I would not completely be alienated from the fact that it is quite enigmatic to live a complain-free-life. But there are certain rules or guiding principles to help one live this kind of life.
A complaint is whenever you talk negatively about something or someone without proposing a solution to the problem.
Swearing and cursing count as “complaint qualifiers” and they are forbidden in these scenarios. Your quality of words often determines the quality of your thoughts.
Make the switch anytime you get flustered or annoyed, even if you don’t say it out loud. Self-control isn’t just about controlling your behaviour, but thoughts and emotions as well. If you don’t manage to stop yourself from complaining inside your head, make the switch.
The point is to stop getting worked up over nothing, not to just hide it from other people. If you start feeling annoyed, aim to immediately stop the thoughts from escalating and calm yourself down. Change your thoughts to “Okay, calm down. It’s not that important” and stop yourself from exploding (either internally or externally). If you manage to do this, do not make the switch.
In addition, once you see the possible need to complain, try to distract yourself. Do something that could ease you off mood to complain. It might be difficult to do, but, with continuous practise, one would gain mastery of not complaining.

Lol!
Complaining is very easy to do. See some reasons why people complain.
You Have To Talk About Negative Things To Solve Them
Analyzing an issue or criticizing bad behaviour in order to improve it is useful. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. What complaining implies is that there is no change as a result. It’s a negative talk for no purpose other than to talk negatively.
It always implies inaction. It doesn’t solve problems or change reality. It doesn’t provide solutions or life lessons to avoid the same problem in the future.
It simply places the blame on something and says “this sucks”. No shit, Sherlock. It’s easy to point fingers and blame everybody else for everything that’s wrong in the world. How about you try pointing that finger at yourself from time to time?
2. The World Can Be Negative And You Can’t Avoid It
Holy smokes, Batman. I’m the first guy who will agree with this and give you a high five.
However, what does that have to do with complaining? Yes, there will always be negative things in the world. This doesn’t mean you should talk about them all the time. You can just as easily say that there will always be positive things in the world and talk about them all the time. But you won’t, will you?
I’m not trying to say you should be deluded into always being positive and not recognizing when things are objectively shitty. I’m simply trying to say that, for the most part, the things you complain about on a daily basis are unimportant and you are better off simply letting them go. They literally don’t matter unless you make them matter.
Just take a look at my story from the beginning. It can be a meaningless incident or a “near-death experience”; it all depends on how I choose to interpret it. On one hand, shit happens and it’s not a big deal. On the other hand, I’m a poor victim who is the centre of attention and deserves praise and pity.
Which of these do you think makes you look better?
3. Everybody Needs To Vent Sometimes, It’s Just Blowing Off Steam
Venting is the same as complaining and, especially in moments like these, it does more harm than good. It may make you feel a bit better at the moment but, in the long-run, it has been shown to increase negative perception, make you angrier, more agitated, and likelier to focus on problems rather than solutions.
It forces you to relive that same event and spend more energy on it. It brings all of those negative emotions back every time you talk about them and makes you increasingly more negative in general. This, in turn, makes you actively look for things to complain about, even if you aren’t consciously aware of it.
After a while, this negativity becomes your default state of mind. You become a cynical and negative person who complains a lot, but never solves any problems.

Asthma is a chronic lung disease that occurs when the airways in the chest get narrower or become inflamed. Symptoms of asthma include coughing, difficulty breathing, and wheezing. There is no cure for asthma, so treatment involves managing the symptoms and preventing complications.
There is a growing interest in the use of medical marijuana to treat a range of health conditions, including asthma. But people who use marijuana, or cannabis usually do so through smoking. What does this mean for a person with asthma? Is there any other way to use marijuana, and can it help reduce the symptoms of asthma?
Studies have suggested that some of the components in marijuana may benefit people with asthma.
Medical marijuana can refer to the whole plant, or it can be an active ingredient of marijuana taken from the plant and turned into a medication. It is important to note the difference between recreational and medicinal uses of marijuana. Marijuana contains a range of active substances, known as cannabinoids. These include CBD and various types of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). THC is a psychoactive ingredient, but CBD is not. CBD does not have mind-altering properties. CBD, THC, and some other substances in marijuana appear to have various health benefits, including anti-inflammatory and anti-spasmodic properties. Research has found that THC can help suppress the immune system. This might help reduce symptoms that stem from autoimmune diseases, such as asthma. Since asthma is an allergy reaction, the immune system is over-reacting to something in the environment that is triggering the attack.
This is no yardstick to taking marijuana for recreational purpose, as using it without a medical practitioner’s description makes it harmful than perform the magic it could do

