The Fight For Humanity

Hello,Dia mi!

I hope you have been staying on top of everything. We are in stressful times and it is essential that mental health is maintained.

All the recent incidents we have been hearing have been so heartbreaking.  There have been reports of rape, murder, terrorism, homicide and domestic violence all over the place. It has made me wonder where all the humanity in the world went to.

Was the world always horrible like this? Are there still good people? How can we restore our humanity? These are the questions I ask everyday and which I fear I might never get an answer to.

It is common sense to know that there is no justification for rape. As humans, we all know that rape has to do with the mentality of the rapist. We hear the death of a "corrupt" politician and we rejoice. We learn that a thousand Hausas have died and we dismiss it as distant news.

Black people get killed everytime in America and we shove it off.We forget that this was someone's father, sister, friend,that all lives matter. We don't care about the sanity of someone from a different tribe. We call people facing mental health issues attention seekers. What went wrong exactly?

How do we change this reality? There is hope that through persistent orientation, future generations can have its humanity. There should be hope that future generations can have love written on their hearts. 

Keeping the fire for humanity  burning requires reminding ourselves to be empathetic. It demands reminding ourselves to give, listen and understand. How do you want to fight for humanity? Let's have a conversation in the comment section. 

Reminding you to fight for love,
Peperempe.

Why You Should Drop That Fiction Book...For Now

Hello, Dia mi😁! How are you doing today? I hope you've been having a lovely week so far. As for me, I have had a lovely week of reading and online classes and it wasn't exactly bearable. Luckily for us, it's the weekend💃💃! I'm happy I was able to help you with tips to help you overcome failure in our last conversation. On the bright side, we'll be talking about books and how special they are. Books are treasures given to us for literally nothing and when we treat them that way, they change our lives forever. The kind of books I'm talking about is not this type but for reference purposes, this is also a book😂. I'm going to guess you read a fictional book recently. Even if my guess is wrong and you're reading one right now, can you drop it for a moment?  Before a moment gets long, I want you to know that I understand how boring self-help might be, especially if you're new to it. Most of them don't have that thrill, suspense and comedy your favo...

The New Sounds Of Nigerian Music

Hello,Dia mi! I trust that you have been doing well. It's a new month and a new chance for many of us to crush those amazing goals,right? What have you been up to? As for me,I have been listening to a whole lot of songs. My playlist is full of new sounds that I'm absolutely loving. I decided to share them with you😁. The corona virus pandemic has forced all of us to stay at home more than we would love to. Fortunately,this has helped many artists to hone their craft. Nowadays,songs are more about the lyrics than the beat.(Shaking a table😂) To be very honest, most Nigerian songs are about the beat. We love to listen to the beat because it lifts our mood and keeps us motivated. We had less time on our hands which made it easy to ignore lyrics. With more time on our hands,we can now listen to song lyrics patiently and with meaning.We prefer slower tunes with deep interpretations. Suddenly,a lockdown music revolution became the next big thing. In few months,we have moved from ear-...

I'm going to talk about important factors that make or mar relationships,whether romantic or not.All our life,we've always heard how one day,we'll fall in love and have a happy ever after with that special person. You've been lied to terribly. It never works this way. I guess this was passed around to shield us from the shocking reality. The shocking reality is that love is never ever enough!. Sounds unbelievable,right? I understand you,trust me. Have you ever wondered what holds the strong relationships we see around?. Dia mi,a lot of things come in other than love. Here's why some relationships last longer than others do. Commitment: This can never be underrated,or is it overrated? What I'm saying is you have to make up your mind to give time to your relationships. You have to con...
