JANUARY IN REVIEW

-


The good news is, in 2020, I'm pushing myself harder to do a lot of things I'll ordinarily feel so lazy to do. One of those is trying to read the bible every day. Truthfully, this is hard for me. But I got this app that lets me be on a daily/weekly/monthly plan covering a specific topic of the bible within a period. So, you get to choose the plan that speaks to your current situation and get courage from God's word.

For the past ten days, I've been studying on Wisdom for practical life. This app has helped me a lot, especially the times I forget to read, and it sends me a reminder. Oh wow! This thing called procrastination is dead and buried in my life. 😂😂😂

 January started with a slight disappointment, but as always, this slight disappointment would not define the rest of the year. I would not tear my hair out about it. We muuuve! 💪💪I'll probably share the gist sometime in the nearest future. I can't do that now, sha, since I'm still recuperating.


We thank God January ended as soon as we hoped. But why the rush really? People like us suffering from gerascophobia do not find it funny when the year runs so fast. 😬😬

So, I just finished reading I am Malala by Malala Yousoufzai, and then I realise that it is the little things we do that matters a great deal, not the big things we aspire to do. While it is good to aspire, require, and to inspire to walk in the moon, how memorable has your walk on earth been?

This is a prelude to my next blog post. In my next blog post, I'll share my opinions on religious extremism as deduced from Malala's book and personal experience. 


BTW, in my resolve to evolve (baddd lines😄😄) and try out new things, I'll be starting a podcast soon. And don't worry about reading long posts on my blog when you're tired. Trust me to bring you the vocal version of my blog posts. How you see am? Well, I'll be bringing my amateur audio editing skills to bear and show myself small kwanu. Anticipate! 

It has always been my pleasure to have you here.😍😍

Did You Know?

The United Nations sets out March 14th every year to celebrate World Kidney day. In Nigeria, it is estimated that 18,000 patients need dialysis yearly and about 25 million Nigerians have kidney failure . https://m.guardian.ng/news/25m-Nigerians-have-kidney-failure-says-nephrologists/  Did you know that for over a decade, the Aminu Kano teaching hospital has been into the business of giving patients with Kidney failure another chance of living through successful Kidney transplants. Not many persons or hospitals know about this. Just last year, a woman I know had kidney failure and the best the hospital could do was to place her on dialysis while advising the family to take her abroad for a transplant. When I came back home during Christmas and was told the cause of the death, I was very disappointed. Disappointed that a teaching hospital could not do a Kidney transplant and disappointed that I could have done something about it after all. I felt the regret in the eyes of the bere...

Quick Tips for Prospective Corp Members.

Dear prospective corp members, you are about to get into one of the most stressful weeks of your life. The next three weeks you are going to spend in camp would be one you would never forget in a hurry. Without trying to scare you, you should get ready for a strictly regimented and militarized lifestyle immediately you step into camp. Life on camp is similar to life in a military regime. Did I just say that? First, if you are the type that wakes up very late in the morning, then get ready because you might just get into trouble with the soldiers. As early as 5:30 am, you should be on the parade ground. Well, if you think you didn’t have enough sleep, not to worry. You could continue at the parade ground. I for one slept on the parade ground while standing. You can do it too.  After parade, you’re given some minutes to take breakfast and get yourself ready for one activity or another. In camp, there’s very little or no time for personal upkeep which is why most persons had thei...

The Leftie Myth

-
In the part of the world where I come from, using your left hand to receive or give something to someone (especially an elder) is more or less seen as a taboo. Two things they say: you're not respectful and your mother didn't train you well. They cast aspersions on the left hand and ascribe negativism to everything that has to do with the left. Have you heard this saying "you woke up from the left side of the bed"? This is not very far away from the myth that asserts my original stance. So waking from the left side means you're automatically going to have a bad day. Have you also heard the myth that insinuates that giving a toast with your left hand is the same as placing a curse on the person you're saluting? Oh well, my mum said I had the tendency of using my left hand since I was an infant. She watched how I consistently used the hand with so  much vigour and power. She was convinced that she had given birth to an "Onye aka ikpa" and there was ...
