Serendipity 🤭



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 resumé 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?


Virtual hugs FAM 🤗🤗🤗

Jedi-Jedi 💊

It seems as if jedijedi (chop yansh chop yansh) was propagated the past few weeks because I can count the number of people that had it. Even as I speak, it's still not fully flushed out of my system. Although there is no accurate english medical word for it, pile or hemorrhoids is widely known as jedijedi in Yoruba and it's caused by sweet or sugary things.  It's symptoms include itchy anus, abdominal and lower back pain, erectile dysfunction, diarrhoea, general body weakness and many more. You see ehn, whenever I see these salesman in car playing their herbal mixtures jingles for protruding anus, I was always laughing and making jest of those that could have found themselves in that particular health condition or probably thinking it only happens to children. I was shocked when I noticed my anus has protruded too. (this thing na turn by turn sha) Lol. I knew my sugar intake would immensely increase when I could no longer prepare food at home due to a tight schedule. I leav...

Sapiosexuality💯

The first time I came across the word ''sapiosexual'' was when I was reading a book about two years ago. You know what it means right? Sapiosexual means to be sexually attracted to intellectual or mental qualities, rather than to the physical body. Most times, we all crosscheck physical attributes before we consider someone's proposal.  We set qualifications within our hearts, most ladies say ''I want a tall handsome man with beards, six packs, dark or chocolate skin'' Some men say '' I want a lady with a  hourglass shape, beautiful, fair skin complexion, nice dentition and a moderate height.'' It's all good. But what happens when you meet someone with the aforementioned attributes, you ignited a conversation and you started hearing ''My names is Cynthia, they calling me CT babies, I enjoying eating spagerri and shicken'' Oh mine!😲 Did you hear that? Well, nobody would love to date a monkey. No matter how little, ...

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...
