SPEAKING OUT AGAINST OPPRESSION AS YOU NURSE AMBITION TO EXPLORE THE WORLD

-

 


Frankly, many Nigerians still live in this country because they have limited options. Those with means, either live abroad permanently or live here to do business. 

Of course, we have such lovely weather and our culture is great and diverse. However,  beyond that, we are seriously lagging behind. Nigerians are very intelligent people and little wonder we shine so bright in the diaspora where the opportunities to do so are available.

Today is not the day to hype Nigeria as the place second to none; where milk and honey flows. Today is about doing something to prevent our corrupt leaders from eating up this country-because I'm telling you, they will eat this entire country up. Today is about speaking out! 

1. We are speaking out against government officials allocating social infrastructure projects to themselves through sham companies. 

2. We are speaking out against civil servants at every level demanding kickbacks from contractors. 

3. We are speaking out against police brutality. In a country where the government does nothing to support you socially, the least they can do is ensure your safety. 

4 . We are speaking out against hospital health directors embezzling allocated hospital funds. 

5. We are speaking out against civil servants frustrating Nigerians into giving them bribes to do their jobs. 

6. We are speaking out against poor governance. It takes a genius to lead a country of very smart people. 

7. We are speaking out against an electoral process that intentionally disenfranchises many Nigerians. 

8. We are speaking out against incompetence. Our leaders are not doing enough compared to what Nigeria pays them. 

9. We are speaking out against poor due diligence. You know a country sinks so bad when the head of the country's anti-corruption agency is allegedly accused of being corrupt. 

10. Lastly, we are speaking up against extreme poverty. You are improvising this country on a daily basis through sharp practices.

So fellow Nigerians, as you nurse ambition for better opportunities in other countries, let's remember that we must demand a better Nigeria. It is not illegal to demand accountability and true transparency from our government. 

 Speak out! #sorosoke

STEPHEN DUNEIER'S STRATEGY FOR ACHIEVING GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS LEVEL SUCCESS IS SO EASY, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE .

I really want you to watch Stephen Dunier's Ted talk, How to Achieve Your Most Ambitious Goals. That's the essence of this blog post in a nutshell.  His Ted talk is actually one of the most important items on my motivational playlist because it reminds me that putting time into work, pays off in the long run. He specifically alluded to the fact that little drops of water make a mighty ocean. That is, even if you spend little time on a task, as long as you are consistent, and you make marginal improvements over time,  you'd achieve your goal.   Again, his strategy is simple. Break down a project into small manageable tasks that you can complete in 20 minutes and once the allotted time is up, you take a break. After which you come back to do some more work which could even be on another project. That is, you work in bouts and take frequent breaks.  Not to take away from the message of this article, but the truth is that this strategy wouldn't work for everyone. Or you mig

IMAGINE MESSING UP A BIG BREAK, YUP THAT HAPPENED TO ME ONCE. HERE'S WHAT I LEARNT!

A few years ago, I did a styling gig for a major boutique brand in Lagos and it flopped! The next day I couldn't get out of bed because I could not believe how bad I messed up.   After that incident, I took a break from fashion styling for about six months. I would have quit for good if not for my fashion designer sister who asked me to style her summer collection a few months later. The summer collection went on to be a hit and I've continued styling since then.  We have all experienced setbacks before. At work, at home, and in our various relationships. I've had my fair share as well.  However, being unable to accept the fact that something unbecoming happened to us, is the worst thing we can do to ourselves.  No one is promised a life free of adversity or challenges. So being in denial of our shortcomings would prevent us from growing. Looking back, I realize that I couldn't deal with the embarrassment of failing even after I had taken responsibility for my work.  Ho

BG REACTIONS: THE SILHOUETTE CHALLENGE

I really love the silhouette challenge. Maybe I'm a low-key bad boy. But I know for certain that I'm not alone here. Despite the fact that the challenge has been met with so much backlash from men and women, more and more people are participating. The silhouette challenge basically involves one switching from a robe or PJ into lingerie while dancing to Paul Anka's "Put Your Head On my Shoulder". The Silhouette is created by a crimson red Snap Chat filter available on the mobile App.  Why is this challenge bursting my head?  1. It's the fact that a song from 1959 makes a come back in the year 2021! Up until yesterday, I had never heard of a Paul Anka. It's also very heartwarming that he's alive to experience all of this. And really, from the looks of Paul's website, it seems the old man is also going with the flow.  "Life is Short, Art is long" is something I say a lot. And I know for certain, that art never really goes away. It is always
