It's fine if you don't agree with me!

Just yesterday night, before we all went to sleep,

my dad put on his radio set, and for me, I had detached myself from listening to radio, except on Saturday's where I get to listen to my favorite presenter whom I became a fan of when I was in 

SSS 1.

I was about to enter into my room, when the conversation between this two presenters held me back. Curious of "which and what" I went back, now close to where the radio set is.

When it was time for people to comment, with interest I waited for people's call to come in,

the annoying part of the thing is that the point they make didn't go well with me.


The talk is about, "either speaking the mother tongue (Yoruba) or speaking English, which one is important". As if that argument wasn't enough, they then proceeded to the one that made me really high 😆


It says "will you marry a woman who can't speak English".     

In my mind, I was like who doesn't want a good thing.😁

I really wish you listened to the caller's reply.


Truth be told,  I was displease with the idea of the people who laid their comment.

Many of them were on the opinion that "the local language matter while the English language is just pure nonsense". 


I was like and you are praying to go abroad, what will you be speaking there?. Your Nigeria language? 🤔

Someone even made one of the awkward (I won't say stupid, because we are all entitled to our own opinion) comment, I will ever hear in recent time.

she said a rich man's daughter can marry a guy who doesn't go to school(you would agree with me that mostly people who don't go to school in my country can't speak English).


In my mind I was like seriously! 🤔

In this 21st century👀, to much of Nollywood is affecting this one.



To be frank enough the argument isn't what I really want to go into.

What I want you to know is, the two are important.

I love promoting culture as a person, but with this kind of country we find ourselves, if you want to go global learn the other language.


Imagine comparing Nigeria to China.🧐

As an individual it is important that you update yourself, there are many secret to that success you are aiming, that you would never find in your local language as a Nigerian.

From the look of things, one thing I really believe is,



if something was written in a language that is not common to everyone, but the main goal is for everyone to see and be able to read it, so they can understand.


You must translate it to general language that almost everyone understands, else it won't get anywhere (the supposed information would be nonsense).


So for me in this present planet I know, I believe English is the common language that we need to learn.

More importantly, do not displace one for the other, they are both essential.

Linch Pin To Being Lucky

Some months back, I was privileged to be at a book club hangout. As I remembered that day, I made effort to jar my memory about everything that happened on that day. Amongst the things I remember was, been called upon to make an introduction about myself. After saying my name and all of that, the anchor, whose energy level I dearly admire asked me a question. The question she asked was, "do you believe in luck?" With a long pause, I thought hmmm! Why did I get that kind of question? I mean–every other person's were been asked about their hobby and this is what I got! Well, this is a tough one, who doesn't pray to be lucky?! I can't really recall everything I said, but I recalled saying something like, "luck is not as important as preparation"; I went ahead making instances to justify my claim. When I looked back at what I said that day, I realized that, I tend to still agree with it, because when you are lucky–apart from winning a lottery–it could only m...

  Rather than seeing fast growth as a goal, see it as an adjustable variable; that's even if you're in for the infinite game. This entails that you strategically slow the rate of your growth, by extending your tentacles as a means to acquire enough skill and training that would help you move head long in the midst of added pressure, because there's going to have a lot of them as you journey along in your endeavors. What make an endeavor "successful" is not in that endeavor itself, it is the individuals who are behind that endeavor that determine how successful it would be. ~PCI

How decisions shape who we become

Image
Have you ever been in a situation where you are having a back and forth talk with someone–as to what should be done– and all they keep saying is, " I have made up my mind; this is my decision!" Have you? Oftentimes, decisions are as a result of a convictions or evidences we have, based on the matter at hand; sometimes, it could just be because of the outcome or objective that we have at the back of our mind. Making or taking decisions can most times be dicey...because there's no  difference between that and responding to something. It's quite the same! Your decision determines your response. To put this in a better perspective,  your decisions are pre-determinant of your reactions; every response you once gave is due to decision you've once made, be it private or publicly.  However, in most cases, your decisions will not be consistent with life happenings, therefore, be careful of what decisions you are making, because  decisions are powerful, once you made them t...
