STOP OSTRACING SOUTHPAWS, THEY ARE GREAT PEOPLE!

In your life journey, no matter how short.. i’m sure you must have come across a southpaw. But is it really true that left-handers are more likely to be geniuses? Lefties generally lead more stressful lives because they’re existing in a world meant for right-handed people and the belief that there is a link between talent and left-handedness has a long history which I won’t be discussing today rather I will be discussing some things that actually give lefties — you guessed it — the upper hand.
The Uniqueness of been Left Handed.

Remembering
This may have to do with the way lefties use their brains, but it definitely makes their memory special. The explanation is that the two brain hemispheres of left-handers are more strongly connected.
I bet you this peculiarity does not have to do with age cause 2year old lefty has lead me to a road where I have walked twice or more than but still couldn’t remember my way back home.
While it’s not always easy: the challenges can make them stronger. Although lefties grow up to cherish their creativity but they do find it difficult to live in a right-handed world. Left handed are deprived of lot of amenities but yet the deprivation make them stronger and they love been different. Some times I wish am left handed because I love being different and unique too. Having to overcome obstacles, and always challenging yourself, ultimately makes you a stronger person. I am right handed but I credits lefties for their creative spirit.
Lefties often learn to be ambidextrous :
Ambidexterity is the ability to use both the right and left hand equally well. But it’s also true that ambidextrous people tend to do better in sports, arts, and music.
They’re highly adaptable : Hats off to your flexibility, intrepid lefties cause nearly all instruments and machines have been built by and for right-handed people. That means left-handers have had to adapt to less-than-ideal circumstances throughout their whole lives.
They are a great conversation starter : My niece who is a lefty once told me all her toasters started their conversations with how conveniently do you use your right hand to wash your butt? and that conversations lead to friendship and friendship moves to a stronger and only God knows what happened next.
They’re better at sports
Lefties can swing: they can left hook and can adapt quickly to unexpected situations in sports. In fact, if you have a left-handed child you should encourage them to play table tennis, baseball and cricket to maximise their chances of sporting success.
Always in good company:
Half of the US presidents since the end of World War II, including Harry Truman, Gerald Ford, Ronald Reagan, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama, which is fairly remarkable when you consider that only 10 percent of the population is left-handed. Oh, and some of the world’s biggest epic entertainers, movers and shakers are proud members of the left-handers’ club Mark Zuckerberg, Justin Bieber, Albert Einstein, Bill Gates, Henry Ford, Oprah Winfrey, Steve Jobs, and , just to name a few.
Being left-handed is more common in twins :Research have it that 21 percent of twins are left-handed but am yet to come across a left handed twin despite having a lot of twins around me (Maybe I need to conduct my own research and write about my finding). Hit us up with your comment and let start from there.
They’re not necessarily right-brained : Most right-handed and left-handed people use the left hemisphere of the brain to process language and information. It’s a common myth that lefties are right-brained and more creative and artistic than righties.

This writeup is in honor of those underserved, underappreciated group that’s just amazing at adapting to the circumstances, Don’t ostracize left handers. GOD loves us all– no matter which hand we use.

International Youth Day 2020.

UNDENIABLY , Nigerian youths are suffering unspeakable harassment in the hands of the police, although we know some have a card up their sleeves. It is an undisputed fact that youth play an integral part in advancing development, democracy and peace, and in promoting values such as respect and understanding which Nigeria government can benefit from both technologically and economically.
Regretabbly, Their are numerous vivid reminder of the excesses of Nigeria police harassing our youth all over the country on the spurious pretext of fighting crime.
Many young ambitious and talented people have experience harrasments and unjustifiable acts of the police. Despite their drive and achievements, young people’s contribution to society often goes unrecognised, nor are they adequately invested in or included in decision-making processes.
Although there is no justifiable reasons to commit crime or involved in atrocious acts but at the same time young people face formidable issues of unemployment, discrimination and lack of access to education and healthcare and our government have failed to lift a finger.
Legally , the police have right to make arrests, but the power to impose judgment lies in the judiciary only. Nigeria grundnorm start to the effect that everyone is presumed innocent until found guilty. Brutality is the real face of policing in Nigeria. For this, they have been repeatedly caught in the act . At times, some youths have been murdered extra – judicially.
Conclusively, the government should Change Our World for the betterment of the society as the 2020 International Youth Day slogan implies. Also, our law enforcement agencies need to be reformed. All the law enforcement agencies especially the police should desist from their crude ways, laws, rules and regulations should be constitutionally obeyed. Left unresolved, these challenges will impede nations if our parents do not make their homes their children castles. Am aware that men make houses, women makes homes but this task of raising an ambitious youth and ensuring a crime free society is a joint task of both men and women.
Take home to the youth, there is no day that you won’t come across problems so instead of you to whine and complain be proactive and take the actions needful to surmount challenges. I know youths are not lazy, I know youths are ambitious and talented but they have to continuously exhibit the skills to the world.

