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.

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...

A Celebrity

Ever wondered how it feels, that there are some kinda very important people in this world, they are popular, rich and famous. You think of your self so little beside them. What fills your mind is just one opportunity to see one of them and you will take a whole load of pictures and post them on Facebook, Instagram or your WhatsApp status, so that your friends can view you as someone that has met a celebrity. It feels good tho! But have you also wondered that some people out there are also looking at you as a celebrity. Tho, you might not be rich, famous or popular but you have something in you that makes you stand out. No matter who you are in this world, someone out there is looking up to you, someone out there is wanting to do the things you do, someone out there is looking for just one opportunity to take a picture with you. You might as well be wondering that "who is this somebody" well, you haven't found out because you haven't paid attention to that phase of y...

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...
