Invalidating the truth

Picture a world in which we all shared the same ideas. A world in which we all thought the same way, shared the same views and had the same experiences. I believe this will inevitably lead us to having the same style, speech pattern and way too many similarities with no distinctive features at all, except perhaps our physical experience. I’m beginning to guess by now that you are not quite fond of that imagination. We clearly don’t aspire to being the same people all over the globe. We don’t… Read More

It is okay to re-express.

Nigerians would say, “follow who know road”, Cameroonians will say “are you the first to discover it?”(I know that is a question, not a statement, but that’s how my country works), while a proper English man would say, “no need re-inventing the wheel”. Often times in life, we have that urge to be a groundbreaker in our different spheres, succeed in doing what someone has never done before. We want to be the person whose footprint is marked in the sands of time because we did something no one else… Read More

Fearless?

Relationships are all about interests. Not just self-interests, it could be common interests or even selfless interests, point is, there is an interest. We share, exchange, mooch off one another and so it goes. But what is it we want most from a relationship? Be it friendship or otherwise? Why do we keep indulging in making such bonds that don’t always end well for us? What is it we are looking for? My answer won’t be love, I mean the element of interest fills that gap for us. I would… Read More

Humans don’t come with User Manuals… But I guess you knew that already.

So, usually when you purchase an object, especially the brand new ones, not second hand stuff, they come all packaged with pictures of the object on the package and a neat user manual written in at least 2 languages. On my side of the globe it’s usually written in English and French or English and Chinese. If you aim to use the product properly and obtain maximum satisfaction as intended by the manufacturer, you have to read the user manual or watch a YouTube video on it like I do…. Read More

Whose Looking Glass is it?

“Mirror mirror on the wall, tell me who is the most beautiful woman in all the kingdom?” “It’s you my queen.” Watching Snow White growing up, besides the fact that I didn’t like her wicked stepmother, I often wondered why a wicked woman would want a mirror’s approval on how she looked whereas she could have anyone give her any answer she wanted. So till date I don’t have an answer, just a hypothesis which you will be able to deduce by the end of this write-up. After my two… Read More

Did I Grow up or Grow Out?

When you’re a kid, you have one huge expectation; “I can’t wait to grow up so that nobody bosses me round the clock, no one dares to disturb me when my favourite show is on air, thoughtless of sending me on an errand when I’m playing”. The list goes on, and if that was not on your childhood wishlist you sure are one of a kind. I call it the “every child’s dream”. Alongside our childhood comes this unadulterated package of truth and sincerity. Telling that man sitting by you in a restaurant answering… Read More
