Displaced and seeking refuge

Last Saturday was an experience that left me grateful for the things in my life which I have often taken for granted.

Am sure most of the people who have been displaced by the floods in different parts of Nigeria, never thought they would ever have to flee their homes and depend on charity for things as little as drinking water, not to talk of food or having to camp in the classrooms of government primary schools.

I joined the WESEI team - an NGO as we set out for some of the relief camps in rivers state, to support and encourage some of the victims displaced by the floods...

All set and ready to leave for ahoada


So we took off , a team of 10 persons and some supplies, but nothing prepared me for the destruction I saw, houses covered in water, farmlands and crops totally destroyed.  More pics

The Day of the Girl

Hello people..

I feel like I have to re introduce myself, well am Iphie , and growing up for me was spectacular.

I had education and parents who made me believe in my self and want to be the greatest. 

Today, I am happy, I still hunger for more , but am confident in my place , in my vision and goals.

As the years go by , what I had  , has become just basics, Parents all over the world are offering their children so much more, raising girls who are focused and confident.

Today is the International Day of the Girl a day which promotes girl rights and highlights gender inequalities that remain between boys and girls.

Ironically this comes a few days after a 14 year old Pakistani girl Malala Yousufza was shot and wounded by Taliban's for being an advocate for girl child education.

Malala Yousufza

Time after time...

Hi guys......

Its so dusty *coughs* been months since I've been in here.
 There's so much I want tell you about and I will.

A lot has happened since I last came here lots of good stuff and sadly some bad.
Portharcourt Nigeria has been "cloudy".

I remember I was at the office when the rumours of the killings started filtering in, saw some of the gruesome pictures and that was it.

And if like me you have refused to see more gruesome pictures and that video, its ok.
So we raise our voices and speak up for justice and also pray for the souls of Ugonna, Lloyd, Tekena and Chidiaka who were brutally murdered by an irate crowd in aluu, Rivers state.

This incidence has unified young people in Nigeria in a way we never thought possible. We have tweeted , pinged, sang, talked about it on radio, sent text messages and made phone calls. The tragedy has formed the basis of most discussions among friends, colleagues and even strangers.

So we take from it that somehow we are all connected, we feel as though our brothers were murdered, so lets feel that way among those living too. Look around you, who needs you and who can you reach out to and help?

Let the cloud roll away and let the sunshine come.

ZOOM in and FOCUS

I had an amazing time on the show today, talked about common distractions and how they can affect our life especially our productivity.

 And guess what, it feels like as the years go by the list of distractions are getting longer, think about it just not knowing when to drop your blackberry can make you flunk a test, not meet a project deadline or even go late to work.

 So i said the listeners could send in text messages and tell me what their major distractions were and here's a few of the most mentioned points .

                     

 Television

 Mobile phones

 Friends 

Relationships

Women

Now it's really annoying no one said Men.. trust me they can distract too. Lol

 But when it comes to the television matter,i used to be a big culprit, Iphie was the girl that could reschedule an appointment just to watch something on TV smh*

 In vivid colours i remember writing the last chapter of my uni project late into the midnight in front of the TV during the ad breaks of the MTV Europe music video awards.

 I had a deadline with my supervisor, but then 2face had been nominated for the best African act and trust me his winning is not the kind of news you want to hear from a third party. Lol, i had to watch it LIVE!.

But lets say 'i've grown up since then,and my eyes opened up since then'(in Kano's voice).
If TV is a big distraction for you, here's an "Iphie Tip" that works every time...

Take a few seconds and remind your self that the actress in that nollywood movie you are seeing is done with the shooting and is chilling at home probably sipping champagne with some six digit figure cooling in her bank account, oh and guess what she flew her family to Paris for her wedding and probably has an interview with CNN later in the day, if that doesn't inspire you to switch off the TV and concentrate ...... erm then we'll have to schedule a deliverance service Lol

 Relationships especially where there's a problem can also affect your focus, there's no shortcut to that one , just switch off your phone and get busy, when you are done, things could get better or not *sad face*

And for the guy who sent a text to say girls love him so much and it's affecting his life and relationship, just remember "NO" is a two letter word and those who said it have not died.

 If you've never tuned in, it's rhythm and soul on  rhythm 93.7Port Harcourt.(weekdays 10am to 12pm)
