MY COMMENT ON THE FUEL SUBSIDY REMOVAL

Disclaimer : This is my honest opinion. So I hope I won’t be crucified by my fellow angry Nigerians for airing my views #lolz# Looking at the removal of fuel subsidy and its effect on average Nigerians, one would be so angry at this present government. So placing my emotions and unsatisfaction aside, I decided to look into what this fuel subsidy really means and entails. And at the end of the day, I came to a conclusion that the removal of fuel subsidy will actually do more good to Nigeria and Nigerians than harm. But how many Nigerians want to see it in that way. Even some who knows that the removal of the fuel subsidy is actually for our benefit would not want to agree in as much as they have never been in good terms with the current government. Yes, when Jonathan tried removing it then, we all went nuts and form what was popularly known as #OccupyNigeria. If I can still recall vividly, for a whole week, cars were not allowed to move and tires were being burnt on usually ...

HELLO WORLD! BEGINNING TODAY

Hello World, once again my name is IKPEFUA JOY CHRISTIANA Alias Ciana Joy. I woke up today with new desires and bright aspirations. I made a list of everything I want to change about me and the amazing thing is that, everything I listed is starting to take effect beginning today and I’m going to stick to them not minding the challenges. Beginning today I will no longer worry about yesterday. It is in the past and the past will never change. Only I can change by choosing to do so. Beginning today I will no longer worry about tomorrow. Tomorrow will always be there, waiting for me to make the most of it. But I cannot make the most of tomorrow without first making the most of today. Beginning today I will look in the mirror and I will see a person worthy of my respect and admiration. This capable person looking back at me is someone I enjoy spending time with and someone I would like to get to know better. Beginning today I will no longer wait for things to happen. I w...

THE MYTH BEHIND MONEY

Money Money Money!!! Everybody just wants to make money. Sometimes I wonder if money has any other importance than to get us our basic needs and wants which are just pleasures and are perishable. The thing is, there is nothing that money gives that cannot be destroyed. So why so many of us have become slaves to money I can’t stop but wonder. Yea, money can give us respect and fame. With it, you will never have to suffer anymore. Some even see it as the means to secure their future and future generations. Yea, we can buy whatever we want with money, we can go places we want with money, we can step on any toes and we can do and undo anything we like. It has even gotten to the extent that some people can be bought over with money and this so called love we shout all about, has also gotten itself entangled in the web of money. So what are we saying? Money is good and without money, life can be frustrating and tormenting. Hmmm! But come to think of it, despite how powerful and i...

NEVER STOP TAKING CHANCES

Hello everyone, once again, welcome to May, the fifth month of the year 2016. I really can’t stop but wonder about how time really flies. It was just like yesterday when we chorused happy New Year with friends and family and in a twinkle of an eye; we’ve gotten to the fifth month...Time really do not wait for anyone..So never stop taking chances because you never know how absolutely perfect some of those chances could turn out to be. Anytime you take a chance, be sure the rewards are worth the risk. Don’t resist chances; take them like your life depends on it. Sometimes life gives us a second chance because just maybe the first time we weren’t ready. You see, the thing is, life will always goes on whether you choose to take a chance in the unknown, or stay behind, locked in the past and thinking of what could have been. If you don’t take a chance at something, then you don’t even stand a chance of getting that same thing. Making a big change in life is pretty scary but the regr...
