A case of Sexual Child Abuse

Its almost 1 am on this beautiful saturday morning. Came across this phone call and just had to share.
This is a MALE man that was abused as 9 year old. And two decades later, hes talking about it for the first time. You wanna know how a case of child abuse can go unquestioned forever?

How many cases of sexual abuse do we have properly documented and how many is happening around you right now that you are blind to. A child has no fighting chance against the 'Wisdom' Smartness and self determination of a pedophile (child molesters). It's happening and believe me, the perpetrators are often than not the very same people you trust with your child. My niece and nephew are not allowed to peck even their parents on the mouth (with all this "gimme a kiss baby coo sound we have nowadays) to such coos they give a slight peck on the cheek #Shikena! And anytime they visit me, or stay briefly with me, they give a full account of what happened, what they ate, drank, played with while they were with me. My niece will prolly tell her dad (my brother) how i washed her bum after she used the toilet. But believe me, if suddenly they get home from my place and one of them isn't eager to 'SPILL' on how i spoilt, disciplined/ all that happened. Then the parent know something is wrong. What am i trying to say? Ask your child questions. When grandma was visited? When you went to church Sunday school, While at school. When grandpa, uncle, aunty visited and helped with baby-sitting. (they slept in the kids room with doors wide-open I hope!). During sleepovers. I know you trust this people, but they also trust some people you do not know JACK about. Be actively involved with the details and don't assume 'cos you were together when you visited the village, nothing could have happened. Ask them questions. Especially for the very quiet ones. And you wanna know how a case of Abuse can go undetected? The lasting effect it has on the victims psyche? You need to listen to this. The last 3mins had tears rolling down my cheeks.

listen to ‘The Only Explanation You'll Need Of How Child Abuse Can Go Unreported’ on Audioboo

I hope, i really hope the victims in my country get help. Professional help. And if you were a victim and you are reading this, I am praying for you.
Parents!!!! Shine ya EYESZZZZ!!!!

MY 2012: AND THE WORLD DID NOT END!!!!

Its the last day of 2012 and I'm so excited about it. Its been a very interesting, sometimes adventurous 52weeks. Lots of down moments but for every blessing, trials, ups and downs, the disappointing moments, the hurts and heartbreaks, the healing process, the happy moments, the exciting days, the unsure moments and the very certain ones, I'm just really very grateful. That i have life, a mind to reason with and my head still properly screwed on. lol. That i have God and how he's always got my back and for that and more, i cannot thank God enough.

1st quater 2012.

Wrote my first PMP attempt and failed I wasn't well prepared i must say. Went for an open day for masters programs and made new friends. Oh, how can i forget the 'oil subsidy' removal and the chaos after? The enforced holidays and the hardship it placed on a lot of people. Still wondering what came out of the whole 'Drama" and if it really achieved anything. Anyways, 2012 really started after the strike was called off.

One of my best friend got married to the love of her life and i was maid of honor for the first time in my life. We were able to pull off a small bridal shower for her and It was really fun actually. The wedding ceremony was amazing and we were blessed with showers from heaven. lol. It was almost like heaven decided that earth was too dry and needed to get more than a lil wet! It wasn't anything like the flood in the days of Noah, but it sure seemed like it. My boyfriend and I broke up and i experienced 'heartbreak' for the very first time in my almost three decades of existence. I've heard about it, but i had no idea one could hurt that much.

2nd-3rd Quater 2012.
Drama! Drama! Drama!!
Prolly wasn't in the best state of mind to make some decisions but i did. Some i regretted,  others I am quite proud of. Cant really remember what happened but i realized i have very few true friends. And when the chips are down, people really disappear. lol. As in serious disappearance o!!!!
Oh well, the chaffs went and the true ones remained.
I started a teaching stunt with Lagos State Government and it was quite an experience. It baffled a lot of  the teachers there how i could finish from a private University and want to teach in a State secondary school. For me, it was an awesome experience and one i truly cherish. I loved my students and saw the potentials in them if only they could be steered in the right direction. I met the unruly ones too and they made me realize i am indeed not an average Nigerian. (lol). But all these are now part of the Historical records of my Foundation.
Having a female Principal was scary but she was pretty AMAZING and one of a kind. Having a female boss can be a nightmare and female principals have always been scary. But she showed me you can be a boss with a difference. She's got class, finesse and an attitude of excellence. These are all rare traits in the Public sector and definitely rare among civil servants.
Oh! the corruption in Civil Service is totally unbelievable. It's quite sad and I still wonder where and how the change will start.
Then the quality of teachers we have in secondary schools? Makes me wonder about the quality of students they will produce. Some teachers in my opinion need to go back to high school!
Everybody in my family left (travel, change of location) and somehow i was alone in the house. I actually kinda like living alone sometimes but thank God for my wonderful friend Mimi. She is a FAB babe that i have grown to love more and more after over a decade of being friends. Well over a decade ooo, almost getting to two!!!! Babe, we don dey old oooo. (hehehe). Anywayszz, she came to stay with me for more than a lil while and it was really fun, we got to talk and talk and talk.
Two things i realized as a single babe after so long. Courtesy isn't a very common character trait in town nowadays. 2. Ladies are really desperate to get married anyhow anyhow!!! Its like a new 'epidemic' in town. Sometimes i find it funny and sometimes it makes me sad 'cos it really is kinda sad.

