New Year, Same Me, Better Approach!

I must begin by letting you guys know that I DO NOT ENJOY BLOGGING WITH BLOGSPOT ESPECIALLY TYPING DRAFTS VIA THE APP.

Twice now, I have made drafts that mysteriously disappeared. I am not pleased.

That said, HAPPY NEW YEAR.

Yesterday, I wrote a draft on the lessons I learnt in 2018 and a brief summary on a post I wanted to do about the ongoing Merger/Acquisition of Diamond Bank by Access bank.  I would no longer be writing about these things. Kindly excuse me...just blame blogspot.😐😑

It is a new year. And as with every new year, we make resolutions and plans and goals and many other things.

Anyways, I do not intend to dwell on resolutions exactly.

I began this year with my plans already made as far back as the first week of December.

Nonetheless, I didn't know I'd be sliding into a young man's DM to shoot my shot🙈 on the very first day of the year. It was fun while it lasted (at least for me).

You may want to ask if the shot was well fired...truth is, it wasn't. But I'm hoping to gain a friend from the encounter. I think I've got that shot on target.

I realised while musing within myself about how I decided to spend New year in a man's DM that I also began the year 2018 in another young man's DM. (No. I'm not like that. Whatever you are thinking. I just really enjoy making new friends).

His name is Ayodeji Abatan and he was a great inspiration all through the past year with his man on a mission campaign as well as other outreaches he had via the same platform.

You see? This shot thing helps create meaningful connections depending on who you shoot at.

In my first post last year, I blogged about how 2018 was a year to shoot shots. However, I've realised that all through life, it is necessary to give our best shot at the things we desire to have and own. So in 2019 and the years ahead, shots should be shot (Lol. I mean to say shoot your shot).

It is the new year again. Of course you have resolutions and goals and I hope you are focused enough to accomplish them.

I already started messing up one of my resolutions- to stop impulse buying. Only today, I bought a pair of Jeans and two sunglasses total unplanned for.😭

To have started breaking my resolutions on the very first day of the year is a poor sign already. But I cannot kill myself. So perhaps I will still remain an impulse buyer, I can work hard at reducing this impulse.

If like me, your resolutions are habits you think may be difficult to break, don't beat yourself up concerning it. Take the 'poco a poco' approach and work towards an improvement at least.

Happy New Year 2019. Cheers to exploring every opportunity. Cheers to daring. Cheers to subduing the fear of failure. Let's win!

    That's is the best we can actually do. Rather than spending time on blames.

Ibadan; My Ibadan

I love saying that I'm a Lagosian; at least staying in Lagos earns me that privilege. However, I just realised that it will be more apt to call me an Ibadan girl. Regardless of the bad stereotypes about Ibadan people, I have come to love and consider the beautiful city, characterised by its brown rusted roofs, as home. Before my official entry into Ibadan, it never really occurred to me that there was a city like this in Nigeria. Of course I knew it from the state and capital recitations, but it just never really registered in my mind (you know the way Jigawa or Gusau exists but you may not give much thought to it, because you haven't really considered going there). It's quite embarrassing now that I had such condescending thoughts about Ibadan even though I had once been to the city on a short visit to my uncle's place (his children were my favorite cousins at that time). Save for my uncle, I really did not know anyone in Ibadan then. My entry into Ibadan wa

Love and the expressions thereof

It has been a while since I penned my thoughts down. I really have been meaning to type up a post but my state of mind has been in shambles. I haven't even been able to read a book without getting tired or having roaming thoughts. I lost a dear brother towards the end of last month and the news hit me so bad. It wrecked me emotionally, psychologically and even spiritually. It took some time before I could even pray. I think I was angry at God. I still don't understand His ways but I trust His faithfulness. We rise stronger. We bless God that he is with Him in a place where joy continually exists. That said, I was inspired to write this blog post not just as a result of the feeling that is attached to this season- Valentine and love. Instead, the amazement  I feel at the depth of love I have towards people spurred me on. I do not exactly tell people I love them or even how deep my love for them is, as love is an overused term in our society and a member of the opposite sex m

The Crowd Effect

I have come to observe how slack people, in the midst of a crowd or in a group, react when faced with situations that require urgent help, especially as a result of what they think would become negative effects to their image or person. When you see someone bleeding out from the chest and  unable to move after getting impaled while rushing to work, what would be your immediate reaction? Would you think, "Tough Luck! Let me just go my own way because I didn't see anything" or would it be impossible for you to move on without trying to help? Mind you, this person has an immediate need which he cannot acquire for himself - immediate medical attention. Such assistance may be incriminating for the "good Samaritan" as the hospital would likely hand you over the authorities. Thus, being helpful in this instance becomes risky. In groups, people are more predictable when dealing with these situations. Usually it is understandable that most people already have a lot
