COMMON MISINTERPRETATIONS 

Misinterpretation of Celebrating Boxing DaySome people often believe the day is all about Boxing Sport that is why you hear:
  • Meet me at the ring
  • Lets' exchange fist
  • If you are man enough let's fight it out
  • I chose you as my ring mate prior the real day (26th December)
Now imagine, if this is actually it's meaning.
What do you think of the GLOBE today?
Can you account for the numerous victims from the scenario?
Obviously, today will be for the legendary boxers (Floyd Mayweather, Pacquaio, Anthony Joshua and so on) which will affect the lifespan of the globe. Due to the strength in their fist, some people will rather die instantly while some will sustain serious injuries which can lead to death afterwards.

    It is funny cos it took me time too to understand what that day is meant for. I just imagine why 2 days will be set aside to celebrate opposite things.
    You show me love on 25th, and beat the hell out of me on 26th, then what happens to the love of the previous day? isn't it funny?.
    But we are the one's that misinterpreted it in Nigeria, other people in some part of the world understands what boxing day means and they observe it well

Unanswered Questions about Lekki Toll Gate Massacre on the 20th October 2020

It came as a shock to me and many other Nigerians waking up to the news of some unarmed youths shot at by security officials at the most coordinated protest ground in Lagos, Nigeria. The exact figures of fatalities were unaccounted for considering some middle grounds. These were based on the controversial news spread by the protesters, the state government, the Nigerian Army and the Presidency across the mass media.  Mr Governor said, "forces beyond his direct control were responsible for the heinous act" in his speech on the 21st October 2020. He went further to say there were no fatalities recorded. The Nigerian Army denied involvement in the horrific scene while the Presidency also maintained the same ground as others making the storyline more complicated.  However, there were a series of events possibly justifying that the horrible attack on harmless protesters were deliberate actions to frustrate youths clarion call to end police brutality and bad governance in the count

Are you Ready for the Future you Beckoning to Come?

The central idea of this post was curled from one of the Facebook live session of popular multiple Amazon Bestselling Author, an award-winning Entrepreneur, and International Speaker " Edirin Edewor ". The theme of the session was: so you want to go viral? In the session, I learnt the importance of being ready for the future we calling to come. How we get set before it happens? All credit goes to her for continually shunning out values every now and then. From the session, I saw that preparedness is the mother of success. Your preparedness now determines your future when it finally comes. How prepared are you for the journey? Edirin shared three stories in the live session but I will share one here. One of the stories she shared was about Amanda Gorman, the first National Youth Poet Laureate at the age of 22years. Her story got to me because of how hardwork and persistence pay within a twinkle of an eye. Note, you only need one person, one moment, one event, one idea, one pla

Twitter Ban in Nigeria: Important Considerations and Way Forward

Image
Twitter was literally banned by the Federal Government of Nigeria yesterday the 4th June 2021 owing to the removal of the genocidal posts made by the Presidency on his official Twitter page. Correspondingly, Facebook also removed the post from the Presidency page too due to its incitement of violent threats towards average Nigerians. We really do not know if the Federal Government will ban Facebook too. It's very funny and unexpected that Nigerian government placed a ban on Twitter in the country and also used the same app to make such post. As at today, 5th June 2021, the Twitter app is still working without the use of VPN and I wonder what a ban it is and when it's going to take its full effect. To think a press conference was organized immediately after the removal of the Presidency's post on an app against many heinous acts going on in the country without receiving such attention is telling us many things. One, this government has chose to prioritize comedy against the
