My views on Life (Inspired by my friend 🤗) I think that the purpose of humans on this life is to live, in the sense that we strive for what gives us peace of mind, what makes us happy and satisfied. Also, we live to help others, to make the world a better place to make our lives easier. Sometimes, we extend same gesture to other people by being philanthropists albeit not always monetarily. I also know that in life, there is no truth or false. We only have our own perception of what is true. There isn't particularly any morality: I mean there was a point in time when rape wasn't a big deal, when incest was a thing, when slavery was a means of income for a certain continent. In such situation, they had justification for what they were indulging in. In life, anyone can back up his/her perception if the right evidence is found. I also feel that people fear the unknown in life. Because we don't know some things, we hope on the supernatural to be our guide. Because we don'

I have a few thoughts that I want to let out and some questions that are gnawing on my mind. Before I go on, I find it hard to believe that some women actually still believe that they are men's property, that the end game of female is marriage. Not only are women more empowered these days, I like to think that we are not as naive as our mothers and grandmothers were. On relating to marriage and motherhood. I feel as though that it's the society that makes people think that way. Our extended family has it such that we have uncles and aunts interfering with our lifestyle and the notion that we are supposed to adhere to the teachings of our parents, we tend to aspire for marriage. That is why we see women who have graduated, yet they feel as though they are failures because they are not married. I have a relation who is 29 years old, and I remember 2 years ago when her boyfriend broke up with her cos of his mother did not like her. This made her actually emanciated. Infact, my

Today is the first day of Second Semester. So the class was more of introductory class and the lecturer taking it was same as a course I did last semester. He was calling out the results of a course I had already written and he called my name My mind was going haywire, I was kind of optimistic because he wouldn't just call my name if I "banged" the course. My fingers were crossed but to my greatest surprise, he was praising my script. By God, the accolades I got today was so out of the world. I never experret it. For one, the course was kind of challenging because of he various assignments, online classes and tests that we had, coupled with going to school as early as 6:30 am in order to struggle for class seats to answer attendance I must confess that I took the course seriously. Although I had received a small amount of praise cos of my online contribution, I was marvelled because of how I had felt towards the course prior to today. he was like, "The script was

When you try to forget about some of the atrocities befallen upon blacks by the system during segregation and discrimination, you're smacked in the face by another injustice by a system that allows such to happen to people just because of the colour of their skin. I didn't watch "The Hate U Give" till last month, and upon watching it I got to know about Emmet till, a 14 year old adolescent boy who was lynched on accusation of supposed "chyking" a white women. This was in the 1920s. Now, the story is sad and all, I was even vexing for Khalil's death which I know is fiction although stuffs like that happen for real. But people, you've got to, got to watch "When they See Us". I swear, if you had been angered by "THUG", you're going to have to start crying cos of that film. Do you know the most heartwrenching thing about the movie? It is that the movie is actually based off a true life story. The victims in the movie ar
