LIFE. GOALS. JOYS. SORROWS.

As inspired by Faith Wanjohi from Kenya
*******************************************       LIFE
Life, to me, is a gift. A gift from God and I strongly believe we were put on this earth to make a mark/impact. I believe noone(including me) is indispensable and that everyone is important.
I also believe in humanity and God. I don't believe in religion....people hide under the guise of it to cause more and more damage to the world. I don't believe in injustice and marginalization ....of any sort.
I have role models and mentors not because I want to be like them but because, watching them, my path can be properly guided and I can be well motivated to achieve my goals.
I have a love/hate relationship with people. People are a blessing but sometimes they can be frustrating.
In general, I love life.☺

GOALS
A zillion. My sister says that I am a jack of all trades. I agree. I don't believe a person should be limited to any path he/she chooses to follow. If you can do it all, please do. If you have passion for something, run with it.
1) I wanna be an influencer. I want my life to be a source of inspiration to others.
2) I want to be rich. I'm not greedy though but the state of my economy has taught me that money rules the world. You will make little or no impact without it.
3) Marriage. For companionship sake. I don't believe in settling down. Why must I settle down? When I have a world out there to conquer.
5) I want to heal the world and make it a better place...by whatever means possible. If Pharmacy would help me achieve that, then great. If Business will, great. If Economics will, great. If all 3 and more will, great.
6) I want to be a Nation Builder, a Global Shaper, a force to be reckoned with.
7) To make heaven at the end of it all😊

JOYS
I'm happy to be alive.😅😅😅This is my greatest joy. I'm happy I'm blessed with a wonderful and supportive family. I'm happy I'm blessed with amazing friends. I'm happy I have many gifts. Quite a lot.💃🏾 Books make me happy...so does travel. I'm happy I'm loved by those who matter (if you hate me, well, we all can't be loved...I'll count that as your loss🤓). Writing....this is one gift of mine that I truly enjoy😅. I'm happy that I live in a relatively peaceful environment. ☺

SORROWS
I'm sad that the world is in a bad place right now. Terrorism is the order of the day...everywhere...even in my dear country, Nigeria. I'm sad about the rate of intolerance....tribal, racial, religious, e.t.c...it's sickening. I'm sad that the wrong people end up being the leaders. People who are apathetic. People who are there just for the name and benefits/dividends of holding an office. I'm sad that the spirit of servitude is lost among men. I'm sad that majority of the youths, the future leaders of tomorrow, aren't concerned about the fate of the future.
I'm sad I'm broke😂. I'm sad I've lost some loved ones. I'm sad that the world is sick. I'm sad that people find it easier to hate than to like.
I'm sad that we don't live in a state of utopia.

So here goes....my views about life, my goals, my joys and my sorrows.😘

Would like to hear yours in the comment section.....

We All Are Role Models

Image
I, with the help of an amazing team, organized a laudable health mission at Nnobi. But the best part wasn't just taking care of people and attending to the medical and drug needs of a village. The best part was the pride and the motivation to be a better me. I really did feel like a light. I felt I was contributing. I know all of us Pharmacy Students felt the same way too. People walk up to you and tell you "My daughters are studying so they can be like you when they grow up". Trust me, those are the best words I've heard all year. I'm soooo glad I'm training to be a health professional and also that I'm being a source of inspiration to people, both known and unknown. It's a totally amazing feeling. Can't be replaced by anything in the world. This favourite quote of mine from my first year totally captures it all... In Marianne Williamson's words, Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyo...

MY DUAL NATIONALITY

I am enroute Lagos for what I choose to call a business trip. In the usual fashion of most buses, a suited man starts praying to God, committing the journey in his hands which is fine by me. Then, out of the blues, he begins to pray for Biafra....in his opinion, a country destined for world greatness and ordained by God. I looked at my friend, Dubem, with incredulity. Wow! Just wow! It was funny, ridiculous and saddening at the same time. And to think that most Igbos want a Biafra. A country that has no fixed ideology. A country born out of our inherent need for independence. A country that would be made up of one-third the people of Nigeria. It baffles me that they can't see ....or rather, they've refused to see...that, unless the core Nigerian issues are addressed, the Biafran state will not succeed. Though I don't blame those who want a Biafra, it is still a sad thought. To most people, Biafra is a symbol of hope. Something to anticipate and pray for in this almost de...

Tribalism Has A Bad Smell

Image
I have always thought that the Northerners are the major crop of Nigerians who just can't seem to stand the Igbos. I honestly thought we were tolerant of other tribes...at least to some extent. But something happened that abruptly changed my mind. My school is hosting a convention of all the Pharmacy schools in Nigeria and people from all parts of the nation were in attendance. Hausas. Yorubas. Efik. Middle belt. Etc. After a hectic event, people were very hungry and I decided to show them to a nearby eatery owned by a Calabar woman. The moment these guys (about 17) alighted their bus and walked into the eatery, every other costumer stood up and left. Some even left their food half eaten or untouched and there was a sickening smell of tension and fear in the air. I started to feel bad for bringing them there in the first place. I honestly felt for them....the hostile attitude just by virtue of their tribe. I discussed the experience with friends and they all felt it was the norm...