3rd-4th Quater 2012
WOW! Yeah!! Went to Delta with the Covenant University Alumni HOPE foundation. It was an awesome experience doing our bit to help the Internally Displaced Persons of Patani Community in Delta State. It was my first real road-trip in Naija and It was very very interesting. Met people of like minds (Remi, Tobi, Folake, Sunkanmi, Ruth) with a heart burning to help anyone that needs help. Thanks guys for the HUGE opportunity. God Bless Patani residents.
My vacation plan to UK was delayed thanks to British High Commission. I missed a very important parry!!! Was pwetty annoying. Who wants a vacation during winter. Mschew.

For the first time in a long while, i had no car to drive and my 'going out' was totally reduced. I officially don't like danfo buses. They rip your clothes, you inhale too many body odors, the conductors are rude and sometimes you get wet from other people's sweat. YUCK! And the drivers can be sucidal!!! Totally Sucidal o.

I joined a music group and it was really something i needed more than my crew realized. It was therapeutic and exciting. The distance and journey to rehearsal venue can be tiring but the time spent there makes it very worthwhile. God bless our boss, Jim and Ejiro and every member of GLC.


All through the year, the high point was really my walk with God. I grew in leaps and bounds. Each day with him unravelled something new. With him I was able to overcome a lot of hurdles, make decisions and experience miracles. Then my sis and I grew closer in-spite of the thousands of mile between us. There really is nothing like having a Big Sis. Mine is Priceless and I love her now more than ever.


Well, thats the summary of my 2012. Will gist you about December next year! A lot can happen in less than 24hours and I'm expectant!!! It's not over until it's over so stay tuned and do not touch that dial! Oops! I mean don't forget to visit again soon or better still, follow my blog to get updates on new posts!  Thank You for been a Huge part of my 2012. Yeah, you!!! Mwah!

WELCOME TO 2013!!!!!!

Yup! Am special.

Or Not!!!! lol

My birthday was Thursday. Was a special day for me, ......ehmmm and my sooo many other birthday mates.lol. I remember when i was little, all my friends had birthday mates and i didn't. I thought i must be really special to be the only one born on the 7th day of June in the whole Universe. I was 8yrs old then. Couple of years later, i knew i was deceiving no one but myself.Hehehehe was fun believing that illusion though.

But am blogging today, not to share my birthday gist but to ask you to watch this video. 

 

If everyone is special then no one is. Instead of believing you're special because of your mere existence, earn the status through actual achievements. Much like, if every team in the league is a winner, is there really a winner recognized for skill, dedication & achievement?

Love the speech. 

And now i ask, how special are you? One in a million?

What made 2011 Special

It was a year full of disappointments, saying anything otherwise will be calling a spade an agricultural device.  But it was also a year full of miracles. God came through in different ways, he not only blessed me but he made me a blessing to people around me. Not in ways i want to be, but in ways he wanted me to be. He kept men, fed me with his grace, mercies, forgiveness, goodness, protected me, sometimes from myself (lol). And that's what i want my readers to focus on in their life not forgetting to learn from the negatives. 

God used friends to make this year special. I learnt a major lesson about reaching out for help. And i'm glad i did. Still a scary business learning to trust people. I can be soo quiet on personal stuffs and i love sorting out my issues myself! 

This blog is dedicated to those people who were there for me, sometimes with me. Thank you all for been there for me even when i didn't want you to be. Hopefully, i have been a true friend to them too. In case i haven’t, i promise to try  better friend next year. (oh, that's tomorrow  already!)

