'CULTURE, UNTOLD MAN'S HERITAGE'

From time immemorial, a backpack is hung on the back of every human. A backpack of nativity and ethnicity, colored by oneness.
This very backpack distinguishes a goat from a wolf, becomes thicker with many carriers, and stays idle with fewer carriers. In a more elucidatory angle, millions are identified by and with this backpack.
From a more convincing angle, this backpack is known as Culture.
The segregation of the parts of the world today is the aftermath of it.
- Culture, the unrealistic backpack of every human.
- It is no respecter of persons and no promoter of evil.
In Africa, this backpack has proven to be the progenitor of racial, social, and political dealings and in a nutshell, no life is beyond it.
- Theocracy had lent its eyes too into this backpack, and Racism waits to clean the backpack when it's dusty.
- There's so much anomaly in carrying this backpack, it shouldn't be hanged on one shoulder, it shouldn't be dragged by two persons, it shouldn't be placed on the dusty area, it shouldn't be too loaded for the carrier. Many of these are still discovered as the days go by.
The story of this backpack is a very very long one and it takes many to listen to the end.
- In the early days after much colonization, freedom gave birth and rise to this backpack, leaving the Africa body a predominant colony for its availability, and thus, it cannot easily be extinct in the soils of black negros.
- Getting down to pure reality, culture tells man's true self even before proper introduction. This is an indication that no one can ever fake himself and his culture so easily.
A person from Ijaw is known by his wits, in as much as all other tribes and ethnic groups. this is how it distinguishes a goat from a wolf as earlier said.
- From religion to politics, Africans derive so much delight in a culture that is far beyond what the natural eyes see, it is just beyond a delight, it's a heritage rather. An heritage which many clung to in their day-to-day lives. An heritage never to be toyed with. An heritage that has given rise to racism, genocide, nepotism, and xenophobia.
- In religion, each denomination enjoy their very own heritage, making the difference in the church administrations.
- In politics, each body enjoys theirs too, segregating the partisans from the nonchalant citizens, and so forth.
Good and bad, uncanny and despicable are the features of man's heritage, in as much as a backpack with two zips and three segments.
- Culture shouldn't be a watchdog to the lives of other ethnicities, it shouldn't be a cause of defiant enmity between individuals, it shouldn't be the food pot for nations disputes.
- It can be an armed stool for absolute oneness, a backpack of fairness and equity, a backpack of cleanliness and decency. Irrespective of the diversity, the faith should be in accordance and correspondent, and from there unity sets in and life becomes easier to live. It should be the very form of African heritage, the untold reality that would make a revolution in a more centralized sphere as Africa. It is all on the humans now!

Culture, Untold Man's Heritage!

WHY LIFE SEEMS IRRITATING...

Have you ever wondered why you sometimes feel so bored and things seems irritating?
Have you ever imagined why most people seem happier and satisfied than others?

You might think that life is so good to them than you, right?
We understand that life itself doesn't render us our expectations but rather what we bargained for...
Most people think that they can just meet all their desires and needs at ease...

One of the things that makes people feel life's as good as dead is because they have underused their talents and prevailing potentials in so many ways...

But a lot of people may ask "What is my talent and how can I develop it"?

A person's talent/potentials is what he or she is good at doing, and doing it perfectly or at ease...
E.g
• A person that cooks perfectly with or without being trained & without using a recipe could be considered a CHEF.
Talents is what makes people stand out in all spheres of life...To develop your talent, you need to discover it first and start working on it little by little.

If you're good at singing, you start training yourself and join music groups that deals mainly on your pattern of music.
If you're good at acting, you start grooming those skills and join movie production groups or academies.

Another thing that makes people feel life's not fair is that they haven't settle down to know their vision(s) that would elevate them.

A person's vision can be a determinant to his/her talent. Neglecting or ignoring your talent and pursuing vision is just like loading a faulty gun that might not aim and shoot well...
What TALENT and VISION is to a person's ambition and aspiration is what GASOLINE and ENGINE OIL is to a vehicle.

Just like saying; TALENT + VISION + INSPIRATION = A successful person.

To avoid sitting on the fence, while others feel satisfied and fulfilled, you need to recheck yourself to know if you've gone astray so as to go back on track, in other to prevent boredom and irritation...
