The Good Use Of Social Media

Asides from the ever rising cases of tension headache, due to excessive screen time. I feel the need to highlight the use of social media is paramount. Firstly, before I kick-start the subject, I must acknowledge and agree that, social media definitely contributes to the depression, anxiety and immerse esteem issues. This is as a result of comparison of one’s

Feelings Over Actions

In the famous words of Maya Angelou, “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.” Firstly, in no relation to this post, I’d like to share that I am having visions! It may be something to be scared of but, I’m pretty excited

The Chemistry about knowing God

I don’t know how loud I can say this… God is not a difficult person. He doesn’t care about your outward look. He cares most about the content of your heart. Just as you would want to know a woman or a man you are interested in; same applies to knowing our creator. There must be an interest, and then

Closures: Transiting into acceptance

I feel free…completely free. From taking actual steps to love myself rightly, seeking therapy, learning, reading, socializing and just feeling alive. I didn’t realize that unconsciously, I had taken the first step of Closure; taking responsibility for myself. Before I continue, I would like to quote my favorite Nigerian Poet, Titilope Sonuga “On healing: the idea of closure is a

Artist: Dennis Mcgill I like that I now look forward to sharing my thoughts with you every Wednesday, as my mentor will famously say “consistency is key”.

Mind Edibles

What make up a human being are the mind, body and soul. Naturally, the human nature is insatiable, therefore the reason for hunger- in all ramifications.   Today I’m focusing on the mind, because it has what I call- the spinal power of the entirety of the human body.   According to the scriptures, without sounding religious, it’s important to

Can you really make me happy: Is happiness transferable?

These days, self-happiness is way too over exaggerated, that it’s becoming to sound a lot more like selfishness.   Disregard any abnormal interpretation, I’m explaining from the most humane side of me.    Writing this was solely triggered after I had experienced incessant promises and pledges of “I can make you happy”, “let me make you happy”. Which made me “really”

Feeding the right personality

Just as there are two sides of the coin, so do we have different sides to us. As an individual, we have varying personalities- in the sense that we constantly change, which is solely based on events that have happened to us and our surroundings. A classic illustration would be how you say, “You don’t want to see the other

Patience: A virtue… really?

Hi, this is an article on patience by the most impatient person in the world. Adding an extra year in age is almost like increasing my intolerance meter… sighs. This topic is also actually an assignment, which was given to me by my Sifu and I have slept too long on it. So I have done my assignment and I’m happy

The Act of Unlearning

Learning is a constant process. To be human and survive, the will to learn must be constant. Now learning requires unlearning, so you can relearn. Unlearning simply means mentally correcting knowledge; the best illustration would be how we have application upgrades, or better still how bills and rules are amended. Those are actual acts of unlearning, because it tweaks with
