The Positive Outreach

The Misuse of Social Media in Today's Generation. Social media is developed for creating and sharing information, interests and ideas. All these cuts across various sectors such as career, education, fashion, entertainment, news and etc. They can either be in form of a website, platform or an application and they are mostly designed to be interactive. Some can be a standalone for that specific reason of interacting with other people or they can be built-in with some other established and existing applications. Majority of these applications are web-based. Mode of communication and information technology has changed rapidly in the last 20yrs and still developing further, the emergence of social media is the apex. For easy access - most of these applications if not all, not only do they have the web version, they also have a mobile version. So, if you are unable to access via your desktop or laptop, you can be assured of not missing a thing while on the road. As

Your Language - Your Culture And Your Tradition.   To confuse a man, take away his identity. A man’s identity is his language, his culture, and tradition. In this day and age, many people are getting carried away embracing a new found culture – mostly the Western culture. The influence of the western culture on the continent of Africa cannot be overemphasized. The western culture in no doubt has its advantages but not without coming with the baggage of unfit and series of negative influence. Culture is important – most people are of the thought that having a culture or having a tie to one’s heritage is so archaic and not modern but in all honesty, no matter how much you try to distance yourself from your culture – you are still who you are and the only place you can be comfortable is when you are who you are and not what the society expects of you. A man from Yiwu in China moved to Los Angeles and for him to fit into the culture of L.A, he is no longer bearing Mr.Wu

Certificate Acquisition vs Self Development Attending some sort of college to acquire more knowledge in a particular field of choice is an amazing idea and highly encouraged that we all try as much as possible to pursue one discipline or the other to a professional level – get certified by an approved institution or educational body. We now live in a society where not having any sort of certification is seen as abnormal and frowned upon like a disease, which in turn has transformed people into zombies with desperation to do whatever it takes to have one certificate or the other even if it means selling a kidney to have one or never have a reason to make use of the said certificate. As an African myself, it is natural to relate this to my immediate environment. I was born in southern Nigeria, schooled across the land and have lived, visited and mingled with people from other nations and continents within the last 20years I can confirm that majority of us are gett

I Want To But I Don’t Want To – The Unfortunate Act Of Self-Doubt And Mind Dancing. Most of us are stagnant and unable to get out of the same zone we are even though some part of us are yearning for that change or aiming at that desired element. It usually starts domestically; we sometimes never know what to wear for that occasion or what time to get off the bed to meet up with that appointment. Many questions start racing through our minds – should I wear this? Oh no, I will look too slutty, should I wear the lacy one? Nah it doesn’t fit the occasion, oh how about this one I got for my birthday? Nah I will look like a teenager and at the end of the day, we usually go back to that first choice. On various occasions – many of us must have found ourselves saying YES to a request and to later say NO to the same thing, even though nothing has changed between the times. That’s the mind of a human being at work! That we accept to do something is never an agreement with

  Your Life  - Your Journey - Your Destination. The moment you are given birth to – your life begins! The process from that point to how you live your life as an adult is your journey and during this journey, you will encounter various situations and meet all sorts of people. Your life is a gift and it must be cherished and protected until the end – many are on the sick bed and they will do anything to have that life that you have been granted free of charge. Now that you have been given life, the journey is entirely up to you, on this journey – your path will be laced with challenges, troubles, and trials but remaining on track and focusing on your purpose will get you to whatever destination you may desire. It is your responsibility to design your path, avoid distractions, remain on track and ensure that you get to that desired destination – not only on time but in one piece and contented. That you have this life free does not mean that you will have everything t

The Difference - The Respect and the Individuality. The moment you are in assumption that another person should understand you and agree with whatever you say or think then there is bound to be issues - either instantly or at a later date. For us as humans to do better, it is necessary to be challenged if not we are built to be at standstill in our comfort zone without any aspiration to step out and embrace change. Individuality is present in all beings at both physical and spiritual levels.  The individuality of a being is in three stages. The part that’s visible to all – The Physical appearance, the second stage being the Ego, Mind, and Intelligence. The third stage is the Spiritual Identity of the soul – a soul is unique and individual to each person. If you know someone physically and not their state of mind or spirituality then you only know what they portray to you and not who they are. We are all guilty of this as we ignore that the individual uniqueness of a l

Various Ways To Cement Your Marriage / Relationship. There are no perfect people just as there is no perfect relationship or marriage – people just find a way to tolerate each other and make it work. The points in this piece are only a guide as what works for Team A may not work for Team B. However, they all present no harm but lead towards a happy home. 1 – The act of exchanging gifts - The value of what you are giving is not the exact point here but the motive, thought, remembrance and feeling behind it.  Guys – buying your woman a yam pounding machine is not a gift, you simply got her a machine to perform a household task where you are the sole benefactor. Ladies – leaving this act for your man as his responsibility is not cool, learn to exchange gifts. Buying him boxer shorts and vests at every occasion is already expected and no surprise here. Now the real meaning of a gift in a marriage or relationship.The gift should convey the message “I love you” even wh
