Is it safe outside?

Is it safe to take a walk alone without

Having 1 million ways of defend myself

From hoodlum, Rapist, and Thieves running through my mind.

Is it safe to walk alone and

Not be cautious of passer-by’s?

Without scanning the faces of people I sit with in taxies?

Is it safe to be all l can be

Without thinking about the wrath of haters?

Hope one day my blessing be a blessing to others and not a lesson for me.

Will it ever be safe to give alms to the needy without first praying on it?

Will reprimanding my kids for trusting a stranger ever be a thing of the past?

How many words does it really take to create a change?

How many songs do we need to sing to be heard?

How many sons/daughters do we need to bury?

How will our light shine when we live in the dark?

Are we ever gonna be safe outside?

Why Women Hate Working With Other Women

One of the reasons most Women hate working with women colleagues/ superiority is the fact that they can’t get away with being unproductive. An Istock Image by Fizkes A male superior might overlook some behaviors but a female superior won’t especially if the behavior is constant When a male colleague complains about a female colleague, a male superior is likely to blame the man for fighting a woman and will remind the man that women are weak and they are stronger and ought to help them. So men rarely complain and they would finish any pending task of the woman to avoid talks from superiors When a female complains about another female, male superiors will have to find a solution without placing the blame on anyone even if he tries to advise the oldest employee to be the bigger person- he knows he has to get to a 50-50 conclusion. Now imagine a female reporting to a female superior. So most women would rather love to work with men that they can easily dump their tasks on than work wi

6 Type of Friends or People To Avoid

Those who will never apologize. They can never say they are sorry. Those who make a mistake then blame you or someone else for their mistake. They would claim it was something you did that led to their action. They can’t accept responsibility. Those who commit an error yet insist that they are still correct. I'm not sure if it's due to ignorance or a constant desire to be right. Those who pretend they really want to help but behind your back, they are actually the ones declining your offer. They will give different ideas on ways to try, encourage you that you’re the best but won’t give you a chance People who hold back praise and badger but berate you when you fail. They shield your 99 good then share your 1 bad. If anyone is exhibiting any character you love and admire and sincerely want it to continue, then never cease to tell them, pride them, etc. Selfish people: the truth is we are all selfish, we want good things to happen to us. However, we can’t be oblivion to the f

A Poetic Formal Letter to MEMAC Ogilvy

Listening to Rory Sutherland (vice-chairman of the Ogilvy) sparked an infinite interest in marketing in a young writer/social media marketer who’s fantasizing about both of us getting married and building a home together. I am thrilled to say I want to be a part of you (an unpaid internship) position at MEMAC Ogilvy Dubai , United Arab Emirates. I am passionate about the new meaning of marketing, making marketing Psychological rather than logical. I would love to channel my skills as a writer and Marketing Intern. I'm not going to presume that you don't give a damn about the other ladies I've been with. So, while in Nigeria, I was in a relationship with a Tech company ( JD Lab ) as a writer and social media marketer. I don't typically do this, however, I became intimate with another lady (TEDxMinna) as a writer and social media Team Leader. I swear it wasn't long. I was in charge of managing the social media profiles and producing material for them. These women an
