CLOSING THE CURTAINS

Wow, just like that it's the end of another year, 52 weeks, 365 days...by this time tomorrow,  we begin another phase entirely. Who am I not to be grateful?? This blog right here is one of the babies 2015 brought my way and so far so good,  it's been awesome. God has been faithful😇
First of,  I want to thank all those that continually take their time to read my posts,  y'all made me smile this year😊. Thanks for your support and encouragement.
Well I have nothing much to say but as this year comes to a close, look around, you have every reason to thank God. It might not have been a smooth ride for all of us, but in the midst of it all,  we made it! Take out time to appreciate your loved ones and those that were there for you all through the year despite your excesses.
Do not let your little imperfections lead you to the fallacy that you have not achieved anything good in 2015. Trust me,  one way or the other,  you must have made someone smile. People cherish and value you even though they might not always tell you.
So keep being who you are, with daily improvement on your weak points. 2015 was really good,  we believe that 2016 will be better. Keep watching this space! 🙏
 Expect greater and  better things from Purplenigma97.blogspot.com come next year and watch out for the purplenigmers. Yasss wee keeping it 💯.
Have an amazing 2016 lovers. I love y'all till the word "love"  no longer exist😘😘

SEARCHING FOR NOTHING!

Hey there! Yes compliments of the season still. It's been wonderful so far with so much food lol. Well this is just a little piece talking about the importance of not majoring on the minor. So many atimes, we chase after shadows and forget about the most important things. It's time to set your priorities straight! I hope you  enjoy the poem. 

SEARCHING FOR NOTHING! 

To the life where everyone wants to belong,
Constantly seeking for approval, both right and wrong,
To the life where vanity prevails,
And no one seems to feel what anyone says,
Where life has been replaced by a game,
Good and bad,  one and the same,
Justifying their actions with the YOLO meme,
The silhouette has become the main frame,
Stupidity and frivolity enthroned in one name,
Both young and old in search of fame,
Not caring even if the beast they untame,
Little they forget that life is simply smoke,
The hustling and famzing, nothing but a joke,
Wait until life gives you a hard stroke,
Them simplicity and moderation you will invoke... 

Comments and feedbacks are well appreciated.

WHAT CHRISTMAS MEANS TO ME

Good morning purplenigmers! 

Yasss it's Christmas Eve, can feel the vibes all around now buh guys! Take it easy on those chickens please, they deserve love too lol. Anyway, getting down to the business of the day. So one of our loyal subscribers who is also a proficient writer,  decided to share something with us. Isn't that lovely? Yes I know. Well he is telling us what Christmas means to him so seat back,  read and enjoy!

CHRISTMAS TO ME!!!
Christmas! Christmas!! Christmas!!!OMG, it is here again… season of jollof rice, chicken, new cloth, money from visitors (my favourite part), family all around, banga, fireworks, carol songs, basically, FESTIVE!!!
Today, I gave this season a thought. What does Christmas actually mean to ME???
Well, some 5 years ago, it just meant going to the village (my dad’s tradition he is trying to instil into us… we get it dad, ‘don’t forget home’ we know), don’t get me wrong o, my village is small London. Awesome place to be, with wonderful people. This was five years ago…
Now, we still go to the village (lol, that’s not the point jare, silly you) but it’s not really about the venue, rather the activity. Venue also matters o… don’t get me wrong (we’ll get to that soon).
So, to me now, Christmas has more meaning. It is the birth of the FINAL SALVATION PACKAGE!!! A fulfilment of a long standing promise (chai, so many prophesies). Let’s pause for a minute and examine the definition. Birth of (1) FINAL (2) SALVATION (3) PACKAGE

FINAL…
This inherently means prior to the birth of baby Jesus, there were various RESCUE MISSIONS God (Our Ever-Loving Father) undertook to restore Humanity with Divinity. Remember the flood during Noah’s time, the plagues that befell the Egyptians while rescuing His beloved Israelites etc… some kind 007 Rouge Nation undercover missions, nice one Big G, I see you. Unfortunately, these missions seemed abortive. Not because God was ineffective or inadequate (Never), but it was man just being human, continually falling short of the covenant.
So God developed a new strategy, one that needs no Human effort than to believe. This mission being undertaken was the last and final one (GHEN GHEN)… oh, with this, we would expect that after such a mighty flood, 10 plagues and so on, the Lord God will finally save Humanity with a chariot of fire, or heavenly hosts will just come and host us away, lol, or at worst, just take us away like brother Enoch. No, our unconventional God saves teenagers, youth, Adults, working class, and the aged with a baby boy. It beats all reasoning that the DEATH of one will give all LIFE.

