Photo from Unsplash Welcome to Limitless!  Hmmmm. THE PAST!   Do you know that not everyone has had bad relationship experiences in the past? Quarrels, misunderstanding or red issues didn’t bring their relationships to an end.  Is this general knowledge?  Some have had good relationships that ended due to the fact that they could not be with the person because of a circumstance beyond them.  For this reason, it sometimes gets difficult to let go, and I truly understand. You had this ‘almost’ perfect relationship, she was everything you ever wanted in a woman. Then, all of a sudden, an issue came up, and you had to separate. If you’ve been through this, you probably understand more right? You haven’t gotten over her completely, but you say to yourself, “well, life goes on, let me give relationship another try”. Then, you start talking to another girl. You guys click and you like her vibe. So, you guys decide to meet for the first time.  While on the date, sh...

Photo from Unsplash  Reading effectively is reading to accomplish a purpose and to get a desired result. So, the way I would read a novel is different from the way I would read a school book to understand and pass my exam, and that’s different from reading for research too. Do you get me? So, here, I’m talking about academia. How can you read to produce result?  1. Know your ambience and utilize it!  This is the very first step you must understand to be able to read effectively.  Some people read with music. I don’t know how you guys do it, but kudos! I know I can never pay attention if I try it. I will just start singing and dancing😂.  But that’s me right? Some people have actually figured it out and they’ve seen that it helps stimulate their thought process and ease their flow.  The best place for me to read is the library. You might want to ask me why. I just like the complete silence which helps me “hear” what I’m reading and understand better. And yes...

You get the drift?  Anyway, I’m here to tell you that this Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to shoot your shot in the form of a gift or a gestur...

Do you ever get that feeling of “I’ve not been praying, I need to get closer to God, my spiritual life has been down” sometimes? It is the Holy Spirit tugging at your heart. He is bringing these thoughts into your mind because he wants you to take action.  But, of course, the devil does not want you close to God. That is why he brings distractions and limits you to just thinking about these things but not taking action. Or have you ever been so far from God, but you still come to Him when you need something, then, you suddenly feel so guilty and shameful?  You are definitely not alone. I just want to share my experience with you today and give practical tips on how to stay close to God.  Before I go into sharing my experience, I want you to keep a word in mind- ATMOSPHERE .   Let me start with this story.  During my undergrad days- 300 level 2nd semester precisely,  I had these two roommates named Clara and Pelumi. These two people are some of the key figur...

Photo from Unsplash Happy new year guys!!! I hope you had a good holiday. I had a great one actually, although, it was entirely different from the end of the year season I’ve been used to. There was no killing of chicken or pounded yam😑. Nonetheless, it was really nice for me. I took time to rest and reflect on the past year.  Anywayyyy!!! I’m so happy you made it to 2022!! I really hope you make the best out of it and have a great year. I’m so rooting for you this year!  Now, I don’t want to get your hopes high and tell you life will be all rosy this year. To be honest, there would always be a hurdle. However, how we decide to cross it is entirely left in our hands.  Would you step back from the hurdle, get stuck, or cross it?  There would be people who would try to leave their marks of negativity on you. They would drop subtle snide remarks that leaves you feeling bad.  It might not even be personal. It could be what you watch and see on social media platform...

If you are like me who likes to just curl up and watch a good movie, or read a good book after a long day, welcome to Limitless!  Here are the top 7 movies you should watch this season.  7. A California Christmas                                        Photo from IMDb  You’ve probably come across a story like this. Cliche, but who cares? We already know the ending, we just want to see how the events unfold. This story has a gripping plot though.  A wealthy guy poses as a farmhand to convince a country girl to sell her farmland. What happens when she discovers he’s been fooling her?🤔 Trust me, I would have slept off before the first half if I didn’t like it.  Add it to your watchlist. The second part is out, and to be honest, it’s mid. There isn’t much drama, and I like drama! I didn’t like the way it started off too. Some movies are better left at part 1! However,...

What have you come here seeking? Where are you from? You have come where no one ever reaches You have stepped where no one ever treads Who are you? Who are your parents? Since the owner of the world created the world, no one ever did such a thing You are so bold as to enter the town of cruelty The heads you brought here  You won't see them any longer The legs you walked here with  They become the gods’ own You won't try that again -Excerpt from The Palmwine Drinkard by Amos Tutuola “The picture you see above is from a play, The Palmwine Drinkard, where I played the role of The Cruel King- Oba Ìkà, the hardest role I’ve ever played. I was so into the character that it started affecting my everyday life. I found myself laughing hysterically as the king would do; method acting almost messed me up.” - Victor Alausa ————— Today, on Limitless, Victor Alausa talks to us about his highly demanding, but exciting experience as a Theatre Arts student at the University of Ibadan.  ——...

Welcome to Limitless! Today, let’s talk about superstitious beliefs that we grew up hearing.  1. If you lean on the wall while thunder strikes, your house will collapse. Someone should try this first, I want to check something😂😂 because I never tried it. How on earth did I believe this. A big lie.  2. If someone crosses your leg when you are pregnant, or you pass over someone’s legs while you are pregnant, your child will look like that person.  How abeg?😂 How does that make sense?  3. If you stand by the door while it’s raining, thunder will strike you, and your head will fly off.  Femi told me about this one. 😂😂😂 4. If you look at the mirror after 12 midnight, evil spirits will attack you.  Edna told me this, and she said she still finds it weird to look at the mirror after 12am. 😂😂 5. A tiger is giving birth whenever it’s sunny and raining at the same time .  This might be true though. Hm🤔 ———————— Thanks for reading guys!  What other...

Welcome to Limitless!  This is going to be very short.  Has something ever happened to you, and you just completely froze, not knowing what to do? Let me tell you one of my experiences.  One afternoon about 7 years ago, I followed my mum to the bank.  I didn’t want to go inside the bank with her, so, I opted to wait in the car.  I can remember that I was very bored and tired.  Before I knew it, I had dozed off. It was a very light sleep because I was still conscious of my surrounding.  Meanwhile, I was in the passenger’s seat with the driver’s and my own window down.  All of a sudden, I felt a presence in my space.  I opened my eyes, and I saw a woman clothed in rags, with hair turning to dreads because of all the years it’s been left uncombed, backing a doll, and pointing a 20 naira note to me.  A mentally ill woman.  I completely froze.  She was pointing it through the driver’s window, with her body almost all the way in....

Welcome to Limitless!  Today, we want to specifically dive into the relationship segment of this blog.  Let’s talk about listening actively in relationships.  Before you shake your head in denial and close this page because you aren’t in a relationship, just wait a minute, three minutes at most, and hear me out.  Foremost, let us understand that no one is perfect. We all have our shortcomings. As a result, I think we would all admit that there is no perfect relationship. However, without a doubt, we can have healthy relationships.  One key factor that defines a healthy relationship is great communication, and listening is a major part of communication. How? Listening is a feedback, and it also determines feedback. Think about it.  Now, there is a difference between merely hearing and active listening. You know that moment when someone says “are you listening to me?” while you are scrolling through your phone, and you reply with “yes, I’m not deaf, I can hea...
