Men Need To Step Up For Real

Image
Men seriously need to step up. We need each other to be complete and everyone has a role to play especially when it comes to FAMILY. It is not the will of God for women to raise kids without fathers (of course the have fathers gone M.I.A). The man is to HEAD the family while the woman provides SUPPORT. This is the will of God for families, changing the dynamics spells doom for the family, the society and the world at large.

'The Virgin Traveler'

Virgin Atlantic  By  Claudia Nwankwo  -  The next time you want to travel to  London  from Lagos, try Virgin and thank me later! Lagos to London was awesome aboard Virgin Atlantic. Cool stuff...I loved every bit! It was a smooth trip and a lovely experience from the client desk at Murtala Muhammed International Airport , Lagos all the way to Heathrow. The entire journey was cool. The Virgin crew were very courteous. Easy protocol, no lousiness, no delays...simply professional. Everything in-flight was awesome. Nollywood star studed movies. I saw "the arbitrators", staring A-List actors like O.C Ukeje, Adesuwa Etomi, Ireti Doyle etc. Too much drama, too many swear words *sigh* cool though. The meal...oh my world!  I had chicken curry with coconut rice in-flight ..it was delish! Very tasty and very Nigerian. I enjoyed it so well I forgot to take pictures.  The interesting part (for me)  was the wine. Oh! T...

By: Claudia Nwankwo Everybody wants to do things without hassles, and this has been the core premise of technology.   With the advent of internet of things, it would be much easier and convenient to do alot more from our mobile devices. The need for convenience, accessibility and choices gave rise to the development of  E-commerce  which has become big deal in recent years driving physical stores to extinction. As customers shopping preferences and behavior changes, technology continues to improve usability and experience of both buyers and sellers. Credibility is yet a big challenge for online transactions with several issues ranging from payments, deliveries, product quality etc. Hence, alot of people still prefer physical transactions buying from open markets like  computer village .

An Attitude of Contentment and Gratitude is way to go!

Image
There are things we take for granted that we should rather be grateful for on a daily. Freedom, good health, sound mind et al. Only people who have lost these benefits understand that being alive and healthy and having the ability to do things, think and take decisions for yourself is a privilege. There are countless number of people in prisons, hospitals and terrible situations that they never planned or ever imagined that they'd be in but life happened. They are not where they are because of what they did or didn't do and we are not better by not being in "their" situation. Tables can shake, break or turn at anytime to whichever direction and it's not our choice to make. We can loose control of the things we hold so strong. It rains on both the rich & poor, the weak & strong, young & old. It rains everywhere! Life will happen when it will... The understanding that "this is life" and in life anything can happen regardless of ...

Let Go and Get Going!

By: Claudia Nwankwo  It is true what they say about "when you find the right someone...you can just tell, you would just know you never experienced that kind of peace and ease. Everything kind of fall into place. One after the other, the puzzle is fixed. It is the same feeling when you find yourself at the right place and at the right time or when you finally land that job that connects the dots and makes you happy.  Nothing can be more fulfilling than doing just what you love. Some of us get carried away chasing the money that we don't see the abundance within/ around us. Yes! You get the money but you struggle to understand why you still do not have some peace of mind or some level of satisfaction but when you find that one thing you have been destined to do, it becomes "a rolling stone". The passion wakes you up at odd hours, gives you unbelievable inspiration, strengthens you and you are just unstoppable.  You just know you were made for thi...
