MY 2020 LIKE NO OTHER

. What's up wonderful readers? I promise to make this particular blog post an interesting one. Guys it's not easy o, 2020 has come and it is about to go  just like that . We will all agree that the year has been one to remember all our lives. Well in this post I'll be taking you month by month my experiences this year. I hope you enjoy it. JANUARY-  I, just like everyone else, entered the year 2020 with so much hopes and expectations. I remember how I stayed up late on New year's Eve, looking into the navy blue sky, counting down to 12.00 am with my family. There was a sparkle in my eye on New Year's Day as I wished almost anyone I came across "A Happy New Year" with a wide smile on my face almost reaching my eyes. It was a year I expected all dreams to be fulfilled. FEBRUARY- A month I set out to be the best in  my class, to defend my 'prefectship' ( it's not easy to be an SS 1 prefect in MGC). I was reading and more determined than before to ...

THE LATEST TREND IN NIGERIA

 End Sars! End Sars!!  End Sars!!! is what i have been seeing lately on the road, on the internet and almost everywhere I look. Come to think of it some people shouting "ENDSARS" don't even know what Sars is. Well this post is to enlighten you on who SARS officials are and what SARS is all about. At the end of this post I Hope you must have learnt something and know were you stand on this matter . WHAT  IS SARS  The Special Anti-Robbery Squad ( SARS ) is a Nigerian  Police Force unit  under the  Force  Criminal Investigation and Intelligence Department headed by the Deputy Inspector General of  Police  Anthony Ogbizi was  founded   in 1992 by former police commissioner Simeon Danladi Midenda. The major reason   SARS   was   formed   was when Col. Rindam, a   Nigerian   Army Colonel was killed by police officers at a checkpoint in Lagos.  (MY POV : The irony is that it was founded because an ar...

NIGERIA @ 60 : ARE WE PROGRESSING OR RETROGRESSING

Image
    Hmmm,  This is a milestone in the history of Nigeria but nothing to show for it as a country. Today i heard someone speak with so much sarcasm about this mile stone " Happy independence, Nigeria at sixty but still at pont zero". What hurt me the most about this statement was that there was some kind of truth to it, as much as i would to deny it. I don't know whether to be happy or sad that my beloved country Nigeria. The successful  individuals have to  be commended because they  deserve it but the government i can not say as much.   Nigeria at sixty and we have not still identified our problem. Is this a course to celebrate? I think not, Nigeria is a shadow of what it used to be in the early 70's and 80's. The so disciplined and organised Nigeria is no were to be found, the country with 24/7 power supply, the country were those  in government had the interest of the people at heart. The Nigeria of my parents, with clean streets . It saddens m...

BEING A BLACK GIRL - OUR STRENGTH IN OUR WEAKNESS

Image
 "When others sit ; we stand , When others stand ; we stand out , When others stand out; WE ARE THE EMPERORS.  " As fragile as a bomb and not as a flower ". These words are all that come to mind when i think of a black girl or woman.  We are strong, both emotionally and physically. We are fighters , who go against all odds to achieve what we want. We have to fight for everything, nothing comes easy but what makes us unique is despite all the trouble and hardship, there is always a smile on our face.  It difficult being these two things (  being black & being a girl )  for different reasons. RACISM AND GENDER INEQUALITY are one of the main reasons. They are  fast growing in our society and it our duty as individuals to curb the spread of these "psychological virus" because there is no vaccine.  It is our individual responsibility to put and end to this to make the world a better place. According to Melanne .S. Vervee  " When w...

BE THE BEST YOU BECAUSE THERE IS NO OTHER YOU

   It is not easy being the "not so cool girl" who doesn't have many friend, it is not easy being "just that girl" who is barely noticed, not is easy being the girl always "caught unfresh". The girl whose followers on her social media platforms is not something to brag about, the girl with the weird smile, the stiff body, no dance moves , the worst of all "ACNE AND PIMPLES ALL OVER HER FACE" and other possibly negative things you can think about. I realized it is not all that that matters, don't envy peoples lives because you don't know what they are going through, no ones life is perfect , just forget all the perfect lives you see on Instagram, some just slay for the gram meanwhile they are going through hell or they are going through the wrong means. Everyone got their problems and the faster you start realize you have to start making lemonades with the lemons life has thrown at you, the better for you. Being You To The Full ; are t...

THIS IS ALL ME

Image
This post was well thought of by me, because we all have different personalities,and sometimes we are afraid to be who we  are because of what people might say or think.We worry about what people think about us, we try to change who we are to make people feel good about themselves. Let's accept us for us, regardless of what others think. When we start loving ourselves for "who we are", people will love us for  us. This year 2020 has been my year of self discovery and Sofiyat Aderonke Ibrahim a.k.a the oddity, has been a big part of it. She has thought me to be proud of my insecurities, and be the best me I can be not for anybody else but myself. Below are images that describe meπŸ˜‚πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜„ Also look for images that describe you. This is me and this is a lot of us, Smile and proclaim who you are regardless of what the world might think. NO ONE KNOWS YOU BETTER THAN YOU This is true ☺☺😊. Not all of us can take nonsense because when you beginning to tolerate unacceptable things ...

MY DREAM FOR NIGERIA

  A young child with many dreams I am,   a child who dreams of a great Nigeria,   a Nigeria with sufficient infrastructure for technology to thrive,   a Nigeria where anybody regardless of ethnicity, religion and social background can become somebody ,   a Nigeria with discipline,   a Nigeria where true democracy is not enslaved , a terrorist free Nigeria, a corruption free Nigeria, a Nigeria with leaders who have the interest of Nigerians at heart, a Nigeria practicing federalism, but most of all I crave, I dream of a Nigeria where every child is giving the right to a whole education, , I dream of a Nigeria where the girl child is giving equal right as the male child , a Nigeria where she is given the right to air her opinion, a Nigeria where she is given the right to an education like her brothers without being condemned to the kitchen. I dream of a Nigeria that is appreciated by all Nigerian’s regardless of social standings. The late Obafemi  ...
