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...

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...

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...
