Fathers Day

Honoring the Role of Fathers, And Embracing Their Humanity. Today, we celebrate fathers — not for being perfect, but for showing up, trying, dedicating, correcting, restructuring and loving in the best ways they know how. Being a father is not just about provision. It’s about presence. Being a father is in guidance, the silent sacrifices, the silent prayers, the long days and even longer nights trying to meet up and show you care. It’s in the moments where they don’t have the answers but still choose to stand firm, for their families. Yes cause it all count. Fathers have flaws. They don’t always get it right cause they are not perfect and no one is perfect. Sometimes, they carry pain they’ve never been taught how to express. But great men aren't those without fault — but those with the willingness to grow, to apologize, to try again. To every father reading this: Your role matters. You are seen. Your strength counts — but so does your softness, your voice, your vulnerability. A...

PMS (Premenstrual Syndrome)

I was surprised when I found out not quite a lot of people know what “PMS” means.... PMS stands for Premenstrual Syndrome.

But here is what you would do to make the process a lot less painful; Drink enough water. Romanticise your rest. It can be annoying I know. Take your magnesium. Wear loose clothes. And please stop arguing with people durin...

THE POWER OF VISUAL STORY TELLING

There’s Power in Pictures—Here’s Why Visual Storytelling Works
In a fast-paced, hyper-digital and Gen-Z world, it’s easy to be dazzled by great personalities, clever ideas, and well crafted resumes. But when we look at things closely or when you've happen to work with teams, industries, and time zones, you'll come to realize that one underrated skill often set high-performers apart: 👉 COMMITMENT We've all known or seen people who can pitch great ideas in the boardroom like pros. They speak with confidence, paint the exact visions of what you want, and energize the room with their possibility mindset. They have smooth delivery of ideas, sharp tongue, great ambition. But as the days pass and the excitement fades, what often determines their real impact isn't what they promised—it's what they delivered. But the ones who gain lasting respect? They're the ones who keep their promises, big or small. Why "COMMITMENT" Matters Trust: When colleagues know you'll do what you say—on time and without excuses—it builds a t...

Things Won’t Get Cheaper — You Have to Get Richer

If we are being honest to ourselves, we would see that prices aren’t getting cheaper or going down anytime soon. From food items to house rent to children upkeep to fuel, the cost of living and so on, It's so surreal that these things are on a steady incline. And it’s easy to feel surprised by this new development, but here’s a heavy truth we need to embrace: “Things won’t get cheaper. You have to find a way to get richer.” You can complain about the cost of living — or you can level up. "Choose your medicine".  This isn’t about being selfish, it’s about surviving, having financial stability, and freedom.  The world we live in today is changing so fast, and the best thing to do for ourselves and family is to stop complaining and get used to it. And this means you: * Increasing your earning potential — earning more from what you do.  * Diversifying your income — building extra streams of income.  * And leveling up your skills  — learning sk...

FATHERS not fathers (Kids need Role Models)

  “Kids need their father.” You’ve probably heard this phrase before, or maybe even said it yourself. And if you look at it on the surface, it sounds noble. But it doesn't make sense when you look at it from a different angle. The honest truth is: Kids don’t just need fathers — they need engaged, loving, healthy, carefree, present, consistent role models, and loving example of what a father should be, one  who show up emotionally, mentally, and physically. That can mean: Unconditional love and support Positive discipline and guidance Active involvement in their lives A safe, stable environment Examples of respect, empathy, and responsibility Encouragement to grow into their unique selves Because a title without substance doesn’t nourish a soul. A presence without care can still leave a child feeling abandoned. And an unstable father often passes down wounds instead of wisdom. We don’t talk about this enough. We don’t talk enough about the dads who are physica...

A LETTER TO MY EX💔

   It’s hard to let go, so harder than one can imagine. But that's not the hardest part, the hardest part is knowing when to walk away, for your sake and for the sake of those you love. People grow, they evolve, their dreams change, and sometimes that means that they have to part ways, no matter how much it hurts. I still care about you, but I know that we can never go back to what we used to be no matter how much I wish for that. We were two young people trying to force something that wasn’t meant to last forever. Maybe we was just too young, too different, too caught up in the idea of love instead of focusing on what it really takes to make it work. We would fight, argue and get so angry at each other that the words we would say in those god forsaken moments cut deeper than we ever cared to admit. I remember giving everything but it wasn’t enough somehow. And you feeling so exhausted cause you felt you were doing too much.   I stayed up all night trying to figure where ...