SALVATION…
See FINAL above. (You were expecting rhema abi? Lol) well with salvation, two words… Eternal relationship.

PACKAGE…
A Package more often than not is a GIFT… yup, the salvation package is not an exception. God’s loving kindness and grace is what makes the salvation package available. It is however important to note that salvation is not the only gift in this bag (those of us who go to owanbe will know this of course, that there is more than one item inside gift bag), we have amongst others Fruitfulness, Joy, everlasting peace and holiness. So the big question is, why don’t you receive your take-away pack today? Its FREE.
One thing that has consistently guided me this period is the fact that it is not my birthday… it is Jesus’s. So, while rejoicing in this festive season, We should be celebrating baby Jesus. If Jesus were to be born in this contemporary day, I’m sure He’ll have had at least a naming ceremony. Ohya, let’s go and turn up. Wait, oh I forgot, We need two things, first the venue (place of the party), and what we are giving him as a gift. Afterall the wise men have gave him Gold, Frankincense and Martyr (how do we beat that? smh mehn).

VENUE
Where are you spending the birthday? Where are we TURNING UP? Are you going to seek Jesus’s face at his father’s house? Or are we throwing a club bash? Who on earth is the event planner for this birthday? Wherever you may end up, keep this in mind, God’s voice or glory is not revealed in shady places.

GIFT
 This beautiful season, what birthday gift are we giving to Jesus? Remember we can’t give Him money, the wise men already covered that. How about we get some dippers? Naa… someone must have thought of that already. Toys? Too cliché. How about praises? Yeah. That’s good, but insufficient as an appreciation for the ultimate sacrifice of death he fulfilled for us.
Eureka!
He gave his life for us, why not give ours to Him? This will definitely be the best gift anyone can give Him at the party, their all. Also, this will definitely entitle us to the package that will be shared at the party. THE FINAL SALVATION PACKAGE.
I have my gift for baby Jesus this Christmas (My Life). Well, what will you do for Him?
So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life – your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life – and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him.
(Romans 12:1 MSV)

Hope you enjoyed this piece as much as I did. Have a merry, berry, tasty, juicy, snacky and snazzy Christmas celebration tomorrow. Lots of Love**

JUST BE HAPPY!

It's not so easy to be happy I tell you,
Because the devil just has this way of sneaking in thoughts or illusions into our heads  and minds to make us unhappy even when we have a lot of things to be happy about.
But regardless, you just have to make up your mind and strive to be happy!
Just be Happy... Not because of anyone or anything or any achievement but because you choose to be happy and you are happy.
Happiness is a state of mind,  nothing more!
If you are not happy,  it is because you have not still decided to be happy.
Once you make up your mind to be happy,  you will find ways to make yourself happy, not by doing drugs or any negative thing but there are several other ways.
Experience has shown that the best way to find happiness is when you are a source of happiness to someone. When you put a smile on the face of another, your heart is filled with joy also and you are happy.
So just be happy. You have nothing to gain by being unhappy so why not wipe off that dirty smirk off the devil's face by choosing to be ALWAYS happy regardless of the circumstances surrounding you.

TIME; OUR GREATEST ASSET

Happy Sunday purplenigmers. Am sure your Sunday was as beautiful as mine. So what are we discussing today? Time, time, time...
I want to believe we all know the importance of time but this is just a little reminder.
Time is a very important factor in this race of life. This is why we wear the popular adage, "Time is money".
Time is one of the priceless gifts given to mankind by God, you cannot buy it nor renew it.
Once a particular time passes,  it is gone forever ; there can never be another 19th December 2015...Even the second that just passed right now cannot be retrieved, just like spilled milk.
Yes it is deep but that is the reality of life. Very quickly, lemme share with you this extract adapted by John Maxwell in his book, TODAY MATTERS, talking about the importance if time. He said :
"To know the value of one year... ask the student who failed the final exam.
To know the value of one month... ask the mother of a premature baby.
To know the value of one week... ask the editor of a weekly newsmagazine.
To know the value of one hour... ask the lovers who are waiting to meet.
To know the value of one minute,  ask the person who missed the plane.
To know the value of one second... ask the person who survived the accident.
To know the value of one millisecond... ask the Olympic silver medalist".
            - Anon
See more at
So please if you have not been placing so much value on your time before, it's never too late, start now to do so, especially as some of us are already making plans for 2016. Let part of your resolution be to make every second count...
Time is too precious not to be valued.
Have a wonderful week ahead😘

CIRCLES!

