The little things that matter series-Ep.2-TRUST

Everyone has that moment where he or she has felt so alone and out of place, majorly because you tend to place too much value on what didn't need that much attention. Myself as an example, i meet new people and interact (which is something i hardly ever do) then boom in my mind I've got new friends that would be my ride or die and i begin playing the friend role; at this point in my mind, i have believed that if i can make myself uncomfortable for you then you can do the same for me but is that really how it works?, how easily do you trust people and what result do you get out of it.

According to the Cambridge dictionary, TRUST is defined as

to believe that someone is good and honest and will not harm you, or that something is safe and reliable:

Quick question,how many of them  you call 'FRIENDS' can you proudly say in your time of need they wouldn't loose guard you? this is one question i have learnt to ask myself each time i call someone my friend. Funny thing is there are people out there that you call acquaintance that are actually supposed to be the 'FRIEND' but sadly the roles are being reversed; not to get me wrong, having friends is alright but how many can say the same, how many can trust you like you trust them, how many can bend their back for you. Don't get me wrong this isn't a one sided thing, do you also bend your back for this people cause one thing to remember friendship is a two way thing.

    Just to ask should we always expect something from a friend...cause basically I could love a friend because I want to, not because I'm expecting you to love me back or show me some certain favour in return...I'm just saying

      I'm not saying you should love a friend to expect something in return what I'm saying is can that person give you the same energy you give them

    Fact been told trusting a friend does not depend on if that person is willing to trust you in return just like from your old post “you have to be able to come straight and treat an issue “ so I believe that before creating a friendship in your head take your time to observe ,screen that friendship, ask reasonable questions on things you hate act like you like them and see what their options are on it because a lot of people of this present generation tend to accept something because the society or someone accepts it and not because they really do so in all essence what I’m saying is that give that friendship Time , try to look for the negative things you don’t like see if you can deal with it or let it slide .BE SURE OF WHAT YOU WANT AND DON’T LET YOUR EMOTIONS CLOUD YOUR JUDGEMENT

      That's exactly my point not everyone is willing to take that sacrifice to screen the person they call friend. I for example it took me a great lesson to get my head right with this friendship thing; i thought i had already made a friend in someone already and completely forgot about the actual formalities it took me all the great disagreements and difference in personalities,training, and understanding a person to come back to my senses

    I saw a write up this morning that said " don't expect you in others"
    It really hit me cos for along time I've been expecting people to do back what I do to them or treat me in similar manner. I've come to accept the fact that no two persons are the same. My friends may not be the type to put in the same energy I put in or may even put in greater energy than me. Either ways if I can't deal with the other person's attitude I walk away, cos the only person that's got your back like you do is you.

    I'd suggest that even if you're trusting a person it shouldn't be a 💯 because it could be broken. Always expect the worst

    Being there for people is a great thing.
    But it's sad when you need someone and there is no one around to be there for you..
    It gets you thinking that do the people you love and would give anything for even care for you at all... The funny thing is that there will always be 1 person at least that will be there for you... You just need to draw closer to that person, the person may be someone you see as an acquaintance...

    But all the same, never think that because no one cares, you will stop caring..

    God never stopped and will never stop loving us no matter how many times we go against his word

Horsemen, Kings, and Councilmen: Inside the Mighty OYO Empire.

The Oyo Empire: West Africa’s Forgotten Powerhouse When people talk about African empires, names like Mali and Songhai often take the spotlight. But tucked away in the history of what is now southwestern Nigeria lies the story of the Oyo Empire — a once-mighty Yoruba kingdom that ruled for centuries and shaped the region in ways that still echo today. Let’s dive into the fascinating world of Oyo and discover what made this empire one of West Africa’s great powers. A Kingdom Born of Legend According to Yoruba tradition, the Oyo Empire was founded by Oranyan , a descendant of Oduduwa , the mythical father of the Yoruba people. The empire began to take shape in the 14th century, growing from a modest city-state into a formidable force thanks to its strategic location in the open savannah — a perfect spot for farming, trade, and, perhaps most importantly, cavalry warfare. Politics Done Right (or at Least Balanced) One of the coolest things about Oyo was its political system. At th...

The little things that matter series-Ep3: Words

How often do you talk to people and what kind of impact do your words leave on them? This is one thing that people hardly ever seem to take note of, simply because the society doesn't have time anymore caring about what's being said, everyone is only caring about what's trending not caring about how the other party feels about it. A persons word can either impact negatively or positively, this is were a blunt person tends to have issues because he\she says it the way they feel it; to them it may not be a problem cause they've let it out and that's fine but those words you've said has it actually done its job of correction or it has just made the person feel bad about him\her self.   Words influence others and build relationships at work and personally. They can tear down relationships. Simply put, language holds massive, colossal power to manifest change, whether it’s good or bad.  Marcus Aurelius, the Roman Emperor from 161 to 180 AD, considered to be ...
