You probably must have heard every motivator talk about self-awareness and how it can be a game-changer but no one talks about what happens next. Ask yourself this: How do you think?

I am sure most people have read Purple Hibiscus by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, I read this book as a teenager and it was one of the books that contributed to my literary interest, now i have been hearing talks of the book being adapted into a movie and people are sharing their opinions on which actor they believe will best suit certain characters in the novel.

Many people believe that the only time they can celebrate themselves is on their birthday. Birthdays are seen and known as special days meant for happiness, gifts, and appreciation.

The launch of this new grade stemmed from an effort to enhance oil output, following several years of underperformance in the sector due to operational challenges. This announcement followed the presidential executive order suspending NNPC's 30% deduction of frontier fees from gross oil revenue and requiring that all related earnings be remitted to the Federation Account.

Dating has now become more flexible but also confusing. One common result of this is the rise of “situationships”. The word situationship has become so common because a lot of people has chosen that path. A situationship is a romantic connection without a clear definition or commitment. We have had people share their experiences about being involved in an undefined relationship, and they tell how draining it can be for a person emotionally and sometimes physically.