Hey honeybuns!
I'm here again to discuss something really important - OUR CIRCLES!
By circles, i mean our friends,  peers,  squad,  call it whatever name you wish...
Our circles go a long way in influencing who we eventually become.
Your friends can either make you or mar you.
Your friends either add to you or subtract from you, albeit unconsciously or unknowingly, there is no middle ground.
Choose your friends wisely and it will save you from a lot of trouble. Like they say,  "Evil communication corrupts good manners".
Choose friends that have similar goals as yours, friends that are heading to the same destination with you,  not abstract friends.
Put a boundary between your friends and your acquaintances. Not everyone you know or you talk to is your friend!
Develop your own circle and try and keep it small...
In this world of social media where everyone is telling everybody everything,  it is wise to be discreet!
Gone are the days when a problem shared is half solved,  now, a problem shared becomes a trending topic!
So why not talk to the one that will never disappoint you- God. He is ever eager to hear you out without judging you.
Have a blessed day ahead!

SOFT WHISPERS(2) - YOU CAN SEE BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH

Morning ladies and gents,  though this post is specially for the ladies buh if the gents want to read also, feel free.
So if you check through my previous posts, you will stumble on the first part of this topic - SOFT WHISPERS (1).Yeah,that's right, this is the second episode.
So what are we talking about this time?
"Sometimes love comes around,
And it knocks  you down,
You just get back up,
When it knocks you down,  knocks you down... "
Keri Hilson was definitely on track  when she sang these lyrics.
He said he loved you, you fall in love also, along the line,  you get hurt, does that mean it's the end of the world? Tomorrow is still Friday, Obama is still the U. S president, nothing has changed...
You have only added to the depth of your experience, get the lesson and MOVE ON! Don't wallow in self-pity or regrets, they will only drain you physically, mentally and emotionally.
Buh sistur, love can't keep knocking you down anyhow because you just might get too weak to stand up. So what can we do about the situation? Here are few tips:
1)Never test the waters of love with both feet. You may drown. He said he loves you but you are not sure yet, his actions do not fit the words, then don't go all head over heels in love with him. Get a good grip over your emotions girl!
2)Love and sex ain't the same thing. There is this illusion spreading like wild fire, not just now, that sex equals love and vice - versa. Please, biko my sisters beware! This is a lie from the pit of hell. Love has never meant sex and it never will. Sex only makes love stronger between married couples but if you are not married and you are having sex,  it will consume you,  that's why it is called CONSUMATION.
Ladies please be wise,  gone are the days when we still leave in ignorance of the vices of the guys. Now the signals are everywhere. If a boy tells you to prove your love by sex,  then you should see the DANGER SIGN all over his forehead and RUN. That guy obviously does not love you, he only lusts you.  There are no exceptions to this general rule. It is absolute so don't go deceiving yourself saying my case is different, our love is special. Guys will always be guys!!! Once they get what they want,  they are out.
Most times, after the sex,  they don't even want to talk to the lady again, they start giving attitude and all,  it has happened so many times so don't fall a victim. To be forewarned is to before harmed!
There are soft whispers all around you,  sweet words but keep your head straight and be calm.  It is just a feeling, it will pass.
Let us revive that good old rule:
YOU CAN ONLY SEE BUT YOU CAN'T TOUCH!

WHAT IS LOVE?

What is love?
Like really what exactly does love mean?
Why does the 3-letter phrase "I love you" seem so easy to say yet so hard to practice?
Why has love been mistaken for so many things these days?
Why do people go about their selfish interests and still convince others that they are doing it for love? (myself included)
What is love?
Love is not an expression,  it's a lifestyle.
Love is not something you show conditionally,  based on how the other person treats you,
Love ought to be unconditional.
If you are thinking of what you will gain, then it's not love,  it's selfishness.
Love entails selflessness.
Love goes beyond texting or calling a person but also praying for that person.
Love is a deep, genuine concern for someone or something.
U don't want any harm to come to the one you love.
You want to always see them happy, make them smile...
Love is life itself.
Love your neighbor as yourself - The greatest commandment of all time.
But before then, there is a preceding command:
Thou shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, might, spirit, soul and body, basically everything uve got...
Therefore, without God, there is no love.
God is love,  love is life💯

