WHAT DO I REGARD AS SECRETS?

What is your little secret? We all have little secrets that we don't know how to share with our bossom friends, parents, siblings, spouse, and anyone close to us. We often feel that the day we pour our hearts out to them, we start to experience insecurity, the fear that one day, what we call secret will soon be known by all.

Imam Ali quotes; " Nobody can guard your secrets better than you, so do not blame anyone for revealing your secrets, because you could not hide them yourself.  Your secret is your prisoner, which if let loose it will make you its prisoner". What are the things we regard as secrets? Some take their romantic moments as secrets, some their health challenges, in some contexts, mistakes made, others, challenges faced. Research shows that 90% of people with secrets are more careful in the aspect or area that forms the lump of secrets they carry about.

In other news, most people do not know that some things they guard as secrets are not meant to be treated as one, but the things that are meant to be the way they are, for example; regarding the style or positions your spouse do in bed as a secret is outrightly wrong. It isn't a secret, but what is meant to be between a couple. A murderer has a lot of secrets to keep, an armed robber and liars have so many secrets to keep, but your health challenge shouldn't be a secret, because it might end your living even while there is a cure.

A murderer, an armed robber, liar, looter can get choked up with secrets, but some issues are best treated as challenges which you can divulge to people who you feel have solutions to such challenges or better still look up to God. Another kind of secret is; secret affair, dating someone with the intention of hiding the relationship from others. A relationship that is not meant to be known by all is not worth keeping in the first place. Irrespective of what we categorise as secrets, what is meant to be hidden is not worth venturing into in the first place, and this is the reason why we have to live freely without any burden of secret because no one can keep a secret, and one day, you will have to let it go either to a trustworthy or untrustworthy fella.

Nigeria is Getting Hotter, Global Warming at its Peak (Will You Relocate or Do The Needful?)

Aliya Haq says, "There is no other way, if it doesn't start with people." What starts with people? Healing the planet starts with you, in your garage, in your kitchen, and at your dining~room table (Melissa Denchak). A Nigerian citizen once shouted beside me as we were waiting for the arrival of public transport, "Oh this country is getting uninhabitable, I feel I should be in the United Kingdom", and unconsciously the little smile spread all over my face.

Little do we know that we are the agents that caused the depletion of the ozone layer, hence the experience of global warming in this 21st century. Our activities in our homes and beyond have formed the balls that roll over the earth which suddenly caused the atmospheric condition we experience. Global warming and climate change are terms used for the observed century- scale rise in the average temperature of the earth's climate system and its related effect and there are different causes as well as proposed ways to reduce the infliction of this new generation menace.

What are the major causes of global warming? Carbon dioxide emissions is regarded to be the major cause and enemy of the climate, and it is released through coal, oil, and other fossil fuels which are burned for energy. The energy in form of electricity used to power our cooking appliances, charge our smartphones, fumes from cars, energy from air planes and so on. All these and many more are the enjoyed luxuries that cause injury to our planet which most people especially the urban dwellers are not aware of, since they are the people who enjoy most of the new generation technologies. All these cause a high sea level, higher wild life extinction rates, more frequent and severe weather, dirtier air, warming of the ocean surface leading to increased temperature.

How do we save our "Earth"? In actual fact, we can relocate to some countries that are still enjoying good atmospheric condition, especially during winter, but we cannot relocate to other planets when our ignorant activities continue to destroy the countries we regard as still habitable and the result is seen during summer. Some of the things we need to do to save the earth are;

*A need to change to renewable energy. When more than half of our power is generated through solar and wind, then we are a step closer to living in a good climatic condition. In this case, carbon emissions will be averagely reduced.

* According to Aliya Haq,  air transportation is a major air pollution and a train can serve as a better option, and good public transportation can lead to less driving by citizens

* This is a time to invest more in urban planning project as it serves as an escape route out of global warming.

* Green world initiative is encouraged as planting of trees and going organic in our consumption will help to reduce the effect of global warming as stated.

We are always the product of what we make our environment look like. An air conditioner could fail when the hotness becomes unbearable, but our activities can make us enjoy our natural habitat if we can correct all to live a better life, and leave a better earth for our children's generation. #FIGHTGLOBALWARMING.

DO YOU CARE FOR A DINNER WITH THE DEVIL?

    An adage says; If you want to dine with the devil,your spoon must be long. The devil always has variety of foods placed on his table for those that wish to have a dinner with him, and the foods often come in these forms; riches, ignorance, greed, fornication, adultery, pride, homosexuality, terrorism, and the list can't be exhausted.

People that dine with the devil often go to him with their bottles of wine,  and he provides them with drinking vessels with some plates of assorted foods ( the foods above). This simply means that the devil only works on people when they have the trait of evil in them. An outright man can be difficult for the devil to perpetrate, but a man that his mind has strayed away is a useful tool for the devil, and this has a close relation with an adage that goes thus; an idle man is the devil's workshop.

Man becomes a fool at the devil's party because devil has not come to satisfy you, but to add more to your burdens, by giving you a buffet offer to add to your bottle of wine ( what you are brooding on). The devil cannot wipe your tears, but can give you what seems like defence to wipe your tears like spirit to fornicate when you are a victim of loneliness, spirit to be proud when you feel you have acquired all the wealth on earth, spirit to acquire other people's wealth when you see that they are not watching and this doom disguise like it's the way out, but it's outrightly the way into the burning furnace.

What we see is not real, the dazzling mirage, the beautiful case with rotten content, the glamour full of tears, only the wise can see clearly that what we chase after are all vanities upon vanities, fighting to hold the wind when we have not been given the strength just because we do not realise that we are dust, and to the dust we shall belong.