Friends are rare and God has (in an unusual way) kept me from fake people and he gave me true friends. Sometimes i think about it and i realise i am blessed to have these people in my life and i will always try never to take them for granted. Love u guys to pieces.

Maria,

You have been in my life for over a decade!!!! WOW! We are old oooo. Lol. You’ve seen me at different phase in my life and you are the one constant and my very first BFF. I love u babe. (we don't have pictures taken together?!!!)

 Ejiro,

WOW! Ejiro, you are a rare gem, funny, truthful, inspiring and a lover of God. Couldnt have asked for better from God. Love u 2 pieces and i promise not to cry on that day! *wink*

Lara, Ejiro, Tosin

Tgal,

The very first friend from my first day in college, weird, quiet, sincere, thoughtful, protective, inspiring and absolutely crazy about God. I’ve seen you grow to become a true woman of God. And cannot wait to be one of your Maids of honour. Lol. The devil tried to come between us. But we shamed me and told him the God in us was bigger. Lol. I love you now more than ever.

Deola

WOW! You were the answer to a girls quiet prayer some 11 years ago. And you have stayed true since then. Even when people around us tried to confuse us. We knew what we had and we were not confused! Lol. I love you and am totally proud of the man you have become. Remember when we were wondering @ some point if we were related? Heheheheheehe. But we share same father, our heavenly father. We may not see often or talk like before but catching up again this year was more than a lil nice.

Yemine

My love, my darlyn, me very own Yemine. Wonder why it took you so long to come into my life. You are an inspiration, smart, gentle yet strong, kind and sincere, blunt to a fault! A special gift from God to me. We have grown and we still are growng and i pray God will always keep you for me. Love u like dt like dt. lol

Lara n Yemi

David

You are indeed a man of God. Thank you for been not just Yemi's friend, but mine too (yup, am stealing you from him, lol).  I owe you a very big hug. Thanks for making 2011 a special one. Mwah!

My mum

She probably doesn't even know i have a blog. But you are more than a mother to me, you are my friend, my inspiration, and the very best mum (Trust me, if you know her, you'll envy me!!!). Thanks for been there for me. Love you plenty!

Happy 2012 everyone. 

Second best Christmas Eve, ever!

2011 was my best Christmas eve ever! oh, second best i should say, my best Christmas eve was.......... To the main gist joh!

Spent most of the day in my home-town with old friends (we all came for the party) and it was really awesome catching up. Got to the town at about 3pm on 23^rd. Had to do sooo much dusting and cleaning up of my Dads house , no thanks to the harmattan.

Then left to see the bride-to be and was she excited! Lol. I was super-doper excited too. She was FINALLY getting married to her boy-friend of about 11years (Abeg, sisters don’t even go there!). I mean what were they thinking? The psychological Trauma???? (lol, am a drama queen so allow me ...).seriously!!!!

Anyway, we sat outside with some mutual friends, gisting for over 2hours! We talked about everything and anything. Mostly we made fun of one of us. The guy had become soo lean, I called his bum Cardboard. And the bride called him ironed and flattened out box! I wonder what he will say IF he gets to read this (*covering ma face*).

Finally, after a lot of merry go rounding we ended up at ma place and talked till we were dropping with sleep! We had no idea when we will have the opportunity to be together again! L

24^th- Woke up by 7am (Engagement was for 7:30) with heavy and sleepy eyes. Dragged myself to the bathroom and had my bath, (i was still overcome with sleep o). Then decided to have breakfast in my own interest. I shall not go hungry. Amen.

 The guys left my place to go get their groomsmen uniform from the groom only to discover one of the shirt was stolen (My Naija people sha!)

Oh, it was my cardboard bum friend’s shirt that got stolen.  Hahahahahahahaha

I got to the Engagement venue after 1hr of running around and met the latter part of the engagement. The bride gave me a huge smile and asked me to drop her at home so she can change to her gown. We got to her place and the gown was just soo beautiful. Blossom Bridals did a very good job sha.

Fast Forward to church, the bride was 6mins lateJ. The service was about 2hours long. Yours truly left in between service to run some personal mumsy’s errand. Tried to use the ATM and  after going to a couple of ATMs i realised i was holding a very useless card. Thank God for Backup plan and the wisdom of topping up  fuel in the car on arrival the previous day.

