HAPPY INTERNATIONAL MOTHER'S DAY

Image
The joy of a woman! So today being 12th May is an international mother's day, I have decided to celebrate myself, my mum and every other mother around the world, thereby unleashing my bump photos which was taken more than a year ago. Every time I look at this picture, I usually have this unspeakable joy. I'm super excited and grateful to God to being called a mother.  On this day I want to give  s pecial thanks to my mum through which I came to this world, who didn't  think of wasting me when there was absolutely nothing. Who went through the pains and sufferings to nurture me and see me grow, making sure I fulfill God's purpose for my life. Even though I wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth, I was born to be contented. My mum is a rare mother, my best friend, my intercessor, my super strong mother, my prayer warrior, a mother like no other. This is not about hyping, its about my beautiful experience having such a mother called Mrs. Inumid

This thing called social media!

Do you know that social media can make one happy and crazy as well? So many people now see social media as the air that they breath and can’t do without. Its funny at the same time a reality. Me particularly, I don’t think I can survive without Internet on my device. Yeah, it’s that serious. As a matter of fact, I know of someone who cannot visit the toilet without going along with the phone, just to check through Instagram (social media) At its basis, social media is a website or an application that enables users to create and share content or do participate in social networking which is a form of communication. E.g., Facebook, twitter, Instagram, WhatsApp, snapchat.  I studied different statistics concerning social media and I discovered that it has penetrated to more than half of the world's population as at 2018. However, the rate at which social media usage is increasing tremendously, has affected and still affecting many lives  and the society as a whole,

You obviously have gotten the idea seeing the image above. But yeah, bean cake and Pap, usually called 'Akara and ogi or Akamu' in Nigeria. Last time I shared on how you could make 'Gbegiri' soup, and today I'm sharing with you on making Bean cake.    I am one of those who wake up thinking of what to prepare for breakfast. So as usual this morning, I was just busy scrolling my phone and browsing on the net what I could make for breakfast. You know, we all do this sometimes especially at this age where internet makes life easy.    Ultimately, I got that idea- 'Ogi and Akara'. Since I had the ingredients in my kitchen, made it so easy for me to decide. Note, if you don't have Ogi, don't be discouraged, you could as well use custard. S

Travel abroad: how to deal with culture shock!

Image
Even though traveling abroad is quite exciting and interesting, it could also be challenging to some extent especially at the beginning. Everything would seem to change the moment you just landed. Now you’re out of the airport, you’re busy looking around, taking in the newness around you. Smiling, thinking and calculating at the same time, how fulfilled your trip would be. With my little experience, I thought it would be helpful to share with you one thing you will certainly experience when travelling for the first time to an unknown region and how you could deal with it. Have you heard  of the term culture shock ? Immediately you arrived to a new country, you begin to see things differently or may be slightly different to where you are coming from. However, your daily routine, culture, and the attitudes of people around you are no longer familiar. The process of recognizing, understanding, and adapting to these different changes is called culture shock . What are th

HOW I MADE MY 'GBEGIRI' SOUP

Today I'm sharing one of my ways of preparing gbegiri soup. 'Gbegiri' soup is a very popular Nigerian beans soup, mostly eaten and appreciated by the western Nigerians. It could be made with either a black-eyed beans or brown beans.  Don't worry, gbegiri soup is considered to me as one of the easiest soup. it's really a no fuss soup to make.  I encourage you to give a try after reading through the simple steps if you haven't attempted it before. You would be shocked to find out how easy it is. So if you are Yoruba or probably hanging out or  married to a Yoruba, you must have heard about this combination; 'Gbegiri ati ewedu' meaning gbegiri and ewedu. ewedu is another kind of complimentary soup which is goes with stew. In general, gbegiri, ewedu and stew can be best enjoyed with amala or tuwo shinkafa, depending or your preference or what's available. Interestingly, just some weeks ago I decided to give my family a nice treat of this sum

My short stay experience in Dubai

H i people, I just thought it's about time I shared my short stay experience in Dubai. I have always have this high expectation about the city and the beautiful things around it. After spending about 3 years as a student in one of the transcontinental European countries, I decided to switch to UAE where I thought I would find a job to greener pasture.  It all started in 2013 when a room mate of mine then, told me she had an agent who could help for the visa application process. I got the contact from her and decided to reach Him (the agent) after concluding with my parent on such decision. After the long and well sounded talk with the agent, I concluded to give a try as I was assured of  getting a job.  Thank God for my lovely parents who supported me with the fund to cover my trip. May God continue to bless and keep them both. I sincerely owe them a lot, such a caring and supporting parent. The employment visa fee + agency fee cost nothing less than three hundred and se
