Just a few seconds

-
    Today I checked my blog and noticed it has been abandoned for so long, I could give a thousand and one reasons why but is there really a genuine reason? There is so much worth sharing and the truth is there is absolutely no reason not to.
      A lot has happened lately but the most recent that struck me is the death of  a colleague...you know why?
I thought I had more time, I thought  a hello will do for now....
 It dawned on me that with some people you will only have a year,with some a month ,some a week,some a day and others just a few seconds therefore don't misuse an opportunity to reach out.


   More often than not you may never get the chance again to give a nice compliment, a smile, a hug , or share some laughter, you may never get a chance to say good bye.

 Don't wait for a person to be gone forever before saying how much that person is loved or appreciated, or how grateful you are for how much impact they have made in your life.

Size every moment,reach out now while you can.The fact remains that we do not have all the time in the world but we have  enough time to add some value to our world.We have just enough time to truly live.


When you have a chance to help or to make someone happy use it wisely because you never know if all you got is just a few seconds to make a lasting impact.

Have you ever heard of Gwoza before? Well Gwoza is one of the  local government area  in Borno state,Nigeria that has suffered several attacks. 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...

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...
