Flood In Lagos

As the saying goes " Lagos never sleeps".
Lagos is a place many Nigerians want to be, there is money to make, dreams to be achieved. It can also kill your dreams as well.
This is one of the very few states in Nigeria that without federal government allowances, she can still take care of her bills. But there is only one problem, FLOOD.
Flood is an overflow of water that submerges land that is usually dry. Hydrology study
During the rainy season, Lagos is not a place to be at all. Whereas you can post beautiful pictures during the dry seasons, enjoy cool comfortable beach huts, you can't say same during the rainy season.
 
Behind Lagos southern borders lies the Atlantic Ocean. 22% of its 3,577 km2 are lagoons and creeks.
Lekki, which is still a work in progress is also an affected area. Victoria Island which is the money generating area ( beaches, nightlife etc) is the most affected when it rains.
Flooding is very common in this areas. It is very bad when you lose property to this kind of natural disaster. Even China have kind of problems too.
Who do we blame for this kind of disaster?
How do we protect the little children from this disaster?
In Lekki and VI, if one is not a good swimmer, then you really need a life jacket to get you through. As you can't do without it.
Many have started blaming the government for not doing anything about the disaster. I want us to know that, in such situations like this, you only hope for the best outcome. If you think am supporting the government, you are wrong. Take a good look at places like Mongolia, Florida, New Orleans and Brazil, they all experience this same problem we have here.
 
All should say at this moment is that the Lagos and the federal government should just prepare to work, because, the rainy season has just begun and they have to do something to save lives.
I also want us to know that we should work together with the government to save our lives and environment.
If you are not living in Lagos or you are not living in the affected areas. Please I beg you to pray to Almighty God or Allah (according to your religion) to save the lives of those who live in Lagos State and in the affected areas.

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale

How to Rebuild Your Confidence After Failure by Kneelyo Akinbowale  Failure has a way of shaking the very foundation of our confidence. One moment, you believe in yourself; the next, doubt creeps in, whispering that you are not good enough, not smart enough, or not destined to succeed. But here is the truth many people never tell you: failure does not destroy confidence—how you interpret failure does. If you have failed recently, this is not the end of your story. It is the beginning of a wiser, stronger chapter. Understand That Failure Is Not Your Identity One of the most dangerous mistakes people make after failing is allowing the failure to define who they are. You didn’t fail because you are a failure. You failed because you tried. Every successful person you admire today has failed in one way or another. The difference is that they refused to turn a moment into a permanent label. Separate what happened from who you are. Your worth is not measured by one outcome. Al...

Growth Is Painful, But Stagnation Is Worse by Kneelyo Akinbowale

Growth is not a comfortable journey. It stretches you, challenges your beliefs, exposes your weaknesses, and forces you to confront versions of yourself you would rather ignore. Many people avoid growth not because they don’t desire progress, but because they fear the pain that often comes with it. But here is the truth many don’t like to face: while growth is painful, stagnation is far more dangerous. The Pain That Comes With Growth Growth demands change, and change rarely feels good at first. It may require you to leave familiar environments, let go of relationships that no longer serve your purpose, or unlearn habits that once kept you comfortable but now keep you stuck. Pain in growth shows up as: • Fear of the unknown • Temporary failure and embarrassment • Discipline over comfort • Sacrificing immediate pleasure for long- term fulfillment. This pain, however, has a purpose. It is the pain of becoming—of building strength, wisdom, and character. Just like muscles grow...

Growth Mindset vs Fixed Mindset: The Battle That Shapes Your Future by Kneelyo Akinbowale.

In life, success is not controlled by talent alone, background, or even opportunity. More often than not, it is controlled by how we think. The mindset you adopt determines how you respond to challenges, failure, criticism, and growth. Two dominant mindsets shape human behavior: the Fixed Mindset and the Growth Mindset. Understanding the difference between these two can change the direction of your life. What Is a Fixed Mindset? A fixed mindset is the belief that intelligence, talent, and abilities are permanent traits. People with this mindset believe they are either “good at something” or “not good at it,” and nothing can change that. Characteristics of a Fixed Mindset: • Fear of failure • Avoiding challenges • Giving up easily • Feeling threatened by other people’s   success • Taking criticism personally • Believing talent alone leads to success Someone with a fixed mindset might say: •“This is just who I am.” •“I’m not smart enough for that.” •“I’ve tried befor...
