Starting Afresh

 It's been almost 10 years of performing the daunting task of having a blog. I started up in 2012 while looking up different avenues of making money online. I came across so many opportunities, but the one which caught my attention was starting up a blog. Eventually, I could not continue with the task as I was faced with many life challenges. This thing called "adulthood" comes with its challenges, as I encountered many obstacles to actualizing my plans. After many fruitless attempts at consistent blogging, I unknowingly yielded to distraction.


However, I am glad for the "Covid-19" year, as the lock-down period taught us many lessons on working remotely. It gave me the courage to quit everything that took me far from happiness and be who I want to be. It gave me an opportunity to rediscover purpose and retrace my steps. I have been able to come up with many amazing ideas of getting fulfilled. Come along with me on this journey as I unravel them gradually. It will be a rewarding journey as I introduce you to abundant opportunities in this era and the next.

Take the Bull by the Horns

 It's been a while since my last post. That doesn't mean I don't look forward to coming on here to post. A lot has happened since my last post, but that's water under the bridge now. I have a lot to gist you about, but we will take it one topic at a time. Today's post is about facing your challenges with all the stamina you have. As a kid, I heard the tale of how a scorpion stung a church member and she almost died,. That instilled fear of scorpions in me. I had also heard tales of how people at various places were stung by snakes. At a point in my life, when I was faced with living with snakes and scorpions, I had to face my worst nightmare which was killing them. Initially, I watched people kill them. Afterward, I mastered the art of killing them, as well as many other creepy crawlies. Despite being born into the hairdressing business, I always had the 'can't do" belief that there was no way I could make a nice hairstyle on anyone. Today, I overcame t...

Do it for your children

My father once told me the tale of how as an aeronautical engineer someone came to him and offered to make him a millionaire if he could hide cocaine in the aircraft for them to transport it elsewhere. Despite the fact that as an engineer, he knew a lot of secret parts of the aircraft that no one will ever locate, he declined the offer. Assuming he was as greedy as a lot of boys in this generation, he would have done it, but he thought of the implications….   What would become of his children if he was caught, arrested, and prosecuted? What would happen to the family name? Is it the right thing to do? Despite not being born again at the time, he rejected the offer because he didn’t want that kind of money. How many people can do that today?   It is an open secret that many have become rich as a result of claiming entitlements of others, sitting on the sweat of many to “claim” to be among the high and mighty in society. I wonder if it ever occurs to them that it’s the s...

Nigerian Armed Forces Remembrance Day

15th January each year is set aside to remember fallen and standing heroes. To be honest, the word "hero" is not enough to qualify these "angels" who sign their lives for our safety. To become a soldier, they had to sign that the government would not be held responsible if they lose their lives in the cause of rendering selfless service to the nation. The major bone of contention is that it takes a lot of guts and determination to dedicate one's life to serving a country that seemingly doesn't care about its citizens; a country that is not even ready to lift a finger to save a captive. So for these soldiers, they are on their own, yet they have a "die-hard spirit". Another set of people worth celebrating are their spouses because the nature of the job implies a lot of absence on the part of the soldier. Thus, most times, their spouses feel like single parents who play the roles of father and mother. In conclusion, no amount is too much to appreciat...
