Life with Las B...

 When the lockdown began, there were tons of posts telling students to make use of their time to learn either a skill/ a new language or whatever. However, it became sort of forceful (in my opinion...) and it felt intrusive tbh. This is what I mean - the skills I heard were not particularly what I wanted to do. I was too lazy to browse what each entails. But I think the most important factor is that I had projected my mind to think that Nigeria is devoid of opportunities. And nothing good could ever emerge from here. I couldn't be more wrong. My new mantra is, "Ignorance is a Sin, a mortal sin to be exact." A highly punishable sin.  I can't emphasize that enough.

  The dynamics in the relationship between parents and children in Nigeria is a fear-love relationship. This has to do with the kind of upbringing our parents' generation inculcated ours with and some times, it doesn't yield positive results.   More so as regards to career path among other things. This is what this episode addresses and ways we can learn from those mistakes, improve our lives and make conscious decision not to replicate them.   Enjoy it here
