Life is a journey and becoming better everyday is the goal. The more you grow, the better you become, remember this isn't about making yourself liked by others, it is about becoming someone you truly love and adore which will in turn attract the right people and opportunities into your life. Max Depree once said and I quote "We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are". I remember while growing up, I didn't really love myself, I used to feel intimidated, I was always scared of people, I wasn't really proud of myself, my physique and everything that made me up, so I used to keep to myself a lot, I lacked self-esteem, I don't keep friends, I shunned a whole lot of people out of my life not because I was a snub but because I felt they were all better off than I am and they were only trying to get close to me to mock me but the funny thing is people never saw it that way, they felt I was a snub, some felt I was rude, selfish, obnoxious, some p

The recent happenings in our society has intrigued me to write about this topic. As we all know that businesses, organizations has been exposed to debt especially the ones who don't have their businesses insured. Here I want us to discover the importance of insurance and why it plays a central role in your financial wellbeing, helping to provide financial security for you and your family when it is needed the most. There are so many things you can insure; you can insure your car, home, business etc. Insurance has evolved as a process of safeguarding the interesting of people from loss and uncertainty. It may be described as a social device to reduce or eliminate risk of loss to life and property. Insurance contributes a lot to the general economic growth of the society by providing stability to the functioning of process. The insurance industries develop financial institutions and reduce uncertainties by improving financial resources. I'll be listing the importa

This past week has been a black, bloody, distraught week for Nigerians. Lives and properties were lost, many were injured as armed security operatives asserted to be from the Nigerian Army, opened fire on peaceful protesters who were only demanding for better governance and an end to police brutality. This actually is a sad reality. It is one that has existed long before now and still defines how bleak the future of the country. I really can not say how true it is that the protesters were the ones that ended up looting both private and government properties and business, I b elieve it is hired political thugs and some other ignoramus are behind the looting. This is really disheartening because most of this private business owners who do not have the companies or business insured has been exposed to debt. I must say conflict and corruption have defined Nigeria so far and if care is not taken, will be the undoing of this country. Once again, question Nigeria's democracy. Should the

Yes I know recovering from sexual assault takes time and the healing process can be so painful but you can regain your sense of control, rebuild your self-worth and learn to heal. Sexual violence is shockingly common in our society, regardless of age or gender, the impact of sexual violence goes beyond any physical injuries. The trauma of being raped or sexually assaulted can be shattering leaving you so scared, ashamed, alone or plagued by nightmares, flashbacks and other unpleasant memories. The world doesn't feel like a safe place anymore. You no longer trust others, at a point you don't even trust yourself. You may question your self-worth, judgement and even your sanity. You may blame yourself for what happened or believe you are dirty. Relationships feel dangerous, intimacy impossible while some rape survivors become hyper-sexual or promiscuous. Do you

Yes, when was the last time you checked, on your distant cousin, old school mates, ex-bestie and others that you have not lost their contacts but have lost touch with? It is often saddening how the unending activities of life shifts our already divided attention and care away from those we love and share things in common with. We tend to remember them when Facebook notifies us of their birthdays, when we need their assistance, or when we hear of their death. Then, we begin to recall all the great memories we had with them in sweet emotion-arousing words, and praaaaa!, we split again, until the next cycle. With the rapid increase in suicide, depression and low self esteem rate, the COVID-19, business ownership and work stress and even the most recent nationwide protests, a phone call to catch up will just be fine. I charge you to check on someone today. Short sentences like ‘I just want to check up on you’, ‘Hope you are fine?, goes far long way than you can imagine. That just add more

Do you remember what you said to your high school friends 7years ago? Do you think they still do too? Well, don’t be surprised, they do! One of my best friends in high school chatted me up sometime ago after seeing a picture I uploaded on my WhatsApp status, and asked if it was someone (she mentioned name). I was surprised she knew the person, but, well, humans are likened to water and they can meet at any point. The shocker came with her reply of how I had told her something about the person during our high school years (that's 8 years ago!) Do you still need a reminder that your words are ageless and can live till eternity? Well, remember the quotes of icons, men and women who have died over 10 years ago, and read this post again, maybe you will you will agree with my assertion. Words, they say, are like eggs, which once broken cannot be amended to its original state. He who bridles his tongue, is a just man, says the Bible. Take cognizance of what you say, especially when it is

Hurray!!! Our dear nation Nigeria is 60. It's our independence Day; but the big question is are we really Independent or we just had a change of colonial masters from foreigners to same race colonialism. Today, Nigeria turns 60 and that's the age of retirement. As we celebrate today, let's take time to reflect on how far we've come even the Bible says "Teach me to number my days so I can apply my heart unto wisdom" It's time for Nigeria and Nigerians to be wise and retire properly.
