Aduragbemi’s laudable feats and works at such a young age have received nationwide recognition with publishing houses such as Punch, This Day and The Guardian topping the list in Nigeria.
1. New Cheese: One Girl’s Brave Journey Through Uncertain Change to a Fulfilling Future
New Cheese set in Nigeria, Africa is a true-life story of a young girl’s brave journey into the unknown. Here, she shares the personal story of the mountain she climbed to encourage everyone who needs to start afresh, overcome restraints and adapt to change.
Cheese is a metaphor for anything desirable in life, a good job, ambition, education, goal, money, relationship, health or possession.
This book is a must read for everyone, their ages notwithstanding as it will spur you to notice the little changes around you, embrace a different perspective to every area of your life and move your cheese in the right direction.
2. KIND: A Novel.
Tonia lost her power of speech when her only guardian was hit by a stray bullet during the unrest that ensued after the protest against police brutality in Nigeria. She is engaged and set to marry the love of her life, Fred who insisted on marrying her despite oppositions from his family.
On the day both families were to be introduced, her hostile father-in-law to be was discovered to be her biological father.
Coming to the stark reality that she was fostered by those she knew all her life to be her family and also that the very person who stigmatized her like other people is her biological father.
She is to choose whether to forgive or reject him and most importantly whether the marriage plans between her fiance would pull through amidst the chaos.
Over the years, I have learnt some worthy lessons from nature that I’d like to share with you, hoping you’ll find them as revealing as I did.
First, we must agree that there’s indeed a lot we all can learn. The world needs to sit back and observe again nature’s course, discover truths and apply the lessons to our daily lives. These lessons provides us with a blueprint by which we can promote global peace.
Many hindrances to the global peace I speak of have their base in the discriminating and segregating act of individuals who despise the selfless and worthy efforts of our heroes’ past.
Martin Luther King (1929 – 1968) Non-violent civil right leader; Nelson Mandela (1918 – 2013) Anti-apartheid leader; Frederick Douglass (1818 – 1895) Anti-slavery and equity leader; Mary Wollstonecraft (1759 – 1797) Women’s right mover and many others fought against this course, but the question is, have the benefits of their struggles been erased from our hearts on account of their demise?
Or how else can one explain why people are still being deprived of certain privileges on the same grounds (sex, race, religion, colour etc.) these leaders tried to abolish?
I discovered that among all God’s creation, humans, despite the privilege of been richly blessed with sound intelligence to think and act, seem to be the weakest of all because it has cherished hate, division, war, discrimination and segregation above love, unity, hope and peace which are meant to bind and make us stronger.
My lessons were drawn from observing the behavior of celestial creatures.
I discovered the secret behind the beauty of the Rainbow and why people so much admire it.
I saw that it’s the systemic harmony of its different colours that actually makes it that beautiful and it taught me the quality of appreciating “beauty in diversity”. Who would have loved the Rainbow if it was just yellow, red or blue?
The rain also taught me that the lifestyle, gender, size, religion, race, colour of people shouldn’t circumscribe me from rendering my help.
The rain falls on the farms, homes, offices and other properties of both the good and bad, regardless of their different attitudes.
The sun and moon further proved that point by helping me understand that one may never know how one’s ability or of others can contribute in transforming the world and make it more different and unique.
They both radiate at different timings to illuminate the earth freely and genuinely.
They are always in harmony regardless of their different temperatures and functions and when there’s an eclipse, it always appears more like a dialogue than a war which fascinates people that they gaze so intently as though to peep on the conversation of the sun and moon. How wonderful!
The world needs to regain its peace, love, hope and be united once again.
We need to learn from all that nature teaches by consciously observing for ourselves and applying the lessons to our own lives. We need to teach our children and the younger generation to see as nature sees and appreciate the beauty in the differences in people’s attitudes.
We are all gifted and unique in our own different ways and as such should not be expected to behave in the same way. We need to embrace our differences, harness our individual potentials and ideology, contribute positively to the earth’s progress and above all, cherish the beauty in our diverse nature so we can uphold the movement of living peacefully in a peaceful world.
No more to WAR, no to KILLINGS, no to APARTHEID… just LOVE
1. Everyone deserves the right to free expression; of thoughts, feelings and emotions…
The forces in nature made it possible for us to eat food regardless…so it got me thinking, what if the food we eat also have such freedom of expression too; to say when they don’t want to be eaten?
