#HamazonACADEMY: IT ALWAYS STARTS WITH AN IDEA

 

If you have an idea for a movie script/screenplay and little to no writing experience, translating your idea into written form can seem a bit daunting.

To fully form your idea,start by creating a

• Plot outline: this is the basic story bullet points.
• Character breakdowns: Is the descriptions of each main character.
• Character development analysis: Is a description of how each character will change or grow throughout the story.

Once you have achieved the three basic factors analysed above, the next phase is the film or script treatment.

A treatment is a broad description of a  script idea that covers key details pertaining to the story and the potential production. It is meant to persuade the reader that such a production/movie deserves to be made.

Treatment essentials include

• Logline: 1-2 sentence description of the movie. Note,this is the first thing the reader will see in your treatment, so make sure its compelling and tantalizing.
• Character description: A good character description involves a one paragraph overview of the story's main characters and role.
• Plot outline: Is to acknowledge motive, demonstrate cause and effect and show the flow of the narrative as it will be told on screen.Keep it exciting as to entice the reader.
• Finally, your treatment should end with a concluding paragraph that explains why your movie will be a commercial success and why target audiences will want to see it.It should be written in present tense and showcase the idea in an engaging manner.

Producers read treatments on a daily basis. To hold their attention, you need to make sure its concise and arouses interest. 

After your treatment is completed, it would be wise to get your idea registered.This just ensures that if someone steals your idea, you have some legal leverage.

Once the necessary steps are in place, pitch your idea by sending the treatment to as many producers, writers,and production companies as you can. It's a numbers game, so get your treatment out there.

if there seems to be no interest in your idea, you may want to consider writing the script yourself or hiring out a writer. Some producers prefer to have a fully written script along with a treatment before considering a project.

An idea for a movie script/screenplay is just that, #IDEA.

It doesn't become tangible until you can describe what that idea looks and feels like. That's why a treatment is so helpful.

A treatment gives the reader a real sense of the story and it's characters so that they can picture it themselves. After all, the reader knows nothing about your idea until you describe it to them.

Get them interested. Draw them in. Show them why you think your idea is interesting and worth watching on the big screen.

#KIDSCO: #DELICATE #INNOCENT #FRAGILE

 

Today i dedicate my write up to my lovely best kid actors and every children out there.

I left without a goodbye after my project and couldn't help missing them, i just didn't want the tears for i wouldn't be able to hold mine.

To make up for my deed, i decided to call for a get together with them and i was just so lost with the reunion.

Agitatedly i await their presence while at the park till it got to the moment of their entry, i could see the look on their faces, the surprise, the scream, the race towards me and my kneeling down to embrace each one of them with a kiss then reality dawn as i felt the pause #EBOLA

I jolted back to reality from my thoughts and i could just see that little thing that counts so easily,’ the innocent soul in every kid’.

The clamour has been about the adults who have the knowledge of the kind of danger we face with the virus and know the preventive measures but what about the children? what about that little baby that is wrapped up behind you and touches everyone or things he/she can? what about that playground? what about those innocent hugs to family friends or neighbours? what about those kids that roam the street hawking all in the name of surviving? what about those moments you are just not there to supervise them? How do we protect them.

Just like every adult, these children also face the same level of danger.What do we do to make them realise the situation and danger we face?

I believe they are never too young to understand thus as parents, do give room to enlighten and orientate them in the language you know best to communicate with them.

As for the babies and toddlers, i can only advice parents to be extremely vigilante.

With all ailments, prevention is better than experiencing the outbreak.

Lets protect our generation next, they are the future of tomorrow.

#EXPECTANT : Dealing Emotionally with Miscarriage

 

 

Suffering from a miscarriage or stillbirth can be very traumatic. Not only is it tasking on you physically,but emotionally as well. While a woman’s body can heal and recover relatively quickly from a miscarriage, emotionally, the healing process can take much longer.

Although many women do not want to deal with their feelings after a pregnancy loss, facing them can help you pull through and emerge a stronger person.

As with any loss, it is normal for couples to feel grief after a miscarriage. Unfortunately, far too often,outwardly displaying signs of grief is seen as a sign of weakness, causing some to be tempted to bottle up this emotion. Though you may want to appear emotionally strong to those around you, it is important to keep in mind that entering a grieving period after a significant loss is a perfectly normal human emotion.

How long a woman and her partner mourn for will vary from couple to couple and is not dictated by the length of a pregnancy. Whether you had an early miscarriage or stillbirth, the pain can be equally acute.

Grief is not the only emotion associated with miscarriages. Other typical emotions include depression, loneliness and isolation.

When your emotions begin to interfere with your daily activities, it can be a sign of major depression, a health issue that requires
professional attention.