WORDS OF WISDOM

Pls permit me to give you these words of wisdom sent to me. It will also be a great blessing to you.
Please read and meditate on them:
1. ON EARNING:
Never depend on single income. Make investment to create a second chance.
2. ON SPENDING:
If you buy things you do not need, soon you will have to sell things you need.
3. ON SAVINGS:
Do not save what is left after spending, but spend what is left after saving.
4. ON TAKING RISK:
Never test the depth of a river with both feet.
5. ON INVESTMENT:
Do not put all eggs in one basket.
6. ON EXPECTATIONS:
Honesty is a very expensive gift. Do not expect it from cheap people.
7. IF YOU are depressed, you are living in the past. If you are anxious, you are living in the future. If you are at peace, you are living in the present. Past is a waste paper. Present is a newspaper and future is a question paper.
8. WHEN bad things happen in your life you have three choices. You can either let it define you, let it destroy you or you can let it strengthen you.
9. EMPTY pockets teach you a million things in life but full pockets spoil you in a million ways.
10. OUR EYES are in the front because it is more important to look ahead than to look back.
11. WE USED a pencil when we were small but now we use pens... do you know why? Because mistakes in childhood can be erased but not now.
So read and write carefully otherwise life will be a
tissue paper.
Hope you have benefitted.
Good morning purplenigmers 😘😘

RACISM

'Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tyres.
Racism will never end if pple still use black to symbolize badluck and white for peace. Racism will never end if people  still wear white cloths for weddings and black for funerals.
Racism will never end as long as those who don't pay their bills are blacklisted not whitelisted.
Even when playing snooker, you haven't won until u have sunk d black ball, and the  white ball must remain on d table.
 But I don't care, as long as I am still using white toilet paper to wipe off my black butt. I'm fine😊...

HELLO LOVERS

Good day beautiful people. So it seems everyone is really digging this Adele's Hello song,  so much that a number of covers have been released by our very own artistes namely Praise Adejo @officialpraiz, Omawumi @omawonder, @rubygyang. Those are their instagram handles and trust me when I say their covers on Hello are on blaze.
I particularly love the reggae flavor @omawonder added to her own version(It's sick!!!👌)
Anywayz you guys should check out the covers and tell me what you think or you can actually decide to make your own cover,  who knows? Adele might just fall in love with your own cover.
Anywayz was just passing by,  and decided to say "Hello"... Lol
Remember to stay positive today, smile all the way and oh yes,  did I mention it's a lecture- free day for me? 😊😊
Ciao 😘😘 #purplenigmers #positiveworld #positivevibes #positivechange #errythingpositive

PRAYFORPARIS

Funny how Nigerians are so bothered about the terrorist attack going on in Paris right now,  while for over four years now, Nigeria has been suffering from the Boko Haram insurgency and nobody cared, not until the Chibok girls incident...
But now here we are,  people changing dps to France flag,  #PrayforParis all over Twitter,  Facebook and Instagram. Now I don't know if people are doing it because they truly care or just to show that they know the latest news but how I wish we(Nigerians)  could be that  passionate about the situations of our country like we appear to be about the situation in Paris.
Even the Post-Biafran movements going on now,  Nigerians are not really bothered.
I mean if all these people I have seen talking bout praying for Paris would also pray for Nigeria in the same vein,  the truth is that we will be in a better place by now.
Don't get me twisted, I am also praying for Paris. I am not a saddist or racist. All am saying is that it's high time Nigerians started being real and concerned about Nigeria. I mean how many Nigerians used Nigerian flag as dp when we were having serious bombings and terrorist attacks? How many people were even truly concerned?
People  were just all about themselves "in so far as they are not bombing my state", they would say.
Yet here we are,  acting all religious,  worried and concerned about Paris
We get so bothered and worried about things going on out there, but little or no worry for things going on in here,  our home,  Nigeria.
Nigeria can be a better place if the over 150million people can actually whisper a word of prayer for Nigeria every morning.
Well,  am just saying....
God Bless Nigeria!
God Bless Paris!
Have a beautiful day purplenigmers!

TGIF

 Yaaaayy thank God is Friday 😊😊

I personally love Fridays cuz it just gives me enough time to pamper myself and chill out a bit... Watch movies,  hang out with friends,  you know,  something different from the normal weekly school routine. 

