Gratitude🙏



The heat had been terrible the past weeks which always made us stay out late to enjoy the fresh breeze.


I entered my room to pick my satin bonnet hung on the wall before bumping into the bed for the night and what I saw was scorpion just above it (on the ceiling). Chai, I almost lost momentum. Was filled with mixed feelings cos I kept thanking God I could see it before it escaped and at the time thinking of ways to kill it.


People in Eruwa know scorpion isn't new here, there's a tendency you'll see one in your room within a space of 6months and a year.


Well, I really do not know how to describe where it was but it looked so scary that if it had fallen, it would have been on my bonnet, inside the fabrics I've not yet sold or probably crawled to my bed side. Yeeeeh


The dry body I brought inside the room as a result of the excess breeze outside began to turn moist and then sweats rolled down in couple of seconds. I can't use broom cos there were things on the ground that I can't afford the scorpion to enter and the other fear was it not dieing and falling into a place that would be hard to find as it was at night.


All I did was mutter "God I need wisdom" and alas God helped me to carry a keg, picked a pair of my sneakers after weighing so many footwears to see the one that's more heavy, I climbed it almost trembling but I killed it in just a strike. If you see the way I pressed it down and it bursted, you will fear me. Lol


So what I'm particular about at the beginning of this third month is the victory I had. Please never see anything as usual or too normal to be thankful for. You see ehn, some people's eyes have seen "shege" on stuff very little compared to what you experienced. How I didn't end up being stung by a scorpion the second time even though I had once been bitten by it in January 2017 is a big victory for me.


You see, many things came to my mind after I was able to kill it. Like what if it was already on my satin bonnet or just somewhere dangerous?


That was just one of the 'zillion' ways God shows up and protect us from evil just as a line in the Lord's prayer reads.


I will urge you never go take God's guidance for granted. He does protects us in diverse ways and we've got to really thank Him for that always.


Biko, help me thank God for safety

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.
