I’m smiling even if I can’t – the irony, right? After about 5 minutes with a song by Johnny Drille, the show resumed. “Hi, we are back. The topic once again is, ‘Why do people get married?’ Or you could just tell us why you got married or want to be married. “Alright, we have …

SIX MONTHS, STILL DROPPING HONEY
It’s been six months since HoneyDrops began. HoneyDrops started off quite enthusiastically. No plans, no goals, no dreams, no purpose.

NIGERIA’S POLITICAL SYSTEM: RECYCLING THE SAME PROCESS AND PERSONS IN OUR ELECTIONS
For me, Nigeria’s political system is basically about recycling the same process and persons in our elections. As of now, slowly but surely, we are getting close to the end of another four years.

I’M SMILING EVEN IF I CAN’T REMEMBER – Part 5

WHAT DO WOMEN WANT?
I had written on “What Exactly Do Men Want?” some few months back, but it seemed to have a spark of a little protest that made me conclude that men are inconclusive about what they want; they also asked, ‘What do women want?’ and said women are indecisive about their particular needs/wants. It seemed my …

WHY DO WE CELEBRATE BIRTHDAYS?
Why do we wait every 365 days to mark the day of our birth? Of course, we are alive. Yes, we should be grateful for that. But then, why all the pomp and galore? Why choose a low key celebration? Why do nothing at all? Why do we celebrate birthdays? I used to feel birthday …
WHAT CAUSES DEPRESSION?
These days, we hear a lot about how suicide is being committed among the youth. What causes depression? Why will someone end his/her life when it hasn’t even started?

WHEN DO YOU REALIZE YOU ACTUALLY NEED TO WORK MORE?
Our topic is “When Do You Realise You Actually Need to Work More?” You hear people say, “I am no longer under my parents”. What exactly does it mean? A lot of youths today, when it comes to our finances, make the statement that we are still under our parents. Meaning, in purely human terms, …
AM I WISE JUST BECAUSE I KNOW?
Am I wise just because I know? A friend once said to me… “It is knowledge if you know that a cherry is a fruit, but knowing that you cannot add a cherry to a fruit salad is wisdom.” I puzzled within me, “Does knowledge really guarantee wisdom?” I hereby come to the conclusion that …
DO YOU TELL YOUR PARTNER ABOUT YOUR EX?
For most people when relationships don’t work and they move on. In moving on, they tend to carry some old baggage, what I’ll term as “excess load”. One of such signs is deciding whether or not to tell your partner about your ex. We know that it’s not quite easy to let go. So, why …

DO WE JUST FORGET FRIENDS?
A conversation with a friend you have not met in a very long while is capable of going awry with accusations like you just forget friends that you hold dear to heart. Imagine the conversation going this way: A: Hey, what’s up? Long time B: I’m fine, it’s been a while, I am where you …
ENCOURAGE OTHERS AND BE ENCOURAGED
Encourage others by sharing these truths. Remind them that their journey is their own, and with faith, persistence, and self-belief, they too can achieve remarkable things. CALM DOWN.

WHY DO WE KEEP SECRETS?
I like to see secrets as a very small black box hidden in a very big dark room. We do not want them to be seen. They should be hidden forever. Do you know that some of these things we hide are insignificant, however? Why not say what it is and get over it? Why …
