                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,
TheInspiredCutiee 😘

Short story type of day

By
I wrote this while I was in church (please don't judge me , it just popped in my mind and I began to write) She felt something slowly tickle her face, she ignored it the first and second time, then it began to move more rapidly than before. She woke up in a startle, disoriented and wondered what could have been causing this, it felt like it was on her face, she touched her face and it was wet, 'what's this?' she asked herself because it was dark. She quickly jumped up and flicked the switch on.. She screamed when she saw it was blood! The small dark spot on her pillow and on her nightie (when she sat up) were both evidence that she was bleeding from her nose. 'No, no not again' she cried. 'This can't be happening again' she said! Then she quickly remembered she was to tilt her head up whenever her nose began to bleed, she tilted her head and waited a couple of minutes but it didn't stop. She began to panic because she was loosin...

Lauren Daigle

By
Lauren Daigle is a contemporary christian music singer. I absolutely love her voice. She speaks to your soul and situation.  Her music is exceptional; but my favorite two are: How Can It Be and Trust In You. The first time I heard 'How Can It Be' I was in tears.. Sigh.. Like I said she speaks to your situation. That moment of my life I felt inadequate of God's love and then I heard this song.  Just take a moment to look at the lyrics:  http://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/laurendaigle/howcanitbe.html 'Trust in you' is nothing short of her amazing voice, again the lyrics blow me away. The chorus is always a reminder: When You don’t move the mountains I’m needing You to move When You don’t part the waters I wish I could walk through When You don’t give the answers as I cry out to You I will trust, I will trust, I will trust in You! I always ask myself; can I still trust God when He doesn't give me the answers I want? Can I still be genuinely gra...

The Halo Effect

By
Are you exhibiting the halo effect? Do you buy products because of the celebrity representing it? Or stay in a relationship that is wrong because of one good quality? We are all attracted to people all the time. What attracts us to others? And what attracts you? When you meet someone for the first time you draw a conclusion about them, subconsciously you decide whether you like them or not. BUT is it possible that one trait or aspect of one's character can influence your perception about them? Honestly, I judge a person's character based on their physical appearance, its a quick judgment that is very likely inaccurate. The good thing is that once I begin to have a conversation, I realize there's more to the person than just physical looks. (Well that's for those that are actually more than their looks). The halo effect can cloud our judgment even when we know about it. When one good quality spills its appeal unto other elements of a per...
