Conquest lifestyle by Kuforiji Afolasade

I'm not a rascal; I'm strong-headed. There's a distinct difference between being a rascal and having a strong will and mind. I'm disciplined—not rigid, but unyielding and impossible to easily twist. Some people mess things up and claim that just because I don't change my stance or agree with them, it makes me a rascal. They mistake my firm voice and unwavering will for something negative. But I know what a real rascal is: someone with no good intentions, someone who breaks the law, violates rights, defiles people, robs, acts like a thug, and disrespects others' cultures.  Here's the truth: I’ve shown time and again that you cannot silence my voice—it’s strong and clear, reaching far and wide. Just because I’m strong-headed doesn’t mean I’m a rascal. And if I appear simple at times, don’t be fooled—simplicity is not the core of who I am. Remember this. 

'The Tale of a Very Good Bad Girl'  This girl is kind but with a twist of madness, an unpredictable force of nature. In her calm voice, she asserts, "If I can spend all my energy saving a soul, I can also invest the same energy in taking a soul." She embodies the sides of a coin with a magnetic effect, attracting energy at different frequencies, and wielding both light and darkness. Celebrating a decade of being a "very good bad girl" reflects a journey of resilience and adaptability. Life has served her portions of poison without pause, making the choice between the sides of the coin consequential. Maintaining the facade of a purely good girl is too costly, while the bad girl persona adds an enticing edge.  In a world where "bad girls" often seize better opportunities, the "good girls" frequently end up with the leftovers. This isn't mere sarcasm; it's a hard truth. Being too good often leads to having one's rights trampled u...

 "Not all seemingly good plans are necessarily beneficial for you. There exist numerous misconceptions about planning. As the saying goes, 'Those who fail to plan, plan to fail.' However, it's important to remember that a plan alone is not sufficient; it's a workable plan that holds the greatest value. Sometimes, plans may appear enticing on the surface, but upon implementation, they can lead to regret. The effectiveness of a plan hinges significantly on the judicious allocation of time and resources. Interestingly, most well-conceived plans may falter precisely because of their pursuit of perfection – perfect plans are not immune to errors. Taking a positive step at an inopportune moment can turn that step into a misstep. Regardless of how impeccable a plan may seem, if it is not executed at the right time, it can be worse than having no plan at all. Consider the idea of starting a personal business. While the intention is commendable, venturing into such a busine...

This year's Independence appears different abi na my eyes ni 👀. Something is now telling me pe tabi 🧏 'Ara n kan Gaza' ni...  The independence now look 👁️like dependence.  No matter how it looks, na still Naija for life.  We found ourselves in a lot of mess yet our success is evident. We fight for common goals in different languages. We thrive in our diversity. Our team spirit is envied by many. We are blessed with both human and natural resources. 'Our land is Green' When they ask; where are you from? And you say 'Am a Nigerian' there's always change of impressions about your nationality and personality. It's so pathetic when people use the attributes of the few bad eggs to evaluate our overall performance. But we are good people. Why does it seems like we intimidates others. Being a Nigerian implies you can survive any trial. We are survivals. Our spirits are so strong. As the real "Giant of Africa" we can never settle for less. Abou...

  Education Education serves as the conduit for the transmission of knowledge, skills, and character traits. It encompasses not only the teaching and acquisition of specific skills but also something more intangible yet profound. One of its fundamental aspects involves passing down culture from one generation to the next. Education, etymologically derived from "to draw out," facilitates the realization of an individual's latent potential and talents. It engenders a natural and enduring transformation in an individual's thinking and capacity to pursue their objectives. Education extends beyond the confines of the classroom, as it is a product of both a child's experiences outside of school and their experiences within it. Three primary forms of education exist: Formal, Informal, and Non-formal. Formal Education Formal Education occurs within the structured environments of schools, colleges, and universities. Here, students acquire both theoretical and practical kno...

Why continue lugging around unnecessary burdens every day? These burdens, filled with valueless items and the broad circle of people who contribute nothing to your life, only hold you back. You might think that having a lot now may be beneficial in the future or confer validation, but remember, this is a choice. If you are committed to fulfilling your purpose, you must be ready to discard unnecessary items and distance yourself from people who offer no enrichment to your life. Here are five benefits that come with lightening your load. Five Advantages of Lightening Your Load 1. Discarding unimportant items makes room for ones that add significant value. Releasing people who don't positively impact your life attracts goal-achievers to your circle. 2. A lighter load will enable you to move quicker and cover greater distances.

 Placing all our trust in humans instead of in God often leads to significant disappointment, as aptly expressed by Kuforiji Afolasade: "The height of your trust determines the depth of your disappointment." There are moments when we reach out to others for help, but they may not respond. In such situations, it's possible that God is using their absence to teach us valuable lessons that their presence couldn't impart. We may be disheartened and disapproved by those we trusted the most, but it's essential to realize that their presence might have complicated matters and prevented the right people from coming into our lives to offer genuine help. Perhaps, where we stand today, we have experienced rejection and disarray due to the absence of support from our parents, friends, or spouse when we needed them the most. This could have resulted in various setbacks, financial crises, serious health issues, broken relationships, spiritual attacks, business failures, unemplo...

