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...

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...

POST-COVID AND THE NEW NORMAL

Obviously, several persons heard “New Normal” for the first time due to Covid-19, however, the term “New Normal” has existed way before the Covid-19 pandemic. Between 2007 and 2008, there was a Global financial crisis and economists refers to this crisis as the deepest financial crisis that hit the world. In a bid to highlight the aftermath of the financial crisis, business experts and economist made use of the term “New Normal” which simply identifies a deviation from the normal. So, simply put, New Normal may refer to an abnormal scenario or change from the former. To provide a little background information on Covid-19, the Centre for Disease Control on its website explained that “COVID-19 is caused by a coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2. Older adults and people who have severe underlying medical conditions like heart or lung disease or diabetes seem to be at higher risk for developing more serious complications from COVID-19 illness”. The vir...
