My 2021 Highlights

This post is segmented into  Lessons and  Highlights .  And the latter will provide hyperlinks to different articles on the subject. 2021 LESSONS… "It is only a fool that lives life without taking its lessons". I believe that everything that hits you, good or bad, leaves you with something. So h ere are my 21 takeaways from the year 2021. Some of them are patterns I adopted for myself and recommend, whilst some are lessons: Be patient! Live in the moment! Focus on yourself and be kind to yourself! Be at your best, don’t try to shrink yourself! Think less; “ Overthinking nor fit solve problems” ( Nigerian Pidgin English ) . Communicate; be expressive! Lower your expectations of others! See situations as an opportunity to learn; also learn from others! You don’t know everything and you can’t! Genuinely admit your flaws and mistakes! Not everyone is worth lowering your standards for! Don’t judge yourself based on other people's opinions! Have firm boundaries and walk away w...

IN MY SHOES

Your current situation has a very intelligent way of influencing you. If you’re in a very critical condition, prolly sick or hoping for something, the people and the surrounding you keep finding yourself can either make you get better or worse! Okay lemme explain... I had a very terrible experience years ago when I suffered from swollen legs, dunno what happened, my legs were swelling,  took drugs and stuff but seemed futile. Anytime I went out, the class of people I saw were people whose legs were amputated, crawling, or crippled and this sent a negative message to my mind. I was like ‘O God, so this is how I’m gonna loose my legs” ?I said to myself ‘I AM FINISHED’! No Hope!t This feeling almost crippled my mind cos it kept recurring, even in the market, I saw them everywhere. Twas like the devil’s tactics to paralyze my mindset negatively. But I devised a technic to overcome them such that whenever those thoughts came, or whenever I saw people with critical situatio...

Gun vs Knife Culture

By -
Image
  Unlike the USA, there aren’t many guns in the UK, and people barely have access to it. A colleague was narrating how she was almost robbed in her neighborhood, and when I asked what weapon the criminal used she said it was a knife. Knife crime is on the rise in many parts of London and across the UK. That’s why it is quite difficult to walk into a shop in the UK to buy a knife. Firstly, not many shops sell knives and the ones that sell will ask for some sort of proof or ID before selling, thereby making them quite difficult to access.  Obviously, in America, there’s a high record of gun violence. Someone can literally walk into a shop and get a gun, from what I heard, it is that easy. And so, between the UK and the US, I really can’t say one is better as per knife or gun violence because both of them are capable of sending people to their graves. In one community in London, I witnessed a knife crime incident where a secondary school kid was stabbed right in front of his scho...

NOTES ON FEMINISM

By -
Image
  Feminism is one subject that comes with a lot of different baggage, and over time I’ve seen the sprout of different facets of feminism. In Nigeria, which I know of, there’s an amount of negativity attached to the title “feminist” or the word “feminism”, both from self-acclaimed feminists and from society.  And this is because the word feminism translates to different things for different people who identify with this title. A feminist can be: 1. A woman who fancies and promotes the idea that women are in no way less than men, hence should have equal opportunities and be treated fairly in society. 2.  A single and heartbroken lady who therefore thinks all “men are scum”. 3.  An aggrieved/hurt lady who takes out her annoyance by blasting men under the ideology of feminism. (But automatically changes her ideas of men when she finally falls in love with one helplessly).  4.  A lady who doesn’t fancy the idea of marriage, or has attained a certain age where sh...

MISSING

  Something horrible happened to me recently. Turns out it is one of my 2021 highlights  Quite a lengthy read tho... I was all packed to leave for Brighton from London. Had one piece of luggage and a backpack, with my purse hanging in front of me.  Got on the bus, then on a train and then landed at the National rail station to board to Brighton. It would take 8mins for the train to arrive so I sat on a waiting chair where a young man was already seated, greeted him with a smile and sat beside him, with my backpack on the middle seat separating us.  Train arrived and I jumped on it, sat on a seat beside the toilet but decided to move to another cos of how close it was to the toilet. My earphones were plugged in throughout most of the journey. One & half hours into the journey we arrived at Brighton and people were already stood up waiting to alight, I noticed my backpack was missing.😳🤯 Scurried over and under my seat, see if it was there, but no, it wasn’t. Left...

HUMAN HAIR 1

(P.S: I've gat a message for you with this picture but first first, lemme throwback with this episode while you wait for the next) Remember that year na, old school days which began in Army day Secondary School, Effurun Delta State. Strictly on low cut, the screening dey start from assembly ground, das where you see teachers evoking hidden scissors ✂️ from their pockets to disgracefully shave students hair. They go roaming the assembly ground digging their fingers into the depths of our hair, as a matter of fact if your hair passes a certain level, be sure to have a free shave all the way.  Supposing the 'free shave' was a decent one, wahala for nor dey, but the opposite was the case. Once you fall prey and the scissors lands on your head no amount of prayer can save you. The teacher leaves a straight route like the one leading from Warri to Ijebu Ode,  with potholes to spice it up . Chai some teachers wicked! He does it in a way that no manner of amendment can...

Nigeria’s President

By -

  The reason why many Nigerian youths seem to be garnering a massive movement for the Presidential aspirant Peter Obi is not that they are guaranteed that he’ll be the “savior”, but because youths are tired of recycling the same old self-conceited egocentric politicians as leaders.  They want something new, something different, something original! And they don’t care who he is or where he’s from! And my prayer is that their votes will count this time around!  Over the years, I’ve always been a backbencher in matters associated with politics, but when you hear prospective leaders of your country using sentences like “it is my turn to rule”, you just become provoked and triggered to speak up!  Perhaps in the minds of these leaders, they see the country as a business venture that family members take turns to run. This is absolutely unacceptable! Nigeria is not a monarchy that operates on a turn-by-turn basis.  “I put the outgoing President in that position, therefo...

HUMAN HAIR 2

“ROUND CUT” as it was called, was my favorite style of haircut and a token of #50 will get you a neat haircut back then but now, I bet that token has trippled . The barbershop was within the neighborhood so he became our customer. Something happened one day that drew attention. I've always been very observant from Adam hence I paid attention to what might seem meaningless to others. On several occasion i noticed that after shaving a number of customers, the shop owner would

TRAGIC STORY OF HOW MOM, DAD AND SON DIED 9DAYS AFTER EACH OTHER!!!

By -

MY ADEKUNLE SILVER!!! Making this write up has been very difficult for me. I can recall his post on the 29th of December 2018, in fact just last month here o, he posted and expressed an overwhelming sadness about the death of his beloved mother just before the year came to a halt. On the 8th of this month January 2019, he made another heart breaking post about the demise of his dad who died four days after his Mom’s burial, as he couldn’t stand the loss of his wife. Amidst this great demise he expressed thanks to God and in his words he said; “Am sure both of you are happy together wherever you are”. A shocking news indeed! Just this afternoon as I strolled around Facebook news feed I saw some goddamn writing from one, two or three persons about your shocking demise! Jesus Christ! Are these people crazy? What the hell are they talking about?  I quickly took a 100meters race to your wall and saw for myself a number of such eulogistic writes. They said you’re...