Another common emotional response to a spontaneous abortion is self-blame. Many women often feel that if only they had done something differently,they wouldn’t have miscarried. These thoughts can ring in the mind for weeks, making it even harder to get over the loss.

Miscarriage can also cause a woman to feel intense anger and jealousy towards other women, even friends, who are pregnant. While these emotions can be appalling, they will eventually pass and fade.

The Male too suffers as the situation can make men nervous to talk to their partners. Not only are they upset about the loss,but also they are grieving for their partner. As a result, you may find that your partner is reluctant to broach the topic, fearful that he may upset you.

After a miscarriage, a couple’s relationship can become noticeably strained. Dealing with such a
significant loss can cause individuals to turn inwards and away from each. Yet, this is when you each need each other the most, for support and for a shoulder to cry on.

Be honest with your partner; if you are not ready to openly discuss the loss with him, say so. But don’t forget to also let him know when you do want to talk.

Discussing your feelings after a miscarriage is often difficult for couples, but it is necessary. 

If you find that there is too much stress
on your relationship right now, seeking out couples counselling can help you work through your grief as well as improve the communication between you and your partner.

Like your husband, your friends and family are one of your best sources to find the support you need during this difficult time.

Another great place to turn to after a miscarriage is a support group. Talking with other women and couples who are also dealing with the aftermath of a miscarriage can breakdown those feelings of isolation and loneliness.

Alternatively, speaking with a professional therapist one-on-one can help you come to terms with your loss.

Journal writing is an excellent method for people to air out their emotions.because a journal is private, you can be honest with yourself and your thoughts, allowing yourself to reflect on just what it is that you are feeling.

#NOTE

Furthermore, studies have found that
writing in a journal can actually speed up the recovery period during sad times.

To help yourself and those around you feel better and more at ease, make it clear which topics, if any, are off limits with you.

If you don’t feel ready to face the world right after your miscarriage, then don’t. Take
some time off of work to focus on yourself. If you can, arrange for your partner to also have
some free time so you can be together.

#ARSENEWENGER: A MAN OF HONOUR

 

 

Today i lift my hat for a man i have watched so silently for the past years.

#ArseneWenger,a man who pricked my attention the moment he made a difference in my best player's life #KanuNwankwo when he was in Arsenal.

It is never about the money with #Arsenewenger but always about the talent that lies in you even when you realise not the potentials in you.

It is also never about the thank you from such talent to #ArseneWenger but about the deep fact that when such a talent looks back to yester-years #ArseneWenger will ever be a point of reference as to one who believed in him and made a difference with him.

To #ArseneWenger every player is a family whether they see it or not.

To #AresenWenger,his fans he holds in high esteem.The cheers after every victory to the pains and tears after every loss strikes an emotion in him though as much as we all know,he is a man who hides his emotions so well.

Does he deserve the cup ? Yes and he deserves the beauty of heroism which his players and fans displayed all over the world

Thanks #ArseneWenger

Up Gunners for life

I am proud to be a Gunner 4 life.

#LITTLETHINGS: MIDNIGHT CALLS

 

That midnight call could be an emergency,do not ignore.

a young lady slept without an iota of sickness in her rented three bedroom flat,at about 3pm in the midnight she woke up extremely drained,feeble and felt life leaving her.

she picked her phone to call out for help and dialled a close friend whose phone was switched off,she dialled a neighbour who was also a good friend of hers but her phone kept ringing without being picked and lastly she dialled a friend who she kept on her blacklist as a betrayal and fortunately stays around the environ.

luckily for her,the betrayal came to her rescue not minding the hour of the day and took her to the hospital.

This is an eye opener to circumstances not anticipated,for precautions and to avert situations like this

• Never fail to reserve an airtime on your phone incase of unexpected situations that could occur at odd hours of the night.
• We all need the rest which is quite important but a phone on vibration is more considerate to a switched off phone.if not a friend,a family member could really be in need or in a state of emergency at such hour.

The neighbour didn't pick up because she felt the lady in question was in a chatting mood,a routine they engage in every other nights and she wasn't in the mood for chatting that midnight.

• You don't have to condone the midnight chatting thing if it isn't ok with you,you have a right to let your friend on the fact that midnight chatting aint your thingy so that next time you see a persistent call from such friend you will put an urgency to call.

Most networks now offer  airtime borrowing channel which makes it easier if you are short of airtime before you lay down to sleep at night.

Nobody knows what tomorrow holds thus always check your phone before you lay down to sleep to ascertain availability of airtime.

No matter the token,you may be saving a life if not yours.

#KIDSCO: A CLOSER LOOK

It is quite easy to read a child as to what pricks their interest if given a closer look.

