The Day Ignorance Nearly Killed Me

On a sunny afternoon sometime in 2009, I used an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) at the defunct Oceanic bank at ENL Consortium, Apapa Wharf. After using the ATM, it was past banking hour, I asked the security man at the entrance if I could go into the bank to have a cup of water, he agreed. So I went in, I met just one man in the banking hall, a member of staff, seated by a table who I told I wanted some drinking water, he told me to open the lower part of the water dispenser machine to collect a disposable cup to fetch water from the dispenser. I checked but there was no disposable cup. In his benevolence, he offered me his mug to fetch water with. I took the mug and positioned it under one of the two taps, and then the confusion started; I didn’t know which of the taps to fetch from.

YOU KNOW YOU MIGHT GET HURT WHEN THE GUN IS COCKED, BUT YOU STILL STAND; BUT WHY?

Many a times we get informed, consciously and unconsciously, that some people are not good for us. We see it right in our very eyes that they are going to hurt us. We get signs by way of the manner they talk to/with us, the kind of tone they use in communicating; we get signs by their body language, the way they look at us, the way they relate with us; we get signs also by the way they treat us, neither answering of our calls and chats nor returning them; amongst many other very visible signs. Despite all these, we still allow ourselves fall prey of their ill attitudes towards us. We give them the most prized possession we own: our heart, knowing fully well that they are going to break it. We let ourselves become vulnerable because we desire and want to exhibit the most important quality of being human, the quality of love ❤.

Operation Detoxify Your Mindset II

It's Unintelligent To Castigate What You Don't Know

Some time ago, I was teaching Abigail, 5, one of the students I teach Mathematics privately, how to solve operation problems with columns and rows. It is basically simple. I did an illustration on the whiteboard, she wasn't paying attention. She looked to the board, and all of a sudden she bursted to a loud cry. What has happened to Abigail in this very short moment I wondered with a puzzled face. Then I asked her what the matter was. "I don't like maths!", she yelled. "Why", I asked, "I don't understand!", she responded. "Ehen? Is that the reason you are crying?", I asked. She nodded in the affirmative.