 "Freedom isn't free. To embrace freedom, one must be prepared to pay the price, break through barriers, shift focus, change mindset, and break free from the shackles that bind. Pursue it relentlessly and be prepared to overcome any challenges." Freedom is the state of being granted the liberty to act, speak, and travel as one desires, at their own pace and time. However, the attainment of freedom has become akin to a life-or-death struggle. Numerous obstacles, battles, conflicts, infringements, and oppressive forces hinder our freedom, requiring us to assert our will to overcome them. The civil rights of citizens have been persistently trampled upon, and freedom is no longer readily available to the common people. The cherished liberties of speech, association, movement, and opinions are gradually slipping away. "Enduring bondage may last for decades, but the day of freedom marks a new dawn." - Kuforiji Afolasade. Yearning for freedom is universal, yet the cont...

 Happiness is a beautiful emotion and life satisfaction that can be triggered by positive experiences or can simply arise without any apparent reason. It's a choice we have the power to make. We hold the key to creating happiness within ourselves, and it often goes beyond the boundaries of pure joy. So why wait to be happy until some future date? Such misconceptions abound, like believing happiness is reserved for the wealthy, or that life will be easier and happier as we grow older. Happiness is not limited to specific circumstances, appearances, or financial status. Nor is it a luxury too costly to maintain or a dangerous path that might lead to trouble or an early demise. In our earlier years, we hoped that transitioning to Secondary School would guarantee a happier life, only to find ourselves facing new challenges and stresses. The pursuit of happiness didn't become any simpler when we entered higher institutions. The road to success was far from easy, with the pressure of...

 Just envisioning the profound beauty life could hold if we genuinely loved one another, we come to realize the truth: "You can't give what you do not have." Love encompasses a broad spectrum of intense and positive emotional and mental states, ranging from the loftiest virtue and good habits to the deepest interpersonal affection and simplest pleasures. When we truly cherish and value our own lives, showing love and respect to those around us becomes a natural and effortless endeavor. Love entails the willingness to prioritize another person's well-being and happiness above our own. It arises as a sudden rush of attraction and admiration, an overwhelming feeling of attachment, affection, and interdependence. It's a conscious choice to commit to aiding, respecting, and caring for one another. Feeling unloved is strongly linked to emotions like low self-esteem, helplessness, despondency, dejection, and depression. Conversely, those who both feel loved by others and...

 "We constantly evolve through living and learning. Learning is indispensable for life itself, as it equips us with new understandings, knowledge, behaviors, skills, values, attitudes, and cultural insights. From the moment we are born until we draw our last breath, learning remains a fundamental aspect of our existence. Yet, living is equally essential for learning, as experiences shape our understanding. Learning can take us on a journey from simplicity to complexity or vice versa. Embrace the opportunity to learn something new each day. Stay updated, be refreshed, and open yourself to a wealth of experiences worth cherishing throughout your life. In this ever-changing world, better ways, innovative methods, fresh approaches, visionary ideas, and novel opportunities continuously emerge. Never assume you've seen it all; always keep learning. Explore the vast opportunities life has to offer, for merely sitting idle will yield nothing. Learning transcends all aspects of life, p...

Depression, a mood disorder, manifests as persistent feelings of sadness, anxiety, fear, and loss of interest in once-enjoyable activities. It extends beyond temporary unhappiness, lasting for weeks, months, or even years. This perplexing condition affects individuals differently, with symptoms ranging from mild to severe. Treatment options are numerous, but effectiveness varies from person to person. Depression can impact anyone, irrespective of race, religious beliefs, gender, culture, or age, resulting from environmental, genetic, and psychological factors. Feeling sadness is a natural response to stressful or upsetting life experiences, such as changes in environment, loss of loved ones, financial struggles, and mental or physical health issues. It influences thoughts and emotions, making daily activities like eating, sleeping, working, and studying more challenging. Additionally, it can adversely affect relationships, social life, and career paths. It is important to be aware of y...

Being single is a natural state of being and should not be viewed as a wrongdoing. It is perfectly acceptable to wait for the right person rather than rushing into a relationship with the wrong individual, which is where the true mistake lies. The fact that you are single does not imply that you cannot experience genuine happiness while waiting for the right person. Happiness is a positive and pleasurable emotion that ranges from contentment to intense joy and overall satisfaction. It can be triggered by positive life experiences or thoughts, but sometimes it can arise without an obvious cause. The long-term level of happiness is more strongly correlated with life satisfaction, subjective well-being, flourishing, and eudaimonia. There is a misguided belief that being married is the only path to happiness and respect. This mindset has created a false narrative, leading many young people to hastily enter marriages in pursuit of happiness. However, they often realize that the happiness th...
