    He turned it around for my good.

    It’s so nice to be back. Did you miss me? I know I did miss you all. A lot of things were going on. Sometimes when you place yourself as an open book for others, you may come under undue attack. I’d been having a fair share of issues in different areas of my life. To the point that I was actually starting to wonder if my ability not to withhold information was the root cause of the issue. One area that had been a tough battle was my mental health. So much so that I was gradually slipping into…

    The startling effect.

    Having discussed in detail the effect of the aftermath of fuel subsidy removal on the family and feeding patterns. It’s easy to deduce the ripple effect this has had on small and medium enterprises as well as larger organizations. However, there’s one effect that many of us did not envisage.  During the last holidays when families and individuals traveled en masse to their various hometowns and villages for the Christmas and New Year celebrations, Many of them did not return to the cities where they dwelt as it was no longer the order of the day to do so.  The reason…

    Who had the upper hand?

    I mentioned last week that we would discuss in detail, Adams that beat today. However, after much thought, it’s necessary to note that I already dealt with this topic in a shared category – The sadness of her tears – My learning points. The category is called – “The trauma of rejection – A compelling story”. Although it discusses the issue from the perspective of a victim of abuse, I believe the victim is more at risk compared to the attacker. The only solution I would offer to an abuser or perpetrator of domestic violence is to go to a…

    A bitter pill to swallow.

    It may be a good idea to look at the family aspect today. This brings to mind a discussion I recently had with a realtor. He mentioned how some families have resorted to moving into smaller apartments as against living in their duplexes and terrace houses to ease expenses resulting from the fuel hike. It’s now easy to understand why we’ve seen such a spike in real estate costs of late. It doesn’t just end here as many families struggle to keep up with the cost of feeding their households, which also seems to have tripled in recent times. It’s…

    An intricate look inward?

    I’ve been thinking and you all know what occurs when I do. Welcome to my new relationship series – “Fuel Subsidy – the Aftermath”. You may want to know the reason behind my new series? Let’s just say I had a lengthy discussion with an old friend. After discussing non-stop for over an hour, it led to this creative category. Now I won’t be reflecting once more on the events that heralded the fuel subsidy removal. You could read that up in my previous post – The Nigerian Spirit. What I want to talk about today, is the aftermath. The…

    Make it a holiday season to remember.

    The holiday season is almost over and yet I couldn’t bring myself to write a new post. Not because I didn’t want to but simply because I was a bit under the weather and when I felt better, I wasn’t sure of the appropriate message to give. A few of you who know me, know that I enjoy spontaneity. So not being able to apply that this year, triggered a bit of dullness. I appreciate those of you who kept checking in on this site despite my long absence. I hope you all are having loads of fun? What did…
