Taiwo's World

Yesterday, I actually went shopping at the Lagos Island market popularly called "Balogun market." However, a particular sight which I saw got me thinking till I got home. You must be wondering what it is already. Well, wonder no more! Out of the numerous shops I visited, I noted that about 3 of them had attendants who happened to be sleeping when I got there. I was really amazed at how somebody will manage to doze off or sleep in a place like Balogun market (I'm sure my Lasgidi friends will understand this better). Hence, I decided to treat the issue of sleep on my blog today. Trust me, I wouldn't want you to be in that same or similar position.  So, here are five (5) signs that you've not been sleeping well. 1. You easily Jonalize. The word "Jonalize" was coined from the story of a man named Jonah in the Holy book who was said to have been sleeping while the ship he was in was almost capsiding and everybody was running helter skelter. Back to the matter...

Few months ago, I fell into depression as a result of so many unpleasant things which I felt was going on in my life. Perhaps, the current uncertainties in the world brought by the Corona Virus Pandemic further triggered my condition. However, one beautiful morning, like the prodigal son, I came back to my senses and said to myself, "Tee, you must not continue this way!" Hence, I took some steps which helped me to bounce back to my usual joyful self.  In this article, I will be sharing five tips that will help you overcome depression. I want you to know that these are not tips that haven't been used before. As a matter of fact, they helped me to re-activate my joyful self. Firstly, you need to realize that depression is never the solution to your present challenges. The realization of this fact is the first step you need to take in order to come out of it. Remember that, a solution is never offered until there's an acknowledgement of a problem. Secondly, know that you...

On a beautiful Sunday morning, I got dressed to meet up with the early market. You know how they say the early bird catches the worm right? (Smiles) As I was about stepping out of the house, it became cloudy and the heavens were visibly pregnant with abundance of rain. I made up my mind not to linger any longer as the rain could disrupt my plan. I decided to say a word of prayer and declared by faith that it shouldn't rain till I get back home. As I was leaving the house, I remembered I wasn't with my shower cap so  I quickly rushed inside to pick it. I was yet to reach the junction of my street when it started drizzling. Immediately, I brought out my shower cap and wore it proudly. Fast forward to when I was coming back, I discovered passers-by were giving me weird looks and I kept asking myself what was wrong with my appearance. As I got closer to my house, I suddenly remembered I still had my shower cap on despite the fact that it didn't eventually rain. Then I knew why ...

I know you have put in much effort to succeed yet you got little or no result. I know you have reached out to many for help yet none of them were willing to help you. I know how much you try to hide your frustration behind smiles just to make others feel better. I know you have attended many interviews and yet none offered you the job.  I also know you have made tremendous efforts to make your dreams come true yet, there seem to be no difference.  I am here to let you know that you are not alone. If you don't give up, you'd eventually get that job you want. You'd get that promotion you deserve. You'd get that financial support you need. You'd get the connections you long for and ultimately, you'd get answers to all your heart desires. You're only few steps away from your desired success. And guess what? I am praying for you and I know you'll surely get there. I'm certain that you'll indeed smile soonest. In this New August, I am rooting for you. ...
