These few days have been so busy for me, been a mother I had to first take care of my kids most times handle external matters before coming back to myself.

Today's case was so different, got up to care for my kids and prepare the older one for school then get to do some laundry. It was not so easy for me.
There is this heavy program coming up this weekend from Thursday being involved in the planning process i had to give some finishing touches to what had been done already. Done with laundry and went to wait for my son to return from school, from there I went to the market to get some things. Then came of to prepare my children's pap and mixed cereals the I got to prepare dinner fed the kids took them to bath then to bed.
In between, I forgot that I have not taken something reasonable today and that added to my stess because o was so weak.
In all I give God all the glory that someone didn't faint. Hope your day was well spent too, I do wish you all the goodies of life. For those within my vicinity you are invited to join us for this gathering.

Trying to work on people's believe system is not so easy as the persons had already assume how things should be. Well, a man that stops learning is on his way to say good bye to the mother Earth, life is a process and we progress by doing new things or discovering new ways of doing things. This brings me to the topic of the day, *how I will convince someone of 1960's about the importance of smartphone.

Those in the primitive age does not believe one should spend so much fortune in trevial things their minds always heads towards investment on properties and sometimes good food. I have two stories of how I was able to convince my mother and my mother inlaw on the importance of using smart gadget's.

You can remember in my last publication on Monday I spoke of how I lost my laptop which I got for the purpose of my project in school. Now I was left with no other option than to use my smart phone to source for material's for my project. My mother will not want to hear anything relating to buying new laptop. After my school work, it was now my younger siblings turn to face what I faced then I opened opened up to her that this phone we hold is not just meant for calls. I made her understand that it helps to save time and energy, the time and money one use in going to the library can be used to get data and access information and more online. Well, my Mom was not so difficult to convince because at least she believe in laptop and our last born got an award of a laptop when he was still in the secondary school, also looking practically from my own experience she gave in.

Coming to my mother inlaw, it was not really easy first it's a different environment and most people here believe in physical work and enjoy using cheap articles. Recently my husband's phone had calibrator issue so we had to make use of one phone. When she enquired of how much it will cost for the phone to be fixed I told her 10k naira , she shouted. Then I took the time to make her understand that this phone she is looking at is an office. Most people now don't need to go to the physical office to make ends meet. Reluctantly she accepted what I said because I brought many instances to convince her.

*Do you know why many from the 1960's don't believe in smart phone?* It has been recorded that many fraudulent activities are being carried out with phone. There are even those of much younger age who do not believe that something positive can be done with this phone that profits you and I. Few weeks back I was conversing with a young lady she said that most things they do online is Yahoo Yahoo. I was like, that's because you have not met the correct and current platforms.

My advice now is, for we that have the write knowledge we can do well to keep informing people of the importance of this smartphone, let's be the example and keep telling people the good ways that exits with smartphone. Also let's look away from the negative ways

This is my entry for the hive learner's contest week 64 edition 2. Thank you for visiting my blog dear ones, see you in the next edition.

*Bye*

I present to you my beautiful godmother.

𝗔𝗳𝗮𝗿 𝗘𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗮 : Human Civilization began in Afar

The Afar Region is also known for its historic finds of Lucy, the genesis of human ancestors. Scientists believe that human civilization began in Africa and Lucy's remains date back 3.2 million

The Afar People: Warriors, Artists, and Keepers of Ancient Traditions

The Afar, also known as the Danakil, is an ethnic group in the Horn of Africa, mainly residing in Eritrea, Djibouti and the Afar Region in Ethiopia. The Afar have acquired a reputation as a warrior tribe due to their involvement in various conflicts in the region over the past centuries. They are closely related to the Omo and Beja peoples, who are their neighboring communities.

The Afar people are known for their small handcrafted articles made from silver and bronze. They often use metal from used cartridges to create these beautiful pieces of art. This artistic tradition has been passed down from generation to generation and remains an important part of their cultural heritage.

The Afar people have a rich history and are considered the sister culture of the ancient Ta-Seti people. The Ta-Seti culture is among the founding branches of the eastern Bejaw or Beja People, while the Ta-Antyu (Puntite) Utjenet Culture is the progenitor of the Afari and Tigre cultures. The Land of Punt played a pivotal role in the development of Egypt's pre-dynastic civilization and played a significant role throughout dynastic Egyptian history.

The Afar people have an economy based on livestock, keeping cows, sheep, and goats for meat and milk, and donkeys, horses, and camels for transportation. A man's wealth is often assessed by how many animals he has. The political system of the Afar people is based on tribal chiefs and warlords.

