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...

 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.

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...
