deprived of the throne by the king makers. He was set up as a thief by those he has solely trusted and faced the brutal punishment of death. In a quest for vengeance, he reincarnated and troubled the town violently by carting away goods even with no regards for human life. The movie is indeed a complete package from the casts to the props, the costume, the language, the directing, the clean production and post production.  You know, I just can't be wait to be told after seeing the paparazzi from the premiere and the thriller, mehn.... I became so much inquisitive as to what exactly the content was and can say I truly got the value fo...