Gone are the days parents don't bother about the talent or interest of a child until teen level.

These are days babies are making millions out of their unique smile,look,laughter,posture,attitude etc and kids are not left out too engaging in what they believe in.

#CaseStudy

A friend complains always about her 10yr old son who destroys every gadget or electronics he comes in contact with so buying these things for him is like a waste of money to her.

A short visit to her home changed her perspective.
her son kept asking me to explain to him how a plane flies and what component actually makes it fly?

He went into his room and brought out a big box he kept his things,in it were his creations;he wasn't destroying the gadgets bought for him,he was so inquisitive as to how they work that the only way he could get to the bottom of his curiosity was to dismantle the gadgets,rebuild and remould the gadgets in his own way.

It was an awesome discovery which left the mum and moi agape.Made us realised he wants to be an inventor,had to advice the mum to check out workshops he could benefit from anytime he is on vacation.

Now my friend’s lamentation about her son has turned to a appraisal.

These are days parents need to be more vigilant and #closerlook as to what pricks their kids’ interest.

A child running around with cape and using a stick as mic sure do have an iota of interest in music.

A child that never fails to move to every beat sure do have interest in dancing.

A child who destroys toys to reinvent his own sure do have an iota of interest in sciences and inventions.

A child that wishes to make recommendation on your makeup as to what colour soothes you has an eye for beauty

Many are kids with great talents and interest,all you need do as a parent is to take #closerlook and nurture them through enrolling them in workshops,summer classes,competitions etc to encourage them.

Every child deserves a right to believe in something though their interest tend to change when getting older but every parent sure do need to give their kids that opportunity to explore.

That opportunity to some could be one his/her great life time memorable moments and to some kids it could be a great venue to stardom.

Every kid deserves #closerlook,who knows what you might discover in yours.

A #Closerlook leads to #Discovery which paves way for #Nuturing and embarks your kid on a journey of #GreatMoments  or #Stardom to be the one thing every parents desire #ParentsPride.

#REMEMEBERWHEN: MEMORABLE CARTOONS

 

And so i got munched,had to babysit for 3hrs and those kids sure do know how to deal with adult like moi #SpongeBobSquarePant.

After i hour of realising   #SpongeBobSquarePant has come to stay,i quietly sat in between them,created an imaginary screen and was lost to my world of reminisce

 

Do you remember good old memorable cartoons like

#Voltron #Superted #DangerMouse #InspectorGadget #Thundersub #Bertha #GForce

#FraggoRock #MuppetBabies #SesameStreet #GreatSpaceCoaster #Tweety #BugsBunny

                #Duckula #Tom&Jerry #Victor&Hugo #SpeedRacer #Bambi #Pinkpanther #PigeonStreet

 

 

#many more to relate with.

so how well can you relate the underlisted statement with their cartoons

 

• Once a bad ol’ puddy tat,alaways a bad ol’ puddy tat is to………………………………………..
• and i will say the secret magic word is to …………….
• trashy knows best is to ………………………….
• oh frogie,kiss me! crush me! is to ……………………….
• i love cookies,yum yum,cookies yum yum yum is to ……………………………

can you type more of yours?

#SINGLE: SINGLE & PRESSURED

 

‘Oh dear,its another wedding ceremony of an old school mate and just have to be there;For how long will i remain single?’,you never fail to ask yourself.

Out of 10 best of friends you are yet to be hooked,you can not boost of a steady relationship let alone making an announcement for a wedding because the partner in your life could be liken to the devil himself.

You are always confused and in tears from pressure inflicted on you from family members.

At this point in time,friends tend to become matchmakers which is neither good nor bad and pick a match based on their judgement of the right partner for you which could really be bad.

Dear,your worst nightmare is giving in to these pressures from any side.No one survives a wrong decision taken and no family/friends will suffer the consequences with you rather you will be blamed for being in a haste and also for not waiting patiently for the right partner #ImagineThat.

The pressure and thoughts of you not having a soul mate you can talk to and share your life with could really be overwhelming which is #Reality but all good things comes to those who wait and in their waiting subject themselves to positive changes.

• Never subject yourself to looking haggard due to depression of not having a partner rather eat well,exercise,get beauty product that soothes your skin type and renew your outlook.
• Appearance matter,have a change of wardrobe.you don't have to spend millions of dough to look good.
• Renew your thought about yourself by being positive always,it attracts love
• Get involved in outdoor activities,through this you get noticed
• If finally you meet someone that pricks your interest and shows the sign,do not be carried away but find out exactly what this person in question wants of you before you fall in love thus loving the wrong one right.