Anywayz am sure y'all know about the Hello Challenge trending on twitter?

Well for those who don't, the power house British singer Adele, has released yet another mind blowing single titled HELLO. 

This song is like airborne ;everywhere i go,  someone is either humming it or playing it or talking bout it. 

Then recently,  this trend started on Twitter #HelloChallenge -  you send a part of the lyrics of hello to your ex then your ex sends to his ex and it goes on like that... 

It's been fun all the way. 

So if you  were to send a line from Hello lyrics to ur ex,  which part would it be?? 

Oya drop your comments asap
For me,  it would be there's such a difference between us and a million miles

Chao! 😘😘😍

HAPPY

Happiness is not something you wait for,
Happiness is not something you plan for,
Happiness is now!
Every moment you have,  every time you spend,
Is an opportunity to be happy.
Happiness is not some fairytale movie,
You have to make it happen.
Happiness does not necessarily have to be when everything is working out well for you,
Or when you have it all rosy,
Happiness is a state of mind,
and the key to unlock that state lies in your hands.
You have the power to make yourself happy,  regardless of the circumstances surrounding you.
Don't wait for something to happen to you or someone to come along before you can be happy.
While waiting on a job or Mr/Mrs right,  you miss a perfectly good opportunity to be happy.
So live in this moment,
NOW is all you've got,  so soak up all the happiness you can.
Be happy,  no matter what....
You owe yourself that much.
Determine to be genuinely, intensely and constantly HAPPY!!!
Have a wonderful day ahead purplenigmers.

DO YOU LIKE YOU?

You got ur make-up on fleek,
The latest dresses at your pick,
Every party,  you show up real quick.
Get your nails done, curl your hair
This us what you want,  to belong
So they like you,  do they like you?

You wanna be known by every clique,
You want your name seen on every list,
You think all these will do the trick,
When it obviously makes you weak.

You don't have to try so hard,
You don't have to give it all away,
You just have to be you and be real,
You don't have to change a single thing.

You are perfectly flawed, beautiful in your own skin,
While trying to be who you are not.
You might end up missing the real thing,
Never you hide your true identity and character,
Cuz you never know who is falling in love with who you really are.

Happy new week purplenigmers 😘😘

AN APPLE A DAY KEEPS THE DOCTOR AWAY

An apple a day keeps the doctor away,  but it turns out they may have specific health benefits beyond that.
A recent study of 50 people by the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago found the odour of green apple helped reduce the severity of migraines.
"This may have something to do with the ability of pleasant fragrances to relax us and reduce tension " says Charles Spence,  a professor of  Experimental Psychology at Somerville College,  Oxford.
So start eating apples and remember the healthiest way to live is to BE POSITIVE!
If you have a positive attitude,  you won't even have a migraine in the first place because you will have no cause to worry,  believing that everything is gonna be just fine...
Happy Sunday purplenigmers 😘

A PIECE ON LOVE

Don't tell me you love,
Let your act speak the thought.
Don't tell me you care,
When i need you, be there.
I don't want to be your sometimes,
I want to be your always.
If you are repeatedly telling me to stay,
Then give me a reason not to go away.
But if you  treat me the way you please,
Then this is where I  take my leave.
Lol i hope you like the piece. I just scribbled it up now while am meant to be doing my assignment (covers face).
Anywayz comment, like... Peace.

RIGHTEOUSNESS REDEFINED

Good morning beautiful people. Am sure y'all had a splendid night. Hope you said your prayers?
Well this morning,  i stumbled upon something beautiful and i felt i should share.
More often than not, we do not understand what God actually expects from us or what exactly to do to please him.
This is why many have given up on true christianity, they would just rather settle for being a regular churchgoer.
But permit you to tell you that you have gotten it all wrong! Yes indeed...
God is not expecting anything from you.  He is asking you to do NOTHING! Yeah,  you heard me.
Does this girl even know what she is  saying" you might be thinking. Let's fall back on some authority:
Amplified Bible :
Romans 3:22
22Namely, the righteousness of God which comes by believing with personal trust and confident reliance on Jesus Christ (the Messiah). [And it is meant] for ALL who believe. (emphasis  is mine) 
  Romans 4:3
3For what does the Scripture say? Abraham believed in (trusted in) God, and it was credited to his account as righteousness (right living and right standing with God).^(A)

