Marriage to me is an academy that one have a day of admission but no specific day of graduation till death do one part. There are lots of school of thought when it comes to what an ideal marriage should look like, but in all my stand in marriage is to be selfless and marrying someone who you disagree to agree without any third party coming in between.

In recent times there has been lots of divorce cases that makes one to wonder if really the people involved gave a deep thought into what marriage is before going into it at the first place. Well, most people yeild to the pressure from the society or even the immediate family saying *that all your mates are married and what are you waiting for"? Marriage is not by compulsion or out of fleshly desires. A man or a woman that is given to fornication will not stop when he is married either rather he will want to taste the different nature's because that has been his or her way of life.

Marriage is not always what one thinks in all, I can vividly remember that I attend various seminars and the preachers always try to give a picture of what an ideal marriage should look like. Most times people relate matters based on their own experience or what they heard from others and few put up ideas based on how it should be. Marriage is a package, so when you enter as you open it up what you see in yours is what you should take, so coming in with a rigid standard can ruin ones home.

For instance, if I have a standard and I feel my husband is not measuring up, the thing I need to do is not to force my way into him but gradually telling him the importance of doing things differently. Both of us will make mistakes then accepting our mistakes will enable us learn the best way to do same next time but sitting down with my correction fluid and refusing to be corrected will bring no little issue

Marriage is the coming together of two different adults who has been in there own environment and their way of training different, but when we come together we work on havingvthe same view.

*There was one promise I got from my father in law before I got married*. Initially I wanted to stay in my parents house and at least work to have some kind of financial freedom before getting married, *because without money marriage may become a mirage* but that was not possible for me and I decided to give in when my father in-law told me that there are jobs everywhere in their place. Well, I quickly accepted and the whole process was done. Fast forward to some weeks after, I asked him of the jobs he spoke of, he was bringing suggestions of working in their village for less than 8k in naira. *What!!!!* I was so sad the day I heard that. When we returned I told my husband that I was going to start up a business at least to help the family with those earnings.

That's one out of many, but this experience has taught me to believe in myself and no one can pay me more than I çan pay myself. Three years later I got a job that I was promised to be paid 20k naira . Four days after accepting the job and seeing how demanding it was going to be I left the job. Two weeks down the lane I got another that promised to pay 40k in naira, I also declined because some things may look juicing but a time killer.

Now before I accept any offer I have to put many things into consideration which includes the condition of my family, any job that will take my attention up 70 percent from my family is not for me. Also any job that will take 9 hours from my time in a day is not for me.

Now I have come to believe more in myself and what I have to offer. In this time one have to have good confidence in himself because that will help one run from distractions. In marriage I have become more matured in mind and have learnt how to handle my issues without involving anyone.

Greetings to all the members of the community and beyond am glad to be among you this time. I have heard so much about the community,now I decided to come add my voice here.

The topic for discussion this time is very interesting. Everyone in life do have one thing or the other they are looking forward to achieving, a man without vision will follow every shadow as shadow most times are deceptive. So *Achievement* is as a result of resilient pursuit of vision. In pursuing vision distractions may set in but the ability not to allow the distractions for too long will help one reach his destination on time.

To the question, *what I do when I achieve a thing*. Am not a kind of person that throws party at a slittest achievement. A times when I achieve a thing especially those that gave me much concern I get so happy and I do well to share with my friends and family for them to rejoice and with me also. Immediately when am down celebrating,I get to think of the next target to set for myself. Setting this targets helps me to make the best use of every opportunity and at the time am not counter as someone that wants the.

As the new week is starting I already have a set goal for myself, I will celebrate my achievement with my spouse by the end of this new week.

Hope I have done Justice to the topic so far, am glad you visited my blog. See you next time.

Greetings great bosses and welcome to my blog.

Hope you know what day it is yeah?

Yep, you correct... It's Sunday and do you know what we do on Sundays in this noble community?

We do THE CREATIVE-SUNDAY my boss.. we bring out our creativity on Sundays. So here's a piece of mine.

*You wanna see it?*

*Relax with a loving drink cause' I'm about to take you through a ride of popping parties" so let's begin shall we?*

*Let's do some Merlin*
In the land of parties at a time of need, the destiny of a great party rest on the shoulders of a young author, his name: Nwothini

Party poppers are really fun to use in parties as it makes the party more lively by bringing out the colors of the party.

kaboom

At times, due to tight budget and inadequate finance, some people cannot afford a party popper and as such, their parties will not beauty of a party popper.

*Too sad*

BUT

What if I tell you that there's a solution? Will you take it? If yes,

*LETS DIVE INNNNNNNN*

There's really a solution to that and it's really am amazing one.. you could independently make your own party popper from the comfort of your home and make your party lively. I made one myself and I will show you the steps I took to make myself a beautiful party popper.

To begin with, I got a tissue paper, then I removed the center.