Having to get a partner to settle down with aint the main issue the most important issue is the question you need to answer after marriage

‘When you wake up in the next five years beside that partner of yours,would you feel like hugging him/her out of love or strangling him/her out of ?.

Be patient,he/she will found you at the right time.

#HEALTHMATTERS: CERVICAL CANCER

                                                      Healthy cervical cells (left) are fairly uniform in size and shape, while 

diseased cervical cells (right) are irregular and disfigured. 

Healthy cervical cells (left) are fairly uniform in size and shape, while diseased cervical cells (right) are irregular and disfigured. 

Gynaecologists use a Pap smear to detect abnormalities in     cervical cells, which may signal cancer. 

Cells are scraped from the cervix, and then are spread on slides and studied with a microscope.

 

CERVICAL CANCER

A malignancy in the cervix, the narrow opening at the lower end of the female uterus, or womb, that leads into the vagina. The disease most commonly affects women between the ages of 40 and 55. Cervical cancer can be prevented by screening for precancerous cells, and it can be cured if detected in an early stage.
The number of cases of cervical cancer has declined significantly in recent decades as a result of more widespread screening for the disease. Today, an estimated 10,000 cases of cervical cancer are discovered annually and about 3,700 women die each year from the disease.
Cervical cancer generally develops slowly, over a period of years. Even before cancer develops, cells of the cervix undergo abnormal changes known as dysplasia. If left untreated, some types of cervical dysplasia can lead to cancer; however, cervical dysplasia is highly treatable. Abnormal changes in cervical cells can be detected through a test known as a Pap smear.
SYMPTOMS AND DIAGNOSIS
In its early stages, cervical cancer may not cause any noticeable symptoms. As the cancer progresses, the woman may experience an abnormal vaginal discharge, vaginal bleeding between menstrual periods, or bleeding and pain after sexual intercourse. Over time, the bleeding becomes heavier and more frequent, and pain becomes noticeable in the lower abdomen or back.
Historically, the best tool for diagnosing cervical dysplasia and cervical cancer was the Pap smear, named after its developer, George N. Papanicolaou. In this simple test, cells are removed from the outermost layer of the cervix with a cotton swab or wooden scraper and examined under a microscope for precancerous cell changes or signs of malignancy.
If the Pap smear reveals cell abnormalities, a physician will recommend that the woman undergo a colposcopy. In this procedure, which may be performed in a physician’s office, the physician uses a microscope-like instrument called a colposcopy to gain a magnified view of the surface of the vagina and cervix. Tissue samples are removed for examination under a microscope if the physician sees any abnormal or suspect areas. If cancerous cells are found, further tests may be necessary to determine if the cancer has spread beyond the cervix. Cervical cancer most often spreads to the vagina, uterus, pelvic wall, and bladder.
Annual Pap smears are recommended for most women, beginning soon after they become sexually active. Women who have normal, consecutive Pap smears each year and are at low risk for cervical cancer, such as women who have had hysterectomies or are not sexually active, may decide with their healthcare providers to have Pap smears at two- or three-year intervals. Several studies suggest that a newer test detects precancerous cervical cells more effectively than the Pap smear does. This test screens cervical cells for genetic material from the types of human papillomavirus that can cause cervical cancer. However, the HPV test is more costly than the Pap smear and is used primarily when the results of a Pap smear are inconclusive.
It is of advice that every lady above the age of 18yrs and is sexually active should go for pelvic examination and pap smear screening procedure yearly.

#EXPECTANT: MATERNITY WEARS

 

Speaking with the C.E.O. of Trendy Maternity,Mrs Tosin Adedeji,she engages us on the importance and types of maternity wears suitable for the different stages of pregnancy.

 

Maternity wears can be expensive especially when you consider the fact that you will wear them for only a few months.

However they are necessary for comfort, for style and can be acquired without breaking your bank account. Don’t give in to the temptation to buy non maternity clothes that are a size or too larger than you normally wear; you will end up with ill-fitting clothes that aren’t nearly as flattering as properly tailored maternity wears. Designers make maternity clothes with extra fabric and details that keep you comfortable while flattering your body.

Each stage of pregnancy has its own style and comfort clothes. We would be discussing appropriate dresses for each stage of pregnancy.

We have 3 stages of pregnancy: the 1^st stage aka the 1^st trimester, the 2^nd stage aka the 2^nd trimester and the 3^rd stage also known as the 3^rd trimester.

In the 1^st trimester of pregnancy, many people don’t want to divulge their growing secret until at least their second trimester. In your 1^st trimester, it is advisable to put aside all tight and clingy wear; and to stick to silhouettes that flow over your belly, hips and thighs that can camouflage the few kgs you may gain in the first month. It is advisable to wear soft knits, A-line skirts, empire waisted tops and frocks, wrap shirts and dresses. In addition, a fitted top with waistband at the bottom but some roominess above the band.

