Life with Las B...

When people say - "you only live once, why not try dare devils when you visit new places Not me! No, noppity nope! 1. When I travel, I want to visit their museums, historical sites . I want to know their origin story. Get obsessed and imagine their way of life. Their culture. Their evolution. Their uniqueness. 2. I want to eat their food . Different foods. Push my taste buds. Can never go wrong with tasting food. 3. I want to visit their modern infrastructure. State of art architecture. Go for some concerts of the biggest stars. Or even, a local band concert, at some bar. Bask in the ambience of a small audience.  A road trip/hiking is an amazing experience  4. I want to interact with locals. Get a few penpals/acquaintances I'm not about to experience cliff-hanging, or high-lining (walk along a thin line on air) cos I wanna experience life. Achọghị m, biko I can make do with parasailing, snorkeling and skydiving (hooked to a guide), but that's the end of it.

  Remote working is the future of majority of jobs. Of course, we still need physical meetings. They are important to brainstorm and all. But I forsee a 2 day work week, and other times remotely Emphasis on flexible work schedule. A dream for introverted folks like me. And also allowing us to travel, be with family, be present for the kids, and enjoy high income salary (without motigbeshona speakers yapping about Being your own boss) And also for the companies: saving cost of electricity, WiFi, etc.  A win-win in all situation How do you think Kuda and Standard Chartered bank afford free charges? It's cos they don't have to up 5 physical banks in Nigeria. It's remote, now and always 

  Last month or so, my interest was in Behavioural evolution and Biology Now, I'm leaning towards Microeconomics. Talk about interdisciplinary student - innit 😂😂😂 But jokes apart, the professor said something that struck me. That one of most important concepts that businesses utilize is "Opportunity Cost" and this plays out predominantly during scarcity And I'm immediately drawn back to the first time I heard the term - "Opportunity Cost." It was in my senior secondary school - Economics class I'm reminded that opportunity cost is the backbone of my spending habits. From my JSS 2, when I mostly forfeited going to the tuck-shop (canteen), so I could save money for pictures. Opportunity cost is the guiding principle for my expenses. So when I budget to spend "A" for this month, and something springs up. I weigh both options - always. This is also where "wants" and "needs" play vital roles. I'd hardly buy a want, if th...

  I was watching Anatomy of a Scandal and remembered the most inspiring rape victim I've ever heard of Rachael Joy Denhollander. She was harassed by the National Women's gymnast physician. And she quit gymnastics. Went to law school. She came back 16 years later, and accused the physician of sexual assault.  And because of her, up to 200 gymnasts came forward stating their experience at his hands (including Simone Biles). During the trial and eventual conviction of the rapist guy, she gave the concluding statement as follows -  *"How much is a little girl worth? I plead with you (the judge) to impose the maximum sentence under the plea agreement because everything is what these survivors are worth. Thank you."* The rapist was eventually sentenced as follows -  Federal : 60 years in prison, lifetime of supervised release State (Ingham County) : 40 to 175 years in prison State (Eaton County) : 40 to 125 years in prison Not to playdown on victims who seek closure their ...

  I have a love-hate relationship with my birthdays Crazy? I know.  The excitement, enthusiasm and all - far from me.  That's why I never post - In Addy to me. Nor, post - *"I'm plus 1 today"* Left for me, I'd disappear offline. Turn off my phone. Sleep. Wake up. Eat bread. Sleep again. But that would be rude to my amazing friends who celebrate me yearly. *Why do I feel this way?* Probably cos I always set these milestones for myself. And when I'm not hitting them, and it's another year round the calendar, I feel like shit. Almost underperforming if I should use the word. Phew... 2022 - 22 years Mehn, nka na-abịa. Someone is aging, lmao Using this Snapchat old-age filter, because what is Chinenye, without a lirru weirdness Happy Birthday, Chinenye Anikwenze.

  THE THINGS NO ONE TELLS YOU ABOUT GRIEF It envelopes you like a cloud. Follows you like a shadow.  On the sunny days, it lurks but is invisible. But gloomy days, it rears its ugly head piercing where it hurts the most. You are okay. But you are NOT You start questioning what could have been... How different everything would have all been.  I truly deeply wish it was different.  Some days, I shed silent tears that my mother would never come for Ọmụgwọ for me Some days, I feel the loss so deep and count the missed experiences. Others days, you breathe and exist through it. Live. The years actually doesn't make it better . It's even as if you're more aware of fragile mortality as you age. Grief... A permanent company . Always around. Won't ever leave as long as the loss occurred. It's been 12 years , Mummy. Keep resting, ezigbo Nne m Gone but never forgotten🤍🤍

Notes from April 10, 2021  "No, you're not being a critic. You're just a hater... filled with bitterness and have no sense of purpose." 2017-2019... I was a hater. Of Cardi B. I had a pure white or black approach towards her. It's either I choose her or Nicki Minaj. I was following pop-culture back-to-back and riding on its high. Not anymore.  Why this sudden somber reflection? 2 days ago, Nicki and Cardi were trending again on Twitter. And the hate was spitting in both directions. I was as apathetic to it as I would "clubbing and hang-outs." Then just today, I browsed Beyonce on Facebook and these plebians were spewing hate on someone who is a hardworker and remains relevant in the music space for over 20 years. And I noticed a pattern. It's only bitterness and lack of purpose induce those behaviours. When you have nothing going on in your life, nothing that gives you life, that's why you're living vicariously through hating and spewing dust...
