You cannot use wrong to achieve a good (Leadership and Politics)

By -

It is funny that the wrong people get themselves into leadership while the good people have no chance to perhaps because they have refused to cut corners and do all the negative maneuvers done by indecent people to get into leadership. This is my personal philosophy, I can't use wrong to achieve a good. If I have to do so many wrongs like bribing, rigging, killing, lying, deceiving to get into power because I have good intentions, I'd better kept my good intentions to myself than do such.

Recently there has been a clamour for young people to lead, I buy this move but I still have great fears because young people in Nigeria are not ready for leadership. I say this because of what I have noticed over time, at least I get to talk to so many young people and the orientation is poor. We just have an improved version of mental and moral weakness compared to our current leaders.

One of the most organized platforms for youth leadership is the Student Union Governments in Universities. There are other platforms like leadership in faculties, departments and classes. For those that have been in these systems in our Universities, if this is the kind of leadership you plan to salvage Nigeria with, please remain in your bed. Don't even think of it because I will personally campaign against it. If the kind of leadership displayed by young people in our universities is what they are bringing as leadership of the young in Nigeria, I had rather stuck with what I know, I prefer the grandfather's and grandmothers.

I still believe strongly that a time will come when the people will be hard pressed, and will be tired of mortgaging their destinies and those of their children for 1500 naira and a plate of rice; and will demand, fight and ensure that a credible and purposeful person assumes leadership even without a dime. When power will return to the people because of their mental and moral strength not in the hands of few who wield stolen resources. I believe in Nigeria and I will live to see and make it happen.
Deliverers are rising.

FEAR (from a motivational video)

This inspiration is from a motivational video - FEAR by: Younes Marxieu. ----- I don't know what that dream is that you have. I don't care how disappointed it might have been as you've been working toward that dream. But here's what I know - that dream that you're holding in your mind, that it's possible. See, sometimes we can say I can do that. But what we can't say that it's possible, that I can have my dream, as we run towards it, as we work on it day in and day out. And most people don't work on their dreams why? One is because of fear. ----- And that's why you'll never be what you wanna be. That's why you'll never have what you wanna have. That's why you'll never accomplish what... ----- Success guys, are a very, very lonely road man. On that road you're not gonna see too many friends. It's your shadow, most often. ----- I wish I could tell you, you tried, go take a break. I wish I could tell you, you t...

Eggshells (Episode 2)

By -
Image
Stanley could not believe that he was delayed at the banking hall for close to an hour before he was asked to enter the office of the Customer Service Manager. Jessica who had waited behind in her car kept on sending him text messages asking him if he was done yet. He pitied her. The poor woman left her own business to attend to his own troubles. He, for once in his life, thought she would make a good wife. However, he didn't love her. Or maybe he did, but he had not realized yet. "You can go in now Sir", came the voice of one of the cashiers at the counter. "Thank you for taking my sweet time". Stanley grinned and walked straight to the door he had been directed to. He was too preoccupied with his fury to knock at the door. He got in and slammed the door behind him. The woman seated at the desk in the cozy and fully air-conditioned office looked smart in her black and white suit. She had a pair of glasses on and she gave off an impression of control and co...

Life and Relationship

By -
How would you define "Life" if you were asked to? I was thinking about this and I came up with two simple definitions, which are related to each other. Life is happiness; and Life is loving yourself, loving others and loving God. Both definitions are related because you can't be happy without loving yourself, loving others and loving God. A large book can be written just to break down this definition. Loving yourself means you do the things that makes you happy, not just happy but also helps you grow and get better and more positive. It involves chasing your dreams, developing and using your natural talents and striving to have a better life tomorrow. The nice thing about your person is that you're Unique, with your own unique talents and abilities. Those talents and dreams you're working hard to achieve will not only serve the benefit of making you fulfilled or giving you a comfortable life, but they are also meant to benefit the world around you. That...