In the 2^nd trimester of pregnancy, you feel every few week you are a new size and don’t want to blow your budget on new clothes every month. You are advised to invest in a few items that will grow with you. Look for details like ruching, tie backs, buttons or gatherings at the side and wraps that you can adjust as your body grows and changes. Your boobs would probably be growing bigger, you are advised to invest in a few good bras; probably nursing or maternity bras.

In the 3^rd trimester, you begin to feel huge and uncomfortable. An empire waist dress will be good because it is easy to throw on and you are good to go. A tunic over a maternity leggings will also be good. At this stage one may get bored of your current maternity clothes, but may not want to buy more; you can solve that by giving your wardrobe a boost of what you can wear after delivery.

list of maternity essentials or maternity must-haves:

• A black dress- this timeless and classic fashion staple will take you anywhere from a dinner date to an evening out with friends.
• A black jacket/bolero: this can be worn over gowns or camisoles
• A slim fitting skirt in black or grey
• Black pant
• Jeans pant
• Jersey knit skirt in a dark colour with a soft fold over your waistband. This will make you look polished and pretty; and you won’t feel constricted and will have plenty of ventilation for you fluctuating body temperature. A line flatters one and helps to balance a top-heavy physique.
• Tunic tops- gives plenty of room where needed. It accommodates the growing belly and helps cover the expanding hips and bottoms.
• Maternity tanks in a touch of Lycra or spandex. It expand with you while keeping your curves comfortably contained. Hip length is only not only flattering but allows a pop of colour to pop out beneath top layers
• Slip on shoes with no laces or buckles means no bending over you burgeoning belly. It is good to note that many women’s feet expand due to fluid retention and joint loosening (some never go back).

Being pregnant doesn't stop you from looking trendy,always let the beauty of pregnancy flow within you.

#RELATIONSHIP: NEVER BE TOO BLIND TO LET GO

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Every relationship is sweet…

Every relationship is worth saving by all cost but deep down in our heart we must come to term that not all relationships are worth drowning for (#JACK #TITANIC).

Never be too blind to let go when the affection is one-sided.

You waiting for such days your partner will wake up and adorn you with 95% affection in return might be the days your true love actually comes looking and you aren't available.

A partner who doesn't realise your worth through your courtship periods doesn't deserve your presence in his/her life

 

Never be too blind to let go in an abusive relationship.

The thought of such dilemma to stop after marriage is 1%,if your partner can not control physical violence,THINK TWICE.

To be alive,single,happy and healthy for a while is much more better than wearing shades to cover up the abuse episodes and subjecting yourself to health hazards as a result of such violence.

 

Never be too blind to let go when a partner is uncontrollable obsessed and over possessive of you.

if a partner is uncontrollable obsessed with you and never fails to subject every move/things/people around you to scrutiny,BEWARE…

A likeable case of killing you for the wrong reasons due to irrational conclusion is 85%.

if such a partner is not subjected to psychological therapy,it could be dangerous.

if both of you can’t seem to work it out,don't allow your love to blind you to death.

 

Never be too blind to let go when your partners’ families are not so into you.

The percentage of a man getting away with marrying a lady whose family are against the relationship is 75%.

They might eventually succumb to make the lady happy if it is noticed she is madly in love with the man;though at the back of their mind,they wait silently for that day she will need a shoulder to cry on and tell her ‘ i told you so,he was never right for you’.

vice versa for a lady,it is 25%.

A lady never survives the wrath no matter the years of marriage,the families wait patiently like a lion in wait for meal.

A relationship must be 1+1 to make 1 and not 1+1 to make 2.

No one is a scape goat for the other.

Every individual deserves to have a happy relationship,courtship and marriage thou the test of time is never exempted.

Be wise with your choice.

#BEAUTY: PRODUCT REVIEW

 

TAARAMI BODYWASH

Taraami body wash was subjected to review by FASHI0NISTYLE,a web & TV magazine programmes that promotes fashion,style and beauty.

In the interview conducted with Mrs Feni Kuboye,the C.E.O of Taraami Enterprise and wife of popular Jazz artiste Mr Tunde Kuboye,she told FASHIONISTYLE she created Taraami Bodywash to regenerate,revitalise,nourish and moisturize tired and damaged skins.

The body wash contains various fruits extracts and oil as composition which makes it soothing for the body.

Taraami bodywash was given to three subjects with skin disorder in order to prove the proficiency.

