NIGERIA, Birth place of my ancestors Salute to the soldiers and our fathers who fought For the future of our past Living us with something to hold on to Our Freedom We celebrate with a mixture of laughter and tears Not forgetting our hero’s who protected our future For dreams and aspirations fulfilled and those dreams that never got fulfilled Tough now the present On this day, we remember our roots and what we stand for Your advice against corruption and greed our compass stirring us back to morality Reminding us of the dreams we have, the goals we share and the future we desire Sometimes I wonder how bad it would get before the good is born I see our minds torn As thoughts echoes in hopes of the future Recovery is sure from this disease of corruption and greed One thing is certain The gates of hell not prevailing I see the  future in our descendants Building what we could not build Viewing what we did not see Restoring our broken ego and returning our lost ho

   “Do not let arrogance go to your head and despair to your heart; do not let compliments go to your head and criticisms to your heart; do not let success go to your head and failure to your heart.” ― Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart Criticism is something that is seen in our everyday life, right from Infancy till now and beyond, criticism abounds. If not properly understood, criticism can fuel alot of negative attitudes and behaviours in different persons and why is that, we all react to things differently.. According to Wikipedia,there are over 18 types of criticism.. Many right? Yes! And the beautiful thing is that you would have enageged in one or the other of the different kinds of criticism there is and you wont have known. Well, let me list out all the varieties of criticism there are so you could get familiar with them.. 1 Aesthetic criticism 2 Logical criticism 3 Factual criticism 4 Positive criticism 5 Negative criticism 6 Constructive criticis

       We live in an age where everybody wants a well to do partner. Every lady wants a wealthy man, a man that has a good apartment, good job that pays monthly. Every guy wants a lady that is productive and intelligent. A man/woman can date several people over time, but would stick with one because they do not possess the attributes of their type.  The list of guys you may be attracted to may not like you because you are not their type but pretend they do. Before you start developing strong emotions for a guy or a lady it is advised you first find out who their ideal partner is, so not waste your affection in the end.  This is one reason people get heartbroken. Find out if you fit it, If you don't then find your ideal partner.      People say "ehmm  I will mould  him or her to my type, now this is a very wrong thing to do because someone can just play along either because they want what you give them or they probably are sleeping with you so, they don't  want to lose t

#7 REASONS PEOPLE CAN’T LEAVE AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP. #1.  IT’S NORMAL.     Most people can't get out of  an abusive relationship, because they feel the hostile treatment they get from their partner is normal, most times  due to what they may had discovered from parents or several people they've crossed path with are just same.  They believe a non abusive partner only exists in NOVELS or MOVIES. They have no slight idea of what a real relationship is like. #2.    THEY DO NOT KNOW WHO THEY ARE.        Everyone has self worth. Most people who can't leave an abusive relationship do not know who they are. If you know you are a price, you are special, you know shouldn't be taken for granted... You wouldn't tolerate being humiliated and abused in a relationship. He beats you today and he apologizes and does same again and you sit in that relationship and tolerate that, then you don't know you. She humiliates you, forces you into doing things,  always feels s

    Abusive relationships is not one that should be entertained or tolerated,  everyone is  priceless, limiting yourself to several relationships entertaining abuses from this guy and that girl is senseless. A child who grew up in a home where the mother  ir father is a victim of an abusive relationship feels that it’s the best, no other way to be loved and they entertain abusive relationships because they now feel it is normal. Most of these people are not comfortable in non abusive relationship because it seems strange to them and  can't keep up with it.   Not only a relationship you receive constant beatings and insult is abusive, there are other ATTRIBUTES   of abusive relationship we are a novice to and we see it as Normal.   ATTRIBUTES OF AN ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIP * CONTROLLING BEHAVIOR.       DO Not ever engage in a relationship where your partner is excessively controlling,  they expect you to do everything they ask,  they ask,  they don't care about your opinion,

     We live in an age where story books excite us like movies, unlike back in the days when our fathers were more into vanguards, newspaper or journals. Story books seems to be the most read amongst journals. In this age,  growing youths wouldn't want to read the magazine, newspaper, listen to news,  find news,  read articles,  study books that will improve and broadening their thinking,  they did rather read story books.       Story books are for entertainment, they make you excited and inquisitive, you just can't wait to know more. Story books entail happenings of the past and even the present that we may have heard but a little twisted. Story books are great books; they make you anticipate, even when heartbroken, stressed or bored they always have a style of drawing your attention from hurt, street or boredom.      We are not too exposed because we long for entertainment instead of life desire. Stories should be the icing not the cake itself.        Stories are mainly

