REALITY

Everyone, from time to time portrays strength; the "i dont care attitude". No one wants to be seen as weak and vulnerable. For the descendants of Adam, it's on a higher level.
Your thin arms and monstrous head is not in vogue. Actually they have never been. Build muscles and exhaust subscriptions in order to appease the "gods" will you? Or else you are not even considered the Alpha male.
Not to sound faux deep here, but the following is reality.

Everywhere, depressive news and a cloudy atmosphere. A bottle of the "sniping" agent is rarely enough. And this is far away from a lack of empathy.
What is in the life itself? You want to make all the money then after? We all have thoughts and daily struggles. Pressures from all sides which are not really helping in any way. We all have the different ways we carry our own baggage.

Discussing with Oluwapelumi, and it's concluding on the fact that we are fast losing the very essence of relationships. Even the very platonic ones. Most times, we do forget the very factor that made us flow towards each other. We are so quick to make use of scissors, blade, and what have you. Cutting people off is the fad now.
We all have our struggles, and no one has a specific manual on how the ephemeral life of man should be lived.

Each man to his tent. Bamz, the bald man from the oily lands of Ondo would always say. Each man for himself, God for all.
Same goes for Tomi, my classy rep. She is always quick to say we should move on quickly from our worries. If we move on that fast, guess they won't be called worries after all. But this life has held all of us, excluding no one, no matter how highly placed.
True to her, why dwell on those worries when we can owe them to  one life living them and still living that same life to the fullest. Looking towards the future with hope shall we?

JOF would always say own up to your weakness. Accept your faults, Its always the first step in forming long lasting ties. Strive and continue to live on no matter. Never compare your joys and troubles alike. You sure cannot have all in equal proportions.
Continue to work hard, and celebrate every win no matter how small. And remember it is also okay to let it all out once in a while. Do not bottle anything up, cry if you have to. As a wise man said, it clears up your eye and makes you see clearly.

KYGO sang "stars don't disappear they keep blazing, even when the night is over" Always remember you are a star and never allow anyone make you feel lesser than yourself.
 what do we say to uncertainty and the oceanic waves of sadness and depression, certainly not today. As i have chosen to be very happy.

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...

We Made Our Bed; Now It is Time To Sleep On It

Photo by Wesley Tingey on Unsplash Nigeria is a very hilarious place. Anything and anybody can drive conversations. The attention span is small, and just anything moves us around here. You do not even have to do anything special; anything delivering the smallest form of excitement moves us. Someone said our politicians must be thanking their stars, that they have to deal with this particular brand of humans. I totally agree because it is hilarious at this point.  The other day, the discussion was on the tribes with the best soups; shortly after, the conversation moved to some supernatural beings responsible for how small-scale businesses, retail outlets, etc., fail in the country. I mean, while other countries are busy innovating, finding newer ways to make their lives easier, and holding their elected leaders accountable, soups, magic, VDM, and Bobrisky vs. the House of Representatives are some of the issues we were so fixated on.  And yes, the notoriously popular 'VeryDarkM...

We Might Need To Tell Ourselves Some Truths

 I have vivid recollections of some periods in my childhood. I am sure there were moments in yours that you could also remember. I remember Uncle Ade back then in primary school. The dude must have just graduated from University then and had to make do as a primary school teacher for some kids.  I remember his face, height, and how he sometimes spoke to us in chilled tones and always added random facts about just anything to his lessons. I remember how he once asked us what our favourite cities were, and as you would expect, we mentioned the places where our homes were, faraway Lagos, and some other cities we must have heard in passing from our parents.  When it was Uncle Ade's turn to tell us what his favourite city in the world was, he mentioned the city of Dublin. He spoke about how much he wanted to explore the city, its food, and all the experiences he wanted to have in it.  As I write this piece, I check out Dublin (On Google) and marvel at how much the city mu...
