The Woman Who Insulted Her Mother Inlaw (#SpeechlessMode)

Follow me @Nolimit2life Make una 'ep me judge matter o! Just saw this post on Linda Ikeji's blog and it left me speechless. What type of man leaves his wife and mother to insult each other to the point where his own mother is cursing his wife! I'm not sure the man in question understands the gravity of the pronouncements being made by his mum otherwise, he would have stepped in to end the argument. Dear Husband "The two has become one" whether you like it or not, a curse on your wife is a curse on you so get ready. But it looks like he was doing it for the'gram (as they say nowadays!). Woman even if your mother in-law is a troublemaker receive sense and be diplomatic. Don't get me wrong, I know some mother in-laws are agents of the devil but it was still a cringe-worthy video. How people develop the impetus to speak disrespectfully like this nowadays beats me. Right in front of your own daughter. You've left an indelible mark on that child. Th...

This Space Of Mine

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life #MySpace I know how shocked people are when they see updates or get notifications that I posted on this blog of mine!!! It is my space and I'm simply not letting go :) It could be so much more but I keep feeling I'm losing my anonymity by the second... thus... I tread carefully!  I will still vent and rant but it will be with wisdom. There's so much to talk about and dissect yet I find myself writing in my head but never putting my thoughts on paper!!! I wonder why :) It's a new month.

Asking for Help

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life What is It about asking for help that gets us all jittery??? This Q is what I'm pondering on as I go home. Why do we find it difficult to ask for help from others talk more of accepting the said help. Is it cultural or is it just human nature? Growing up, I know mother dearest always said not to accept anything from strangers and that just became the mantra. But that's even out of point(come to think of it)lol  I'm talking about needing help, seeing someone(people) that can help and keeping quiet because you don't want them to think you can't cope without them or whatever excuse we conjure up from the recess of our vivid imaginations. Or the simple example I'm about to give; A while back in winter, I was rushing for the train, I had about seven minutes to get to the train before the train moved so I decided to get a cup of latte to warm my insides(the cold was real). On getting to my train with two bags in tow, I was finding it ...

Trust The Process

Follow me @Nolimit2life Nothing happens by mistake. Not even your misjudgments and errors. Life has a way of sorting itself out so trust your process and keep it moving.

Passing Off Harrasment As Discipline!!! #NaijaFactor

Follow me @Nolimit2life At some point this madness has got to stop. This harassment cloaked in discipline! I'm back again to vent. Maybe I should change the name of this blog of mine to "NoLimit's Vent Corner" lol. Great idea I just may do that. Anyways I read about the FRSC(Federal Road Safety Corp) Commander who decided to take it upon himself to check the nails and hair of the staff and then proceeded to cut the hair of the female staff whose hair style wasn't at par with the FRSC standard.( Even typing this crap stinks to me.) It brought back memories of how a teacher tried to do same to me in one of the military schools many moons ago. On that faithful day I had come to school with my hair short, all blown out and well styled. I was truly feeling myself...didn't realise this female teacher wasn't particularly pleased with it. She then called me to the staff room, requested for a scissors and then proceeded to cut my hair or should I say try. ...

Crossover Yawa

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life 2016 was a good year. Dasall. And I had to suck it in and wear my big girl pants and face my numerous fears... turns out they were all mirages! Funny how life works sometimes...okay maybe not funny lol. Straight to my gist. My friend's boyfriend who in my opinion is a mistake not because he's a bad person but because he projects his worst fears on her and is limiting in nature... from what I understand about this thing called marriage, whatever you see right now will be magnified by 100 in marriage. The married folks can confirm that if they choose to. Anyways, she tells me on new year day that her boyfriend is really upset with me, he felt disrespected because of what I said or how I said it, he has vowed not to ever talk to me again etc. My face went blank... I was like shuo🙄🙄🙄, on top wetin exactly? what did I say that was bigger than mouth? Then I faced my friend and asked her directly if she thought I was actually disrespectful to him, she...

Get Out Of That Funk; Destroy The Source

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life The other day I seasoned chicken and forgot to put it in the fridge... it is summer here so it doesn't take too long for perishable food to turn bad. Luckily I discovered on time and I quickly boiled and grilled it. But I noticed there were flies all over the place and I just couldn't fathom why or what caused it seeing that I've already cooked the chicken. I suddenly looked in the corner of the table top and found the bowl I used to season the chicken...that was the culprit. Still don't know how I missed it but right after washing this off, the flies probably got bored and left (party is over flies!) Then it occurred to me that this is how life plays out, we fire-fight sometimes trying to solve little problems or even big problems that keeps popping up like boils in unwanted regions. If we deal with the root cause of this issue(s)... the source of this problem(s)... then just maybe we will be able to win the war and not just a battle. ...

When Motivation Dies...What To Do When You're Losing Your Motivation.

