The Author's Perspective

About the book This book tends to expose the fact that during times of wars, chaos and insecurity in a country even in cases of insurgency, the media plays a vital role in serving the public with relevant information concerning the state of things at any particular point in time, or even as things unfolds and develops. A lot of people are either ignorant of this, or deliberately feel unconcerned; but this does not change the fact that somewhere in the middle of a heated battle, at least one journalist must have lost their life for his or her country. The bible says, "Give honour to whom honour is due." As such, I think these fallen heroes ought to be   recognized, but today how many societies truly honour such people who have given their life to service it? The modern society easily recognizes politicians, fashion trends, movie stars, and musicians, amongst others.  No doubt, MOST of them merit the recognition, but what about thousands who have died so that news and in...

THERE IS A THIN LINE BETWEEN INTELLIGENCE AND MATURITY Intelligence is the ability to THINK and understand. While, Maturity is the ability to BEHAVE and act. Take note of these words; THINK and BEHAVE. THUS Intelligence is passive, where as Maturity is active. HENCE Maturity is an appropriate display of meaningful intelligence. In simple terms, it is the ability to act on what you understand. THEREFORE Intelligence is intellectual maturity alone, it doesn't represent or reflects other facet of maturity. IN TOTALITY Maturity is the deliberate conditioning of the mind towards intellectual, cultural, emotional,spiritual, psychological, social and moral training which is thereafter accompanied by its application. ALTERNATIVELY Maturity is the ability to coordinate ones sense of perception ( intelligence inclusive), and correlates it with one's sense of interpretation and application. WORTHY OF NOTE Intelligence is just a part of maturity. Maturity c...

THE STRENGTH OF A CHARACTER The Strength of a character is like a magnet. It is that unexplainable pull or force that naturally attracts people towards our personality. It is highly spiritual and brings our existence to people’s consciousness constantly. Some people sees it as an energy that engages other persons/people without any form of Verbal Interaction. It is more of a Non-verbal entity than a verbal one. The Strength of a character is one of the few reasons why we say people fall in love at first sight even without speaking a word to one another. Some people believes that charisma, mannerism, gesticulations and other forms of strength of character, while others feel these are necessary ingredient or condiments used to spice up an already existing strength of a character. A strength of character can be viewed from different perspective, it is vast with various dimensions. A person’s strength of character is dynamic and evolves with time, though it could be fixed i...

YOUTH AND FREEDOM Caught up in the Euphoria There is a feeling of ebullience that is associated with been a youth, the commonest of them all is the amazing feeling of freedom to do as one wishes without much interference or control from parents unlike during our adolescent phase of life.  Having waited all our lives to be set free from the tyranny of our parents, the youthful stage is now a phase to explore and experiment. It is a stage accompanies with so much energy and vibes that needs to be dissipated as quickly as it is produced so it can be replaced.      But as youth, we should know that freedom is priceless and irreplacable, it is a highly  valued entity that should be treated respectfully. Freedom has a direct relationship with time, this is because no one can have full control of his/her time forever, for example, when a youth gets married his/her level of freedom reduces due to the fact that he/ she now devotes a portion of his/her time to fami...

The Author’s Perspective Life It has come to my realization that Life is as fragile as the people that possesses it. Life consists of fragile inevitable moment of tears, cushioned with chairs of sorrow, plagued with embroidery / emblem of smiles and stamped with badges of happiness.  It is a total robust package of the good, the bad and the ugly. with this It is therefore important to understand that you have to take life a step at a time just as it comes, it is worthy of note that life is not to be countered with confrontation as it will make things more difficult, do not take temporary issues of life too dear to the heart because the heart is a fragile piece of biological machine which can be crashed down or shut down when over heated  and overburdened with unnecessary issues of life. Life generally offers us a hot spicy chilly plate /painful sting of failure which we ought to convert to  a chilled juicy glass drink of relaxation, determination and resilient, it pres...

(MY LAST LOVE) Immediately I dropped the phone, I felt a sharp excruciating pain within me. It was like a fatal blow, it seemed like a big bulldozer combined forces together with a caterpillar to smash and demolish the delicate walls of my heart. If the word ‘heart attack’ had ever struck me to be real, it was at this moment of my life. I couldn’t really tell what just occurred, I was battered and shattered all at the same time by multiple forces and factors that I couldn’t really understand and state clearly. Mixed confusing feeling of emotions rushing through my veins at very high velocity, depression, frustration and sadness all came knocking at my door all at once, all these unwelcomed strangers ready to pull me down and all I could do was to stare at the ceiling with my finger on my lip and my other hand wrapped around my trunk, I was trying hard to harmonize these different conflicting thoughts and memories hovering in my head. My head, my mind and my heart were on fire and kep...

A medicine for a refined mind Your size doesn’t define your might, Your age doesn’t define your wisdom, Your looks doesn’t define your ability, Your position doesn’t determine your confidence, Your wealth doesn’t define your fulfilment, Your fame doesn’t define your credibility, Your calmness doesn’t define your vulnerability. If you are still in the habit of making your judgement of people based on their age, size, looks, position, fame, wealth, etc. Sorry to say you still have a very outdated mindset that should be left behind with the year 2019 and should be updated and refined.

It is a whole new dawn, expect things to be done in a different way other than yours, nobody was born to impress anybody. Stay blessed. More articles message; Nathanielisu2@gmail.com

True meaning of Success When someone says they are successful, the next think we look out for is the kind of cars they drive, the kind of houses they live in and the kind of businesses they operate. In other to be able to qualify their degree of success, we try to quantify the level of their possession. We equate wealth with success, this is wrong thinking. Success is abstract, it cannot be seen, it cannot be touched, it cannot be tasted, it cannot be smelt, it cannot be felt, it can only be perceived. So it will be wrong to tell how successful someone is by basing our judgement on physical tangible things like houses, cars ,etc. These physical things are not and should not be the determinant for success. You cannot measure an abstract phenomenon using a physical device. You can measure rain using rain gauge, you can measure wind using wind vane, you can measure sun using sun recorder, but you cannot measure an abstract component like success using any scientifically manufactured d...
