Hi people, goodness me I cannot believe it's been this long since I wrote or even posted. I do apologize for the gaps, but you see, adulting has had me in a tight chokehold. There doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day for me to get everything done, and there's definitely enough time for me to rest like I would and even when I do try to get a lie down and rest, my mind and brain then decide to do fun activities and everything but rest.
I'm a bundle of randoms and that's what this blog would be about. I also drive an online initiative called #AllHeartsAlways, which is simply a call for everyone to care for the needy around us, always.

I STILL Better Pass My Neighbour!???
Dear Readers,
Would you believe that I wrote the post below since 2014? How time flies indeed. Alas, little or NOTHING has changed since I wrote this post. People are even more self-absorbed and have become more ridiculous in their manners and attitudes. The worst part is that the betrayal that comes with this selfishness usually comes from the closest friends and families rather than strangers even.
Truth be told, I feel a lot of these craziness is driven by the unnatural desire to get rich quickly by any means possible thus showing that you are indeed better than everyone else. To what end, you wonder? I have not the foggiest clue, but I know that such mindsets are destructive and unsustainable.
Some of you might have heard the news of the 22-year-old nanny that stole the baby of her employer and ran away a few days ago. That news proper stressed me out, but I just kept praying the poor wee baby would be found safe and in good time. Imagine learning the nanny was apprehended a few days ago, questioned and confessed to selling the baby off to a buyer for N800,000!! A whole child that the mother carried for ten months and laboured over being sold off like a piece of furniture because some people's twisted minds thought it would be a good scheme to get rich. Gosh.
Thankfully, as of today, the baby has been found while the search is still on for the buyer and possibly the cartel behind this madness. We all need to do better as human beings and make this world a better and more comfortable place for everyone.
Please enjoy the oldie but goodie piece below and do have a beautiful week ahead.

Seriously guys, who coined the slogan I-better-pass-my-neighbour? I would like to meet the person and pick their brains for a while. For those readers from outside Nigeria, the small petrol power generating set is what is referred to by some Nigerians as I-better-pass-my-neighbour. The generator is quite small and makes little noise and can only power bulbs and fans and a few small machines.
It is fairly affordable and thus accessible to the lower- and middle-class citizens. Some people own at least one of these smaller generators and an average sized one that can power equipment such as the freezer, refrigerator, washing machine and air conditioners. By now I'm sure foreigners are wondering if they are reading right. Yes dears, you are. We, the wonderful citizens of Nigeria, have to provide our own power supply individually. Those who cannot afford these generators, have to do without power until the power companies find it in their dear hearts to provide such. Sigh.
Anyway, this post is not about them today. Rather it is about the selfish nature of some Nigerians who think they have "arrived" by owning an I-better-pass-my-neighbour or anything such might connote. I find the name and mentality very distasteful and a tad too cocky. What makes you think you are better than those who cannot afford an item? If you go around with such a mentality, then it simply means you won't help the less privileged when they are in need because you are better than them.
RME.
We must love and help our neighbours as often as we can without getting weary of reaching out. That one is privileged today doesn't mean one should act out, especially when no one knows tomorrow.
I rest my case.

A New And Different Year
Happy new year everyone. If you are reading this, I truly rejoice with you for making it this far on earth because the past few years have felt like there's an irrational person ticking names off a living people's list at every slight whim. Life felt like some weird survival game but hey, we made it through.
This new year, I aim to take a different approach towards life, living and people relations. Life isn't getting easier, people aren't learning to be better as they should and for empaths like me, it is very daunting and stressful so this year, we are switching things up.
The image above sums up my rule/new year resolution for 2024. I shall not gree for anybody. If you are nice and kind to me, I shall reciprocate 1000 times over. If you are mean and nasty to me, I will hit you with all I have and then borrow to add to it, 10000 times over. I am simply done with indulging rubbish from anyone. I am going to fight for the life that I want and deserve. π