^{These are not my words, it's all written there,  in the Bible. God requires nothing from you but to BELIEVE in His son,  Jesus Christ, who sacrificed his own life for the atonement of our sins through FAITH. Here is another keyword. The first one was Belief, niw the second is Faith. BELIEF and FAITH are knotted up together, remove one from the equation and you lose the other. They work simultaneously. Now some may be saying "I am a good person so God should have no problem with me even though I am not born again". True that,  you have good deeds but what distinguishes you as a child of God, the only missing link is your BELIEF in Jesus Christ through FAITH. The point cannot be over-emphasized. At the end of the day,  you are not justified by your good deeds but by your faith in Jesus Christ. FAITH is everything to a believer. You cannot do without it. It is Faith thay gives you acccess to GRACE(Unmerited Favor). FAITH gives you access to  God's glory. It is only by FAITH that anyone can please God So stop thinking for God; worrying about that test,  or what you will eat or that friend that is misbehaving,   and start believing. Faith is key,  remember,  personal trust and confident reliance.} 

It is not collective trust,  don't rely on the  faith of another,  your mum or dad or friend,  build your own personal trust in God. 
Have a blessed day!

IT'S LIFE, LET IT PASS!

It can be so frustrating when you have a lot going through your head but you can't seem to find the right words to justify your thoughts or feelings or confusion.
It's like everything is muddled up in one big dough and no one seems to really get what's going on, cuz the words can't justify the thoughts,
Then you are just stuck in your own anomia.
Nothing can be more annoying or devastating like when you want to say so many things but the words seem to have gone on a frolic of their own,
then seconds later, when the moment  has passed,  then all the right words would start rushing in and you will be like "why didn't I say this?",  "how could i have said that?".
I'm sure many of you can relate right now.
So what could possibly be the solution to this beautifully packaged problem??
My answer goes thus : It's life,  let it pass .
At least now you know you are not alone so don't beat yourself up too much over that. Such is life,  no one is perfect.
You cannot always say the right things at the right time to suit the right person.
At times,  we say or do the wrong things  but it's in the midst of all these beautiful imperfections that we create for ourselves,  beautiful memories that we can look back on and smile... Why?
Cuz IT WAS LIFE AND YOU DECIDED TO LIVE IT....
Have a beautiful day purplenigmers 😘

OH HEY PURPLENIGMERS!

The pic says it all. It's two ways.  You can either sit down there and keep wishing or stand up and start working but one thing is sure: the outcome will not be the same. So start something,  don't wait for tomorrow,  JUST DO IT NOW! And while you are it,  stay focused. Keep your eyes on the prize.
If there's one thing i want us to learn today,  it is this : The moment you deviate from the original plan, the entire dream or goal or vision becomes cosmetic.
What am trying to say is that once you set out to do something,  don't get distracted by other attractions you will meet along the way and deviate from the original goal, the ratio decidendi(reason for the decision) because if you do so,  you might just end up achieving nothing at the end of the day.
For instance, the main purpose fir this blog at first,  was just to have a marked territory of my own  where i can pour out my feelings and experiences and daily challenges without having to explain myself to anybody but along the line,  the objective changed. Now my sole aim of Purplenigma97.blogspot.com -  Perfect Imperfections,  is to ignite the fire of positivity, that is constantly being subdued by all shades of negativity, in the world.
Thus,  the point is if your new reason is not better than the previous one,  then stick to the original plan.
Nothing can stop a man who knows where he is going to.
Constantly remind yourself of why you are doing what you are doing and above all,  stay POSITIVE.

SHORT NOTES

When you push yourself so hard and you think you are about to break, that moment right there,  is when you just broke into something real... It's called LIFE,  so live it,  experience it and shine through it.
Have a lovely day purplenigmers.

GOD 'S IDEAL 😍😍

Happy new month Purplenigmers😃. Just like yesterday, 2015 rolled in,  and here we are,  almost rolling out of the year .
The Year 2015 has been characterized by a lot of happenings - The Good, Bad and Ugly (I personally have had my share if it all) but despite all,  I am still standing,  you are still standing.
We have every reason to be grateful to the Lord Almighty for life, love,  grace,  health,  family,  friends and lots more.
If not for anything,  for the fact that you can read this post right now and you are not blind,  it's enough reason to just look up and say "Thank you Daddy".
In this new month,  I want us to  carry a positive mentality wherever we go. "I cant" should never be in your diction. Remember, You can do  ALL things through Christ who strengthens us(Philippians 4:13).
Therefore, stay positive, think positive, eat positivity, speak positivity, breathe positivity...
Be so filled with positive vibes that it becomes infectious. Spread it all around you(It's allowed). That's what we the purplenigmers are all about.
Whatsoever you find doing,  do it well. Don't grumble,  don't murmur,  don't hate(it's poisonous). Just be happy and forever grateful for each moment.
Let every work of obligation be an act of inspiration.
You are God's ideal, His Masterpiece,  His work of art, a peculiar personality,  a royal priesthood... Need i say more?
You are made perfect even in your imperfections by a perfect God,  who  has loved  us with an everlasting love. So just keep smiling and keep shining!

