Be the Best!

There is no ideal world or situation.


There is hardly any time in which all factors and parameters are exactly the way they should be.


There is no way to be completely happy every time, all the way and in every aspect unless you are maybe a fairy or you live in NeverLand or an Indian movie 💝


Life can be tough and we sometimes have to make tough decisions in un-ideal situations but that does not detract from the immense opportunity we have to take ordinarily adverse situations and transform them into situations which can add value to ourselves and those around us.


As much as it may not seem or feel that way, the power still lies with us. We have the power to choose to be the best, to become the ideal we desire, to create an ideal world in which anything is possible. 


We have the power to turn mourning to dancing, grief to joy. We have the choice to smile in the face of adversity and rest in the knowledge that though we may be hard-pressed on every side, but we are not crushed; we may be perplexed, but not in despair; we may suffer  persecution, but are not forsaken; we may be struck down, but not destroyed!


Nothing is ever as bad as it seems and the future is much brighter than we expect. How do I know? I just do! 😇


So go ahead and create the reality you seek, the power of life and death lies in your tongue!

Essay: How I spent my Easter Holiday.

My Easter holiday this year started on the eve of Good Friday after a brief stint at the office. I went shopping for some equipments with a friend (a gadget freak) and went home to test them out. Saturday was exhausting! I went shopping for grocerries, provisions and household appliances, saw a boring movie in the cinemas and got home exhausted. Sunday was fun, went to church, rearranged my kitchen, watched a movie (Cinema style, surround sound, big screen, snacks and drinks) and lazed around the house. Monday, I tried out a chinese recipe, tested my new grill (Yum! Yum!!). Did some reading and watched a movie half way - fell asleep before it was over. And thats how I spent my Easter Holiday! How did you spend yours?

How to Spot a Jerkazoid

This post is specifically for women and young ladies but for any men who happen to be reading, you might find some useful information which may help a friend or sister. Jerkazoid is a word you wont find in any dictionary at least not yet, but it is a word I created to describe guys who are extremely talented at being jerks, so much so that it seems like a super power or mutant ability. Spotting a Jerkazoid is an essential step for any female who is dating or planning to date. It is the first step to dodging the bullet of an abusive relationship.   Just so we are on the same page, in my books and a lot of other books, an abusive relationship, is one in which the man physically and/or psychologically hurts or seeks to hurt a woman. Unfortunately, our culture as Africans generally and Nigerians specifically, condones a number of things and downplays abuse in relationships but that doesn't change the fact that what is wrong is wrong regardless of what culture says.
