3 Things I observed from WhatsApp's Shutdown

Life indeed is an irony. We now live in a an era where we are connected to the whole world but disconnected from our immediate counterparts.

WhatsApp had a temporary shutdown yesterday and there was a lot of noise concerning it. Truth be told, I was also one of the people who feared losing my WhatsApp. I even considered going back to my abandoned 2go application aimply because I had been so attached to WhatsApp.

During the whole time WhatsApp was down,  here are 3 things I observed.

1. People had time to be creative
While reading the several post about WhatsApp shutdown,  I realized that so many people are talented and creative. They had the time to think in the right direction and to also compose something good. My facebook feed was flooded with lots of good stuffs and not the usual rubnish I read everyday.

2. The whole place was quiet
Truth be told, it was as if a curfew was declared throughout the shutdown period. Everywhere was as quiet as a graveyard. Those few hours of WhatsApp shutdown were the most quiet moments I had spent for a very long time. No one was threatening me to forward a message to people, no one disturbed my online presence with a very long post all in the name of socialization.

3. I had time for my physical life
I was able to send a very good text message after so long.  I was able to relate with people around me and not just the imaginary world. I was human for some hours.

FRIENDLY ENEMIES EVERYONE SHOULD AVOID

Image
Life on earth is all about associations. You are what you believe in or associate with. You are who you are today because of the things and people you once associated with. No man can survive without the other because our survival here on earth is dependent on each other. In our lives, there are quite some funny things which are enemies but appear as friends. These things give us false hopes and make us comfortable when we are supposed to be working. These friendly enemies are always there for us even we feel others have abandoned us. They are closer than even our real friends. These enemies are not humans but habits and associations which we must avoid like a plague if we really want to be great in life. Here are some of them friendly enemies in our lives. 1.       Success There is nothing as comforting and accommodating as success. It makes you feel fulfilled and satisfied. Success has a way of giving people false hopes because we feel we hav...

Ladies, Apart From Sex, What Else Can You Offer In A Relationship?

Image
Relationships are now losing there true meanings. People no longer understand what a relationship truly is or why they are in it in the first place. What even made it worse is how kids now regard it as their playground.  Relationships are great, they are nice and worth engaging in but when the two parties have no idea as to why or what trigger them into the relationship then they have succeeded in wasting each other's time and resources. Read my article on why do people date  Permit me to say, apart from sex and romance almost 80% of ladies don't have anything to offer in a relationship. Sex is not part of a relationship in the first place, it was not even supposed to be part of the agenda, it was not even supposed to be among the things to be offered in a relationship, it was just an act created for procreation.  A healthy relationship goes beyond holding hands, kissing like pigeons, romancing each other, engaging in activities together, it is all about sa...

4 THINGS WOMEN NEED TO STOP DOING

Image
Take this from me, women are wonderful. They are the only creatures on earth who are as complicated as their body system. They can be simple and at the same time complicated, can smile and at the same time cry. They are so confused about their choices that they can say no when they actually mean yes and say yes when they mean no, say no when they mean no, and say yes when they mean yes.   (Please read it again). Only a woman can find everything wrong with everything. She is so details oriented that she can tell you about every tiny little details, from how she woke up from her bed to how she walked through the streets, how many people told her she is beautiful and then how she opened the door to her office, how she had a bad day because the cleaners were very happy (am already feeling sleepy already). Despite being unique and nice, I have come to realize that women are the genesis of their own problems and have some habits they need to cut away from. Join me as I ta...