The Reflection of Good Friday.

“It is finished.” – John 19:30  Three words that changed everything. Good Friday, the words themselves carry a weight, a solemnity that resonates through the ages. It's a day marked in history, a day of sorrow and sacrifice yet, a day brimming with  bright hope. It's a day we remember the ultimate act of love, the selfless giving of Christ on the cross, that it wasn't the end but a doorway to eternity. This isn't just a religious holiday; it's a pivotal moment in human history.  While Christmas often echoes with the phrase, “Jesus is the reason for the season,” it’s just as true—perhaps even more profound—on Good Friday. This day marks the ultimate act of love and sacrifice. It’s a day that reminds us not just that Christ came, but why He came. He came to save. He came to reconcile. He came to bear our sins and give us life eternal. It's not a fiction but  a story of redemption, of forgiveness, and of the unwavering love of a divine being for his crea...

Self-Fulfilling Prophecy

Today I want us to dive into an engrossing concept that affects our day to day lives more than we might realize or dare to admit: Th e self-fulfilling prophecy. It might sound complex, but trust me, it’s something we can all relate to in one way or another.  Now lets get into it;  self-fulfilling prophecy is a psychological notion where a belief or expectation about a situation or person causes behaviors that make the belief come true. This belief  disrupt our relationship with people, For instance, if you believe no one will love you or stay in your life, you might push people away—confirming your belief. Likewise, if you believe you are lovable, you act with confidence and attract love. It’s like a circle  that what we expect often shapes what actually happen to us.  This is how the circle works: Expectation:   You have a belief or expectation about a situation or person. Behavior:  This belief influences your behavior, knowingly or subconsciously....

Relationship Impact: How Our Actions Shape Our Partner’s Future Relationships.

DO YOU KNOW EVERY RELATIONSHIP IS ASEED SOWN? In every relationship, we leave imprints—some positive, some negative. The way we treat our partners affects not just our connection with them but also how they approach relationships in the future. Whether we realize it or not, our words, action, behaviors, and emotional responses become part of their story, influencing their ability to trust, love, and engage with others in the future. Every experience in a relationship contributes to the way someone views love and intimacy. A supportive, healthy partnership can help build confidence, emotional resilience, and a sense of security. On the other hand, consistent neglect, dishonesty, or toxic behaviors can lead to deep-seated fears, insecurities, or trust issues that carry forward into their next relationships. Building or Breaking  Trust  Trust is one of the most delicate aspects of any relationship. If a person experiences betrayal, constant criticism, or emotional manipulation, t...

When the Past Haunts the Present: Overcoming the Impact of Negative Memories

We all carry memories with us—some sweet, others bitter. Some are etched in our hearts as reminders of beautiful moments, while others linger as shadows from a time we’d rather forget. BAD MEMORIES , whether from past mistakes, lost opportunities, something we wish we could erase or painful experiences, can feel like chains holding us back. They have the power to consume our thoughts, prevent us from moving forward, and keep us stuck in the past. "Have you ever found yourself reliving a regret or a failure over and over again, even though the event happened years ago?" Maybe you catch yourself thinking about a hurtful experience from your past, and no matter how hard you try, it seems impossible to shake. Perhaps you’ve noticed that these memories are shaping your actions today—your decisions, relationships, your choices and even your happiness. It’s as if your past is constantly weighing on you, dictating your present and future. But what if you didn’t have to stay stuck ...

The Ripple Effect of Heartbreak: Why you should think twice before breaking someone's heart

  Heartbreak is a debilitating and consuming emotional experience that can leave a person feeling shattered, lost, less of themselves and vulnerable. When a romantic relationship ends, especially if it was intense or long-term, the emotional impact can be severe and hard to come back from. Emotional turmoil and vulnerability are core factors that suffice after an intense breakup. So before breaking up with someone you should consider what your actions would cause on them, Don't just end things with people on bad terms: instead seek more appropriate ways that would cause less hurt and damage to them.  Heartbreak can cause a chain of reactions, so its essential to handle breakup with care: most persons are fragile and can't handle the aftermath of heartbreak, but your approach to ending things can make it hurt less. THE PAIN OF HEARTBREAK -  Heartbreak can trigger a deep sense of loss, intense grief, sadness and emotional numbness: causing insomnia, changes in appetite, fat...

