Change The Conversation

Smile today. Not because you have to but because you are love and light. Love today. Because others are love and light but might be tainted with shadows. Love them and see through a streak of light they have. Give today. Not because you have so much to part with but because someone out there just needs to feel an act of kindness. Forgive today. For this is your true bliss and not for anyone. Forgiveness means you accept a situation and are willing to look past it. Do this for yourself. Appreciate today. We all have our busy days. And nobody is too busy to write or call for a few seconds. Appreciate where you are. Reflect on the past and smile because you are a moving light filled with love. And today you will give because you want someone to feel good so that they can also forgive some situations and let them appreciate themselves :)

Love and be loved they say Love and be happy I've sampled forms & shades of love And right here right now I'm as happy as I could ever be. Love and you can progress Can love sit in my silence I ask? Can love be a friend and lover as well Or I just gotta choose one? Does love come with serenity Or I gotta choose days to be happy? Love will cherish and protect you they say. But I cherish & protect me Love is beautiful they say And I agree because my heart might wander around for a while before it returns back to me

If you know me you know how passionate I am about human rights and it's violations. I'm against violence and abuse of any form. Physical, verbal or emotional. Nobody should be violated. Man or woman, boy or girl, as well as animals. And I definitely will never ever tolerate any of such violations for myself or for anybody because it is horrible. I am not a feminist. I do not need to tell anyone I am equal to them or prove I can do what they do. I was never raised like that and it's definitely not my nature. Instead my personality is more of a doing that saying kind. I will do what I can do without telling the world. I am not against men nor bitter. The men in my life who happen to be family and friends are all respectable. And I'm against any violence against men by the same sex or the opposite sex. With that said. WHAT IS GOING ON IN THIS WORLD!? What is the new trend with rape? Why will you sit and think oh there goes a woman lets rape her? Do YOU not have prostitutes...

It is a feeling, state, attitude, pleasure that lies in the mindset of every individual. We cannot love others until we learn to love ourselves ( Daroda, F 2012). It is that natural inbuilt passion that encompasses strong affection and personal attachment like the Romeo and Juliet type of love which is said to be romantic and emotional. Weather single or in a relationship, Love is meant to be shared on St Valentines day amongst loved ones, couples, friends, family et al. There is the Agape type of love which is passionate to humanity " Love is God and God is Love". Love is Chemistry to the scientists Love is blind Love is unconditional Love conquers all Love is free and not for sale or discounted Love is all of the above. Happy St Valentines Day.

This is indeed a sad day for me. And it should be for other Nigerians as well. But I am still not ashamed to call myself a Nigerian and a northerner. Boko Haram fighters trained in Mali. One of 8 suspects caught in Mali a Nigerian.I will like to use use this opportunity to say this is not the time for tribalism or time to be judgmental. I think it is safe to say and agree that Boko Haram members aren't just Muslims or Northerners. We have seen them on TV on so many occasions and read incidents where non Muslims and non northerners try to do silly things. It's a mix of all religions and tribes. People need to stop acting like sheep's who do not have a mind of their own and stop with allegations of the north and extreme Islamists. I mean they are killing other Muslims, kids and adults out north. So how is that a " Northern thing" Boko Haram has got to go! This is the time Nigerians need to come together and put aside their differences of religion and tribes even i...

Hello everyone! Hope the New year is treating you all good and if not it's still the beginning of the year so hold on. I recently started working with BBC Media Action in Abuja, Nigeria and we will like to share amazing opportunities with you all. I'm not going to go into details of our country's misfortunes on this article or complain about the government, corruption etc. I will rather discuss ways to help find solutions and interactiveness together. Communication is crucial in every situation, be it family, business, or personal relationships. I know a lot of you use Facebook and Twitter to cry out in dismay. It is always one thing or another and most times I literally stop myself from lashing out on Twitter or Facebook and this is mainly because I feel my opinion does not matter. I feel the only people that will read my tweets or status updates are my followers and Facebook friends and frankly there isn't much they can do which is why I hardly put up my opinions on ...
