Alternative Strategy

-


Hello Everyone, It feels good to be back. My long break was really adventurous.The experiences gathered are worth sharing.Trust me when I say my stories are long and unending.Today,I will stick to the title  because I believe someone needs to read this.
I love kids, they are really fun to be with although sometimes they can  be  a  nuisance.Most times they are fun..one of my  little friends about the age of  three came around with his loosed shoe lace and I had to help him tie it.While I was tying the shoe  lace, he broke the silence.
Here  is our little conversation;
Boy: I am going to build you a house
Me: OK????
Boy: I can really build a house
( I shook my head and smiled)


Boy: I can build a very tall house
Me:That is good....but how will you build me a house,What will you need to build the house?
Boy :YOU will give me the list of the things for building the house.Then,I will buy them and build

 (I was amazed at how he  pushed the responsibility of choosing building materials to me)
Me: very funny....So I will give you the list of what to buy?ok? What will you do after buying the thing and .how will you build the house?I mean where will you start from?will you teach me?
Boy:On the list YOU will write how to build the house

 (Now I am thinking to myself, how clever,I tell the person who "knows" how to build tall buildings what to use for building and still write down the steps???wow)

Boy:You see I can build a house
Me: Yeah! You are A professional at this...clap for yourself.
  I sure had a good laugh, He was so confident he could build yet  I was to tell him the building materials and show him steps on how to build.The truth is You can do whatever you set your mind to do.This three year old never gave up even though he had no idea of  building materials or the steps involved in building , He believed he could and kept thinking solutions.


  • Always believe you CAN.BELIEVE and the I CAN attitude triggers your mind and spurs ideas from within.If you BELIEVE  you can,YOU CAN.
  • When you encounter difficulties do not give up rather think of an alternative strategy.Never let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey.
  • Be confident about what you believe , let your words sound sure.Do not waver and do not Cower.

During  one of the violent attacks at Gwoza  a little boy watched his  elder brother and Father being killed.His mother  was deeply pained.Her husband was her pillar and Loosing  two loved ones in a day was shocking  for her but there was no time to mourn the dead and   she knew that the only way to stay alive  was to flee their home.   Now   a widow and faced with the responsibility to take care of  her little son and his elder sister,she made up her mind to keep them safe.    They had to travel on foot hoping that they would  find their way  to a safer town.It was a tiring journey but they were not alone.Several others who survived the attack were also on this journey of a uncertainty.After walking a long distance It seemed as though t...

GOLD CASTLE

Today I'll like to talk about  my recent adventure.I have heard a few stories  of how magnificent this place  was, I was curious .I wanted to see for myself  too.so when the opportunity  presented itself through  my  friend  Isha and Alwan I grabbed  it like a hungry lion would grab his prey. I was not alone on this mission,we went with our fun team and trust me it was worth the journey. Half way into the journey  Alwan said “ hope you guys know that where we are headed to is a headquarters for terrorist?”I turned to see the reaction  of the rest of the  team, it was a mixed reaction in my opinion on the one hand it was fear of uncertainty  on the other hand it was excitement  of  the possibility of an adventure of a life time(our team can be that unrelenting) but then  Alwan quickly  added well that was in the past.So it’s safe. The welcoming Welcome        ...

    Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Borno state  come to mind each time I think of the recent pandemic COVID 19. How much of social distancing can they practice? While you try to picture it  you should bear in mind that they live in camps  and are quiet a number.Today I would like to share a  really short story on this virus,.   A true story on COVID 19 in Maidugur i Borno state Nigeria     Halima is a Humanitarian worker working with an NGO in Maiduguri, going out to the field would have been like every other day but with all the news on COVID 19, today was different. She had to think of the IDPs who needed a lot of awareness on the Corona virus disease (COVID 19) and also her health. To prevent COVID 19 , there is need  to educate the IDPs on the virus and precautionary measures to avoid it.And someone has to do this, Halima and her team needed to do this. They were well received as usual,  the IDPs  seemed...