3. We all Need to Sleep; to retire from all the day’s work. The forces in nature made it so…
But sometimes we just don’t get as much sleep as we’d need and then get tempted to catch a nap at work…but when it doesn’t go well, we feel so embarrassed👇
So I was thinking too, what if we could choose never to sleep again?
Hey guys, Seth here again. Thank you so much for keeping tabs with my blog.
Today, I’d be sharing with you something I found really worthwhile because of its life-transforming effects. They are in fact, solid life lessons and I’m sure you’d find them as insightful, inspirational and helpful as I did.
Here comes:
1. Hate no one, no matter how much they’ve wronged you:
Here’s the first on the list. This might be hard to live by but it’s an important rule for living a fulfilled life.
You see, hate is a very strong negative feeling. It’s an emotion that takes so much from you to express than it gives.
We mingle with people daily who always find a cause to step on our toes and do the things we don’t approve of. It’s okay to get upset once in a while and express our pain when felt but totally resent and continually wish evil and only negative things for them is terrible. No to “hate”, no, no hate!
2. Live humbly, no matter how wealthy you become:
It’s been said that “when one becomes wealthy and gain more influence, one should try to create a longer table not build a taller fence!”
You should never push people away because you now have a “better” capacity than they do, tables turn, you never can tell.
So it’s of course of due importance that we be careful, nice and humorous towards the people we meet on our way up because they just might be the same we may still meet while coming back down!
Humility is a virtue we all need really.
3. Give much even if you’ve received little and don’t expect to receive as much as you’ve given.
It’s more blessed to give than to receive, so the scripture says!
I’m sure you’ve heard it being said also that “Givers never lack”? Oh yes, it’s true, I am a firm believer that the one who gives never lacks. Instead, they increase even the more.
And when you do, do not expect to receive as much as you’ve given, well, if you do, it’s fine. If not, never stop giving because you have a greater reward.
An African adage says, “The one who gives is always greater than the one who receives.”
So I urge you, remain on top, never stop giving!
4. Think positively no matter how hard life is:
The mind they say is the seat of your life, what you think of, believe in and eventually do, stems out of your mind.Be careful what you believe as true for yourself. The content of your mind defines your life and destiny eventually.
Remember, as you think in your heart so are you… Life could be hard and unfair, but would you allow the negativities it poses step in to disrupt you?
Here is a word of encouragement from me, think positive and remain positive because there’s always going to be light and the end of the tunnel… Also remember, the difference between where you are Now and where you’ll be soon is only but a thin line called Time… stay motivated and remain true to youreself.
5. Forgive all, especially yourself:
It’s true we all have stories, many of which we hate to talk about because we often regret the mistakes we made and risks/actions we didn’t take along the line.
These leaves us in deep agony and unforgivable pains, especially when we get flashes of those moments and wished we could turn back the hands of time…
It may seem like a good thing to not forgive ourselves, talk about the mistake on every opportunity we get and always feel hunted by that hurt, but it’s certainly not the BEST!
You have to forgive yourself, because you can’t change the past – it’s not in your control, what is, is today, and it’s but for a while…
Mistakes are the portals of discovery.
James Joyce
You’re not meant to dwell in the past mistakes but to just pick the lessons learnt and move on because life has to go on…
Everyone deserves your forgiveness, especially you!
6. Never stop praying for the best for everyone:
This one is simply priceless!
You should never pray, wish or even think evil thoughts against anyone, whether a friend or an ‘enemy.’ Rather, pray for them; especially your enemies.
So the scripture says…
Romans 12:17 Recompense to no man evil for evil. Provide things honest in the sight of all men.
12:18 If it be possible, as much as lieth in you, live peaceably with all men.
12:20 Therefore if thine enemy hunger, feed him; if he thirst, give him drink: for in so doing thou shalt heap coals of fire on his head.
12:21 Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil with good.
Stay positive, stay blessed… I you got value as always?

Prince Ea
Every person on earth has a gift, a talent, an inherent unique ability. Will you decide to do those things you ought to do, take those risks you ought to take to succeed or will you just sit back and watch others succeed, break new records and celebrate new wins on a daily basis?
A lot of people are afraid of failing so they never set goals or try to do anything different to change, step out of their comfort zones and produce more meaniful results, so they just sit back and stack up regrets…
You shouldn’t fear failure, but fear being in the exact same place next year as you are today.
