• *Cognitive Biases*

    💁🏻‍♀️ *Master Them Before They Master You!* 🫵🏻

    *Confirmation Bias:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We seek information that confirms existing beliefs, and ignore contrary evidence.

    *Example:* Only following news sources you agree with.

    *Fix:* Actively seek opposing viewpoints; before decisions, assign a "devil's advocate"

    *Sunk Cost Fallacy:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We keep investing because we already have, even when it's not rational.

    *Example:* A company pours money into a failing product because they've already invested.

    *Fix:* Ask, "If I were starting today, would I still invest?"

    *Halo Effect:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ Our impression of one trait impacts how we see unrelated ones.

    *Example:* A well-dressed candidate is assumed to be more competent.

    *Fix:* Seek evidence, not reputation, appearance, or confidence.

    *Recency Bias:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ Recent events have a stronger influence on decisions.

    *Example:* A manager rates an employee based on their last two weeks, ignoring consistent performance all year.

    *Fix:* Pull back and look long-term.

    *Optimism Bias:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We believe we're less likely to experience negative outcomes.

    *Example:* Founders assume their business won't fail, even though most do.

    *Fix:* Consider worst-case scenarios before making big decisions.

    *Anchoring Bias:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We rely too heavily on the first piece of information we receive.

    *Example:* A job candidate struggles to negotiate upward from a lowball offer.

    *Fix:* Don't accept an initial value as your reference point - find independent sources.

    *Self-Serving Bias:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We take credit for successes but blame external factors for failures.

    *Example:* A manager takes credit for a project's success but blames the team if it fails.

    *Fix:* Force yourself to own mistakes, not just successes.

    *Negativity Bias:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We give more weight to negative experiences than positive ones.

    *Example:* An employee gets 10 positive comments and I negative, but only remembers the latter

    *Fix:* Keep a list of past successes to balance your perception.

    *Availability Heuristic:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We judge the likelihood of events based on how easily examples come to mind

    *Example:* Avoiding flying after seeing a plane crash in the news

    *Fix:* If you're using anecdotes, ask: "Is this actually common, or just memorable?""

    *Dunning-Kruger Effect:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ Incompetent people overestimate abilities, experts underestimate

    *Example:* Attempting to rewire your house after watching one YouTube video house

    *Fix:* If you're a confident novice, assume you're overestimating and get feedback

    *Framing Effect:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ The way information is presented influences our decisions

    *Example:* "90% fat-free" sounds healthier than "10% fat"

    *Fix:* Ask, "Would I feel different if this was worded another way?"

    *Bandwagon Effect:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We adopt beliefs or behaviors just because others do.

    *Example:* Consumers rush to buy a trendy item without considering if they actually like it.

    *Fix:* Ask, "Would I still believe this if no one else did?"

    *Endowment Effect:*

    💁🏻‍♀️ We overvalue things just because we own them.

    *Example:* A person believes their car is worth more than market value just because it's theirs

    *Fix:* Ask, "Would I pay this much for it if I didn't already own it?"

  • Title: My Arranged Marriage
    Episode 1: The Day My Bride Brought Her Ex to Our Wedding

    I always knew my family was chaotic, but I didn’t know they were diabolical until the day I walked into my own wedding and nearly fainted. Not because of cold feet — but because the bride, the woman I was supposed to marry, was sitting on the stage laughing with her ex-boyfriend, whom she brought along like a plus-one.

    Yes, her ex. To our wedding.

    Let me start from the beginning.

    It began two months ago when Mama burst into my room like a hurricane dressed in Ankara and holy anointing.
    "Obinna, your bachelorhood is a spiritual attack!"
    She clutched her Bible and her phone, scrolling through WhatsApp pictures of potential wives like it was Tinder for African mothers.

    I was 29, a civil engineer in Lagos, and deeply single—not because I couldn't find love, but because the last girl I loved used my rent money to buy a Brazilian wig and disappeared with a sugar daddy who sold building materials.

    So, when Mama insisted on arranging a marriage, I laughed. Until Papa added his voice.
    “If you don’t marry before July, forget your inheritance. We will donate your land to the church!”

    July was two months away.

    That was how I met Amaka.
    Photos first. Then video calls. She was pretty. Soft-spoken. From Enugu. A nurse. And, according to her mother, a virgin. (My cousin Ugochi whispered, “Aunty, check that thing well. These days, even calculators reset.”)

