Down time for Nigeria...Lend a helping hand, show some kindness

Nigeria is going through a recession now. This is the time to help someone out! Things are rough for a lot of people, even the ones one may think are rich or doing well. If you can help someone please do.

This is the time to help your gateman pay a child or all his childrens school fees. This is the time to give him some food items - rice, garri, yam, beans, plantain etc. This also goes for your maid, give her some transport money if she/ he isn't a live-in. Increase your domestic staff's salary.

If you have unlimited data, share your WiFi with your neighbours.

Buy that colleague lunch. He or she is probably not dieting, they just can't afford it. Give some colleagues a lift even if to a certain point.

Buy your friend petrol for his or her car and or generator. He's not walking because he wants to exercise.

Give that Uncle or Auntie N10k, they're probably in dire circumstances hence they're ringing off your phone.

Patronise farmers if you can. It's cheaper to get your goods from them. Eat more greens - they're cheaper. In fact become a vegan if you can.

Don't go to people's houses expecting to be fed. It's rude and times are hard. Be thankful if they feed you, it's not easy for anyone.

Give out you and your kids old clothes and shoes to people who truly needs them.

Pay an undergraduate's school fees. Recommend a good graduate if you know of a job opening. That may be the only way he or she can feed their parents and siblings.

Pay someone's NEPA bill. Let neighbours fetch water from you if you have a borehole.
Feed a homeless child or person. Offer them domestic work. You never know who you're helping. That might be the next Einstein. Pay someone's hospital bill, it could be life or death. You could literally be saving a life.

In June this year someone went to the market with N20, 000. 00 and returned home angry, confused and despondent. That one could barely afford a decent week's shopping...It's worse now!

We all know how prices double this season. Some families may not have food, FEED A FAMILY. Invite them over. People won't tell you what they're going through so be sensitive and see through the facade.

If you are in he diaspora and can spare some change for poorer family members please send it, it's no joke. Folks can barely feed daily.

There are so many little things that can be done, please search your heart and be creative to come up with other ways you can give. Families are hungry, angry and tired. Leave the government, we are the welfare system in Nigeria.

None of these are compulsory please. It's just a way to help each other out. Do what you can. If you're already doing any of these and can afford to then well done, if you can do more please do. Keep being kind. The law of giving never ever fails, believe it or not! Show love to someone today....MERRY XMAS

JOURNAL OF A JOURNALIST NEXT DOOR ... September 27th, 2024... Calm before the Storm!

Friday was one of those rare, calm days in my world of Corporate Communications. It’s not often that I get a day with fewer meetings, but when it happens, I know it’s the perfect opportunity to catch up on all the news stories waiting to be polished and published. With the university’s biggest event just around the corner, this quiet felt like the calm before the storm. The first half of the day was spent at my desk, immersed in edits. It’s funny how even on a less busy day, the work piles up in different forms. A colleague sent over a draft press release that needed sharpening, while another forwarded an article that just didn’t have the right tone yet. The joy, though, is in refining those pieces—finding the right words that will capture the essence of the university's achievements. As the minutes rolled by, I ticked off one task after another, sipping soda and enjoying the steady hum of a day. In the back of my mind, I knew this won’t last long—the preparations for the upcomi...
