Lessons Learnt So Far



First of all, let me make this clear. The views shared here on this blog are my personal views, principles and life lessons learnt (You are encouraged to share yours in the comment box available below). So before I continue, you should have a peak at who I am and what point I am in life.

My name is Agomuo Eberechi Ruth. I hail from Afara Ukwu, Umuahia North, LGA, Abia State, Nigeria. A young, single lady and graduate of Information Resources Management from Babcock University, Ogun State. I also hold two professional certificates in Project Management. (Project Management Professional – PMP & Primavera 6 – P6). I am sure by now you have an idea of who is behind this write. So here are my views about life.

First, I believe there is a God (Jehovah) who is in control of the Universe. He created the whole world and all creatures are subject to him. The same God gave us his only son JESUS to die for us out of love for us (John 3:16). A relationship with him is life in itself.

Second, Share, give, love. Giving as taught by Jehovah above is a principle in life. When you love someone, you give and share with them, no matter how little you have. Giving should be a daily habit. Give someone your time, energy, money, an advice, attention, affection and so on. The joy derived from the smile on their faces cannot be estimated and your reward is in heaven. (Matthew 25: 35-40)

Third, life is not a competition. Everyone has their own journey and destination in life. My purpose is definitely different from yours. So why should I feel like I must take every step that you take? Buy, sell, eat, sleep, work, dress or talk like you? Any feeling that makes you want to compete with another individual, is totally wrong. I am excluding healthy, strategic, business competition in here.

Fourth, change is the only constant thing in life. Embrace it if it is a positive one. If it is a negative one, change it again for a better one. Change breeds times and seasons. Therefore the saying “there is time for everything” (Ecclesiastes 3:1-15).

Fifth, live life to the fullest. Love yourself and love life. I believe there are natural forces moving against us in life (because the devil Lucifer was thrown down from heaven for his pride and he is roaring around the earth stealing, killing, destroying and of course seeking whom to devour as in 1 peter 5:8 so why make it harder? Plus you can only love your neighbour LIKE you love yourself. (Mark 12:31).

Finally, perseverance is a huge factor to success in life. If you fail the first time, try, try, try again. You have probably heard of the light bulb inventor and scientist Thomas Edison.  I realised that lots of young people these days do not want to preserver. Everyone wants to be rich over night and some without even trying.

These are my few life lessons so far, what are yours? Please share, we might learn a thing or two.

The Buharis, Female Gender And The Hypocrisy of Nigerians

Image
I woke up this morning with the radio loud in my ears, "she belongs to my kitchen, the living room and the other room" and am like "ohhhh am tired of this, please can we move on to something else please?". This is becoming annoying as there are heavier matters like the economy.  Although I can't deny there are positives to the Buharis Saga. Suddenly my people (Nigerian Men and Africans) realised that women are not just sexual objects and their maids. It took President Buhari for that to sink in, wow that's impressive. It is the HYPOCRISY that beats me. Same male gender who says "this is Nigeria, this is Africa and not the western world, my wife must cook alakat for me, my wife must not work, she will stay at home, she should look for a handwork, open shop, go and teacher, etcetera" (so that she can be at their berk and call). Same ones. Please note no disrespect to the women concerned with the above chosen field of life, but  if you are a m...

Dates And Bills

Image
This conversation has been ongoing for days somewhere on instagram and am pretty fascinated. Males and females have been on each other's throat.  The men first started calling Nigerian women out for always wanting and taking from men and never contributing to dates. They have on many occasions called Nigerian women desperate, gluttons and covetous as they only want men to spend on them/pay all their bills, emphasis was laid on dates. They say women never pay on dates. The women also spoke up and defended themselves as some blatantly see nothing wrong with the guy to pay on dates and taking care of their lady's bills while other gave instances where they had taken care of everything and still the men cheated or was violent towards them and still left. They also argued that why will a guy ask to take them out and insist they pay. I got interested in the date talk because well am single *wink* plus it really fascinating to watch the back and forth and as usual I have op...

Genotype and Marriage

Image
Hello MEB readers, a very happy Sunday to everyone. Hope you are having a restful evening. Now this genotype issue has been in my thoughts. (I know you think it's about me. Nah not at all,  I just have roaming thoughts a lot and often wonder what others think about certain societal issues) I think every time I write, people raise eyebrows in my corner. *smiles* Now medically it is adviceable that an AS carrier should not marry another AS carrier for the fear of producing an SS (sickle cell anemia)  child.  It is said that the couple has 25% probability of having an SS child or children. I.e for every 4 children they have atleast one will be SS. Which is not absolute because the 25% can show up on all the offsprings.  Over the years, there has been different suggested solutions from medical professionals. There is the artificial insemination (IVF And PGD Pre-Implantation Genotype Diagnosis) where the embryo is screened and those free of SS genotype will b...