Happiness and You (Dopamine)

By -
Image
Hi Reader! Hope you're doing good? I was checking up on happiness and how it relates to the body and brain, chemically. I found some interesting stuffs that I'll love to share. There are four chemical substances that are related to happiness in the body: Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin and Endorphins (DOSE). There could be more than four but these four are major. My interest today is on Dopamine. Dopamine is a neurotransmitter which influences "reward-motivated behavior " in relation to happiness. By reward-motivated behavior, it is responsible for the excitement one feels when there's a task to be done with a reward attached. This reward can be a goal to be attained or landmark to be set. It's just like something good is coming out from carrying out a task or action, or something new and exciting will be learnt or gained after undergoing an experience or completing a task. You know how good, happy and excited you feel in a situation like this? The brain rele...

Your Advantage is in Your Difference and Uniqueness

By -
Image
Don't kill yourself over something that doesn't work for You. God created us different. Our advantage is in our difference. Don't kill yourself over relationships that don't work, not everyone will date for two years before marriage; yours might be for a month and it happens. If you are not happy, leave it, wait till you find joy. Allow God pilot your life, don't kill yourself because you have already defined a definite pattern in your mind as the path to Success. Maybe you wanted to start a business or job immediately after school, what if God wants you to go back to school first? Please understand your uniqueness in God. No two gathering of believers is exactly the same. Every church has a unique assignment bothering on the spiritual need per time as a part of the ultimate goal of the Body of Christ on earth. Stop jumping from place to place seeking for "e dey happen ministries". Sit back, relax and ask yourself, "Which aspect of my spiritual expe...

Why Salt kills earthworms?

By -
Image
A lot of us have become used to using salt to kill earthworms when we encounter any in our houses. I've thought about this for a while now, but I recently decided to check it up and I'll share what I learnt about the science. Before that, I'll share some points about earthworms: - They are in the lumbricus genus, there are various species of earthworms, but the common earthworm's scientific name is lumbricus terrestris - Their digestive system runs through the length of their skin - Earthworms respire through their skin - They are hermaphrodites (each one carries both male and female sex organs) - They lack either an internal skeleton or exoskeleton , but maintain their structure with fluid-filled coelom chambers that function as a hydrostatic skeleton. Okay, let's talk about salt and earthworms: Earthworms respire and secrete mucus through their skins. Salt (sodium chloride) has the ability of absorbing moisture (desiccant). When a large quantity of salt i...

Step Up Revolution (2012)

It is another interesting movie to talk about. It's a dance movie starring Ryan Guzman (Sean Asa), Misha Gabriel (Eddy, co-leader of the Mob with Sean), Kathryn McCormick (Emily Anderson), Peter Gallagher (William Bill Anderson), among others. I think you guys will love the movie. As usual, I'll share the lessons I learnt from the movie. • It's really cool seeing the team Sean and Eddy put together. They brought different talented dancers together so they could express their voices as a team and make a bigger difference collectively. It's also great having a team of people who share same goals and who are committed. They didn't just gave themselves a voice, they also gave a lot of persons a voice and at the end, their voices were heard. A lot of times, team work with a positive team spirit ensures more positive, less stressful impact and makes the journey entertaining and fulfilling. One could go faster alone, but with a team, no matter how small the team is, the...

Late night eating is unhealthy for you

Late night eating is a common habit that have become integrated into the lives of many people. Lot of persons work till late at night, and have to take late dinner. Even persons who are aware of its unhealthiness sometimes find it difficult to stop. However, everyone wants a healthy life and have to promote healthy eating to achieve that. Having late dinners, or snacking late at night may not really affect a night worker whose day is night and vice versa, but it's unhealthy for one who sleeps at night. At night, one doesn't expend much energy, and the body's metabolism is slower and thus, having late dinners, especially eating heavy food and overeating can result in weight gain, and increased blood sugar levels which can be a predisposition to chronic diseases, including heart attack and stroke. Also, late night dinner can affect one's sleep cycle. The process of digestion can result in one having difficulties sleeping, waking up during sleep, and there may be need fo...
