REALITY CHECK #30 - YOU DON'T NEED A MAN
Hearing her mother soliloquize was no more awkward nowadays, with the door of her mother's room left ajar Ebere could hear her mother whine to herself once again.
"All his family members could do nothing about it ehn...he left me with three children. They have been sent away from school again this term, I can't pay a dime ehn! If I go back to his family they would say I nagged him to leave me. Just imagine. It's well over a year and this man didn't look back. We can't feed, talk less of anything else. If only there could be a man to support me with these needs... I need a man"
The very thoughts that birthed immorality in the mind of women. Hmmn! I'm not condemning the women in this pitiable condition or attacking the men who somehow contributed to this problem. We need the citizens of the world to think and that's what I'm here to say. Women NEED to break free from the mentality that puts them at the mercy of men, what the society has engraved on their minds that they are not fit enough to STAND on their own.
From this stand point I have seen women conquer in the face of adversity as widows especially. Women are capable of a lot of things.
Just like every man has greatness on their inside, women also possess greatness to succeed without sucking up to a man.

REALITY CHECK #29 - Don't Just Follow Your Passion: A Talk for Generation Y: Eunice Hii at T...
This is a great piece you should watch and listen to. This young and bright mind has just laid out some very strong points on this Reality Check series. The generation Y, our generation called 'The Lazy Generation', and it can be faulted on the 'Follow your passion' statement. Do you agree? It's really important for you, especially if you are below Thirty years, an undergraduate or a youth corps member. Please share your thoughts about it here.

REALITY CHECK #28 - DID YOU START A LONG TIME AGO?
I attended an awards ceremony some days ago I was not a
nominee though everyone thought I was, but I was so inspired to keep doing what
I was doing, to learn to be greater at it and keep dreaming those dreams and
more? NO! It wasn’t that encouraging. What I really observed was, you have to
have started a long time ago. Track records were needed; you had to have done
things kids your age didn’t do, you have to be the extra out of the ordinary,
and again you have to have started a long time ago.
Oh! You don’t really care about awards, trophies and plaques
that make people show off, right? But if you got a call one day telling you
that people you do not know have recommended that you be nominated for
receiving a reward based on the things you have done and your achievement in a
particular field, tell me, how would you feel? Angry some people are so idle;
they’ve got nothing better to do than to discuss you with other people you do
not know? Scared that you are being trailed or stalked somehow or how else did
they get the number you didn’t provide to them directly? Or agitated that you
are going to meet traffic on your way home?
I guess I’m not giving you options here, because you are
going to feel great! You are going to cringe with excitement on your inside and
you would be confused with how exactly to show it or not to show it. You’re
going to feel unworthy and worthy. Somehow you’re hard work, dedication and
consistency finally paid off and not only you has thought so.
One other thing I thought of was relevance. In this time of
things going viral and trends, I say it is very easy to get distracted, to want
to be like everyone else and conform. It may seem a lot to actually make heads
way on a path not travelled by many. But if all you do is tweet dirty and tacky
stuff you are sitting on a long thing. If you are not building people,
families, businesses, nations, futures then I know you are really sitting on a
long thing. Why waste your time doing what would cost, when you can do what
pays?
Like I said in a similar post, The best time to have planted a tree was ten years ago, but the best
time to plant that tree again is NOW.