OUTCOME

Subject A

A lady with cracked and dried skin due to sunburn and over exposure to harsh weather

AFTER USE:I began to notice the smoothness of my skin in a week though i was frustrated at first using it because it doesn't foam like other body wash but it actually brings out dirt on my body.i love the lemon based smell,i glow,my skin looks fresh and i am loving it.

 

subject B

A lady with blemishes and freckles from her neckline to chest due to cream mixture.

AFTER USE: Truthfully i thought it was the same old exaggerated naija tinz just to buy the product but after few days of usage,i noticed a sort of smoothness on my skin,my blemishes were fading away bit by bit,got some blisters on my body as well and it became so invisible and intone with my skin.The freckles on my neckline to chest dried out and it peeled off without a scar.Reading the composition,i didn't notice any lightening agent but my skin glows.

 

Subject C

A lady with great skin disorder due to bleaching creams

AFTER USE:When i heard it was Naija made,i had my doubt even though i heard the brain behind it was internationally trained,i still flinched but i tried it anyway because it was free.

it made me believe that the skin actually eats,the saying that what you feed your skin matters.i don't know how to explain but my skin glows and it is fresh,it is rebuilding itself and i know its not my diet,its like saying the cells of your skin are being fed with the right feeds and its reforming to create a new skin.

i expected such result from a cream and not a bodywash which makes it unique.it worth spending my money on though it doesn't really foam but you will never fail to notice the thorough deep cleansing after bath.i use it in the morning and late at night before bedtime.

 

Mrs Feni Kuboye said she was inspired to create Taraami Bodywash when she started meeting with ladies with tired or burnt skins due to damaging creams.

‘Every lady deserves to be happy and look good’,she said

Taraami Bodywash with lemon based composition and size of 500ml is suitable for all age group and all skin types inclusive of men.

so i asked the great question: what does each step of the interview entails? and what kind of employment interview takes up to five steps when you are not seeking international grants.

A research was conducted to expose the five levels of interview by seeking out candidates who had really experienced the levels.

Many attested to the first level which comes in a written test mode for proposed graduates from different backgrounds.

Few certified to the existence of the second level which is another form of written test in seeker’s environ.

One testified to the third level as a verbal interview to test candidate’s IQ and background analysis.

None was found to give details of the fourth neither was there anyone to account for the fifth level.

thus our conclusion:

From first level to third level,it is a case of MANY ARE CALLED FEW ARE CHOSEN for decorative data analysis.

From forth level to fifth level,if these levels ever exist,it is a case of ALL ANIMALS ARE EQUAL BUT SOME ANIMALS ARE MORE EQUAL THAN OTHERS through connection.A case of ANIMAL FARM.

These facts point us to three important questions

1.Must we subject our graduates who strive so hard to make a living and keep up to earn a degree to ridicule and deprive them of better livelihood?

The excuse is always of belief that these graduates are not highly qualified and competent for the position but the real question here is

2. Are the right study process,study materials and study facilities in place in the university environ?

Universities with the right facilities are way too expensive to afford and subject students to rules considered for secondary school students.

3. When will the act of placing incompetent family members/friends in positions meant for qualified graduates stop and reduce the rate of a graduate being in a position of baboon dey work na monkey dey chop?

Nobody lives forever thus to elongate the life span of a community,each of its generations must be given the opportunity to blossom.

Our graduates deserve a chance to prove their worth.

if such a chance is given and misused,it is a misfortune on the part of the graduate but at least the opportunity was given.

#EMBARRASSINGMOMENTS: D MAGICAL MOMENT

 

We sure do have moments we are so embarrassed about thus decided to share one of mine.

The moment was just so right seeing him standing in front of me all smiles as he poured the wine into the wine glasses.

I was so lost the moment he cuddled me up in his arms as he sat beside me on the sofa,he kept on the musical video to intoxicate the moment and it was romantic to the core.

I was lost to planet mars when our eyes locked and my heart missed a beat,it was definitely coming ‘THE KISS’.I was trembling as he took my wine glass from my hand and placed it on the table,’oh my,i think am in love already’ i thought.

He drew me closer into his chest and held my hair to pull my head backwards so i could face him,i couldn't help but close my eyes as i felt his lips drawing nearer

Alas! my wig came off from his grip,immediately my eyes opened because i had koroba (traditional plaiting) on my head which was my favourite,i was so like a bird splashed with water

If he had smiled i would have gotten over it easily but he just smiled and burst out laughing after the shock on his face and he did that for more than 3mins,still there i was like a wounded birdie

After entertaining himself with his laughter,he held my head in between his hands and said ‘oh my,you are so cute and you have such small head’, and he hugged me.

That was my last date with wig on.

#RIP: GONE TOO SOON; AMAKA IGWE

 

MAY 29TH,2014 7:30am

I woke up not in the mood for anything,unusually my system was too down.I couldn't move to open the blinds or even get set for a new day not because i was ill but due to the fact that i was just not in the happy mood.

