                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,

The SS 4

If you’ve been following these series, you know they started off as a rant, but I decided to be inspiring, (as usual, hehe). If you haven’t (where have you been!) – you can read the Kick Off , Part 1 , Part 2 , Part 3 . I concluded part 3 saying watch out for myth 3… (still watch out!) ‘I thrive on purpose’, ‘I exist because of purpose’, so what then are the things I should be conscious of during this phase? Literally what lessons should I gather from my singleness? This requires a critical look at Genesis 2: 8-17: 1.       Place: God has a purpose for every place He puts me, He wants me to see, learn something before He can show me the next step. For example; He placed me in my family for a reason. Ironically many (myself inclusive) place ourselves and source for a person or people to validate this place we’ve placed ourselves. Even more sadly, many (myself inclusive) fight the place God has placed us. 2.      Pu...

List

By
As we countdown hours to the end of the year, in every corner there seem to be lists of things that happened this year; they maybe favorite or worsts, or top experiences or things that made history, sha lists. (you get my drift right?). I don't think I have sat down to draw up a 'list' well expect when I was applying for a job and they specifically said give 10 reasons why we should hire you. Yeah that happened. Lol. So I have been thinking, really thinking. A whole lot can happen in a year, emphasis on  'whole lot'. Except you write every detail of what happens daily and not miss a day (I wonder if there are people that are this deep) you are bound to forget some things. The movie 'INSIDE OUT' depicted how our mind works. (If you've seen it; you have an idea of what I'm talking about, if you've not I don't know what you are waiting for) There are too many things that have happened this year for me as an individual, in fact as a...

Sunday Special

FEAR Where can I hide from this scary beast I'm so tired of attending these feasts I have been held bound by your lies  You told me I can't go beyond where I am My whole life I had dreams that would transform the world I saw myself sitting with Kings Dinning with Princes But In reality,all that was on my plate was hate I looked around and saw regret You made me feel comfortable, here on this dinning table Feeding me with stories of how I can't, How I wouldn't be able to! You told me they would laugh at me the moment I opened my mouth to speak That explains why everyone thinks I'm weak I got letters of Invitation from greatness You tore them right before my eyes You took me out once in a while to see your friends,mediocrity, status quo and Impossibility They seemed cool at the time Till I met faith Then I realised my whole life has been a deception All this while I was at the wrong reception Faith took me on a walk and showed me all the things I ...