Stay positive, be determined, take calculated risks, do something today! ❤️

Hello friends, Seth here! It’s good to have you back on my blog.
Today, I’d like to write about some very powerful emotional attractions of most young people. As a youngster myself, I get entangled sometimes and although I know it’s normal for us to feel so much emotions, I think it’s rather unhealthy to be obsessed by them.
So my list will be precise and articulate as usual based on my observations and interactions with other youngsters.
On a daily basis, I see these obsessions in display, on most people, I think it’s rather unhealthy than normal, so I felt to write about just a few of them, hopefuly you’d find the one you need to continue to strive for or the one you need to totqlly get rid of completely.
So in no particular order, let’s begin:
1. Fitness
The need to keep fit and remain in shape has ranked high among the many needs of young people today. No one needs more calories, every guy wants to get muscular and build six-packs abs, every lady wants to possess that figure-8 kind of feel and look…
Keeping fit is absolutely healthy and necessary for every young person. Exercising helps you stay healthy, strong, active and alive! It boosts your thinking ability as endorphins are being released all over your brain and mind.
However, while you exercise, be sure of the kind of practices you engage in so you don’t overload yourself with activities that could get you overworked. I have seen people who lost balance and went out of shape due to wrong exercise and fitness activities. So be on the lookout for appropriate fitness moves or better still employ the services of a professional.
2. Money
Everyone loves this one. Hey no one loves broke. Being broke is as good as death! Everyone’s on the run to get out of the death-trap of poverty. Every young person want to live a comfortable life. We all love to walk around with some liquidity so as to meet one or two needs that may arise as we move.
I love to have money too. Hehe! We all do right!? Everyone wants to be rich and live comfortably.
It’s only saddening how we could get obsessed with this “lo”v”e” that we could go the “extra-mile” of “doing all it takes” to make it.
As much as it’s good to have money, it’s bad to do evil or engage in unhealthy practices to get it. The best way to make money is to “work” for it!
Yes, WORK- Get a conventional job, run a business, just do something but whatever you do, never steal, cheat or rob!
3. Love
The need to love and be loved in return cannot be over-emphasised. As young people, we love to hear, see, feel and know that we’re being loved by that “special someone”.
Love is a very powerful emotion, it sweeps you off your feet and leaves you hanging in the air!
Loving someone is absolutely normal and knowing you’re being loved in return makes the equation balanced. It even boosts your self-worth and makes you feel even more important. As young people, we love to be loved…We could do crazy things with those we truly love and who love us in return.
Seek-out for healthy and good relationships without negative emotions, but don’t be “obsessed” with it in so much that you have little or no control over your emotions. That’s absolutely unhealthy.
Get the right person – that wouldn’t demand much more than you possibly can give and wouldn’t be a burden you cannot carry. Be with the one, your heart truly loves and your mind truly agrees with.
4. Fashion
As a young man, I’ve seen myself caring less about fashion lately and it got be thinking really…
Every young person loves to get along with the trend; get the latests of all things and be seen. Fashion among all others has really taken over the space.
Most young people are very careful about what they wear; not for its decency but for the tendency to be noticed and spoken about by others. Which might not really be a bad thing…
But here’s why I began to care less about the tendency to be noticed for what I wear but for who I really am…
Here’s the quote:
The reality is, no one cares.
People are too busy living their own lives to care about what you wore for dinner last night.
At 20, your life revolves around an obsession of what others think of you; At 40, you begin to not care what others think of you;
And at 60, you realise that when you were 20, you really weren’t being judged at by anyone but yourself.
– Shirley MacLaine
I think Shirley is right. People are just too busy with their own lives. We’re only left at judging ourselves, which is so unhealthy.
N.B. I love to dress decently and look good, also love those who do same!
5. Celebrities
When ever a celebrity shows up, you see young people on their toes – restless until they either take a selfie or touch them. The crowd is undeniably massive, the obsession is way beyond comprehension. Well, I don’t seem to understand why, but I hope it’s for the good!
I’m not against this one, just bothered somehow… Young people must learn to control their emotions and understand what’s more important in their lives.
As a younster, you must dentify what matters most to you and be true to yourself about it, focus all your efforts towards it, then you’ll find fulfilment in accomplishing it!
That’s it from me today, till I come your way again, very soon.
