Achieving Greatness

 
The United States was built to be a nation where young people can start small and become great. Though since she assumed her position as the world’s power having more millionaires than the other nations put together, we still have individuals who are jobless and wasting away by not utilizing the opportunities available to them or being provided for their productivity.

Life itself is a choice. You decide what you do with it, you project to it what you want it to showcase and whatever you are today is a picture of who you are inside. “As a man thinketh in his heart so is he”, so you can never grow beyond the picture in your mind because you are a product of your thought. This simply implies that the beauty of every human is taken care of in the subconscious. So investing quality time in accessing the beauty and the riches of the subconscious is the strength and the uniqueness of every human. Now the question is how far have you gone and how far do you want to go? You must certainly start from somewhere and then progress gradually.

To attain any height in life, you must first of all have a mental picture of it, dream it and know its implication. It is not enough to desire a thing but know the cost of achieving it.

For you to harvest, you must first cultivate (invest) and develop to maturity (your picture). One person’s picture may be different from another: success is at different levels, acceptability is at different dimensions and accessibility is by influence.
 
Now this is what I think: everybody deserves a better tomorrow. God designed the earth and made everything available to us all. He wants us to have the best of life, family and society. Our lives and all its involvement is to bring forth praises to Him. “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end” (hope and a future or better still that picture of the future that you desire).

My Sexuality and I: My Unashamed Love 💕

My Story and Sexuality Sexuality can be a tricky subject to navigate, especially when you’re young and still figuring out who you are. But one thing I’ve learned through my own journey is that your sexuality is yours to define, and there’s no shame in it—no matter what it looks like or the world's views. This is my story and I hope it inspires you. Growing up, I had a close friend named Franca. We were very close and everyone knew us.  Then, I was more often attracted to girls at different times and we could be so close. Today, a lot of young people get attracted to persons of different sexual orientation - a girl can get attracted to a girl, a boy to a boy, a girl to a boy and vice versa. There is nothing wrong with this on a platonic basis. Child This has been falsely interpreted as them having a different sexual orientation from whom their Maker made them, which informs their gender identity - gay, lesbian and every other identity. This has led to other forms of sexual orientati...

International Day of Conscience: When Moral Outrage Misfires – A Case Study in Ethical Activism

Abstract On this International Day of Conscience, we reflect on the delicate balance between righteous indignation and ethical responsibility. This article examines a 2025 incident in Nigeria where an activist’s public confrontation of a struggling mother and her 11‐year‐old daughter escalated into a humiliating episode.  The case, which involved the exposure of the child’s face in violation of child protection guidelines, ultimately led to a public apology from the activist and compassionate intervention from well-meaning Nigerians including the famous chess player and philanthropist Tunde Onakoya, and the founder of Buchymix, who stepped in and offered to support the child’s education and the family's welfare, including accomodation.  Through this analysis, we explore the complexities of activism that neglects empathy and the need for a conscientious approach in public discourse. Introduction Conscience guides us in differentiating right from wrong, yet its application in pu...
