Hi, everyone. Welcome to a New Year. Ouch! Did I just say that?

True its one, Isn't it?
Whatever, its been a while and am glad to be back. Hopefully, I won't go back to my shell. (lols)

Trust the holidays were awesome and the New Year was fun. As usual we are in day 17, time waits for no one but before it goes let me drop this:

Got so many Whatsapp well wishes and prayers for 2019, loads of content on social media but unfortunately no chicken escaped the knife during the holidays. So much positive energy everywhere, how I wish such amount of energies attend to every human daily.

The previous year wore itself on me like a like an astronaut suit on the moon. Its all in the past now and its time to move forward. After all, plants grow and bringing out new fresh leafs how much more humans. Not that we have to grow new hands or limbs (lols),  well if that happens, science will explain it.

What growth is to me will be different from what it is to you. Mine could be learning a new skill, starting a new business or travelling the world. Yours could be to spend more time with your loved ones, a change of career, keeping fit and playing more sport. Whatever it is, our desire to grow is quite important to make 2019 eventful. This year offers such opportunities, all we have to do is find them!

I have promised myself to be a better blogger, write inspiring stories and above all, bring delight to the heart of my readers. I did hurt some people last year, I hope not too this year and if I do, I promise to let go of my ego and say sorry. What promises have you made? Have you assessed your behavioral pattern? Are you approachable or you've feel you've got the burden of the world on your shoulders? Perhaps last year you gave up on some relationships and since then you've not worked at restoring it back. It may not be any fault of yours but then reaching out is not a bad idea. The truth is we need each other.

Promise yourself to be more kind, loving, caring, give a helping hand, strengthen the weak, pray for the nation, go an extra mile for a neighbour, be selfless and walk in love towards those who hurt you. Its something we can do and attempt to do. Some of us, we are addicted to work, lets create more time to spend with our families, they need us. Are we employers or employees, lets purpose to build better relationships with our colleagues.

At the end of the year look back and to see how well you have done and prepare for the next!

All the best to everyone. Happy New Year!

My story

My name is Olugbenga Falusi and welcome to my blog. Many times in life what you are actually looking for is right under your nose. You search the depths and find nothing, your soul becomes restless seeking expression. I'm sure that resonates with a lot of us! What you need at such moments are people who see your talents and skills and can point to you the direction to go. They may have to push you, follow up to ensure the beauty they see in you is fully manifested not just for them but more for the benefit of the world. My story: Right from when I was a kid, the art got a better  part of me. I wanted to know how to draw but to my own amazement, I could not even draw an orange, I struggled over the years to be someone else, my primary school classmates were so good at making comics and I would buy from them using my lunch money. I cared less about getting food to eat, I wouldn't let go though I accepted my fate. One day, somewhere, life situation did hit me and that sp...

Previous elections have seen candidates battle it out via campaign promises, debates, fund raising and getting their platform nominations, and this year’s election will not differ except for the pre-debate before party presidential tickets. Who becomes the next US President is important to nations of the world, it is crucial to what happens in Russia-Ukraine war as leaders are closely monitoring the developments at the US polls.

The Market is Open

  Presently, Nigeria consumes an average of 44.3 million litres of petrol per day as compared to 66.7 million litres before subsidy removal (source: NMDPRA). While the average cost of petrol in the world today is $1.31 US dollars (source: Global Petrol Prices), in Nigeria it is $0.503 (source: Global Petrol Prices). The official exchange rate is N1,469 to $1. A simple multiplication to that effect leaves the cost of petrol at N757 a litre in the global market while NNPC is selling at N617 leaving a difference of N140. I ask a question, is government still paying fuel subsidy?    Meeting the required local demands has been a long-term issue in the country and the declaration of subsidy removal by the Tinubu administration on May 29, 2023 hiked up the pump price of petrol astronomically with its ripple effects on delivery of goods and services and cost of food. The grand entrance of Aliko Dangote into the oil industry appears to be a source of relief to the Nigeria...
