ON MY PATH TO BEING DELIBERATE

Two years ago, I decided to start a blog. I loved the idea back then and I really felt that blogging will be an avenue for me to share my life and thoughts with the world. I, first, got a WordPress account (which I couldn't get the hang of) then I switched to this platform: Blogger. Blogged suited me perfectly as it was easy to navigate and very cost effective. I wrote a few articles....and then I stopped. My reasons ranged from my inability to blog with my phone to my laziness as regards writing and many more reasons which my head can't wrap itself around now. I just stopped. Though, once in a while, I did remember I had a blog, this blog was all but forgotten.

 In a few months time, I'll be graduating from the University and I have decided to be more deliberate with my life and the things I venture into. My next post will be my goals for the next 1 year....especially post graduation and how I intend to achieve them. Reigniting my love for writing is something that has been on my list for a long time and I'm glad that, with the aid of this blog, I'll be able to tell my stories freely and without hindrance.

 Though this blog will be having a very personal and random touch, there are other personal things I would love to use this platform to discuss. The topics will be ranging from book reviews to movie reviews, character reviews, nation building, personal growth and much more. Of course, there'll be short stories too (I really love stories) written by me.

 I wouldn't be taking down the previous posts from years back. Though I'm starting afresh, I would like to have blog reminders of the posts I made the first time I started. Going down history lane is a very beautiful process that I strongly feel we all should be a part of. And I wouldn't want to discard my days of early beginnings.

 Please stay tuned to this blog and walk with me as I overcome my writer's block and analyse your favourite books and movies through my atypical lenses. I would also love to have a community of people who share their thoughts and frequently comment on each post. That way, a family of readers and critiques can be built. Feel free to call me out on any sign of me giving up or throwing in the towel.

 Much Love,

 Nubian.

    I can't wait for your blog to grow. Would be really interesting. The way you inspire people without knowing. We must continue to grow and improve ourselves everyday.

    Akudo, it is your duty to inspire us. It is our duty to stay connected to your very rich, deep and ravishing soul, through your writeups. I am here. Don't stop writing. Thanks for sharing yourself ingeniously with your world. I think every genius should be appreciated first for taking that bold step to share his ideas and visions. Daalu!

    I look forward to reading your blogs. I think I am still in the phase of writer's block. My blog http://kennedyodokonyero.blogspot.com hasn't been updated in a very long time. Hopefully your blog can motivate me to start blogging again.

We All Are Role Models

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...