    I agreed to meet her. She smiled, giggled, and spoke gently. But something felt... rehearsed. Like she was playing a role.

    Still, the wedding date was fixed. Invitations printed. Cow bought. Church booked. DJ paid. Mama danced every night to Flavour’s songs as if the wedding was her own.

    And then the big day came.

    The hall glittered with decorations. Guests arrived in gele and agbada. My friends teased me “Obinna, you go finally chop life!”

    Then I saw her. Amaka. Dressed in white. Gorgeous. Smiling. Until I noticed the man sitting beside her, whispering in her ear and holding her hand.

    I frowned.
    “Who is that?” I asked my brother.

    My brother squinted. “I think he came with the bride.”

    “Came with the"

    Before I could finish, Mama appeared beside me, all smiles and sweat. “You look handsome, my son. Now go and smile at your bride.”

    “I will smile after I know who that guy is.”

    Mama hissed and walked off.

    So, I marched up to Amaka, heart racing. “Who is this?”

    She blinked, calm. “Oh! Meet Chuka. My best friend. He’s like… family.”

    Chuka stood, extended his hand, smiling like a goat that just chewed your exam script. “Nice to meet you, bro.”

    Bro?

    I ignored his hand. “Can we talk privately?”

    Amaka sighed, dragged me aside, and said the thing that nearly made me remove my agbada and run home in boxers.

    “I invited him because... well... he’s important to me. We dated for six years. He’s the one who taught me how to love. But my parents didn’t approve. So I had to settle for this... arrangement.”

    I stood still, blinking.
    “Settle?”

    “Yes,” she said. “But you’re kind. You’ll understand.”

    Ladies and gentlemen, I did not understand.

    My uncle, who saw me shaking like a leaf, whispered, “Is it heartbreak or hunger? Should we bring you small jollof rice to calm your nerves?”

    I wanted to run, but the hall was full, the gifts were stacked, and the caterers were serving. A pastor was waiting. A crowd was watching.

    Then I remembered what my grandmother once said:
    “If you must embarrass the devil, do it with boldness.”

    So, I climbed the stage, grabbed the mic, and said:
    “Ladies and gentlemen, I want to thank you all for coming. But I just found out that I am not the main actor in this wedding. I am an extra.”

    Gasps.

    Chuka choked on his zobo. Amaka’s face turned pale. Mama tried to grab the mic, but I raised my hand dramatically.

    “This wedding is cancelled. But don’t worry there’s plenty of food. Eat, drink, and take selfies. Just know that Obinna has left the chat!”

    I walked out, head high, heart free. That night, I ate the wedding jollof alone in my boxers and watched Nollywood movies till 2 a.m.

    A week later, I met Adaeze, my neighbor who had always lent me pepper without asking for it back. She knocked on my door with a plate of hot rice and a smile.

    And guess what?

  • Real Reasons why Muammar Gaddafi was killed 

    1. Libya had no electricity bills, electricity came free of charge to all citizens.

    10. Libya had no external debt, and reserves were $150 Billion (now frozen worldwide)

  • Dangerfield Newby is the actual man on which the movie D’Jango Unchained is loosely based.

    He was a member of the John Brown raiders. He joined the gang to save his wife, Harriet and children from slavery.

    —Dangerfield Newby (1815 – October 17, 1859) was the oldest of John Brown's raiders, one of five black raiders, and the first of his men to die at Harpers Ferry, Virginia.

    Born into slavery in Fauquier County, Virginia, Newby married a woman also enslaved. Newby's father was Henry Newby, a landowner in Fauquier County. His mother was Elsey Newby, who was a slave, owned not by Henry, but by a neighbor, John Fox. Elsey and Henry lived together for many years and had several children, although interracial marriage was illegal in Virginia. Dangerfield was their first child. Dangerfield Newby, his mother and his siblings were later freed by his father when he moved them across the Ohio River into Bridgeport, Ohio. John Fox, who died in 1859, apparently did not attempt to retrieve Elsey, Dangerfield, or any of his siblings. Dangerfield's wife and their seven children remained in bondage. A letter found on his body revealed some of his motivation for joining John Brown and the raid on Harpers Ferry.

