Beautiful November

Wondering at my title?It's my birth month,I mean what could be more beautiful than that?.My God,I had a swell day on Saturday.I felt on top of this planet,I was more than thrilled,fun all the way.I realized the number of people who cared for me.OMG...it feels so good to know how many people care about you.Indeed I felt loved and believe me I remain eternally grateful to God Almighty.Celebrating my birthday gave me to opportunity to really think on the years I have spent here on earth and also make plans for brighter years ahead.

You see,growing old is mandatory but growing up?it is definitely optional.We all choose our paths and define the steps to take to walk on those paths.We ultimately choose our image.It more than ever dawned on me that life is about decisions.Decisions on whose image we choose to represent.Almost every human belie in something,good or evil.Honestly,our beliefs shape our lives.You are either representing good or evil but I keep wondering why anyone at all will choose to wear the image of evil and represent it well enough to celebrate its results.

Why do we heat,selfishness or easy way out?why do we lie,selfishness or society's approval?why do we use swear words,way of expression?why are humans consistently on the wrong side of life and more than anything try to become excellent at justifying wrong doings?The world itself is a hive of mystery,however our ever probing mind is given to understand certain things and discover the truth about existence.We all know there is a greater power somewhere and most of us believe in that power.The challenge is in obeying this greater power and following all his tenets.I totally agree it could be really difficult trying to follow all those tenets but I have consistently discovered that only these tenets are the pointers to life everlasting.


One thing,November has helped me to even discover more than anything else,how beautiful life can be when we totally say yes to this greater power and sheepishly follow all his tenets.Oh that I may know you even deeper...Lord Jesus...Maranatha.

The Empowered woman

I think being a woman,I mean a real woman is one of the hardest things ever!. You won't agree with this only if you are not a woman,but if you are a woman,then congratulations to you.You are a mysterious being but then again this congratulation goes to the 'real woman'. The real woman is that person that makes everything difficult seem easy.She is a hard worker,faithful friend and partner,a good manager,a home maker,a lover,a confidant,a mother,a sister,a daughter,a visioneer...Someone,may say,"Yea, ok...I'm not a mother or I'm single and so does that make me not a real woman?Of course not!. Age,class,status,beauty or achievements do not define a real woman,but character does. I can't but wonder at the stories we hear these days about women.I marvel at the rate of evil perpetuated by women in our society.Prostitution is old wives tale but when women are involved in armed robbery,kidnappings,terrorism,gang rape,adultery,fraud to mention a few,then by a...

The Career Woman

I stumbled upon this beautiful article on IFP while researching on other stuff and thought to share it. It's a 4 minutes read. I totally agree with it. Gender equality seems to be the one issue that isn't going away. Many of us like to believe sexism is something that only plagued the workplaces of yesteryear, but unfortunately it still exists. Don't believe us? Well, in 2016 just 57% of the world's  working-age women  were in employment, compared to 70% of their male counterparts. And even the females who were in work were struggling to catch up with the men. Women with  full-time jobs  still earn only about 77% of their male counterparts' earnings. Of course, the issue is complex and many expect that because most countries have made it illegal to pay women less than men, that gender inequality has fixed itself. However, problems surrounding  unconscious bias , parental leave, and outdated stereotypes about gender roles persist in the workplace. But what are th...

Domestic Voilence in Nigeria heightens in the face of economic hardship-majority of victims are women!

A recent Public Opinion poll conducted by NOIPolls Limited in partnership with Project Alert on domestic violence has revealed an increasing prevalence of domestic violence across Nigeria in recent times as reported by about 8 in 10 (78 percent) respondents. This prevalence is highest in the South-West geo-political zone (86 percent) and lowest in the South-South zone (70 percent). More findings revealed that 54 percent of Nigerians have suffered a form of domestic violence or know someone that has experienced domestic violence in their homes with majority of the victims being women as stated by 75 percent of respondents. Just this week, a man in Aba Abia state allegedly beat his wife into coma for lying to him that she has not been paid her salary after commissioner for finance Obinna Oriaku mis-informed the Abia public on radio that civil servants salary arrears have been paid.
