LIFE WITHOUT COFFEE.

When I decided to write to Dr Afiniki Akanet, I only knew she writes . I knew she is the author of the book "life without coffee" but didn't know anything else about her. She responded to my mail in a very polite and friendly manner that made me feel comfortable to talk to her. She sent me her web address and there was where I discovered every other thing I didn't know about her.

She is definitely a role model and a woman I tag "fully packed". Dr Akanet is a UK medical doctor, entrepreneur, charity trustee, motivational speaker, wife and mother. She is the founder of Forte, Charity for Inspiration and director of Evasitters UK. Afiniki lives in England with her husband, son and daughter. She enjoys encouraging people to make the most of their opportunities and live the life they want.

This is to promote her book "life without coffee" but this is not her first book. She wrote her first published book, Fortitude, in 2008, So far, she has written three books in eight years, but she also writes short articles for websites and medical journals.

In her book "LIFE WITHOUT COFFEE" Dr Afiniki Akanet shares, in her friendly and motivational style, how she handles her multifaceted life without coffee. It is definitely not a book about coffee! This is a book for anyone that wants real and achievable ways of living a productive and happy life at home and at work. A must-read for this year!

So far all the reviews I have been seeing on the book are pointing to the fact that it is a must read. I really can't wait to lay my hand on the book too (winks). Meanwhile these are a few reviews:

"Brilliant book"

- Trish Adudu

"Wise words for busy lives"

- Matthew Ling

"I definitely recommend this book, which will give you a fresh perspective on the way to handle the different aspects of life to make you happy and fulfilled, whatever the circumstances."

- Cindy Deza

"It’s packed with insights about productivity, relationships, and general ‘life management’ tips. It’s a loving kick up the backside, and don’t we all need that from time to time?

A terrific read!"

– Dayo Benson

PREGNANT WOMEN AND THE BANKING SECTOR.

seeing this topic, the first thought is "what sort of topic is this" lol..... I couldn't think of any better topic for the issue I want to talk about. I had female genital mutilation prepared for this week but that post seem to love to still rest a little in my archived post. Been pushing that post for weeks now but hopefully I will get around someday to do it plus this topic seems too interesting to me to  be achieved (smiles).

Some few days back, I went to the bank to do some transactions and there I found out something very interesting I didn't know was a norm in banks. I have gotten used to spending a minimum of one hour in the bank these days because of the large crowd and when I get there, I stay on the queue and not make a fuss over the crowd and time spent. By now I have an understanding of not going close to the bank if I have other important things to do.

On this particular day a lady on another queue kept making a fuss about how the queue was not moving and how people who just came into the bank were going straight to the front to carry out their transactions. She kept on like that for a while until it was explained to her that those people she was talking about were actually pregnant women and it was a rule in the bank that all pregnant and nursing mothers don't queue. Once they get into the bank they are to be attended to immediately. That didn't stop her from complaining still.

The whole issue was a funny one and that was the first time I was hearing about that rule. I was thinking why she didn't feel pregnancy or nursing a child was a justifiable reason for anyone to not stay on the queue. I am sure she had other pressing things to attend to judging from the way she responded to the bank policy on nursing and pregnant mothers.

Firstly, nobody deserves to spend the whole day in the bank or more time than the appropriate time in the bank Whether pregnant or not. At a point, the lady started insisting that she was pregnant too disturbing the quiet of the bank. I thought about what better policy can the banks implement. Such that avoids that kind of noise and disturbance I witnessed in the bank some few days back.

I understand where the lady is coming from and I also understand the banks wanting to care for pregnant women and nursing mothers. She must have felt it wasn't fair enough that simply because she is not pregnant, she should be chanced by one who was pregnant. She must have been thinking "I am a woman too" (lol).

I want us to comment our thoughts on this issue and let's remember to follow me on google+, subscribe to my blog and stay awesome

JUNGLE JUSTICE.

I couldn't bring myself to completely watch a video some weeks back of two people who stole a bike and the sort of judgement the society we live in felt was most appropriate punishment for the sin that was committed.

Two guys stole a bike and they were both burnt alive with the bike. They were first beaten with all kinds of hard object you can ever think of before finally fuel was poured on them like they were some set of rags that needed to be burnt and then the fire. The result was that one died on the spot and the other probably will never live a normal life ever again even if he was taken to the best hospital in the world. This happened in one of the Eastern states in Nigeria.

I have a certain kind of believe and could not put myself together to watch that video. After watching to the extent that I thought I could take, I dropped the phone and left the place. I asked for the outcome of the whole scenario because the more I watched it, the more I felt the need to do a write up.

While that is not the first of such videos that I have seen but I thought how long such judgement will be seen as appropriate. Infact just some few days after the whole bike video case, someone sent me another video of a lady who stole a phone. It's not a video to be kept so I deleted it and didn't think it was a video to be distributed, shared or sent to people. I consider such act of violence "barbaric".

When I did the write up on euthanasia, (if you have not seen that write up, it's a must see) I did research on suicide, mercy killing, life imprisonment and death by hanging and I discovered how much the world has evolved. I consider all (suicide, mercy killing, life imprisonment and death by hanging) to be related in one from or the other.

I can never say this enough or get tired of saying that "a life that cannot be created should not be taken". Life is precious and should be cherished. I am not justifying stealing but that is not to say jungle justice is the perfect punishment for any kind of sin. Some times after the act, you discover the people who got the punishment suffered that as a result of misconception  just like the case of the four uniport student.we have the law and I don't know when we learn not to take laws into our hands.

As far as I researched, death by hanging is in extinction already in most countries of the world and the worst punishment anyone can get for a very bad crime is life imprisonment. For me, I think that is a good enough judgement. People who even get the life imprisonment punishment never ever get the chance to live a normal life, so is that not good enough?. Some countries have begin to realise the fact that "a life that cannot be created should not be taken". The best science has been able to do for us is to create a robot. They have not been able to create a life.

What is the worst sin a person can commit?....it is to take a soul and then do we think that taking that life that took a soul is the best punishment. Humans can never give the best punishment that is commensurate for a soul that was taken by anyone......why, because that life was not created by them in the first place. So we do not soil our hands or worsen that which is already bad enough.

I see jungle justice same way I see death by hanging and don't think it is something of pride anyone should associate themselves with. Sometimes I wonder if the people who take the law into their hands never think of the "maybes" and the "what ifs" in between all that transpired. JUNGLE JUSTICE is a NO NO and I know some people are on this with me.
