Your Desire And The Society.


No matter what your desires are, they are just ordinary wishes until you do something about it. Wishing it over and over again won't have any effect.

Firstly - you must understand that it's your desire and not others. You owe it to yourself to make it a reality and you can't count on anyone or the government to help you achieve this dream.

Secondly - as you are desiring it, it's your place to also be planning along how to make it possible too. "I want to do this" must always be accompanied by "how to do this" in order to have it done as you wish.

Having a dream then sitting on your ass with the expectation that the government should have provided this or other, your parents should have told you this and that, your siblings and friends should be available to lift you up and give you a helping hand. NO!!! Just as you have your dream so does all these entities have their own desires too. If you really want it so bad then be willing to chase it so bad.

The society will always have one demand or the other from you but you must realize that the most important person in your life is yourself. Your family wants you to be a medical doctor but you are aware that you are not cut out for it, please chase your desire and what you are fit for. Your immediate community wants you to be committed to their religious belief - follow your heart desire, it's your life. The government doesn't care for you, they are just after your taxes and nothing else - expect nothing from the government. 

The government is designed for those who work with and for the government. If you stopped breathing today, the government would charge you for your grave and still tax it.

You are not your society - chase your desire and expect nothing. Only you can make it happen for YOU.

The Story Of Two Friends – Ade & Emeka And Their Quest For Success.

The Story Of Two Friends – Ade & Emeka And Their Quest For Success. Both Ade and Emeka were born in the digital age i.e. in the 90’s! Those who were born before this period had to go extra miles in achieving their aims in life, access to data and information were very limited and technology wasn’t advanced enough to aid individual desires – that is not the same for the 90’s kids. They both attended same high school and were neighbours in Rukuba Barracks in Jos where their fathers are stationed as soldiers serving the nation. Emeka’s father was transferred over to Jos from Enugu and Ade’s father was transferred to Jos from Lagos, the boys were very young when they had to move to Jos with their parents. It was so quick and easy for them to form friendship; they are not just neighbours but newbies and non-locals in the barrack where majority of the soldiers are local men from Lanagtang, Wase, Jos, Pankshin, Barkin Ladi, Shendam, Mangu etc. within the state. As they ...

The African Approach to Education and its effects vs The Western Approach

The African Approach to Education and its effects vs The Western Approach As you read this piece, I have absolutely nothing against securing certificates - I have several of them myself. There is nothing wrong in chasing certificates, but a lot is wrong when you refused to get educated along the line and ignore local factors in the process. Obviously if you can afford the expensive pursuit then that’s acceptable. However, many are paying through their nose to get these certificates at the expense of chasing their passion and building a career out of it. I work in the finance sector and in the last decade, my direct managers have been between the ages of 26 to 35. In most cases, I am older and wherever I have an older boss, they have been in that position for a long period of time.  This is what is happening in the west, people are getting on the ladder of workforce immediately after high school or college and in the process, they are building a massive network ...
