It's somewhat hard to love ourselves in the ways we should, because of course, it's us. We don't put in the extra efforts we put into loving others into loving ourselves, why? “Self-love is a state of appreciation for oneself that grows from actions that support our physical, psychological and spiritual growth. Self-love means having a high regard for your own well-being and happiness. Self-love means taking care of your own needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others.” Photo: harrirose.com https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.harrirose.com/blog/2020/you-can-love-someone-else-more-than-yourself%3fpage=all&format=amp  Harri Rose has said so many valid things about ‘why we love others more than ourselves’, you'd find it helpful so click the link above to read.  I realised that I've saved money in the past to give to people or make others birthdays and important events memorable more than I've done for myself. It's easier ...

“The life of inner peace, being harmonious and without stress, is the easiest type of existence.”  Photo: Agnes Naze on WhatsApp Forgiveness, like good people would always preach, is mainly for ourselves. Sometimes when people hurt us, we're convinced that we'll never be able to forgive and forget it because of how badly it hurt us. Has anybody ever done something to you that was so bad you felt the hurt moving from your chest to your mouth? Sometimes you're too numb to breath, your chest too stiff to beat without causing physical pain, and sometimes, your eyes too painful to contain tears. I've been hurt badly on ‘too many for my own good’ occasions, but I've hurt people too; intentionally and otherwise. I knew that saying something a certain way would inflict emotional pain, but I said it. I've known that refusing to say something would leave room for doubt and inferiority, but I didn't say it. I've liked people and when things were going s...

I will never understand the responsibilities of a mother until I become one. I do not have the rights to explain or talk about the demands of motherhood because I have never borne children or even been pregnant before, but I can tell you what I've learnt from my mum. I can share with you some of the things I have learnt from consciously/subconsciously watching her. Photo: Elizabeth Naze (my mum) Ever since I reached the age of comprehension; since I began to see, move, talk, eat, play and dance, I've always SEEN my mother. Elizabeth Ngunan Sati, now Elizabeth Ngunan Isaac Naze, is the perfect representative of motherhood . There are other mothers out there like her of course, but I can only talk about her because she's the one that's MINE. Photograph of I and my mum in 2022 As a child, I needed extra attention in all aspects of my life. I needed extra attention emotionally, academically, spiritually, mentally and even physically. I used to be a ...

The 2021/2022 session has seen great setbacks, and even right now, many will agree that it's still ‘walking’ on eggshells. Having resumed sometime in October from the ASUU strike, the Mass Communication department of the university of Jos, held her long overdue welcome special on Friday, the 30th of November, for her current new students. Immediately after the welcome special which ended successfully, the association held her annual Congress which began at 1:25pm.    The Secretary-General; Ebule Margaret-Mary, presided over the meeting.  Opening prayer was said by one representative each from the Christian and Muslim community of the association.     At about 1:47pm, the meeting began proper. The Secretary-General apologised for the unavailability of the minutes of the last Congress, she said “ we are very sorry but the minute of the last minute is not in our possession but with the H.O.D who's cur...

You're entitled to your own beliefs and ideologies. You have the right to speech, right to freedom of expression,right to life and so on. The only thing I am saying on behalf of so many other people is, do not abuse these rights .  Why am I bringing this up?  Lately, it's been bugging my mind how I have to walk the face of this earth and meet/interact with people who have barbaric beliefs and values. It's hit me so hard and I've been dreading another one-on-one face-off with one of such people.     It's no big deal that we all do not like soft bread, I mean, I understand how a normal human being can refuse to eat soft bread and freshly prepared beans. What I cannot understand is how some people refuse to allow themselves be HUMAN BEINGS with feelings. No feeling of anguish, no feeling of sympathy or empathy, no feeling of PITY! It's really disheartening.    For so many weeks now, I've juggled a lot of ways to put my thoughts on this out and...

Heyy, remember what you read in my bio?  Do you perhaps remember seeing REVIEWS? Here's the start of that part of this space.    Movies are a big part of entertainment in our society today, they play very vital roles too e.g, informing, educating and of course, ENTERTAINING the audience. If you don't read books, you definitely watch movies. Even though you're not a movie person, there are some blockbusters you definitely cannot resist.  Gift Daboer has something to tell us. LOCKDOWN MOVIE This is actually a movie that was released in 2021, It’s 2022 I’m definitely a bit late than I would want to be, well it was released on Netflix in August 2022. Overall, the movie took the plot of the lockdown that happened in the year 2020. The world was shaken by the corona virus or as we know it; Covid-19. As a result, the lockdown was imposed on a huge chunk of the world. It also took a dramatic twist in relation to the Ebola virus that was brought into Nigeria by a ...

The Girl Child In frame: my little sister  Photo credit: Google chrome  Photo credit: Google chrome         The world in her enormity, can boast of diverse cultures, languages, food, great countries, e.t.c,. Her great countries can boast of superiority in terms of development, but sex? Sex (male and female) exist to unify and equalise countries, both great and small.  Luckily for 2nd and 3rd world countries, 1st world countries can boast of superiority in everything but when it comes to people, everyone has a say.     Happy International Day of the Girl Child to all the girls who can read this and to all the girls connected to you in one way or the other.    It's the 10th anniversary of the International Day of the Girl Child celebration and for those who do not know the purpose of this day in the calendar, “International Day of the Girl Child is an international observance day decl...