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life Before I tell you about the quote that inspired this post, I just want to share that I've been around this loss of motivation mountain many times over and I heard this quote and it resonated with me in ways even I myself couldn't imagine. Now here's the thing, it isn't enough to be talented, it is important to actually develop your skill (whatever that is) and this is done mostly via, practice, training and discipline. When motivation dies...Let discipline take over ...yes that was quote I read and it is so apt I could write a whole book on that(but I won't..yet). Sometimes it feels like there's no reason to complete that project, that task you've set for yourself but you need to be disciplined enough to complete it. Discipline is not a switch to put on or off although with time, it may become so. Discipline builds up as a result of deliberate and consistent actions taken over a course of time. Don't let anybody fool y...

Fela Durotoye Prays For Nigeria - Join in

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life I'm calling all lovers of Nigeria to please join this amazing initiative that is catching on like wild fire. It is a prayer chain for Nigeria. Background: I was busy minding my business and job hunting as I'm currently between jobs(that's another blogpost, will keep you updated on that) when I got a notification from Periscope that Fela Durotoye has logged on.  I wasn't even following him on Periscope at that point in time, but I was too curious to ignore the notification (I wonder why I got the notification). Anyways my curiosity got the better part of me and I decided to join the 'scope.  In the 'scope, he said that God told him to pray for Nigeria for 49days ie 7weeks at every watch hour... watch-hour: apparently it is believed that watch hours are times the heavens open to earth ie 12midnight,3a.m, 6a.m.9a.m,12noon,3p.m and 9p.m by the way I'm not hear to debate or argue with you about the truth in that or not. All I ...

The Way We Are... Tiwa Savage & Tee Billz meltdown

Follow me @Nolimit2life Sometimes I read people's comments on events and issues and I sincerely want to pluck out their eyes! Like really!!! Where in the world is your heart of compassion, what makes people think they can just go on people's page,post, Instagram whatever and just spew forth jargons! Making nasty, horrible, unmentionable comments under the cloak of anonymity! A friend sent me the Tee Billz posts this morning but I didn't even take much notice, I just went about my normal business of the day till someone's comment on Twitter popped in my line of vision. I wasn't a happy chappy, because as usual, it was distasteful and uncalled for. Dear fellow Nigerians or should I say Dear people of the world, depression is real and this guy; Tee Bill just had a meltdown and a soulless being had the guts to say they should have let him jump. WOW! Again WOW! Some people are just filled with slime. You are not that anonymous and I tell you if you were to be trace...

Beyonce's Lemonade

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life I hardly gush over artists, okay except "The Masked One" - Lagbaja...in my eyes he's all kinds of dope! Anyways I digress, so I watched and listened to Beyonce's Lemonade and the "Beyhives" have every right to gush over this one. Personally it took me through the journey of a woman who got her heart broken and her eventual healing and redemption. It is amazing how Beyonce remained stoic even in the face of all the allegations and cheating rumours... Reminds me of Victoria Beckham in a way...full on respect for both of them for standing by, forgiving and loving their men regardless. The rumour mill went off the chain suggesting they are about to break up...*I laugh in french*... No devil can break this ones and you can take that to the bank. I love how she turned her pain to "kerching"!!! Gosh that woman has got strategy...she's not the first to have had her heart broken...but she might as well be the first to d...

Dokun & Joro Olumofin; You're All Kinds Of Wrong... GbemiOO You're Not Innocent Either

Follow me @Nolimit2life The genesis of this matter started when an OAP, GbemiOO, decided to share her view on crashing people's party. Check it on Bella Naija and Linda Ikeji . The two brothers in question decided to react and they went in unnecessarily hard on the lady. It was incredibly ridiculous in my opinion and a major embarrassment to men (real men) world wide! You see I'm not even saddened by the fact that 2 (not one) grown ass men took time out of their supposedly non existent schedule to insult a woman, who probably stepped out of line but come onnnnn... they went too far. The nonsense the Olumofin brothers spewed forth was a lot and it goes a long way to showcase the state of their heart. Chatting on about how they don't back down and proudly shaming their lineage in the name of proving they have pedigree. I can tell you for free that your ancestors are not proud of you and your action is disgraceful to all sane men who are otherwise known as gentlem...

Olamide's Rudeness, Don Jazzy Patronising But Epic Response And The Make Up

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life I can only attribute Olamide's outburst to the alcohol level in his blood stream, that's the only rational way I can excuse it in my head. It was appalling and in bad taste! Screaming and dropping the mic et al. He's the king of the street but the street didn't vote for his candidate, well next time, engage with the street and they just may be kind to you. Heard Don Jazzy was calling the artists under his label his "children". 😳😂😳! Don't know how to react to this as I do not know the dynamics in the group but I totally like his sarcastic and patronising response to Olamide. Heeheehee! Uncle Olamide if you want the car, come get the keys! That must have winded the poor guy up cos I read his further outburst on Twitter. Like someone said on Twitter, these artists need to learn to lose with grace, let me go further and say they need to learn to take citicism in good fate. I've seen artists turn on their fans and literally...

