WHEN LIFE GOES THE OTHER WAY ROUND.


  #rantchallenge

Looking at things this way: The citizens of Nigeria would not be this mad if things went the other way round;

● If fuel didn’t skyrocket from #450 to #900.

● If the highest currency in the country could still feed a family for a day or two.

● If common sachet water did not have to cost #50 for each.

● If the reason for removing fuel subsidy was maintained (to invest more in the educational and health sector) but mind you, school fees and hospital bills keep on leaving citizens in a state of dilemma.

 ● If the price of accommodation is not pushing people to rather stay out in the slums because the houses are not even worth the price anymore!!!

● If a bare minimum way of living (traveling by air, buying yourself a crate of eggs, subscribing a monthly plan e.t.c.) is considered luxury.

● If the cost of living in the country is not threatening to kill the living.

● If a #10,000 monthly allowance could still sustain a student.

● If education, and not connection remained the key to success.

● If a graduate completes SERVING the country and finds a job IN LINE WITH HIS FIELD OF STUDY.

● If after reading for my exam in LASU, I do not get struck with the realization that I do not have transport fare to take me to and fro my exam venue.

● If the value of minimum wage still has its worth.

● If the cost of transportation (road or air) could still be bargained.

● If #5,000 could still last just an individual for a week or more.

● If a bag of rice could be bought for #8,500 or even lesser.

Dear Excellency Tinubu, a hungry man is an angry man and if an administration is meant to be messed up, it does not have to get to the point where food and water are also deprived the citizens. Nigerians, both young and old, rich or poor, are all tired…

To 2026🥂

You see, I usually laugh to myself when I hear people talk about new year resolutions. It sounds somewhat unserious to me and I’d like us to understand something… so long as nothing extraordinary or supernatural happens to mark a new year, then it’s just another new day we celebrate based on our calculations (the calendar) and if indeed you really need to act upon a new resolution, you really don’t have to wait till “a new year”. But in as much as not everyone would agree with this, I’d like to put you through on how to go about your new year resolution(s): First, IT DOESN’T HAVE TO BE BIG: when most people are setting their new year resolutions, they often tend to ignore small goals and aim for way bigger ones, unknowing to them that small wins lead to even bigger ones. When you choose to overlook the small goals, which in some cases, may be stepping stones to achieve your bigger goals, you tend to not achieve the goals you set which would leave you wondering how and why. That is why...

SUICIDAL ELIMINATION

I happen to be a person who can't comprehend suicide. That a person has the guts to not only get the thought of it but also act upon the thought overwhelms me and it is why I would always try to make people understand that there is a huge difference between mere sadness and depression... reference to my "you are not depressed, you are just sad" post. I'd say depression is a very severe form of sadness caused by a lot of *REAL LIFE* happenings to a person.  You see, a person thinking of suicide and acting upon it wouldn't or doesn't rather, wish to die. They look for a way to escape the unbearable pain and suffering they go through and in the absence of any, they find death as the ONLY escape route. Deep down, there is always the wish for another alternative but then, studies show that hopelessness is a very strong predictor of suicide.  In a situation where I'm in a race and suddenly experience muscle fatigue for a few seconds, I have two options on my min...

FAITH OR LIFE

  Sometime ago, I think published an article on religious bondage and I felt fulfilled speaking out on such controversial topic because it really used to piss me off… but up until some days ago, where a woman was trendy due to the fact that she happens to be under the shackles of her belief and her fellow believers. (Story time) Apparently, she had been sick a while ago, and rather than using a medical method to treat herself, she opted for a “traditional” means. This traditional means made her health get worse to the extent of having a very huge sore on her breast. She then decided to come online (on X, formerly twitter) to ask for assistance (medical and maybe financial). Being a person a lot of X users knew, due to the fact she was a real and legit hustler, about 30 million naira was raised for her health issues within 3 days… everyone really wanted her to get out of the sick bed and continue being AUNTY ESTHER.  First of all, protocols had to be observed and a form of cons...
