Let’s Talk About Discouragement In The Path Of Purpose + Video Of Me Speaking At A School
Posted on September 17, 2015Hello everybody! I hope your week’s winding down smoothly? Mine has been awesome (not going to say stressful because yesterday’s #OnlineBibleStudy took care of that mindset). I’m also winding down from NYSC things. And so my work in secondary schools as a corper is coming to an end… but it would continue even after now by God’s grace. I wrote this post some months back but didn’t get around to posting it. But then I thought, instead of writing on…

An Account Of A Nigerian Youth Corper’s Experience During The 2015 General Elections Part 2
Posted on April 17, 2015So you’d think that I would not go for the second election after all the suffer head wahala I went through at the last one but lai lai!

Posted on March 19, 2015Hello all #WalkingInPurpose youths! I’m so sorry I didn’t update the Awakening-youths section of the blog last week, I got all swamped with stuff (not really, my phone was dead, but let’s pretend that stuff came up.lol) I do hope that you all are still walking in line with the year’s tag right? #WalkingInPurpose?

Hello everyone! So our first #AwakeningYouths event for the year was held last week! And this is me giving us the details on it like I promised to do on our blog plans for 2015 post. Where do I start from with this though? Of course with God. I got home after the event and I was thinking “God you are awesome. Who would have thought that this broken girl of years past could be used for you in such…
Staying with ones old folks has its ups and down. In as much as its appears great and it gives the appearance of a happy family, at other times, it gives the impression of a youth who can’t wait to get out of his/her parent’s reach. The reality these days is that youths over stay in the comfort of their parents’ home especially after NYSC, this in turn makes the youth to start to feel a sense of responsibility…

Swoosh! I am excited! I’m finally starting up the Youths Speak section under awakening youths on the blog. Yep, an idea came to me to interview youths who are amazing young people. The aim of this segment is to let you see that there are still great youths who are doing great things in Nigeria. I hope to get us to stop whinning and start living forth our potentials wherever we may find ourselves. So I met Odunayo-our guest…
