Today in History

Image
Today is the 28th of October 2021. To many it may seem like just a random day with no big history what so ever but how would you feel if I told you that today marked some great events in history.. I did a little research on the date and I was beyond amazed at what I discovered. It was hard to pick out just these three events to talk about but I guarantee you that you would learn a thing or two from them. Now let's begin. 1) The statue of liberty was dedicated on the 28the of October 1886 The Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World; French: La Liberté éclairant le monde) is a colossal neoclassical sculpture on Liberty Island in New York Harbor in New York City, in the United States The copper statue, a gift from the people of France to the people of the United States, was designed by French sculptor Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi and its metal framework was built by Gustave Eiffel. The statue is a figure of Libertas, a robed Roman liberty goddess. She h...

Woman Crush Wednesday

She smiled with quiet determination, The journey was tough but so was she... She was a tough soul and despite the dangers that lie ahead of her,she chose not to flee. The journey was not just for her, oh no it was much more than that. For you see,her child had been taken forcefully from her and she refused to go down without a fight. Any woman who is willing to risk her life for that of her child i call her a hero because she'd rather die for one than stay with the pain and sorrow. She got there and behold her child was seen trembling from cold and fear.  She picked him up and turned around to go, the child saw a wounded face and swollen eyes,what the mother has gone through he will never know. The definition of a woman is not seen when she stands,yes beauty and brains may stand by her side but her true strength is seen when she has to choose, should she fight for something she loves or should she just ignore the fight and simply just loose.

In love with a suicidal patient

Chapter 2     "Chris, Chris... don't… don't do this...nooo" . I woke up sweating and my heart was beating faster than usual. Why? Why had I seen her in my dream and why did she try to stop me? What is going on? What is happening to me?", Thought after thought ran through my mind the rest of the night and before you could blink an eyelid,the sun could be seen slowly rising. I got up from my bed and went into the restroom to relieve myself. After that I stood over the sink to wash my hands and it was during this brief moment that I got a quick glance at the mirror in front of me and I nearly cried at the sight. My eyes had eye bags under them and I don't mean the type you get after missing one night rest, oh no.. these were bigger than that and they came as a result of insomnia and stress, slightly above my cheek was a black spot that I had gotten from my father while I was trying to defend myself,my eyeballs were white, a little too white. You can...

Credence (my short review on it)

Image
Have you ever felt out of place? No..I didn't put it correctly..let me try again. Do you sometimes wish you were in a different body? Possibly a slimmer one..or one with just enough curves that would make head turn each time you walked on the road...I want to believe that most of us if not all have had that dream/wish before. I'm sure we've exercised, gone on diets, taken pills, followed YouTube videos and even done plastic surgery but  some of them don't give us what we want . Well I was opportuned to come across a certain clip  made by Emphire Touch Productions and I highly recommend you check it out as well.. here is a link. https://youtu.be/BdrZn3JgfHw The short film was edited by prosper whitestone, Rachel nton and Young Chimezirim Charles.

Now I'm not going to tell you the whole ...

In love with a suicidal patient

Image
Life is given and it is taken but what matters is how you spend it. I always had this impression that life had it's moments and quite frankly I had given up on finding my moment but for some funny reason, that was when life tapped me at the back and handed it over to me but I didn't even realize it. Love they say is a magical thing and I agree but what would you say if both parties had a different view on life? Romantic right? Well I wouldn't be so quick to conclude.  Chapter 1 I met pearl on a Saturday afternoon at the market. I didn't go there to buy anything, I went there to surround myself with the noise and happy chatter of people buying and selling. I do this whenever my parents engage in a verbal fight and the house gets filled with negative and bad energy that it tries to kill you. They do this alot although it wasn't always like this, oh no. My family was once peaceful and quite happy but life had something planned for me. I still can't believe that it ...

The issue between Israel and Palestine

Image
Did you know that the war between Israel and Palestine didn’t start today or 3 or 5 years ago? Oh no... it’s goes way beyond that. The issue is even older than our country and it just blows my mind. It actually began following the end of the BRITISH Mandate for Palestine at the midnight of May 14 1948...can you believe it??? 1948!!!! That’s 73years of issue and misunderstanding... it’s completely insane. Before I wrote this I had to make the necessary homework so that I don’t lead anyone astray and I’m very happy I did. Let’s learn more shall we The  Israeli Declaration of Independence had been issued earlier that day, (14 May) and a  military coalition of Arab states entered the territory of  British Palestine in the morning of 15 May. There had been tension and conflict between the Arabs and the Jews, and between each of them and the British forces since the 1917  Balfour Declaration and the 1920 creation of the  British Mandate of Palestine . British policies...

One body

Image
. ONE BODY Friendliness to everybody Contempt from everybody Isn’t there a single body Who’ll care for my own body? And not listen to the speech of anybody Even in the midst of familiarity We still have our own holy body There’s nothing in this body You don’t even own the body So my people present your body To please and make sense to everybody There is a little evil inside everybody Amidst the inherent greatness within the body This phenomenon is passive in each body For “we are all from one body” Sometimes I feel like we forget that we don’t really own the skin we call our body. We forget that we are just renting it and when our rent expires,we are mandated to leave the body. Think I’m lying? Ok,riddle me this how come when a person dies why does his/her stay behind but we know that his spirit and soul is gone? If we own it then why don’t we just disappear along with it? Exactly. Now as much as it’s not ours for the keeping,we still have to maintain it and care for it the way we woul...

You are a star

Image
You are a star.  When the world decides to go dark,do not follow them because that’s not who you are.  When others decide to give up on their light don’t even consider it. There’s no one that would carry you other than your own two feet.  You might not be the only star in the sky but you are unique and you might be the reason someone somewhere is not afraid to fly.  There are days when you feel like there’s nothing you can do or that nothing is going your way and you just want to give up and let everything go. It happens to a lot of people (myself included) but you will never find the answer you seek just by giving up. Life is unpredictable and at the same time predictable,you might know how things would turn out if you follow certain rules and pattern but then what about the next person? Will it be the same thing?. If we all gave up on things just because it was too hard or it wasn’t going our way then half of the things we have today won’t be here. Things like Elec...

Dozens

One wrong foundation Requires daily salvation One lost preparation Requires hourly supplication Maybe he is privileged And of course you are not Maybe he is not of age And you are very close to rot Remember no one is perfect You have something, he doesn't What you have is your respect Build it up, not one, not two, in dozens.

Foundation

To be constantly hurt, To be living, yet in hell. The whether is cold, yet am hot High blood pressure words, yet I can't tell. Killer spirit! Killer Spirit!! I am a bunch of smart guys Why are you killing my spirit? My innovations alone, generate buys You want me to work, right!? How can I? when you do not trust me! You want me to deliver, right! How can I? when all you do is hinder me! You leave me with know motivation, You choke me without hesitation Throw away! we'll get a substitution But don't forget the pain in laying a foundation Author Awojobi Anthonia

CORRUPTION

Image
I'm pretty sure it started off innocent Until someone took it a bit further And when no one seemed to complain  And everyone seemed to adjust to it  Someone else took it farther than that  And the cycle continued until it got to the stage it is now   From a little giving of gifts as a "thank you for your help"  Someone decided unless I get something in return I'm not helping And when nobody said a thing about it Everybody (or almost everybody) seemed to adopt it Until someone else decided to take from and not give back Just for the sake of it. You  see it looks harmless at first and most times it is Until someone decides to take advantage of it  And when the majority watch and not act Someone else does worse And when most people don't do a thing about it  Someone does worse than the former And the cycle continues. Those who benefit from it, see no wrong in it But ask the victims Those who lost j...