Older you!

 The older you get the more accountability is demanded from, not just from people but from yourself too. Life is way much easier in high school or as a teenager, but it doesn't always stay that way. Once you've pasted that stage, their are lots of expectation from you, people expect a lot from you and you expect a lot from yourself too. Well it not the same for everybody, a lot of persons are forced to be adult even before they are ready. But we're not always ready, are we? Adulthood does not come with expectations alone, it comes with lessons, laughter, high demand, yes and no's, success, failures, pain, ambitions, dreams and many more. Not just that, with growth come a lot of increase in standards, and heights you want to attain for yourself, goals you want to achieve and reward you want to give yourself. How well you prepare yourself determine how far you would go. So in all you do time is of essence, "Any time lost cannot be saved" even the b...

Sis! you are all of that

I have learnt so far that in relationship or friendship or courtship, no matter how beautiful or smart or sexy or loving or caring or understanding you are, you would never be enough for him, if is not you he wants. So enduring poor treatment from this men. Sis, is not on you that your man is a bitch or a cheater or a liar, stop blaming yourself for the things this men do. if he loves you enough you wont tell him how to treat you. Men do know how to show love, if they love you they wont make you beg for their love. You are " all of that" and you deserve to be loved and treated the way you  want, so don't give into the mentally of the society and settle for less.

Everyone has vulnerability.

Everyone has vulnerability, no matter how big or small of a person you're. Some persons are just good at hiding their vulnerability, so you don't get to see pass the facade they put up. Some people are also harnessing their own vulnerability and making it the best part of them. Having vulnerability is not a bad thing, having vulnerability makes you human. You can't shy away from your vulnerability because they're what makes you special, they make you unique and distinguish you from others. Not everyone is comfortable with their vulnerability and tend to hide it cause not everybody understands those vulnerability. Yea, not everyone understands, but you can turn those vulnerability to be the best thing about you. Let me give you an instance;  There is this cast "Klaus" from "vampires diary's and The original". They're TV series that intertwines together. At first a lot of people hated Klaus Cause of his thoughtless and disastrous deeds but he l...

Letting Go

Letting go is one thing everybody finds difficult, no matter your position. And we fail to understand that life is about finding the balance between holding on and letting go.  We find ourselves in situations we don't like because we refuse to let go even when we know it the right thing to do. We find it difficult to let go in friendships and relationships, because we believe we've invested a lot of our emotions, time, and energy, and the more we invest, the harder it is to let go. I know how hard it is, but ask yourself is it doing you any good, the lying, disrespect, cheating, heartbreaks and all are they worth it. Often times we turn a blind eye to this issues with hope that they might change, or start to treat you better, but as time goes on the damage becomes more severe and you find yourself stuck at a crossroad not knowing whether to let go or not. You save yourself a lot of pain and mental troubles when you know when to let go, don't let the ...

People Treat You The Way You Treat Yourself

A wise person once said "You're a product of your imagination". So just imagine what you think of yourself, is that how you want people to see you? Are happy with the current level you've placed yourself in your imagination. There's no way you would think low of yourself and expect someone to think highly of you. Don't get me wrong I'm no saying you should lie or act like what you're not or fake lifestyle like some folks out there, that's not what I'm saying. What I'm saying is give yourself a benefit of doubt, don't let people walk all over you in the name of friendship or relationship. Some persons end up in ill relationship because they think it's the best they can get, they feel no one can love them as their current partner or friends do, most times they think it's the best thing that would ever happen to them so they end up being a punch bag for an angry partner or an emotional dump for a selfish friend. You need to learn t...

Hapi new year lovely people Yes! it's a new year and as always we've all made our new year's resuolution. Right? Most people call it new year new me, whereas some person say it's new year old me. Sometimes we tend to undermine the power of the new year's resolution or the part the new year's resolution plays in shaping you into a new person. The essence of new year's resolution, is to enable us set goals for the year, and also help us checkmate our last year's g oal and see how far we went to accomplishing them. But often times we don't get the memo and do this the worng way. So in this post I would teach you how to do this the right way. In setting your goals for every year you would have to; 1.   Set realistic goals: Before setting goals make sure you've had the time to do some self reflection, yes! a deep one, the purpose of this is to know what you love or like doing or what you want to see yourself doing and set goals that align with this p...