Lying in bed trying to figure out why i was in such state,i received the news‘My mentor left too soon’.

A woman of honour she is.

A giant amid men.

From afar,her personality can be mistaken for one with ego but getting to know her,no one can be as young in heart as she is.

A woman that sees the beauty of talents in you even before you could deem yourself fit of it.

Ever so ready to give you the opportunity to prove her right of the uniqueness she sees in you.

Never a dull moment in her world,so humorous yet of frank manner.

Never discriminates but would rather make you know ‘it doesn't work for me’,her words.

A motherly figure in all thoughts,she would rather acts than say so to tell you she is more aware of you than you know.

Her belief in touching lives with her knowledge and skills made individual like me her mentee,could still phantom her presence in directing and editing class pointing out little things that counts in production.

An icon never to be forgotten in the entertainment industry she is.

A pacesetter whose legends will forever live on.

I love you,Ma’am

Adieus

Princess Adams

 

To Chris ihidero,Grace babasola,Tope lawanson and other crew members of her great production outfits:

She wont want us to grieve but to keep the fire of all she has impacted burning.

 

To the family:

Words aint enough to describe the feelings of this moment but pray the divine presence of our Lord almighty be with the household,accept my condolence.

#HEALTHMATTERS: IMPORTANCE OF DAIRY

 

 

Dairy is believed to have numerous health benefits, especially for women. Our focus will be on how to add dairy to your diet and keep off excess weight.

Why is having dairy in your diet so important for women specifically?

Dairy products are excellent for bone health, helping to prevent osteoporosis. This is because taking in calcium-rich foods such as milk, cheese, and yogurt helps to increase the bone acquisition during the bone’s growing stages, helps slow age-related bone loss, and it also reduces the risk of suffering from an osteoporotic fracture. It is especially important to eat dairy products in the earlier years of life as a person’s peak bone mass is reached by the time they are in their 20s. Attaining peak bone mass is important in the later adult years, especially for women that have gone through menopause.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women need about 1300 milligrams of calcium every day and dairy is a great source to cover their basic requirements, while supplementation is recommended to ensure optimal intake.

If you’re looking to lose weight, what are the best ways to do so while incorporating dairy into your diet?

Including low fat dairy products into an energy controlled balanced diet, may support your weight loss goals, notably as this supports calcium intake. Higher calcium intakes have been linked with better weight control. Researchers say there are a variety of potential mechanisms that may explain the benefits of calcium in support of weight management and merit further research. For example, it is believed that some of the minerals in dairy products, such as phosphorous and magnesium, may enhance calcium's beneficial effects on fat breakdown within the cells. In addition, the proteins in dairy products may help preserve muscle and increase metabolism.

To get the best results out of your diet and to see the results you want, you should be exercising regularly as well as sticking to a healthy diet. Exercise plays an equally important role in weight management as diet and is also in support of bone health in women.

What are the best low fat dairy options to add to your trolley?

Low fat dairy products have many benefits and can help reduce the risk of hypertension, support a healthy thyroid function and more. But when it comes to choosing your products, lower fat cheeses, low fat frozen yoghurts and Dairy Belle In Shape yoghurt and cottage cheese will satisfy your hunger.

What key tips would you give to women looking to create a diet that offers balanced nutrition?

Add, don't subtract - Try adding foods to your diet instead of subtracting them.
Add in healthy goodies you really love, like deep-red cherries, juicy grapes, or crunchy snow peas. Slip those favourite fruits into your bag lunch and breakfast cereal; add the veggies into soups, stews, and sauces for dinner. Don't forget to add in something physical as well, whether it's doing a few dance moves before dinner, light exercises or taking a quick stroll.

Hydration helps - Down some water before a meal and you won't feel so famished. Drinking a glass of water before a meal will help you watch what you eat since you won’t feel as hungry as you were. Keeping your body refreshed with plenty of water may also help your workout, staying hydrated helps you to exercise more and longer than if you don't drink water.

#MARRIAGE: A PLACE OF HONOUR

 

There is nothing compared to you loving your spouse and placing him/her in a place of honour.

For better for worse aint just mere saying, its more of a musketeer creed ‘ONE FOR ALL; ALL FOR ONE’

Your spouse must be seen through you right from

· The way you speak about your spouse (with love);

· The way you treat your spouse before families and friends (with respect);

· The way you both converse on phone and messages (with love);

· The way you both carry yourselves in public (with honour)

· The way you both make up after an argument (with understanding) and so on

An outsider will only reckon with your spouse the way you have subjected him/her to such individual.

