Recession palava

You remember the saying that a Hungry man is an Angry man. The recession has turned so many people's name to frustration and they act weird this days. Many are hungry and angry together, any opportunity they have to release/ vent the frustration is not going to be a nice sight and i'm sure you won't want to be the sacrificial lamb.

Going home yesterday was funny as the bus driver i entered was such an angry man, i gave him #500 and collected  #200 from the 2 passengers beside me then waited for this man to pass my remaining #200 but he refused till we got to our destination and he merged me with another man to start sorting ourselves. Then i told him where will i get change tro give the other man that he should just sort it out, holy God! this guy started ranting and the abuse started, i returned some then i noticed people had started gathering then remembered the post my uncle sent that we should be careful of fighting and word exchange with strangers so i picked my race.

This morning while coming to the office, the bus stopped at a bus top and told the passengers the fare is #150, this man entered and when it was time to pay he brought out #100 and the driver refused it that it was because of that man in particular he was screaming because he had pulled out that same stunt some days ago. This other man started shouting, abusing and cursing the driver, and i wondered if he was actually planning for the driver before, it was just some minutes to 5:00am and someone could be that bitter.

Please be careful how you deal with people this days especially strangers and Danfo drivers with their conductor. A photo went viral last week of a man that his car was bashed, he came out of his car and he tried chasing the driver, the conductor pushed him and an oncoming vehicle hit him so he died instantly, please lets watch who we drag word and issue with, some bloods are actually hot this period.

Stay careful and trouble-free as we await a new nation/economy/era

RECESSION = ANGER

Remember that saying that a Hungry man is an angry man, don't pick up fight with strangers especially Danfo drivers and conductors. This vlog is my experience with a driver.

What #5 can possibly not buy again

My early days/years in Primary school, #5 was such a big deal and the likes of me can't even take such money to school. You must have come from a big house to hold #5 then and you get to show off with it but not any more. Recently i was given 2 #5 note as change in the market and it looked like i've never seen it, i can't remember the last time i saw that note. I had to ask the woman if its still in circulation before it turns to the likes of the  money kept by my grandma's then to show us as we grow up( old currency).

Things are really expensive now and you can hardly get anything for #5 hence the scarcity of that note. The funniest part is anything that has that value in it you have to buy 2 because you might not get a change of #5. The #35 naira noodles is sold as 2 for#70 and the #25 egg is just automatically 2 for #50. Hardly will you enter a store and see any item tagged with #5.

Here are list of those item that use to be #5 but not any longer.

• Sachet water
• Biscuit
• Tied Sugar
• Ground nut
• Tom tom
• Matches
• Baba Dudu
• Bitter cola
• Chewing stick
• Maggi
• Choba
• Locust bean
• Chewing gum
• Sisi pelebe
• Kuli kuli
• Donkwa
• Local Ice cream
• Blade
• Lolipop

Kindly add yours as it comes to mind. I will continue to update the post as soon as other item joins the bandwagon.

Living for God

I swapped my phone with my husband and because I know it’s more expensive and sophisticated than mine, the care is absolutely different and I guard it jealously. The truth is my phone would have fallen from somewhere but with this no, I make sure it’s not close anywhere it can fall, neither will I stand up without checking if it’s on my laps.

It’s same with our life because it’s not ours, we do not have power over it and so we need to guard it jealously. Live the life as if it’s going to be taken back tomorrow.

I’m sure if a lot of us were told we will die tomorrow/ rapture we will do so many things to enter the kingdom of God. I know I will surely ask for forgiveness, be kind to people, be humble and guard that I do not commit any sin till then.  So why can’t we live this lifestyle on a daily basis because we don’t know what will happen the next minute from now.

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us. The truth is no matter how well we enjoyed in this world, it can’t stand near the one that is waiting for us in heaven. How painful will it be for us to live in duplex and water bed on earth for just 1- 150years then suffer in eternity or even suffer and struggle on earth and suffer again in the world after.

Is what you are living for worth Christ dying for? Christ died that we may live and have life in abundant. I’m sure my husband will take back his phone if I’m careless with it, he won’t watch the phone spoil in a matter of weeks, but our God is not like that, he gives us second chance and opportunity to repent. He gives hope for our tomorrow.

*Oh spirit of the living God, fall afresh on me, please melt me, mould me, fill me and use me for your kingdom project.

Welcome To September

It's September already, welcome to this month of delivery. Gestation period takes 9 months and this is the 9th month of the year...may this month give birth to all your heart desires and those brilliant ideas you conceived...Happy new month beloved..

Race of Life

I was about crossing the express but the cars refused to stop but I could also rushed in between them and make a pass, but I noticed about 100meters behind there was no vehicle and I could just take my time to cross the road instead of turning to Usain Bolt which I gladly crossed catwalking.

Many at times we just keep running, we want to keep moving to the point of losing focus. Its not a bad idea to move but the pace at which we move matters. Don’t run when you are still learning to walk because you will fall and you are likely to get hurt.

A lot of businesses, Marriage, Education, Lives are spoilt because we keep running. Some people start business because they have an idea of what their boss does but many at times doesn’t even know half then the challenge will come without knowing how to solve it. Is it even your passion?  Well its bringing in money so I can do it is what many will say.

Many get married because they are the only spinster/bachelor left in the committee of friend, without carefully and prayerfully study the spouse. Many wants the big wedding on Bellanaija and they want to get featured too. Is this guy/lady good for me should be the question, can I actually cope with him? But many at times we believe we can cope which may not even be possible. Because you are the last doesn’t mean you won’t get there.

Education: I’ve seen parents that wants double promotion for their kids because their friend’s children are in upper class, please calm down. Can your child perform better, how is he coping in that present class he is, how can you make him do better should be your interest and not competing with other children. Some pick a course because others/ friends does and many parents also command the future of the children, you must go Law, Medicine, Accountancy etc please let this children decide for themselves.

Self study, self evaluation should be done in running the race of life. Carefully study yourself, discover who you are, your passions and interest and I believe this can help you keep focus. You don’t need to pull people down on your way to the top as the sky is big enough for all to fly.

Many run the race with no idea of the destination, always remember everything has been predestined. Don’t move faster than your destiny hence you will have to wait in future. There’s no competition in the race of live, we all have different destination and different exams. Do yours and let others do theirs.

Remember life is not a race but a journey, ride smoothly and enjoy the ride.

1. Rest well: What better time do you have to rest than your leave, please do have a pleasant rest during this period. Relax your body, soul and mind. Think less about work and reduce your worry, get the tension out of you.
2. Eat healthy: You have all the time to cook, visit and shop, and so you are prone to eat more, its of benefit you eat healthy at this time, watch all that goes into your mouth. I'm sure you wont want your employer to enlarge the frame of your office door when you returned.

6. Think right:  You need to take charge of your thought and feel calm and also be optimistic in your thoughts towards the coming year. Strategically plan ahead
7. Work on your self: Read during your leaf, develop yourself at this time, submit your CV for a more challenging task and learn something different.
8. Go on Outings: Visit places such as shopping malls, recreation center, cinema, parks and resort centers. Go to places you won't go during work hour and feel the groove.
9. Visit friends and families: Don't leave your friends and family out, visit them and explore your leave together. I visited and had family member at my place.
10. Serve God: There's no better time to observe your personal time, go to worship centers i.e church and mosque, be punctual and serve whole heartedly.
