Of recent, a lot of Nigerians have been made aware of the existence of the crypto world. this is largely as a result of the massive cash out made from Notcoin. many people want free money and fail to understand exactly what happens or how it happens. so today I hope                             to give a little recap of what crypto currency is about.               crypto, has become very popular over the years and was first introduced in January  2009 when bitcoin was launched with a price next to almost nothing. a lot of people argued that bitcoin; world's first crypto would be absolute rubbish. but investors and researchers looking at bitcoin whitelist were able to see a future for the project.   unlike the normal fiat currencies countries all over the world employ, crypto is a form of decentralized digital currency created using encryption algorithms. unlike the...

STIGMATIZATION

Today let's talk about stigmatization. What does it feel like to be stigmatized? What exactly is stigmatization? Stigmatization is the act of seeing someone in a negative way because of a particular characteristic or attribute or even a mistake. It maybe cultural background, disability or a mental illness.  Stigmatization has harmful effects on the individual such as Feelings of shame, hopelessness and isolation Reluctance to ask for help Bullying, physical violence or harassment Self-doubt.

SEXUAL ASSAULT

Image
It's the month of sexual assault awareness. In the spirit of the awareness, let's talk about rape.  When I say there's a rape case, what comes to the minds of most people is that the victim is a girl. Girls are more fragile after all so it's easier for them to be victims of a rape case. Let's bring to light the fact that boys can be raped too. These cases are a bit rare, but they do happen. I know you must be wondering how can a guy be raped. Let's ask ourselves, what is rape.  Rape according to Merriam Webster dictionary, is an unlawful sexual activity and usually sexual intercourse carried out forcibly or under threat of injury against a person's will or with a person who is beneath a certain age or incapable of valid consent because of mental illness, mental deficiency, intoxication, unconsciousness, or deception. Any sexual activity against a person's will is called rape. In male cases, it occurs mostly with underaged boys, where they are...

BE NICE

Just be nice. I hear some of you saying you were nice but you went through hell, and it changed you a whole lot. Well, it's understandable that you've been through pain, pain changes a person. But if you don't heal, you might as well pass that pain to generations and before you realize it, you've damaged a whole lot of people. Yes you were wrong, but don't wrong others. If they weren't nice to you, be nice to others. Only because you don't want them to experience the same pain you felt. Just be nice. It doesn't hurt to be nice. Being nice comes with a really satisfactory feeling that nothing else may give you. Just be nice. I hear some say “people take nice people for granted, and take advantage of them". Be nice but don't misplace ur brain. Set boundaries. Being nice doesn't stop you from taking action when someone crosses your bottom line. And setting boundaries shouldn't affect your being nice either. They have nothing to do with each...

FEMINIST CRITICISM

Image
According to Oxford's dictionary, a feminist is an advocate of women's rights on the basis of the equality of sexes.  Feminism generally, is a movement set to achieve full gender equality in law and in practice. Clearly, the role of a feminist is to promote gender equality. Since the beginning of feminism, there has always been an uproar especially among the males maybe because they don't believe in equality. Or maybe because they think they women can't be equal with men. It's totally agreeable because no matter how hard we all try, there can't be total equality between males and females. Let's not talk about the equality but bring to the light the fact that the real meaning of feminism has been forgotten. In the past, and even up until this day, in some places, there were things women were prohibited from doing. That was where the need for a feminist arose. It was to bring to the knowledge of people that women doing all these things weren't ...

INFERIORITY COMPLEX

Image
Inferiority complex is one of the major causes of depression. Inferiority feelings are complex emotions that usually indicate perceived weakness and helplessness. Some call it inferiority complex, others call it low self esteem. One telltale sign of inferiority complex is constantly comparing yourself to others. Another is believing you are not good enough. Some of you have been spending your time comparing yourselves to people, seeing them do things you want to achieve, yet not achieving those things because you feel you're not good enough or you don't have the potential. You might not have known but that's inferiority complex. Inferiority stops you from moving forward. It makes you stagnant. Chances are that you've experienced self- doubt and uncertainty at some point, it's totally okay. It's normal to struggle with feelings of inadequacy every now and again but when that feeling becomes a crippling fear of not matching up to others, it could signa...
