As We Grow Up



As we grow up, we learn a lot, see a lot, feel a lot, and we leave a lot. This take I to when I was small when mummy said don’t eat in a stranger house but this days I eat in my friend house mostly those we’ve been together in school. But why? Those that means I disobey my parent? Does that mean I was not brought up well? Well, I was brought up in a wonderful home that has this big quote and its works then and still working which is ‘teach a child how to fear he learn how to hate teach a child how to love he learn how to respect’ dad and mum is good in this and they use it on us and till today I love them and really respect them ‘My Greatest Man and Woman’
This I will come and tell you that is true as we grow up so many things change but that and mum was putting us through the rudiment of life bases. Telling us not to eat in a stranger place then was all about telling us not to be covetousness, which was the best way to programmed child just for the best of the child, all this build us and give us a wonderful fore sight about who will are, I love you dad and mum, life is absolutely incomplete without you as I grow up
     Sometime I wonder what wrong to the hoodlums, thugs, rift rat, armed robbers, etc. Should we blame the parent or whose to be blame? Some blames the environment, some the parent why other blame the convict. But who is to be really blame?
     If we blame the environment for our predicament which to an observer the environment worth taking the blame but John F Kennedy said and I quote ‘ Don’t wait for what your country can do for you but what you can do for the environment’ so to me I will take the environment away from anybody predicament. The environment has been and will continue to be forever not satisfactory, because the environment is all about life and life will never give us everything we want. We are human with unlimited want as we grow up
    Some say my parent put me through the mess but the question is even 2 years old kids know food from excrete which implies everybody in one or the other knows what right or not, what is legal and illegal. So even if mama and papa put me to that illegal road by 18 I should have known what is right from wrong. The Yoruba adage says ‘bi won ba bini a tun ara eni bi ni’ is true we learn more than 70% of our life from our parent but there are some that has seen that the life of their does not worth emulating and they make a change so why don’t you? So don’t blame the parent for your life because it’s your life as we grow up
     I come with a full time that take it. Take, the blame because is the beginning of correcting your ways. If you blame the environment or your parent who suffer the consequences? You! Who finally have the pain to live with? You every return of what you sow is going to be for you, and if you keep blaming the environment or parent, you won’t stand up to face the world again you will die blaming the environment and people, waiting for the environment and people to come and fix it for you. But the moment you can start blaming yourself the moment you making for a wind of change. The moment you are moving toward your greatness. As we grow up

The  coronavirus  has officially been declared a “pandemic” by the World Health Organization (WHO). What that means is that it is spreading widely in the world, and countries should increase their efforts to address the situation. Outbreak, epidemic, or pandemic: what is the difference? When talking about a disease, these terms can be confusing. An “ outbreak ” is an increase in the number of people who have a certain disease in a community, or geographic area.

It often occurs with a new strain of a virus, like this novel coronavirus. When will the coronavirus outbreak end? The current outbreak of coronavirus will end with a vaccine or something known as " herd immunity ." Herd immunity, or community immunity, is when a high percentage of the community becomes immune ...