Confused.com Part 1

Follow me @Nolimit2life So I saw a couple of teenagers buying weed/drug from a supplier today on my way to lunch. I literally froze and stood staring at them. I was speechless and absolutely unhappy. I felt like disrupting the whole show with *koboko but of course I remembered where I was and readjusted to my environment immediately. The boys are within my nephew's age range! I am so sure of that; yet they had the effrontery to be buying weed in front of me! Now I understand how this boys stab each other with no conscience. Of course if you've taken a mind altering substance like weed or whatever the heck they were buying your conscience is subdued and temporarily buried! These youths are exposed to unnecessary hazards. Guess it's part of youthful exuberance. But seriously our society needs help!!! Speaking of youths, I'm off to call my nephew.

Who Owns The Mums That Fly At Night???

Follow me @Nolimit2life So again I ask who owns the mothers that fly at night? The wicked mother-in-laws, the ones who maltreat househelps, the conniving ones who make the devil look like a saint? Well I'm just wondering out loud...heeheehee Someone put a post up about his mum being the best mum in the whole wide world...So I thought to myself; interesting! I've never really seen a bad post dedicated to any mum. So I've rationalised it in my mind... she may be a witch and a demon to others but to you... she's golden! That's how strong the bond between a mother and child is!

My Current State Of Mind

Follow me @Nolimit2life Dear God, I had a conversation with my friend about how people just go crazy and behave badly after a tragic situation as a coping mechanism for the trauma they experienced and I was of the opinion that it is all about choice. They chose to react that way, it does not excuse their bad behaviour but it sure explains it. We talked about the pros of having a great support system who will be there to speak life to your dead situation and we both agreed on the importance of good people around. What we didn't talk about was a situation where you really don't feel like sharing what and how you're feeling with your support system, not because you'll be judged plus there's nothing to judge anyways but because you're so angry, frustrated, tired, drained and mad that you can't put all those feelings into words without sounding like an ungrateful wretch because if there's anything you've been, it is Faithful dear Lord. But Lord tod...

Z- Zap The Negativity!!! End of "A to Z Challenge"... Whoop Whoop!!!

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life YAY!!! I made it... I ran, I walked, I crawled, I flew and I even tried jumping but I made ittt! And for my last post, I will be zapping the negativity and welcoming all the positives to usher me into the new month of May!!! I'm going to be thankful for at least three things every day in May and I'm going to live in the moment and enjoy doing that completely. I'm not going to worry about my account not being fat and shapeless and I will just appreciate its skinny shape for now:) I'm going to praise my way to breakthrough and I'm going to ensure I laugh genuinely daily. No I'm not necessarily going to put up posts about this but I sure will share from time to time. When or if negative people come my way in the Month of May, I'm going to ensure they leave feeling awesome and positive; and I'm going to ensure I make a difference in someone's life daily by at least making them laugh! I will do my best to train my...

Yang To My Yin

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life Basically, I've always wondered about the description of Yin and Yang... well not really until now. See I was trying to write something really cool about someone being the Yin to my Yang(I'm pretty sure I've heard it in a song before) then I checked the meaning and I decided that whoever explained it or who ever coined the word Yin & Yang is a chauvinist!(It's okay to laugh, it's not that serious"). So according to dictionary.com,  Yin and Yang: two   complementary   principles   of   Chinese   philosophy:   Yin   is   negative, dark,   and   feminine,   Yang   positive,   bright,   and   masculine.   Their  interaction   is   thought   to   maintain   the   harmony   of   the   universe   and   to  influence   everything   within   it. But my question is why is the negative and da...

Xray Your Life And Tell Me What You See

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life To be honest this is one of the most difficult things to do. To look at myself and my life critically and actually take stock of my actions and reactions.  Where I'm at, my motives for all I've done, analyse it all and check for adverse variances and deficits. Up my game in areas that needs improvement and actually pat myself on the back for where I fared well. It is easier said than done plus seriously it will be easier to get a shrink lol! how do you even xray/audit your life? If you're reading this and you've done that before, please kindly send pointers my way. Thank you!

Walking Dead

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life My question is why die before you die? Why should you live in fear of what can be when it hasn't even happened? Why choose to live life in another's shadow when you're meant to shine so bright that we need shades! Why have you chosen not to live at optimum(In other news, I think optimum is my new favourite word as I think I've managed to use it in 2-3 consecutive posts!lol). Don't let anything turn you to a walking dead; a shadow of your former self... tell whatever it is and tell yourself you only live once(YOLO baby!!!) and even if you must exit, you will go with a bang! Life happens I know and I also know it can be overwhelming, but whatever it is, here is me sending you a massive hug and whispering in your ears live a little, don't let anything or anyone kill you before your time.
