End SARS ( SWAT) Now

  End SARS     Now & reform the Nigerian police ! The endless killings and harassments of Nigerian youths by the police and its subsidiaries,    which on countless occasions has fallen on the deaf ears of our “supposed leaders” —— has led to this    massive global protest.    Nigerians have kept quiet for far too long. We whisper amongst ourselves the sufferings we have to endure as citizens. Since it’s business as usual, we crack jokes about our plight —— because that’s how we stay sane in the midst of the chaos. Nigerians have kept quiet for far too long. Despite six months or more of held salaries and under-payment of workers for that matter.  Nigerians have kept quiet for far too long.  Despite no access to BASIC social amenities like good roads, steady power supply, water, basic infrastructures and good healthcare system.  Nigerians have kept quiet for far too long.  Despite our “supposed leaders” looting our money, bettering their lives while calling hardworking Nigerian yout

Domestic Violence (Skinny Girl in Transit S6E10 - It's Complicated)

Image
  One thing that isn’t so complicated in this episode, is the fact that Kwame is an abuser. I hope Shalewa sees the “writings on the wall” before she gets in too deep. This is one of the reasons I love Skinny Girl in Transit [SGIT]; it depicts common and realistic human behaviors. In a way, creating awareness on issues that people don’t fully understand. Getting back to my main point, domestic violence. It is very much present in a lot of relationships. According to  USATODAY , domestic violence in United States, happens every 15 seconds with four women losing their lives daily on average. In a recent post,  NBCChicago , stated that Chicago’s hotline received the highest daily volume on March 30th, 2020, with 104 calls. This, it attributed to the stay-at- home order caused by the pandemic. Wow! just wow. Saddening, but very much true.  Worldbank , pointed that 35% of women worldwide have experienced some form of violence in their lives. Yeah, I know what you are going to say next.

You are More Than One thing

           " H ow will you describe yourself in one word?" This is a tough question, especially for those that view themselves as many things. It's easier for society to identify a person as being one thing than to identify that person as more than one. Simply put, it is easier. In reality, putting someone in a box is not ideal. Everyone has different aspects to them. For instance, your mom is your mom and in most cases, she's also a wife, a sister, a daughter, a friend, a best friend,  an aunt, a grandmother, a stranger, a nurse, or a doctor or an artist; whichever the case may be.      Her role as a mom is totally different from her role as an aunt or her role as a sister. So, it will be totally wrong to see her as one thing when she's these other things. In that sense, the way she is as a mother will totally be different from when she is being a daughter or when she is in her place of work.  Fear of being criticized makes people succumb to the idea o

[Case Study ]: Forearm Cellulitis at the Arteriovenous Fistula site.

Image
Forearm Cellulitis According to Stolic (2012), 20% of all arteriovenous fistula (AVF) complications are infections. These infections which usually manifest as edema and erythema can be easily treated.   This indicates the need for an increased awareness about AVF complications and ways to prevent them. This paper will focus on infection as a complication of AVF and the typical diseases that can make a patient get an AVF. Basic Conditioning Factors   The patient  is a male.  His current diagnosis were AV shunt forearm cellulitis, end stage kidney disease, and diabetes.  He has a past medical history of stroke, hypertension (HTN), diabetes mellitus (DM), methicillin-resistance staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), end-stage renal disease (ESRD), pseudoaneurysm of arteriovenous fistula (AVF).  In Ericks Erickson’s stages of psychological development, (Leifer & Fleck, 2013) state that the patient  falls into the generativity versus stagnation stage.

Skinny Girl in Transit S5E1 : RING

For all Skinny Girl in Transit Lovers. aka SGIT. Season five is out! yay! that's not the best part. The best part is, this episode is forty-three minutes long! WOW Mide re-proposed to Tiwa, and I must say it was a cute magical proposal. I have this gut feeling that something big is going to happen in the next episode. In this episode, we see Mide's sister, ( gosh! I totally forgot her name) being extremely rude to this cute guy. Plot twist, we might find out he is some big shot, and she needs him for a project. Then she falls madly in love with him. hahaha. Secondly, Tiwa's dad was so weird towards the whole wedding thing. Maybe he is just being a dad, or it's a reflection of what is to happen in the future. I don't know.

Falz - This Is Nigeria

Image
      First off, this video is dope. It is dope because it addresses the key issues currently happening in Nigeria. #EndSars, corrupt politicians, bribery, fake prophets, yahoo-yahoo, incompetent and unqualified office leaders and office holders.        I don't want to shake any table, but some supposed president of Nigeria, by name ... sorry, as a lazy Nigerian, I can't remember the name. yeah, some supposed president claims he is the most hard-working individual. Mr president these are the issues you are supposed to be addressing. But no, you are more focused on calling hard-working youths "Lazy." well-done sir. Anywho, enjoy the video, and don't worry your beautiful brains about Falz copying Childish Gambino. This is art, and in the art world, people recreate other peoples art. It is also called inspiration. As long as credit is given to whom credit is due.
