Groupie

Image
  The first time I heard this word was when Drake called someone a groupie in one of his songs, I did not check for the meaning until an influencer talked about it recently The google definitions are too extreme and derogatory but in the context of what I'm talking about a groupie can be someone who always wants to be with the "happening guys". After pondering about it for a couple of days I realized we might be and this mentee, mentor, networking, your association rave in Nigeria might have turned most of us to “groupies” in a way. The need to follow the latest popping person, enter their dms and introduce yourself, ask them to mentor you or to just be able to say I know them, bla bla bla   is turning some of us into something else I don’t have much to say but I pray we remember that as we appreciate the light in others, their talents and gifts, we'll never  lose sight of the light, talents and gifts we carry too. Appreciate them but focus on making your light

8 Steps to avoid frustration when your red flag is on



My friends and I prayed to God to have a red flag because we thought it would make us big girls but little did we know it is a pack of embarrassing moments. Procrastination is your enemy so make sure you carry out these tips on time.
·         Always have a pack of pad
In order to prevent embarrassment, buy a pad at the end of your last period and always have one pad in all your bags to ensure you are always prepared.
·         Always buy your painkillers early
Always buy a pack of pain killers at the end of your last period and keep one in each bag to avoid discomfort wherever you find yourself. Not listening to this advice has landed me in the hospital twice, don’t be like me.
·         Use a period tracker app on your device
Having a period tracker app prevents you from being caught unawares and helps you prepare well
·         Wear comfortable clothing (preferably loose and beautiful)
Always wear comfortable clothing and good undies during your period to avoid stains.
·         Know your type of flow and buy a pad specified for it
In stores, several products have information on the kind of flow it is made for.
·         Use a cotton pad
Cotton pads are healthier. Examples of cotton pads are: Always cotton pad, Molped etc
·         Maintain Hygiene
Ensure you bathe at least twice a day, keep all cloths and undies clean. Nothing is worse than smelling during your period.
·         Take your mind off it
Engage in activities you love and try to stay productive.
N.B Avoid wearing bright skirts or trousers (white, yellow)

Are you a wealthy youth?

Are you a wealthy youth? My friends and I were having a good laugh😂 about our poor money decisions and it was so funny how wise girls like us could make such decisions. We all had the big dream of being young and rich🤑 but we weren’t. We spent money on bags, shoes, weaves, makeup, entertainment and clothes that made us happy for a day or two and then we returned to being broke girls, our bank accounts and stomachs were rich for a second but at least we could get away with looking rich for a long time. I had always asked myself in my broke state, can I enjoy myself and satisfy my wants without getting nairaless at the end of the day or do I always have to sacrifice one for the other? after reading Arese Ugwu’s book “The smart money woman” I got my answer. I realized that as an evolving youth our wants range increase and one of the responsibilities of an adult is to manage finances while satisfying desires. In order to do this, we need to gain knowledge on savi

Born Again As we grow into adulthood, we tend to have a desire to find the truth for ourselves, and stop depending on what we’ve been told. As a growing teenager I started to have reasons why I wanted to find God for myself, to know if he really exists and what he was really about. In church, I was told that if I am not born again when Jesus comes, I would go to hell. Therefore, I confessed that Christ is my lord and saviour several times: when I lied, watched a movie about hell, wanted him to answer my prayers, listened to preachings or when I was just unsure of my salvation. I realized that I was always lying and doing what God hates so I was always confessing and promising that I would change my ways. I got into a Christian university where the salvation message was always preached and I was always told I could access God once I become his child so I answered the altar call again, but the issue was after answering the altar call what next?   I stopped listening to se

Forgiveness

An important attribute of a person is their memories. The ability to remember events, words, people encounters, and fragrances is so essential,that when lost, we conclude that the individual will be unable to live to their full potential. As important as making new memories is to our lives, deleting the ones that serve as garbage to our minds, is of great necessity. I used to be a walking encyclopedia for the harms done to me. It was a prized possession, it gave me enough reasons to cry when I felt down, enough reasons that I had every right to be pitied and given attention. In my head I was like, “you don’t know what they’ve done to me” but the truth was that I did not know the damage I was doing to myself. The Lord’s prayers says; “...and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us…” Imagine yourself as a phone with 64GB of storage. You would agree with me when the storage is full, the phone becomes:  • Slow • Overheats • Cannot accommodate new and imp
