Barby's Diary

Hello Bloghearts! How have you all been? And how's the world treating you? Thanks so much for your continuous support and love. You know I can't appreciate you enough! Today's topic is another very emotional one for me...I had goose bumps writing this one, because I am guilty of it too (I'll tell my story in the course of this article). So recently, we've been bombarded with one too many sad tales of man's inhumanity towards his fellow man. One too many. The stories are shocking and unbelievable but real. Very real. And to think that all these are perpetuated by humans to their fellow humans, is alarming. God help us all. An example is the recent and incessant attack on Nigerians by the Fulani herdsmen. I really cannot place my mind as to the reasons for these attacks. All I can think of is FALSE ENTITLEMENT. You graze your cattle on people's farms and destroy their produce and means of livelihood, and still kill them when they resist your actions? ...

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...

Hi Fam! I'm not so happy that nobody got the right answers to the giveaway questions. Like, I cannot believe the questions were that difficult, trust me when I say they were easy, you'll soon figure out why I think the questions were cheap. You guys just read articles and don't take notes??? How can? The answers were written in one of the previous articles! The first two questions have the same answers, so you cannot get the first, and possibly fail the second...yeah, I was playing on your intelligence by making them two separate questions! I must confess, it was fun all the way! We should do this often. I had a swell time reading comments here and on my BBM. You guys really thought I didn't want to give out the 5k with my ''tough'' (in your opinion oh) questions. Why would you even think that? I got calls and chats from friends who thought the 5k was just a scam because the questions were too difficult...well, I cannot convince you to think otherwise...

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...

Ok guys, I admit…this isn’t nice at all. I goofed big time, and I take all the blame. Though, it is partially my fault and the other half is due to circumstances beyond my control, I take responsibility for it all. My biggest, loudest and most sincere SORRY goes to all readers of Barby’s Diary. I’m so so sorry my people for my long absence on the blog. How have you all been? A lot of catching up to do yeah? I feel like saying everything here and now, but it’ll be too much for me to write and work beckons… Yeah, WORK! That’s basically taking 99% of my time now. I got a new job (yaaaaaay!). Not like a new job sha, but let’s say same old job with a new package (lol), and work has been more demanding, tasking but enjoyable. Why wouldn’t it be? The struggle outside is real mehn! Life could have been worse, but it is not, so, I just can’t take this life for granted! Thank you Lord! Even though I still wish I can make money by doing nothing. Is it too much to ask? Is it a possibility...