DEAR NIGERIANS After a long terrific day, I pounder On the struggle that faces the hustle Of every proper Nigerian. The image became clearer each time I pick up My pen to defend my generation Corruption!!!a word gold plated in the hearts Of babies born in a nation ever growing in infant hood Nigeria, a country with 59 years of Independence And experience of unlimited national budget funding foreign projects, Still growing with promising debts I wonder the destination of our country With this toss for power and the leaders Taking what they don’t  own All we feel is the emptiness of their promise And testimonies of their greed, I see the rich getting richer and the poor Becoming poorer in a mine of gold Mined by incompetent hands With youths cruising the streets In flashy cars and political apathy With the opportunity of young dreamers Who should have accumulated a 5.00gpa In a country they are only allowed to roam the streets Many have come with transfor

     Emotion is a person's internal state of being and involuntary physiological response to an object or a situation based on or tied to physical state and sensory data.        In this age we live in, we let our emotions lead us. We feel with the heart, but never judge with the heart but with the mind. Because emotions are just feelings that never last long,  emotions expires and we are either back to our senses or something else catches our attention. We get drunk and intoxicated with our emotions that our brains stop working until its expiring date. Emotions are like sexual pleasures that it is enjoyed until you climax, only then you are back to your senses. We don't think properly when we are emotional. Everyone is emotional but it’s nicer if we don't get drunk by our emotions.       Kinds of emotions that is difficult to handle. • LOVE • ANGER • JEALOUSY • ANXIETY • SADNESS •   HAPPINESS           These are the most of our emotions that is really

       Procrastination is the act of postponing, delaying or putting off, especially habitually or intentionally.       Procrastination is the enemy of our present activity. It is a form of stress relief. Procrastination makes us leave works and schedules unfinished. Procrastination is a habit we possess every day, we can't get fully rid of that habit, we can only avoid it. We have lots of works waiting on our desk, we have daily schedule that should be finished but we procrastinate and the day goes by and nothing has been done. Everyone is/has or will procrastinate on something in life, today, sometime or soon. Nobody is an exemption unless one avoids it. It is a habit that can't be stopped but avoided. Note: It is a habit not a Job. We have the habit of procrastinating but we are not procrastinators. HOW DO WE PROCRASTINATE? • WE DO THE IRRELEVANT THINGS INSTEAD.      We have  a job to be done but we say " I'll start in the next 10 minutes, its already 10 minu

        Depression is a disease that has no physical remedy. Depression has no drug prescription, doctors cannot help solve it, herbal can't help, miracles can't work it, and your pastor can't help you. Your mind is the only remedy to your depression, how you control it is up to you.       Depression is a psychological problem as defined in  Depression Part 1 ( https://veraharvey.blogspot.com/2019/08/deression-part-1.html?m=1 ).  Not only lunatics (insane people) who walk the street or who are in a psychiatrist hospital are suffering from psychological problems. There are stages of sociopathy. Being insane is bad, not being insane and yet suffer from a psychological problem is worse. I have watched insane people closely and I notice there are some characters they possess; *   They don't get good food to eat yet they are happy. *   They don't have a roof over their head yet they are happy. *   They don't worry about tomorrow. *   They don't worry about

       We have the fire, pursuing it is a problem.  At one stage we are certain; this is how I want it to be. At another stage we don't know what we want anymore, the fire has quenched.      Pursuing Ambition is no easy task. Every new year people list out resolutions, this is what I will do this is what I will achieve, am going to be really focused, I won't let anything distract me.  In the next four months this year will be gone forever, you haven't started out what you listed out. Some did not even lay hands on it, some started but got distracted.  You keep friends who see your ambition as a foolish idea, they make you quit.  You fail to realize that a wise idea is foolish at the hearing of fools. We have naysayers lying around; they are mostly people very close to you. Your partner, parents, siblings, friends etc, they always tell you, you are never good enough; it’s too difficult, find something easier and such demoralizing speeches.    SOME REASONS WHY WE CAN NO

    Depression is no longer a feeling but now a disease  of the mind and this is common all over the world. Most times its not fear,  it is depression. We live in our past lives which keeps us depressed forever. Most people have failed to realize that it is past, they personally torment themselves with living in the depression of their past.           In psychotherapy and psychiatry, depression is  a state of mind producing serious, long-term lowering of enjoyment of life or inability to visualize a happy future.       You punish yourself because you believe you are not perfect.  You first convince yourself that you are good,  you go up stage and you fuck up because all you think when you are up there is " I don't think I can do this",  i am just a done, dirty slut,  I don't deserve anything good,  what if this people know about my past".  When you see your past as in the past you talk about your past and learn from it each time you talk about it.      Depress

INTRODUCTION.         Voice aloud reader reads aloud text displayed in an android app,  e.g. Web pages, news articles,  long emails, SMS, PDF, files and more. WHY YOU NEED VOICE  ALOUD READER. • HELP ONE MANAGE TIME.                Most people spend hours struggling with reading, yet having a lot of work to finish up.      Unequivocally, one can't study while driving if reading verbally,  one can't study while walking,  or doing chores. Voice aloud reader helps one accumulate knowledge at any state or position because @voice reads it orally. •  NO INTEREST STUDYING.         I have noticed most people complain about inability to study, no interest studying,  normally  fall asleep while studying.  Voice aloud reader is the solution you need.

