But, I thought I should share something and I guess some of you might have seen it but Im sure it is worth watching again. For those who Haven't here is Chiamaka Adiche's  ''The danger of a single story''. I shall be posting something interesting soon.

You Are Responsible For Yourself And You Should Invest In Yourself.

So many excuses from people when you ask them why they are where they are today. Among them
are excuses such as, my family is not helping me, my elder sibling is super rich but he/she won't help me out. At first you will pity such people, because they are good at making someone take the blame as why they are not doing so good with their lives. However, the question is are people investing in themselves. People still make the mistake of thinking we came to this world as a group, neglecting the fact that every individual is responsible for his/her own decisions. I study economics and finance and one of my economics modules is called "Games and Strategies". Games said there is Cooperative and Non-cooperative game Theories however, I will emphasize on  the 'Cooperative Game Theory' that says parties negotiate and jointly agree on the terms of their relationship. Although they

Why Are You A Racist?

I didn't plan to write anything about this, I was going to post something different. However, what I'm going to write here is going to be based on my imaginations. I wont say it is out of anger of all the racist comments I see online and things I heard from those that have experienced it but I will think   anything that doesn't bring happiness to someone will bring misery. So here is what I imagined. I think racism is like a disease, the disease that starts from hair to the toe, you know when you hate your whole body malfunctions. The miserable life kills slowly, you will just realize some people died suddenly, next thing they are in the coffin, next thing they are six feet under. Then when they get to heaven and are asked why they died so soon, They are gonna say;

'' I hated a fellow human being, God you know the ones you created like me but with different color of skin?. I was always being cautious of them around, I spent extra time and money making sure I'm far away from them. For example on an international flight I usually get a first class seat. It is not like I can create/make  HUMAN BEING but I just didn't seem to like those of different colors than mine''.

NEW POST: Keep Your Mouth Shut

People say a problem shared is a problem solved. However, I think some things are just best to keep to ourselves. Some discussions are only to be shared within the family, most relationship talks should be with your partners. I think if there is no history of domestic abuse or serial cheating scandal in your marriage or relationship, you do not have anything to share except telling people how to be
contend with what they have.
Most break ups and divorces is because people are trying to go with the flow. You discuss your
marriage or relationship with the girls during night out or girls day out and you go home feeling miserable and acting out, because you gave some people an opportunity to make them feel better about themselves. You put their pieces of advice in your head and you think if you don't do as they say they will think you are too weak or dumb. The truth of the matter is, people unconsciously beef other people in a good relationship or marriage and sometimes they don't even realise they are telling
you the wrong thing. Which is not their faults as we are all humans, so low key jealousy is certain.
I hope guys are not thinking this is only just for the ladies? Haha don't be deceived, we know all about how bragging has put some of you in trouble. You go to the bar and talk rubbish about your lady and the guys decided to solve your problem by giving you babes but you cannot reject the decision because you also need to impress them and show that you can sleep around. I am so sorry
but they won't be there when you start to beg the only real woman in your life not to pack out, they will also not be there when you are battling with sexual transmitted diseases. Thanks for reading. Leave your comments and let me know what you all think.

Celebrate The Success Of Others

Today's  Rhapsody Of Realities and I thought I should share. It reads below;

Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in loveliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves (Philippians 2:3).

There are people who, instead of seeing the positive side of others and learning from them, get into worthless competition. The news of someone else's success not only upsets and triggers in them a competitive spirit, they also feel "dwarfed" by them. This ought not to be so.

The success of another person doesn't mean that you are failing; therefore, rejoice and celebrate them. Be filled with love. Never find yourself in unhealthy competition with others. If you were starting a business, for example don't let it be because you want to compete with somebody else; don't strive or fight with others; let God lead you. If you'd commit your work to Him and trust Him, He'd cause you to secceed. He's already established you on the Rock, and that Rock is Christ; therefore, you have nothing to fear.

Moreover, success is relative, and there are different phases and levels of success. Your success can only be measured according to the vision and target that God has given you. If you are about a God-given endeavour, then he alone can judge how successful you are.
Between you and God, can decide whether or not you are successful, because it's based on what you are told to do. What He told you to do may not be what He told someone else; so there is no need to compare yourself with others, or rate yourself on the basis of their success or failure.

Therefore, in all you do, let your motives be right and be void of selfishness. When you hear of other people's success, never allow the self-pitying or "why not me" attitude. Rejoice. Refuse to compare yourself with anyone. Remember, you are unique before the Lord!. 

They Can Not Know I Care

It is true that some people can't express love to those they truly love. This is often misunderstood by the people around them and causes relationships to fail. I don't want to say it is psychology, I just think it is a high level of defence.

New Today: Should We Do It The Old Ways Or Nay?

I do not know how this is going to sound. I am not the type that condemns things. I do not care about how you dress or what you do with your image, I feel like you only owe yourself an explanation. However, few days ago something happened that took me back to when I was younger, then we were told that as a lady it is inappropriate to wear jeans. The elders then had an excuse for this but it didn't make sense.
Yes so, few days ago I was at a campus ministry program and it happened that my sit was with some guys. One thing I noticed guys do not have is the gift of hiding their reactions around ladies. So it was time for the Choir to minister, they were all ladies by they way and as soon as we all got up to sing, these guys won't even be bothered reading the songs lyrics from the screen and maybe they did

Mercy Johnson's Movie Premiere: Thy Will Be Done.

The movie ''Thy Will be Done'', was premièred at the BFI IMAX yesterday in London. I must say the turn up was good, I was there myself to experience what a premier of an African Movie is like. The  Nollywood industry is really improving and we need to encourage them more.
 To cut my story short, check the pictures below. The pictures are not perfect but not so disappointing.

New Today: A Victim of My Father's Actions.

Ok so we have our first story, this story is just a typical example of how growing up in a lower class Africa family can be a disadvantage in life. No, I do not even think that is the case, I will say it is a case of a father that lived his life and left nothing for his kids now. This story is from a guy I met some years ago. With the years I have spent on earth, he is one of the few people I met that are really passionate about computing. We met at a computer school, NIIT, Nigeria to be précised. What I saw then was a brilliant guy, a talent that should be working under a good condition right now but unfortunately this is not the case now. It is surprising (in a bad way) to know he is where he is today.

  Back to the story now. I said earlier about a father that lived his life and forgot he has a future to protect, which were his kids. Before he had kids, this man was a Muslim that was allowed to marry more than one wife as long as he could provide for them. Money wasn't his problem as he was a top banker then therefore, he fell into the temptation of marrying 6 wives. He was really leaving the life and at some point was caught stealing money from the bank.

Happy New Year: Open Letter To Hadeworld Readers.

Dear Hadeworld Readers,

       So this morning I decided to come on here, not that I planned to but one way or the other I found myself here. I must say I have missed blogging and you all.I have been so busy with school and I cant believe it took me this long to return here. Forget my earlier lame excuse about school works, deep down I think the main reason it took me this long was because I felt like what I put on this blog is not what I should. I felt like there are more serious things we should share with each other.
