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


Virtual hugs fam 🤗🤗🤗

Can I live your life for you??

What happens when a lot of people are pointing out the right way you ought to live for you? The moment someone says "it's done this way" and another tell you "that way would be better" All you put yourself to is simply FRUSTRATION. Generally speaking, we love acceptance as human beings. We want to do things that would make people proudly have our backs and say yes, that's my friend or that's my child. The moment we crave for people's acceptance, we tend to be vulnerable by giving ears to what people around us say so that when they tell us they don't like what we've done, we just at times gullibly adjust that thing even when we knew we had done nothing wrong. This act is referred to as PEOPLE- PLEASING.  It happens when we are so conscious of what people might say about us so as not to break ties with friends or loved ones.  When people around us notice this vulnerability, they would be delighted in tossing us to and fro like they do to coins ...

New Year Resolution 📝

This resolution of a thing sef, it's always somehow. Many of us pledge to do some things or even vow to stop some things at the beginning of a year but eventually we get incapacitated. How numerous resolution get discarded by February baffles me alot sha. Another worst thing about this is that some people even forget they made a resolution as regards a particular thing. They remember at the close of the year and promise themselves they would turn it over to the incoming year and the cycle goes on and on. Why do we find it hard to stick by our resolutions? According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, resolution may mean : A strong will, determination. A statement of intent, a vow. Some people, after so many failed resolutions have given up, they want to go with the flow of ''anything goes.'' The idea isn't that bad, it is however good when we map out how we want the new year to be. Whether to inculcate new things or thrash stuff that ain't ideal. Do...

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. ...
