“Still in Nigeria?” I hear that question often — sometimes with surprise, other times with a knowing smirk, and occasionally, quiet concern. And honestly? I understand why they ask. From the outside, Nigeria can seem overwhelming. Loud. Unpredictable. Inflation. But living here? It’s intense. It’s vibrant. And it’s unforgettable. Over time, it’s grown on me — not because it’s easy, but because it’s alive. Because in all its contradictions, Nigeria feels more human than anywhere I’ve ever known. Here’s my honest answer: 1. People say “Sorry” even when you hurt yourself. 2.“Good morning” expires at exactly 12:00pm — and you’ll be corrected if you miss the cutoff. 3.Rain ruins plans? Just get through it. 4.Anyone can turn into a motivational speaker — no prep needed. 5. One event, two prayers: Muslim to open, Christian to close. Peaceful, respectful, seamless 6. Everyone disagrees — politics, religion, football — and still shares a plate of jollof. 7.“Happy New Month” is a real thin...

In middle school science, what I was taught about Matter is basically that it is anything that has weight and occupy space. I had to navigate adulthood to realize this definition is DEEPLY POOR. Part of my clarity (learnt in deep misery) is the truth that most humans actually live in the prison of matter—the ownership of things; because people are so poor all they have is money. I grew to understand that poor billionaires exist, languishing in the pettiness and smallness of having plenty outside and nothing inside. In a world obsessed with symbols of success—labels, possessions, titles—we often forget that existence itself does not derive its credibility from things, but from meaning. Those who miss this weighty idea will forever be in hustle-mode, chasing reflections of worth all their life, and never experiencing true worth. Having a lot of money in the process, yet lacking meaning. Meaning, in this sense, is the intrinsic alignment of one’s existence with a purpose beyond mere s...

Understanding Petroleum Subsidization Petroleum subsidization refers to government intervention in the fuel market to reduce the cost of petroleum products for consumers by covering part of the price difference between the market price and the pump price. This is done to make fuel more affordable, stabilize transportation costs, and support economic activities. In Nigeria, the government historically subsidized petrol prices, ensuring that citizens paid below the actual market rate. This policy aimed to reduce the cost of living, support businesses, and prevent inflationary pressures caused by high fuel prices. Actions Taken in the Removal of Petroleum Subsidy in Nigeria Over time, the Nigerian government faced huge fiscal burdens due to subsidy payments. In May 2023, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu announced the removal of fuel subsidies, citing unsustainable government expenditure and corruption in the subsidy system. The major actions taken include: Immediate Removal of Subsidy – Fue...

CHOOSE YOUR FOCUS If you hire a photographer to record your wedding, he knows better not to record those who are fighting over meats or bottles of beer. If there is a loose wire causing sparks somewhere close to the sound system, he knows better not to record it. He is careful choosing what to focus the lens on. You know why? He knows that you paid him to record the great moments you will always like to remember, not the ones you do not cherish. He knows that what you want to remember are not those people fighting. You want to see the beautiful wedding dresses, the rhythmic dance steps of the bridal train, the toasts, the comedy from the MC etc. It is the same wedding, but he chooses his focus. This is called Selective Attention. Choose what you focus on in Life. The stimuli that demand our reactions or responses on a daily basis are usually numerous. The workplace is busy. Different moments, diverse experiences, the good, the bad and the ugly. You can allow everything to disturb...

Avoid common mistakes and craft abs of steel by following these 10 simple steps to lose belly fat First of all, let's get one thing clear: there is no way to target specific areas of fat on your body. No matter how enthusiastically the lady on the infomercial promises her products will be able to 'melt those love handles' or 'firm up that butt', she's lying. Or at least, bending the truth. And even if you work out twice a day, every day, if you're consuming more calories than you’re burning, and if the food you’re eating is packed full of sugar and other things that encourage your body to store fat - you will still carry some excess flab. However, there are some tricks you can employ to give your body the best chance in your fight against the flab. Thousands of crunches won’t give you a six-pack, but making some dietary changes and switching up your training approach can and will. The quickest way to fail your fat-fighting mission is by flaking out on yo...

Iwan Read the speech of President Mugabe...True Story: 1. Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tyres. 2. Racism Will never end as long we still wash first white clothes, then other colours later. 3. Racism will never end if people still use black to symbolise bad luck and WHITE for peace! 4. Racism will never end if people still wear white clothes to weddings and black clothes to the funerals. 5. Racism will never end as long as those who don't pay their bills are blacklisted not White listed. Even when playing the pool (snooker), you haven't won until you sink the black ball,and the white ball must remain on the field. BUT I don't CARE,SO LONG AS I'M STILL USING THE WHITE TOILET PAPER TO WIPE MY BLACK A*S, I 'M STILL FINE! (Mugabe speech) LOL 😃😃😃 What do you think about this speech ?