    Dangerfield Newby's wife, Harriet Newby, was the slave of Jesse Jennings, of Arlington or Warrenton, Virginia. Newby had been unable to purchase the freedom of his wife and seven children. Their master raised the price after Newby had saved the $1,500 that had previously been agreed on. Because all of Newby's other efforts had failed he hoped to free them by force. Harriet's poignant letters, found on his body, proved instrumental in advancing the abolitionist cause. Newby was six foot two.

    On October 17, 1859, the citizens of Harpers Ferry set to put down the raid. Harpers Ferry manufactured guns but the citizens had little ammunition, so during the assault on the raiders they fired anything they could fit into a gun barrel. One man was shooting six inch spikes from his rifle, one of which struck Newby in the throat, killing him instantly. After the raid, the people of Harpers Ferry took his body, stabbed it repeatedly, and amputated his limbs. His body was left in an alley to be eaten by hogs. In 1899 the remains of Newby-plus remains of nine other raiders-were reburied in a common grave near the body of John Brown in North Elba, New York.

    Dangerfield Newby's wife, Harriet and her children were sold to a Louisiana slave owner after the raid.

  • Nigeria's Cry for Help
    In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
    A nation cries, in desperation's sway,
    Nigeria's heartbeat, strong and free,
    Yet bound by chains, of poverty.

    From Lagos' streets, to Kano's ground,
    A people's plea, echoes all around,
    Of leaders failing, to lead the way,
    Of citizens suffering, night and day.

    The cry for help, a desperate call,
    For justice, equality, and freedom's fall,
    From corruption's grip, that holds so tight,
    From poverty's grasp, that chokes the light.

    The youth, a force, with energy and might,
    Yearning for change, and a brighter light,
    But opportunities scarce, and hope dwindles fast,
    Leaving many lost, in a future aghast.

    The economy falters, and growth is slow,
    The people suffer, as the system goes low,
    The infrastructure crumbles, and roads decay,
    The future uncertain, in a nation astray.

    But still we cry, for a better day,
    For leaders who care, and a brighter way,
    For a Nigeria, where all can thrive,
    Where justice reigns, and freedom survives.

    The cry for help, a nation's plea,
    For a future bright, and a destiny free,
    Let us unite, and work as one,
    To build a Nigeria, where all are won.

  • Tears for Africa
    In twilight's hush, where shadows play,
    A continent's cry echoes through the day,
    Africa's heartbeat, strong and free,
    Yet bound by chains of poverty.

    From Sahara's sands to Cape's green shore,
    A story unfolds, of struggle and more,
    Of nations rising, of dreams unfulfilled,
    Of potential waiting, yet unskilled.

    In cities bustling, where lights ablaze,
    A different tale of Africa's gaze,
    Of progress made, of hope anew,
    Yet whispers of despair, in every hue.

    The drums of tradition, beat strong and free,
    A heritage rich, of history,
    Yet modernity's tide, brings change and strife,
    A balance sought, between past and life.

    The tears fall hard, for all unseen,
    For futures bright, yet unclean,
    For opportunities, lost and rare,
    For potential squandered, beyond repair.

    But still we hold, on to hope's thin thread,
    A glimmer of a brighter future spread,
    Of leaders rising, with vision grand,
    Of people uniting, hand in hand.

    The African dream, of unity and might,
    A future shining, where all take flight,
    Where children learn, and grow with glee,
    Where women thrive, and equality,
    Where men and women, in peace entwine,
    And Africa's story, is one divine.

    The tears we shed, are not in vain,
    For in our sorrow, a change will reign,
    A new dawn breaks, with promise true,
    For Africa's future, anew.

    Let us stand tall, and claim our right,
    To shape our destiny, and shine with all our might,
    Let us unite, and work as one,
    To build a brighter future, for everyone.

    In Africa's heart, a fire burns bright,
    A flame of hope, that guides through the night,
    A beacon of light, that shines so bold,
    A symbol of strength, that never grows old.

    The tears for Africa, will dry with time,
    As progress made, and hope entwine,
    A brighter future, will soon unfold,
    For Africa's children, young and old.

  • Russia's Foreign Minister  Sergei Lavrov in 2023 stated that for Africa to truly free itself from neocolonialism and imperialism, the continent must have a permanent seat on the UN Security Council—where major global decisions are made.

    Furthermore, the African nation holding that seat should also possess and host a nuclear power program to safeguard the continent's voice on the international stage. According to the minister, this represents Russia's position, and "we will see what the future holds."
