LOVE AT THIS STAGE

Beautiful lovely damsel, her name was Mary.
She fell in love with a charming lad; kelvin
Kelvin then said to her, let's have fun and be merry.
But she said to him, I want to be a virgin up until the moment I marry.
He retorted you'd be the only one I'd he loving.
So why wait until we marry.
Mary succumbed after much of compelling.
But the next day kelvin was with sally.
- kola the fluid.
Pen name for adeosun adekola alade

Nigerians!! In These Tough Times, We Need To Shed Our Individualism

This is my first article for the year, and I apologize for starting on this note. My first writing for the year should have started pleasantly. One of those extolling 'Self-Love' and the many talks of how you should be gentler in the new year, be more proactive, take it easy, forgive yourself, and all of that, but since we are not 'Greeing for anybody this year,' I am starting my year this way.  But then again, you should trust me because I have something like that in my drafts. Still, while scrolling through Twitter last night, I came across a user's comment saying, ' Our growth as Nigerians lies in us ditching our individualism as a society and embracing communal living.  That struck a chord, and just like that, I knew I had something to write about. However, before I get into all of that writing, let me offer you some context.  This takes me back to the very first time I stepped into Lagos. It was more like a rude awakening. I have never had to battle with tr...

Nigeria Operates A Feudal System of Government. We Need To Stop Pretending This is A Democracy

Photo by David Rotimi on Unsplash Oftentimes, you hear Nigerians saying, 'Oh, Politics is a dirty game,' 'They are all liars, ' 'Politicians are so insincere,' etc. When I hear these statements, I often retort and insinuate in these conversations that we have never been interested in politics. We find ourselves today mainly due to our apathy towards the whole process. So, while this has rang true for decades, I now have a new theory.  We, as citizens, are to blame for everything you see happening in the Nigerian political space today. Nigeria has little to no relationship between the state and its citizens. Why would there be any? The citizens 'toil the ground' and do everything they can to make something out of the dire circumstances they have been dealt with, so naturally, that disconnect is created, and the resulting apathy is very intentional.  Now, this apathy and this pronounced disconnect allow a select few to get into the nation's politics b...

  BRIEF INSIGHTS INTO MENTAL HEALTH During my undergrad days as a student of Psychology I never really could comprehend the full grasp of mental health and the role it plays on the daily lives of people. I can say one of the reasons for this was that my courses were solely theoretical in nature, not much of practical, one of the many flaws of the educational system being run in the institution I attended but this isn’t our focus in this write-up. When I started coming in contact with Abnormal Psychology and started learning about mental disorders, I was fascinated and intrigued by the wide array of mental disorders present in our world today. I was aware of mental illness and what I thought it looked like judging from the mentally ill people that parade our locality but getting to work in a mental hospital made me understand that mental illness is more than that and entails a whole lot more than the physical appearance. In our world today mental health is no longer a new topi...
