Life with Las B...

I was watching House MD, a Hollywood medical series and it dawned on me on why older series seem so much better than recent movies. Apart from the actors being into the roles, characters were allowed to have flaws in older series. Like this House MD, the male lead has no filter, one other guy has a superiority complex going on, the female lead is self righteous, and the other guy is quite selfish. These make their behaviours unique and realistic. Unlike these days where the characters have to be liberal and should say "all the right woke things." Which rids the individuality and complexity of different characters. I'm certain that House MD series would have been cancelled if it was aired these days but it ran for 8 seasons from 2004-2012. Really surprised I didn't know about it prior to now.

I don't even know if it is this Mr Henry Wigwe's death but I'm less and less aspiring to be at the highest echelon of this career thingy. Cos this life is all a journey to death. And death doesn't ask for permission when it comes knocking. And we talk a lot about legacy but the term is just being remembered which to some large extent, is fueled by ego.  Plus, no matter how impactful you are, not everyone will remember your legacy. Hell, there are still some people that don't know Jesus Christ. And many more others that don't know Michael Jackson. I'd watched the docu-series of Alexander the Great, and his influence then made people see him as a demigod. But even now, only a few lore geeks remember him. We are dust, and unto dust we shall return according to Genesis 3:19 . So it becomes a question of "do I want to be remembered by the whole world? Or am I comfortable with just being known by my friends." We all end up being forgotten at the end of i

  Naval and Omotoyosi Ogunbanwo made me start considering tech very seriously. But the last straw on the camel's back that made me abandon my masters in history prospects was (ironically research). I scoured the internet, for career progression for someone studying history. Nothing really positive. Infact, even Caucasians themselves said they are not seeing any jobs. Those that got employed at museum said they did art history, so archaeology graduates have better chances of placements than pure history. I visited Reddit, Quora and the end goal usually ultimately ends up as a professor, of which I am not the most patient person for it. I then searched career progression of programming and unless Jesus Christ comes down today, they'll always be need for programmers, even with the A.I.  I said, even if maths is a must, I'll go back and learn. It's not as if I was not good at maths before. Anyways, I am not earning as much as I'd like, but I am where i am supposed to be

 When I joined rotaract, I was not able to afford the events. But anytime members return from their trips to give updates, they're always like "you've not experienced the real rotaract until you've attended these events." Then, they'd inadvertently add that "Whatever happens at X and X stays there" Now for someone like me, I know I'm not missing anything but I figured, I could give the benefit of doubt. Have the so called experience. I eventually saved up for one. And it confirmed my suspicions. Infact, I would have preferred I stayed back and gisted till morning with my roommates.  My best experiences in Unn are watching Shadow Hunters and 13 Reasons Why with Collete, in my first year, or with when I chatted the whole of midnight with Mae-Ri in my second year, doing skincare mixtures with Olivia, and my Chiamaka roommates. Or going to Ifechukwu and Adaeze's house to dance, or in my hostel with Chimela recording or sleepover at Amanda's h

  Anytime I remember this lady, I'm resolute in my decision that "never ever am I going to be protesting for issues concerning men, Chukwu ajụ" So basically, this babe was among those championing for Black Lives Matter, especially for the killings of black American men. And after a particular day's protest, the same black men she was voicing for raped her to death and dumped her in a trashcan. Ụmụ Chineke, a dustbin. This was in 2020 during that George Floyd murder and the subsequent protests that ensued. After that and subsequently the gists I read on twitter on women getting groped when EndSARS Lagos started, I was vehement that I wasn't going anywhere for East own. Throughout History, from the lores of Achilles of Greek, to the time of David in the bible, to Alexander the Great of Macedonia, to Mark Antony of Rome, to The World Wars, Vietnam Wars, Nigeria-Biafra war, men always take women as spoils of war.  One of the history that has painted me the most was th

  On Yesterday's episode of this career. I started off the day with No 1. By 10am when I'd left for market, I was at No 4. Came back and made ofe onugbu and ofe ọra. During my standup at 4pm, I was at No. 5 and gave a long tailed excuse on the bugs I had. I did say turn on my laptop again. Watched kdrama afterwards. Read some chapters in a historical fiction just before bed.  Woke up this morning and it was actually whilst doing my chores, that I was mentally walking through the code and possible solutions. Opened my laptop by 10am again, looked at the code again for what I'd been thinking earlier, and resolved the issue in 10 minutes. Now, I'm at No 8 and all is good again.  As for no 9, maybe next year I will be audacious enough to think that
