What to do when caught in a bomb blast

WHAT TO DO WHEN CAUGHT IN A BOMB BLAST

As I write this article with a heavy heart and temporary uncertainty, my concerned and troubled mind wonders when Nigeria will eventually overcome this evil insurgence that has taken over almost completely. I hate to listen to the news everyday because it is usually saddening and heartbreaking. Bad news everywhere, slaughtering, massacre, bloodbaths, kidnapping, bombings and shootings not to talk of the inability of an average Nigerian to afford the basic things of life: food, clothing and shelter. As at now, nearly 300,000 Nigerians have been displaced from their comfort zones in the north eastern part of Nigeria, thousands of people have been forced to their early graves. Their horror filled faces, their struggles, their confusion, their innocence yet they still met their untimely deaths. I have decided to share what I have learnt about bombs, not that I have come to accept the situation in Nigeria as I strongly hope for a change and a restoration.

Impoving your academics

This post was shared earlier but mistakenly wiped off.. here it is again



TIPS TO HELP IMPROVE YOUR GRADES Assuming its halfway through the semester and you see your tests scores or its the end of the semester and you see your results and you didn’t do well as you thought or maybe just looking at the result makes you sad. Either way do not give up hope you can still turn around or improve your grades over the rest of the semester. Here are a couple of habits that you should integrate into your academics to improve your chances of success.
1. Start projects or assignments right away Make it a habit to start working immediately on your projects and assignments because this enables you to put part of your brain to work on ideas and problems and the flow of ideas.

silver screen

Recently my friend and I visited the cinema,we felt like seeing a movie but decided to get to the cinema first before checking the listings. We later settled for a Nigerian movie not that we planned to watch a Nigerian movie as we've both been made to believe that you will have judiciously spent your money at a cinema only if you saw a foreign movie. But the Nigerian movie time was more convenient  for us so we opted for it.

BIRTHDAY

Its the most important day of one's life if you ask me, although sometimes we tend to see it as just a normal day, nothing special about it.but deep down we see more to that day. even after we are older, more matured and have busy schedules we still secretly hope that someone will surprise us on that day, or that something big, great, unusual, exuding so much joy will occur that day.

DANGEROUS CRITICS



DANGEROUS CRITICS


Have you ever felt so bad  after someone passed a comment? Has anyone ever made you feel so bad about yourself? have you ever received comments that dampen your spirit? Have you ever felt worthless? If yes ,then you have just encountered a critic and a dangerous one at that.
To be criticized means to say that you disapprove of somebody or something or to judge the good and the bad qualities of something.  You cannot avoid criticism. Aristotle once said “criticism is something you can easily avoid by saying nothing, doing nothing and being nothing”
Constructive criticism is good but criticism that makes you feel bad about yourself, that is set to degrade and discourage you not necessarily to correct you should be avoided.
Its worse for people who get easily affected by what others say. I mean people who live on public opinion and acceptance. If you are somebody seeks approval from people or that takes in what everybody says about you, you might nee to have a re-think and start working on it because believe me you are going to meet several people whose aim is just to destroy your self esteem. some won’t even know they are hurting you. Sanguines   are very prone to being affected by what people say because of their extrovert , outgoing ’here comes the star’ nature.

TEENAGERS AND MUSIC



TEENAGERS AND MUSIC


 


Music is dynamic, music is branched, and music is not a one way traffic. ‘’music is my life…’’He declared,’’  “oh music simply makes me high’’another one says.’’my life is never boring with music’’she declared. These are some of the responses some young people gave when they were asked what music is to them.
People are often intoxicated by music.Ignore the title of this article because virtually all Young people  even  older youths are easily influenced by music .The lyrics,the rhyme,the rhythm, the beats, send them all twisting,break-dancing  even day-dreaming.The influence of music on the teenager’s life cannot be over-looked.Apart from the fact that some actually waste time concentrating on lyrics, finding out latest releases,it has become an addiction for some! A sixteen years old girl once confessed that she couldn’t sleep without listening to music. One of my older friends does virtually all he needs to do around the house listening to several songs. Even when has to take his birth! Hundreds of teenagers sleep with their playlist or radio on. Some read with their earphones, listening to different forms of music unend. Some simply see it as a means of expressing themselves while some claim to get certain information from it. Psychological studies have shown that music conditions a teenagers’ behavior.  Let’s take a look at some of the foreign music which most young people listen to.
