ITS CALM DOWN TIME!

-
I feel one of the thoughest years of your life is between 19 to 21. It is like, Oh my God! I just left my teenage years, Oh my God! I am now an adult and Oh my God! I am now into adulthood proper. And this is when you begin to get all forms of depressed, sad and angry at yourself. You think to yourself, I should have it all together by now, I am graduating soon, I should have millions stacked somewhere, I should have this and that. It happens to me. It happened to me last year, It happened to me this year, it happened to me today. It would happen because we are humans.
But the thing is,
if you keep beating yourself up about things like this, you would not have time to grow. You would not have the time to develop yourself and you won't even have the time to love yourself. You just want to get there! Get to where exactly. Look, calm down, pray and do everything you are supposed to and trust the most accurate compass and map to direct you to the path he wants you to be. God!Believe me, once you let him take charge, you would feel so much peace inside you. Yes! some people at your age may look like they have it together. But my darling, we all have different hustles, we all have our different directions and we all have our different level of speed. Believe me when I tell you some are going nowhere fast.
So calm down! calm down! breathe, relax, tell God to take it up from here and just keep Jer 29:11 in mind whenever you feel like things are not going positively.
"For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future.
I love you guys!

Jos, the city that raised me

Image credit: CometoNigeria.com I think losing a loved one in a crisis is one of the differences between having and losing hope in humanity. Imagine going to work and returning home, cut up into tiny pieces, in a sack to your family. How about being surrounded by an army of men shouting while feverishly pouring petrol around your home with your family in it. As the lighter comes on, you watch your past, present and any possible future, go up in flames before you shut your eyes for the last time. I had witnessed unforgettable experiences during the 2001 crises in Jos, Nigeria, but despite this, I never lost hope in humanity but I think most people did. The first and only time I’ve seen a bullet was when my father boldly took a stroll a few blocks from our house. The crises had been brewing for days and all residents were relegated to a 24-hour curfew. We had been indoors for a week and my father was curious to know the status of things after the fight the night before, as the

3 rd and final part of “but I was just 14. Aunty ini lived in the heart of Calabar that was where all the activity took place. She was so happy to see me and was very hospitable. Her house was very big and she looked very wealthy unlike how she was in primary school. I found out that she went back to the university after she left my primary school to get a degree in medicine. She was now a medical doctor at an international hospital with a branch in Calabar. One day, she came into my room and hugged me for about 5 minutes without letting me go. She said it wasn’t my fault that any of that happened. She told me that sometimes, bad things happen to good people and those good people have no control over those circumstances. She hugged me and we both cried. I was relieved. I felt better. That was the first time since the incident I felt loved and not worthless. That was all I needed to hear. I wanted to hear that it didn’t happen to me because I was a bad person. I wanted to hear
