AND THE LOCKDOWN CONTINUES

-

  It's no news that the lockdown has been extended and even if the lockdown isn't charting it's full course in certain cities and places, movement and activities that we've grown used to are restricted. While the isolation may not be much of a big deal for some, I'm sure it has some bored to the wits and maybe at the brink of insanity (who knows?)


While the lockdown persists, I have made another list. (Remember the last one?)


  • Limit the amount of news you take in: social media sure has its ways of bringing enlightenment and I'm certain you have been at the receiving end of a plethora of BCs here and there. Whilst some of these might be valid, there is always room for false news. Staying in the loop with what is going on shouldn't mean wolfing down every little bit of news that swings your way (especially without making your own findings).

  • Catch up on your reading list: maybe you've seen a book you fancied reading but never seemed to get the time to start reading it. Maybe you have an entire library of ebooks that you have barely started with. Well, good news, you have the time now (I know you know). Tick some books off that list.

  • Don't forget life/routine before the pandemic: Guilty as charged. I tend to forget for a minute my student status. Thing with this is, there is a tendency for one to slip into the mundane routine of wake-eat-sleep-repeat, making it a bit of a struggle to get back to life as it once was when this phase is all over. Reach out to those in your circles too

  • Improve yourself with any of the numerous challenges out there: even if the #stayathomechallenge may be getting a bit out of hand, there are still some that would leave you feeling better and more creative after engaging in them. Be it bread baking, photography, writing or even creative challenges, there sure is one for you.

  • Most importantly: Time is just an illusion! Don't leave those tasks from prior till tomorrow.

Meanwhile:


  • When last did you get some sun?
  • How are you sports buff making it through these times with suspended leagues and tournaments?
  • My dear soda addicts, how are you holding up with less frequent supply of sodas?🙃
Let us know in the comments section.

REVIEW : VIOLENCE BY FESTUS IYAYI

  Hello peeps, how has the month been? I’ve been playing coward for a while now, let me tell you why. I read a book some weeks back—which I stumbled upon by the way—and I was like it’s something I’d like to make a blog post about but I have been “shifting post” ever since. I have decided to take the bull by the horns and do it anyways.     Hmm!! Where do I start? Okay, this book I’m talking about is titled VIOLENCE written by FESTUS IYAYI and I’d say it was a good—real good—read. The time in which the story was set wasn’t really stated but I figure it was set sometime in the 70s going but the copyright and an account somewhere in the book. The storyline spans roughly 2-3 weeks, my guess being right.     The plot revolves basically around two couples, one affluent and the other poverty stricken. The story tells of the things that being poor can make one do and things that the affluent can use to lure the poor as well. It also shows how manipulative some rich folks can be, going b

GROWING UP BIG FOOT

Howdy mates!!!! Over the past week, I found myself brainstorming on what to write next for this blog. Honestly, blogging the way I do (writing articles) can be much of a work at times. Some days, I just sit in front of my screen, staring blankly, with no idea on what exactly to write about. Other days, I could have numerous ideas floating in my head, sometimes, I’m lucky enough to get most of them down and fleshed up, other times, I get to just a couple and the rest fly away or just don’t seem as interesting as the initial thought. Today’s post is several years old but it still rings true and possesses the same initial vibe it had. And, guess what? It is not as particularly serious as my last couple of posts have been--just something on a lighter note. I currently stand somewhere between  5ft 9’ and 5ft 10’ and by NBA standards, I’m nothing near tall (probably been seeing too many NBA games of recent). Away from the giants and back to the real world, I’m somewhere above average he
