Dangers Of Engaging Into Early Romantic Relationship

Image
 Relationships are fun to be and should be healthy but just as every other thing, There's time for everything and getting into a romantic relationship at a very young age has numerous dangers. Relationship can have both positive and negative effects on individuals especially during adolescent and young adult. The following are potential dangers of early relationship  1.   Lack Of Self Control: Many adolescent especially the ones that just emerged puberty tends to have a rise in need and want of the opposite sex (always wanting to be around). With the rise in regulation of certain hormones like Testosterone, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Estrogen, it becomes so demanding and at this point there's this THIN line between self control & self loss. Many got it all lost due to lack of parental guidance, fear of the unknown and peer group influence and pressure. Adolescent at the stage, steps into sexual urge and desire which is natural and normal. Now engaging in an early relation...

The Harsh Reality Of Living In Nigeria

Image
As I sit down to write this post, I am filled with a mix of emotions – frustration, sadness, and concern. The state of our economy, the struggles of everyday life, and the seeming indifference of those in power have left me wondering if there’s any hope for a better tomorrow. The Value of Money Take, for instance, the value of our currency. The prices of basic necessities like rice, beans, and garri have skyrocketed, leaving many to wonder how they’ll make ends meet. And don’t even get me started on the cost of data plans. It’s as if the telecom companies are taking advantage of our desperation to stay connected. I look at the #1000 note in my hand, and I am reminded of the harsh reality of our economy and how light weighted our currency is.This amount, which was once considered a decent sum, can barely buy a few essentials today. A spaghetti, a Derica, or half a mudu of rice or beans – all these staples are now beyond the reach of many Nigerians. Even a loaf of bread, which was once a...

Beyond The Heartache

Image
 The love, dating and relationship world is inherently complicated. this minute you're okay but the next minute is uncertain. I will keep kicking against bad relationships regardless of the type, it's hard to forget , experience keep crawling in at every interval especially the bad/hurtful ones.  I thought this experiences will make me a better person but it's not. Involuntarily I react to unnecessary things because of it and at the end I begin to regret..... Each time I realized how I was bad treated, tears keep rolling down my eyes, I was never a priority but deep in my head I thought was even with everything happening but stuck headed me remained there but you won't blame me, I find it difficult to walk away more like I was chained. My heart is broken and I still ask if I will love like before, freely but now I have to tell myself the truth. I love without emotions, emotions only come at interval and no matter how hard it comes I find a way to tame it. I don't wa...

 " HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN'S DAY TO EVERY WOMAN OUT THERE! To my dear self,I celebrate you today and always. Your journey has been marked by hurdles, but your strength and resilience have led to victorious moments. Living in a society where women's lives are often dictated by societal norms, family expectations, and even self-imposed limitations can be challenging. However, as a woman, you've shown that you're capable of thriving in the face of adversity. Your adaptability, love, and compassion inspire those around you. Being a woman is indeed a beautiful gift, and I'm grateful for the unique experiences and perspectives that come with it.

We must continue to challenge biases, stereotypes, and discriminatory practices that hinder women's progress. By supporting one another and advocating for change, we can create a more inclus...

Globetrotter: What Most Youths See NYSC As

Image
The National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) is a compulsory one-year program for graduates of universities and higher institutions in Nigeria. Established by General Gowon in 1973, immediately after the civil war that its scar still lives on many Nigerians, the program aims to unite the country by bringing together people from different ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds.   A Good Program with Room for Improvement In theory, the program is excellent, and its objectives are commendable. However, the reality is that many corps members, including myself, have had a different experience. The program has become a source of frustration and disappointment for many young Nigerians.   The Challenges We Face One of the significant challenges corps members face is the meager monthly allowance of ₦33,000, which barely lasts a week. Many of us struggle to make ends meet, and some even go into debt before the next allowance arrives, at some point the little savings I make end up saving...

