With a genuine conversation, they’ll let you capture images of the cloud and even share in your enthusiasm without making you feel awkward in this moment. This isn’t the bus from Oshodi to Lagos Island, therefore, you don’t need to be too careful when you are seated by the window seat of the airplane.

 In psychology, the swan is a symbol of awakenness. Developing the knowledge of self, grace, balance, and self-esteem. This article was born during my conversation with a friend of mine earlier in the month of March. A swan seems to be my spirit animal. Specifically, boys like me are swans. Those people who suffered low self-esteem growing up but suddenly developed a healthy self-worth through continuous self-development, pursuit of happiness, and, of course, a relationship with God. Life as a swan (Photo credit: Asko Lippo) Swans are large, graceful waterbirds belonging to the genus Cygnus. They are known for their long necks, white or black plumage (depending on species), and strong pair bonds. It is important to note that the photos in this article were taken by my friend, Asko Lippo .  Here are some key facts to note about swans: Species: The most common swan species include the mute swan (Cygnus olor), whooper swan (Cygnus cygnus), trumpeter swan (Cygnus buccinator), and...

Until you spend some quality time with nature, you might not understand the languages of God's impeccable creation. The whispering of the trees and the allure of the waters as they flow. The world belongs to us, and it is our jurisdiction as humans to enjoy the beauty bestowed upon us by God. At the campfire site the other day, I inhaled some of the freshest air I have ever breathed in adulthood.  Adekunle Fajana (Documenting worthwhile moments)   On Saturday, March 8, my friend and   I , Asko Lippo, cruised down to a campfire site (which is called Nuotiopaikka in Finnish) in Espoo, Finland. The atmosphere was cozy, amiable, and conducive; every moment spent in front of the sea was worthwhile, as it was relaxing and soothing to the skin, simply put, it was therapeutic, and you'll experience it vicariously while staring at this page (that's my aim by the way).  This is the ideal weather for every individual. I recommend it for those who have spent time in harsh and t...

  I am composing this article after reading John C. Maxwell’s bestselling book, ‘Talent Is Never Enough’. In this article, I simply want to remind the reader that talent is the most quintessential tool for garnering attention and becoming a prominent person in this current generation. Talent differs from person to person, but talent is the natural ability to do something creative with ease. A talented person sheds light when he enters a room, like a rain, drenching everyone in the scene with his aura and personality; he embodies a skillset and vision that cannot be seen by many. Every human on earth is talented, however, not everyone recognizes the skillset and natural ability that has been bestowed upon them by God. People lose their abilities for various reasons, while some people never get to live up to their full potential, some others struggle to even give their essence and talent a proper expression, simply because they have been ridiculed for being ‘different’. Never a...

 GRWM stands for Get Ready With Me. It is simply the modern approach where the social media content creator creates a video for their audience- they prepare the content to inform their viewers about how they intend to go about their day. In recent times, everyone uses social media. Social media has become a part of our daily lives; when we wake up in the morning, the first thing we do is check those who have left a message for us. Also, we go through various social media platforms such as X (otherwise known as Twitter), Facebook, Instagram, etc., before delving into the day. The emergence and combustion of social media in the last decade have seen the birth of several professions, such as digital marketing, Google Analytics, social media management, search engine optimization (SEO) expert, and the list goes on. Social media is a quintessential part of our lives, so it is only ideal that people take advantage of the opportunities that social media is offering in this generation....

There is joy in the chaos, a momentum that would arrive at the essence of your destiny.  Through the pandemonium, meaninglessness of existence, and the toil of daily observations in the voyage of our everyday lives, there is usually a good in everything that we go through- should you choose to understand the moment and acknowledge it with a heart of graciousness and openness.  It is usually the tussle and bustle of each day that helps to develop our character.  The development emerges from going through the heinous phase of our lives and developing an incredible persona. Everything you are going through today serves a significance for your tomorrow. Should you not have what you desire the most, engage in the absoluteness of your today and keep working on it, best believe, it can only get better.  Whatever you are going through today, it is simply a phase; you will eventually align with your desire should you decide to paddle your canoe against the wind and wage war...

  I love Nigeria, it is my home country. It is where I was born, it is etched eternally in my DNA, I am Nigerian to the core- my accent, my way of life, my perception of reality; all that I know, all I’ll ever know was established from the inner creeks of Mushin, Lagos state in Nigeria. I love Nigeria, unapologetically, I am Nigerian- today, tomorrow, and forever. Unfortunately, the heinous events ongoing in the country have made me question my admiration for the nation I love. The policies and the cost of living are choking me, meanwhile, the state government is doing little to nothing to support and cater to my well-being, instead, the rulers are only seeking means to put me in financial ruin and annihilate me emotionally. They have put me in a chokehold where the only option is to abscond from the four walls of the country and seek protection from elsewhere. The aerial view of Lagos state (Photo Credit: Delta News Hub) I love Nigeria but every morning when I wake, my heart a...
