2018: A YEAR OF DEFINING MOMENTS

-


An amazing 12 months it has been so far this year. Several things have happened; people have lived, died, succeeded, gone bankrupt, progressed, regressed among several other things. Events and happenings have rocked the whole world around us both at home and abroad. Discoveries have been made; several start-ups have opened channels and ways for human advancement and development.
Everyone would surely have peculiarities to talk about; those which happened during the year. During the course of the year, relationships have been made, severed, repaired or restored. Courtships have evolved into marriages, some have remained static and some became toxic and eventually broke. Marriages have broken, couples have gone their separate ways and one-time lovers have gone become strangers and haters. One thing or the other has happened to everyone during the course of the year that has taught each and every one of us one lesson or the other.
Personally, the year has been a very productive year for me. Even if it began on a rather slow and drab note, things took shape during the year. Several plans came into perspective, ideas became creative start-ups, creativity mixed with commitment and dedication saw me produce some of my best-written materials up-to-date. I've learnt several new things in life and one of the big lessons learnt during the course of the year is the fact that ‘' one can never justify his or her actions objectively unless when criticised, analysed, discussed or thoroughly checked by others.
The year began for me with a happy though reoccurring event; my birthday which came up on the 12th of January. It was one of the best days of my life. Not that it was all merry and jolly but it was surely a day worth remembering for me and my loved ones. Fast forward to few months after my birthday, I came in contact with one of the most amazing people I've ever met in my life - Abdulmalik Maryam Lolade. The events, moments, scenes and scenarios that took place after our meeting are ones I can’t forget even if we are ending the year on a rather ‘distant’ note.
Minutes from seconds became hours. These hours became days, days that turned into weeks and several weeks culminated into months. Months of different events and happenings; some of them I still like to remember and many others I don’t want to think of. Months filled with right and wrong decisions, happy, sad, boring, lively, jocund and merry days, moments preciously shared with wonderful people and occurrences that made the heart bleed. Defining moments were central to the several decisions made during the year.
Moments that had to do with either regretting the decisions made or sticking to the choices and alternatives selected. Moments of rage when the crudest and meanest of conversations took place, moments when the best of words, statements and expressions were uttered as a result of wonderful happenings and events. Moments of brilliance, moments of realism and real-life problems, moments of realisations, fight, struggle, victory, loss, pride, downfall and success.
Moments that shaped how the rest of the year went b, moments that made me feel loved and adored. Moments of happiness with individuals like Salah Raheemat  Motunrayo brought about good feeling and right state of mind. Moments of despair, need, pain, hunger, rejection, dejection, heartbreak, tears and mood swings all took place during the course of the year. These moments happened due to several reasons; some of them self-engineered, some unwanted and unknown, some situational, some life-posed and others coincidental.
Defining moments of the year has gotten me to where I am today. Allah (SWT) has come through for me in all ramifications throughout the year. Lessons have been learnt both in the normal way and in a hard way. The events of the year have shaped me and made me a better person. I now know what to do, when to do it and how to do it. 2018 has been an amazing year for me. Let's have a wonderful 2019 together!

Playboys and Lust - Abolarinwa Tayelolu  So i wont blame the play boys,they were once in love and with their heartfelt newest desires,their love, care and everything they wished to offer were splittered with thoughtless swords...i wonder what they had gone through,faking every moves,every motives of theirs, just to ensure that they upbeat how much they have suffered in regret after losing the real person that they loved..some of them chose the railing games,some of them go dirty just to impress and flow away their pains whilst some of them remained ever the same sensing the little regrets that they could not saunter, it was never their fault that they never right their wrongs,so they never bothered to love again...love is significantly correlative to pain..most times the loyalists suffer and will never explain why it failed... As a result of their first heartbreak,the tendency and push which they had for love are permanently suspended for many more years to come. I have to be caref...

TRUST: QIDAKINGIN’S POINT OF VIEW

-
Going by the Dictionary meaning of the word ‘Trust’, according to Wikitionary.org , Trust is defined as ‘’confidence in or reliance on some person or quality.’’ With this simple meaning of Trust, we can see that having trust in someone really means a lot. Firstly, because the trustee has both confidence and reliance on the trusted . Secondly, this should be also respected because it takes good respect along with honour and dignity for someone to have trust in another person. Once the trust has been betrayed, I tell you, for the average man, that is the end of it all. One cannot gain that credibility again due to the fact that no matter the amount of pleading from the person who has lost his or her credibility, he or she already has a dual-personality to that individual whose trust has been betrayed. He or she might find it hard to stand up for that person again or even believe the utterances of that individual. Trust doesn’t necessarily mean just the monetary aspect only bu...
