My Rant Blog is Back…

One of my greatest fears in life is, not being able to pull through with a task due to inconsistency. And for every task life has thrown at me, I have battled consistency, and this fight is far from being over. I'm saying a lot already without getting to the meat of the story but hold on a second, I like my introduction as detailed as possible. As I was saying, before I started blogging, I knew a time would come when I'll go for extended breaks, feel unmotivated, lazy, or even shut down. I thought about everything, but in the end, I realized only consistency can sustain me.

Well, I'm back from my self-imposed sabbatical leave - sometimes we need to relax and lazy around. The last time I was here, I shared a personal testimony – you should check it out if you haven't read. Once again, I'm excited to have you here in my little space, and I don't take this privilege for granted. Hope you're great?😍

A lot has happened during and after the lockdown though. You can't imagine that a young girl duped me of my hard-earned cash some weeks ago. You heard me right — a small tinkili girl. My younger sister should be older than her (or so I believe). It is one of those events where you are forced to believe that you were jazzed. When I've recovered from the shameful event, I'll definitely share it on this space.

Some days ago, my mind told me I was depressed (my mind can be wilding sometimes👀). I searched 'depression' on google and wanted to know more. I've never experienced 'real' depression, and so, I wanted to be sure I wasn't hallucinating. As I perused the net, I realized I was experiencing some symptoms of depression. Eiyaaa, depression no dey respect hard girl o. What did I find? I was restless, sad, lost concentration and appetite, and didn't want to speak to anyone. Many factors contributed to my state of mind, but I resolved I wasn't going to let it get to the point of no return. I smiled, remembered the things I'm grateful for, and yes, I moved on!!! 

 

Guess what? I'm now a green tea fan. Somebody say yea? It worked magic for me during my menstrual cycle, and I'm forever grateful. You know how you take pain relievers for menstrual pain, and minutes later it looks as though you ingested pain inducing drugs. Like, your uterus is just eyeing the drug as it passes down your throat and is smiling sheepishly because e no go work. My sister had earlier preached the good news of green tea (she's a fan by the way) and I shoved the idea off because I can't come and kill myself. I mean, it's tasteless! Why take green tea when you can drink yoghurt? Las las, I took green tea and like magic, the menstrual cramp crashed. It also improved my mood. So, yes, I'll drink green tea often.

So, some days ago, a friend clocked 24 and yea, she expressed her concerns about getting old. Isn't it scary that one moment you're 18, and at another, 30 comes knocking? Time, they say waits for no one, which is why it is pertinent to make hay while the sun shines. Before I conclude, my friend's girlfriend broke up with him (although he claims it's the other way around) and I find this funny because the hard guy is humbled. Haq haq haq!!!

I've said a lot and wouldn't want to bore you. I'm back and would try to update the blog often. I need to blow before my next birthday so I can do a giveaway and shame the Devil small. Once again, I'm back to the blog, and I'm excited 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 ...
