I remember in 2020 I went to see my Aunt at the NAF Valley Estate (NAF Base) Abj, during the #ENDSARS protest. She told me, "Look you have to do all you can to leave Nigeria". I was astounded, because our conversation didn't warrant such a statement. But she goes again..........

"Now is not the time for activism, but the time for you to realize that a shark does not live in a pond. She spoke so assertively looking at me in the eyes. I am not trying to be literal Collins, neither am I trying to flatter you, I expect you to know that a dough will take.....

the shape of the pan it is put in, so does our environment shape us from within.

Destiny? Do you know that our "DESTINIES" are moulded by circumstances that are technically influenced by our environment? And these technicalities includes our friends............

the men/women we choose as our husbands/wives, our parents, our siblings, place of work, place of worship, place of education, how or where we socialize and alot more of other stuffs that directly influences our lives from our environment. These technicalities conjures...........

our judgements, decisions, opinions and choices, that becomes the deciding factor of our "DESTINIES". And just like a pastry that has gone through the heat, we become finished products that can not just escape by chance. It will require alot of hard work, and a bit of luck.......

break through"

It took me this long to eventually understand everything she was saying that day.

Because of the wrong environment many are in, they may never make it. Their "DESTINIES" has been or will be technically influenced by their environment.
