The Strength in Weaknesses

We cannot but agree that our world is filled with people we want to be like, our role models, mentors and the likes. Even these role models of ours also have people they look up to. Its just the cycle of life.

We wake up every morning seeing pictures of these ones doing exploits, making waves and doing extraordinary stuffs but the little you is still battling with some weaknesses which sort of discourages you that you cannot attain what you desire. Well, its life.

But recently, I've come to understand that we gain strength from weaknesses. Imagine the teacher, doctor, preacher, billionaire or who ever it is you look up to, comes out and opens up to you that he faced the same stuffs you are currently facing and he still came out to be what he is today, imagine the kind of courage that would beem up in you, the feeling that you are not alone in what you are facing. Just imagine!

If people with already made success story, potential success story or what ever story it is at all, can come out and speak out about their weaknesses and struggles, how encouraged would those looking up to them be! How courageous would those who are currently passing through similar stuff be!

The world has made it seem that we all have to be perfect and strong. But sweetheart, its okay to be weak. Your weakness today would serve as strength for someone tomorrow.

Ajuwaya in an Ijaw land

Glory to God, I'm at the end of my service year and I've successfully completed my 12 months of National Service to Nigeria. I was privileged to serve in the South-South region, precisely Bayelsa state. I remember waking up one random morning with a nudge that I was going to serve in Bayelsa and the first thing I did was to open google and search for opportunities in the financial sector of the state. I found out that there was a CBN branch located in Yenagoa and probably that was where the "Lord was sending me to". Ever since then, I've always told those around me that I would serve in Bayelsa. Every time my Mum heard that, she would immediately reject it for me because it is not her daughter that would go for service in a very distant location. After a very long while (Covid and a sprinkle of OAU), it was finally time to register for NYSC. All my attempts to select four states were futile. I kept on seeing "no states available" and in the end, I regis...

MEMORIES ☑️

Every phase of our life is short lived but the memories we keep lasts forever. The great and not so great things we experience are hinged on keeping us in the moment, but a picture, video or journal of that moment serves as an immortal piece of such experiences. For the good, it brings back smiles to our faces and brightens our present state while the bad gives us the assurance that there’s always a light at the end of every situation. We meet different individuals at different phases in life and the possibility of growing with the same set of people in the friendship space all through the years is very slim. But keeping memories would give one a higher chance of reconnecting. Moving from high school, I had great friends, but all I have left is the mental pictures of that season. All through my junior secondary school, I had no picture or video to remind me of some moments I’d love to relive. I understand that having mobile phones wasn’t prominent for students my age at that...

Our Governmental Dispositions

In our world today, every Country or Sovereign State has a Constituted Authority. Such Authority is called the Government. The Government are a section of the people, other people have chosen to lead them. At least, Democratically, that's what it means. In a correct system, the Government is supposed to be accountable to the citizens of her country. But in a failed system, it may not be so🤦. Our Government is not perfect. People would and will still continue to make mistakes in what ever position they are. And such people are the ones that makes up the Government. The citizens of the country are not perfect either, we all have flaws, we believe if we get into the governmental leadership position, we would perform excellently well, better than the previous people. Well, its just something we wish for🙄. But what should we do instead, we are aware we have an imperfect government system with citizens that are full of flaws, what should be our disposition? 1. Instead of rain...
