How have your political views changed over time?

Only few understands the term service

I was always interested in the policies of the governments that were in power at the time because, as a young person, I was not just hopeful about my political beliefs but also about how I might best help to improve my society. My favourite subject in secondary school was government, which I found enjoyable. The foundations established by the big nations’ founding fathers piqued my curiosity much. their names’ inherent charm as well as their prior contributions. As a result, I intended to pursue foreign studies at university, but I had no idea that my goal would never come true. A legacy endures forever. As a child who strives for excellence, I attempted to comprehend the significance of government, the reasons for its structure, and why everyone must adhere to it. 

However, I became puzzled because the definitions and methods of practice contained in our study books and constitutions, as well as those espoused by political parties, are diametrically opposed. Especially when they say democracy is “government of, by, and for the people.” Since the government that advocates for human rights denies people their fundamental rights. Politicians that advocate for freedom of speech stifle activists. I became disinterested in politics. when government institutions operated against the people they were supposed to serve and society was unable to hold elected officials accountable for breaching the law. I lost interest in governance. My opinions could change, though, if our politicians realise that being a leader entails serving others and are held responsible for their mistakes, just like everyone else in that society.

Who are the biggest influences in your life?

Our indispensable nature

Life is designed in a way that we complement each other. No one is an island in reality. Life is mysterious; one may never know his/her influence until circumstances raise their head. However, in our superpowers, we still realise we are indispensable irrespective of our control and affluence. From childhood to fatherhood, I have had a series of influencers in my life; while some were out of circumstances and limited, though with huge impact, others are permanent like the rock of ages. From the onset, my family has been my bedrock, my parents in particular, because most traits I possess today wouldn’t be possible without them. To my siblings, whom I hold in high esteem, especially my immediate younger brother, who has always had my back in everything, I wouldn’t love them less in any way for their assistance whenever I reached out.

Like I have always said: life is what happens to us while we are busy with other things, and change is the only thing constant in life; As we develop and grow, we experience change both internally and externally; with change of environment comes new influence and affluence.

We suddenly realise that we no longer depend on our parents or siblings but friends, some of whom turned into family through character and affection. In that respect, I appreciate few friends who have withstood the length of time—those who have been a great source of help, relief, and understanding (Bob and Angie), whose advice and affection played a big role in my life. However, emerging into fatherhood brings yet another big influencers into my life. Unlike friends and relatives , my kids and wife impacts my everyday decisions and alter my way of life beyond my imagination.

Not everyone in life will have a positive impact on us; some people were meant to teach us lessons, test us, and others to strengthen us, and we should be grateful and appreciate life because just as we are influenced by others, in return we impact other people’s lives.noting the life cycle, which makes us all complacent in our commitments to one another even in our indispensable nature.

Are you a good judge of character?

Point when none face your direction

It’s ridiculous to think of myself as having the final say on the moral and mental traits that set other people apart, unless their behaviour is clearly and openly dubious at the moment. I think we should be able to judge people based on their motivations rather than their character. We may approach situations differently since we come from diverse origins, cultures, parenting styles, upbringings, and experiences, but our motivations should always come first. But before I criticise someone else’s approach, I should make sure that I am not guilty of the same behaviour or criticism.

However, nature has ways of teaching us about life’s morality and ethics, regardless of our upbringing, experiences, or backgrounds. As a result, we are able to distinguish between good and evil, or more accurately, good and bad, at a certain age. Regarding the subject of whether or not I am a good judge of character, it mostly depends on my own character—how I act, what I support, and what I oppose—all of which can have an impact on my judgement, opinions, and criticism of other people. In my opinion, the answer is yes. As long as everything remains constant, I am willing to be corrected if my assumptions or opinions are incorrect. Although I have no authority over other people’s behaviour, I can be suspicious of their motivations, which most times are not far-fetched by their actions.However, just like pointing a finger, make sure three others don’t face your direction when pointing one to another.

When are you most happy?

Reasons for my success .

Being in an emotional state of contentment and positivity is neither a destination nor a matter of time. I couldn’t recall when I associated my satisfaction with time rather than the goals of my actions. Feeling nice and optimistic is not a frequent state of mind among humans. Even when circumstances work against my goals, I question the reasons for my journey and compare its purpose against my pain. I strive to be happy by being in the present, which is challenging.

The pressure of success, combined with the fear of failure, saps our delight and deprives us of happiness. Like everyone else, I am happiest when my aims are met or when my strategy is carried out. Having stated that, we frequently forget that achievement, which leads to happiness, stems from difficult conditions, hardship, consistency, and challenges. Students find studying challenging, but passing exams offers delight, satisfaction, and fulfilment.

At this point in my life, after experiencing both achievements and setbacks, I’ve come to the realisation that the times I am happiest are when I persevere through difficult situations, knowing that my capacity to overcome obstacles is a sign of success. Because happiness just like success is not weak.

List your top 5 grocery store items.

Devoted customer

I take my meals seriously, so I am constantly involved when it comes to grocery. As long as I get positive outcomes from any product I buy or use, I am a devoted customer, but I also frequently test new things. I can spend decades buying from a certain brand while I’m grocery or clothes shopping until I find something better or they offer me reasons to discontinue. I find it hard to choose from the five top options since, although they are all for consumption and usage, they all have various purposes, tastes, and motivations for buying. My groceries cost hundreds, if not thousands, if I am financially stable.

