But why do people speak ill of social media, it's crazy!

Many people turn to motivational speakers self help when their boat stars sinking. They need the most life-changing information to ensure their boat stays aloft, one more time.

Quantity and quality in content production

Quantity and quality in content production

Quantity beats quality in the digital world, hands down. The internet pays numbers not necessarily quality. So stop aiming for perfection when producing content. Aim to inflate your output, and everything else will fall into place. Enjoy my insight

The fight on drugs and drug abuse - a marijuana illegalisation case study

The fight on drugs and drug abuse - a marijuana illegalisation case study

So folks think that illegalizing a commonly abused drug like marijuana actually solves the conundrum. On the flip side, the reality has been a mess, so far. Drug use among the youth is on an upward trajectory. Concomitantly, criminal activities are at an all-time high, thanks partly to drug abuse and addiction. Paradoxically, making marijuana illegal only serves to exercerbate the sprouting security concerns stemming from drug use. In this episode, I invite you to think with me; how legalising weed is the path we should tread!!!

An impeccable alternative to reading books

An impeccable alternative to reading books

I know reading voluminous books seems banal; more of a hard feat for many.

My take on gender pay gap disparity

My take on gender pay gap disparity

Some people decry the fact that the average women's salaries are often lesser as compared to men's; and that the averages should be equal. But I disagree with them. I believe that there are a number of factors that dictate what amount of money someone can be paid. And that brings out the difference. Listen to my detailed explanation

Morning blues

Morning blues

Why is sleep so sweet during the first few hours of the morning 😣... You feel like heaven and boom you got to wake up before most of us, run after your dreams. It's kinda a catch-22 situation. When to hit the snooze button you get to enjoy some warm life on earth while also sleeping on repels you from your dreams, which also assuares you of a warm life on earth, only that there isn't no immediate gratification.
