Freedom of Choice

I was just on Twitter minding my own business and airing my views on a recently trending topic. Yes, you guessed right - the 'Transfiguration' of Bruce Jenner. I said that it is a disgrace to men and women alike. I also said that his action after more than 5 decades of being alive, is a perfect example of what emasculation can result to. I stand by my words because I believe that what he did is unnatural. 
Some people disagree. They are of the opinion that there is nothing unnatural about a sex change. Someone even went as far as to compare the situation to barrenness. All I can say is that barrenness like many natural defects is something that should be solved because it is natural to procreate. Barrenness is a a challenge that causes families sadness and disappointment. A sex change is a whole other thing. It is a person being u satisfied with the way they are born and taking the matter into their surgeon's hand so that they can wear a bra instead of boxers or boxers instead of panties, as the case may be.
Imagine a scenario. You walk into a bar, you meet this gorgeous looking person and after a few drinks you end up in their bed that night. Only for you to wake up in the morning and the person says "hey BTW, FYI I used to be a man/woman lol" My god!  would you not feel betrayed or violated even? I think it falls in the same ball park as carrying an STD and keeping it till after sex. That is something people need to know before they dip their hands or other body parts into your cookie jar or swing from your dangling pole ( whatever that means). 
On a serious note though, While we must respect people's choices, we should not forget that man's imperfections do not spare his choices. Choices both right and wrong were given to us by God (or whoever/ whatever you think gives life) but there has to be a limit even to our choices. I do not think that "freedom of choice" is a good enough reason for some actions. Some things should still be questioned and people should reserve their right and choice to disagree with things which they feel are unnatural. To Bruce Jenner, it is my very very personal opinion that his decision to do this stems from his prolonged subjection to the feminine lifestyle of the kardashian women. That is just my opinion and it could be very very ignorant but I am entitled to it. That is the true beauty of choice.

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 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 ...
