I have witnessed conversations of how people place curses on this nation and her leaders too many times. Though I correct such errors immediately, I can't help but shake my head at people who engage in such dastardly acts. We need to be responsible enough and do something. What can you do? You can START by praying… YES, pray; NO MATTER WHAT. It is Biblical to do so. I just hope this pandemic ‘era’ has really taught people that there is really NO PLACE LIKE HOME. The truth is there is nowhere else to go (when you dispute this, remember the truth is bitter). If you travel far and wide, it does not change the fact that THIS IS HOME. Okay, so our leaders are corrupt, greedy, self-seeking and the list is almost endless. But the question is: WILL CURSING THEM MAKE THINGS BETTER OR WORSE? When it is time to replace leaders, DO THE NEEDFUL! But for now, the fact that they are still in power: WHETHER YOU LIKE THEM OR NOT, PRAY FOR THEM! When you do that, by extension you are praying for yo

  MY EXPERIENCE I was feeling down emotionally yesterday and the Holy Spirit reminded me about a tablet I need to take. I asked what it was and He reffered me to one of the #videoseries on Life Skills Counsel titled 'Facing Your Challenges'. And for good measure I decided to add the 'Joy and happiness' series. Then, I felt so much better. Truly, what we listen to matters a lot (another reference; The 'What do you Listen to?' Series).

I title this post "life after The Pandemic" because during the period that this pandemic is ravaging, so many things are going wrong. Those 'things' are the issues I want to address. Before I proceed, I will like to apologize for not being able to post videos on Life Skills Counsel as much as I initially postulated on this platform. As they say "Life happens". So, my apologies once again. I proceed now, we have to do a self-reflection and ask ourselves, "how will life be for me after the Covid-19 Pandemic?" Ask yourself as only you can answer that question. Nevertheless, note that the things you are doing now is what determines the answer to that question. So many people are making enemies during this period, making enemies through their actions; forgetting that this time will pass. Remember, there is nothing that has a beginning that does not have an end. Coro (as it is nicknamed) is not going to be here forever. Live with the consciousness of tod

          ***************************************** BE HER FRIEND INSTEAD OF HER RIVAL, COMPETITOR OR ENEMY Parents, ESPECIALLY MOTHERS ought to be their daughter’s friend. Mum, your daughter needs you. You owe her the responsibility of being her confidant, her friend, her mentor and even her first go-to counsellor. If your daughter doesn’t come to you first before she goes to others, there is something wrong somewhere. To build the kind of relationship I painted above with her, you need to start from the basics; right from when she is still very young and tender. Create a beautiful relationship with her; let her know she can be free with you. Be an approachable mother. Be her first life skills teacher. Some mothers have given the ‘’she is stubborn’’, ‘’she doesn’t listen’’ speech as an excuse not to give the necessary guidance and counsel to their growing daughters. This does more harm than good. I must tell you at this juncture that NO EXCUSE IS GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU NOT TO PERFOR

Severally, I have heard of people talk of New Year Resolutions; especially at times like this when it's New Year. As much as having a new year Resolve is good. I think being a better you as you step into the new year will be more BENEFITING. This is simply because: THERE IS NO WAY YOU CAN DO THINGS DIFFERENTLY IF NOTHING HAS CHANGED ABOUT YOU. It all begins with you. Don't expect things to change if you are not ready to change. For example: If you wish to stop procrastinating and start doing what you ought to do at the right time, begin by working on the value you place on time. Are you a good time manager? If not, work on time management and self discipline and procrastination will become a thing of the past! For some, it may be that they need to value relationships more, others may need to work on anger issues, some may need to be more patient, some may need to be a better listener, and so on and so forth. Search yourself, whatever resolution you have written for the year ha

I hardly spend time on Instagram, but yesterday I found out that I lingered. Why? I didn't know too but I got to find out later. I saw many posts on a variety of issues during my 'adventures', but two major ones caught my eye. The first one was about: A lawyer who has been called to bar and was by the roadside working as a food vendor. It was obvious that she needed help and a lot of people had different things to say about the Nigerian situation and how it has caused her predicament. The one comment that caught my eye was the one that contains the statement "... there's no hope...". I had to bare my mind at that point (you know me na) that THERE'S ALWAYS HOPE FOR US IN THIS COUNTRY JUST LIKE THERE'S HOPE FOR A TREE THAT HAS BEEN CUT DOWN TO SPROUT AGAIN AT THE SCENT OF WATER. The second post that caught my attention was a video of 50cent where he explained how he sold vitamin water and made millions out of it. So someone said in the comment section