The Afar people are mostly Muslim, and their religious beliefs and practices are an important part of their daily lives. They sometimes use a papyrus root called burri, which is mixed with milk to make a porridge. The Afar people's culture and traditions have stood the test of time, and they continue to preserve and celebrate their heritage.
The Afar language is predominantly spoken by the Afar people in Djibouti, Eritrea, and the Afar Region of Ethiopia as their mother tongue. According to Ethnologue, there are approximately 2.6 million Afar speakers worldwide

The Supreme Court has sided with an 94-year-old Minnesota grandmother who was wronged when her county forced the sale of her condo over unpaid taxes, and kept proceeds that far exceeded the taxes owed - the latest "home equity theft" to make headlines.

INTRODUCTION



Greetings bosses and welcome to my blog.
[Img src](https://www.pexels.com/photo/toddler-playing-soccer-296302/)

This post will serve as a medium for a contest titled "losing close friends."

Before I proceed with this post, I will like to thank boss @dlmmqb because if not for him, I will not be able to make this post as he's the one who helped me with my low RC level. Thanks to everyone for their vocal and motivational support in hivelearners, I really appreciate.

*So, let's get to the content shall we?*
The act of keeping friends is one that needs to be met by everyone in other to maintain a good mental health and social lifestyle. Developmentally speaking, an individual subconciously makes friends everywhere they go and this act is only but natural and important for that given individual as it helps to elevate mental health to a good peak. However, one thing I have noticed personally in life is that the more a person grows, he/she tends to forget about their old friends. This happen due to one reason or another and sometimes, it happens naturally without any reason.


WE ALL HAVE THOSE FRIENDS THAT WE WERE REALLY CLOSE TO DURING CHILDHOOD, BUT EVENTUALLY LOST DUE TO ONE REASON OR THE OTHER. WHAT HAPPENED?

I use to have a lot of friends before I moved to the east. I grew up in the north, Kaduna state Nigeria to be precise and life there was one I always wished for irrespective of the fact that we had little as of then.

I had real friends from he north who will always be there for me no matter what. Their names are Thank God, D-boy, Samson, onoja, Nwokeoma, and many of them I can't finish listing. These people made life memorable for me and I really appreciate it but it was too bad I lost my friends.

One day, my mom gathered I and my brothers and told us that we will relocate to the east based on the insecurity of the north as of then as well as we didn't have much to fend for our selves. She said that we needed to know where we came from so that we could locate and go back to our source if anything happened. Being a teenager then,I didn't want to leave my friends and I insisted on staying back with my friends but mom being mom, refused, she only told I and my brothers to start saying our goodbyes before it was too late and we reluctantly agreed.

When the time for us to travel came, I was bittered because I didn't have a phone to collect their phone numbers and that was how I lost both physical and digital communication with my beloved friends.


WHERE ARE THEY NOW

[Img src](https://www.pexels.com/photo/thoughtful-man-using-smartphone-on-street-3800149/)

Currently I don't really know where they are. All I know is that I left them at Kaduna and came back to the east. Few years ago, I heard rumors from my mother that one of my friends Nnana and his parents relocated to Lagos Nigeria because of the same insecurity in Kaduna state.


HOW WILL YOU REACT IF YOU WERE TO SEE THEM AGAIN

TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW HOW I WILL REACT.

Leaving my friends in Kaduna really made me have an introversion characteristics but I am a kind of person that move on easily from any past I have and it has been helping me emotionally. One thing I've told my self about them is that: people come and go but the only thing that matters is the positive impact we leave inside them before going. So with this, I know that I left a good impact on my friends.

Also, I don't like going back to my last, well unless I want to learn from my past but if not, I see my last as a library in which I go to for lectures, in other to perfect my future, so on this note, I will neither be happy nor sad if I meet them again.. I'll just have my normal attitude and learn more from them.


CONCLUSION

We all have previous friends we left due to one reason or another and that action has left us with a good or bad characteristics in one way or the other. However, it is only but natural for we to lose more friends because the older one gets, the higher their level and the faster they lose friends who don't impact positivity to them lives. Irresponsible of this fact however, we should always move forward with a huge smile and learn from our past because going back to the past without a tangible reason means that a person isn't ready to grow and face the bright and difficult future.

This wouldn't be a blog if you don't visit it and read through, on this note I want to Thank you for reading through my blog, I really appreciate.

Happy new fruitful week ahead.

For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So then, they are no longer two but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.
Matthew 19:5‭-‬6

Good morning fellow citizens, we wish you a restful Sunday and a great start to the week ahead.
May God bless you all.
