Life with Las B...

  Are you fuming at the collection? Yeah, me too. I mean... The cost of these bags could be utilised for better investment right? WRONG!  Two hard facts 1. Hermes is an exclusive luxury bag. She can always sell it even higher than the selling price. Hell, Hermes worth has grown to 500% since 2017. Plus... These rich have businesses that may go bankrupt. Or some corporate espionage may occur and they lose all their assets. Guess what will keep them afloat? Yup, $2 million worth of Hermes bags That's also why they also buy ugly artwork for $6 million at auctions. They aren't stupid. 2. It is their money and these luxury items brings them fulfilment (I'd say). Reiterates to them that they can afford it. Vain? But who cares... We only get one life anyways. Another sad detriment of capitalism. The gap between the rich and poor continues to widen. Don't hate the player... Hate the game So while I may not be comfortable hoarding such items, it's actually intelligent to do ...

 Move with the tide 20 years ago, the major technical skill required to be employed was typing speed... How fast can you type a computer From 10 years ago till now, the major technical skill shifted towards Google Suites/Microsoft Office. Now, we are moving onto a metaverse, augmented reality, et.al. And it's only normal that these programming skills will be required in the near future. My point - Move with the tide. If Blockchain tech, metaverse is the reigning thing we're seeing now, it's won't be shocking if the knowledge of these programming languages will be required in the near future. Try learning about quietly by the side before train will leave you

 It's great to have staunch beliefs. But it becomes truly problematic when you're unflinchingly unbendable with the rules. Unshakable. No evaluation of "supposed" principles. Resistance. Stubbornness. No evolution. Nothing. Like an Iroko tree. Of course, being an Iroko isn't too bad. But mostly, it's better to be a willow tree that has extremely strong and developed roots. Yet, has flexible branches and leaves that sheds its leaves across seasons. Evolving. Letting go. Changing. Growing. Becoming. But remaining true to oneself at the core. We should all strive to be more Willowy. Happy Sunday ụmụ ọma

  While we're in the pursuit to enjoin people to find their career & make money (which is a necessity btw), we shouldn't begrudge others who are much slower on that journey. By that I mean, some people who don't have any idea of what they'd want to do with their lives. And while it's easy for me to say - ohh, learn Copywriting, learn web design and app development, et.al , some people haven't quite found their passion yet. Plus, those of us who've found something now, might switch tomorrow. Who knows where this life leads, right? So, all these make money is huge pressure, that people don't need. Especially in this age of social media and sharing our wins. Always ever about the wins, lol.  But we forget that life isn't a race for all. The end game for each person would be distinct. Sure, it is cute to be in your 20s and be multi-millionairing. However, the fact is that majority who are self-made never fully emerge until their 30s and 40s. Most ...

 It's been a wild ride since the beginning of this year. But it had all just culminated to the last exams... I'll never understand these peeps inside the exam hall: 1. Those who feel entitled. Those dunderheads who scream *"there is no competition in academics so you must respond to me."* I know, goat. That's why you should be comfortable with the lack of competition for failure 2. Those who, when told points expect to be dictated the full story. Like, I should leave what I'm writing and read out for you... You smoke shit or something? 3. You've never spoken to me outside the exam hall and you're beckoning on me to answer you... Lmao, let's keep the same ole energy everywhere. 4. The reason you don't talk to me outside is cos I'm too serious and unfriendly... My energy doesn't attract such commardiere outside... Might as well repel you inside the hall, Fowl! Look, I get that Nigeria education is not the best but I detest the stupi...

 It's interesting to note the extent of indoctrination on people. And how much affects them. So I was watching DW documentary on North Korea and I am torn between understanding their lifestyle and trying to respect their culture. As we probably know by now, the human mind is the greatest asset we have. Once you mess with the mind, both literally and otherwise, the person is lost. So from the documentary that spanned over the period of 8 years (due to restricted movements), I discovered that they are programmed into a certain way from thinking from a very young age. Their childhood education consists of learning Maths, Sports and singing. Yeah, they sing about the glory of the nation and how great their leader is. Azin, they chant the songs all the time, without getting tired of it at all. Another peculiar attribute of them is the stature and pictures of the leaders littered across the country. And that's not all. You always acknowledge the pictures/statutes anywhere you see the...

  On Solitude/Loneliness... I think we need to get to the point where we can fully understand the difference between solitude and loneliness... I am someone who thrives in solitude. I prefer my own company more often than not. Hell, since the lockdown, I've been cooped up inside the house without any inkling to go out whatsoever. So much so that my father thought I was having a young-adult crisis. However, that's not the case at all. Like, I don't miss anything/anybody enough to want to go and visit them. And I don't lack for communication too much to want to meet people. It's not as if I'm even that active on WhatsApp, I hardly reply statuses of people. Neither have I ever posted, "I am bored" I never get bored or tired of my own company. And as far back as I was a toddler, it was this way. I remember not liking visiting the neighbours but I had to go cos my sister was going. And being older how, I hate anything that will send me to market, a...