In the next step, I gathered everything I will use to make this party popper and they include:

1. A pair of scissors

2. The center of a tissue paper: I'll name this "hollow circle."

3. A balloon

4. Colored papers

5. The nylon of biscuits

6. A gumming tape

That's all.. everything you need for your awesome party popper

In the next step, I cut the balloon as shown in the image above, then

I wrapped it on the "hollow circle"

Next, I used a tape to hold the balloon and the hollow circle in place so that the balloon wouldn't pull out when popping.

Next, I covered the "hollow circle" with a green paper and I held it in place using a tape. The reason for the green paper is to cover the taped balloon.
The paper was longer than the hollow circle, so I used my scissors to reduce it to a good length.

How I covered the bottom. NEXT



Next, I decided to run the tape vertically on the paper that covered the hollow circle. I did this for beautification, to give it a stripe-like appearance, after which I sealed the top to avoid the paper from popping out.

Next. Looking into the popper, there was a hole in it, so I came to the rescue


I used a tape to seal the bottom of the balloon so that anything I put inside the popper will not fall off..
Hole closed

*Hope you're learning something new?*

*Let's continue*

Next, I used the scissors to
to cut the biscuits nylon into smaller pieces. I cut it until it was enough as I needed.
When I'm done, I set the popper ad the pieces of biscuit nylon for a cool photograph.

Next, I loaded the biscuit nylon into the popper and then........

You know what was next

A fully loaded party popper
I don't really know how to paste a video here on hive, so please check out how the Popping through the link below.

US insists it’s not party to Ukraine conflict while pumping Kiev with weapons 2 mins

As Washington announces a new $300 million military aid package to Ukraine, including a variety of weaponry and ammo, US National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby continues to insist that America does not ‘encourage attacks inside Russia’. RT’s Caleb Maupin takes a closer look at the issue.

After 530K Austrians signed a referendum petition calling for the right to cash payments to be enshrined in Austria’s constitution, Austria’s political class is refusing to move forward with adding this legal right, warns the Freedom Party of Austria.

This will be pretty much a continuation of one of my previous posts on the subject as I've attached the link above to this post in order to link all of you directly to the content.

As previously discussed, we know that Collective Control of the means of production, no matter who the collective is controlling it, is by definition Socialism. Public Sector Control of the means of Production is Socialism. Society controlling the means of production is Socialism. Collective Shareholder Control of the means of production is Socialism. Race Control of the means of production is Socialism. State Control of the Means of production and State Control of the Economy is Socialism. Worker Control of the means of production is Socialism. Absolutely none of these somehow equal Capitalism as the enemies of the individuals of the private sector are misleading you to believe.

Capitalism means Private Individual Control of his/her own means of production. Private Individual control of his own economy. There is no State there. In fact, Capitalism is Anti-State. You cannot have Capitalism nor even a functioning private sector if the Economy is controlled or owned by the State. Collective Ownership of the means of production and Collective Control of the means of production are two sides of the same coin. When the State has control of the means of production, that is not Capitalism, as the State by having control also has defacto ownership of the means of production.

When the State has control of the means of production, it can force you to give up your wealth away through forced taxations rather than voluntary. The State can coerce business owners to do its bidding, and even has the power to remove what they would falsely call (Private Business Owners), and replace them with those that would do what they want.. Everyone is forced to bow to the collective whether they like it or not.

Private property does not exist with Socialism. Yes, we are indoctrinated by those that call themselves Conservatives, in believing that Private Property Exists in the U.S. The reality is that it does not exist. As i have mentioned before, try not paying your Public Taxes and we will see if that property belongs to you or not. The truth is that it doesn't belong to you. The State is the true owner and they have the power to steal your property if you don't agree to be looted through taxation theft. The State Controls the means of production, not the private individual. This is NOT CAPITALISM, as the Private individual is not in control of his own economy. This is clearly Socialism. It may not be Marixism that requires that the Workers have full ownership of the means of Production, and through this (the Workers) become the ruling class, and thus become the State. But it certainly is Socialism. And Socialism predates Marxism by a long shot. Socialism is the Collective Contorl of the means of produciton. Where is the worker element there? Nowhere, the Class Element (Workers), is an add-on just like the National Socialists Race Element. Socialism simply is the State in control of the Economy.

Capitalism is Freedom of the Individual. You cannot have a Capitalist Dictatorship, as with Capitalism the Collective doesn't exist, and everyone is out for themselves, (Individualism). Through Capitalism, a Totalitarian Government couldn't exist neither. For a Government to be Totalitarian, there must be Total State Control of the Economy. That cannot possibly happen with an Individualistic Capitalist Economy and everyone doing their own thing.

I hope this post explains, in a way most people can comprehend, what is Socialism, and what is Capitalism. And that neither the Democratic Party, Nor the Republican Party are Capitalist parties as the incompetent Activists disguised as Journalists say.

