Not all good plans are beneficial

 "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...

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE 🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬

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.

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 and Literacy

  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...

Five Advantages of Lightening Your Load

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.

BLESSING IN DISGUISE

 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...

THE PRICE OF FREEDOM

 "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...

BE HAPPY RIGHT NOW

 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...