However, I enjoy cereal and nuts for breakfast. From cashews and almonds to coconut flakes, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, and walnuts, I enjoy having them all in my cereal. Cereals are my top grocery pick every month. Milk is also crucial to my diet. I use it in almost every meal, from coffee to hot chocolate to tea, and especially for cereals, making it my second favourite grocery item. Carrots. The fact that I’ve eaten more carrots in my life than any other vegetable demonstrates how much I adore them, and they’re my third favourite grocery item.

Chicken is always included in my grocery list because it is my favourite protein for cooking. Making it one of the top four groceries on my list. Rice is unquestionably my favourite food, and I can’t imagine not eating it. The list goes on and on, but one of the most challenging issues I’ve had to answer this season has been how to compare these goods to others. Nonetheless, water, shampoo, toothpaste, body cream, air freshener, bread, fruits, vegetables, and a variety of other items are among my most commonly purchased and can’t be substituted for their roles and functions in my well-being. 

Is your life today what you pictured a year ago?

Waking up to their smiles

A year ago, I believed that I would be happier and more financially secure with my family right now. The truth is, after years of being a distant parent, I had always dreamed of becoming a wonderful father—even a better husband—to my children and family. Without my physical presence, I was really worried about how my wife and kids were developing. I felt that my immediate family bore the brunt of my search for a better life abroad because I came from a conventional home where parents and siblings were constantly there.

So I began making plans to reunite with them. Even though everyone experiences life. Every decision we make in life involves a sacrifice. Having enjoyed my freedom while married with children, I understand that merging with them entails even greater duties, and they are worth the sacrifices. We are finally united, but the truth is that while we may not be financially secure, waking up to their smiles every day, watching them grow, and making happy memories are pleasures that money cannot buy and that I hope every decent father never misses.

What cities do you want to visit?

Never be surprise

France’s Paris It’s one of the fantasy cities I want to visit and spend a few days in because I’ve heard so much about its romance and beauty. 

Another city on my list is Venice, Italy. I was fascinated by the city’s wonders, particularly the residences beneath water and boats that served as the only means of transit, after reading about it in the novel Merchant of Venice in secondary school.

Moscow, Russia… it’s a city I’d like to visit and experience for myself; the architecture, power structure, gastronomy, clothing code, and culture are all things I want to experience. 

 New York, United States, is another city I’d like to visit. I wish to experience the lifestyle of the world’s most populated city, where any dream is feasible. The tall buildings, various ethnicities, and manner of life draw me in.

Owerri. Nigeria is rich in Igbo traditions and culture, good food, hospitality, and friendliness. Despite it being where I was born and spent my early years, I have not had the opportunity to tour it as much as I would like. 

Abuja, Nigeria, is another place I’d like to visit to see the architecture and modernisation.So do not be surprised if you find me lurking in your neighbourhood; some day it may be among the cities on my list of places to visit.

Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

Attitude from personality 

I’m confident that if you’re one of those people who has a description of me, you’ll be intrigued to hear my thoughts on the daily prompt question. Though definitions of me vary and may depend on our relationship or point of contact, I may not fully disagree with your exact description of me. I agreed with the assertion that personality and attitude are not the same thing; personality defines who I am, whereas attitude is determined by who you are.

I’ve heard that a thousand times as a compliment from people I’ve had some sort of relationship with. Obviously clever, smart, courageous, and quiet. Practically, it is tough to write harsh words about oneself because one may not be in the best position to influence public opinion about oneself. Some think I am too serious, while others arrogant; nevertheless, it all depends on your attitude, because, like everyone else, I may have a false perception of someone that is not always accurate.

I don’t seek approval or fall for flattery, but I love compliments that come organically from kind people. As previously stated, presuming you are one of those who have an opinion about me, I hope this letter finds you well and that my perspective agrees with your argument; better still, you could be wrong just like anybody else.

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

Save yourself. 

I enjoy exercising both outside and indoors.Making exercise a part of your daily routine, regardless of your location or work, is critical for maintaining good health. It’s understandable that when we think of exercise, we often envision a gym or a fitness centre, which is not quite accurate.

Exercise, when made a habit and routine, may be done anywhere, including the bedroom. The treadmill, cycling, squatting , push-ups, planking, stretching, other cardio tips and Kegel exercises, combined with a little yoga, take my breath away and make me feel complete physically and mentally. Making time for fitness in your hectic schedules can aid in your recovery from depression and anxiety. Promote growth and increase strength. However, my children rarely allow me to train at home, so the majority of my exercising is done in the gym. Fitness is something that can’t be replaced because it’s a physical exercise that improves and sustains overall health. It can also be used to avoid injuries and limit the use of needless drugs.

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?

Just like the sun

Not putting any emotions or obligations on the actions of others in my daily life is one of the safest ways I can keep my inner peace. Regardless of the situation, I anticipate individuals to prioritise their own interests over those of others in a world full of vices and selfishness.

Even in situations when people are supposed to behave appropriately or adhere to procedures, I never let my guard down for fear of being disappointed . Like everyone else, I am not perfect, but there are basic behaviours that are expected of everyone at all times. I have been described as a hard-to-please or too serious person because of my own composure, therefore I hold myself to a high level and try my hardest to meet those expectations in others.

Kindness brightens just like the sun

However, in the midst of our exposure, I am often taken aback by some simple qualities and behaviours. I like and am drawn to persons that believe in themselves and are honest in their relationships with others. receptive to criticism; hard-working; and aspiring to greatness regardless of their life experiences, backgrounds, or humble beginnings. Nonetheless, those who are kind and consider other people’s interests as their own. In a world full of greed and horrible vices, humanity’s survival is dependent solely on people who are selfless, truthful, and compassionate. Such people Are like the sunshine. They brighten up our lives and make everywhere beautiful reason they inspire my admiration. .
