HOPE

Some opinions are pure fallacy,
others are misconstrued concepts.
One fact that's ever true,
one thing to live for;
Is HOPE.
In the darkest cloud and stormy days,
I choose to hope for better days.
For a human born of a woman,
or other scientific viable means.
Is worthy of living at the expense of disquietude,
or bitter anguish.
Everyone deserves a 'far beyond better' life.
Better than possible.
Yeah, it sounds plausible!
"Hold on, press endlessly!
To reap "Honour on profitable efforts".
.....and that's HOPE.
-Anne.

"If you have to win, you have to beat those winning. " Now the question is" Have you been winning or it's the other way round? " Now, let's be realistic. Life is full of challenges; cross a hurdle and the next awaits you. A challenge is said to be a bid to overcome something. A challenge is never a problem at first unless it has gone through several phases that makes it one. A problem is a difficulty that needs to be resolved because without it being resolved, it poses several consequences.
     As we grow older, things change in our lives, several challenges come up. We learn to approach people properly, keep funny gestures out of formal gatherings, work harder when our career goals are at stake , how to be more confident, what to and what not to wear and on like that. In the time past, we've made several decisions we ought not to make that posed a drastic problem for us. Now is the time we have to wake up and stand firm. If we have to win in all aspects of our lives then we have to start putting things in place.
     Now is the time we need to be aware of what we do, steps we take,  decisions we make and whom we choose as friends. Is our conscience still working out right for us? Let's take time to reflect on the things we do day in and out. Be wise and overcome life's challenges like the hero you were born to be. The time is NOW!!! Take charge of your life and make the best out of it. Live life!! Love life!!! Do it the right way!! Now is the time to be stronger than ever, sweeter than ever and better than ever. Help yourself, help your loved ones, help your dreams and help your future! You can be the best if you want to be. Don't forget to also be a warrior on your knees and join the winning team. Have a pleasant day guys!!

"SIDE CHICK" PRINCIPLE

Hey! Hey! Hey!... It's not too late to say "Happy new week!!". I've been free lately,  no school stress and all. The short break has been going smoothly and I'm happy about it.
.
.
.
Yesterday's was my bestie's birthday 🎂 and my day was alive and filled with awesome memories. Today, I woke up quite late, did some squats and decided to post something here.
.
.
.
I saw something like this while surfing the net. "If he has a side chick, it doesn't mean he's a cheat. There's a reason why it's called side chick". I laughed so hard and I remembered this friend of mine.
.
.
.
I had this friend dating a dude like dat with a lot of confidence and commitment . I used to love her zeal for keeping her relationship until I found out the dude was actually not faithful (that "wth" feeling). I met a level mate in a cab one day and he was discussing with his friends about the same guy my friend was dating. I call that "pimp shaming".
.
.
.
I decided to make my friend know about it. Well, I'm not used to meddling in people's private life. I thought it would be fair if I truly let her know who she's willing to spend her life with.
.
.
.
After our lectures,  I decided to have a short conversation with her. I made it known to her that her "supposed faithful man"  was maybe pretending to her. I turned out to be the bad person.  I wanted to ruin her life and all sort of things came through my mind. Seriously, I was only trying to help her stay away from that snare.
.
.
.
Years have gone by and we aren't as close as we used to be just because of the same guy.  Right now, her life is a mess.  She's the talk of her friends. They bitch on her everywhere they go and that hasn't been fair enough but what can I do??? Absolutely nothing. She has found out he's a renowned pimp and can't do anything about it.
.
.
.
Probably, she heeded to this same quote I saw. Too bad for ladies who believe their spouse having side chicks can still be faithful. I really don't understand that principle. If he's too busy with his side chick(s),  you are also one. Don't waste your time trying to keep a man that isn't staying.
.
.
.
Guys with side chicks, date girls of your kind. Stop deceiving serious minded souls. That's a very wrong thing. The same measure of what you do will be done to your sisters and even loved ones.
.
.
.
I still wonder how he can have side chick(s)  and still not be a cheat. It's like two contradicting statements. Girls!!! Please, stop being gullible.  It doesn't work that way.



DON'T JUDGE, CELEBRATE OLUMIDE ORESEGUN!!!

