HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY NIGERIA

By

I pledge to NIGERIA my country,

To be faithful, loyal and honest,

To serve NIGERIA with all my strength,

To defend her unity,

And uphold her honour and glory,

So help me God,

Amen.



Happy Independence Day, Nigerians!!! I'm so proud of my country. Today, we remember and celebrate our past heroes. Our story of Independence cannot be complete without them. They have done their part. What are you doing to consolidate on the foundation they laid many years ago???

Be the change you want to see.

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE.

Let's play a quick game...who can recite the second stanza of Nigeria's National Anthem? You can? Ok! Write it in the comment section. No google please, no cheating. Maybe, there'll be a prize for the first correct stanza.

Blowing kisses your way,
Barby.

    Oh God of creation,
    direct our noble cause
    guide our leaders right
    help our youth the truth to know
    in love and honesty to grow
    and live in just and truth

    to build a nation
    where peace and justice shall reign

OF COMMITMENT AND STUPIDITY

Today is one of those rare occasions when I have no idea as to what this article's title should be, even though I have thought it through for a while. No befitting title comes to my head. One of the reason for this is because I'm kinda pissed...Not with you guys, not with myself, but with the story that forms the background of this article. I'm sure some of the media savvy people here might have read it somewhere, or heard about it from someone. I knew there was fire on the mountain somewhere, but I never really took my time to read what the hullabaloo was all about (reading is educating really. Never ignore any piece of information you see, you never know how it will help you, or what information you're missing out on). This story is a crazy one, so I'll try to share as best as I can. Note that it is just going to form a background to the major discussion on commitments (YES! We just found a title. Thank God.) A certain celebrity couple had a major commitmen...

KNOW YOUR PLACE!!!

Hi B-Diarians! How have y'all been? And how's the weather at your end? It's been raining cats and dogs here. In the past days, I've been drenched on my way to work. It's so bad that I've sometimes gotten to work pretty late or my footwear gets bad...very frustrating situations. I get to the office and all I want to do is take the day off and go buy a posh car in peace, but then again...I am humbled by my account balance jare . I just respect myself, sit in my seat and drink hot tea or coffee! Few nights ago, I was having a conversation and then there was this funny story I was told. Let me try to summarize...a boyfriend and a girlfriend went for a birthday party somewhere, the bf stepped out for a while and came back with a male friend who sat beside him in the front seat. It was time to leave the party and the male friend was in the front seat, the lady insisted she must sit in front while her bf's friend should go to the b...

Drum roll people! The blog is 1. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I couldn't have done this without You. Yes, You! No long story today...I just appreciate everyone. I really do. Thanks for urging me on, for reading, for commenting, for liking and sharing my posts, and for the goodwill. I don't take it for granted. I really don't. A quick word of encouragement though, JUST DO IT. Yes, just do it! You never know. I remember I always wanted to write. Not news or celebrity stories, but real life issues, day to day happenings and co. Not because I know so much (I'm pretty young), but because I want to know more, because I want to feel the pulse of other people and learn from them, because sometimes, it is easier to write than to talk, because most secrets live within us or in between the lines, because it is better to pour it out before it kills you or dies inside of you...because I know the world would be better if we all loved and understood each other more. I r...