MISSED OR NAH?

Lol, would anyone even think of your hottest selfie if you ever go missing? But this leads to a more important question, how many people will notice if you go missing with the way social media has taken over people's lives?? Ever seen the seasonal,  "Being MaryJane"?? Where a particular active and vibrant young lady died and nobody noticed till after three years? Not even her mother, father, boyfriend or anyone? Isn't that scary??
It makes me wonder if we are really of value or importance to anyone or we are all just passing off time in each other's lives and once the time is up,  you get lost and chapter closed! 

Now let's discuss. Has social media positively or adversely affected relationships among people??
Please  this is an open-minded discussion. Let's hear your views.  If negative,  what do you think can be done? Because am sure no one wants to be gone for three years unmissed like the lady in "Being MaryJane".
Lol but on a lighter note, let's have some fun. If you ever go missing(God forbid),  who do you think will notice first?? Comment comment comment.

SEE ME SEE GBEKE!!!

MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH KONGA
My people,  please  help me analyze this us matter.  I got an Asus mini laptop from Konga,  only for me to find out it does not have a hard drive.  An ICT guy now explained to me that it was using cloud storage  . Please  didn't these people  see my location (Ado-Ekiti) before selling such to me??  What they wrote online was 500gb web storage. How will a normal ordinary person know that web storage meant you will be storing and assessing  documents in the cloud and you must be online 24/7to use it(wetin concern law student with ICT).  Immediately i discovered this,  i called Konga customer care,  those ones were just telling me stories. Then i now mailed them and they replied saying  i cannot return the product simply because the seal has been broken (E gba mi) How will i check the product without breaking the seal??
To cut the long story short,  these people have practically frustrated me in every way humanly possible.  I sent subsequent mails which they blatantly ignored.  I have called and called,  wasting over a thousand naira airtime,  all to no avail(this kind when you are tired, you will shutup).  I even offered to add more money to get a bigger laptop in replacement of this one but it all fell on deaf ears.
The most painful part is that i have heard of several returns to Konga,  even after the seal has been broken so why my case is different,  i don't understand. Now my #50,000 is hanging in the air with a totally useless laptop in my custody. Please what should i do?? Or is this product not intact enough to be accepted??

What happened to Konga's so-called return policy?  Whatever happened to customer satisfaction??   It makes me wonder if online shopping malls,  especially Konga,is reliable at all. Please people help me share on Twitter,  instagram,  facebook and the likes. We must get a response to these questions. Thanks

WHY ARE YOU HERE?

Life is all about opportunities ;
Each day is embedded with chances, risks and opportunities.
From the moment you rise up from bed in the morning,
till you lay back to sleep at night,
there is a constant ram on the door of your heart;
A call for purpose,
an opportunity standing  before you...
Your purpose is not your dream;
Dreams are envisioned by man but purpose is not predetermined (It is God made).
You discover your purpose as you journey through life.
Many a times,  people think they know their purpose but they often mistake purpose for ambition.
What or who you want to become is your ambition,
What you intend to achieve is your dream,
Purpose is another realm entirely.

Your purpose is why you are here on earth and not in space or Mars or Jupiter.
When you talk about dreams,  goals and ambitions,
All these are personal ;self-created and self-oriented,
Purpose is general ; people - focused,
It is centered on everyone but you.
You can never discover your purpose while  in pursuit of your selfish interests and goals,
It is until you look outside the box and see things from a selfless perspective,
Then and only then will you realize your purpose.
Most times,  our purposes are encapsulated in those little things we ignore or consider irrelevant,
not those things we do for ourselves,
but the things we do in the interest of others.
To cut the long story short,  all I  am trying to say is that you find your purpose while helping others discover theirs.
The whole purpose thing is intertwined;
You find your purpose in my purpose and mine in yours... It's a  teamwork.
For me,  this is part of my purpose.
So dear friends,  stop running helter skelter,  from north to south,  in search of purpose and identity ;
Your purpose is right within you.
Like,  share,  comment... Thanks