Got back to church and the service was still on (Oh ma dayszzzz!). My church really has made it difficult for me to sit for more than an hour for a church wedding service.

Fast forward to reception, it was beautiful, the Bride was happy, the groom was happy and everyone was dancing. I was on drugs! Lol I was sooooo happy and mushy at the same time.  Theirs is a testimony of the faithfulness of God and the power of prayers.

Anyways, more catching up for me and my friends. I sadly remembered i was still going back to Lagos same day and i did not want my boyfriend calling me while i was yet to leave my home town (he didn’t even call sha) and him getting upset over my setting out for Lagos late. I painfully bade my dear friends good byeszzz and got to Lagos in  record time.

All in all, it was a beautiful day and friends made it a memorable one for me and i hope our presence made it a memorable day for the couple. Happy married life Mr and Mrs Obasola and God Bless your home. I love you guys soo soooo much!

Me setting out, very late actually

Here comes the bride

And now we welcome Mr and Mrs Obasola!

My Free Day

Decided to try the unusual last Wednesday and watch Naija movies at the cinema back to back. Got to "The Palms, Lekki" for 10:10am after sharing breakfast with a friend who was going in for a major exam.

Got to the theater about 10 mins after the movie (return of Jenifa) started. Initially, I didn't find it a tad funny, the commercial adverts coined into the roles….., irritating. I mean, who cares about any Telco service providers performance or non performance in my movie? A comedy for that matter! Or who cares about tax or no tax? I think a lil more creativity would have been nice. But it got interesting and i actually laughed quite hard (i hardly get to 'laff' in movies except for Tom and Jerry of course). It ended up been nice and relaxing, I love the HIV/AIDS awareness thingy. And I’ll prolly go check ma status again soon. Yup! done it before. (Thanks to ma Alma-Mater). I’ll definitely recommend it if you can ignore the initial annoying adverts coined to the roles. I still prefer the first “Jenifa.”. All in all, its nice to watch a Nigerian comedy that did not involve baba suwe and had people like Denrele, Eldee, Kafayat (lol), and Funke herself.

Next movie was gona start about an hour after the first ended. So I decided a lil window shopping would be nice! I looked around, and was glad i did not have enough on me to shop. For me, shopping is therapeutic and always relaxing. There’s a very disappointing shop @ The Palms, Lekki; they just never have anything interesting. But Mango never disappoints! So glad I did not go with ma card!!! Phew!

I also went to the MTN store; those customer care ladies are so fine! Jeez! And the only guy there: (oh ma dayzzz!!! He was sooo fine! long sigh) attended to yours truly and he solved ma problem (*wide grin*).

My next movie, was due by the time I was through, (did I just rhyme?). But trust Naija and keeping to time. The movie started 30 mins late! So had time to look around and make up stories about everyone around me. Most interesting was a couple; I'm a romantic so what do you expect? The just kept on giggling over only God knows what, and made me miss ma boo even more. Finally the movie started after 30mins! (Noticed nobody was complaining about that and couldn’t help wondering if that was a norm?)

The movie, Two Brides and a baby; totally loved it. The script writer did a good job and was glad to see new faces taking up lead roles (new faces to me, I may be wrong). The story is pretty much like the title, two brides, a groom and the baby. Lol. Nope, I'm not spilling! Go and watch.

Had to rush out of The Palms to avoid Lekki traffic and be on time to pick up ma friend (latest CCIE in town!) lol.

You ask, “Why is this day worth blogging about?” Ahem...ehmmm..... never mind. Ill prolly share the reason soon enough. 
Kinda busy prepping for an exam I have been procrastinating on for about eight. But am getting ma groove back! So back to reading!

Have a fab weekend people. And Thank God it’s FRIDAY!!!! Go watch two brides and a baby with a friend.

Dear Future Mr Right

This was a broadcast i got on my blackberry messenger and kinda like it. Its funny, candid and on point i think. So Read, Enjoy but also take it seriously. 
Oh, and my favourite part? "The PS!!!!" heheheheheehe. You have been warned!!!.

Dear Future Mr. Right,
I and every other girl on the planet has dreamt of you since we were 15, I sure hope you exist because if you don’t it will mean I have been wasting my time and if you do I sure hope you are using this time to improve on yourself spiritually, financially, romantically and domestically so that you would at least be worth the wait.
I hope for the sake of our future kids that............ you are tall seeing as I am as well…wouldn't want some to be cheated. I also hope that you are at least good looking (can’t keep explaining) to people that you have a good heart). I want you to be strong, independent, hardworking, responsible and a leader but do us both a favor and don’t always tell me what to do, this is a partnership not a monarchy.