Big party, big package
In #AyiaNapa, Cyprus, nightlife is one of the biggest attractions.
A lot of young people come to this city to socialize and party.
Since they come in groups, it is understandable that a larger amount of alcohol is needed.
So, vodka is packaged in 2, 3, 6 liter bottles.
Young men and women, cheers!
But, be careful, not to overdo it.

Outside this country, Nigeria, people complain of police brutality and they brag of how honest their armed forces are but in Nigeria, it is worst.

*WELCOME TO NIGERIA MY COUNTRY*

The forces are meant to protect the people of a given locality against themselves and foreign invaders and this responsibility is first in their life, however in my country, things aren't how they seem.

I have an experience with some police people in Abiriba and to be honest, after that day, I prefer jungle justice to submitting criminals to police irrespective of the fact that jungle justice is illegal. Jungle justice basically means taking the laws into your hands and passing out punishment.


HAVE YOU EVER HAD AN EXPERIENCE WITH A MEMBER OF THE FORCE?


I have had an experience with the force and it was not funny, to be honest.

After that day, I became very much angered at the sight of any police force and I preferred taking laws into my hands.


WHAT LED TO THE ALTERCATION?

[Img src](https://www.pexels.com/photo/man-in-black-long-sleeve-shirt-holding-a-laptop-5496473/)

Few months ago, I was in my lodge relaxing on a weekend, then I decided to go to a phone charging center to plug my phone. When I was passing through my school, I noticed that our school gardener was being beaten by the students and when I asked why, they told me that the guy stole from them.

They said that he went into the boys hostel and stole the phones and power banks of the hostel dwellers. When I asked why he (the gardener) was the primary suspect, they told me that he brought in a new face into the school a day before the theft, and the gardener was going round the school and he even entered the girls hostel. Then they said that they saw a students power bank in his possession which he wrapped with a labour party flyer, and he claimed that it was his brothers own, but a student confirmed ownership of the power bank through the aid of the power banks receipt after unwrapping it.

A civil defence officer saw what was happening and intervened, the officer said that we should take him to the police station, which we did. On our way to the police station, some persons in including me was kicking against the action, but I couldn't stop him because he is an officer and our home sister agreed to take the gardener to be police station.

When we got there, the police was always saying "pay this, pay that" and the police men and women started their "protocols," saying that we should do some paper works and write down police statement which we did. The victim testified to the police in how the thing went and why he was the primary suspect but what the police said was that "we should go back to school, they will come to school to check us, and still do their investigation."

When they said this, I knew something was off, so I collect the number of their A.S.P. I called him in the evening of that day same day, I called the ASP to remind him of their coming but what he told me was that his boys was not around, they went to another movement, and they will be with me shortly. I said okay, and then I ended the call.

I allowed him for that day, and I called him the next day, but he told me that he was busy, and will call me back later... What I told him was: if nothing is done by the police, we the students will go for a protest and carry out jungle justice if the gardener is released without provider the lost phones and power banks. After saying that, the ASP of police said that I should calm down, they have things under control.

*Enjoying it yeah?*

*Okay, let's ride on*


HOW WAS IT SETTLED?

After all trials and error with the police, the information we heard from our home sister was that the gardener was placed on bail out. When we heard this, we became very mad at the home sister and threatened to do what was on our mind but the home sister was begging us to calm down.

*Look at me flaring up, but none of my stuff was stolen*

Anyways, I was Soo disappointed in the police and I couldn't bring my self to call the ASP of police. My morale quenched when our principal called us and begged us to calm down and forget about things which we did to respect her and the image of nursing.

With this my experience, I resorted to believing in jungle justice but I know I can't hurt a fly though. I was sooo, bittered that the gardener was not brought to justice but instead, the police was only interested in the bail money.

After a long and hard two days of partying I’m checking out. Sleep tight SoMeeans!

Hopefully we can get this party started again…

On May 26, 1805 Meriwether Lewis writes in his journal that he sees the Rocky Mountains for the first time…“In the after part of the day I also walked out and ascended the river hills which I found sufficiently fortiegueing. On arriving to the summit [of] one of the highest points in the neighborhood I thought myself well repaid for my labor; as from this point I beheld the Rocky Mountains for the first time, I could only discover a few of the most elevated points above the horizon, the most remarkable of which by my pocket compass I found bore N. 65°. W. being a little to the N. of the N.W. extremity of the range of broken mountains seen this morning by Cap. C. these points of the Rocky Mountains were covered with snow and the sun shone on it in such manner as to give me the most plain and satisfactory view, while I viewed these mountains I felt a secret pleasure in finding myself so near the head of the heretofore conceived boundless Missouri; but when I reflected on the difficulties which this snowy barrier would most probably throw in my way to the Pacific, and the sufferings and hardships of myself and party in them, it in some measure counterballanced the joy I had felt in the first moments in which I gazed on them; but as I have always held it a crime to anticipate evils I will believe it a good comfortable road untill I am compelled to believe differently…”