Marriage aint a relationship of interest, it’s a home full of greater lessons of life however not easy but LOVE CONQUERS ALL.

#EXPECTANT: CONVERSING BOND

 

 

 

 

Creating a bond between you and your baby should not be subjected till after birth, its should start right from the moment you discovered you are pregnant.

Learning to talk to your baby while still in your womb creates an amazing bond which could really be overwhelming and you will be surprised your baby actually listens.

Learn to wake up in the morning, place your right hand on your tummy and say words of morning shower.

Engage your baby in conversation after chores or while resting.

Develop a habit of talking and sharing jokes while in the bath.

Sing and read stories to your baby at leisure hours.

Every step you take concerning your baby’s development, learn to share with your baby like why you need to take that particular pill; why you need to be on a certain diet; why you need to exercise; why you need to visit the doctor for check-ups so to understand these are necessary steps to place her in a healthy state.

Talk about the dad, how you met him; your experience with him; his reactions hearing about your pregnancy the first time and how he hopes to be a great dad.

Share your happy moments and moments your baby kicks or make any kind of movement and what it does to you so he/she can know what you are enduring to have him/her in your womb for 9months.

Pray together and never fail to tell how much he/she is loved.

Despite the silence in the womb, your baby hears every single word of yours and you will be most amazed at the unbelievable ways your baby can reply.

Keep your conversation simple, fun-filled, heart-warming and adventurous.

You can also engage your spouse to create his own moments with the baby too at his available hours.

#KIDSCO: THE POLYTHENE BAG SCHEME

 

Picking after the kids could be quite adorable, it give a sense of parenting when they are at the innocence state of their lives but the moment a child can differentiate wrong from right, picking after them becomes an issue to apply disciplinary actions over.

Research shows the following results

· Picking after female child 35%

· Picking after male child 65%

To cub this attitude, deploy the polythene bag scheme

· Get a new clean black polythene bag.

· Pick all packable your kid must have littered the floor with (toys, books, clothes etc).

· Don’t touch anything in his room or playroom (so your action can be justified).

· Fold the polythene bag and place in a neat corner in the kitchen or laundry room

· Don’t say a word until your kid notice the disappearing acts of his objects

The moment your kid notice, follow the script (parents are such talented actors)

Kid: mum/dad, have you seen my toy?

Parents: not really deary, where did you put, in your room?

Kid: no, I think I left it in the living room (anywhere he/she could say).

Parents: oh my, I hope it wasn’t on the floor? I had to pick all the litters on the floor to clean up, check the dustbin black polythene bag in the kitchen/laundry room

There are two reactions to expect from such statement you made,

Firstly, your kid can run straight to the kitchen/laundry room to locate the polythene bag and get all his/her stuff

Secondly, he/she can just burst into tears, cry and wine till eternity thereby leaving you the option of bringing the polythene bag yourself to sort out in front of him/her.

Either way your kids reacts, your next statement should be the message you want to get across

Parent: oh dear, am so sorry. I wouldn’t have packed it with the litters if it was neatly placed in your room or playing room.

The message sent ‘if it was neatly placed in your room’ is a manipulative mind game of telling your kid what you expected of his/her toys after his playing hours.

Your kid has a choice of taking to correction, leaving you with a choice of repetition or the option of getting new toys.

#UPCLOSE: WHEN THE HEART WANDERS

 

When the heart wanders,the soul,body and mind tends to weaken.

The mind becomes turbulent with all sort of negative thoughts,the body becomes devoid of action and the soul becomes agitated.

At this point,the mind tends to believe all hope is lost.

Life was created with two sides to it, life and death;failure and success;pain and gain;laughter and tears; and so on.

Disappointment might be the result of the today but success can be the result of tomorrow.

• Duly believe in yourself.
• Never give up on your dreams.
• If you can think it and envisage it,you can achieve it against all odds.
• Every fruit has their seasons and humans are also subjected to this trait,your time will definitely come.

it all boils down to IF YOU ONLY BELIEVE YOU CAN.

The roads aint easy but the grace is unlimited.

waking each day subjects one to a new day and a new beginning for a new script,WHAT IS YOUR SCRIPT?

ILLUSTRATION

Assuming you take route A out each day to the main road of your Street and this faithful day,you get to route A and the gates have been locked.do you go back home lamenting about it or do you seek another way out to the main road in order to get to your destination?

Life is a maze with many route out.

Every closed doors subjects you to

• a new direction to track your way out.
• a new plan to execute that business to success.
• a new ------- to get that job.
• a new ------- and so on

Everyone has a story to tell,deary;for life aint that easy.

Keep moving,keep engaging yourself in something;keep at it and one day soon the Universe will succumb to your callings.