As concerns our future kids (who MUST be cute) I expect you to be fully involved in their upbringing and not just paying their fees you should spend time with them and get to know them individually irrespective of their gender. It is also important to note that I am not interested in being a housewife; my certificate is not a wallpaper, I intend to use it! Except of course, if you decide to pay my salary (6 or 7 figures of course).

I have plenty issues and I suspect you do as well so please be patient with me because I will with you, also please don’t take me for granted yes I love you but that doesn’t mean that after a few years you forget my existence and we become roommates instead of partners, oh and always listen or at least pretend to when I am talking (football match or not) in order to avoid quarrels. Marriage is hard work I sure hope you are as ready to make it work as I am.
In conclusion, I don’t want to be number 1 with you (that’s God’s spot, let him have it), I don’t want you to build your life around me and die if I am not there (I consider that obsession). I do however, want to be number 2 on the scale of importance above your family, friends and yes even yourself.
Remember I love you big and if you miss me, it will be your loss!
Yours’ Lovingly,
Mrs. Right




P.s.If you ever as much as raise your finger against me, it will probably be the last time you use that arm …#just saying# LOL

My love or lack of it for Okadas

It was a hot Thursday  afternoon and I was at my nephews school to pick him up. As I was about to park by the school, i heard raised voices and saw an okada (commercial motorcycle) rider harrasing a babe standing by him. The man was "scolding her" because the helmet fell off her head and the babe (lets call her Babe) was trying to apologise but the man went on and on and on. Finally, Babe said  she wasnt going with the guy again and was going to stop another okada. The okada man said no problem as long as she pays him the full fare to which Babe said no way, since he just picked her up. The okada man parked his bike and practically pushed her (assault?) and pulled her clothes, telling her she had 2 choices..........Did not wait to hear what her options were.


Anyway, i went in to pick my darlyn nephew and coming out, i saw Babe getting on the okada and couldn't help but shake my head. 


I know i really, reallllllyyyyyy dislike bikes, especially in Lagos ( i still take them o). They are rough, ignorant of the traffic rules and above the law. What happened to the days of few motorcycles on the road?
Another bike story i read somewhere (www.nigerianfilms.ccom)

A woman popularly known as Alhaja, real name (withheld) came recently to Lagos on a visit from Ibadan. When she alighted from the bus at Ojodu-Berger, she waved down an okada rider that would take her to Iju, a suburb of Ifako Agege. But that singular action was her undoing and she had a story of woe to tell in respect of that incident.

“In the first place, I was not supposed to stop the okada rider on that terrible day. But I was in a hurry to keep an appointment with my friend whom I had come to visit concerning an important issue. Besides, it was already getting late as I got down from the bus at Ojodu-Berger around 10 p.m. as we were riding along the way, the okada rider just stopped suddenly. As he snatched my handbag, he pushed me into the nearby gutter. He quickly made a U-turn and sped away with my bag, with all the precious things contained therein.”


And a personal experience i had in 2006, the okada i was on was weaving and slicing through traffic like knife on butter and suddenly, he wanted to do a u-turn but i saw the trailer coming and asked him to wait, he didn't and a moment later, we were both on the floor right in front of the trailer (tanker) taking gasoline somewhere. The tanker miraculously had good breaks so we came out unscratched. I paid the Bike-man and called someone at home to come pick me up at the bus/stop which was a walking distance away.
This sole incident, led to my going to a driving school and the buying my very first car. 


The okada is apparently both a blessing and a curse as it can get you to that business meeting that will change your life (and that of the next 10 generations after you) with the same speed and reliability that can get you to that operating table in the hospital or even worse.  Like it did to my  friend who had a major bike accident 2weeks before his wedding!!! Thank God the devil was put to shame.

I really hope, a time will come in Lagos, when there will be a proper screening of okada riders and a way to properly train them or maybe ban them totally?  After all, they banned Okada in Abuja and the people there are still alive. 


Ahem, the buses are not any better too, But that's a 'ramble' for another day.  Gotta go to bed. Happy Sunday people

Lack of Inspiration?