❤️ Happy Father’s Day ❤️

If you don’t know what to get your daddy or husband, you can never go wrong with a thoughtfully written greeting cards. I know one of the most difficult part is writing how much someone means to us. Write how you feel about your daddy and husband and let him feel your emotions in the letter.
We seldom write about father’s day, However, there has been a development recently. Father’s day is getting more attention. Though, it has been an annual celebration, mostly celebrated on Sundays yet we need to recognise the efforts of our fathers. Our fathers who push every buttons to ensure we never lack a thing even when they don’t have it. We owe our fathers alot. Religiously and culturally, it is our duty to honor our parents (not just our mothers), we must respect and love them because we can never pay them back the sacrifice they made.

Many more times, efforts of fathers disappear into thin air. They mostly go unnoticed because we are closer to out mothers. They work like a cat that moves silently with no noise and sweat. May God be please with my mum who showed me those noiseless run, hidden sweat and the unseen pains to make me stand out. She told me, “your father fathers many”. He is a leader and a role model. My father show me the way of life. He told me anything is achievable if I set my mind to it, that gave me the inspiration to blog.
Father’s day is all about fatherhood and fatherhood is the duty that is entrusted to every male. They can be leaders, mentors, protectors, care-givers etc. From earliest times, men have been expected to lead their families, and men should be proud of bearing this responsibility. Today, however, too many men do not lead, and often they are not even there at all.
How can men be respected, loved and honored when they fails to live a worthy life? How can they be respected when they can’t lead their home? How can they be a mentor when they do not possess the skills. I salute the reputable ones. I understand it is not an easy task and now that I am married, my mother’s word ring back in my head
A life of a father is really sacrificial. Being a good father can easily go unnoticed, yet it is one of the most valuable assets to a family. We have a lot to do as mothers. Father’s hide their efforts and it is our responsibility to let our children know of their father’s effort
I celebrate my dad, my superhero. I celebrate my husband, our hero and I celebrate all the father’s out there who ensure they are leaders, mentors, protectors, teachers and guardian to their children. I am not forgetting those who couldn’t wait to eat the fruit of the labour, those who could wait to watch us grow and those who died in their prime.
Happy Father’s Day to you all.

Judge Others Favorably

From waking up to brushing your teeth, getting dressed for work, driving, riding the train, or taking the bus. These are the times that someone will surely upset you. People will bump into you, cut you off, take the seat you were going to sit on, and not hold the door open for you. Transportation usually brings out the worst in people. Let not even talk about the pandemic now cause it’s a story for another day, the tiredness of wearing nose mask, going around with sanitizers and adapting to the new ways of life could make anyone go mad. This is your opportunity to not get bothered by other people’s bad manners. You are the one who will suffer. Your day will be ruined because they didn’t even notice they bumped into you, cut you off, or took the seat you were going to sit in. Judge others favorably. You never know what battle they are fighting. Have a productive day.

AGEISM

This week is for elders, so we continue from where we stopped yesterday. Some people are hearing Ageism for the first time. Some know what it but don’t really have a depth knowledge about it. Most organisation are found guilty of ageism either directly or indirectly, posting a job advert and putting a specific age limits is ageism. Nobody has the power to stop himself or herself from aging and this time am not talking about the physical appearance that can be taking care of by beauty cosmetic products. This article will give you the basic knowledge you need, to understand what ageism is.

