The Perfect Start To An Average Day

Good morning guys!!! okay so this is my first ever post on this blog, I'm really eager to post something this morning so I have decided to share with you, a random thought that popped into my head while I was still lazying in bed. Ever wondered how you could be the director of your own day? I mean being able to maintain a perfect handle on everything you do in a day, from the moment you wake up till you go to bed. I'm sure if we all had our way, we'd have a whole lot of things happen differently during the course of the day. Well here's my take! I think it all boils down to the precedence you set for yourself as soon as you wake up. Your reaction to the first 15 minutes of your day dictates to a large extent, how you're going to handle the rest of it. It's amazing how much control you could have simply by thinking, acting and speaking POSITIVELY. Wake up in the morning and tell yourself that your day is perfect and from that moment, all you have to worry about is coming up with more positive thoughts to guide you through the day. I know it all sounds like bullsh*t at first but it's definitely worth a try. As you go out today, try to convince yourself that your day isn't as stressful or as hectic as you think. see the positive angle to all of it and you'll accomplish you tasks with further more ease. Look at me for instance; All night I was thinking of the perfect write up for my first post but with a lot less stress and a great deal of positive thinking, I've achieved my goal. so do what you have to... play that song that you can't get enough of and sing to it, say a prayer of gratitude, roll up a blunt, whatever it takes... Get yourself in the best possible mood and bulldoze right through the next 24 hours... I know I am. :)
Thank you for reading!

The New Nigerian

Something remarkable is happening in Nigeria. There is a new generation of pan Nigerians emerging onto the scene. A group of young, driven, hopeful and hardworking dreamers, developers, and leaders who see beyond the limitations and drawbacks of political and socio-economic issues and are buying into a vision of a new world, a vision which is exploding at an exponential rate worldwide. A dream so big that it overshadows with ease, decades past of mistakes and offers incredible opportunities for the future and indeed the very present. This group of people is not from Mars. They are amongst you and your friends. As a matter of fact, many of them have been dismissed by you and your friends as pipe dreamers or whatever else you might choose to call them. Call them what you will but they are here to stay and believe it, so are their dreams. I attended a conference recently where the majority of attendees were young entrepreneurs between the ages of 19 and 35. These folks and...

Spare Me Your Outrage

Whenever I see a post that starts with "Pray for so and so", it irks me. The reason is not that I am against prayers or insensitive to the plight of the suffering, but more because I find it nauseating that people only feel compelled to pray for one place or the other only when the hype calls for it. So it is 2017 and slaves are still being sold. I see people getting on their phones and going "I cannot believe this is happening in 2017". We all want to make trendy posts about the stuff like we only realised the existence of this issue yesterday and like nobody sold slaves in the years preceding 2017. Have you ever wondered where the diamonds and jewellery you are so in love with comes from? How many of us can claim to really care about this stuff? Because slavery is not an end in itself but rather a means to something that does not seem to outrage people enough; CHEAP LABOUR! Please spare me your outrage and stop pretending that your being outraged on Instag...

The Significance of Buhari's Appearance

We are at yet another trying period for our democracy. As speculations intensify about Mr President's health, Nigerians cannot help but wonder what the very near future holds for our nation. As someone put it to me recently "we are back to playing politics". Indeed it's fair to say that in the past year and half or so, governance rather than politics has dominated our national polity. Opinions may vary about Mr President's policies and actions or inaction, but one thing we can agree on is that for the most part Nigerians have kept the focus of the debate on governance, much unlike the previous administration whose years were dominated by political hullabaloos and grand corruption culminating in the 2015 General elections. Mr President's health challenges have in recent times rekindled a familiar and bitter taste of political bickering over who should replace him come 2019. The rumour mills have been running on overdrive, talks of a resignation and even certa...
