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

 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. As we celebrate International Women's Day, let's remember the importance of accelerating action towards gender equality ¹. 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.

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...