SOFT WHISPERS

Hi guys! It's been a minute. To be honest,  i got discouraged and uninterested along the way but hell no! I am not quitting blogging. I got remotivated and here i am.
Well this post is a ladies' special edition. Well getting straight to the business, oh hey girlfriends! we've got some chitchat to do. "I love you", " no girl has ever made me feel the way you do",  "you complete me" , " you possess me" , "nothing can quench my love for you" ,  you know how  the rest of the story goes... Soft whispers all around you,  especially when it's coming from a real cute and sensible guy,  then your heart begins to melt. You most probably once had a crush on him, that's it! Game over. You let your guards down and you are ready to dive into the ocean of love,  even without a life jacket? (Sistur, take a chillpill).
As girls,  we get easily swayed by words; we are moved by what we hear,  especially when it's coming from the bass(guys or males).
As a result of this,  we fall in "love" all too quick too soon,  or at least we think we are.
Once we begin to hear what we like;those sweet words, soft whispers... Then you are like no guy has ever said that to me before and even before your heart decides,  you have allowed your head to do all the love calculation,  then you conclude that he loves you and you love him back.
Truth be told,  there is no average teenage girl that is not moved by what she hears,  especially from a guy she likes, it's just that some are more susceptible than others.
Worse still,  if you had earlier thought that the guy was way out of your league,  then all of a sudden, he starts showing interest in you, it is very normal to tend to rush into a relationship with that kind of guy without weighing the odds.
Girlfriends! There is no guy that is too good or too fresh for anybody. Do not mislead yourself into the illusion that if you say no to this one,  better guys will not come along. That he is all cute and smart, funnyand he was your crush, then you say fate has brought you together(says who?).
That he goes to church, and when he sings,  the heavens open and angels descend does not still mean he is the right one for you.
You  say love is blind? Sweetheart,  love is not blind until you are married and you have to close your eyes to the flaws of your spouse,  but for now,  your eyes are still wide open,  use them well!
Love is patient,  Love is kind!
Any guy who claims to love you but cannot wait until you are ready does not love you.
If a guy says he loves you, he should respect you in every way and put your feelings first before his.
It is not just by the words or soft whispers, it must be backed up by deeds. Those little gestures, efforts and sacrifices(observing even the tiniest details about you like the way you hold your coffee mug or the change in your tone  when you  are sad) ,  make all the difference. To them(guys),  it might be insignificant but to us,  it means everything.
It costs a guy nothing to compose a very sweet,  captivating and romantic text, it is their calling!So don't get all mushy and excited and head over heels in love just because of a text,  It is no big deal!
Learn to time - proof any attraction a guy has towards you. Is it love or lust or infatuation? Will it stand the test of time? How far is he willing to go to be with you? Does he care about your feelings or he is just attracted to your body? Is he willing to make sacrifices for you?
These are the questions that should register in your head before giving any guy a chance. Your heart is too expensive to be thrown at every Tom,  Dick and Harry that professes love to you.
So girlfriends, it's time to bend the rules a bit and fuel up the chase. They love  challenges,  give it to them. Don't make it too easy for them.
Anticipate more posts in this title "SOFT WHISPERS"
Comments,  feedbacks,  suggestions and shares are very much welcome.

STYLE IS AN EXPRESSION!

Yes itz been a while... I know... I'm sorry....
So we are going to be talking about something interesting this time. STYLE! What do you know about style?
Many people often mistake style for fashion but they are not one and the same.
Fashion is general,  style is unique! Fashion is knowing what to buy while style is what you do with it.
While Fashion can be imitated,  style ought to be initiated.
Your style should tell a story;
Yoyr style should make a statement ;
Your style should define who you are, it should compliment your personality.
Don't just wear an outfit because you saw a celeb rocking it on TV ,
Wear what suits you;
Wear what makes you feel good about yourself ;
Wear what makes you feel comfortable in your own skin.
And who says you have to be half naked before you look good??
My dear,  MODESTY IS THE NEW SEXY!
S- Stand out
T-  Trendy
Y- Younique
L- Love what you wear
E- Elegant
Yes. That's my definition of STYLE!
Meanwhile,  here are some killer styles to feed your eyes with. Get inspired and create your own style;)
