Reflection #sunrise #motion

Solitude

My Dear Brother,
Please be truthful to yourself, sit down and have a deep reflection on what you just typed and may whatever you believe in Bless you(God).

Nwodosis:
When will the SGF house be raided?

Can you cite an example of a Nigerian he ruined?

ceeethru:
Thank God the said blackmailer has feel a little of what others he has been paid to blackmailed.

I have no sympathy for him because he has succeeded in ruining the future of many Nigerians.

Koln cathedral.

1.Know more about my God.
2.Visit awesome new places (coming back from church I missed my train and I decided to explore the city)
Cologne Cathedral: building project started in 1248 and was halted in 1473, finally commissioned in 1880. It's the tallest twin spined church in the world 157m.

Merry Christmas to You all.

Oboy I tried o, I have this classmate of mine we both did a 2 months holiday job, when we got paid I was telling I got so so amount and she said I got 900 euros and she said I want to buy iPhone 700 euros, I was like fairly used it contract? She said no outrighly new one. I felt like crying I told her you can buythe kind of phone am using xaomi git it for 150 euros can do same thing your iPhone 6 will do.
She is from Africa also, mehn we are lost.
I have a German friend in my class Whi uses a Nokia touch light phone,she isn't poor oo, she said she sees no use of it, she has her own personal car and house ooo.

Lovelynature:
And some guys wey no dey collect up to 50k salary dey use very expensive phones. The thing is, once you have money and business oriented, some flashy things that move others are not likely to move you

This is where our problem start and we refuse to acknowledge this, blaming our current predicament on generations before us, blaming our current and past leaders, blaming our colonial leaders for our current situation,it's time to wake up from our slumber.
Rome was not built in a day but we must think inward and wake up, stop the blame and take actions.
believe you me this mindset is not pertinent to Nigerian youths residing in Nigeria, even Nigerian youths outside the shores of the country still have this mindset, this saddens my heart.
As you said|
[center]if generations before us are useless must our generation also be useless not to think of what our children and descendants will eat in the future.[/center]

bnanzip:
But this generation of youths are suffering because of your own generation of Leaders. It shows your generation was useless not to think of what their children and descendants will eat in the future.

I hope you helped him? Why not start the movement and the youths will support you?

God bless You I studied geography for my bachelor and to the best of my knowledge you have more chances of getting into the UN system and international corporation, talk about climate change,humanitarian field, disaster risk reduction, resources management and the likes, URP is equally great just want to enlighten on misconception that geog as a field is irrelevant in the present day Nigeria.i know a lots of geographers who are self employed in Nigeria

JosephCudjoe:


Nd dz is a complete disaster for Nigeria. Obviously all d post av seen so far was based out of ignorance. Now Geog and URP are two different things. Geog is wider dan urp. What is d future of d Nigeria environment and its resources if geog is scrapped out of d system. Most courses on environment if not all, climate change amg odas are built on the knowledge of geog or on d course geog. Now if she chooses geog(grads wit a good grade) and plans her career well..she has job opportunities from the United Nations, Oil companies, Teaching hospitals(medical geog), Research institutes wich includes universities, places lyk IITA,FRIN,NESREA, NOSDRA(if she does msc in GIS)..there r a lot wich i cant just list. And even tho i av seen geographers in d aviation industry, banks,airpots, Nimet, and dz country economy is flexible to any discipline.....all she needs its a good grade at least a 2:1. And she will have more opportunities dan URP. IN conclusion if neither course is her dream...she should go for Geography. Its far better dan URP if both are not r dream profession.

Been busy lately and am not a professional oooo, just like taking pictures with my phone.
Someday I will be like the Ogas here.

SmooshCHN:
Where the hell have you been all these while? This picture is awesome.. And we're expecting more.. Good job.