Immigration is one of the juices life has got in it. The wonderful feeling of people moving from place to place by every means of transportation is second to none. Nigeria is a blessed country with untapped and unutilized natural resources coupled with unfavourable government policy, which has waved a red flag to foreign investors.
There are several reasons for travelling out of the country, study, tourism, job opportunities, permanent relocation. I believe all other reasons are encapsulated in these. Whatever the reasons are, it is imperative one leave the nation following the legal and right path.
On the flip side, travelling outside the country has its cons and prone. We will try to focus on the positive side of it. They include
Improve communication and social skills: One of the good sides of travelling is the improved shift in the way we express ourselves in all facet of communication. Apart from the fact that it brings about a good alignment in language proficiency, it also affects the line of thinking.
Broaden the horizon: It is quite phenomenal how exposure to cutting edge technologies can ‘shapen’ one’s ideas and realities of life.
Self re-discovery: Getting exposed, as earlier said, helps you re-discover yourself in a more safe, comfortable and friendly environment. A lot of people wallow in self-delusion and cannot find their way out of it. Some need to be cut the slack on their self-delusion, as it is induced by parental upbringing and environment.
Quality Education: It is no news that life as a student in Nigeria could be miserable, as we deal with dilapidated infrastructures, poor teaching aids and “Not everyone is expected to pass the course” lecturers. On the other side of the world, it is a different ball game entirely. The facilities are world-class with success-oriented lecturers.
These are the few advantages of leaving the country to a “greener pasture”

A relationship is a contractual mutual agreement between two parties, with the sole aim of committing continuous, intentional and consistent decision to making it work. So many ambiguities surround how an ideal relationship should be run. It is imperative to know that relationships are relative and do not nor can ever have a clone.
Your relationship is strictly restricted to you and you alone. Two relationships can never be the same. This is more reason why we should not compare our relationships with others, leading us to be intimidated.
Back to the question, communication in a relationship is key and paramount in a relationship. I honestly feel neither guy nor lady should be laden with the responsibility of making the relationship work all alone. It is quite unfair when ladies think or assume they should get the calls and attention, leaving out the way the partner feels. I am not oblivious of the fact that ladies should be shown care and attention in whatsoever the relationship is. But, the communication, I affirm, must and always be mutual. It should not be one-sided. Both parties should get the hands-on deck and make the relationship work.
As much as the guy instigates the relationship, the lady, on the other hand, must show signs of responsibility by communicating back to the received communication. Everyone deserved to be reciprocated love to.
To you, my reader, do not be on the receiving side of care and attention. Courtesy demands you always respond to whatever gesture you get.

There is a saying that goes “Patience is a virtue. Possess it”. In a similar manner, it is a lifestyle. You can not get anything in life outside the jurisdiction of patience. Patience is simply the ability to be calm as a cow crossing the road.
Taking a cue from how patient cows cross the road, it is imperative we learn to be calm at all times. There would be reasons to always get agitated and tensed. Patience, regardless, is needed for one’s sanity.
When you choose to be impatient, you lose out on so many things. Impatience might lead you to lose your inner peace, deny you privileges and opportunities.
It is very easy and cheap to be impatient, but costly and intentional to be patient. We all need patience at every crossroad of our lives. Being patient does not in any way mean things would turn the way we want. Rather, it helps restores peace in our minds.

