FREE SEMINAR, Please!

I was flipping through the pages of this and last Tuesday's The Guardian (Nigerian newspaper) and I was very excited to see a bunch of empowering seminars to take place within the week, next month, and before the year runs out.

However, my excitement was only for like 3 minutes. Why?! Well, you should take a look as well #ConfusedFace#

Then again, why don't I just tell you. What's with all the fees? Why wasn't there a free seminar? Why aren't the seminars and talks free, anywayz?! I really don't understand. Or was I looking in the wrong national paper?!

And can I add, these fees weren't like a regular N1, 000 - N5, 000. No! They were borderline N 0.02 mil - N 0.15 mil (as everything in naija is in millions now. :p hahaha!)

I wanna attend a nice seminar. Sit amongst great minds. Feel inspired. Get empowered. Exhibit Responsibility!

:-w no faiiiirrrrrrrrrr...

M-Pact Dis!

I would like to start a new trend, if y'all don't mind. I call it M-Pact (impact) Dis. Basically, I would love for everyone to go out into the week with a more positive attitude. Do something you never do on a regular (or done before).

Feed a blind man/woman. Help children/ the elderly cross the road. Give way to people when driving. Teach someone something new and important. Stop an (avoidable) accident from happening. Do something nice for your parents/ siblings. Give someone a hug. Smile at someone frowning. Tell someone "I love you" (please, only do this with no weird intentions involved...it's more effective this way : p #noCreepers).

You can always come back here and leave a comment, however I'll always bring this up every Sunday so that we can all share with each other and learn from each other. Impact one another. [Make a Change ;) yea baby!]

P/S: Let's make it real cool too #'CosThatzHowIRollz#
After your comment on what achievement you made, end with the phrase "M-Pact Dis!"
Makes it like a dare, a challenge, for someone to do better or just as much.

And I end by saying, I LOVE YOU ALL and God bless us all (hence, no freaking suicidal tots for the week o #smh).

M-PACT DIS! ;)

THINGS MUST CHANGE (2)

Hope everyone had a fantastic weekend and great Sunday.

I just love Sundays. Probably because I love to go to church and get greatly inspired. Though I dread that Monday is just a few hours away (curse you Monday!!!), but just the mere fact that I still have these few hours...and it's Sunday :), gets me by.

So today again, I got inspired with the "Making a Change" topic. Last Sunday, I mentioned a few things that need to be worked on [refer back to June 3 post]. The continuation to that would be:

Fourthly, our POLITICS AND LEADERSHIP must change. I used to be a believer of politics being a dirty game, but the truth of the matter is we do not have the right people in it. We (who want positive change) need to get involved. Ask questions; Demand answers; Assist anyway we can; Work together.


Fifth, our LOVE FOR ONE ANOTHER must change. It's as simple as this "do unto others as you would like done unto you." If you know you would get mad if someone cuts you in traffic, then don't cut someone else....Geez!

Sixth, our EMPHASIS ON LIFE must change. Learn to cling onto the things that are good, necessary, and important not onto things that we merely desire. Don't fight over who's got the longer hair extensions #RollingEyeballs# or save all your hard earnings on this one expensive car you end up turning into a show (not to be driven but admired from a distance). Truth be told, when you pass on, what would you be remembered by?! What will you take along with you?! #SaidSarcastically: That'sWhatITot#
Give things the proper value people. It's honestly what you give to others that has greater value.

Lastly (before I finally send everyone to sleep : p lol), our OUR VIEW OF LIFE AND ETERNITY must change. Live a simple life and keep things simple.

I tell you, our country/ community/ situation will change ONLY because YOU/ I decide to change.

Make your decision NOW!

(P/S: I'm not a pastor oh : p but we all need to hear this and I'm making a change by openly sharing and spreading this message out there).
Good luck with everything and stay POSITIVE :)

Laff IT Off - Frat broda!

Times mustta gotten real hard :D. If this is your fellow frat brother, stretch out a helping hand. It's the "brotherhood" thing to do.
Came across this guy on a street off Awolowo road, Ikoyi (Lagos, Nigeria).

Hmmm... I hope this shirt isn't Aba-made o (i.e. Made in China hehe!) Does this frat really exist?!

Be Stupid (for change)

Diesel is genius for its latest ad campaigns. It's geared towards fashion but it is applicable in all areas of life... (and I love it <3)

"Smart sees what is, Stupid sees what could be. Stupid may fail, Smart doesn't even try. BE STUPID!"

Definitely NOT this kinda stupid 

Or this. I hope this isn't even true. WTF?!

Pardon me, but this is gonna be more of a picture kinda message. To show that there are other concerned folk out there (in case you are one with us).

THINGS MUST CHANGE!

I hate it when my friends abroad make (negative) comments about home. We do this, We don't do this. We are backwards and will never move forward, We are corrupt, etc.

Maybe we are. But what are you doing about it?! Don't you think you are somewhat the reason we are not improving?! Negative comments and abandonment never fixed anything though.

So, basically in church today I got an epiphany. I do agree things need to change but the major question is where to start from? The reason things have not changed [in Nigeria] is because we (yes! you and I) have refused to accept to change things. We are too cynical...and that NEEDS to change.

First, we must change OUR LIVES. Stop living like money is everything. Believe it or not, there was actually a time we didn't need visas to go to other countries. And there were times when N 500 gave you about 400 pounds.
[Honor is much more greater than money...'cause when you get money, you'll eventually use it to get honor]

Second, we must change OURSELVES. Individuals must change. People no longer have values or teach values. Children and young adults have no one to look up to (in a positive light). We must regain values: know right from wrong, be respectful, be kind, be positive.

Third, if you are a Christian, you need to understand that our Christianity must change. How can non-Christians admire Christ, but have negative views on us, CHRISTians?! We do not need to compete against each other. We need to stop segregation within the house of God. We need to remember to focus on getting souls for Christ/ saving souls, rather than buying the most expensive somethings that'll end up not being used as often as you brush your teeth.

Change needs to come from me. It needs to come from YOU. What can you do to make a change in your community?! If one man (Martin Luther King Jr) could Have A Dream, why can't 5...10...200...1 million of us?!

P/S: R.I.P. to all the lost souls from the Dana airlines catastrophe (and nationwide). May your families, loved ones, and friends find comfort at this point in time.
Accept it or not...But It Shall Be Well.
                   (Have a great week everyone; as you practice patience, love, kindness, and gratitude)
                                                                                    xoxo

Zombiessss...Where?!

Happy New Month everyone :)

So, I'm happy May is over because too much weirdness happened in that month. The most bizarre of them all is this new ZoMbIe apocalypse that seems to be resurRECTING from all angles.

hmmm...

So there was the incident that happened not too long ago in Miami, Florida. It was reported on the 29th of May, that a man by the name of Rudy Eugene (31 years old) was repeatedly growling like an animal as he chewed at the face of his victim.
