A Real Problem Kid.

 Since I got into my school, Enugu State University of Science and Technology, in October 2019, I can bet with the robes of my small intestine that the number of times I have done assignments by myself is less than the number of times Tolani Baj has made sense in two years of podcasting. I can rub mayonnaise on my scrotum and swear that the number of times I have actually attempted at home what a lecturer urged me to 'attempt at home' is less than the number of times your friends or relatives in the U.K. have returned to Nigeria in the last five years. Even some of my coursemates can pass a vote of confidence on me, affirming that, in truth, the number of times I have 'taken on' a take-home quiz is less than the number of minutes Yahaya Bello has taken to ponder on how to improve the living conditions of the people people of Kogi State State during his eight-year tenure as governor. The reason why I don't do assignments or take-home quizzes myself is absolutely

 Warning: The story you're about to read is rated RY [Respect Yourself]. It is not advisable for people still under the afflictions of childhood traumas, emotional traumas that emanated from childhood, people who can't take what they inhale and can't take inhale what they take, people who have been deceived by motivational speakers that it's "okay to cry" [Please don't read, because you'll actually cry].   Again, I want to echo a very stern warning to people who went through mentally challenging phases while growing up: please and please, Skip. Coconut-headed human, I know you think you had a great childhood experience because you were normally on the 7th square meal of the day by 3 p.m. and because no one had "put hand on breast" and sweared that you wouldn't amount to anything, but please, I plead with you, specifically if you attended all these schools with a 2500 per term school fee, where you still had to be sent out of school eig

On October 24th, 2023, I did what most Nigerians would call "Giving My Life To Christ," which I later learned from one social preacher to be "Receiving Christ Into My Life" at Assemblies of God Church, Saminaka, Kaduna State. And instead of the plain and proper type of follow-up of nurturing new converts into spiritual maturity, our follow-up instructor was more interested in how we would begin working in God's sanctuary already. Instead of tutoring us on how to be free from the clinges of sin, man used almost the duration of the three-month follow-up classes to talk about the fig tree and how useless it was because it wasn't bearing fruit. And then, each time, he would drive it back to how unnecessary believers who are into content consumption and not content creation are to God the Creator.   Instead of taking us through the steps of how to be hot and burn for Christ, Evangelist Josh, as they call him, was doing the quite opposite: telling us who a lukewar

 Almost everyone you pass by on the street wants to feel a little more confident. That feeling of absolute belief in your capabilities, traits, and judgment. Are you one of those? This blog post was written for you. What Is Confidence As defined by the American Psychological Association, Self-Confidence has termed “one’s sense of trust is his or her ability to successfully tackle the demands of a task”. It can be also termed an overall belief in yourself to drive the trajectory of your life. Let’s take it back home, and be a bit situation-specific. For instance, your self-confidence can be quite high in a particular field of mastery, but below average in other fields. Research, however, connotes that self-confidence is super essential to one’s livelihood and psychological balance. But developing and consistently maintaining confidence isn’t as easy as it sounds. It’s a slippery path you’re most likely to fall off after a mistake or failure. That’s the reason why continuous striving to