Nickelodeon is a very interesting channel on the cable network.
It shows a wide range of shows, from animations to family shows to school shows.
My favourites are SpongeBob SquarePants, iCarly, The Thundermans, Gameshakers, Sam and Cat, Henry Danger.
SpongeBob is a selfless sponge, he is so compassionate. SpongeBob could remove his eyes for anyone. SpongeBob is void of eyeservice, his personality is second to none. On the other hand, SpongeBob has Avery dumb best friend; Patrick. Patrick’s gullibility is second to none. That character does not live life, he only exists. Squidward, SpongeBob’s neighbour is the only mature character in the animation. He is a lover of music; the best clarinet player in Bikini bottom. There is also a Plankton and Mr Krabbs who always fight for who the best customer is in Bikini bottom.
All these characters have taught me to always render helping hands to friends, families and strangers, without expecting returns, never stop trying and making attempts to be successful in life.
iCarly is a TV show of high school students, it features majorly Carly, Sam, Spencer, Freddy and Gibby. Freddy is the technical personnel, Sam and Carly are the presenters of the show. I learned from these guys to stop at nothing but being the best.
The Thundermans is a show of a family with superpowers. They are six (6) in number, Hank (father), Barbara (Mother), Phoebe and Maximus (twin children), Billy, Nora and Chloe (Children). Phoebe is the mature one in the house, caring and could be imposing. But she is the coolest of them. Max, on the other hand, wants to be good at being a supervillain.
This twin, despite their altercations, love each other and would always have their backs. Regardless of Max’s evil plans, Phoebe always counteracts his plans and try to make him do good things.
Conclusively, there is the platitude that Nickelodeon is for children. Well, I stand to interrupt the narrative. Nickelodeon is for all and sundry.

Have you ever wondered why in football or sports in general there’s always a verbal discussion between opponents?
Take for instance, a match between a Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury would always involve throwing tantrums to agitate the mind. Same is applicable to football and other sports.
A quick fact is that the mind has a petabyte space for storing information.
The mind is the seat of being all individuals possess. This is the distinguishing factor humans have from all other creatures.
It’s processing speed, storage capacity, coordinating ability, transforming power…are all incomparable.
Have you ever wondered how you remember events of a century-old?
Wondered where the phrase “mind game” came from or why it was coined?
Before any match commences, the first thing to do before the game itself is to talk down your opponents by appealing fear-instilling words into their minds through their senses. Whoever wins a match is the one who has won in the game of the mind.
To be a loser, malnourish your mind. To be a winner do the opposite.
It is not enough to have a mind, which you obviously do. Instead, the onus lies on you to train your mind to be the best it can be. Mind you, there is no competition with a mind that’s alien to you. I meant, your mind should compete with itself to being a better version of its incumbent self.

This is a good question to answer.
Generally, electricity value chain across the globe is the same, the only difference is the names of the players of the utility.
Nigeria unbundled its electrical utility on November 1, 2013, to investors (Investors are set of companies or individuals that spend money to maintain and buy utilities-water, electricity, etc)
Back to the value chain.
The value chain of Electricity is divided into four (4) major groups
1. The Power Generators
2. The Power Transmitters
3. The Power Distributors
4. The Power Consumers
1. Power Generators
These are the group of technical guys that generate power from different sources, be it Hydro, Gas, Coal, Nuclear, Biomass…
Specifically, we have 6 power generating companies in Nigeria. These companies generate power/electricity from hydro and gas-fired plants. The popular ones are Egbin Thermal Station in Ikorodu, Lagos (Gas fired), Kainji Dam in Niger (Hydro station), Shiroro, AFAM, Olorunsogo…
The major challenge these players faced is shortage of gas supply and/or debts accrued from buying gas on credit from oil companies like Shell and the likes.
2. The Power Transmitters
Basically called Transmission Company, they are the ones that wheel the power/electricity generated to substations to be picked by distribution companies.
In Nigeria, they are TCN- Transmission Company of Nigeria. The problem they are faced with is rigid cables, lack of transformers, poor network system…these are technical terms that would take forever to explain.
3. The Power Distributors (DisCos-Distribution Companies)
As the name implies, they distribute power they get supplied with from the transmission company. In our case, TCN is solely responsible for supplying electricity to the distribution companies that eventually power your house.
We have 11 Distribution companies in Nigeria
Abuja Electricity Distribution Company
Benin Electricity Distribution Company
Eko Electricity Distribution Company
Enugu Electricity Distribution Company
Ibadan Electricity Distribution Company
Ikeja Electricity Distribution Company
Jos Electricity Distribution Company
Kaduna Electricity Distribution Company
Kano Electricity Distribution Company
Port Harcourt Electricity Distribution Company
Yola Electricity Distribution Company
They all have areas of coverage within the federation.
All these DisCos are not responsible for generating light, they only distribute what they have been supplied.
4. The Power Consumers
This comprises of you and me.
What I want you to know is, do not ascribe blame to your distribution company whenever you do not have light.
A lot of things happens at the background which the general public does not know.
