No age limit...



I have always loved writing...just about anything.As a child,I remember drawing and forging stories of the characters that I drew.I made a little book for my stories and I carried it anywhere.My dad was so impressed with it and he encouraged me.He sang my praises daily but it wasn't long and I lost dad.I don't think I lost the passion to write too because I continued writing,I missed the cheering on,the praises I got from my father.It's more like knowing your effort may never be appreciated again since the only one who seemed to appreciate it was no more.
Parents must do a great work of watching their children closely and understanding their strength.This is often said by almost every adult I know,yet,some children become adults feeling frustrated that they missed out on discovering their full potential.I particularly think that beyond parents doing what they have to do,individuals should take responsibility for their lives.You are as old as you believe.It is never too late to be what you want to be,all you need most times is the willingness to do something.
The excuses,the years,the too many reasons and situations that have presented themselves to you with hard core evidence of why you must not progress are part of life realities.I remember my drawings and the stories I wrote about them.Each picture obeyed my little imagination,they acted exactly the part I gave them.It dawned on me once too,that I have the power to create my reality in life.There is no age limit to my progress in life...

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...

How can we share love in a world void of love?

As each day passes,I see that so many people do not understand what sharing love is all about.Just last night,I saw a man,not a boy.I mean a full fledged man beating up a lady just by the roadside as if she were some common thief.On inquiry,I discovered she was his girlfriend.Did I hear you say,what?!!!.mhnnn...the feeling is mutual,but come to think of it,he may have had a reason which he felt was good enough to beat her up.Someone may say no reason is good enough...chapter closed. I remember sharing with you earlier that every person has a reason for every action he/she takes,wether good or bad.If he had beat her to death,he will still have a reason for his action and he would engage the services of a lawyer who will readily defend him in the court of law.That's the kind of world we live in...simply void of love. You know,on television this morning,I just kept hearing the news on rape.In case you are thinking the victim may have caused it for herself,well sorry to diasppoint ...

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.