It's no news Olumide Oresegun's art work is going viral. He is being celebrated for his tremendous oil paintings. It reflects the culture, norms and demographic settings of Africa even as far as Africa's vibrancy. It's not even arguable but certain that "BLACK IS BEAUTIFUL".
.
.
.
.
Meanwhile, some of us are celebrating our talented brother, others are out there to spit venom on his work. Nigerians!!! but why?? Some particular set of people said his work is Paedophilia and it reflects something obscene. Like seriously!!!!  Some people got no chills.
.
.
.
.
This dude's work is close to perfect if it's not perfect. It has a great story to tell and obviously realistic. So why would some people be so quick to judge??
.
.
.
.
In life science lectures,  when they have to talk about anatomy and physiology of primates. Some lecturers bring nude pictures showing dissected parts of humans and all that. It doesn't mean the lecturers are perverts.
.
.
.
.
You don't know the purpose of something so why just criticize and interprete it the wrong way?? Nudity doesn't always mean sexual, if not all doctors must be perverts. If you don't like his work, do yours and let's see if it will be appreciated by everyone in this world.
.
.
.
.
You don't have to criticise everything, do you really have to???  Keep mute if you don't appreciate it.



HYGIENE

I think this is not right or well maybe, funny to others. Why do you 'pee' in public without proper sanitary measures??
.
.
.
.
... That is how I boarded a bus from Ikotun to Egbeda and there was this pretty lady that notified the driver to stop the bus because she was very uncomfortable. She wanted to urinate.
.
.
.
She alighted from the bus and went straight to a nearby fence at the side of the main road.  Up till now, I wonder how she took off her pants(hehe.. professional something). The next thing I saw was that she rubbed her hands on her skirt and acted like nothing happened.
.
.
.
Nothing to clean up, not even a linen to wipe her hands (some Nigerians can fall person hand sha).
.
.
.
Why wouldn't  you use the toilet before embarking on a short journey?? If it's a long journey, take things that are necessary for you to stay clean after urinating. Baby's wipe is just three hundred and eighty naira. It might probably be five hundred naira now because of the dollar rise (that's Nigeria for you). Seriously, help your ministry as a lady. Don't go about with cute dresses and a nice make-up only for you to pose filthy in public. Peace!

HAPPY 2016!

     First, let me get my dancing shoes on (smiles). Before I get started with the dance, let me take time to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR. It has been God all the way. My profound gratitude to my wonderful family, friends and relatives. Thanks for being part of my 2015. Hope to see more of you all in 2016.

    I think I should share this right here. I had to travel back home from Ilorin to spend Christmas with my family. The crowd at the park was very discouraging, I thought I wouldn't be able to board a bus. I came to the park with a friend and he left for another park just because he couldn't wait any longer. I decided to wait a little while and immediately he left, I got a bus at an affordable price to convey me to Lagos. He called later on while I was at Ogbomoso, that he was unable to get a bus. Wow!!! Impatience... just some few minutes would have solved the problem. I know you are thinking why I shared this. Well, I'm definitely talking to someone out there who has been patient since last year hoping for things to turn around.
     I know you've waited for so long and this is the 11th hour. It's going to be painful if you turn your back on God right now. It's a new year and things are going to turn around right this year. Don't quit this moment, get a reward for your patience. Patience is not just the ability to wait, it's the ability to keep the right attitude while waiting.
     It's a new year and wonderful things are going to happen. "Adopt the pace of nature, her secret is patience". A moment of patience saves a thousand of regrets. Everything will come to you in the right moment. Have a great year!

LOOM BANDS MADE EASY!!!

Good day everyone, Hope everyone is having a great day? Let's get back to crafts! I want to introduce something very colourful and easy to make. Loom bands!!! I tried it out and it was easy, thanks to my
little cousin. It's adorable when done correctly. You can make bracelets or even hair bands.
YAAAAY!!! Something like this. These are loom band knotted bracelets which are only made from fishtail stitches. It's about adding loom bands and knotting them with  fishtail stitches on both sides.
MATERIALS
-Loop band clip
-Loop bands
-Hook
-Clips (S-clip or C-clip)

 The steps needed to make a loom band bracelet are:
- Set up your loom band kits
-Place the first band diagonally starting from the middle peg.
-Place the second band diagonally starting from where you stopped with the first band. Repeat the
process in a zig-zag pattern.
-Grab the second band from the first middle peg from underneath the first band with your hook.
-Flip the band so that it bends over the next band above it in the next row.
-Repeat this process.
-Add your clip at the end and hook the last band at the other end to it. See what you get.
NOTE: You can use double bands to get a tighter bracelet.
