                Another Independence Day has come oh, and boy check social media especially Twitter for the trolls and memes about our country, everyone has an opinion about this country. This day is spent in various ways; some are deciding to spend the day at various stadiums celebrating the independence through parades, some are being patriotic by wearing white or green or white and green apparels and carrying Nigerian flags, some like my tweeps are hashtagging all day, lol, some people are taking today off to rest (they cannot come and die).
I asked my friend how to enjoy this day during the recession with little or no money to spend, and he was like “my dear just stay in your house, sleep and observe social media”.
It is very easy to be discouraged about what is currently going on in our country. I mean in less than 3 freaking months the equivalent of $1 is almost N500, more people have lost jobs than gained them, and so much more. The next thing people do is play the blame game; how is this game played? it is very easy my dear, at least one time or the other in your life you played the game, I probably play it more times than I can count; you just shift your responsibility to the next available thing or person. As Nigerians, we’ve decided to blame our President - Buhari aka Sai Baba.
I’m of the opinion is that we’ve given too much credit to this man on this subject, because the change we were all anticipating isn’t what we are experiencing now. So many factors have brought us to this stage abeg, it’s not solely the fault of the president; we all have parts to play.
I don’t have much to say about what we are currently facing, because you and I know it and are experiencing it. I just decided to wish you all “HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY!!” before the day runs out. And to remind you to continue to pray and not to give up, change is coming *wink*.
I hope you enjoy this day no matter the situation you currently are in.

Peace. *raises two fingers in the air*

With love,

Part 2

If you missed Part 1, here is the link: http://theinspiredcutiee.blogspot.com.ng/2015/10/part-1.html#more Part 2: Habit A habit is something done repeatedly sometimes sometimes unconsciously. 40% of everything we do is done merely from habit. Experts say that a habit can be broken or formed in 30 days. I have bad habits, (cell phone addiction, PROCRASTINATION) some I don't even know how I'll be if I stop,(watching too much series) some I have stopped, (I used to suck my lower lip) and I'm sure you too have some habits that are bad. No judgment, habits form us, its when they are bad that it becomes a problem. Breaking a habit can seem overwhelming, especially when you have more than one. Choose a single habit and work on that until you are victorious before you pick up another one. Lemme share a classic example, I began to exercise daily few weeks ago, normal body pains are expected, but me I stopped.  I couldn't deal. On Saturday 24th October I

End It?

By
I love the series 'How To Get Away With Murder' not necessarily because of its name or its characters or storyline but because I love very good series scripts and the above is definitely on my top ten list. I'm not about to rave about the series, lol, (you can go online, download it or go to the nearest DVD retail outlet and 'grab your copy now') but to talk about the advice Annalise Keating (played by Viola Davis) gave to Nate's Wife - Nia Lahey (who is dying of ovarian cancer in the show) Here's an excerpt from the episode: Nia: I want you to end it Annalise: I'm sorry? Nia: I want you to kill me Then after so much consideration and guilty conscience, here is how it went down: Annalise: I think about it a lot; killing myself, I have ever since I was a child, lot of times I think the world would be a much better place without me in it, but I don't do it. You are a better woman than me, and if I don't deserve to die then you definitel

Part 1

In one of his songs, Nathaniel Bassey described Zechariah 4:6 (Not by power, not by might, but by my Spirit; saith the Lord) as thus; So many of us have tried to fight addiction in the flesh, you've tried to stop that habit, you've tried to get out of that relationship, you've tried to break through, you've tried will power BUT its not by power not by might but by my Sprit saith the Lord. Hence the kick off of the series, (they don't follow each other in the traditional sense of series, think of it like American Horror Story Series) Part 1: ADDICTION Dictionary dot com defines it as the state of being enslaved to a habit, or practice or to something that is physiologically or physical habit-forming as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma. A couple of months back, my brother and I were arguing over 'habit' 'addiction' and 'obsession', which comes first?, which is difficult to break? and so much more. Can