Ageism is discriminating toward an individual or group based on age. Ageism can be a situation where someone generalizes that all older adults are frail, weak, or forgetful; or it can refer to an older person assuming someone younger is not experienced enough to be competent. Like other “isms” (racism, sexism, etc.), ageism creates negative stereotypes about people based on their age. Elders suffering from cognitive challenges’ undergo serious personality changes; at this point they need care and attention not discrimination. When they are left unattended, most of them are gripped with overwhelming feelings of dejection, purposelessness; some of them even turn violent. Regardless of the fact that many of us know that aging is a natural progression and it has its own shortcoming, most of us tend to ignore this and resort to an unruly approach.
When Does Ageism Occur?
Ageism can occur at any point when a person is perceived to be “old.” There is no definite age when ageism officially begins for older adults. Individuals over the age of 80 are usually affected most often, as this is age when physical impairments tend to become more visible.
In summary, birth, childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age are the most crucial stages in a man’s life. All these stages have their very own issues and troubles. As each level passes the physical strength deteriorates as well as the mental stability lessens.

Even though we are living in the digital era that also has us busier than our parents were, they might not understand it at their age. It is important that we teach ourselves ways in which to provide the much needed elderly care while being full of compassion and respect. You need to be available at least to visit them and talk with them for a while and make sure they know they’re important to you. Therefore, be ready and available for them when they need you. Take their elderly care as your responsibility.

Don’t Burn Bridges.

By that I mean maintain your relationships with people even if you think you are never going to see them again. For example, if you are quitting your job, don’t chew out your boss before leaving! You might run into him/her again later in life and wish you had never severed ties so harshly. Your new job might even need a recommendation letter from your old boss. You never know when you might need the help of someone you knew in the past. It is imperative to burn bridges that don’t allow you to cross, stay away from bad vibes and always stay positive.
Notwithstanding the above when burning bridges, be careful not to torch the person on the other side. They were meant for something, just not for you, don’t include your children, your wife or husband in any matter, don’t cry more than the bereaved and don’t cause collateral damage in any issues. Don’t do something permanently stupid just because you are temporarily upset, if you have to burn bridges don’t let it be bridges you cross. Nobody is useless, they are not useful to you does not mean they are not useful to others. Plus there is already too much hatred in this world, why add more towards the people you interact with?

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

Do you take care of an elderly person in your family, your neighborhood or total stranger?
Have you ever stand up for an elderly person to sit at the railway station or car park?
Have you call to check up on any senior citizen you know? Finally, can you remember any acts of kindness and compassion you’ve shown or exhibit to an elderly person in your locality or family? If you answer any of the above question in the affirmative, then this article is for you. On the other hand, if you answer any of these questions in a negative tone, this article is specifically for you.

There are various instances in the Qur’an and Bible where old age is mentioned. Islam and Christianity teaches us to treat elders with respect. Respecting our elders should be a courtesy ingrained in every one of us. Common grace and manners are to treat elders with dignity and respect. Sadly, these important dignities have been largely forgotten in today’s society and that why June 15 is declared as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. Agencies, organizations, communities, professionals and foundation like ours (OLD CARE NIG) around the world will observe World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. The national theme for this year’s observance is “Using the Past to Re-write the Future” and the nationally recognized color to represent elder abuse awareness is purple.
As a matter of fact the elderly population and disabled adults in our state and communities have the right to feel safe and to be treated with dignity and respect just the same way you and I want to feel safe and be respected. Unfortunately, this is not the case for every elderly individual and disabled adult in our state. Based upon reports from previous years,elderly individuals and disabled adults have been and are being abused, neglected and exploited in Nigeria every year.
Since age progresses, various medical issues happen, some of the particular known diseases usually are blood pressure, diabetes, heart failure issues, arthritis, cancer malignancy, joint pains, tuberculosis, as well as kidney infections. It is important to note that it just not disease that affects old age; there are various other issues that govern the downfall of the health of the old people. However, one of the main issues is the negligence from the younger generation. Old people need supervision, the laxity to understand the needs and worries of elders make them appear strangers to the younger generation, who later regard them as a burden. Old people are subject to abuse from family members over property dispute, some of them are even forced to sell their belongings and live in penury till death. Many of them are scared to express themselves or fear being humiliated by their loved ones.
You will agree with me that elders desire a life with good health, dignity, economic independence and finally a peaceful death. They long for care, love and affection. Understanding their needs and concerns, will ensure their good health. Lending an emotional support to the elders keep them jovial, which is inevitably the ideal way to live a healthy life.

To sum to up, even if an elder hearing or memory isn’t what it was in the past, our elders have great wisdom to impart, It’s one thing to read about Nigeria history, Nigeria heros and heroes, war time but it’s more engrossing to hear about it from someone with first-hand knowledge. Younger generations must learn the importance of respecting their elders and make time to listen and spend quality with them.#saynotoelderabuse# #actkindtowardsaseniorcitizen#