Love Beyond Materialism: My Journey To Redefining Relationships

Image
  I'm Guilty: Why I Need to Rethink My Relationship Expectations As I sit here reflecting on my relationship expectations, I'm forced to confront some uncomfortable truths. I've always believed that a partner should be able to provide for me, to shower me with gifts and attention. But the reality is, I'm not exactly in a position to be making demands. I'm broke, just like the guys I claim to be too good for   The Hypocrisy of My Expectations is   I've always said that I couldn't date a broke guy, that I needed someone who could take care of me which is not a bad idea but the question is, WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO BETTER YOURSELF? But when I really think about it, that's not only unfair, it's also unrealistic. I'm not exactly rolling in dough myself, so why should I expect someone else to be?  In our days today, relationships, both romantic and non-romantic are seen as a full time job where you must get everything at ease without working for it. Just ...

Amore Amour: Love in different minds.

Image
The Power of Real Love In a world where heartbreak and disappointment can be overwhelming, it's easy to lose faith in love. However, I firmly believe in the transformative power of real love.   What is Real Love? For me, love is not just a feeling, but a state of being. It's the sense of being fully yourself, feeling confident and motivated to grow. Real love is not transactional; it's not about what you can gain or lose. It's about finding someone who accepts and supports you for who you are. The Misconception of Love Many people believe that love requires material possessions or financial security. While these things can certainly make life more comfortable, they are not the foundation of real love. Love is about connection, understanding, and mutual growth.   Can Love Exist Without Meeting Material Needs? This is a common question, and one that I'd like to address. While it's true that our basic needs must be met, real love is not solely dependent on material...

Federal Government Needs To Do Better: A Letter To My Dear Country

Image
 The Federal Government should focus on meaningful reforms rather than recycling old ideas. Today, we're not discussing the rebranding of NEPA to PHCN or debating bleaching creams and tariff plans. I often wonder what our government thinks its citizens are. They jump from one irrelevant issue to another. Take, for instance, the Labour Congress. They're a group of individuals easily silenced with minor incentives. Now, the government is proposing to merge Junior Secondary School (JSS) and Senior Secondary School (SSS) into a single 12-year education system before tertiary education. This isn't a new concept; it's been the norm, except for some private schools that accelerate their students' progress without following the proper sequence. A student in primary school writes the common entrance examination and proceeds to JSS1. The same student then moves from JSS3 to SS1 and writes the SSCE exams in SS2. Consequently, they enter university with inadequate knowledge. Cu...

The Walls We Build: Breaking Free From Self-Imposed Traps

Image
Sometimes, the walls that trap us are the ones we draw ourselves. I recall a time when I felt suffocated, stuck in a never-ending cycle of negativity. I was holding onto something that I should have let go of long ago, but somehow, it still lingered, haunting me like a ghost. Every so often, I'd find myself relating to it, sucked back into the vortex of self-pity and despair. I'd beat myself up over every little thing, and it was exhausting. My self-worth was taking a beating, and it was affecting every aspect of my life. Every decision I made, every interaction I had, seemed to trigger this toxic cycle. But here's the thing: our minds are far more powerful than we give them credit for. They can be our greatest allies or our worst enemies. Our minds can enslave us or set us free. They can fill us with joy or consume us with sadness. They can bring us peace or chaos. The key is to recognize the power of our minds and take control of them. We must learn to guide our thoughts,...

The Universe Aligns: A Love Letter

Image
All this while, I never doubted what we have. The peace and serenity I get from our relationship is overwhelming. My instincts have never failed me, and I trust them fully because I'm in great alignment with them. That's why I'm holding on, even when doubts creep into my head. I still hold strong, and I wonder why. Whatever this is, I pray it's for our goodwill. I never thought you cheated; you never gave me a reason to think so. Or am I just non-reactive to it? No, I hate sharing my personal belongings. But whatever you've done is working. Your sense of responsibility, acceptance, and willingness to put in the effort have made a significant difference. With you, I've forgotten – or maybe even regret – the four years of turbulence I endured. If I'm not careful, you'll be a dream come true, because moments with you are worth it. For now, I have no regrets, and I pray you won't give me any. I appreciate the alpha-male qualities you possess. With you, I...
