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

5naira-new.jpg
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

unnamedI 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.