Well, am just wondering why i havent been able to blog for a while now.  I have so many drafts...-well not so many but more than a few drafts- but cant seem to develop them. So here I am, studying for PMP (thats Project Management Professional exam) and I've got Damita Haddon on repeat for like the last hour and thought," hey! mights as well share that with my readers (whatever's left of that traffic)."
So here it is and hope you are ministered to as you listen. Its a song thats blessed me over and over again. And I hope as you listen, you receive inspiration for the new week....

Ciao.

Hopefully this will break the 'jinx' of not been able to write. :)

Another one from Lara......

Hey!! Where Did Everybody Go?!

PLEASE READ - THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT TO EVERYONE WHO USES FACEBOOK FOR BUSINESS OR PERSONAL REASONS!!

Have you noticed that you are only seeing updates in your newsfeed from the same people lately? Have you also noticed that when you post things like status messages, photos and links, the same circle of people are commenting and everyone else seems to be ignoring you?

Don't worry, everyone still loves you and nobody has intentionally blocked you. The problem is that a large chunk of your friend/fan list can't see anything you post and here's why:
The "New Facebook" has a newsfeed setting that by default is automatically set to show ONLY posts from people who you've recently interacted with or interacted the most with (which would be limited to the couple of weeks just before people started switching to the new profile). So in other words, for both business and personal pages, unless your friends/fans commented on one of your posts within those few weeks or vice versa - you are now invisible to them and they are invisible to you!!

HERE'S THE FIX: On the homepage click the "Most Recent" title on the right of the Newsfeed, then click on the drop down arrow beside it and select "Edit Options", click on "Show Posts From" and change the setting to "All Of Your Friends and Pages" (you can also access the "Edit Options" link at the very bottom of the facebook homepage on the right)
Note: Business pages do not have a newsfeed however page owners should adjust the settings on their personal accounts.

The good news is: now you can now view all of your friends and fans again. The bad news is: YOU ARE STILL INVISIBLE to a large portion of your list. You must get the word out to ALL of your friends and fans by inviting them to this event or creating one of your own so they can read the post and adjust their settings. To invite your friends: Click on "Attending" at the top and then you will see an option to invite your friends under the smiley face. It’s public so everyone who logs onto facebook can view it and even the friends who can’t see your posts WILL see the event invitation. You can also tweet about it, create a blog post or send out an email to your subscribers in hopes of reaching them all.

GONE WITH THE WIND OF 2010?

Yipieee!!!!! Countdown to the most exciting time of the year, Countdown to Christmas!!!! Or is it Countdown to a new year?

For some, its time to start that shopping list (for shopaholics, economy don't matter), for others, it's time to  start thinking of  new resolutions or if you like, call them decisions for the new year.

Well, for me, it's time to look back, from January to October (if you haven't already) and all the resolutions/decisions  that was made in January 2010 during or before all the New Year Fireworks. Am sure some desires, aspirations, expectations et al,  have not been met.  And for some, they cant even remember what those resolutions were!!! (Gone with the Wind of 2010?).

Is there something you really want from 2010 but you just have not been able to grasp? A boyfriend? Girlfriend? A Job? A new apartment? More money? Well, here a "TOT" from me, IT'S NOT OVER JUST YET!!!.  

It's just time for you to change your approach to getting your desires or goals. My mum has a saying, "whenever you are searching for something, if you have tried looking at all the possible places, try the impossible ones. After this, repeat the cycle again"  What do I mean? Let me illustrate with a story.

Luke is a young 23 year old graduate from a fab school with a great (or maybe not so great) result. He has been trying to get a Job for the past couple of years. He has sent his CV to hundreds of companies (both indigenous and multinationals), he's been invited for more than a couple of interviews but still, he doesn't have an offer. It's November and he's going into his 3rd year at home, Mum and dad are tired of giving him allowances for the week.....even though they not saying anything (or maybe they are, lol). 

Well, If Luke doesn't want to end the year on this Note, its time for him to change his approach. How you may ask? He has to decide the kind of Job he wants, the companies he would like to work for and then go ahead and offer his services to that each one of them for FREE. Am pretty sure one in 3 of them will give him a chance.

This is not a common approach in this country (Nigeria). I think it is time for the young people in our society to know that  sometimes sacrifices have to be made, we just expect people to give us a chance and when they don't, we fold our hands? No!!! We have to sometimes CREATE those chances for ourselves. And really God can only bless the work of your hand if you have one!!!!!!

For the young man or woman whose expectation is a boyfriend or girlfriend, wife or husband? Do you still have a chance in 2010? Watch out for the next BLOG!
