Facebook: Now And Then..... by BecaciaBarbie(f): 6:48pm On Mar 25, 2016
Akinsoji Babatunde
I opened Facebook around 2009, in my
freshman year in the university and boy! It was
all fun, finding lost friends and foes alike,
making fun of each other, professing my love
for one naughty fair girl wey leave me go marry
pastor...Lol, gradually, it (Facebook) started
showing levels...I remember running to Fb to
confirm if Mustapha Eskills truly updated his
status 'via Blackberry'...Lol...remember bah?
But fast forward 7years later, same Fb, different
feeling. The truth is, if you want to have an idea
at which your life is progressing, just take 2
panadol + 1 phensic tablets, relax and then
scroll through your news feed...
Season 1; Akinlabi got married last Saturday
{chai! And I still dey toast and roast Basira for
the past 2months, no breakthrough}, Koboulano
just bought a Mercedes SUV {that reminds me, I
have to finish this quick and sleep in order to
catch the first molue to oshodi tomorrow
morning}, Somto in a fabulous pic, captioned:
life in Canada is so sweet! {I don't even have a
national ID card, so make passport go chill},
Winkunle uploads a pic, with her in a office fit
only for Obama himself and captions it 'first day
at work' {By now, the two pills of panadol don
finish their work and na d last bar of phensic
remain, besides u gats manage your 10mb data
plan...so u apply common sense theory, off data
sharply}...
Lol...might sound funny, but guy...that's what
most of us go through in reality, no forming
abeg...but like that adage says...'not all that
glitters is gold'. Haven't you wondered why no
one uploads pictures of his/her termination of
appointment letter? Or share stories of the
numerous rejections at the embassy? Or
pictures of him/her struggling to enter a Fedeco
bus at Ojuelegba? Or how she marketed an
unknown brand along Ikeja along? Or how he
was forced to wed a lady he never loved but got
pregnant anyway... Dude, if you get bothered
over seeing your friends on social media
seemingly moving ahead of you, then you must
be that Agbo still living in Calabar for the past
20 years. The way it works is this, humans are
naturally engineered to post their sweetest
moments on social media and still try all means
to keep out their worst moments...giving the
impression, 'All is sweet and beautiful
Always'...if I hear! So fellas, forget that sh*t,
pray hard and hussle harder...your
breakthrough is around the corner, never get
intimidated by pictures whose making, you had
no idea. In the end bro, whether you 'make am'
or not...all na vanity upon vanity, a good legacy,
is all that matters. Peace y'all!

Nice one Beca...
One of the things I'm most grateful for is the fact that on NL most of the people here are e-friends who I can't start comparing their lives and the pace at which they progress with mine.


I also don't bother checking pictures here too because it makes no difference to me. I didn't know what they looked like last year, I can't envy how they look today. I can only celebrate with them bearing in mind that this one has also hustled his/her way out.
