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 time but I wish we could have devised other means to keep those moments in the sands of time 


Getting into senior secondary school, I got introduced to Diary Writing, it was actually fun writing how each day went, what made you happy, how you’re crushing on a boy, the gist you heard about a girl or the beef you’re having with someone. On the other hand, a con aside misplacing the diary is ensuring no one else has access to it. We really had to guard that diary with all we had. But years later, who still has his/her diary in check?


I really appreciate something that was done in my primary school where at the end of each session, there’s a group class photograph. Till date I can mention the names of over 70 percent of the class. 



Technology has made things easier for us. We can keep memories on the internet and as long as the internet still exists, our memories are intact and accessible to us. 


I enjoy every moment I spend rewatching videos (memories) I upload on YouTube. It literally takes me back in time to the beauty in that phase and I love it. I hope to be able to do more of it.


The memories we don’t keep, gets lost in time.


So guys, in any way possible, take that picture, press that record button, open that personal blog  and you’ll be glad you did.


Posterity would thank you.

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...

WOULD MY REVIEW MATTER?

Look retrospectively at that point in your life where you were praised for doing something good and spectacular, how did you feel?  It is often said that organizations whose major aim is to satisfy customers whilst maximizing profits always turn out to be industry leaders. How would the organizations be able to ascertain the actualization of the goal of satisfying customers without the presence of reviews, increased customer base and repurchase?  So, here is the process: You buy a product, you love it and you drop a positive review (review) Someone sees your review and is compelled to buy the product (increased customer base) Every initial purchase initiates another purchase because consumers love the product (repurchase) The whole process may not have been possible without the review. It works the same way for everybody. But the focus here will be on those that put out contents. Most often than not, a lot of people who put out contents for others to see are always skeptical a...