       I have noticed that most organization  has turned into business. Most organization has turned into a source of making money instead of being a source of impacting.  Most people would  say ' every means is a way'.  People are ready to go through every legal means applying illegal forms in getting whatever they want.   Numerous writers have written about this,  bloggers,  vloggers,  public speakers  must have done a whole lot to this article. THE SCHOOL SYSTEM.    The school is no longer an institute  or an organization  dedicated to teaching and learning but an institution dedicated to making profit.  This is most common in the higher institutions.    A school is to be an institution where we teach,  learn,  test our ability and scored according  to our test result.  What's the essence of paying fees, spending,  five years pretending to be learning. Nowadays,  since we have the money,  we are only going to school to show off and get a result for having purpose.

     The problem is not the problem.  The problem is your ATTITUDE about the problem _ CAPTAIN JACK.     A leader has a attitude  that makes him or her different from followers. Attitude is a product of belief.  You cannot have a attitude beyond your belief.  Your attitude comes from your belief system. You are born to solve a problem. Dont tell God to take away your problem else you don't want success.  Problem is what makes success. Without a Goliath there would be no KING David.  David never prayed for God to take away the Goliath. You are born with an answer to your generational question. Your value is based on the problem you solve. Your values goes up with the  problems you have solved. You are not remembered for the problems you avoided but by the problems you solved. If you want to be  great look for problems.  Jesus is so famous because he solved the most important problems on earth. "Sin & Death".  Every problem is a business.   The problem with most probl

    Excuses are just  words we come up with to quit making it sound legal whereas its illegal. Most people fail to see that excuses are just conjunction of words to better us for the moment. Excuses sounds best to the person who's making it up.  You can only make excuses to the public,  you tell excuses to suit their thinking,  how do you suit yourself,  you sit around,  you nag,  you say life is unfair. You made up the excuses, then,   why transfer blame on life.  Your family background didn't  cause you to fail,  the evil in this world didn't cause you to fail,  not until you see   no demon tying you down you can never succeed,  you live a wasted life as you continue to assume a demon in your family tying you down.    There is no excuse to quit, we see our problems as excuses instead of opportunities.  No excuse is good enough to earn a reward.   Most people feel comfortable  with  excuses; I can't keep up with it because its; DIFFICULT   Its better to shoot high

     At 11:25am yesterday, I was at refinery road close to the mall at warri, Delta state. I was to attend a business meeting, and was in haste, just when I got to refinery road, it was blocked  with sticks and palm fronds and women were seen gathered, protesting that they havent had power supply for more than a week,  and they need power  else no vehicle would be able to convey persons and goods from one place to the other. These women have refused to give in to the situation and are also tired of it,  and they protest for their right. Most of these women complained that they don’t  owe  light bills, the transformer has no fault and yet they are been denied their right to enjoy power supply. According to one of the protesting ladies “we have met with the king and he gave us a go ahead to protest, and we would protest continually until our need has been met”.    Drivers tried convincing these women to let them pass through, some even tried to force their vehicles  through the cro

        Studying at night is of a great importance to our health and emotions. Note, studying not reading,  they are two different words.     Studying means to fix the mind closely  upon a subjects ; to dwell upon anything in thought; to muse ; to ponder. To endeavour  diligently ; to be zealous.     When you return from work take up a book,  story book,  newspaper, magazines.....anything that could literally steal your attention from the present world. Most times its best one exercise the mind or our thoughts from work,  family,   life,  into some other story world even for a few minute, our thought Is worth it. Placing your thinking on the usual or continual thinking or life routine would do you no good. It won't make you beyond your normal thinking, it would only help in decreasing  your ideas. And you think you are successful living an ordinary life.  Don't  live an ordinary life,  live an extraordinary life. How can you do that,  even if you're always busy, studying

      Relationship according to Rev. Respect karo is "Two people running a relay race into a ship".     I have noticed that in so many relationships there is no fun aside having sex. Relationship is not just meant for sex alone but for fun and intimacy. Relationship is a quick access to intimacy.It could be a friendship relationship which consist of : The casual friendship relationship and the intensional friendship relationship which might graduate into courtship relationship  and then to marriage relationship. Relationship helps you to know more about your partner, but most people think relationship is majorly on sex. She satisfies my sexual huge, he satisfies my sexual huge,  am enjoying the relationship. I heard someone say ' the easiest and cheapest way to have free sex is to get into a relationship. They would say "have someone whom you could literally get sex from randomly and wouldn't request for money,  its that cheap".   What a mindset!  They n
