Life with Las B...

There is only one single reason you've been feeling like motivational gurus are not impacting you enough. Or why you think those messages are words in the cloud. It's simply because you have no purpose in life. And I use that term loosely…. Very loosely to avoid a misconstrued interpretation. Here is what I mean. I don't necessarily mean that you don't want to do anything worthwhile with your life, it's because you lack the direction to do it. It's because you don't know exactly what to do. You don't know the path to venture. And if you already know the career you want to pursue, you probably do not have the means or know the ways to go about achieving that For most people, they struggle with the former, that is having no clear direction on what they want to do with their lives. And I need to be clear on specificity.  Many at times, people just declare that they want to make it in life. We all have made that proclamation on wanting to be a successful per

 How many times have you read speakers encourage people to, " Have a Routine ?" I know, me too. I I have heard it many times that I finally decided to implement it about a few months ago. Keeping to a desired routine each day. The most recent I tried was on having a daily sequence . By that I mean, having a draft of what you intend to achieve the next day. And while that is brilliant and helps you focused and determined to complete the plans of the day, it becomes boring very quickly. Gradually, it becomes monotonous . Especially if you are taking each of the very steps judiciously in chronological order. For instance, if your daily routine looks like this, Wake up Drink water Jog for 20 minutes Write for 30 minutes Breakfast Read mails Check LinkedIn profile Read news headlines Lunch Binge on Netflix Sleep Scroll social media Dinner Read mails again Prepare a checklist for the next day So, if you do this repeatedly for a few months or even a month, it becomes an obligation

 Okay - here is a winner. My mummy Chimamanda literally knew what I was thinking and she penned it to paper Zikora is my best work of hers, no caps. I would have given a rundown but ụmụnnem, Ike adịghị m at all. I can do a podcast on it (maybe, or not). What I'll say is this, "this is the best short story I've read in a while." Women, labour, pregnancy, abortion, older women love story, abandonment, rape, culture, African parents mentality, circumcision, immigration, economic Inequality, women competition with themselves, single parenting, child-bearing, polygamy, etc. Hell, you can write a dissertation based off this 28 paged masterpiece. The theme that hit home the most is the pregnancy and after-birth theme. Cos we have refused to have these honest to God conversations. We have refused to let women know of the reality of what transpires during and after labour. We need to stop romanticising and downplaying the risk of pregnancy, periodttttt. And the responsibility

 Sọ̀rọ̀ Sóke is a Yoruba phrase which means "Speak Up." Over the course of 2 weeks now, Nigerian youths have taken to the streets to protest against the blatant injustice that the SARS unit of the police force have caused the citizens.  The President is yet to fully address the country, neither has he met with the demands stipulated by the protesters. And so, it continues amidst the hijacking of the movement instigated by some saboteurs among other things. However, the youths are unrelenting. This protest is much more than just SARS. It's the accumulation of pent up anger and frustration against the Nigerian government. And it will only continue from here on... Listen to this episode here   #ENDSARS #ENDSWAT

There has been wide range of protests all over the country following the incessant human rights abuse and injustice meted to the citizens of Nigeria.  This has led to sporadic protests all over the country for the government to bring an end to the SARS segment in the police force.  Although, the government had claimed to have dissolved the issue, the citizens are not standing still because same promises have been made for about 4 years with no favourable results.  This episode looks into this and more from the perspective of a youth...

 Today's episode is hotter!!! And Deals with the recent trend with SARS AND THEIR BRUTALITY. Nigeria society is gradually becoming another America with the brutality of the SARS It's a menace that has risen to a deplorable state and is still spiralling down to that place. It's unfortunate that the government has done nothing to address this, neither are they particularly interested in curbing this. There have been agitations by the citizenry, more so in recent times. Added with celebrities who are for the cause and those being cowards (coughs). But what happens when the citizens realise that there is a clause that actually permits police brutality in the Nigeria law. Join me and Charles as we dissect this topic completely. Enjoy

Between last week and this week, it was like I was on a dry spell. I had the biggest feeling of despair, so much so that I had to forgo the topic I intended to address this week to just vent.  Being stuck at home has its pros as much as it has the cons. More so because, there is no stability in the country and so many of us fall into despair. My experience revealed a couple of nuggets on life and that's what I addressed in this podcast .  The feeling of helplessness and uncertainty I felt is incomparable. I was unmotivated to do anything - read, write even watch movies. Social media didn't even cut it for me, I wasn't feeling any vibe online. The essays I had intended to complete by the end of the month, I abandoned them all (4 of them). I lost my appetite for food a couple of times. Simply put, I was on a standstill. I don't exactly know what changed in particular but on Saturday, I was so much on a low that I legit ran to YouTube to watch yoga meditation videos for re

  I launched my podcast a week ago on anchor. Discussions on relevant social issues is something I've always wanted to do but I wasn't aware there existed a platform like anchor to aid that in the first place. This is where ignorance is never an excuse. Thankfully, it's not too late to start. And so, I am quite intentional about this 'ministry.' I like the possibilities that can unfold from my podcast. It's this way, "abi you want to talk? Use this platform and be talking naa. You mustn't be featured in a radio before you start your own online radio in this world of tech." In this episode, I looked at the double standards in the society as regards to leaked videos online. The case in reference is to the IMSU's lecturer whose video surfaced online awhile back. I'm still astonished with how the news quelled down immediately and that is one of the things I addressed in the podcast. Coupled with the reactions - very shocking reactions and comme
