Become

Hey guys. In light or this recent admission issue,I just have a few words to say. I won't call them words of encouragement,just a little enlightenment. You see,there's something Socrates said. "Man,know thyself. The unexamined life is not worth living". Its really not about what you study or where you are. Thing is,as long as you can put your thinking faculty to good use,you can be whoever you want to be. Who you think you are and what you think your capabilities are is all a matter of your mindset. If you believe you can do something then you will do it. If you haven't gotten the admission yet or you didn't get the course you want,don't let that deter you. Learning is not all about the books,it's about how you can apply the books. No matter where you are,as long as you are able to learn how to apply yourself to what you are doing and broaden your horizon,you will make it. Don't stick to your everyday learning,pick up a skill,get involved in act...

Diary Of A Phatbulous Girl; Fat Is a Word, Not a Disease

They call her amina the hippo,amina the whale,the mountain that can't move,rolling stone,etc. Enough with the name calling! No one ever deserves to go through such an ordeal,even if they've been mean. Calling her names won't make her change,it only makes you a bad person. Plato once said "a just man should not make an unjust man worse,otherwise he too will become an unjust man". Eventually amina may commit suicide all because her "size" doesn't fit into this world. Who are you to make the rules? What makes you better than her? No life is ever perfect. There's always one imperfection so you have no right to judge another person. Like the bible says,"remove the log in your eyes before you remove the speck in another person's eyes" Don't use a person's body weight to judge them or damage their self esteem. You have no idea what caused it,what they've gone through or what they're going through.You cant tell what goes th...

Overcoming jealousy

There's really no satisfaction. We always want that one thing we can't have. It's a natural phenomenon right? Well that's not where the problem lies. It becomes a problem when you start having negative thoughts about the person you're jealous of. Yes we can't help envying someone but there is a serene feeling of peace when you are contented with what you have and who you are. Not all that glitters is gold. The person you envy for what they have,may have emotional issues deep within that even you can't handle. Ever heard of the term,"what is pleasurable isn't always desirable"? Believe me..it's real. Just so you know,you might have dozens of qualities that the individual you envy doesn't have and wishes to have. So why be jealous? My advice? Just do you. You're the best at being who you are. Don't let jealousy rule your life. Its an instinctive drive that can ruin your life and the people around you. Don't try to drag someon...

On Forgiveness

Image
Forgiving the person that hurt you ....that's for your peace of mind. By not forgiving the person,you're giving them power over you. You're saying " yes even though you hurt me,I'm always thinking of you,you control my life" . Do you really want that? I know I don't. Forgive that person and move on with your life,that makes you the bigger person. If God could forgive you each time you sin and beg for forgiveness, who are you to turn down your fellow man? What is so unique about you? Why hold a grudge in your heart?. Your ability to forgive the person that hurt you is enough to teach that person a lesson. Vengeance is not yours to give;let God take the wheel. Forgiving the one who hurt you frees your heart. I know of a woman who was able to forgive a man who slaughtered her family before her eyes so what exactly is your problem? Of course,no problem is too small. Don't turn suicidal because someone hurt you. No problem is worth losing your life over....

The Conflict Of Being You;Little Words Of Advice

Image
Just when you think you've made that choice ... life throws you a curve ball . You see,life is not a bed of roses. If things start getting too easy,you should be worried. Nothing good ever comes easily. Ever sat down to wonder why every one wants to study medicine,law,mass communication, journalism, accounting, business admin istration and the likes of it ? I dare you to ask them why. "Its all about the prestige",they say. Even when we are given the freedom to choose,we still find a way to mess it up. The first option on everyone's mind is hardly what makes them happy. Some even pick what they think makes them happy,just because it is factually right and popular. Just a voice following a crowd without knowing it. Others even make choices beca use they've seen it make others happy and feel it would work out for them as well . Who ever stops to think that one man's food is another man's poison ?. What is yo...

Her error generated mixed reactions from Nigerians on social media as some expected someone of her status to get such simple arithmetic right. While some Nigerians viewed her error as an indication of incompetence, others came to her defence, suggesting her error was a pointer to the fact that no one was beyond making mistakes.
