Just scared!!!

In about a month from now,general elections wil take place to select leaders who wil take Nigerians to that promised land which every common Nigerian yearns for.However,I am more scared than amazed at the high rate of killings and violence all around Nigeria.It is not as if thevents are new to human kind.I mean violence,killings and all that.No!,they aer not,but my worry is the mode of perpetration.Bombing?.No way.This was definitely very alien to the nigerian people.At least, I have been around for more than a quarter of a century and no such event has ever been reported.We only saw it on television happening elsewhere but not our dear Nigeria.

First,it was the October 1 twin bombing while Nigerians were celebrating 50 years of independence,then the new year's eve bombing in a place where merry makers were just catching fun.It was all quiet after that.People kept speculating about the possible initiators and executors of these acts.At a time arrests were made but we hardly hear anything about the issue these days.A good number thought it was religiously incited,others felt it was politically motivated.Then just two days ago on March 3 at about 1pm at a campaign rally,some faceless cowards still repeated thesame act killing about 10 people and left more than 20 seriously injured.For this one,everyone was quick to say it was politically motivated.

                                                        

And I say wether,religious,political,selfish,foolishly,whatever motivated or incited these unforgivable acts against innocent citizens is baseless and the height of cowardice and a most appalling way to exhibit ignorance.How can any sane person sacrifice the innocent on the altar of greed and selfishness?You have to be psycholigically bereaved,emotionally handicapped,intellectually deprived to conceive such an act,how much more execute it.How can anyone find a reason to kill innocent people whom you most likely have never met before and so may not be standing directly on your path of self greed?

The story of Jos is a different thing altogether.That one is better left to the mind to imagine how people who you used to live side by side with each other suddenly turned arch enemies and wishes each other nothing but death and pain.The human mind is no doubt an abode for either good or bad,but I also know the creator of man was gracious enough to give man the power and will to choose between the two!.So,why is it looking more like Nigeria(the world) is embracing evil like a man embraces a wife he loves?.

Moralists say it is simply evil competing with good,the spiritual minds say these are the signs of the end of time and free thinkers say,it is just the different facets of life.Where do you belong or are you sitted on the fence?Remember the fence is tilted.You are either on the right side or the wrong side.Do no be caught on the wrong side of caution,I dare say to you..I am thankful that I can use this medium to implore us all to look inwards and anchor our livess on the wings of reason.Life is beautiful,if only we make it so.It is worthy of mention here,to cap all these up by saying that GOOD ultimately conquers EVIL.If you are on the side of evil,be warned,your destination time is approaching,even now!!!.

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...

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.

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...
